  1. Addendum: maybe we can get Hemsworth to do a PSA to stop treating all problems like nails?

  2. Block chain technology could be useful, but since people seem to have forgotten that there's more than just that hammer, this bullshit pervades. Guessing everyone is still upset MjÃlnir is broken, and that's why we have this hammer obsession.

  3. Re: Effects of the pill on New Male Contraceptive Gel Enters Clinical Trials (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful
    It does not put men and women on equal reproductive grounds. The woman still has all the power. Want her to keep the kid? Too bad, it's her body. Don't want to keep the kid? Too bad, you're on the hook for child support for 18 years. Didn't even have sex with her? No problem for her, there's always paternity fraud.

    If you really wanted to make it equal, men would have the option to veto an abortion and the ability to give up all parental rights. Babies shouldn't be used as pawns to trap another individual, male or female.

    Odd. That's exactly what I told my girlfriend...

  5. Good news on US Life Expectancy Falls Further (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    As life expectancy goes down, the possibility that social security will work goes up. The less people who can claim the benefits means more money to fewer survivors. Grim, but it's the truth.

  6. I've waited years for the second seasons for Shingeki no Kyojin and One Punch Man. Get on it, Japan. I'm counting on you to learn Japanese.

  7. Re: Simple solution on How Restaurants Got So Loud (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    No one makes babies anymore. All the kids do is practice, practice, practice.

  8. As I've never used a GUI, I imagine this is like a better tab completion in bash?

    Has anyone asked the Germans for their input? Seems they always have a final solution to any problem... (https://youtu.be/G6JewWEzEl4). Stephen Lynch is hilarious. Watch it.

    Am I the only one who doesn't want this? Probably not, but then I realized this is a great path forward for paraplegic and missing limb patients. I simply hope that advertisers don't weasle their way in. WATCH THESE NEW ADS TO ACTIVATE YOUR PROTHESIS, THE 6TH WILL SURPRISE YOU!

  12. Huzzah! on Amazon Will Be Off All Oracle Databases By End of 2019, Says AWS Chief · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I didn't want to read the article, so I didn't. Luckily, the summary mentioned "DynamoDB" and "Amazon Aurora". Now would be a good time to learn a bit about them, add it to the resume, and grit the teeth for the inevitable: headhunter spam. Don't worry, folks. I'm still a die hard MariaDB and PostgreSQL fan. However, I don't see a reason not to look on the other side of the fence for a sec... either way, take some time to do a victory dance that Oracle got a kick to the groin.

  13. Re: Good job web browsers! on Half of all Phishing Sites Now Have the Padlock (krebsonsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    At least any hacked pages can now securely send their information back to the black hat. Silver linings, and all... ;-)

  14. Grab some popcorn. A troll should along shortly to talk about how this some SJW outreach to women, or maybe a conspiracy nut. Who knows? Let's watch!

  15. Re: Uh... Wrong Problem IBM on IBM: Chip Making is Hitting Its Limits, But Our Techniques Could Solve That (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    My guess is that they want to start drastically increasing the number of layers, without shrinking the gates or anything. Imagine a CPU cube that's made of 1000+ layers. EPE then becomes way more important than gate leakage.

  17. Glad to see they were brave enough to include a headphone jack. Good for them for taking that risk.

  18. Worry not on Most ATMs Can Be Hacked in Under 20 Minutes (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    20 minutes to hack an ATM seems pretty crazy, right? Don't worry, I have a solution.

    Let's start an ATM Thieves Guild. It's unacceptable that in today's busy world that it takes so long to commit crimes. We promise to make Moore's Law work for you, and get that time down to 10 minutes or less.

  19. I'm confused on 'The Internet Needs More Friction' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Is this an argument for returning to good old fashioned crime, breaking the internet, or both?

  20. I'm beginning to think PR isn't as malevolent as once assumed. If I frame him as a South Park caricature, he's rather benign.

  21. "Hair Furor"?! You're someone I'm likely to disagree with, yet... GODDAMMIT. You're entertaining. Thanks for the post, turdle wrinkle.

    It's infecting everything. I was looking up Doctrine API info the other day when I noticed a dark twist in examples. The two recent ones have gender selection and blacklists as examples. All the ones before were relatively chilled out normal cat/dog/whatever examples.

    No. You must suffer like the rest of us.

  25. I've spent years working on a robot that can find a black cat in a pitch black room, and then annoy the piss out of them. Instead of all that work, I can just use my phone now. Progress! (p.s. The project is called CATPOO - cat antagonizing tactical platform of oppression)
