  1. Re: answer: no on Is Blockchain the Most Important IT Invention of Our Age? (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wong, but isn't there still a certain admin type power that lets it make changes to how the chain functions? Dont they do patches from time to time? Wasn't oneven critical for some timing function between nodes?

  2. Re: Jarvis or Siri? on Zuckerberg To Build Personal AI For Help At Home and Work (facebook.com) · · Score: 1

    It's simple, we just power the spaceship with Facebook likes! Just like how we cured cancer.

  3. Re: Awwww thats so cute on Yahoo Denies Ad-blocking Users Access To Email (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    DOZENS will be affected. DOZENS!

  4. STOP TALKING on Volkswagen Seeks To Repair Its Image By Focusing On Electric (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    My goodness VW. You got caught cheating, mad people are still mad... now just stop talking for a while. Nothing you say is going to be seen positively in the near future.

  5. Re:Drunks don't make the best decisions on Live-Streaming Florida Woman Charged With Drunken Driving · · Score: 1

    The time delay is not accurate. If you delay and refuse and it takes two hours before you get blood drawn they can extrapolate back, plus, if you ate food and/or didn't stop drinking until a short while before you drove your BAC could rise significantly in that period of time. The only thing you're going to get out of having blood drawn is that they probably won't keep you in jail that night.

    The BAC level is garbage. At least around here you can get something similar for any level of alcohol in your system, but they talk about that much. Honestly, if you're going to make the BAC so low that 2 drinks can get you, just go zero tolerance. Ohh but wait, then people might not drink and drive... It's really silly to think that someone is going to make increasingly responsible decisions on a drug that makes it harder to make good decisions. It's a whole lot easier to say, "I can't drink, I'm driving." than, "This is my last one." after a couple.

  7. Good move on Playboy Drops Nudity As Internet Fills Demand · · Score: 1

    It will open up a lot of new distribution channels for them. You'll see them up front in airports and reputable gas stations and the like. The brand is the main thing that will separate it from GQ type magazines, but you won't be a pervert for picking one up for the plane ride.

  8. How Law Enforcement will ruin this on Why Self-Driving Cars Should Never Be Fully Autonomous (roboticstrends.com) · · Score: 2

    With any of this, there needs to be an absolutely manual override. Software can get hacked or just freak out, and the passenger needs to always have the option to take control of the vehicle, especially on a large scale, like a major bug or hack. I don't see a world where law enforcement isn't going to want a backdoor that shuts down the vehicle or runs some program to pull it over or even drive it to a certain place. This hat is itchy...

  9. Re:Taxes? on First Legal Union of Illegal Street Vendors Created In Barcelona · · Score: 1

    It's kind of amusing that I could see a libertarian making this exact same argument against these vendors.

    That's how you know it's working.

  12. Re:Isn't this a no brainer? on German Publisher Axel Springer Bans Adblocking Users From Bild Website (axelspringer.de) · · Score: 1

    I ad to disable ads on sd because once in a while they were quite loud. You can't have sidebar ads that scream at you randomly.

  13. Re:Sanders is Slummin for votes... on Bernie Sanders Comes Out Against CISA · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see anywhere that's being quoted as saying he is the only one, or the first one, and I doubt he wrote the article.

  14. It runs on Pepsi on The Pepsi P1 Smartphone Takes Consumer Lock-In Beyond the App (thestack.com) · · Score: 2

    Notice, no battery specs! Why? Because it runs on Pepsi! Requires 10oz for a recharge that lasts about 4 hours.

  15. I was really thinking Christie was your boy. They've been setting him up for a run for a really long time now. He pretty much got hillary'd with some of his BS though.

  16. Re:They want us to make it easier for them? on New UK Security Guidelines: Password Re-Use OK, Frequent Changing a Waste · · Score: 1

    Why limit at 12? Why not let people use full sentences, also compatible with symbols and case sensitive?

  17. Re: Who cares? on John McAfee On Why He's Running For President · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I'd like to see a focus on standard of living with some metrics. More McJobs doesn't translate to better living. We make entirely too much money as a country to have so many people in poverty or barely getting by.

  18. Utopia on Do Tech Firms Really Want Liberal Arts Majors? · · Score: 1

    If you need a plumber, you hire a plumber. If liberal arts majors are such savants at everything, why don't they go build a utopia and spend their free time jerking each other off? Sorry doc, I checked your cv and it your liberal arts are weak. Do you maybe have a nurse on staff versed in dead middle eastern languages... otherwise I'll have to take my cancer elsewhere.

    Microsoft sure is getting a lot of hate for what Google has been doing for years.

  21. Re:Blind test. on Massachusetts Boarding School Sued Over Wi-Fi Sickness · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Just shut off the SSID broadcast and watch the kid heal before your eyes.

  22. Yeah, but No. on Mostly Theater? Taking Aim At White House 'We the People' Petitions · · Score: 1

    I remember how excited people were when this came out. Then those first couple of petitions went through and the response from the government was reliably more or less "Oh, we understand that you want that, and it sure does sounds neat, but we're not going to do that. Really though, super appreciate the input! TTFN!"

  23. Re:So what? on Swatch Trademarks "One More Thing..." · · Score: 2

    No. Other companies just can't use it as their tagline - sometimes even more restrictive than that - other companies in that field cannot use this as a tagline.

  24. Re:Very sad - but let's get legislation in place N on Ashley Madison Hack Claims First Victims · · Score: 1

    We've got enough people in prison. Just make it so that if there is evidence of horrible security that the affected users have a simple recourse. Have some tiered system set up ahead of time that says what compensation you are entitled to for various breaches. Once you have that massive liability insurance firms are going to get involved and most likely require their own security presence.

  25. Re:Passengers love it? Really? on The Boeing 747 Is Heading For Retirement · · Score: 1

    I like noisy planes. Put me right next to the engine please. It drowns out all of other non-constant noises - like children screaming and people talking too loud.
