  1. why they still use spinning drives?

  2. ....they forgot one thing on A Florida Man Has been Accused of Making 97 Million Robocalls (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    his phone numbers should remain public for every one to call him with congratulations on winning a vaction or whatever crap he sells.

  3. Hospital is a middle man on Amazon Shelves Plan To Sell Prescription Drugs (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hospital is a middle man - they get markup on what they sell. They have no incentive to lower that cost. Your health insurance and you in the end pay for it!

  4. can't blame Amazon for everything on Trump Orders Audit of Postal Service After Suggesting Amazon Is To Blame For Their Troubles (politico.com) · · Score: 1

    either you blame them for destroying brick and mortar stores or for destroing USPS - it can't be both. It it is both USPS in modern e-commerce model is doing something really inefficient.

  5. Re:Waste of money, invasion of privacy on Dubai To Launch Digital Vehicle Number Plates (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    pseudo anonymous cash payment? do you mean all the cameras pointed at you when you get to tool booth?

  6. So president he is smart when he avoids paying taxes and declares bankruptcy to get out of obligations, but when corporation does it - it is so very bad !?

  7. edge design issues? on Some Galaxy S9/S9+ Units Have Large Dead Zones On the Touchscreen (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 1

    If device detects a touch on the edge it will jump to edge then go back to middle of the screen where your finger is. So question is: are you holding it right?

  8. True but you forget about fast fasion crap everywere - even in the music. Everyone listens to a single song 500 times then they move to next "hit".

  9. Re:Shouldn't have happened: on Human Driver Could Have Avoided Fatal Uber Crash, Experts Say (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I wonder if they removed LIDAR after Waymo lawsuit?

  10. Re:I probably would have hit her on Human Driver Could Have Avoided Fatal Uber Crash, Experts Say (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Most people would react differently - they would either slow down to adjust to driving conditions or use high beam lights. Note that person behind the weel was checking something on dashboard? phone? - she unfortunatelly wasn't paying attention. Regarding car - they did very bad job. Car should have recognized person (LIDAR, infrared, radar, ultrasound, etc.); it looks like it uses only camera video to make decisions. Doesn't look like breaks got applied. I have seen way better non autonomous cars that react to wildlife (not to mention people).

  11. do I need ad block to watch it? on YouTube To Follow Amazon By Screening Its Movies Inside Theaters (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    will it have random popups during the movie with ads?

    Please check you sources and facts and do not equal a prisoner-of-war camp to death camp.

    KL Warchau (right inside the capital) operated until 1956

    1948-49 operated as a camp for German soldiers not a death camp - substantial difference. Majority of them were released in fall 1949. After 1949 it was converted to prison.

    Bereza Kartuska

    I agree that these should not have happened. But you are making equal a political camp where there were up to 20 deaths with Auschwitz where over 1 milion of people died! There were worse camps than you have mentioned. Again there is no justification for any sort of camp - but comparing work or prisoner-of-war camp to a death camp is low blow. Unfortunatelly camps were a more common occurence for most countries (everyone - pick your country from the list and read to learn more about your history): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    soviet-imposed regime

    - between 1981-83 there was a Martial law in Poland b/c people rebelled against Soviet Union. Many people died fighting communism and Soviet Union. If not for people of Poland you would live in a world with a Berlin wall and USSR. Delegalization is a long process it is to be done peacefuly - there were a number of military and privilidge degratation for people serving under the regime. More to come but it is slow (too slow).

    Nazi or Soviet camps

    - my favourite part is that people use Nazi and Soviet terms as if Nazi and Soviets were some mythical nations/prople that no longer exists. These countries still exist and what happened is part their and unfortunatelly our history.

    Youtube, Amazon Prime, and Netflix send you content at the rate that it can be consumed by the device. If they sent you 1000Mbps upon opening video that you may drop after 10 seconds they would waste their resources and your data plan.
