  1. Go learn more about stablecoins.

  2. Re: Consumers will pay for this on Visa, Mastercard Mull Increasing Fees For Processing Transactions: Report (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    But you are actually driving up the cost of goods and services with your behavior, so you're still paying.

  3. Re: Compete with Visa? Good luck with that on Visa, Mastercard Mull Increasing Fees For Processing Transactions: Report (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    If Apple and Google both decided to support the same stable cryptocurrency - e.g., USDC - Venmo would be out of business in a year or two and Visa and MC would be frantic.

  4. Rich people get rich by making sound financial decisions. Like not buying houses in future flood plains.

  5. So, assuming a hazmat reclassification is needed, you don't think it's a big deal that Monsanto is trying to cover that up?

  6. Apple and Microsoft have both spent huge amounts of money trying to merge the desktop and mobile. Their continued inability to do so points to a fundamental difference between the two types of platforms that won't be transcended.

  7. Re: Good government management on Amazon Pulls Out of Planned New York City Campus (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Lead paint was phased out in different areas at different rates and corresponds nicely to the drop in crime.

  8. Re: Relative risk on Common Weed Killer Glyphosate Increases Risk of Cancer By 41 Percent, Study Says (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is it ok if Monsanto is only poisoning farmers?

  9. Re: California SHOULD be a tax donor state on California Will Not Complete $77 Billion High-Speed Rail Project (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Grant water rights to whoever holds the water. West CA can buy water from East CA at rates cheaper than desalination. This is good, because otherwise East CA will be an inpoverished wasteland.

  10. Yeah, half of France is now a post-nuclear wasteland, and the other half can't get power.

    Oh, wait...

  11. Pretty sure keyboard events only occur on the active tab. Anything else would be a giant security hole.

  12. So, there's less ice than we thought and the rise in sea levels has not been as severe as we thought for the amount of ice that has melted. How is this not a positive thing?

  13. Response: on NYPD To Google: Stop Revealing the Location of Police Checkpoints (nypost.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    SOTU to NYPD: STFU

  14. Re: What if... on Global Warming Could Exceed 1.5C Within Five Years, Report Says (theguardian.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Anyone buying waterfront property is betting against most common models of climate change.

  15. Re: World Economic Collapse on 'The World Might Actually Run Out of People' (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    The easy solution is to open up immigration. Japan needs less racism if they don't want their economy to melt down.

  16. Re: This will end up being very expensive for Appl on Apple Reaches Deal With France To Pay Estimated $571 Million In Back-Taxes (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    Local competition to Apple in Europe?

    Bwahahaha!

  17. All true communists live in liberal capitalist societies.

  18. Re: I can vouch for this. on Ask Slashdot: Are Custom Android ROMs Still a Thing? · · Score: 2

    My laptop has an unlocked bootloader and Netflix works just fine.

  19. World Economic Collapse on 'The World Might Actually Run Out of People' (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    If it's true, we're heading towards a complete world economic collapse. The world's economy is built on debt we assume to paid by future generations. When the population no longer grows, the resulting social upheaval will be immense. The concerns from global warming are trivial in comparison.

  20. Re: Not Americans on Americans Are Lining Up To Work For Amazon For $15 an Hour (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    You can make that argument, but I personally would find it ridiculous if McDonald's paid enough to rent an apartment in San Francisco for a single mother of two.

    At some point, we have to decide what really constitutes necessity.

  21. How does an ISP inject certs? The whole point of SSL/TLS is to stop that. Is this some new attack vector? Why aren't we just patching the flaw in TLS?

  22. AMZN is first and foremost a logistics company.

  23. Because with prime you get free shipping on $3 orders. This significantly impacts how well you can replace basic shopping with Amazon. It's very common for me to pick up my phone and order something whenever I see it's running out. That would be prohibitively expensive if I was paying shipping each time for my toothpaste.

  24. Newer movies - with fewer reviews - are statistically more likely to hit the outliers. You're just seeing that effect. It doesn't say anything about how accurate the reviews are for the typical movie.

  25. Because Blink (Chromium) is based on WebKit, WebKit doesn't exactly serve the same purpose as Gecko.
