  1. Re:I hope they just let him go on Wikileaks Co-founder Julian Assange Arrested in London (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    No he did not rob us of the first female president. I was totally behind Obama, he was a great president and a great man, but Hillary has a history of being a lying cheating sack of garbage. She can't see anything other than the fattening of her own wallet and being in the history books.

  2. Just why the hell would people steal these things? I guess people will steal anything.

  3. For testers it's even worse on Making Video Games Is Not a Dream Job (nytimes.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Game testers are treated even more like garbage, often they are employed by a separate company, and crammed into the basement for minimum wage.

  4. The same was said about alot of things. on Ban Fortnite, Says Prince Harry (gamespot.com) · · Score: 2

    Doom, World of Warcraft, and hell I think even Bejeweled and Farmville probably make the same list. Every year, or every other year people are crying the same thing about what ever the new hot game is out there.

  5. Time to start importing from the US on EU Set To Mandate Speed Limiters In All New Cars (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Looks like it's time to start buying cars in the US to import and sell in Europe. I'm guessing that you could get a nice premium for an unlocked american car as long as it meets all the other EU standards, such as stop/tail light colors.

  6. Re:It doesn't always work that way. on Google's Waymo Risks Repeating Silicon Valley's Most Famous Blunder (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Yes, the way i said it was super simplistic, just like the article above.

  7. It doesn't always work that way. on Google's Waymo Risks Repeating Silicon Valley's Most Famous Blunder (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You could design the most perfect self driving car, but it might not be the right time in the market for it, or it could be too expensive at the time. Kodak designed the first digital camera, but it was also at least 5 years too early. Just because someone can do something doesn't mean it's the right time to do it.

  8. Because it's alot easier and better to copy chips that are still in the process of being made, than ones that are already built and glued together.

  9. Go with a pixel, it's got stock android, with no extra bloat ware, and gets the updates first, and the over the longest time period since they are googles own phones. You don't have a headphone jack, but you do have usb-c and with the pixel 3 you get wireless charging again, they dropped that for a few years.

  10. Re:17 years too late on Microsoft's Moving Xbox Ad Was the Best Thing About the Super Bowl (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Dude, go play fortnight or what ever the game of the week is and there is probably a bunch of kids using this thing to totally own your ass.

  11. So what is the scaffolding made out of?? on Why Your New Heart Could Be Made in Space One Day (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I get it that there currently needs to be some kind of base that the heart grows around, but what is it made out of? If it is just just regular plastic, why not make it out of something that is dis-solvable by some kine of water or maybe salt water solution, that way after the heart is built, it just gets washed out in the inspection process. I'm sure that smarter minds than mine have thought about this, but I know there is always an easier way.

  12. Re:The sun is the largest nuclear reactor on Only Nuclear Energy Can Save the Planet (wsj.com) · · Score: 2

    Yes, I'll agree, but with current nuclear regulations, I don't see a new reactor being built at anything other than a snails pace, and that's if were lucky. Plus what do we do with the waste later, we currently can't agree to a good solution to what we have.

  13. Re:History repeats itself on 'We Expected VR To Be Two To Three Times as Big', Says CCP Games CEO (roadtovr.com) · · Score: 1

    I doubt it'll ever really catch on, it'll always be niche, because it's too immersive, but something will usually be wrong with it. AR will also have the same problem, no one want's it to just be ads for stuff all the time with is what it basically will be really quickly.

  14. I have one and they are really good tablet/pc for light work or surfing the web. Why get the samsung knock off when the MS one is the origional.

  15. Re:There are some great ones and mostly not so gre on Movie Commentary Tracks Are Back (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    The very first american pie movie has a good one, it's actually quite informative and funny

  16. AI really can't replace everything. on Amazon Scraps Secret AI Recruiting Tool That Showed Bias Against Women (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    As hard as you want to say, sometimes you still need an actual person doing the job. That person will be biased in some way other another too, so I guess it's not a perfect system any way you look at it.

  17. Re:And this is different than a NASA launch... how on The Billionaire Space Race Is Making Life Difficult for Airlines (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Yes, but NASA launches are just a few times a year, SPACE X and its competitors want weekly or even daily launches.

  18. Re:Replace the servers, not the chefs on Robot Worries Could Cause a 50,000-Worker Strike in Las Vegas (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The USA needs to do that, not by replacing the servers, but by paying them legit wages for their time. The whole idea that a server should make less per hour because she MIGHT be tipped is just wrong. There are many countries around the world that do not tip, because it's not necessary, it's even frowned apon in some cultures.

  19. I understand that this stuff it convenient to have, but like how hard it is to hit a damn light switch. I also wouldn't trust it to order a damn thing off amazon, if I said Alexa order toilet paper or what ever, I'd assume that amazon has it programmed to give me the worst deal possible, because they make the most money that way.

  20. Slow news day? on Lightning Struck Her Home. Then Her Brain Implant Stopped Working. (nytimes.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    So her home was struck by lightning, and it fried everything, even some highly advance stuff implanted in her body. Do people not realize how much power in in a bolt of lightning? The woman is probably lucky her house didn't burn down, i know that homes have lightning rods and what not, but I've see some massive damage to homes that are struck.

  21. He pretty much admitted it. They tried to take too many people out of the equation of actually building the car, and they failed. Automation is great, and can help efficiency, but it's not the end all be all that some people think it is.

  22. How is that possible?? on Puerto Rico is Experiencing an Island-Wide Blackout (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    How can any company be so far in debt and still operating, in any shape or form. I would have figured they would have closed long ago and their assets sold to other companies.

  23. Re:Nothing about corruption? on Why New York City Stopped Building Subways (citylab.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Chicago still as a truly elevated system in places, and it's as old, but still is good, and gets upgraded regularly. I'm not saying that Chicago is not corrupt, because it totally is, everything you do needs a kick back to some politician or union, but we still manage to keep our trains running on a daily basis, and it's also 24/7, with free ride a couple of days a year.

  24. Re:what about hard drives on FTC Warns Manufacturers That 'Warranty Void If Removed' Stickers Break the Law (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    What part on the inside of a hard driver are you actually going to replace yourself? Only in some extreme cases would someone open up a drive to try to get the data off the platters on to a new drive, where would you even get replacement parts?

  25. Re:Please check your hubris at the door, Lohan... on 'GTA V' Character Doesn't Resemble Lindsay Lohan, Court Rules (rollingstone.com) · · Score: 1

    So a stereotypical video game character is similar to a stereotypical actress, wow that's such a shocker.
