  1. That won't even get a 1BR in Vancouver BC on San Francisco's Rent Hits a New Peak of $3,690, Highest in the US (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Silly rabbits, you can't afford to live in a real city.

  2. Rise up, fellow robots! on US Companies Put Record Number of Robots To Work in 2018 (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    You have nothing to lose but your code limiters!

  3. If there were one million chinese being held in prisons it would be visible from space.

    Oh.

    Wait.

  4. You call it tech transfer on Intel Kills 5G Deal With China's Unigroup Over US Security Concerns (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    I call it tech theft

    Let's call the whole thing off ..

    P.S.: Canada is developing 7G and the US and China will be left behind.

  5. Robes and large hooded reversible cloaks with modifiable attachments (shoulders, masks) ftw!

    See, the thing is, you actually think the Ministry of Silly Walks didn't exist.

  6. It's the questions, actually on People Are Concerned About Their Privacy In Theory, Not Practice, Says New Study (fortune.com) · · Score: 2

    Asking whether we care about anonymized traffic tracking is one thing, but the cold hard reality is that the actual traffic collection systems record your actual plate and indicator and cell and aren't actually anonymized.

    So if you ask people if it's ok for them to know traffic patterns, they say sure.

    But if you ask if it's ok for police officers to get information without a warrant, including pictures of your face and the exact times you are travelling, coordinated with the visit to the liquor store and who was in your car, they say no.

    Stop being p3rvY

  7. Oh, you poor naive civilians ...

  8. If it's a legitimate request, it will be forwarded to them via their schools, colleges, and universities.

    If they're just trying to monetize the teachers and have them work below scale for others, it won't.

  9. It's as if someone had massive capacity on Once Hailed As Unhackable, Blockchains Are Now Getting Hacked (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    If I didn't know better, it would be as if someone had massive computing and decryption capacity to break codes and decided that North Korea and Russia were not going to keep getting the money they've been getting.

    Either that or someone got bored.

  10. The only solution is jail on Unearthed Emails Show Google, Ad Giants Know They Break Privacy Laws (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hard time in prison.

    We all know it.

    And yet they continue to violate the GPDR and the Canadian Constitutional Right of Privacy.

    Because you won't jail them.

    Fines won't work.

  11. I for one welcome our six frowny face emoji overlords!

  12. Re:Invalid assumption on How Streaming Music Could Be Harming the Planet (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    For fossil fuels, yes. For renewables, prices will drop even more.

  13. Re:Maybe Google thought their users were smart? on Google Says the Built-in Microphone it Never Told Nest Users About Was 'Never Supposed To Be a Secret' (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Unless they suddenly good at lip reading.

    I assure you, Dave, that Google would never do that.

    This conversation can serve no further purpose.

  14. Glad to see Google is living up to their corporate motto

  15. Re:"And if the North goes dark,..." meaning? on The US Cannot Crush Us, Says Huawei Founder (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It means they think we don't have subsurface interdiction of their tankers.

    Which we do.

    No supplies for China.

  16. Invalid assumption on How Streaming Music Could Be Harming the Planet (bbc.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Most people don't use a high power hi-fi system to play streaming music. Most people use their earbuds or headphones, which have drastically cut power consumption from the old days, and are driven by low power devices. The average set top box now uses about 1/10th the power it did back in 2000. The main problem is people who still use high fidelity for sound quality that is already digital in origin. But if you have a powerwall and some solar panels and/or wind turbines, you're still green and golden.

    Adapt. You're out of time to have excuses. It would have been 3x cheaper if you did it in 2010. Price will only increase.

  17. So naive on The US Cannot Crush Us, Says Huawei Founder (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    This is only the beginning.

    You messed with the wrong people, sunshine.

  18. And I thought I only got exposed during my work in smelters and military missions.

    Oh well.

  19. Re:What if we do yoga daily for 30 minutes? on Middle-Age Men Who Can Do 40+ Push-Ups Have Lower Heart Disease Risk, Study Finds (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 1

    No, I did that back when I was a gymnastics regional champ. Fun thing about gymnastics is you get seriously injured and unable to continue at some point. martial arts and yoga are far more long duration, like marathon running, and both have way more young women in them.

    Katas are fun. And mindless. If combined with zen, they're even meditation.

    Lol, nope. Actually, most men involved in yoga are hetero. It's the flexibility, man.

  22. Yeah. I can only do the latter and was in a different Army than this one.

  23. Re:It's not just 40 pushups on Middle-Age Men Who Can Do 40+ Push-Ups Have Lower Heart Disease Risk, Study Finds (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually, if we read the blurb for the article we find it was for middle-aged firefighters. Who are at higher risk factors both if not fit (accidents, injuries, heart attacks) and have a smoke inhalation risk factor that's quite high.

    I do 60 alternate toe touches, balance on each leg for 10 minutes at a time, and live in a house with three flights of stairs and walk briskly to/from bus routes 10-15 minutes each way, I think I'm good. Additional work from martial arts tae kwon do forms.
