  1. Re:I love that: on The Firestorm This Time: Why Los Angeles Is Burning (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Just as is the case with the fossil record, the preservation of soil traces is often the result of fluke events. So it's hazardous to try to extrapolate from it. You can end up with a 'survey' of the past that is inaccurate, based on a few quirky samples.

    What's distressing is how much damage phrases like 'the science is settled' does to the actual promulgation of the Scientific Method.

    We've gotta wrest the mantle of Science back from these AGW witch doctors.

  3. Re:AGW is not testable on The Firestorm This Time: Why Los Angeles Is Burning (wired.com) · · Score: 0

    By 'on record' you mean since instrumentation you'll acknowledge as 'valid and scientific' has been developed. Hence, about 150 years back. That's a shit-poor data set for 'since forever' judgements.

    Noxious flatulent gas clouds are flammable and prone to flare up. Avoid that risk by banning cloudflare from your world.

    Greed is what drove Intel to produce the i4004 microprocessor.

    Actually, more like Magic The Gathering cards.

  7. Re:If it creates a worldwide non-government on 'Bitcoin Could Cost Us Our Clean-Energy Future' (grist.org) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There have been utopian no-government proposals in the past.

    People always show up, and when enough people have arrived, they need to be governed.

  8. Re:Is there a way to do real work? on 'Bitcoin Could Cost Us Our Clean-Energy Future' (grist.org) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You can always do your cryptocurrency computation only in the winter, in a northern climate, and use the heat to warm your house.

  9. Re:Always Been A Cure on 'Watershed' Medical Trial Proves Type 2 Diabetes Can Be Reversed (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    'Rigorous proof' requires dissection of the test samples after they have been used in the experiment.

    Just felt I needed to add that to counter the way you are stuck on your definition of 'healthy practices.'

  10. Re: I fully expect... on 'Watershed' Medical Trial Proves Type 2 Diabetes Can Be Reversed (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    There are numerous documented lifestyle choices that are proven to lead to cancer.

    We had a life span of about 30 years for those thousands of years.

    Here, have a non-anonymous post identifying Apple as a shit stained marketing operation.

  14. Re:Your Government outlawed BEER. on 'We Could Fund a Universal Basic Income With the Data We Give Away To Facebook and Google' (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Beer is just an obsolete form of water purification.

  15. Re:How is this legal? on Trump Is Looking at Plans For a Global Network of Private Spies (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    It's legal to make up whatever you want and slap it as an article on a website. Especially if it's highly partisan and will bring in lots of ad impressions.

    Or did you mean the made-up bullshit? The legality of that is really kind of irrelevant, since it's just Trump Derangement Syndrome ranting. Fools can gibber, it's even sometimes therapeutic.

  16. Re:Everyone but trump on Trump Is Looking at Plans For a Global Network of Private Spies (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    Nobody would be this stupid. That's why it's made-up bullshit.

    Slashdot has become the digital National Enquirer. What a shame.

  17. Re: trump dat bitch on Trump Is Looking at Plans For a Global Network of Private Spies (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    No, you're just an idiot A.C. crapflooding Slashdot.

    Why is this even a topic on Slashdot? More clickbait from mishmash? I looked at the article and it appears to be a spun up fabricated nothing-burger. Not even credible enough to be buzzfeed fodder.

    Have you really sunk this low, slashdot owners?

  18. Re:Holy shit on Trump Is Looking at Plans For a Global Network of Private Spies (vice.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Trump needs to flush the scum out of the existing Intelligence Agencies, not attempt an end-run around them.

    America needs Mueller to get flushed down the partisan waste-hole. If there must be investigations, they should be conducted by impartial parties, not political gamesters.

  19. You're making MOSSAD jealous. And numerous private intelligence gathering organizations.

  20. Re:Security Risks on Should Apple Share iPhone X Face Data With App Developers? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Right. So biometric data should only be freely available to be used for rigorous fool-proof tracking. It shouldn't be used to authenticate. Somebody could sneak on your phone and ruin your Angry Birds score!

  21. Re:If this was a Pixel on Should Apple Share iPhone X Face Data With App Developers? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    To the contrary, there are Google and Apple, both of whom there is no reason to be particularly trustworthy of. Apple isn't a special kind of evil that Google is not.

  22. It only shares the data with binaries that the developers created.

    Nudge nudge. Wink wink.

  23. Whoops. If the 3D data can easily be recreated from multiple photographs of your face, then anybody with a bunch of photos of you can crack into your phone?

    So that 24 hour window is no problem.

    Are there any third-party web-pages that are out there with links, recommending 'upgrade to the new MacOS 10.13.1' that have ads displayed on them? I would like to purchase some ads.

    This is Slashdot. We are the nerds. We know that Hillary's Giant Reset Button was not connected to anything important. Ms. Clinton doesn't even know what a reset vector is, nor how to code up from one.

    For that matter, most Slashbots don't, either, but that's okay. Timers don't need to be set and interrupts masked, when you're just a slinger of jabbascript drivel.
