    That's why you need to blend in. Use a normal card occationally for legal stuff, keep its record appears normal.
    This way you keep a John Doe NORP profile and hide yourself under the surveillance radar.

    For all shady shit, use your black card. Always hides your face from cctv while buy/recharge the card. Even better just purchase another card instead for recharging.

  5. Re:What happened to JPEG2000 on Can A New Open Photo File Format Replace JPEGs? (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Every device maker want the roll out their own proprietary format, instead of using existing one, because they EARN patent $$ in the former while PAY license $$ in the later. Only roadblock is market share.
    That's why giants like google/apple/MS will always try to force feed consumers with new formats.
    That's why open source/non patent formats never take off.
    Technical merit of new proprietary format vs existing are always so little these days that can be count as FUD from customer perspective.

    I don't think GP is saying people are getting dumber. Users of the Internet is getting dumber ON AVERAGE.
    Good old Internet was used by educated mass(univeristies, large corp etc). Web2.0 is used by everyone with a smartphone. Of course former group had a higher average IQ. Quality of article of respective period reflect the IQ of audience they are serving.

  7. Generation Xer who used internet were not layman on Amazon's Next Big Bet is Letting You Communicate Without a Smartphone, Says Alexa's Chief Scientist (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Back in the days of dial up, people who use internet are big company employees, universities and nerds. It is not surprising these tech literates are more privacy/security aware.

    Who's on the web2.0 now are 8-80 yro with a smartphone, vast majority are layman. Sure there are smarter one among the millennials who still care about privacy/security, but their voice will be drown within bazillion of ignorants.

    TLDR: millennials aren't dumber than Gen Xers. Dumbfuck among gen Xers simply are too stupid to get on the web back in the days.

    They don't care who is guilty. They just want higher arrest / prosecution rate to improve crime stats to boost their career. To achieve that end they don't even care about your survival.
    TLDR; civilians are just expendables which they can maimed/killed for the lulz and used for their personal gain, without backfire.

  12. Re:So Make Hydrogen on California Has So Much Solar Power That Other States Are Paid To Take It (mic.com) · · Score: 1

    You don't store the hydrogen. You use the hydrogen to make ammonia/methanol (ICI process/Haber process), both are readily storable in mild condition. Trying to store hydrogen is doing it wrong.
    In short hydrogen economy only works when energy production->hydrogen production->ammonia/methanol production are tightly coupled.

  18. Asynchronous Transfer Mode on Ethernet Consortia Wants To Unlock a More Time-Sensitive Network (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    There already are packet switching tech with ability to "handle both traditional high-throughput data traffic, and real-time, low-latency content such as voice and video." call ATM.
    To fix Ethernet's high jitter delivery, the frame size need to be small and fixed. Doing so it will not longer be Ethernet.
    If we keep the 64-1500byte Ethernet frame, frame delay will be variable and long, real time traffic cannot be guaranteed.
    Why reinvent a square wheel if all problems has been tackled by ATM?

  21. Re:Overkill for the vast majority of viewers on Japan Starts 8K TV Broadcasts In Time For Rio Olympics (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    There are legit use for 8k video signals, but IMHO mostly on technical/niche fields. E.g. CCTV, drone camera will benefit greatly from higher resolution. Instead of having to pan/tilt/zoom, the camera can record the entire scene at once while still resolve enough interesting details. The end user just digitally magnify whatever part of scene to fill his screen if his screen is too small. Same technique can be use for zooming into say the goalie of a soccer game as the end viewer please.
    I doubt layman would want to constantly zooming in/out all the time while watching soap opera though.

    1) Layman know fuck all about importance of open standard, they just care about ability to show the latest titty emoticon on their message.

    We sigh and painfully migrate all our contact from old IRC/ICQ/MSN/whatever to that titty_emoticon_IM.
    3) 5 years later, next gen kids think titty_emoticon_IM are for grannies, and penis_emoticon_IM rulz. Go back to step (1)

    Thats why we can never have good thing.
