  1. Pretty easy to pull off on Facebook Tops List of Best Places To Work -- Again (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    If you enjoy a marketplace monopoly. Eventually the winds of fate will change and FB will face real market realities.

  2. It is truly a mystery as to how some people think they can take a product, which should only be consumed by adults, and attempt to reconstitute it into a form which is acceptable to be consumed by children.

    Hey Facebook, they are kids, leave them alone!

  3. Let's Clutter Up Another Planet on SpaceX Plans To Blast a Tesla Roadster Into Orbit Around Mars (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It's bad enough that we got NASA's junk now littering the Martian landscape, but now we have private individuals throwing junk cars up there.

    You should be. The possibility of the ultimate loss of all privacy to the government should be scaring the bee-jeep-ers out of everyone!

    Is there any limit to the desire of man to clutter the landscape of other lands....

  6. Flawed Shuttle Bus on Self-Driving Shuttle Involved In Crash Two Hours After Debut (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    > "The shuttle did what it was supposed to do, in that it's (sic) sensors registered the truck and the shuttle stopped to avoid the accident,"

    Assuming the "goal" with driverless cars is to have a vehicle that can respond as a human might. To avoid the inevitable issues.

    This bus failed miserably on two accounts.

    First, if it were programmed more human like it would have blown its horn to warn the big rig. Failure #1.

    Secondly, if it were programmed more human like it would have backed up to avoid the big rig. Failure #2.

  7. Re:awesome - avoiding regulation as a power grab on Facebook Ends 'Dark Posts' -- All Ads Will Be Visible To The Public (seattletimes.com) · · Score: 0

    The hypocrisy is the troubling element for me. So a political advertiser, basically someone who wants to espouse a position, must show his papers while it is a crime against humanity for a person who actually casts a vote to be required to show papers?

  8. Re:how else would they know my back hurts? [targ a on Facebook Exec: 'Just Not True' That We Listen To Your Phone's Mic (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    I have literally said "my Father-in-law drives a mercedes" and then found a mercedes advert on my FB feed the next refresh. NOTHING else like you described. Turned off their app access to microphone and that crap disappeared.

  9. An absolute crock of steaming piled high bullshit! I've personally had their damn apps spy on me.

  13. So let me get this straight on Body Camera Study Shows No Effect On Police Use of Force Or Citizen Complaints (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    The researchers could not detect any change in police behavior with or without body cameras.

    So the explanation is "Those police officers were straightened out by the Feds earlier...."

    Then why the hell did you study that department?

    which will necessitate airport levels of security.

    29 minutes huh? So does that mean passengers get 10 minutes to board/deboard this thing????? It's gonna have to be quickly loaded. Leaving 9 minutes of travel time?

    What if a hyperpod can't leave on time? Are the margins of error such that it can be squeezed in prior to the next hyperpod? Or will that hyperpod need to be retired and the passengers put on another hyperpod. What does that do to scheduling passengers?

    And how are passengers going to react to the acceleration/deceleration necessary to achieve a 9 minute travel time? To keep the math simple assuming a 226 mile distance between Washington and NYC at 226 MPH it would take one hour to get there. At 452 MPH it would take 30 minutes to get there. .... A non-changing speed of 1506 MPH will cover the distance in 9 minutes.

    Based on the above limits I'm just not sure this thing has really been thought through.

    Tell me oh /. Masters of the Universe where I am wrong?

    You are the idiot!

    Gold is KING because it can be traded by men to gain the favor of women. Pure and simple. Gold is king because ultimately it means men get the opportunity to reproduce.

    Trust me, if all the women are starving due to an apocalypse you can damn well bet they will look more favorably upon a man with gold coins than a useless IPhone.

  20. Admittedly I know practically zero about batteries. But I've used A123 batteries in my RC aircraft and they performed really well while having fairly short recharge times while doing that task safely (as opposed to LiPo batteries where you need a fire resistant bag for charging).

    How would this Toshiba tech compare to an A123 battery?

  21. Skype is completely unuseable now. Whatsapp requires you have your phone on to access the PC app which is not acceptable.

    Trying one at a time. If you could save me a moment of time what would be your recommended app?

    I just signed up for an account on AIM last night. I need a messenger program on the PC to chat with my woman in private. Microsoft has messed Skype up so badly it is now practically unusable.

    Oh well, any recommendations? Something off the beaten trail but can do chat and send photographs? Maybe a few emojis tossed in as well.

    > I'll once again point out that no one has never been able to conclude that Facebook advertising even works at all

    I don't give a rats ass what P&G says. I burned through $1k in FB ads last year and I averaged one page "Like" for every $0.06 I spent.

    Facebook even congratulated me and noted my ad performed in the top 92% of all ads on FB during that time.

    I created a good advertisement that interested people in a good product. P&G got nothing for their money because they have a BORING product.
