  1. Re:Why is this uncommon? on Senior Google Scientist Resigns Over 'Forfeiture of Our Values' in China (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

  2. I'm no treehugger... on Volkswagen Admits To Testing Diesel Fumes On Monkeys (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    ...but this is sorta sickening. In the market for a new (to me) car, atm. VW's out.

  3. Is someone doing discovery better? on Pandora Loses 7 Million Listeners (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 1

    I've been a Pandora One subscriber for years. (guess that's "Plus" now) Basically just paying for no ads and a longer timeout before the player asks if I'm still listening. I love the whole discovery concept. Can't live without it. Don't really need to steam whole albums of specific playlists, I have subsonic for that. Has anyone improved on the discovery aspect? What am I missing by staying with Pandora One?

    I use it in my car to connect to my oem head unit. I use to connect to some old powered PC speakers in the bathroom. I use it to connect to aux in on a few other devices. In other words, DEAL BREAKER.

  5. Re:Woman dominated professions? on In Response To Anti-diversity Memo, YouTube CEO Says Sexism in Tech is 'Pervasive' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    "women ruled tech jobs" when smaller hands (biological difference anyone?) which were assumed to be more nimble were advantageous. Add they were expected to learn the computer only because that's what was replacing what they currently used, a typewriter.

    FYI their cancellation form allows comments. I urge you to make some.

  8. So the Maples formed a Union
    And demanded equal rights
    ‘The Oaks are just too greedy
    We will make them give us light
    Now there’s no more Oak oppression
    For they passed a noble law
    And the trees are all kept equal
    By hatchet,
    Axe,
    And saw

  9. Great Pacific Garbage Patch on Mystery "Warm Blob" In the Pacific Ocean Could Be Causing California's Drought · · Score: 1

    Could that warm spot be the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in action?

    they're not spending MY money.

  12. Re:A legislation flag? on Broadcast Flag Sneak Not Attempted · · Score: 1

    Either that, or REQUIRE that every piece of legislation be read in full on the House floor by Gilbert Gottfried, and on the Senate floor by Ben Stein before it gets voted into law.

  14. Read the Bills Act on Broadcast Flag Sneak Not Attempted · · Score: 1
