  1. Re:Step 1: Integrate with existing payment technol on Coinbase Issues Bitcoin-Based Debit Card (coinbase.com) · · Score: 1

    Why does VISA care? All of the bitcoin stuff is handled on Coinbase's side, only USD touches the credit/debit side of things.

  3. Re:PETA is worthless on Animal Rights Group Targets NIH Director's Home (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 0

    The reason PETA kills so many animals is so that no-kill shelters can remain no kill. If PETA didn't take these animals, there wouldn't be a single no-kill shelter left because of the sheer numbers of abandoned animals.

    So they're re-inventing Python?

  5. Re:The movie's not out yet and I'm already tired on Star Wars Battlefront Released (giantbomb.com) · · Score: 2

    It won because it was a good movie, not because it was a good Star Trek movie.

  10. Re:What? on How Rocket League Brought Psyonix Back From the Brink (redbull.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh, that makes a lot more sense.

  11. now the studio has to fend off offers from movie studios who want to feature their iconic cars in the game.

    iconic? They're like Twisted Metal-esque penny racers, there's nothing iconic about them.

  12. Ignored after the first sentence on Symbolic vs. Mnemonic Relational Operators: Is "GT" Greater Than ">"? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They unfortunately used perl as an example. While yes Perl does have both gt and > one is a string comparison and the other is a numerical comparison.

  13. Re:No on Can the Cloud Be More Secure Than Your Own Servers? (Video) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Amazon's data center. Since they have more security experts and IT people there's more points of failure.

  14. Re:Pot, Kettle, Black on Virginia Radio Station Broadcasting Chinese Propaganda (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    How is this any different than the broadcasts that Voice of America does all over the world?

    You're still missing the point. But I'm not surprised.

    Yes, but it still completely proves the point that it's not whether or not you are ashamed, but what society as a whole things of the subject. Saying "Just dont care what others think" isn't a solution.

  18. Re:Simple counter-measure on The Rise of Political Doxing (schneier.com) · · Score: 1

    Stop trying to use logic against this person. They live in some magical fantasy land where nobody is ever persecuted for things they have no personal issue against.

  19. Re:Simple counter-measure on The Rise of Political Doxing (schneier.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually, no. As long as you don't care, then you're also not going to care if someone else is getting bent out of something.

    Good thing no teachers have ever been fired due to things they've done in their private lives that have no affect on their teaching. Oh wait.

  20. Re:Simple counter-measure on The Rise of Political Doxing (schneier.com) · · Score: 1

    don't be ashamed of anything you do. Kind of hard to exert pressure on someone by revealing their personal stuff if they don't give a sh*t.

    That only works up to the point that it's something that nobody cares about either.

  21. Hahahahahahah on The Rise of Political Doxing (schneier.com) · · Score: 1

    Because doxing has never been using against people that haven't done anything but mind their own business. Right?

  23. It's been 24 hours since the last Tesla story!
