    You mean when she looked up and said "OH SHIT"? because she wasn't looking at the road?

    The safety driver who was too busy looking at her phone instead of the road.

  3. How many EU citizens will now freely give their data by accessing the sites they want through a vpn?

    I've been reporting and telling that to the FCC for years now. These VOIP providers know exactly who they are doing business with, in fact some exclusively deal with these foreign call centers knowing full well they are violating the law.

    We go after the providers as it is literally the only way it can be done.

    But we won't, what ever law they pass this time will be full of loopholes allowing for continued abuse.

  6. Why only half? on Google Says Chrome Blocks 'About Half' of Unwanted Autoplays (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 2

    Seriously does anyone want auto playing videos besides crappy advertisers? And they want a pat on the back for what, allowing 1/2 to get through? They have the power the stop them all, and they should be tarred and feathered for not using it.

  7. Re:Why should I care? on Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano Erupts, Prompting Evacuation Orders (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 1

    The eastern side of the big island is not the rich area. It rains a lot and there are no sandy beaches. Hell, you can buy land there for 20k an acre.

  8. LLVM is not an abbreviation, it is the name.

    The very first paragraph on LLVM.org:
    The LLVM Project is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. Despite its name, LLVM has little to do with traditional virtual machines. The name "LLVM" itself is not an acronym; it is the full name of the project.

  9. I'm not saying anything but obviously Chris Lattner is. So instead of asking rhetorical questions here, ask him why he thinks it is important.

  10. The fact you cannot bear to attach your ID to your post makes me think you would rather troll then expose your true beliefs. Also, you seem just as triggered by the idea that polite interaction makes things work more smoothly. Instead you just want to be able to insult people with no consequences.

  11. That's because you have a y chromosome, had you been a double x I bet your position and experiences would be quite different.

  12. Tampers?

    It is my property right? When I repair my car am I tampering? When I repair my computer (I probably have far more experience then the tech who would do the warranty repair) am I tampering?

    Tamper,
    interfere with (something) in order to cause damage or make unauthorized alterations.

    Well nothing is unauthorized as I own the product so no, no tampering is done.

    Does Let's Encrypt verify identity, I can't find anything on their site about it.

    If a CA is not verifying identity then what use is their certificate?

    I get you are trying to be pedantic, but you failed to understand that plastics are organic compounds.

  15. what do general purpose CPUs have to do with cryptomining?
    I don't know of any coin with any traction that uses CPUs, Bitcoin Lite Coin Dash etc are all ASIC mined and the Ethereum clones use GPU's. None of these will effect the sale of CPUs.

  16. Re: $10/month on PSA: Amazon Will Increase Price of Prime To $119 (cnbc.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Interesting you say that. Since Amazon has been relying on their own logistics in my area I have found that their delivery has gotten far worse.
    Overnight orders delayed by several days(FBA not SFP so no blaming 3rd parties) .
    Prime orders not making the 2 day delivery time
    Orders of Prime listed items defaulting to non prime sellers , often with no warning.

    I make no claim how it is in your neck of the woods but around here, even with a warehouse in spitting distance, Prime seems to be losing its luster.

  17. Maybe if Prime hadn't been failing so much lately. on PSA: Amazon Will Increase Price of Prime To $119 (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The fact that many orders I have ordered in the recent past have failed to be delivered or even shipped on time makes me believe Amazon can no longer live up to the Prime requirements.

    When you overnight a Prime product on a Wednesday you should not receive a ship date of the following Monday.
    Things like that have already happened to me several times this year and all items were FBA so no third party can be blamed for shipping delays.

  18. Doctors do use leeches still. Though they are bred and not collected. So leech collectors were replaced by leech breeders.

  19. They are on tethers. Do you think they just let them freely float on the winds? Most would land in the ocean then.

    If automation makes this part of forecasting more efficient and less expensive then why are we bitching.

    Launching balloons is probably the least technical part of the job. So while I feel for these low skill employees at NWS, I feel it's better to save there where it will not effect our forecast accuracy.

    Did they create a back story for Manning and reach out and flat out lie to news reporters? If not then this is on a whole different level.
