  1. No, it isn't on Is It Time To Rethink the Fundamental Dynamics of Twitter? (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Unless we're talking about dismantling Twitter altogether, it's not time to talk about shit.

  2. Re:Absolultely shocking... on Congress is About To Ban the Government From Offering Free Online Tax Filing (propublica.org) · · Score: 1

    Or to quote Fry, "Bender is the evil Bender?! I'm shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked."

  3. Re:Standard of Ripping on Netflix Axes Apple AirPlay Support (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    This is the correct answer.

  5. Re:So, only lefties then? on Google Employees Are Lining Up To Trash Google's AI Ethics Council (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    You forgot to shoehorn the word 'toxic' in there somewhere.

  6. Re:What's the SQL look like? on LA County Is Using An Algorithm To Clear 50,000 Pot Convictions Faster (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    heh, my thoughts exactly

  7. Re:IF we only had an UNION!!!! on IBM Accused of Violating Federal Anti-Age Discrimination Law (propublica.org) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, no thanks. The last thing I need is to work with a bunch of no talent assclowns that can't ever get fired.

  8. Disconnect from the Internet on Airbnb Has a Hidden-Camera Problem (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 2

    Considering most (all?) of these cameras are cloud-based, and thus rely on an Internet connection, just disconnect the modem/router when you first arrive if you're really that concerned about it and only re-connect it when you need to use it for something. Problem solved.

  9. Re:I can't wait! on Swift 5 Released (swift.org) · · Score: 1

    Having the language introduce breaking changes that requires changes to your code at every new version. I never had these issues with C, C++, Java, Ruby or hell even PHP.

  10. Re:I can't wait! on Swift 5 Released (swift.org) · · Score: 2

    Well, they sure weren't very upfront about it not being ABI stable in the past. I even recall them going so far as to say version 4 would be the last version to break backwards compatibility.

  11. Re:I can't wait! on Swift 5 Released (swift.org) · · Score: 1

    Agreed

  12. Re:I can't wait! on Swift 5 Released (swift.org) · · Score: 1

    Or, perhaps they shouldn't release an unfinished language onto the world, while advertising it as the greatest thing since sliced bread.

  13. I can't wait! on Swift 5 Released (swift.org) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Oh sweet, another forced Xcode upgrade that will no doubt bust up all my app's existing code and require hours of effort to get back to where I was again! Thanks Apple!

  14. So some lazy ass manager can check on his production metrics from his couch.

  15. Well that's an incredibly simplistic approach to dealing with things.

  16. Sweet on CSS To Get Support For Trigonometry Functions (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Now, can we get support for doing basic shit like being able to calculate the height of a dynamic element without having to resort to javascript hacks?

  17. It does to casual users. You know, the vast majority of the population?

  18. God, so happy we switched to Slack for video conferencing. The Skype for Web app has been a total shit show every time I've had to use it, whereas Slack just work.

  19. Ain't that the truth. Jeez, I remember seeing many of my peers just getting handed everything they wanted over from their parents, whereas I had to work & buy anything that I wanted. I remember thinking "man, these people are going to be fucked when they grow up"...low and behold, here we are.

  20. Why the fuck is an adult (well, legally anyways) getting all this attention for doing something that adults are expected to do? I just filed my taxes, where's my standing ovation?

  21. Re:"Struggling" on Reddit Tests Tipping Users (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    LPT: if the avocados you bought are hard, rubbery & stringy, then it means they're not ripe yet. Let them hang out a bit on your counter until they ripen.

  22. Welp, guess my next TV will be from LG.

  23. Alternatives to advertising? on Mozilla and Scroll Partner To Test Alternative Funding Models for the Web (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    What, like mining cryptocurrency in the browser? If done right (it probably won't), it could be an interesting alternative.

  24. Re: Tax is for the little people on New York Mayor Says Amazon Headquarters Debacle Was 'an Abuse of Corporate Power' (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    How can ordinary citizens like you and I get the same negative tax deal as Amazon?

    Start a business and employ thousands of people?

    Doing the ethical thing and appeasing your shareholders (to who you have a legal responsibility to appease) don't always intersect, as is the case here.
