    they support people who fight our soldiers

  2. Re:Dig Jobs up. on Apple's Stumbling HomePod Isn't the Hot Seller It Wanted (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    That's the problem. It's a Jobs type product. It's expensive and it only works with Apple services.

    It's one thing 18 years ago when digital music was still starting out, totally different today.

    It probably does sound better than Alexa but you can't play spotify or anything else on it

  3. addiction to media in general on The Personality Traits That Put You At Risk For Smartphone Addiction (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    if you pay attention to a lot of media from sports news to youtube personalities like casey neistat to pulp like BGR or Ars Technica, they live on clickbait and making enemies for you or complaints how some product is bad or some coach needs to be fired.

    There are these thing called contracts and Valve makes you sign one before you can list games for sale on Steam and it will have all kinds of conditions you have to agree to

  10. Benefits is lost money on The Gig Economy Keeps Growing, But Worker Benefits Aren't (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're married then most of the time you only need one spouse to have the benefits. I get all of mine from my wife and the only thing I'm missing out on is life insurance and vision.

    Having a job with no benefits is a better financial decision compared to working as a W2 and not using any of the benefits

    go find a billion $$$ and start your own competitor

  12. So what if you get data about me? on My Cow Game Extracted Your Facebook Data (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I own property in NYC and it's already public record where I live and what I own. So you combine with other data and find out that I surf porn. Big deal, pornhub is huge because millions of other people do so as well.

    WTF are you going to do with the data? sell it? Everyone else already has this too.

  13. They are anything but realistic. Go check the war videos out on Youtube. Most times it's people firing at someone they can't see cause they are hidden and too far away and you have to call for fire support to smoke them out.

    No one ever runs around shooting like in FPS games

  14. OMG, it might record you having sex

    nobody has sex you nasty dirty person you

  15. Re:Yes, it's called "professionalism" on 'They'll Squash You Like a Bug': How Silicon Valley Keeps a Lid on Leakers (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    I work for a financial company. We're not allowed to trade without getting permission and we have to specify the stock I'm buying. Company shares I can't buy except for special periods during the year, only with permission and I have to hold them a minimum of 6 months or something similar.

    My employer has access to my broker account and knows about any trade within a day or less so it's not like I can buy a stock and keep it secret. If I don't report a broker account, my employer will find out anyway because all the brokers report to the same system for this stuff.

  16. Don't $hit where you eat on 'They'll Squash You Like a Bug': How Silicon Valley Keeps a Lid on Leakers (theguardian.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Your employer is paying you for a service. Don't help the competition and screw up their business. Don't blab about your employer on social media or anywhere else.

    If you're too stupid to realize that, you'll have a hard time at life

    not going to class would be a big one

  21. and just watch a movie or tv show and if you don't like it, oh well. not a big deal

  22. NN is not a law but a regulation that the FCC wrote to enforce a law in their opinion of what it means. There are already taxes on TV and internet content so its not a 1st amendment violation either. Free speech is speech against the government.

  23. Re:So deploy to rural areas on Google Fiber Is a Faint Echo of the Disruption We Were Promised (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    too bad the cost of deployment is more than years of revenue you will get.

  25. Re:Tradeoffs on Diabetes Is Actually Five Separate Diseases, Research Suggests (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    that's because doctors here treat the symptoms and not the root cause. the patient doesn't care a lot of times about making themselves better, why should the doctors? and there is money to be made
