  1. Re:Is there energy to be had here? on First Measurement of Distribution of Pressure Inside a Proton (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    It sure what this boilerplate post is about, but cheaper, massive amounts of energy, especially non-polluting, is a valuable goal.

    With cheap enough energy, you can cheaply boil ocean water to distill fresh for people around the world.

  2. Now he's 10^^12 times too weak on First Measurement of Distribution of Pressure Inside a Proton (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    > which is about 10 times greater than the pressure in the heart of a neutron star

    Superman should upgrade his Fortress of Solitude key to embarrass the Hulk even more.

  3. The robo voice is a little too enthusiastic on Google Won't Confirm If Its Human-Like AI Actually Called a Salon To Make an Appointment As Demoed at I/O (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    So the lesson is be careful in the future if you order your robot to jerk you off.

  4. Re:Fake Mining Resources = Fake Hosting Resources? on The SEC Created Its Own Scammy ICO To Teach Investors a Lesson (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Clearly we should be suspicious of Howie coins if such a pseudo-DOS is so easily effective.

    Yet I don't wanna be left behind again, so maybe I will fight through it.

  5. Worser and worser on Nobody Knows How Much Energy Bitcoin Is Using (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Especially considering web page scripting running stuff in ways as anti-efficient as you can get, relying on millons of copies to keep up with the Joneses.

    Still, if it helps drive green generation, well, that's right in line with supply and demand.

  6. Re: ... or, you know ... on YouTube Might Finally Get An Incognito Mode (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 1

    Why would you ever log in to watch youtube?

    One wouldn't want to be tracked for one's innocent scientific interest in watching a medical exam video unofficially called "The Shocker", which could be misinterpreted as prurient interest.

  7. Re: How much did they spend... on Ecuador Spent $5 Million Protecting and Spying On Julian Assange, Says Report (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I've been ruded to coming into Canada from the US. Later I realized they were probably trained to do that in an attempt to fluster a crook into making a mistake.

    If I were writing a process for them, I might do that.

  8. Re:Give him a medal on Suspect Identified In CIA 'Vault 7' Leak (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    At the very least, physical lockouts and uncorruptable logging of all access to verify against a warrant is woefully absent.

    It's the agent with access secretly working on behalf of a powerful political faction or person, looking into dirt and connections of their political enemies that drove the 4th Amendment's creation.

    In my day, we hadda fit everything into a 512-bit cyclic mercury vibration pipe which cost as much as a medium apartment building. We didn't have no stinking 64k of RAM. Wheeeee what luxury you spoiled brats get offa my lawn.

  10. Almost certainly it's the quantity of food, not the quality.

    There was the professor who went on the cheeseburgers and Twinkies diet, but cut total calories. He lost weight, blood sugar and lipids went to normal, etc.

    Fats make a difference in that calories per gram is higher, but not because of the fattiness itself.

    As usual, it's the quantity, stupid.

  11. Re:Of course on Google Employees Resign in Protest Against Pentagon Contract (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't care if Google wants to know if I'm more interested in diapers or Depends.

    The problem is can government track stuff like that, to misuse in a Panopticon?

  16. Re:I love the United States. on Senate Democrats Force a Vote To Restore Net Neutrality (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I wish the U.S. had a healthy government.

    Believe it or not, this is how it is supposed to work -- factions fighting and offsetting the designs of other factions...and men.

    Worry instead when there's smooth sailing, because either someone has too much power, or there's a war on.

  17. Tbey build new homes there? on California Becomes First State To Mandate Solar on New Homes (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0

    Pick your sarcasm 1.0:

    A. This will help the housing crisis there, and the gentrification issues!
    B. They build new homes there anymore?
    C. On the positive side, $50,000 for solar panels won't increase the fractional price of new houses by nearly as much as the $10M environmental study.

  18. Re:Like breathing at high altitude w/o O2. on States Turn To an Unproven Method of Execution: Nitrogen Gas (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Executing someone permanently ends any chance at redemption, and so Christians (and any religion with a perma-Hell) should be against it.

  19. Re:Like breathing at high altitude w/o O2. on States Turn To an Unproven Method of Execution: Nitrogen Gas (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Is there something wrong with savage revenge?

    I'm keen to mistakes and racial disparities, and even "government should not have this power on principle", but the core reason is wrong?

    I'm fine with execution as the proper expression of society's utter revulsion at certain acts.

    Many nations twist arms to have local assembly or parts, or else tarriffs. So is Iranian business so big to drop the American market and increase tarriffs in many places sewhere?

    I'm old enough to remember when Star Trek and Brady Bunch were first shown...in reruns on my local channel in the 1970s.

  25. Re:Great Gambling Gumballs!!! on EA Still Believes in Loot Boxes, Will 'Push Forward' With Their Use (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Gumball machines and so on don't charge $15 for a bunch of unlock keys.

    In any case, it was low value and probably not addictive. The question isn't whether it's gambling -- in both cases, it is. The question is if it should be illegal.

    The question here is the dollars involved and that it's directed at children. And are they saying the act of unlocking a box is fun gameplay in and of itself?

    How about publishing statistics, including average number of dollars to spend to get each piece? I guarantee they know this info.
