    Person of Interest left us with a fascinating new way of looking at AI

    The only difference between those two shows is a laughtrack. They're both CBS trash. It's not like this was the last season of Justified or Boardwalk Empire.

    As Snapchat userbase grows, Twitter CEO calls his service “confusing”

    Snapchat definitely has major issues. It was a great idea. Was, past tense. At this point, it doesn't even work for me on the strongest 4G mobile connection, wifi only, which defeats the entire purpose of a mobile phone application.

    Page Six says Disney wants reshoots on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

    I would totally pay to watch that movie.

    Experts call Olympics “unethical,” want them moved/postponed—CDC disagrees

    That's a pretty disingenuous headline for this article. The CDC are the experts. Whether some random talking heads are engaging in fear-mongering to get more public appearance fees is irrelevant to the issue.

    Marijuana social network is denied listing on Nasdaq

    So you would also defend a social network for heroin traffickers and gunrunners?

    Space experts warn Congress that NASA’s “Journey to Mars” is illusory

    Equally important is getting the ivory tower people to understand that if we haven't found life on Mars yet, there's nothing there to worry about "corrupting" with terrestrial contact. We can't afford, as a species, to just keep sending unmanned probes decade after decade with no progress...

    New 3D-printed 9mm semi-automatic pistol debuts

    Google Maps wasn't specifically invented to kill people.

    Senators blast Comcast, other cable firms for “unfair billing practices”

    He is a socialist that has admitted to just adding the Democrat label to his campaign so he can run under their brand. That doesn't make him a Democrat anymore than he would suddenly be a Republican if he labeled himself under their party.

    I am weirdly excited about this new Seth Rogen space comedy

    It's like someone with zero comedic timing, delivery, or acting ability doing a bad imitation of John Belushi. And then he throws in pot references to get social media buzz.

    Anti-swatting US Congresswoman targeted in swatting attack

    None of what you just described is "just knock on the door and ask what's up." And calling a mass murderer on the phone could easily result in "Oh, no, officer, everything's fine here. Some of my friends just all called you to prank me."

    Anti-swatting US Congresswoman targeted in swatting attack

    If the report is that a guy is holed up behind the front door with armor-piercing rounds, ready to shoot through the door, or at a window in an upper-floor, the last thing they can afford to do is just walk up to the place and knock.

    The Martian, Sherlock Holmes, and why we love competence porn

    Eh, Rey was established pretty well as being good at combat early in the movie, and her piloting skills were super rusty at first. Things didn't cross into unbelievability until she reinvented Jedi mind-tricks and fought using a light saber without any training. All that can be explained away...

    Comcast customer made bot that tweets at Comcast when Internet is slow

    I'm constantly running speed tests on my TWC connection when I can't load even 5 minute Youtube videos, only to see that while the speed is fine, the lag and jitter are at extreme levels, because they never maintain their lines. This whole problem with the major ISPs is much bigger than just...

    16 million Americans have no wired broadband access, not even at 4Mbps

    We need to remove the establishment of religion from our government-issued currency just on constitutional principles.

    The Martian, Sherlock Holmes, and why we love competence porn

    Mmm, what a slutty 10-ring. Sidenote: I'm pretty damn sure "competence porn" is just a regular porn movie where two attractive people walk into a room, take off their clothes, have protected sex with mutual orgasms, and then leave to take some showers and get dressed again. There's nothing...

    How to science up your coffee

    That's sort of how I feel about pure Kona. The only way I feel right drinking those beans is cold brewed, with nothing added at all.

    Facebook prohibiting private firearms sales from unlicensed dealers

    I'm sorry, America can't be friends with Canada anymore. First you people burn down the White House, now you flaunt your abundant supply of mint-condition bolt rifles! -unfriend-

    Facebook prohibiting private firearms sales from unlicensed dealers

    Either they are just a dumb pipe for the information, and bear no responsibility for its content.... or they censor and curate everything everyone says, in which case they are taking responsibility for every uncensored instance of copyright infringement, death threats, race baiting, drug sales...
