Really... this IoT has gotten so far beyond stupid, that at some point I'm finding it really hard not to blame the 'victims' who buy this shit. When you consider that they almost always become part of a botnet as a result,

Like actual diamonds, I'd rather wait for their to erupt to the surface, than mine through all of that dirt.

For so long, FB and that kind of social media has not only been normalized, but the people who don't use it are seen as "odd". Snowden definitely started to change that, but there is no substitute for time and experience onli

Absolutely this. Facebook is almost entirely, if not entirely, empty of anything I care about. After a while it just starts to look like a ton of people all pointing out, "Hey, look! I have an asshole!" "Whoa really? Look at

Thanks, I was wondering the issues around corrosion and servicing were being addressed. It always seemed like the best hope for a balance between a good breeder reactor, and non-proliferation concerns to me.

I seem to remember that there is a cured meat product... salami maybe, which was shown to be improved when cultured with um... baby shit. Ah yes, here it is: http://www.livescience.com/43465-baby-poop-sausage-probiotic...

Or better yet, adapt those "As Seen On TV" 'fart absorbing undies' to the task. As bonus the baristas can go back to their kale and cruciform diet, without worrying that their mighty trumpets would disturb the customers.

There's so much contained in just a few words and some punctuation. Don't worry, you'll find someone to um... fart on you.

I think it's fair to say that if you're in a position to be directly farted on by a nude person, more intimate contact has or will occur.

I'm sure that kind of thing could work, especially with the group of users here, but it would probably represent a full-time job for a mod just to police that page and make use of it. They may simply not see the benefit?

E-mail worked for me when I needed to ask them a question. The whole thing was resolved in less than a day, and it was painless. From what I've seen they're pretty active here in comments too, and seem inclined to reply to reasona

You have to assume that such a truck is constantly "phoning home" and hopefully has some kind of asset tasked to watch it constantly. Maybe the process to get in involves authorization from "home base" in the form of tha

That's not the enforcement cost, that's the potential revenue gain from increased enforcement. ...And more enforcement to increase revenue... costs... money. Which was my entire point. The government requires cooperation in your

I honestly don't know, but I'd guess that there are only so many mods, and a lot more users/posts that demand their attention. To be honest though, I base this on experiences moderating communities in the past, not particular

I'm pretty new here, so take this with a grain of salt. My impression of this place is that it's a pretty highly regulated forum. In particular, it's designed to serve the needs of YC, and is not particularly free. That'

Would Google really want to do that? It might be the impetus some people need to say "fuck it" to Google.
