    man, if you need a robot to walk your dog, you should rethink having one in the first place :)

  3. Re:Adopt the German Rules on Amazon Requires Non-Compete Agreements.. For Warehouse Workers · · Score: 1

    yeah should have specified that, the 50% is a bit onerous. Still though, the non-competes in the US stack the deck completely in the employers favor, and that's just simply wrong.

    how many minimum wage workers need to be completely fucked over while establishing the 'class'?

    that's racist. please use "native americium" going forward.

    The German rules make far more sense dude. In some instances a non-compete DOES make sense, and it should be an option.. but it shouldn't be used to handcuff someone to a company.

    Attaching a monetary cost for the company protects employees from abusive employers, and let's a company protect their inside information / processes for a bit.

    you watch too many movies. knocking someone out in reality is far, far more difficult. even with a sucker punch.

    Really perhaps they should have a divider between the two pilots, sort like every parent wishes they had on a car trip with the kids.

    OR for fucks sake, while this is a tragic disaster, events like this are so incredibly rare, that we should be cautious to avoid 9/11 style psychosis.

    because purveyors of consumer goods are known for having rapacious appetites for continual growth. And as the markets of the developed world get saturated with $product, they need ways to figure out how to target the developing world.

  11. Re:Advert for Razer? on What Makes the Perfect Gaming Mouse? · · Score: 1

    right, that's what i'm saying :)

    the problem with razer's software (As of last year, i had a nostromo, before moving to the g13) is that if you want a 2 or 3 button combination macro, such as: alt, shift , ~ (mmo's, hotbars, you get the point) you have to record yourself actually pressing those buttons, and then gin up the delay such that it's seamless in whatever game/app you're playing.

    Logitech allows you to specify exactly what buttons make up that macro. But if you want you can go the individual delay route.

    (Also again, razer's UX design seems to be "let's make it look like something someone high on Mountain Dew and Cheetos would find edge, who cares if it's usable"

  12. delayed common core! on NJ School District Hit With Ransomware-For-Bitcoins Scheme · · Score: 1

    I think they'd come out ahead if they nixed the testing, and used the savings to pay the ransom -- and in the intervening period actually teach the kids. As in teach, not teach to the test.

  13. Re:Advert for Razer? on What Makes the Perfect Gaming Mouse? · · Score: 1

    don't forget the software is utter and complete shit. (both in terms of functionality and UX)

    for example: logitech's software for macro's is infinitely better.
    razer = record the keypresses+delay
    logi = just specify the buttons.

    Having a duopoly is only *marginally* better than a monopoly.

  20. Re:Multiplayer focus on "Descent" Goes For a Crowdfunding Reboot (and a Linux Version) · · Score: 1

    Kali was one of the first online gaming platforms (It was an IPX emulator letting you play LAN based games over the internet). Before battle.net, before steam, Kali was there.

    I spent *a lot* of time on Kali playing Warcraft 2 in the late 90's. You know what game on Kali had the most players back then? And is *still*, in 2015 being played there? It's not Warcraft 2.

    If not for the multi-player element, the user base for Descent would not be anything now. Hell people still play Doom & Doom2 (multiplayer) and share WAD's -- it survived usenet. But certainly not due to the single player game.

    I think there's a positive correlation between intelligence and a lack of kindness/empathy (on an interpersonal level). It's easier to take advantage or abuse someone who you think is 'inferior'. (to say nothing of the increased opportunity to use said advantage)

    For the longest time i was in favor of nationalized healthcare; but now in the era of 'big data' (pardon the buzzword, my soul dies a little bit every time i say stuff like that) -- i'm not so sure.

    Do the pros (lower cost, fewer people without coverage) outweigh the cons? (data breaches, loss of privacy, potential for governmental abuse, and/or sticking their snouts where they don't belong)

    Seeing private companies suffer from lack of security, and the potential ramifications -- a government run 'insurance' setup would be a much larger target, and while it's cliche, due to bureaucratic incompetence might even have even more lax security standards =/
