News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Not everything needs to be connected to the internet.
One of the reasons I stopped playing Pokémon GO.

Anyone who checked the origins of the company knew where this was going to go. Your data for sale.

There were already questions about what they were doing with the data of their prior game in the security and privacy space prior to Pokémon.

I’m surprised it’s taken this long to go after this.

In the name of “national security” and “protecting the children” and all.

I’m shocked, shocked I say!
>There’s a horrible sort of comfort in thinking that whatever you’ve published is already written and can’t be changed. Sometimes this is viewed as a forward-looking stance, but science that can’t be fixed isn’t past science; it’s dead science.

Actually it’s not science at all.

Phone hasn’t had a connection for hours. 5G wireless home is fine. Upstate South Carolina.
Can’t penalize a company that disappears.
It hasn’t been working anyway.

It was just more corporate welfare.

Not really shocking considering how Japan likes conglomerates.

Hyundai makes cars and military weapons and probably thousands of other things that aren’t even related to each other, don’t know if they still make computers.

Actually Games Workshop started that, probably just being accelerated by Amazon.

The last polar icebreaker built in a US shipyard occurred in 1969 or earlier.
Re:Intel is on life support. Can anything save it? on Thursday September 12, 2024 @06:18PM (#41526227)
Being worth less than your assets and liabilities is an extremely dangerous position to be in. The only reason they haven’t been bought and stripped for parts is the fact that the government probably would block it.
She told someone up the management ladder. The business is now financially libel if the situation is not aggressively corrected.

This can also apply to customers, not just co-workers.

Lawyers, good lawyers that know harassment law.

Worked for a company that had to settle a lawsuit before I started there. Management meetings every six months on this the entire 5 years I worked there, part of the settlement.

I have fired a coworker and banned a customer for this.

In US.

Re:Netflix replies to Verizon cease and desist letter on Thursday June 05, 2014 @09:05PM (#7855647)
Netflix is paying someone for their traffic. Verizon customers are paying for broadband which includes streaming movies.

The ISP need to quit whining. They need to quit trying to get laws passed in every state that keep competition out.

Re:How do i bill for open source software? on Sunday November 24, 2013 @05:06PM (#6791365)
GPL3, then charge target market for a different license and upgrades/support.

I saw someone else doing this and they said it was working well for them (sorry do not remember who).

I haven't read it yet. So they are going to get rid of the fuel tax right?

Good book. Aimed at the young adult audience, I only knew this because when I went to the store to buy a copy it was in the teen section.

I have enjoyed everything by Cory though.

This is a very very old feature of Chrome. It has been there since I started using Chrome a few years ago.

Must be a slow news day.

High-fructose corn syrup and ethanol, with increasing push back against farm subsidies due to tax payers and trade agreements, these are the loopholes used.

I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the single biggest change I have made is avoiding products with hfcs, going very well and lost 30 pounds.

Re:Why is Ubuntu not Linux and Mint is? on Monday March 25, 2013 @04:21PM (#5439464)
Link to the blog post?

Other than the default packages Ubuntu works very much like Debian to me.

As far as Ubuntu vs Mint its more like Windows 7 vs 8 for me, Ubuntu being 8. I mean with a different interface than most are used to.

It seems like Adobe has a random problem that started in August where the page you show in your image had no check box to uncheck if you did not want Chrome installed, may be part of the same issue.

It would install Chrome and/or Chrome Bar depending on what user already had.

I use Chrome on Ubuntu so do not use Adobe Flash. I have had no issues with my wifes Windows system, which only has IE and does have Adobe Flash installed.

No reason to link this unless it has been updated.
Wonder if it still applies, story is almost 18 months old.
Re:Ask HN: A service to process hundreds of checks? on Sunday November 18, 2012 @04:09PM (#4801682)
Tellers will simply check the math on the deposit slip, make sure the checks are endorsed, they use a scanner to actually process the checks.

Check with your bank. Many have policies designed to increase revenue and do things like charge you if you use teller more than n times per month.

Why are you only depositing once per month (that is what it sounds like you are doing)?

Are you in the USA?

You can get insurance for anything if you are willing to pay the premium.
Too bad, I used to work for them.

They made some major blunders (No Late Fees), you don't drop 30 to 40% percent of your revenue with no plan to replace it.

Should have launched the mail service much sooner, with 9000 thousand stores and a few mailing centers turn around time on mailings could have been comparable or better than netflix.

Rental kiosk with $ 0.99 rentals where not a problem, the fact that they did not have a Blockbuster logo on them was the problem. I don't even remember how many years it took Blockbuster and NCR to design and build a comparable machine.

When it was obvious that Netflix and Redbox were going to be successful there where still other national and regional video rental changes, I think Blockbuster could have bought both without any problems.

IMO opinion of course. I liked the job, it was fun.

Re:Thanks For Reading: 15 Years of News For Nerds on Monday October 01, 2012 @11:10PM (#4600472)
My biggest complaint about /. is through a combination of other sites it takes a half a day or more for stories I'm interested in to hit it, so by the time they are there I have already read them. The comments there add very little to the conversation imo.
Re:Why Apple will move away from Intel and towards ARM 64 bit on Tuesday September 25, 2012 @04:29PM (#4572499)
Maybe.

Based on the current revenue breakdown I think the only reason Apple still makes computers is the margins they get. If they got the margins a lot of other pc makers get they would have killed the computer side already.
