  1. I switched to Mac when they started using Intel and i could dual boot linux. I'll now switch away that i can't.

  2. Realtime health insurance rate hikes on Walmart Patents Cart That Reads Your Pulse, Temperature (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Now they can sell the data to your health insurance provider to hike your rates in real-time instead of having to wait.

  3. Re: in before somebody says... on Google Promises Its AI Will Not Be Used For Weapons (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I was going to say " bullshit "

  4. Re: Promising you don't != promising you *can't* on Pornhub Launches VPNhub, Its Own Virtual Private Network App (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Usually the apps still use standard protocols under the hood. Probably wouldn't be hard to figure out.

  5. Re: Naturally? on California Bypasses Science To Label Coffee a Carcinogen (undark.org) · · Score: 1

    Personally I eat coffee beans covered in chocolate. No brewing required!

    That's okay, my bitcoin server is located in Switzerland for all my bitcoin transactions.

  7. Modular construction on Can We Live Without Concrete? (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Here's an example of what we're doing in Vancouver BC, to build low-cost housing for the homeless. These modular buildings use metal framing instead of concrete foundations: https://vimeo.com/208333352 No concrete needed!

  8. Same here, I like to know what network traffic is going on with windows for example, and block it.

  9. Backwards to me on Microsoft Windows 10 Gains Linux/WSL Console Copy and Paste Functionality (betanews.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Seems backwards to me. Windows is the shit I need to install and run in a vm on my linux machine from time to time.

  10. Re: As Currency? on Japan Could Have More Than 3 Million Cryptocurrency Traders (coindesk.com) · · Score: 1

    Banks are no better. They also take all your money on a whim. One letter from a three letter agency and your funds are frozen. Good luck paying for a lawyer to get it back. I've been there, and i did nothing wrong.

  11. Re: If you work in tech on Nearly a Third of Tech Workers Are Ready To #DeleteFacebook (betanews.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Same here, the only reason I have a Facebook account is to show potential employers I'm not too anti-social, I have cute dogs and some friends. Login once a year and like a few things. So far, I've gotten the jobs that I wanted to so I assume it works.

  12. Re: Not just sex workers, any explicitly named ima on Sex Workers Say Porn On Google Drive Is Suddenly Disappearing (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I guess if you really want to use a cloud service such as google drive, you'll want to use an app that encrypts and changes to numeric filenames.

  13. Here's a link to some of the studies : http://www.diabetesandenvironm...

  14. Lead may be a trigger in autoimmune disorders such as type 1 diabetes as well.

    Start a, new business: dummies for driverless cars to make them look like they are being driven by someone.

  19. Re:And yet... on Diabetes Is Actually Five Separate Diseases, Research Suggests (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    That's so very not true at all. For type 1 diabetes, the body produces zero insulin - a hormone required to live, without it you die. It is not caused by eating sugar, it's caused the same way as 250+ other autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis your body attacking itself - the reason for which medical science still doesn't know why.

  20. Re:Not good on China To Crack Down on Cryptocurrency Trading Loophole (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    As some countries ban crypto currency trading, they actually increase it's value. It's a sign that China will be cracking down more on getting money out of the country, people will be looking hard for ways to buy crypto in China so they get money out. Local Bitcoins anyone?

  21. Re:Clearly this problem can be solved by on After Rising For 100 Years, Electricity Demand is Flat (vox.com) · · Score: 2

    Crypto mining heats my garage in the winter.

  22. Can't wait to see a teardown of the Tesla Roaster, I heard Elon put it somewhere safe though.

    It's happened before.

  24. I saw a YouTube video on how one of these systems works. To disable you have to turn it off, put it back into drive and then back into reverse or something then it disables.

  25. Yeah, reinstalling OS X from time machine is so easy it's almost fun.
