This is unbearable. For one thing this same story was at the top yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5967695 And more importantly it's painful listening to a bunch of computer programmers spout off about p

First: what does this have to do with technology? Second: damn right Germany shouldn't trust us, because the world doesn't trust Germany and hopefully it never will. It doesn't bother me in the least that we're keeping

What are the chances of getting a standard battery size in these things? I'd be a shame for stations to need a hundred different batteries for every make and model.

These slides? http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/06/07/t... ; They look like they were made with MS Paint. CNET and James Clapper says this is all bullshit. Maybe we should st

Well done guys! Quite an achievement turning a site for so-called smart people into one dumber than the Drudge Report in only two days.

CNET is claiming the Washington Post & Guardian stories were wrong and the whole thing was based off a leaked Powerpoint document. James Clapper said the stories contained numerous inaccuracies but didn't specify. This whole thin

Techcrunch knows nothing, if this is really going on it will be confirmed by someone within one of the companies forced to implement it within days. As of now I doubt that it is, I think the Washington Post got it wrong. Does anybody thin

And no matter how smart the crowd here is when it comes to technology, discussing history or politics here is like talking to children. Many of the comments around here today sound like they came from the Drudge Report. It's embarras

How old's your partner, I've known two people who escaped from East Germany and one from Romania. I asked them all about what it was like living there & how they escaped because of course I'm an asshole American and all I got was the th

Bullshit, 'the Stasi"? Go talk to somebody who lived in East Germany. And they catch people all the time trying to get bomb materials, how did you think they were doing it, luck? (In the case of the car bomb in Times Square you're right,

I'm just happy someone found a productive use for Facebook. But right, it can't be kept in check because it will bleed out into other areas of law enforcement. Then we hit back. But I do think people's thermometers are good enough to kn

I hate to be this guy but there are people lighting off bombs out there and as soon as a big one goes off people will demand they do a lot more than this. Would you rather have your Facebook scanned or see a car bomb go off in Times Squar

Devil's advocate, here: As long as it's restricted to terrorism investigations I don't care. If it stops bombs from going off go ahead and snoop through Facebook's database, big deal. If it ever trickles down to DEA or local police then it'

No kidding, do they think Verizon doesn't keep track of your phone calls? What the NSA did isn't illegal and it certainly isn't new.

It's not an ad machine, it stores your face and personal information and that data will be sold as a service as soon as things start to look bad for them. Nobody cares about personalized ads on the internet, they care that in a few years t

Volume's turned up & it's definitely not on silent mode but the default alarm isn't going off, it's just vibrating. iPhone 4 with the newest version of iOS (I think). Edit: it goes off if the app is closed, if it's open it doesn't.

Ah you got my 99¢. Nice idea but needs some built in alarms! If you don't have anything in your iTunes library there's no sound, it doesn't even beep.

With any deep color get that paint & primer in one stuff at Home Depot. I'm no pitchman but it's saved me a lot of time & money.

If you want your barn to stand out against a green field you paint it red because that's the complimentary color of green. If the field were yellow you'd paint it blue. Pretty simple explanation when you think about it, no need for astrop

Eh, maybe but I doubt it, they could have used multiple coats of whatever color they liked. But farmers might want to draw attention to their barn and the best way to do that is paint it red so it clashes with the green all around it becau
