  1. Mine seems to work well on Stunt Woman Tests Apple Watch With Violent Fake Falls (hothardware.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Iâ(TM)ve had mine for a couple of weeks. Iâ(TM)ve had one false fall detection happen when I was using my fist to literally hammer together an IKEA style bookshelf. The high G impact was enough. Iâ(TM)ve had one real detection when I went down hard riding my mountain bike. In both cases it alerted and asked if I needed help. BTW: Iâ(TM)m seeing two solid days of battery life even when using GPS and heart rate monitoring for multiple hour rides.

  2. The same FBI where the number two man was just fired for lying about leaking? The same FBI where the man who was the number one guy just confirmed he leaked?

  3. Not tech savvy? You have a strange concept of what qualifies as tech knowledge and ability. This is a guy that can literally design and build complex electronic from scratch. He can/has written firmware and software for said systems. Being aware of some scam has nothing to do with tech savvy.

  4. Re: Maybe... just maybe. on Apple To Review Software Practices After Patching Serious Mac Bug (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Absolutely! Every PC laptop has a direct PCI ssd that can read at 3GB/s and has 4 40Gb external connections that can also drive multiple 4K displays. /s

    Itâ(TM)s true that passenger trains are relatively limited in the US, the freight network is huge. It carries far more tonage than all the rail lines in Europe.

  6. Re: 2/3 of browsing or 2/3 of sales ? on No, the Linux Desktop Hasn't Jumped in Popularity (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    This has to be the stupidest assertion ever made. Is there some non-zero number of Android users that technically knowledgeable? Of course there is. Is there some non-zero number of iOS user that are as well...of course. Is either number more than a tiny fraction of users? Absolutely not. Your premise is weak.

  7. Re: Government Healthcare on Tribal 'Sovereign Immunity' Patent Protection Could Be Outlawed (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I spent a decade receiving my health care from the Air Force. Itâ(TM)s true that for some things itâ(TM)s very good. For other things, especially chronic problems, itâ(TM)s not. It would not translate all that well to the general population.

  8. eDirectory! on Ask Slashdot: What Would You Pay To See Open Sourced? · · Score: 1

    There is still no other LDAP directory close to it. Having a fully capable directory service available open source on Linux could change the game.

  9. Re: Labour Protectionism is not the answer on New Data On H-1B Visas Prove That IT Outsourcers Hire a Lot But Pay Very Little (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm solidly a free trader...but your working from a bad premise. I'm a consultant that works with companies of all types, including the big tech companies, and my experience is that overall fewer than 2 in 10 H1b workers are "highly skilled". It's really unbelievable how bad the situation is.

    Most iPhone users have no idea any of those exist. They click on the Messages icon and then send their message. That message defaults to iMessage if the recipient has an Apple device and drops back to SMS if not. There is no way any other messaging platform comes close.

  11. Re: An unfortunate use of technology on America's Cars Are Suddenly Getting Faster and More Efficient (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Fortunately, turbo tech has improved as well. Modern designs have surprisingly little lag. The Ford EcoBoost designs are especially good.

  12. What you saw was a fraud. There is nowhere in the U.S. where employers are not required to be fully insured for such accidents. Even if the person had to pay on their own, the normal process would be for the hospital to do everything possible to save the fingers. They would then write off any loss or apply to one of our many charities that help cover the costs in cases like this. One of the reasons healthcare is so expensive here for those that can pay is because we subsidize those who can't.

    Whats that got to do with their objective of world domination? No doubt they are batshit and have no inhibition to killing anyone, including other Muslim sects, that disagree with them.

  14. Re:Tradeoffs on 'No Turning Back' on Brexit as Article 50 Triggered (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Fortunately, the old testament is history and not the current doctrine of Christianity. Your also ignoring the fact that you would have a very hard time finding any Christians that believe it is their duty to conquer the world. You will have no problem finding Muslims who believe it is.

    You seem to willfully ignore the statements in their holy books, the statements of their clerics, and the actually beliefs of a majority of Muslims.

    You do realize that virtually all US homes are connected to multiple phases of 120 volt power and have those phases can be connected to outlets providing 240 volts and typically 30 to 60 amps. Nobody has to charge their EV at 120/15.

    Ok, lets assume your premise is true and there is an over-population problem. How exactly does UBI act to solve that problem? It would be treating the symptoms and not the disease. In fact, it would be more likely to exacerbate the problem.

    If your so literate you should have no problem understanding Federalist 29 and 46 in which the author of your quoted text explains what he meant. As the supreme court ruled..it is an individual right.

    Bullshit. It's virtually impossible to function in modern society without ID and the states moving to require ID have gone to great lengths to make getting that ID as easy as possible.
