  1. And the punishement will be? on GCHQ Spy Agency Given Illegal Access To Citizens' Data (ft.com) · · Score: 1

    These kinds of rulings go nowhere, or some token punishment that doesn't matter is given out followed by the agency doing the exact same thing only a new law or slight adjustment makes it "legal".

  2. Re:Dust? Dirt? on Some Scientists Work With China, But NASA Won't (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    I think it's enclosed when installed.

  3. People are often afraid to make their own decisions. I'm not surprised by this though considering how often banks rely on a computer program to approve or deny each of their products. People make almost zero decisions at many levels.

  4. Re: Akin to a warrant... on Judge Jails Defendent For Failing To Unlock Phones (fox13news.com) · · Score: 2

    Watch LivePD, they do it all the time. Dog walked around the car, barely showing interest. Cop forces dog to try harder, dog acts the same way as before. "Yea the dog signaled pretty hard back there, we're going to go ahead and search." Liars.

  5. Re:"misdemeanor amount of marijuana" yielded this? on Judge Jails Defendent For Failing To Unlock Phones (fox13news.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you massively increase prison sentences you just disincentives criminals from going to the extreme. Why not kill everyone in the house, you're already going to jail until you die for the burglary and rape?

    It's more like giving the combination to a lock.

  7. Re:"manufacturers end up wasting 80 percent" on Lockheed Martin Creates Its Largest 3D-Printed Space Part To Date (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    They'll probably just crash them into Australia or the Sahara at a controlled speed, then mine them from there.

  8. You click "No" and then the features don't work :)

  9. Re:Secret bills passed on Passengers Who Call Uber Instead Of An Ambulance Put Drivers At Risk (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    You learn from the opposition, then do the same, then do it more.

    Fucking Eisenhower, led us into the MIC and didn't have the strength to stop them.

  11. Re:Poor Urban Planning on Studies Are Increasingly Clear: Uber, Lyft Congest Cities (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Why can't the city get more revenue from other sources? Where does their money go now that they can only finance things through additional one time revenues?

  12. It was two sides against one on Senator Warns YouTube Algorithm May Be Open To Manipulation By 'Bad Actors' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Bernie supporters and Trump/GOP supporters were pushing Hillary is bad videos, watching them, sharing them, commenting on them. So of course more anti-Hillary videos came up.

  13. Re:I love where I live on Seattle Finds Facebook in Violation of City Campaign Finance Law (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    You do realize that a lot of people get upset at ebay sellers like with the nintendo classic and online people definitely called it extortion.

  14. I remember, they had commercials at the airport, or at least used to. Cartoony looking talking about little planes fucking shit up and not paying the same amount.

  16. WTF does that mean? on YouTube Warns of 'Consequences' For Creators Who Misbehave (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    "that reflects unfavorably on other YouTube creators." Is that flame wars or something?

  17. Re:Bubble Economics. on Bitcoin Plummets Below $8,000 For First Time Since November (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    There really isn't a loss. The loss from mortgages were the bankruptcies and "money" literally vanished. Here the wealth was transferred. People selling or the exchanges have that money.

  18. Re:Forgettting the other problems? on Mazda Says Its Next-Gen Gasoline Engine Will Run Cleaner Than An Electric Car (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 1

    Isn't this where molten salt reactors come in? No material left over, no meltdowns, small.

  20. Re:"If tethers are not backed by a matching number on Why Tether's Collapse Would Be Bad For Cryptocurrencies (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    No, you're confusing the money multiplier concept with fractional reserve. Large banks need to keep 10% of the value of money they loan out. So $100 becomes $90 loanable. But the loan is then deposited in lets say another bank or the same, then they can loan out $81 of the $90. As you do this you increase the money supply because every loan means more deposits so we're at $190, this continues until hundreds of dollars are created in loans with with slightly more deposited. You don't get to loan out 10X more money than you have received. You can loan out 90% (or more for smaller banks) than you have in deposits.

    I heard tech companies black ball people from each other's companies. Pretty sure on /.

    That's so it wouldn't piss of the locals. A responsible American means we can keep more bases there!

  25. What's a floppy disk? What's a CRT? I know I barely use my home desktop, so it's not hard seeing a family in the near future not having one.
