  1. AC really meant "most energy dense fuel".

  2. Re:Smoke and Mirrors because RSA = broken already on Quantum Computer Not Ready To Break Public Key Encryption For At Least 10 Years, Some Experts Say (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    there are a limited number of prime numbers currently known, roughly 2 billion

    Totally wrong.

    Look at just the approximate number of 2048-bit primes which is in the range [2^2047 ... 2^2048-1].

    Approximate number of primes less than x is x/ln(x)

    So, we have (2^2048-1)/ln(2^2048-1) - (2^2047-1)/ln(2^2047-1)

    Which is ~ 1.14 x 10^613; a truly monstrous number.

  5. Re:Not with the kiddie porn on the blockchain. on Twitter CEO Says Bitcoin Will Be the World's 'Single Currency' In 10 Years (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    I am noticing this too. Any story on bitcoin sends the low UID accounts into fits of rage. It's their way of rationalizing missing the boat on, what might be, the greatest wealth transfer in history. It's either that or early onset dementia.

  6. Re:ICEs and petroleum need to go away on Turning Soybeans Into Diesel Fuel Is Costing Us Billions (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Because that is heavy handed and idiotic.

    Don't think about legislating ICEs away until some common sense things are true: EVs are half the price they are now, have robust charging standards and charge stations are more numerous than unicorns.

  7. Re:Bitcoin was barely usable all year. on Bitcoin Watchers Running Out of Explanations Blame Slump on Moon (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    No, because of it's unfortunate name. It will forever be associated with the fundamentally broken bitcoin.

  10. Re:Biometrics are not passwords on 10-Year-Old Boy Cracks the Face ID On Both Parents' IPhone X (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    The FBI are lying. They can 'crack' touchID. If the suspect is alive you can legally compel a fingerprint; if the suspect is dead (and the authorities didn't obliterate the suspect) all they have to do is go down to the morgue and open the device with the dead finger. This is all about a power-grab and the MSM is publishing anti-crypto propaganda to soften up the public's opinion.

  11. Your post boils down to "I don't like what this guy thinks so let's shoehorn and frame his character in a unflattering way and attack that."

    You never refute his argument in a rational way which makes you sound like a pseudo-intellectual.

  12. Re:Reaching the "unbanked" on Amazon Launches Amazon Cash, a Way To Shop Its Site Without a Bank Card (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Seriously, how many Americans are "unbanked".

    We have enough illiterate morons to fill the grand canyon.

  14. The idea of Rust is cool but in real life it sucks

    - Is a Mozilla creation -> strike one
    - More articles written about it than there is code -> strike 2
    - Unsafe Rust must be used extensively in any sizeable project which renders all proselytizing about memory safety moot -> strike 3

  15. Re:Bad mood on How Wiretaps Actually Work (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    This. All this procedure is bullshit theatre to make the masses believe there is justice. They do whatever they want including murder and starting illegal wars over bullshit. #Vault7 is proof they want omnipotent control over all communication so dossiers can be formed to blackmail and intimidate all persons who may try to rock the boat.

  16. Re:A lot of negativism is totally gratuitous on Tech Reporting Is More Negative Now Than in the Past (betanews.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sounds like he is just miffed that "journalists" are editorializing science and technology articles. This is a prime example of the trend TFA is talking about.

  17. The Snowden leaks showed us that the NSA uses lying, misinformation and subterfuge as its three main weapons. They have zero credibility and anything they publicly state are lies until proven otherwise.

  18. "Guys! To turn the ship around, let's compete directly with the mobile device market that's been drinking our milkshake for the last ten years."

    Nice knowing you Nintendo :(

  19. IMHO on Super Mario Is Coming To The iPhone (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple must buy Nintendo. It's the only way for Nintendo to survive. I say this because their upcoming console looks like another disaster.

  20. So, you choose to remain optimistic because a fiction book you read once described something similar? I hate to break it to you but the tooth fairy, santa clause and reaction-less drives do not exist. The sobering reality of humanity is that our fleshy bodies are stuck in this solar system until our species ceases to exist.

    Or we can fix the actual problem instead of going for the UBI band-aid. Just tear up all the free trade agreements and tariff imports so all the unemployed/discouraged will be able to find jobs again. Fences make good neighbors.

  22. Re:pointless stupidity on New Air-Gap Jumper Covertly Transmits Data in Hard-Drive Sounds (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Think about what we've all learned from the Snowden leaks. We now know the federal government will stoop to utterly insane levels of paranoia to spread their reach. I would not put it past them to do something like send Microsoft an NSL which forces them to include a DiskFiltration feature in all OS disk drivers just in case they ever encounter a difficult air-gapped target.

    Thank %DEITY% for the hacking community who I'm sure will get to the bottom of their insane bullshit with disassemblers and packet sniffers.

  24. "Telemetry! Telemetry! Telemetry!" seems to have been the decree screamed from the ivory tower of MS leadership to the devs crafting Win10.

    Seems like desperate flailing to maximize profits from the terminally declining Windows hegemony.
