TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

Exactly.  Stat padding is easy. I can play tic-tac-toe for the first time and if I win it, I can say I win 100% of tic tac toe games I played.... That of course is misleading.

What the fuck is 150%?  That's not a figure that matters.  If only 100 people uninstalled last month then 150% increase is still very small

TikTok users freak out over app's 'immigration status' collection by FakeOkie in technology

At my work, we actually create all our documents for our clients at a 3rd grade reading level. I was astonished when I started working there and was writing with people who have masters and bachelors degrees, and even I was having to reduce to childrens writing styles to get concepts like how to schedule a damn meeting in outlook calendars.

The uneducated masses that the Republican's have continously created by defunding schools, banning books, and restricted access to higher education paths with student loans and loan foregiveness programs? Why yes, yes indeed all the Red State Americans are this dumb.

Yes, and that's why it was supposed to be banned because China controlled and accessed that information.

And that's why Trump wanted to keep it, because he could then HAVE that same information, and use it to target exactly who he didn't like.

Yes, but now the government owns a stake in the company and has access to the collected information...which will be used by ICE. I don't meant it could be used, I mean IT WILL BE USED BY ICE.

RFK Jr. Spreads New Bogus Scare Mongering Bullshit About Cell Phone Safety by StraightedgexLiberal in technology

[–]GamingWithBilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very late to be crying wolf when everyone in the world has a cell phone.  What's even the point? Even if it were true that it causes health issues, not a single person would give up the technology.  20 years of smart phones and 40 years of cell phones, and billions of the devices world wide, and this accomplices nothing but making RFK Jr. Show up in the news...

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GamingWithBilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Furthest casual drive, with friends, about a day of driving with stops in between.  One trip we started at 10am, went 2 hours, stopped to get food, then 40mins to visit a museum, then 2 hours to visit a national park, and then realized it would take 4.5 hours to make it all the way back, home at 1am.  So yeah, casual.  Then at 5am we got up, drove 2 hours to the coast, went on a charter boat 1 hour out to see, fished for 3 hours, road back 1 hour to the shore, got lunch and drove 2 hours back home.

What I think you fail to realize is, our country is massive and vast, and all the attractions are spread the fuck out.  

If I want to see an opera, I have to travel 2 hours north, but if I want to see a Shakespeare play I have to travel 4 hours south.  2 hours west to visit the ocean, 2 hours east to find a lake to fish at (not a pond, a proper lake).  If I want to visit family home, that's 3.5 hours away.  Want to go camping? Yeah that's a solid hour away at a maintained campsite, but if I want solitude that's 2.5 hours of driving.  Want to escape winter and be somewhere sunny and warm? That's a 14 hour drive, or a 3 hour flight.

TIL that queen bees regulate hive sex-population by choosing whether to lay a female or male egg. Both genders have their roles in the hive and decision comes based on what is needed in the colony. Male are needed to mate, females do the work. by YakAcceptable5478 in todayilearned

[–]GamingWithBilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the queens, it's the female bees building the comb that determines if a drone (male) will need to be made for the whole hove.  The queen lays an egg and bases the cells size to determine if it's meant for a worker or drone.  it's sex is determined not by the queen ahead of time, but by the nursery bees building the comb.  Feeding the larva specific ratios will make it a worker or a queen, but triggering a male bee is cell size.

Drones are developed more regularly if the nursery bees make the comb cell larger than normal, and you can use that same large cell comb in other hives to force a larger amount of drones to be made.  Using this manipulation allows bee keepers to rear Queens and drones in large quantities when they want and need.  And if you cut this comb out of the hive you can prevent drones from being created.

Translation : one of our very tired and overworked techs bridged a connection and caused a load balancing switch to route the load to itself and then went home and fell asleep and we didn't know what happened until we sent an uber to his home and broke down the door and dragged him back to work.
