  1. People don't like... on Hello Games Received Death Threats Over 'No Man's Sky' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    ....to be scammed out of money by marketing promises that the company knows will never happen. It is fraud, but there is no recourse because you can't get a refund.

  2. Really impressive on Waymo's Autonomous Vehicles Are Driving 25,000 Miles Every Day (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I was wrong. AI and automation are right around the corner! I really can't wait to get my autonomous car, or even better, to hail one!

  3. Re:Answer on Containers or Virtual Machines: Which is More Secure? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    That is what "break" means in this context ("break out" from container/VM)

  4. It is about time someone told Uber what they really are: an illegal taxi service!

  5. Answer on Containers or Virtual Machines: Which is More Secure? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Answer: Neither. Intels CPU bugs have made it possible to break both.

    What is Facebook "learning"? They have a $611 billion market cap. Their founder has a $77 billion net worth. The only thing companies are learning is that this is good (for them).

  7. Re:What a maroon on Facebook Notification Spam Has Crossed the Line (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    That only works for SMS coming from Facebook Messages. When we designed the system we excluded the SMS opt-out for the messages from the system.

    Exactly. 2FA is just there so they can get your mobile number. Gmail does this too (actually every "free cloud service" does now).

  9. Re:Secure? on Facebook Notification Spam Has Crossed the Line (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    Good point, but I don't think they really care about accuracy as much as volume. There are so many fake profiles on Facebook I don't think the accuracy is very high.

    He forgot his password and doesn't want to log in again. What people are complaining about is that the SMS is supposed to be for 2FA, but they are using it to try to get you back onto Facebook. But you gave them the right to do whatever they wanted with your phone number (including selling it to data collectors), so I don't think these people can complain.

  11. Secure? on Facebook Notification Spam Has Crossed the Line (wired.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why should Facebook be "secure"? I don't get it. You are giving all your data away. The idea is to make it frictionless and make it easier to login so you will give more data away. I doubt Facebook corporations wants to make it HARDER to log in.

  12. Then they could do the opposite and get rid of a runway.

  13. Correct. I am being proactive.

  14. Or build more runways.

  15. The editors added that after I made my comment.

  16. Fascinating. I didn't realize I said that it was a question. Also, that isn't the summary, but the headline you quoted. Man, being a jerk really backfires somtimes, don't it? (that was a question)

  17. Should an airline fail to use their slot at least 80 percent of the time, Heathrow will reassign it to the next company on the waiting list. This is why ghost flights happen occasionally.

  18. Re:Information wants to be free on Some Scientists Work With China, But NASA Won't (wired.com) · · Score: 0

    Exactly. I'm not acting. Just because you don't agree that information wants to be free doesn't mean I am wrong.

  19. If it costs more to mine the BitCoin then mining will stop until the price of BitCoin rises. Once BitCoin rises to a certain level it will start mining again. Free market at work. In fact, it might be a good time to buy BitCoin now, since it price will rise.

  20. Re:Information wants to be free on Some Scientists Work With China, But NASA Won't (wired.com) · · Score: 0

    I said it WANTS to be free, not that it SHOULD be free.

  21. Information wants to be free on Some Scientists Work With China, But NASA Won't (wired.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    This is silly. Information wants to be free. As we have found in real life: Open Source and open specifications are successful in moving us forward. Closed source and secret technology only has served to move us backward, and to prop up corporate fascists that want to build walls around computing and technology.

  22. The "m" means "million", not "meter" in this case. It is a typo on the editors part.

    America is a continent, not a country. You must mean USian.
