  1. If someone else wonders what it means, HEIC is image file format, encoded using HEVC. Only latest iOS and MacOS X seem capable of opening that.

  2. Take the money and run on An Ethereum Startup Just Vanished After People Invested $374K (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    We know a startup management technique is "take the money and run", but all that mess for just 374,000 USD? Real business leaders do not risk jail for so little money.

  3. Censored climate change report on What They Don't Tell You About Climate Change (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    In the meantime, islamic countries fear energy, food and water shortage, but they censor reports released to the public about that.

  4. Same approach for US itself on EFF Beats 'Stupid' Patent Troll In Court (courthousenews.com) · · Score: 2

    US could follow the same approach of this ruling, and stop issuing fines for businesses that broke US law outside of US.

  5. Sure, data is anonymized, but it still contains the location where you sleep and where you work (the later being just what is missing to sort out people living in the same building)

  6. EU does not pass laws. Member states do.

  7. I cannot think a ministry can be so stupid to do that while being aware of the game source. It is obvious it will be quickly debunked.

    That suggests someone tricked him. Is it a new method to get rid of a ministry?

  8. Intelligence of physical laws on Is Physical Law an Alien Intelligence? (nautil.us) · · Score: 2

    Where would be the intelligence in physical laws? I would expect an intelligence form to make decisions, and we do not say "physical laws" by mistake: they are supposed to be valid anywhere, anytime.

    When out observations mismatch with a physical laws, it is not the law that took a decision. We just got outside of the law's domain of application, and we start over with a more general physical law.

  9. carbon-neutral cities on Magazine For Museums Publishes Its 2040 Issue -- 23 Years Early (aam-us.org) · · Score: 1

    Given the current situation, if we want a nice future, 2040 cities should do better than carbon-neutral, they should be carbon-negative cities.

  10. Bordeaux wines on Here Comes the World's Biggest Shopping Spree -- Again (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    It is amazing a region as small as Bordeaux is able to supply that many China's singles in wine.

  11. Governement spending on Monopoly Critics Decry 'Amazon Amendment' (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, this is a two-edged sword, isn't it? Government spends too much and takes too long to buy its simple office needs, but streamlining that process and cutting costs puts more money in the pocket of Jeff Bezos

    Government spending may be inefficient, but it creates economical activity. Now if its expenses go directly to a fiscal paradise, that positive outcomes vanishes.

  12. Re:Too young to know on Nearly a Third of Millennials Say They'd Rather Own Bitcoin Than Stocks (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    perhaps your an old fart who doesn't understand where the future is headed.

    I am not sure there is a nice future for people who invest on a single thing.

  13. Uber has flying know-how? on NASA Is Working With Uber on Its Flying Taxi Project · · Score: 1

    I wonder why NASA thinks Uber has some know how about flying autonomous vehicles.

    Their ground autonomous vehicles have not being very impressing so far

  14. shutting down of the Harmony Link system is a way to get more customers on the newer Harmony Hub system

    That seems a strange idea: brick your product, and expect customer to trust you again and buy a new one.

  15. Too young to know on Nearly a Third of Millennials Say They'd Rather Own Bitcoin Than Stocks (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Perhaps millennials are too young to remember what a bubble is?

  16. 24% workers could be fired on One in Four UK Workers Maliciously Leaks Business Data Via Email, Study Says (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    24% of workers confess an action that could get them fired. People may be evil, but they have room to improve.

  17. AP's source on Russia Hackers Had Targets Worldwide, Beyond US Election (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Reading AP's paper, it is not obvious what their sources are.

  18. Good idea to burn it? on Every Other Summer Will Shatter Heat Records Within a Decade (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Methane has a grater impact on greenhouse effect than CO2, and ice-trapped methane will be released because of ocean warming, thus increasing greenhouse effect and climate warming again.

    The best scenario would be to avoid ocean warming so that methane stays trapped, but if it is to be released, perhaps it is better to burn it.

  19. Ticket pricet on Colorado Taking Steps To Get Its Own Hyperloop (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Given the insane numbers we see for building hyperloop, we can wonder how much a ticket will cost.

    And if it is too expensive, it will not replace car

  20. One of the disadvantages of being a liberal democracy is that occasionally you're obliged to act like one. This means not meddling directly in foreign elections

    It is true USA does not have to do that. The preferred way to remove a foreign government is to back a non democratic coup

  21. How do they know the ads were effective?

    We know it was effective because Clinton's supporters said so, and most media backed that story.

  22. Those pesky russians are smart! They can change an election outcome with just an ad! I wonder why US politicians did not think about doing the same.

  23. I guess that helps understanding how US manages to spend 36% of worldwide military expenditures on its own (Russia, which is supposed to be a threat, spends 4%)

  24. No digital copy on Hewlett-Packard Historical Archive Destroyed In California Fires (pressdemocrat.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It is worth 2 million USD and nobody thought about making a digital copy? Or perhaps the 2 million figure is just for insurance company?

  25. If available, better use it on Google To Remove Public Key Pinning (PKP) Support In Chrome (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    HPKP is a dangerous protocol since a mistake can lock your users out of your web site for a while.

    But ignoring it comes with a threat: if an attacker manages to impersonate your server, he can send bad HPKP headers that will lock users out. The only defense against that is to actually use HPKP.

    HPKP seems to go the way of the Dodo for Chrome, but it is still available on other browsers
