  1. Re:Common tool in the online dating industry on New Facial Recognition Tool, Designed For Research Purposes, Tracks Targets Across Different Social Networks (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I thought match.com owned most of the sites.

  2. If TSLA really is the most shorted stock in history, all he needs to do is execute his business plan. Then there would be the biggest short squeeze in history, as all the shorts are wrong and panic, buying to cover their shorts and driving the stock price even higher. That would easily result in TSLA going over $1000 per share.

  3. So they're not including spectators? on NEC Unveils Facial Recognition System For 2020 Tokyo Olympics (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Or are they?

  4. Apple says... on The Touch Bar Could Replace the Keyboard on Future Macbooks (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    "What's a computer?"

  5. Re:Encourages break-ins by police on New Alexa Skill Plays Fake Stupid Arguments To Scare Off Burglars (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1
    > cite the homeowner for wasting police time

    Has this happened to any of those white people who've been trolling black people by calling 911 on them?

  6. Typical "buy high, sell low" mentality on Corporate America Cools On Blockchain. Gartner Sees 'Disconnect Between Hype and Reality' (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    They were all jumping on the blockchain bandwagon when Bitcoin was approaching $20,000 last year, now that it's dropped over 50%, they don't want anything to do with it.

  7. Re:No thanks. on Easier Streaming Services Put Dent in Illegal Downloading (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    There are sites selling MP3s for about 10 cents and FLAC files for about 30 cents. Not sure about the legality though.

  8. Rename SF to Frisco on As Google Maps Renames Neighborhoods, Residents Fume (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    They should rename SF to Frisco.

  9. So probably will have very little effect.

  10. Re:Excuse my Schadenfreude on Zuckerberg 'Sold More Stock Than Usual', Faces Lawsuit From Angry Investors (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    You're right that's not how options work. But according to the linked article, they quote the guy and he said he put about 40% of his account into those options, so he didn't lose everything.

  11. Re:How about not blowing away work? on Windows 10 To Use Machine Learning in Latest Attempt To Make Reboots Less Annoying (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Microsoft really needs to have state automatically saved on a reboot for all core OS programs, the same way that Mac does. So if you have Notepad open, it will reopen with all previous text on a reboot.

  12. Hope Outlook 2019 is better than 2016 on Microsoft Says Price Increases Coming For Office 2019 and Windows 10 Enterprise Users (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    On a 4 year old laptop running Outlook 2013, searching for messages was done in a reasonable amount of time. Now on a new laptop with Outlook 2016, searches are extremely slow.

  13. I've never used Slack, but it CANNOT be anywhere near as bad as HipChat. 50% of messages people try to send will turn gray and show the progress indicator, meaning there's another 50% chance it will end up saying "Failed" with option to Retry or Cancel. Sometimes I end up seeing the same message 4 times in a row from a coworker, because it showed "Failed" on their end when it really didn't fail.

  14. Same thing happened with 2011 MBP on Apple's T2 Chip May Be Causing Issues In iMac Pro, 2018 MacBook Pros (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    The GPU overheated, and their logic board replacement program used logic boards that had the same problem, so eventually the replacements would have damaged GPUs too.

  15. Re:Now that smartphones have become ... on Nikon Announces Development of Full Frame Mirrorless Camera (petapixel.com) · · Score: 1

    I use my iPhone all the time for daytime photography, but it is out of the question for astrophotography and zooming.

  16. Re:The whole point of "prime day" on How Amazon Scrambled To Fix Prime Day Glitches (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Their test ended up being an advertisement for Azure.

  17. Re:A reality TV star on Is Python the Future of Programming? (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    The author has balls to risk his credibility by admitting he knows who Kim Kardashian is.

  18. Re:How do you lose money if you're eBay? on eBay Is Conducting a 'Mass Layoff' In the Bay Area (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1

    If I want something cheap, a lot of times eBay will have it with free shipping, so that I don't have to try to find other items at Amazon to qualify for the $25 free shipping.

  19. has spoken

  20. Maybe better there than on servers NSA can access?

  21. If Apple encrypted the data on Apple iCloud Data in China is Being Stored By a State-Run Telco (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    They just replaced the logic boards with the exact same logic board that would experience the problem again.

  24. Re:Should require a warrant on Microsoft Calls on Congress To Regulate Face Recognition (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Won't require a warrant after Kavanaugh is confirmed.

  25. Re:Surprise! on The First Real Boom in Virtual Reality? It's Pornography. (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Not really. DVDs have a "multi angle" feature that was just begging to be used by porn, but AFAIK, nobody used that feature, not even porn. If any feature was meant for porn, that was it.
