  1. The company would get a millions of dollar fine? Bad news for the ones that expected a partial refund: there will not be any money left.

  2. Partial refund on The Flying Lily Camera Drone is Dead, Buyers Will Be Refunded (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    I doubt they can do full refund since they operated one year without earning a single dollar.

  3. Re:Urban death causes? on Rural Americans At Higher Risk From Five Leading Causes of Death: CDC (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    If you get shot in the heart, does that count as heart disease . . . ?

    But the policeman said it was an accident!

  4. Non binding on Europe Calls For Mandatory 'Kill Switches' On Robots (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    I understand this is again a non binding resolution from EU parliament.

    Remember EU parliament is a fake parliament. It cannot initiate EU directives, only the EU commission can.

  5. Urban death causes? on Rural Americans At Higher Risk From Five Leading Causes of Death: CDC (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    You ought to die of something. If odds are lower to die from heart disease, cancer and accident in urban areas, then what are the risks in the city?

  6. Bitcoin against govenment on Bitcoin Slides as China's Central Bank Launches Checks On Exchanges (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    So good for the ones that have been telling us that bitcoin was good to protect capital against government fiddling on currency. Government just has to investigate to influence bitcoin value.

  7. It is weird they decided to ditch the Yahoo brand, which is one of the last remaining asset (along with customer data).

  8. QLED on 'OLED TVs Will Finally Take Off in 2017' (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Now QLED is coming, manufacturers need to quickly cash out OLED R&D investments before the technology is obsoleted. This is why they will aggressively push it.

  9. Can't they just summon him? Arrest make sense for dangerous people, and this one is not going to harm anyone over the weekend.

  10. Heavy metals on US Military Seeks Biodegradable Bullets That Sprout Plants (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    Then plants will sprout from the discharged ammunition that actively remove soil contaminants

    The plant cannot degrade heavy metals, it can only concentrate them. Be sure to not eat that plant, or animals that ate it.

  11. Python to Go, C, language machine on Google Boosts Python By Turning It Into Go (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Instead of translating to Go, why not directly translate to C, or even to language machine?

  12. Most people can see right through [Obama].

    And what did they see?

  13. Surprisingly, a search on "Assange" yields a single hit!

  14. This attack model assumes there is an app on the phone able to listen all time for ultrasounds. Obviously granting microphone access to an app is dangerious and should not be taken lightly.

  15. Am I the only person thinking these security researchers are the authors of the various forms of malware of late?

    It would not make sense. Black hat people have an incentive to make malware: they make money from it. Security researchers make money in the fight against malware they do not need to create. And creating malware would be stupid for them, as it would introduce the risk of dealing with justice.

  16. Re:Makes sense on France Begins Opt-Out Organ Donation (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    Human dead bodies are not a common good you inherit. If we look it that way, we quickly see contradictions: you would own it but without the right to resell it?

  17. Makes sense on France Begins Opt-Out Organ Donation (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    It makes some sense: when I am alive, my family do not own my body. Why should it be different once I am dead?

  18. Re:How about visitors? on France Begins Opt-Out Organ Donation (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    It's safe to assume this would only apply to French citizens...

    Most of laws apply on a territory, regardless of people nationality. There are exceptions, but I do not see any reason for this one.

  19. the Deathstar was destroyed a long time ago

    If the plans were not lost, it could have been rebuilt.

  20. That deserves a +1 insightful. Many malwares are made in USA, but no government points finger to US intelligence when they discover one.

  21. Aliens? Nope, this is just the deathstar being used to zap some celestial bodies.

  22. Organ market on Self-Driving Cars Will Make Organ Shortages Even Worse (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    Organ market looks a very bad idea: "got a bad debt? Megacorp Inc. can help you - in exchange for a kidney."

    I understand it exists as a black market, but making it legal is not a step in the right direction to curb it down.

  23. Re:Why nuclear? on Toshiba Is 'Burning Cash At An Alarming Rate' (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    TFA is about what gets actually deployed nowadays.

  24. No link to her death on Snowden Doc Shows NSA Blamed Russia For Hack of Murdered Journalist (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    No real news here: as in many countries, domestic intelligence monitors opponents, and there is nothing more, as the classified stuff says:

    It is not known whether this attack is in any way associated with the death of the journalist.

    Well, great or not, renewable is the current trend
