  1. Equilibrium on Silicon Valley Continues To Explore Universal Basic Incomes (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer.

    The real problem is jobs being replaced by machines, A.I., etc. This should decrease the costs of those goods and services. But instead, it's making the rich richer and the poor unable to afford those goods and services because they're out of work.

  2. Re:Wait! What? on Researchers Found Perfect Contraceptives In Traditional Chinese Medicine (inverse.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    - news for nerds

  3. What's in a name on Google Go-Playing A.I. Retires To Focus On Energy Conservation And Medicine (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    You think it's called AlphaGo because it plays Go?

    Alphabet + Google = AlphaGo

    Raspberry Pi zero dimensions: 65 x 30 mm.
    18650: 18 x 65mm.

    So yes, you should be able to put a Raspberry Pi zero in the space of two 18650 batteries.

    Windows phone? Is that a thing?

    I know about Windows, the gaming operating system. Is that what you're talking about?

    Good, maybe they'll go back to making real computers instead of fashion statements.

    Funny, I read that as "Android is so shitty that we need all our programmers to work on Opera for Android. The iOS version works just fine."

    That I must explain this is a testimony to the ignorance of persons like yourself.

    Everyone is ignorant of a lot of terms outside their own domain.

    There's no such thing. You can be "future safe for a while", but sooner or later the technology will catch up with whatever you bought.

    Alright, we'll use the other Icarus. However, I don't see how a winged kid with a bow will help us get telemetry about our star.
