  1. This is why I just use paper plates.

  2. Re:Queue the bitter "Bitcoin is a bubble/scam" pos on Bitcoin Prices Surge 26% in November, Pass $8000 (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    In a few weeks they can short it when CME launches Bitcoin futures.

  3. Re:So, people think the check means on Twitter Bans, Removes Verified Status of White Supremacists (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    So Twitter endorses therealDonaldTrump?

  4. That -679K comment has 83 golds on it. Why are people gilding it if they're downvoting it so much?

  5. Job security on The Booming Japanese Rent-a-Friend Business (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    He's got a job for life.

  6. Re:It's too late now on Nearly a Third of Millennials Say They'd Rather Own Bitcoin Than Stocks (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    There will surely be a huge drop, maybe 50% or more, once the CME approves Bitcoin futures later this or next month. All the sheep will be jumping in at that point, and the rug will get pulled out from under them.

  7. Memory usage got really bad in a recent release. Previously I'd have 10 windows open with around 100 tabs total, and that took up about 2 GB of RAM. For the last few weeks though, those same 10 windows/100 tabs causes Firefox to get up to 6 GB memory usage.

  8. And their stock went up 20%? on Twitter Says It Overstated Monthly-User Figures For 3 Years (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    The reason their stock's been crashing the last couple years is because of poor user numbers. Now they state that even those poor numbers were overstated, and the stock soars? Makes total sense.

  9. Software Restriction Policies is not a new feature on Windows 10's 'Controlled Folder Access' Anti-Ransomware Feature Is Now Live (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Windows has had the Software Restriction Policies feature for a while now that let you control what executables can run.

  10. Re:AI will be alien on The AI That Has Nothing to Learn From Humans (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    That's what happened with those Facebook AI bots - they developed their own language that was incomprehensible to Facebook engineers.

  11. Re:works offline? on How Google's Pixel 2 'Now Playing' Song Identification Works (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you honestly think that something which amounts to a checksum takes very much space? Probably a few bytes per song.

    But you would need a ton of checksums per song, since they're only capturing what - 10 seconds of each song. You'd need a checksum for every possible 10 second window of every song.

  12. Re:Triggered? on Google Maps Ditches Walking Calorie Counter After Backlash (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Nobody will be able to do anything then, since something will always trigger somebody in some way.

  13. What's with all the hypersensitive people the past few years? Do they get "triggered" when they see calorie counts on restaurant menus or nutrition labels?

  14. Re:Does turning off the device work? on iOS 11's Misleading 'Off-ish' Setting For Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is Bad for User Security (eff.org) · · Score: 1

    That link only explained WHAT it does, which TFA already did, so the link was worthless. It did not explain WHY it is doing what it does.

  15. Re:Because technology is not a science on Why Is There No Nobel Prize In Technology? (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Because technology is not a science

    Neither are literature, peace, or economics.

  16. Re:Technology? on Why Is There No Nobel Prize In Technology? (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Technology is not a category in the same sense physics, chemistry, and physiology are.

    And literature, peace, and economics are?

  17. Re:Does turning off the device work? on iOS 11's Misleading 'Off-ish' Setting For Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is Bad for User Security (eff.org) · · Score: 2

    And Apple has an (IMHO quite reasonable) explanation as to why that is the case:

    http://www.idownloadblog.com/2...

    That link does NOT provide any explanation about why I'd still want to use those specific features after disabling Wi-Fi, nor does it explain what constitutes a "new location" or what's so special about 5 am.

  18. You can do the same with a Facebook list on Why RSS Still Beats Facebook and Twitter for Tracking News (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    What the summary said is true for the default Facebook news feed, but not for a Facebook list. You can add pages that you're subscribed to onto a Facebook list, and when you look at the list, it will show all posts from all of those pages in chronological order. Just keep scrolling down, and you'll see all the older posts from those pages.

  19. Re:And who cares? on The Solar Eclipse of 2017 Destroyed Lots of Rental Camera Gear (petapixel.com) · · Score: 2

    I guess you never travel at all, since you can just see photos of other cities/countries online.

  20. The AAS says as long as your glasses are certified ISO 12312-2 (adopted in 2015), you can wear them indefinitely (that's a lot longer than 3 minutes at a time):

    You can wear welding masks as long as they are shade 14:

  21. Where will they spend their money? Their Amazon accounts will be banned.

    Not just new here, new to the internet.

  24. Re:Officially Freaked Out on How the NSA Identified Satoshi Nakamoto (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    From now on, I will have a program replace every one of my words with a synonym before posting.

  25. The shorter the review... on People Are Complete Suckers For Online Reviews (nypost.com) · · Score: 1

    Most fake reviews seem to be just 1-2 liners.
