  1. This is a typical scheme where millionaires sell a bunch of their coins(or stock) to get everyone to jump out and then they buy the coins back much cheaper. Looks like it has recovered some already

  2. Good for American doctors on Foreign Students Have Begun To Shun the United States (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    I have been told more than once that American medical students are treated worse than the rich foreign students who bring in all the money. The schools can only hand out so many degrees and will always favor the money source

  3. Re: Political trustbusting on Department of Justice Considers Blocking AT&T Deal For Time Warner (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Either way, corporations that own the internet pipes (which have all the last mile connections to homes) should not be in the business of owning content. This further entrenches their monopoly on connections.

  4. The universe is infinite in all directions and time is infinite. And someone believes a simulation is impossible.

  5. A short press should pop up two choices. 'disconnect from wifi connection ' and disable wifi radio'

  6. How do they know that people that sit more are just not as healthy in the first place? What proof is there that a person that sits a lot would live longer if he got up every 30 minutes? My dad is 85 and healthy and and has always spent a lot of time sitting and reading and resting.

  7. Re: So what's the problem? on The Google Drive App For PC, Mac Is Being Shut Down In March (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    BACKUP and sync is - per- PC backup. How does it replace dropping a file onto drive and accessing it with separate tablets, phones and PC's?

  8. How does backup/sync replace drive? on The Google Drive App For PC, Mac Is Being Shut Down In March (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Right now I can download a file off the web and drop it onto my 'drive'. I can now get to this file from all my pc's, tablets, and phone. Backup and sync seems to be just for one machine and separates the machines. So I think we have lost the sharing functionality Any thoughts?

  9. RIAA MPAA on Google Drive Faces Outage, Users Report [Update] (google.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, it's the music and movie industry looking for torrents to remove

  10. How does it work in the dark? No light on the front unless the screen can fully illuminate

  11. Not even possible on Could Diabetes Spread Like Mad Cow Disease? (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 0

    If this was remotely true, then everyone would have diabetes by the age of 60 with all the food and exposure.to this protein. My dad is 85 and is still diabetes free!

  12. Re: camel camel camel on Amazon Jacked Up Prime Day Prices, Misleading Consumers, Says Vendor (foxbusiness.com) · · Score: 1

    FYI For some reason Camel doesn't seem to include prime day prices(or lightning deals) in the history. Not sure why but may have something to do with the way the prices on prime day show as a subtraction(lightning deal) from the regular price. So Camel may not pick it up. For example these binoculars were 50 dollars on this last prime day. But camel says lowest price ever was 59 dollars https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod...

  13. What happens if you miss a payment or stop all-together? Does the program stop working? I'm guessing the cloud storage might stop allowing new files but who knows

  14. Guess what the first thing that will be canceled when the economy goes sour. Car payment or Office 365 payment?

  15. Re: Warning to All Athiests on Former Oculus Exec Predicts Telepathy Within 10 Years (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Stronger vs what? All currencies are losing value big time. Compared to real assets like homes and new cars and food and college tuition, the dollar is losing value quickly. If it was getting stronger, tuition would go down for once

  16. My employer and I paid into SSI, so this is not a universal income.

  17. Re:It will also require a change in law on There Is a Point At Which It Will Make Economical Sense To Defect From the Electrical Grid (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    In many municipalities, being grid connected is required for occupancy. In fact there have been a number of stories of governments condemning "off grid" homes even though the home had all the amenities that a grid connected home has.

    how would the municipality know you are grid connected or not. You just call the power company and say you need power shut off because you are moving. They will shut it off almost immediately and you don't need to turn it back on ever

  18. Re: So, uhhh on Chinese 'Fireball' Malware Infects Nearly 250 Million Computers Worldwide (thehackernews.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Did you read the article? This will indeed install on your patched systems because it comes as a payload with freeware software that the users install. So Malwarebytes is exactly what is needed to find and remove it.

  19. Re: There's a fine line between helping and enabli on Microsoft Co-founder Pledges $30 Million To House Seattle's Homeless (cnn.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Either put up your own money for letting people live for free or be quiet about it. Like I said its easy to be caring when its not your money. Like others stated, this will just attract poor immigrants and others who will get used to living free

    To liberals everything is great if someone else is paying for it. Why don't you house them and feed them and pay for their medical bills and children when they have them.

  21. OS / Browser on Windows 10 Will Soon Run Edge In a Virtual Machine To Keep You Safe (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    remember the days Microsoft said they cannot separate the browser. now they are forced to from a security standpoint

  22. Industrial network on Research: Industrial Networks Are Vulnerable To Devastating Cyberattacks · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I work in a multiple plant system with geographic separation. Each plant operates independently. But its the geniuses on top that believe we need to some day run all plants from one location. (They also want to be able to see all the plants from anywhere). So we can very secure by keeping each industrial network separated and completely disconnected from each other and the outside world, OR we can make all plants vulnerable by interconnecting them and allowing big shots to see the plant operation from their phone.

  23. Wifi Calling! on T-Mobile Smartphones Outlast Competitors' Identical Models · · Score: 1

    T-Mobile has Wifi calling. It turns off the Cell radio and uses WIFI for calls. This is one likely reason Calls are made through a router 50 feet away instead of a tower a mile away.

    I thought Electrolysis splits water into Hydrogen H2 and Oxygen O2. There would be no carbon involved
