  1. Re:Front porch theft on Amazon's Drone-Delivery Dreams Are No Joke (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    What's the benefit of getting free products that you destroyed with a shotgun in order to acquire?

    It's up to the customer to designate a suitable landing spot for deliveries. If you can't find one on your property then you simply won't have the option to receive deliveries this way.

  3. Re: And I'm not laughing on Amazon's Drone-Delivery Dreams Are No Joke (backchannel.com) · · Score: 2

    It appears you're being sarcastic though I can't figure out why. Why should Amazon be any more responsible for the misuse of drones than any other drone manufacturer is? Do you think Ford should also be responsible for people driving into crowds?

    Well we're in luck, Gorilla Glass isn't unbreakable.

    That only works if the price they're willing to pay is higher than the production cost.

  6. If this baking soda is used for baking instead of baking soda mined from natural deposits than it will result in less carbon added to the atmosphere.

    "Social support network" = "friends"

  8. You think human intelligence isn't an algorithm?

    It's been standard on newer phone for a few years now.

    You mean the Supreme Court which the next president will have at least two positions to fill.

    The phone locks after 4 or 5 invalid attempts, so they can only really brute force the most commonly used fingers.

    Sure, what would a multi-billion dollar organization need security for? That makes sense.

  13. I'm glad to see this on Apple Rumored To Remove Old-School USB Ports On Next MacBook Pro (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm glad to see this. No, I'm not going to buy one of their laptops, but it will help push adoption of USB-C the way the original iMac helped make USB commonplace.

    If that was the case why just threaten them to shut off his internet? Why not make them expel him from the embassy so he can be taken into custody since that's what they really want?

  19. Re:Does anybody ... on Assange Internet Link Cut By State Actor, Claims Wikileaks (rt.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I keep hearing this stupid talking point. I don't like what Assange is doing right now because he's trying to manipulate our election. If he wasn't exclusively trying to harm Clinton and if he just released them instead of timing the releases for the most damage and if the releases actually contained something worth giving a damn about I would be ok about it. But as it is what he's doing has nothing to do with transparency and that's why he's lost so much respect.

  20. It means if they are much safer than human drivers it doesn't really matter who they are prioritizing since everyone will be benefitting still.

  21. Casting audio is much better than using Bluetooth from your phone. That said, you can use a cheap Chromecast Audio if you dint want the smarts in the speaker itself.

    No, the initial promise was that the message wouldn't be stored on Google's servers and that is still the case. The author of the article is just confused.

  25. Re:Am i missing something? on Google Backs Off On Previously Announced Allo Privacy Feature (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    But the original Verge article only says that Google won't store your messages on their servers, it's not talking about storing them on your phone. And now this article is saying the same thing, the messages will be kept on your phone but not on Google's servers. No change.

    Whoever wrote this article is confused.
