  1. I think you mean raindeer and bison on Cow Could Soon Be Largest Land Mammal Left Due To Human Activity, Says Study (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Both are domesticated in the US, Canada, and Northern Europe and Asia.

    They're a heck of a lot bigger than cows.

  2. We just need to rotate the view spline on 'Increasingly, People in Silicon Valley Are Losing Touch With Reality' (500ish.com) · · Score: 1

    All you have to do is rotate the view spline and blockchain the option, and everything will be left as dry.

    It's simple when you do that.

  3. Just eat lower on the food chain on Pasta Is Good For You, Say Scientists Funded By Big Pasta (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Look, the cold hard facts are that you're better off eating lower on the food chain, and especially avoiding processed foods. Mostly because they remove nutrients and add salts and other things that you should add to taste after it's been processed. The only diet that actually works even given human behavior is the MIND diet, which is the Mediterranean Influenced diet that promotes longevity and brain function.

    Stop eating the top end carnivorous fish in sushi and eat lower in the food chain, and stop frying things in fats and you'll be good.

    All studies end up showing this. It's one of our secrets in research.

  4. Always replace lawyers with AI on Robots Ride To the Rescue Where Workers Can't Be Found (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Seriously, AI lawyers are best at their jobs.

    You can tell by their success rate of 100 percent in 1 out of 1 cases they have won, and by all the threatening lawyer letters they send that say "We will replace your CPUs with peanut butter if you don't comply!"

  5. Re:Key word: touch of a button on A Florida Man Has been Accused of Making 97 Million Robocalls (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I was thinking an Iron Maiden ...

    That which is jailed shall never be permitted to access phone systems

  7. Biological warfare is typically outlawed under international law. Using biological agents to attack infrastructure rather then directly target humans is nothing new (typically food sources and water sources).

    Tell Syria and Russia that

  8. They found this on the Isle of Dogs on Scientists Accidentally Create Mutant Enzyme That Eats Plastic Bottles (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    No, seriously.

  9. Glad California joining WA and OR on California Bill Would Restore, Strengthen Net Neutrality Protections (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1

    Net Neutrality ftw!

    Nobody cares about the flyover states, right?

  10. One of my first IPOs was a shipping company on Carbon Dioxide From Ships at Sea To Be Regulated For First Time (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    Back in the 1990s, I invested in various IPOs, including firms that did shipping, but used more modern ship designs that were far more efficient than older style ships, and had a vastly reduced emissions profile as a result.

    Made a killing on that - since fuel consumption was lower and they could meet all the new regulations in a number of foreign ports on emissions and get green shipping contracts, they did very very well.

    Adapt. The world won't wait for your excuses.

    (caveat: I sold out my shares from that IPO, at a massive profit, but they're still growing)

  11. Re:Given that we know oceanic emissions create sto on Carbon Dioxide From Ships at Sea To Be Regulated For First Time (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    It's science.

  12. Given that we know oceanic emissions create storms on Carbon Dioxide From Ships at Sea To Be Regulated For First Time (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    Given the scientific fact that satellite observations have shown that shipping routes have higher levels of various greenhouse gas emissions (N04, S02, C02, etc) and that storms along these routes are increasing in strength (not frequency, climate change mostly just increases the energy involved, not the patterns), this is a wise thing to cut back on.

  13. How do we know they were stolen on 438 Bitcoins Worth Nearly $3.5 Million Stolen From Exchange In India, CSO Accused (indiatimes.com) · · Score: 1

    They could have been faked.

    In fact, if you fake a fake currency, did anything happen, other than a chain of fiddling ones thumbs?

  14. Deadend industry changes to deadend industry on A Coal Power Plant is Being Reopened For Blockchain Mining (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Won't help them

  15. I wonder where they got it from on Trade War Or Not, China is Closing the Gap on US in Technology IP Race (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh, wait, no, I know exactly where they got it from.

  16. Riiiiight.

    Like he doesn't make a profit in Germany with strict anti-hate laws or all of the EU and Canada with strong privacy rights.

    And he doesn't let FB apps track you beyond the site ... or at least did until Firefox and others started disabling his FB app tracking cookies that kept running.

    This guy must be a nightmare in a poker game, he lies so much.

  17. My gaming laptop thanks you on AMD Releases Spectre v2 Microcode Updates for CPUs Going Back To 2011 (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

  18. They already do this in Germany on Zuckerberg Testimony: Facebook AI Will Curb Hate Speech In 5 To 10 Years (inverse.com) · · Score: 1

    It's a requirement, and FB makes a profit in Germany.

    They also are being forced to comply with EU and Canadian rights of privacy.

    They make a profit there too.

    This is a shell game. He wants you to pay for him to do it, but he can already do it and make a profit.

  19. Happens all the time on Emergency Alert Systems Used Across the US Can Be Easily Hijacked (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    They keep setting it off for Seattle when something happens at the border with Idaho, more than 3 hours drive away.

    Oh.

    You meant it was supposed to be a stupid system like that?

  20. This is, at best, a half measure.

  21. But, hey, jump ship while it's sinking to another ship with bigger holes in it if you want to.

    You do realize where we get our intel from, right?

  22. W+S+B is fairly common on Your Future Home Might Be Powered By Car Batteries (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Energy shaping doesn't only need pumped water up an incline (hydro) for power generation, it can also use batteries, or even biofuel or split water into H2 and O2.

    When you combine the jagged shapes of the wind potential in many regions with the solar potential in many regions and compare it to actual demand, you find it smooths into a nice curve that closely matches actual demand, and you can start using a combination of batteries and intelligent power systems that only perform tasks during high power availability.

  23. Next is Cali on Oregon Becomes Second State To Pass a Net Neutrality Law (katu.com) · · Score: 1

    Going to California, Cali, Cali, going to California, got Net Neutrality!

    Ecotopia is here, btw, Apple just went 100 percent renewables worldwide, and we're not letting the grampas hold us back.

  24. Needs more commas on Facebook Launches Bug Bounty Program To Report Data Thieves (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    40,000?

    Look, FB, you're facing probable fines with four commas in the US and similar ones in the EU.

    Try adding more commas. I'd go for at least two.

  25. Re:Are we talking on Canada Has Pulled Off a Brain Heist (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, while you may "think" iZombie is filmed in Seattle, it's actually filmed in Vancouver BC.

    No, this is in addition to the film and TV flight to Canada, this one includes actual scientists.
