capsulecorp··on China’s Breeding Giant Pigs That Are as Heavy as Polar Bears
Totally agree, they should have measured it in golden retriever units. This giant China pig = 15.74 golden retrievers! /s
capsulecorp··on Paypal Withdraws from Facebook's Libra Cryptocurrency
About #1 Bitcoin is decentralized, there is no "office to raid", so whoever said that doesn't know what they are talking about in the least bit.
capsulecorp··on SNES Cartridges and Enhancement Chips
Why does ADHD prevent someone from making a blog post, and how does posting it on twitter change that? Sincerely curious.
capsulecorp··on How Men’s Bodies Change When They Become Fathers
If men care and they are the ones making the decision to settle down, then it has everything to do with it.
capsulecorp··on Juul, Philip Morris Sued Under Racketeer Act for Targeting Kids
I looked at the synonyms and I have to disagree with your opinion. Can you elaborate on which synonyms gave you this impression?
capsulecorp··on Malicious apps infect 25M Android devices with 'Agent Smith' malware
Exactly.
capsulecorp··on Malicious apps infect 25M Android devices with 'Agent Smith' malware
What if you don't live near an apple store? Why not let the user manage their own battery, that is also not a terrific challenge.
capsulecorp··on Malicious apps infect 25M Android devices with 'Agent Smith' malware
>but it wasn't done maliciously.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion.

capsulecorp··on Malicious apps infect 25M Android devices with 'Agent Smith' malware
>which extends the life of old phones.

Except they were caught purposely throttling older phones with those updates, not exactly what i'd call extending life.

capsulecorp··on BMW CEO to quit after carmaker loses early lead in electrics
I don't think BMW started an EV division to take on the prius though (I could be mistaken). The point being that Tesla is forcing the industry hand to move faster than it would on its own. That isn't to say the Prius didn't have an impact but Tesla carries significantly more weight in catalyzing progress than the Prius.

Interesting, where do you hail from?
capsulecorp··on Turo and Getaround Get Heat From the Rental Car Industry
>Words have meanings for a reason.

Yep and just because you don't like them doesn't mean you can change them. Share is being used correctly and you have a massive misunderstanding thinking that it has something to do with the company profit, but it doesn't. Not interested in continuing discourse with someone who is willfully ignorant, go believe what you want I couldn't care less. Cheers!

capsulecorp··on Turo and Getaround Get Heat From the Rental Car Industry
That is incorrect, it may be what your kindergarten teacher taught you was the nice thing to do, but it doesn't make it the definition of the word.

share /SHer/ verb 1.have a portion of (something) with another or others. "he shared the pie with her"

synonyms:split, divide, go halves in/with;

edit: seems like a lot of people have the same misconception that sharing implies free of charge, here is a link to the definition for those who are unfamiliar: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/share

capsulecorp··on Turo and Getaround Get Heat From the Rental Car Industry
No lets not, the term makes perfect sense how its being used. It has absolutely nothing to do with how much of a cut the business takes, not sure where you picked up that impression but its not correct.
capsulecorp··on Pilotwings demos act differently depending on when the cartridge was made
I enjoyed this but I hate twitter as the delivery method for things of this length. Its a terrible way to digest the content.
capsulecorp··on Things Got Weird for Stablecoin Tether
>But it seems unfair to hold Tether up to a higher standard than even our most established banks.

As others have pointed out, this is a standard Tether set for themselves so how is that 'unfair' at all?

capsulecorp··on The yodeler who sued Yahoo
I don't think I would want to stop that.

I will always pronounce Jason jah-son, and you cant stop me. Jah-son Fruit.
capsulecorp··on We Don't Have a Talent Shortage. We Have a Sucker Shortage
>In short, if this post is representative of the way workers are thinking and communicating, then we do have a talent shortage, it's just not the talents you're thinking of.

Cute and snarky, but lets not misdirect. The article isn't a representation of how people communicate to REASONABLE employers, so your comment doesn't make much sense. Its in response to the pervasive disconnect that is prevalent in the current hiring industry.

And if after that clarification you still think the article takes an unjustified tone, I'd say you are just as much a part of the problem.

capsulecorp··on An app that limits technology in online dating
I've witnessed the same unhealthy obsessive behavior in Women.
capsulecorp··on BlackBerry cofounder Jim Balsillie is sounding the alarm about surveillance
>The onboarding process for developers was painful and their devices were chronically underpowered.

I can resonate with this. I worked for a major bank developing their blackberry app. It was amazingly painful to develop on their platform, its a literal mess.

capsulecorp··on China says it wants to eliminate Bitcoin mining
Correct, just as California isn't the only place you could mine gold. But you were making a correlation between Bitmain and the goldrush tool vendors. The goldrush happened for a larger part in California and there is pretty much zero dispute who bitmain/china is in that analogy. Why are you backpedaling?
capsulecorp··on China says it wants to eliminate Bitcoin mining
Yeah but if California banned mining in the state during the gold rush, not many shovels or picks would be sold.
capsulecorp··on The high speed of society has jammed our internal clock
I have to agree with you. Same issue with slow drivers, its really a matter of consideration not speed.
capsulecorp··on Nuclear power is the fastest way to slash greenhouse gas emissions, decarbonize
Exactly my point, I don't know, and it isn't "obvious" as he claims. For all I know its the equivalent of infowars, skepticism is my default position, like it or not.
capsulecorp··on Nuclear power is the fastest way to slash greenhouse gas emissions, decarbonize
>But having grew up there I obviously read up about it a lot

I disagree, what you read isn't obvious and still doesn't qualify you to speak on the matter unless it was legitimate and vetted information. Reading a bunch of infowars doesn't make me a legitimate political commentator.

capsulecorp··on Nuclear power is the fastest way to slash greenhouse gas emissions, decarbonize
Not to be rude but that seems like a silly qualification to be speaking on a matter. I grew up next to a Lockheed factory and my father worked for NASA, but I fail to see how that qualifies me to comment on what a "realistic" solution for interstellar travel would be.
capsulecorp··on Nginx Is Giving Away a Free O'Reilly Book on Cloud Native Devops with Kubernetes
Im glad its an eBook, not a book. Since I work in tech, I am excited that its a eBook that I can search through easily rather than having to spend tons of time bookmarking and flipping through pages hoping to find what is relevant when I need it. Paper books have some novelty value but I much prefer the utility of full text search when its time to get something done.
capsulecorp··on Uber Revenue Growth Slows, Losses Persist as 2019 IPO Draws Near
I can't speak to that, I didn't invest in UBER or follow its financials. I just enjoy the huge convenience and overall greatly improved experience they have provided me over using taxis, so that is the answer I provided.
capsulecorp··on Uber Revenue Growth Slows, Losses Persist as 2019 IPO Draws Near
Progress won. It is infinitely easier, more affordable, transparent, convenient, and the overall experience of riding uber is hands down better than any Taxi experience I've ever had by a an extremely long shot, anyone I've spoken to agrees. Sure there are still improvements, but all in all, as a frequent user, I have to say getting a ride is hands down better with uber than before it.
