  1. Useless article on Apple's New Spaceship Campus Has One Flaw -- and It Hurts (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Article is useless without pictures of the issue. Article only contains pictures of the outside of the building. I will assume they are just trolling.

  2. Re:Seems like the exact opposite actually on Pro-Gun Russian Bots Flood Twitter After Parkland Shooting (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    Stoke both sides, get them fighting each other.

  3. Re:Regulation. on Pro-Gun Russian Bots Flood Twitter After Parkland Shooting (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, make sure our state sponsored news is the only news source allowed by law.

    I can't see anything possibly going wrong with that.

  4. Re:Things like this are precisely why... on Coinbase is Erratically Overcharging Some Users and Emptying Their Bank Accounts · · Score: 1

    But, if it turns out the charges were fraudulent, they won't charge you the fee. And the fraudsters don't get your money.

    It doesn't protect you from fucking up on your own, but its better than risking all the money you have by linking your main bank account.

  5. If you have any money in that account other than the money you want them to take... you are an idiot.

  6. Anyone that has your bank account and routing number can immediately drain your account with no warning until you go to use the ATM or look at your bank statement. There is no security build in to the system at all.

    Any time you give away these pieces of information to anyone, you just have to take it on faith that they won't drain your account.

    This includes any time you write a personal check. The numbers are printed on the check. If you don't implicitly trust the person or the security methods of their organization, get a cashiers check.

    Make a separate account if you want to do this. For instance, if you want to use PayPal, you need a bank account tied to it. The bank account I use for PayPal has exactly 1 dollar in it, until I want to send money to someone.

  7. Re: Compared to.... on Ultra-Processed Foods May Be Linked To Cancer, Says Study (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    None of which was an actual scientific study. Just some guy on some tv show "said so".

    Actually, not even that. All you did was link to the wiki page of a scientist that covers food topics and some tv show. None of those state "coleslaw from this deli is the antitoxin for cured meat".

    Though Dr. Schwarcz did debunk Uri Geller, so that makes him a pretty cool guy.

    What kind of bullshit are you spreading?

    I assume you read this on naturalnews or from Dr. Oz.

    Yep, every single meat product advertised as "uncured" contains even more nitrates than the usual bacon, ham, etc.

    It's about time the FDA cracks down on that shit. It's blatant false labeling.

  10. Re:In a message later in the day, on Valve Bans Developer After Employees Leave Fake User Reviews (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    And 10 more asset flips and 10 "early access" for full price that will never be finished.

    If anyone thinks Gaben gives 2 shits about the quality of games on Steam, they are idiots.

    But at least we got rid of Steam Greenlight... now Value just lets any garbage in.

  11. Re:What about the other 6? on Messenger Kids Advocates Were Facebook-Funded (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Bribing is ok as long as you don't bribe absolutely everyone? Maybe the first 7 were bribed, and the remaining 6 were just idiots.

  12. I can't believe that all these AC libertarian comments on this article are for real. Nobody can be as dumb as this post is. It has to be trolling, right?

    Also, it's "vicious" not "virtuous", you dope.

    I am going to need you to bill 43800 hours this year.

  15. They tried that... It didn't work. The parachutes have no control and the thing spun itself apart.

    Also you would need parachutes that can operate at supersonic speeds on an 8 story grain silo.

  16. Re:continuation ? on Unknown Language Discovered in Malaysia (smithsonianmag.com) · · Score: 2

    Especially the ones that were invented less than 5 years ago.

  17. Any site with the "facebook plugin" social media thing could be tracking you. The facebook logo image is loaded from facebook's domain.

    Considering how desperately they want to track people, I would assume any resource hosted on facebook's domain is going to track you.

    But hey, just get angry when someone disagrees with you and start name calling like a child. That works too.

  18. Load a 1px image from the adserver's domain. It's the oldest trick in the book.

  19. Considering how in accurate the accelerometers are, it sounds about as likely as that blind driving scene in Taken 2.
