  1. My own experience with weight loss on Food Calorie Counts Will Start Appearing in US Restaurants and Grocery Stores (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Over a year ago, I got tired of hearing my friend talk about weight loss. I gave simple advice that I assured him would work. He refused to listen. What did I do? I followed my own advice. In 2 months I had lost 35 lbs. I've kept the weight off this entire time while on a diet consisting almost entirely of TV dinners, sushi, McDonald's, and pizza. It's not rocket surgery here people. Eat a small amount less and move around more. That's it.

  2. No shit, Sherlock.

  3. Re: Wrong approach on Google Will Ban Bail-Bond Ads (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Forcing people into prim and proper is their MO these days. Pretty sure Damore made that obvious.

  4. Re: Find/Replace on Are Two Spaces After a Period Better Than One? (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I look forward to when you eat those words when you're older. Until then, get off my damn lawn.

  5. Re: Tax system to tax gravity... on Orbits of Jupiter and Venus Affect Earth's Climate, Says Study (usatoday.com) · · Score: 2

    It's easy to forget about, as it's all but invisible from the basement.

  6. When will they learn on Microsoft Hopes Money Will Entice More Developers (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Entire operating systems and huge software suites have been built by volunteers. Looking at things through the eyes of a bean counter limits them to myopic tunnel vision.

  7. Re:The War Between Man and Machine on Uber Vehicle Saw But Ignored Woman It Struck, Report Says (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    It begins....

    Man and machine? The driver identifies as "Rafaela", so maybe it should be woman vs machine? Or peoplekind vs machinekind?

  8. Better headline: Ticketmaster seeks to squeeze more money out by collecting biometric data on adults and children. George Orwell was unable to be reached for comment.

  9. Ok gubmint on The Pentagon Bans Huawei, ZTE Phones From Retail Stores On Military Bases (theverge.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Time for the government to put up or shut up with its exact and explicit concerns. If they're sitting on intel that Chinese phone companies aren't acting proper, then shame on my government.

  10. Derp on Ask Slashdot: What Should I Study? · · Score: 1
  11. Who watches? on Facebook Fires Employee Who Allegedly Used Data Access To Stalk Women (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Who watches the watchmen?

  12. Re: creep date on Facebook Reaches Its Natural Conclusion As A Dating App (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    You're throwing out warning flags like confetti at New Years. I'm not surprised your online dating experiences have sucked.

  13. I'm happy and sad. Obviously obvious decision is obvious. Yay. Sad that that derp isn't obvious.

  14. MongoDB is so WebScale that even leaks from servers get better performance! WebScale!

  15. Bullshit alarm is going off due to being aligned w/ mainstream media, and there's important missing information. If they say Obama refused 21, and Trump has said fsck off to 26, that doesn't tell us anything. We need to at minimum know the percentages. My suspicion is that number of FISA orders has been increased substantially. To have only half a dozen more "um, no" responses with tons more orders would make Trump look good. Therefore, it would make sense biased media sources would conveniently leave that context out.

  16. Let this be a reminder that Microsoft is still evil, after all these years. They only look less evil compared to what Google, Apple, and Facebook have been doing.

  17. Win-win on Facebook Sued Over Fake Ads (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Seems like another win-win for lawyers. Wondering if we'll get a little trickle down justice from those at the top...?

  18. End to end isn't the Google way on Google Accused of Showing 'Total Contempt' for Android Users' Privacy (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Google would never allow end-to-end encryption of data that they'd like to mine. Why would anyone be surprised?

  19. I bet you could make a really sweet Faraday onesie... bonus points if you wear it and fight crime at the same time.

    Perfect idea for a Halloween costume too

  20. Seems like a nice way to legislate backdoors into all devices with the added bonus of an increased attack surface... if I had a pacer maker than could get over the air updates, I'd not want to be worried that an attacker could push an update. I'd have to live my life inside of a Faraday cage to even feel somewhat safe.

  21. Person in bubble on 'Increasingly, People in Silicon Valley Are Losing Touch With Reality' (500ish.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Seems that a person in a bubble is aware enough to notice other people's bubbles but not his/her own bubble.

  22. Re:Fine seems fair on A Florida Man Has been Accused of Making 97 Million Robocalls (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    $1.24 per nuisance call seems pretty fair. Hell, even $5 per unwanted call seems reasonable and would quickly end robocalling.

    In addition, he should be forced to listen to random scam call scripts using text-to-speech for the rest of his life via a cochlear implant.

    Robocall for robocall will leave everyone deaf - Gandhi

  23. Headlines, man... on Robots Ride To the Rescue Where Workers Can't Be Found (nytimes.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is this is an article about workers who are lost? No. Is this an article about robots transporting people? No. Is this an article about search and rescue? No.

    Straddling low income people with loans that they'll never be able to pay off for overpriced education? Great idea... /s
