  1. Shift Card on Here's Why People Don't Buy Things With Bitcoin (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I use my shift card all the time. Its issued by visa and comes out of my Coinbase account.

  2. And the Jobs . . . on Trump Says Apple's Tim Cook Has Promised Him He'd Build Three US Factories: 'Big, Big, Big' (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    Will all be filled by H1B Visa holders.

  3. Trust on US House Committee Approves Anti-GMO Labeling Law · · Score: 2

    The problem, it seems to me, is not that the GMO's are safe or unsafe. It's that any trust authority has been completely destroyed by money. The FDA/EPA/USDA are funded by Congress and Congress appears to be corrupt. So anything that branches off of them appears to be corrupt. How are we supposed to believe anything from any of these people with such an appearance of corruption. It's a big money game and sometimes the money coincides with the larger public interest but more often it seems not to. So I believe in what I saw my 80 year old mother eat, who does not have diabetes, does not have heart disease, is not and never has been overweight and still has all her marbles. She ate real food that generations of people ate before her that didn't skip steps or have spider genes inserted in it. She might have accidentally eaten a spider and then ate some corn, but she never ate spidercorn.

  4. Plus one for Dog (doug) on Ask Slashdot: Anti-Theft Products For the Over-Equipped Household? · · Score: 1

    I'm going to second the dog idea. Sure, someone determined to steal your stuff might bring a steak, but most crimes are opportunistic. If a dog starts barking before they even enter the place, why bother. In Atlanta I remember reading thieves were chopping through the sides of homes rather than using the windows in order to avoid the sensors and motion alarms. Good luck combating that. And a dog will probably bring some perspective into your life, make you care a little less about all that stuff.

  5. Kevin Bacon Game on NSA Confirms It Has Been Searching US Citizens' Data Without a Warrant · · Score: 1

    HAHAHAHA!! The 6 degrees of separation. By this logic they can spy on the entire world because everyone knows someone who knows someone who kinda knows someone who . . .
