  1. 3... 2... 1... on Tesla Model 3 Outselling Small, Midsize Luxury Cars In US (forbes.com) · · Score: 1

    Cuing a bunch of trolls, bots, and shills to come bitch about how batteries are useless in a hypothetical climate they've already destroyed.

  2. My prediction: on With DaaS Windows Coming, Say Goodbye To Your PC As You Know It (computerworld.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    For the first time ever, Microsoft employees will be forced to actually eat their own dogfood. They will realize finally that their software is completely unmanageable. They will revolt or quit in droves. It will be an unmitigated P.R. disaster. Hundreds of millions of people will give up on desktop computing altogether. Microsoft will single handedly kill their own golden goose and then flail about for someone to blame when the stock prices begin to plummet. Google will eat their lunch with cheap hybridized Android "desktop replacement" devices.

  3. Would you rather have a job, or money? on Slashdot Asks: Which is Better, a Basic Income or a Guaranteed Job? (timharford.com) · · Score: 1

    Nice try assholes. You want us to choose between a job or money? I'm not gonna fall for that trick. You think I want to be guaranteed a job without being guaranteed the money? I'll take the money instead, thanks.

  4. Are you kidding me here? They've known since the company's inception that most the traffic was coming from bots and most of the advertising revenue was paying for bots, and in some cases even paradoxically being also sold by bots. That was the business plan the entire time. You can't be mad about them lying as though it's some fresh new thing. When it became apparent to the rest of the normal people that banning all the bots would cause a corresponding drop in traffic from aforementioned bots, you shouldn't be surprised they continued to just lie about it while cashing out stock on the side. This isn't even a shitstorm for them. This was "Plan A," also known as a huge success.

  5. Re:And this is a problem why? on Facebook Finally Discloses Pro-Brexit Ads (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, of course. But that's how it works. Interesting that in trying to bring up an inflammatory point to attempt to prove (perhaps more to yourself than anyone else) that there's some sort of "moral equivalence on both sides" you've latched onto an idea that nobody was even contesting. Yes, of course the anti-brexit ads were also the same sort of schadenfreude peddled by the exact same shills. That is how this works. They ramp up divisiveness by escalating irrational insecurities of every demographic with clever combinations of lies mixed with half-truths.

  6. No, not quite what I was saying, but I like the dramatic flair your version adds.

  7. Anyone remember when I said they were at least 30% bots and when the world finds out the shareholders all take a bath?

  8. Re:The Stock Market is Fucking Stupid on Facebook Stock Suffers Largest One-Day Drop In History, Shedding $119 Billion · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Oh, you think they're stupid? If you haven't figured out by now that stock prices are entirely based on wishful thinking then I've got some bad news for you...

  9. Re:So Watson is no worse than actual Doctors ? on IBM Watson Reportedly Recommended Cancer Treatments That Were 'Unsafe and Incorrect' · · Score: 1

    12 years

  10. But I watched the pre-edited video on live TV and I can confirm you're utterly wrong. Your other two "whataboutisms" are also loaded down with misleading omissions and blatant lies. Also you spelled "Obama" with a "0," something so childish that no citizen clever enough to notice would think is actually clever, so even the implication that you're speaking in the first person as an outraged adult and patriot is a big stupid lie.

  11. Re:Personal targetting needs to stop in all forms on Facebook Signs Agreement With Washington State To End Discriminatory Ad Targeting (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I can't tell if you're opposed to inappropriate ad content or not.

  12. It was already illegal. Everywhere. The much bigger mystery is why only Washington has sued, so far.

  13. They conserve their pride first and foremost.

  14. It wasn't initially such a big problem until they changed the default behavior of write-back caching for such devices. Now days, it's best to sync && eject first. The chances of not everything finishing otherwise are higher the more data has been written to the device recently.

  15. Re:"Didn't make anyone smarter..." on ADHD Drugs Aren't Doing What You Think, Scientists Warn (inverse.com) · · Score: 1

    I just want to know how it stacks up against caffeine for the same use cases.

  16. Re:What is that bizarre feeling? on FCC Vote Likely Dooms Sinclair-Tribune Merger (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    This is nothing more than a public announcement by Pai that he is increasing his price. They'll slide him some money and he'll publicly announce a reversal of opinion.

  17. Re:Privacy is great in theory on FBI Director: Without Compromise on Encryption, Legislation May Be the 'Remedy' (cyberscoop.com) · · Score: 1

    Our government already knew everything there was to know about the 9/11 attack and chose not to act. You're a liar who knows they are lying as they are lying. Everyone here sees that. You are transparent.

  18. Re:SAY IT ALL WITH ME, NOW: on FBI Director: Without Compromise on Encryption, Legislation May Be the 'Remedy' (cyberscoop.com) · · Score: 2

    You can't compromise with reality but these people seem perfectly willing to ignore it completely.

  19. Re:how many times does this have to be debunked? on FBI Director: Without Compromise on Encryption, Legislation May Be the 'Remedy' (cyberscoop.com) · · Score: 1

    Your sarcasm is too subtle here. People are going to miss it.

  20. They just read your mail illegally, instead.

    What makes you think they actually want anyone to be able to do that? The first thing such an entity would notice is that Zuckerberg and his whole team are themselves not being genuine about their beliefs.

  23. LOL yea just wait until Uber takes a crack at this.
