  1. Re:Not real news on Solar Powered Smartwatch Successfully Crowdfunded on Kickstarter (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    This is the truth about so MANY kickstarters these days.

  2. Re:Are you shitting me ? on Equifax Had 'Admin' as Login and Password in Argentina (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    While true, it's at least generally VERY difficult to hide that you've ripped a zipper open...

  3. Re:MAGA on Equifax Had 'Admin' as Login and Password in Argentina (bbc.com) · · Score: 0

    How is this marked a troll? it's a perfect representation of the US

  4. Greed is King on Why Must You Pay Sales People Commissions? (a16z.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sales commissions are used to breakdown moral conventions using greed. A person might not be willing to normally lie to a client or sell them some shit they don't need. But once they get used to the bonuses, they'll do anything to keep them coming in.

  5. Maybe if the person already as the aptitude on Do Code Bootcamps Work? (inc.com) · · Score: 1

    But if they do, they probably already taught themselves to code and are making 6 figures.

  6. Stupid idea good rinse. on As Coding Boot Camps Close, the Field Faces a Reality Check (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Even the IDEA that most people can code is STUPID. Coding requires a certain mindset, and critical thinking skills that MANY people just don't have.

    The idea that anyone code makes as much sense as saying "Anyone can win the Olympic Long Jump!"

    These schools took advantage of people's desire to improve their lives.

  7. Re:They should repeat this study on Roku Is the Top Streaming Device In the US and Still Growing, Report Finds (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Care to share these things that happened in Q1 2017?

    I don't own one so I'm generally curious, especially considering the current priate device of choice is the "Fire Stick"

  8. Re:Getting kinda old news on SpaceX Successfully Launches, Recovers Falcon 9 For CRS-12 (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Actually the shuttle spent MANY years as old hat. It after the first 3-4 years it only really made the news 3 times. The two explosions and the last missions.

  9. Re:No Real Mystery on The Ghostly Radio Station That No One Claims To Run (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    If it would have been silent for 26 hours!!!!!

  10. Re:Incompetent? Or 800,000/yr oversupply? on India is Betting On Compulsory Internships To Improve Its Unemployable Engineers (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    this, I don't know but sounds like a shit load of engineers.

    Ok a quick google search shows the US graduated 99k in 2014.... So India is producing EIGHT times the number we are.

    I think we found the issue.

  11. Re:Outrun the t-rex... on New Research Shows Humans Could Outrun T. Rex · · Score: 2

    Plot twist, the T-Rex's vision is motion based, so he can't really see the still one.

    So he goes after and eats the one running.

  12. Re:what else do you think it does? on Ask Slashdot: Is Password Masking On Its Way Out? · · Score: 1

    With shear number of electronic devices the interference would be insane in today's world.

      Plus, I don't think LED's give off electronic signals, at least not anywhere near a CRT with 20,000volts running through a coil.

    Still I've never even heard of that attack vector... off to google for me.

  13. Re: 10 ways to get funding on NASA Finally Admits It Doesn't Have the Funding To Land Humans on Mars (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    of course there is... there just get called "randoms" not terrorists... "Dylann Storm Roof" is a classic terrorist....

  14. Re:And in other news... on NASA Finally Admits It Doesn't Have the Funding To Land Humans on Mars (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    umm what? you can't go else where if you destroy your launch point...

  15. Re:The interesting part on 3 ISPs Have Spent $572 Million To Kill Net Neutrality Since 2008 (dslreports.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    That a poor analogy.

    A more correct one would be "You can't drive on our toll road because you are driving a chevy"

    the IS NOT about paying for faster access, This is about them choosing what you can download/watch/stream/play

  16. Re:The New Formula on The White House Now Has Zero Science Advisors (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You don't believe that? do you? wow....

    FYI, there's so much "charitable" giving in the US because we don't take care of basic needs...

  17. The real question... on Developers Who Use Spaces Make More Money Than Those Who Use Tabs (stackoverflow.blog) · · Score: 5, Funny

  21. From the land of duh? on CC'ing the Boss on Email Makes Employees Feel Less Trusted, Study Finds (hbr.org) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Of course, it isn't meant to make them feel trusted.

    99% of the time I cc' my boss it's because the co-worker is trying to get me involved in something I shouldn't be, or make a "end-round" my boss.

    I don't have time for that shit.
