  1. Re:This will create disincentives to work on Another Universal Basic Income Experiment is Underway, This Time in Canada (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    But what if Peter is an overpaid asshole who doesn't deserve his big fat pay checks for sitting on his ass in an air conditioned office pushing a mouse and entering numbers into excel?

    Ah! Just kidding, Peter.

    (/me waves at Peter from the cubicle across the room)

  2. Isn't that the same argument against providing unemployment benefits, food stamp, and homeless shelters?

    The problem with homeless shelters is that once a homeless has shelter he's not homeless anymore and stops being eligible to homeless shelters. Which then of course means he's homeless again and is now eligible to homeless shelters, which in turn...

    It's a non-stop carousel that does nothing for the homeless and only provides work for the bureaucrats.

    Why would AMD be creating a service similar to MoviePass? I mean it doesn't make any -

  7. You forgot to talk about Canada's new cars. Our new maple-syrup-powered cars can run 25000km on only 1.2 litres of maple syrup.

  8. This only confirms my theory that the new product out of Tesla is going to be a pop-up camper trailer.

  9. Re:Why Bitcoin? on Square Obtains New York State Cryptocurrency License (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    The only people who use Bitcoin are money launderers and drug dealers so they won't care either.

    I hate drug dealers, but without money launderers we'd have really dirty money after only a few weeks.

  12. Re:Holy shit, CPUs! on HPE Announces World's Largest ARM-based Supercomputer (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Sounds good, but have you seen the prices on those AMD Epyc CPUs? And the power requirements?

    I'm think about an Apple ARM processor, based on the A12 or whatever found in the iPad Pro or iPhone X, but with eight or sixteen times as many cores, running macOS and emulating x86 for legacy applications.

  13. You mean like a dentist?

    Is it really related to TRX?

  15. Re:Holy shit, CPUs! on HPE Announces World's Largest ARM-based Supercomputer (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    The cool part for me is learning there's 28-cores ARM processors out there, which gives me hope that Apple's delays with the MacBook Air and Mac mini means they're close to releasing their first-ever ARM-powered Macs running macOS.

    SMS just fucking sucks though, since you're tied to cellular networks, SMS is not data and all that shit.

  18. Re:Email anyone.. on Android Messages Will Now Let You Send Texts From Your Computer (www.blog.google) · · Score: 1

    I think a sort email extension thing would be the best and easiest option to enable cross-platform text messaging across platforms, including sending images/files.

  19. Apple, Google and Microsoft should sit down and make one standard that works cross-platform. Trying to tie down users to a platform using apps is one thing, but text messaging should be as platform-independant as email.

    And no, SMS is not cross-platform since it won't work on non-cellular devices (laptops, desktops, etc).

  20. Is "Android Messages" really simple SMS text messages, or is it more like Apple's iMessages?

    The "linking" setup talked about in the summary makes it sounds as though you need an Android device to begin with, which in your oponion would be as stupid as Apple's closed system.

    False. I have spotlight disabled and I can't get image dimensions from the finder. Dimensions display as "--".

    Without Spotlight enabled, nothing can be searched. Mail, Finder, etc. Even the fucking image thumbnails won't work and file details either (ex: image dimensions).
