  1. Re:At risk of sounding like a nerd... on A Bright Green 'Christmas Comet' Will Fly the Closest To Earth In Centuries · · Score: 1

    If the colour were somehow relevant to understanding the comet, or even expanded upon, it could be interesting.

    As phrased, it basically comes off as "it's green because it's green". There are no quirks to its colour to justify discussing wavelengths.

  2. Re:Not really a big deal anymore on Samsung Kills Headphone Jack After Mocking Apple (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    Wired pro controllers are a thing.

    But you are free to use the in-plane wifi on the same frequencies if you supply a credit card.

    Yes, that was the reference being made.

    Congrats.

  5. Re:Squaring the wing area cubes the weight on First Ever Plane With No Moving Parts Takes Flight (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    But you've cubed the weight.

    Wouldn't be a problem if they'd just do all their math in the Base Current-Airplane-Weight numbering system.

  6. But if it's a callback system then all you need is one guy willing to write a script that does it a million times.

    Just find one, then use a holepunch to make it double sided.

  8. Re:sjw editors on 'Why I Bid $700 For a Stolen PSN Account' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Their is perfectly fine from a grammar standpoint and has been used long before it was socially relevant.

  9. Honestly, anybody going anywhere is pretty alright.

    Things have been a bit stale on the exploration front since that whole New World thing a couple centuries back.

  10. Would it soothe your concerns a little if they used some AI to build it?

  11. I particularly enjoy typing something quickly into the search, having the autocomplete guess wrong, then backspacing and retyping the last character to get the correct result.

  12. Re:So how does that work? on Wharton Professor Says America Should Shorten the Work Day By 2 Hours (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, they obviously all catch fire and die.

  13. Or more accurately, do you use maths to count how many waters you drink?

  14. Do you use maths to catch fishes?

  15. Re:Correction: Nothing cool about this on Tesla Issues Software Update To Extend Some Cars' Batteries Due To Hurricane Florence (electrek.co) · · Score: 1

    Are you suggesting that Tesla is endangering the public safety by allowing these people to use more of their battery?

    I actually stayed at a hotel a while back that had a note saying they'd add a charge if you used the minibar as a fridge.

    Was rather ridiculous.

    Nobody wants to talk with you over the phone.

  18. Re:70% or 40% reduction? on Researchers Used Sonar Signal From a Smartphone Speaker To Steal Unlock Passwords (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    It's like a USB port. You've gotta try some of possibilities multiple times before they'll work.

  19. Re:Almost used this.. on Mobile Spyware Maker mSpy Leaks Millions of Sensitive Records (krebsonsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're at the point where you're lojacking your wife's phone, it's probably time to break up anyway.

    Either she's cheating, and you should leave, or you violate her trust, and she should leave you.

  20. Re: A mystery on Physicists Measure Gravity With Record Precision (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    "Also, how to measure velocity accurately enough to not change things at the fifteenth or sixteenth decimal point?"

    Observing will change what you observe, but shouldn't it be possible to know 'how much' observing it will change and factor that in?

  22. Re:Any tutorials to use it for not-porn? on The Defense Department Has Produced the First Tools For Catching Deepfakes (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Gag-level quality was pretty much what I was going for, but it sounds like the effort/reward ratio really isn't there.

    I'll probably still poke at it sometime but I'll keep my expectations low.

    At a quick glance that seems to be ideal.

  24. Any tutorials to use it for not-porn? on The Defense Department Has Produced the First Tools For Catching Deepfakes (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Here's probably as good a place as any to ask.

    Any time I've tried some simple searching on how-to, it's started going down porn paths. Does anybody have a porn-free tutorial on how to get started on creating a deepfake?

    I don't care to create anything that would fool anybody, I just think it'd be neat to screw around with over a few lunch hours at work.
