bimr | 6 years ago | on: Iran has discovered an oil field with an estimated 53B barrels of crude

You mean the Iran flare up?

Modern wars are not political, they are theatre to distract from the real goal, pillaging by the crony capitalists.

Just look at how many times they've tried to trick Trump into war. 1) The White Helmets faked a chlorine bomb in Duoma, then 2) CNN faked a Venezuelan military revolt, 3) also framed Molotov cocktail attacks, and 4) the Hawaiian nuke warning was faked. And now, 5) Iranian terrorists just waltz through security and set off an explosion at a US embassy.

If you want to talk about Iraq, then you'll have to go ALL the way back and look up Building 7.

bimr | 7 years ago | on: Prions, Nearly Indestructible and Universally Lethal, Seed the Eyes of Victims

On the contrary, this falls within Nassim Taleb's Minority Rule. Prions, being nearly indestructable, are an intransigent minority that will eventually hold sway over the rest of us.

Many on this board point to the inelasticity of their transmissible potential and call this fear-mongering. However, it is that same inelasticity that makes them intransigent. Once they have compromised an instrument, that instrument will remain compromised until each prion has specifically been destroyed. When you pair that intransigence with its lengthy incubation period, you actually have a force multiplier that, while not viral, would be scary enough to change behavior.

Fortunately, the article hints that retinal scans may eventually be used for initial diagnosis.

bimr | 8 years ago | on: File metadata in last year's DNC leak suggest it wasn't a remote hack

Interesting how much comment hype was on these boards when everyone felt safe to jump on the Red Scare Bandwagon, but now that the story falls apart those same commenters are crickets ... I would have expected better from Hacker News.

But a solid thanks to the Forensicator for doing the math that all you "Hackers" skirted

bimr | 8 years ago | on: T-Mobile adds 1.3M customers in Q2, continues to grab wireless share

If T-mobile has a weakness, it is not signal strength. Coverage maps are a red herring. If you look at AT&T coverage in SoCal, you would think that they have it on lock. However in Downtown LA, AT&T is atrocious, and T-Mobile is stellar. Even if signal is weak where you live, T-Mobile was the first to unlock WiFi Calling for its phones. They even give you an awesome router for your home. If somebody is telling you that T-Mobile coverage sucks, its because they have no other complaints than this subjective opinion. Remember, coverage = Your Mileage May Vary

bimr | 9 years ago | on: Google Flights will now tell you when fares will increase

The original service was called Farecast before Microsoft bought them. It used to be very good, but the prediction info gradually became marginalized. We may never know the truth, but it feels as if Microsoft caved to pressure from the airlines.

bimr | 9 years ago | on: Wikileaks: Julian Assange's internet access 'cut'

Such an apologist. NY Times sent stories to Hillary for pre-approval. I worked in journalism. In my time, this was a scarlet-letter offense. The conspirators should be black-balled from journalism.

bimr | 9 years ago | on: Wikileaks: Julian Assange's internet access 'cut'

Nope, you nailed it. You've read enough of our prostitutes to correctly identify the state of US journalism. Fortunately, they should be completely ineffectual very soon thanks to efforts of my write-in presidential candidate Wik I. Leaks

bimr | 13 years ago | on: Frameworks Round 3

Oh. Didn't make the connection that APC was on for Codeigniter, Laravel and the other frameworks.
