  1. Cue in greedy insurance companies digesting that data and kicking off their 'ai' designed to ramp up premiums. Excellent.

  2. Great on A Robot Has Figured Out How To Use Tools (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    It won't be Skynet, It'll be hordes of robots armed with vacuums, drills and hammers that'll destroy the civilization

  3. Re:The moon: A ridiculous liberal myth on Moon Landing By Israel's Beresheet Spacecraft Appears To End In Crash (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Wow!
    Let me guess... medication malfunction?

  4. OK, how about the actual shooter? on California Man Sentenced To 20 Years In Deadly Kansas 'Swatting' (fox4kc.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How long did the guy who actually pulled the trigger and sent the deadly bullet get?

  5. You're a dope.
    Let it go and move on to the Zucktard camp, they're making room for people like you in the line.

  6. Re:I disagree on Lessons From Six Software Rewrite Stories (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    As a consultant - we are ALWAYS right :)

  7. Mr. Tesla! on Wireless Tech Company Finds Way To Charge Drones In Flight · · Score: 1

    Hello, sir!

  8. > Many of them would move their operations to other countries before they let any government access to their computers.

    Hopefully.

  9. Due Fortnite?
    Proofread your posts @msmash

  10. Hey, he provided legit links sto back up his story, why the downmods, peeps?

  11. How about we give FB 4 minutes to stop and think about itself?
    Should help everyone.

  12. Re:Yes and no on Slashdot Asks: Are DevOps, Agile, and Lean IT the Same Thing? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    This.

    They do work well together. But only when implemented correctly across the org.
    Most of the time it's just blind leading the blind down another dark corridor, while singing the songs of Agile, DevOps, shared responsibility while forcing shit culture on everyone under a new label.

  13. Re:of course it is on Google's Smart City Dream Is Turning Into a Privacy Nightmare (engadget.com) · · Score: 3

    Precisely.
    I do not understand what kind of gullible moron would think, even for a second, there wouldn't be serious privacy implications stemming from the arguably largest data collection company being the de-facto owner of the project. It's mind-blowing Toronto people would fall for this.

  14. Welcome! on Apple Just Killed The 'GrayKey' iPhone Passcode Hack (forbes.com) · · Score: 0

    Today's edition of slashdot: "Everything mobile - phone edition"

  15. Re:AGAINST Civil Liberties Union on ACLU Demands DHS Disclose Its Use of Facial-Recognition Tech (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Why is this marked as 'troll'? The guy is making a valid point. What's becoming of /. is slightly unsettling.

  16. They should sue their lap dog Ajit, or never pay him again. He obviously failed to deliver *every* state, the lying bastard.

  17. The logical conclusion is that office clerks in Spain have too much time on their hands and tend to toy with iPhones while at work.

  18. Are you sure he actually owns the terrain and buildings, not a line of credit?

  19. Re:Skype Is Dead on Microsoft Will End Support For Skype Classic In November (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    This is just a (more) aggressive data grab:
    - we store everything for you so you can search it
    - we let you record everything, we'll also sit on the recording data and mine it for whatever we can
    - we let you add contact details, so we can better map out messages and voices to real people ... but we care about your privacy and security.

    Then they'll force cortana on it to try processing in (near)real-time.

    Fuck Microsoft and the pony they rode in on. I'll be moving my parents to something else and deleting skype in the weeks to come.

  20. Face Recog poops the bed on Delta Computer Glitches Force Flight Halts Third Year In a Row (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Great! Let them bring in face recognition dependency into the mix and they're sure to prop up competition stock.

  21. Re:Ok, this isn't funny anymore on Trump Ups Ante on China, Threatens Duties on Nearly All its Imports (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Why is this ^^ not modded at least 'informative'? WTF?

  22. Re:maybe they should ban comuters too on Facebook Bans the Sale of All Kodi Boxes (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    This.

    If you have points - consider modding this up, please.

  23. Another reason to nuke social media profiles, if you have them.
    This is only going to snowball and eventually become very difficult to opt out of, if there's no meaningful legislation.
    I am not holding my breath for that though.

  24. They are just that. See who supported Ajit's musings, the dismantling of Net Neutrality. Fuck these guys, fine them to death.
