Umm, the summer is almost over.
The ncaa is just legal slavery. That includes college baseball.

Yea... the moment the author used iGen they lost all credibility.
Yes, but a lot of the statements Keeper is upset about are the same ones the engineer reported.
Why go after the journalist instead of the engineer who found it? The engineer also posted the vulnerability.
Re:Show HN: Ethereum Canvas – Draw on the blockchain on Wednesday December 20, 2017 @03:52PM (#15973698)
That makes no sense. I am saying this is a scam to get Ether quick and cheap. There is no need to put a drawing or a love note on a blockchain, and me making something better won’t stop people from getting scammed by stuff like this.
Re:Cryptocurrencies Are Illegal Lotteries on Wednesday December 20, 2017 @06:28AM (#15968717)
Not all cryptocurrencies use a proof-of-work to validate blocks. So even if someone wanted to make the stretch and say a PoW is an illegal lottery that doesn’t mean every cryptocurrency is.
Re:Show HN: Ethereum Canvas – Draw on the blockchain on Tuesday December 19, 2017 @04:24PM (#15964435)
I don’t see what’s so cynical? There are a bunch of pointless Ethereum contracts made to get Ethers quick and free. This and crypto.love are dumb as hell and shouldn’t be posted on here
It’s also the boss’s job to pay them. So why do I have to pay for the cold steak, and then pay the restaurant’s employee? That is not my job.
This is all BS. Twitter has to prove they will enforce their policies, which means banning Trump. Twitter doesn’t have the guts to do that. Yellow-bellies

Why?
I can guarantee kids watch more porn now at a younger age than they did in the 70’s and 80’s.

Hmm take advice from the greatest author of the last thousand years, Stephen King, or someone who has three books I’ve never heard of?
So the banks make shady moves and need a bail out because of their bs. They get the money, and since they just got caught, and actually use it the way it should have been the whole time. From that they made a profit. Technically, wouldn’t they have made more profit if they had been behaving the whole time? So technically they did lose money.
Not true. When you make a HTTP REQUEST, you’re not accessing a piece of private property. You are requesting information. Just because it is requested doesn’t mean it has to be served.
Make it fair then! Bots can’t scrape LinkedIn, and LinkedIn can’t sell any consumer data to third parties.
The gaming “culture” ain’t got nothing on Twitter.

Basically, any platform a person can hide behind a screen is going to have toxic people. Gaming is a lot better about keeping the community in check than ANY social media company.

Or if a person likes to travel. Just because the area a person works/lives is relatively cheap doesn’t mean the hotel in Paris or the flight to Hawaii is any cheaper.

But they are already pulling strings just to slap each other and using us as pawns in the process. At least that’s the picture Mr. Robot is painting right now. It does have its dark moments, but I think it’s dark because the world it portrays isn’t that far off from our own.
Re:Bitcoin terrifies me on Friday December 08, 2017 @03:08PM (#15881576)
If you truly believe the 1% don’t know how to stay on top and pull strings so they always win then you’re dreaming.

It may just be a TV show, but Mr. Robot touches on this subject. Give it a try

Re:Bitcoin terrifies me on Thursday December 07, 2017 @07:25PM (#15875647)
If you’re talking about the 1% they aren’t worried. The banks may have regulations, but most banks are owned by the Rothschild family. They can invest however they want since they are individuals.

Try to avoid double negatives.

... because you don’t understand it?

It’s common knowledge people fear what they don’t know.

Re:U.S. Tax Expert Caught in Surreal Green Card Trap in Denmark on Thursday December 07, 2017 @12:51AM (#15867915)
Move back to the US and ignore the charges. If they don’t want your knowledge and help then blacklist them. Our current “president” is America first so they’d have to start a war to do anything
They should have speakers on the birds so every time they collide with a drone the speaker shouts "FALCON PUNCH!!!"
Perfect! This is exactly what America “needs”

It’s easy to be nice after a person has made big bucks by cheating everyone. Watch “Pirates of Silicon Valley”
