  1. Is it really too much to ask... on US Copyright Office Sides With Cable Companies Against FCC's Set Top Rules (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't see a reasoned argument that devices like Chromecast or Amazon FireTV stick; which can deliver copy protected Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime; can't also deliver cable channels. This decision is idiotic.

  2. Re:Heck yes, on Slashdot Asks: Would You Eat Lab-Grown Meat? (dmarge.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree, plus any lingering misgivings about eating animals will be gone.

  3. Unified 5G Network on Telecoms Promise 5G Networks If EU Cripples Net Neutrality (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    In my opinion cell phone networks should be unified. What I mean by that is that no matter who your cellphone provider is you should be able to use the towers closest to you. On my remote rural house Verizon has a cell tower but the rest are far away making Verizon the only that really works where I live. That makes no sense to me. Everyone in my area should be able to connect to this tower. There should be agreements between the different cell carriers that would allow using the closest tower to you. They should also turn all spectrum into a data network and use VoIP over it rather than normal calls and texts.

  4. Science without Religion is Lame on Is A Rational Nation Ruled By Science A Terrible Idea? (newscientist.com) · · Score: 1

    Religion without Science is Blind Einsein

  5. How about Boston - Hartford - NYC - DC on Hyperloop One Says It Can Connect Helsinki To Stockholm In Under 30 Minutes (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    A hyperloop on the east coast would be very popular I would think.

  6. The UK has always been a part of Oceania on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    And they have always been at war with Eastasia Perhaps now they will be at war with Eurasia as they always have been.

  7. Re:Rosie Jetson? Let's get real. on Elon Musk's Open Source OpenAI: We're Working On a Robot For Your Household Chores (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    To be fair, guys working on making working robot hands are not connected with the same groups that are working on bipedal motion and those same groups aren't working on visual recognition, etc. If Musk can unite these different projects he stands a good chance of making a robot for house chores.

  8. We need wireless mesh networks using Wifi. The mesh networks should run TOR too. Messaging apps that run over TOR to anonymize and encrypt communications so no one know who you are talking to and what you are saying. Web sites that use the dark web .onion protocol with https.

  9. Faster than light communication on Researchers Say The Aliens Are Silent Because They Are Extinct (theconversation.com) · · Score: 1

    Aliens likely have discovered more advanced forms of communication that are faster than light. They wouldn't use radio or other EM spectrum forms of communication and that is probably why we haven't heard anything.

  10. Node.js for simplecart on Ask Slashdot: Have You Migrated To Node.js? · · Score: 1

    I can't speak for javascript's good or bad performance and usability in complex projects but I can say that Node.js and simplecart which uses Node.js is very easy and runs fine. Yeah a hacker can change a price going to Paypal with it but with only one product to sell it is easy to see if the correct price is being transmitted. A little html and boom the site can run on a Raspberry Pi and perform well.

  11. NSA should secure public automated transportation on Experts Have No Confidence That We Can Protect Cars and Streets From Hackers (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    We know that about 30,000 people are killed each year in the U.S. due to ordinary traffic accidents. Computer controlled vehicles will drastically decrease this in the coming years. We can't not afford to implement computer controlled vehicles. Why not have the NSA secure automated vehicle software. They would likely be ahead of the game on security vulnerabilities and are best positioned out of everyone to secure automated vehicles. Yes there is an issue with having the NSA track everyone's movements all the time. That is unfortunately happening to a lesser extent now with police license plate scanners.
