    Considering the fact that I was a teen suffering from depression. I know, I know, correlation != causation, but I remember a slew of depressed teens when I was growing up in the 90s. This is not a new phenomenon. So I am curious as to what they used for a control group?

    I don't buy into this study and would like see follow up studies to confirm this "link."

  5. Re:Keep the bad parts on Republican Lawmaker Introduces Net Neutrality Legislation (variety.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    You would think so, but reality is often far more convoluted than theory. Theories are nice and clean until you start building in exceptions. This is no different that a program. You code based on a simple function, but as you add features, exceptions, business logic, and error handling; your code becomes this monstrosity where you begin to wonder what the original intent was in the first place.

    Net Neutrality is in the same way not as clear cut as you might think. That's not to say that I am not in favor of Net Neutrality. I am. Yet there are some things that clearly benefit from lower latency such as voice communications or video to video conversations or even remotely controlling devices from afar. Even electronic gaming and our own stock market would pay for a lower level ping if given the opportunity.

  7. Could be an Evolutionary Advantage on Fish Are Eating Lots of Plastic (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Think about it this way. Several fish are on their way to extinction due to being over-fished. If we were no long able to consume many of these fish, if they find a way to thrive, they will return to previous population levels in the ocean and we won't be predators any longer which give other species opportunities. At some point either the plastic will hopefully break down and be consumed or our species will die off at which point fish will out last us. If they don't thrive, so long and thanks for all the fish.

  9. This is unfortunate on Intel Exits the Maker Movement (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    On a positive note, more are entering the maker space and the market for the internet of things is impressive. Security hopefully will catch up.

    I see Intel trying to cut a lot of low return investments to redirect their focus into the processor space. AMD is making serious inroads and actually caught them off guard. McAfee appears to have been a misstep, although I could have called that one a light year a way.

    As soon as they secure their spot in the processor space again, they will start to branch out and take on other markets, but if their core space is under assault, they either have to defend or abandon. They have too much to lose to flee the x86 market.

    At this point, if you want to point out all the flaws of Hillary Clinton and the radical Democrats who assaulted or shot at Trump Supporters or GOP members, feel free to also point out the racists who were incensed about the removal of Confederate statues or Samuel Houston's statue which is even more entertaining because he despised the Confederacy. Feel free to also point out the Trump supporters who shot and killed various people for "looking" Muslim. I own the fact that yes there was Bernie Supporter who shot up a GOP team. That's sad and I don't know where he managed to get the message that violently attacking GOP officials was okay. Violently attacking anyone is not okay. Yet the GOP needs to own their own extremist and that's something they don't care to do. Most of the time they don't acknowledge this happening. I think the most we managed to get out of Trump was a, "Stop It" and that was after he was questioned and begged. Bernie has apologized time and again over this single individual.

  14. Potential Donor Lists on Anti-Aging Start-Up Is Charging Thousands of Dollars for Teen Blood (vanityfair.com) · · Score: 1

    First they will prey on young students just trying to get through college but then come to a conclusion that it would be cheaper just to pick on people who happen to be in a condition where they have no other opportunity. Sentences for crimes will be shortened if they are under 25 and donate a pint of blood.

    Welfare parents are also trying to take advantage of this system by having more children. Blood children, they are mules for society. Sure a child shouldn't be able to donate until they are 16 with parental approval, but fake papers and steroids promote early growth, getting a child to become a donor at an earlier age. From ages 12 to 25, children become the bread winners of families. While some grow sick and die from over donation, the population boom from parents having children to become blood mules for the wealthy is enough to offset the losses.

    Private prisons are the first to capitalize on this lucrative supply. Three months off for every pint they donate, but then any probation violation gets them back into prison, where they seem to find them selves with sentences that for some reason end at the age of twenty five. Drug users who have STDs or other diseases are not optional. Incarceration rate skyrockets, The US goes from having 25% of the world's prison population to 50% of the world's prison population in just a few short years. One side-effect of this is that a cure for AIDS as well as a number of other STDS is found in a very short period of time, yet all of the schools how have mandatory abstinence only education. Condoms and other forms of birth control are outlawed.

    Decades later, the majority of the youth are only kept alive to prolong the life of the wealthy and society collapses as a population boom causes world wide famine nearly pushing humanity to the brink of extinction. This was a fun ride while it lasted though.

  15. Radio Shack failed because they didn't adapt on With Nothing Left To Sell, RadioShack Is Selling Itself To People (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's what happened pure and simple. Someone pointed out about how they moved away from being a hobbyist shop to an overpriced electronics shop and never moved back into the hobbyist market when the hobbyist market picked back up. They should be the place where you can buy Drones, 3D Printers, and Raspberry Pis and.. have classes where they can bring in outsiders to experiment with the products or troubleshoot what they need to do.

    Instead they failed and failed hard. I know I am being a bit of a Monday morning quarterback, but I had been preaching this for a long time. I watched other companies such as Frye's and MicroCenter pick up the slack while CompUSA and Circuit City took a dive. I still don't know how Best Buy continues, but it does. (Not geared towards the hobbyist though)

    It's tragic as I would really like to see someone fill the void and maybe mom and pop shops will. That's what I can hope for anyway.

  23. Lacking a Product Refresh? on Mac Sales Declined Nearly 10 Percent Last Year (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Let's see, they managed to renew two models of Mac last year. The MacBook and the MacBook Pro. Everything else was stagnant. There was almost no reason at all to purchase a Mac. While the MacBook update was actually superior to the previous version, overall the update was pretty bland. It's like Henry Ford took over and said, I have the perfect car, why should I change. Granted, Intel's missteps hasn't helped either. They haven't exactly put out a homerun in the processor market since the days of SandyBridge. In the realm of the Mac Mini, their desktop actually regressed from the previous version in only have a dual core processor.

    Maybe if they actually do something this year, we can get behind them and buy their products again. If not, I am certain they will continue to slide down to the level of other vendors.
