  1. No sh*t on GPS Always Overestimates Distances (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 1

    "the expected measured length squared between two points is bigger than the true length squared unless the errors at both points are identical." WTF are they squaring the points' positions?

  2. People that sleep less stay stone age. on Maybe You Don't Need 8 Hours of Sleep After All (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    This should be the obvious and logical take-away from this.

  3. Newest Study: on Study: Women Less Likely To Be Shown Ads For High-paid Jobs On Google · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Women Less Likely To Be Shown Ads For Shitty Jobs On Google
    In an obvious policy of sexism, female's browsers were less likely to be sent openings or training for plumbing, roofing and landscape services.

    No explanation was given by press time.

  4. C++, cross-platform on what planet? on Ask Slashdot: Is C++ the Right Tool For This Project? · · Score: 1

    Qt is cross platform, but non of the "granular memory stuff" will be. C++: write once, compile everywhere, with conditions Java: write once, debug everywhere Python (w/ Qt or wx): write it and get on with life

  5. Slashdotted, or taken down? on LinkedIn Used To Create Database of 27,000 US Intelligence Personnel · · Score: 1

    https://transparencytoolkit.or...

    We're sorry, but something went wrong.
    If you are the application owner check the logs for more information.

  6. Tongans & Samoans on Did Natural Selection Make the Dutch the Tallest People On the Planet? · · Score: 1

    In their warrior-ruled society they grew steadily larger on an essentially fixed island diet. The longest arms with the biggest club ruled. The recent king of Tonga was ~6'4". But also, in WW1 a doctor noticed the marked height difference in Aussies and Brits, both from the same region of Britain 50 years before. The Aussies' diet was the factor there.

  7. Re:In related news... on A Year On, What Flight Simulators Can't Prove About Flight MH370 · · Score: 1

    The official narrative is the conspiracy theory.
    When as in 1) the promoters of said narrative/theory proffer only the weak Government explanation that Cessena flight-school drop-outs with utility knives overcame a large, retired Marine pilot and performed flight maneuvers that a majority of type-certified pilots could not.

    Defenders of the Narrative fall squarely in 1) as well, but by willful ignorance.

  8. Why not use software radio and build your own? There must be enough cellular programmers out there to do the handshaking. I only wrote planning code, which only says Where to put a tower...

  9. patent applies to sale, distribution of product on Wired On 3-D Printers As Fraud Enablers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You can make whatever you want, for yourself.

  10. Re:Mushrooms (may work with other drugs) on Human Eye's Oscillation Rate Determines Smooth Frame Rate · · Score: 1

    Likely, since the eye always moves in saccades, on drugs or not. Smoothness is a brain process task, Ramachandran had a stroke patient who lost the smooth-stitch function - cars jump yards at a time, coffee pours uncontrollably etc.

  11. San Diego on Seattle Police Held Hackathon To Redact Footage From Body Cameras · · Score: 1

    Police Chief: "Videos are for evidence, not transparency"

  12. Tor was attacked Nov 4 on Tor Network May Be Attacked, Says Project Leader · · Score: 1

    Major takedown of sites by *** agencies - they did traffic analysis attack and hacked poorly set up Tor servers, if I recall.

  13. So I can "swap" one out in 3 minutes? on Tesla About To Start Battery-Swap Pilot Program · · Score: 1

    Sounds like I can have a Telsa battery for myself with a jack and a screwgun...

  14. laser player on Vinyl Record Pressing Plants Struggle To Keep Up With Demand · · Score: 1
  15. the first casualty of war on Satellite Images Show Russians Shelling Ukraine · · Score: 1

    http://www.globalresearch.ca/d...
    It could still be a missile; witnesses weren't specific. And that it was the only instance of it diverted to that northerly flight plan is just a tad suspicious.

    My Photoshop skills are easily up to whatever images either sides' propaganda arm produces. Give me eyewitnesses.

    BTW, yes I can spot a Boeing at FL33, with a $10 pair of binocs I could tell a 737 from a 767.
