  1. Re: The headline is missing three words on As Value of Cryptocurrencies Falls, a Lot of New and Risk-Taking Investors Are Suffering Immensely (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    It may have been a Freudian slip or possibly even recursive (don't know, just woke up) but the morons who come up with the headlines ARE nobodies, so their surprise is likely...

  2. It's at the point where it's not just Amazon to blame; we've been informed enough that those of you who choose to still support this evil monstrosity and give it their business have a shitload to answer for as well.

    ...an AI

    One would almost think the writer was quoting Gibson except this is ZDNet so literacy is quite ruled out.

  4. So, Saint Louis "University" admits to the world that A) they're entirely irrelevant and B) they clearly know it, but C) are unable to think of any solutions to the problem other than unimaginative gimmicks that'll drive the "institution" into further irrelevance.

    This is, of course, a real shocker to the rest of us.

  5. In the last few months, Uber bought a startup that rents electric bicycles, invested in another one that rents electric scooters and went to work on its own scooter-rental business.

    Those desperate, incompetent motherfuckers...

  6. Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi] Khosrowshahi is pouring large, undisclosed sums of money into food delivery, logistics and autonomous-car technology.

    "Throw shit at wall; see what sticks." -Unimaginative moron with finance degree

    It really amuses me to watch these VC's incompetently try to monetize every aspect of our fucking existence... they won't be happy until they're the middlemen making 25% on all our transactions coming and going.

    Fuck 'em with a huge stick... bigger even than they enjoy.

    Do we not remember how scummy PayPal was when he was there?

    No, "we" don't; we do, however, remember how shitty PayPal turned after they were bought up by eBay...

  8. They might just as well lock everyone up in advance, just in case.

    This is them installing the locks right now.

  9. Re: not all doctors make $150k on NYU Offers Full-Tuition Scholarships for All Medical Students (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    So you're not able to address any of the points that were made, yet you felt a compulsive need to reply anyhow... impressive.

  10. do they ever really innovate?

    They might argue that imitation is its own form of innovation. They may not have a cultural preponderance towards originality (understatement of the fucking century) but you can't say they're not efficient.

  11. Re:Fuck Apple on Did Apple Secretly Crush An App Store Competitor In Japan? (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    they are dishonest, greedy, litigeous, and they lie, cheat, copy and steal just as much as they accuse others in court of

    Yeah, but they're edgy and progressive and wholesomely-gay and fabulously artistic; all the things Apple needs to be to marketable towards those who have a profound urge to blow their money in accordance with the expectations of their peers.

  12. Damn; well said.

    If this keeps up, we may even have to take you off "broken clock" status...

    ...and would be happy to see both their conspiracy theories banned as fake.

    I wish they'd ban chemtrails as fake; I'd like to see the skies go back to looking the way they did before 9/11...

    If they want to end up a Chinese vassal-state like Tibet or Xinjiang, sure. If not, they'd best keep up.

    Wouldn't hurt you to keep up, either. ;)

  16. Re:I agree on India To Launch First Manned Space Mission By 2022 (hindustantimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry but doesn't America have much more urgent things to take care of such as universal health care and drinkable public water in Flint rather than space exploration (sorry, I mean "Space Force").

    Literal answer? "Not necessarily."

  18. It is likely that such brazen violation is not even against the law.

    The law must change.

    So, the law - which you're not at all sure of - must change?

  19. Amen. Disrespectful fuck.

    Why don't all American hackers get together to hack the election and get some ridiculous clown elected as president...

    Why? They didn't need to; Hillary came along. (I don't know anybody that voted for Trump... but there sure as fuck were a lot of legitimate votes against "Cankles McKlanswoman.")

  21. Re:KMFDM said it on Should the US Air Force Bomb Forest Fires? (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 1

    Seriously, wild forest fire areas are hard to clear of human presence in advance due to their unpredictable nature.

    Sounds like a self-correcting issue. ;)

    In the eyes of the law, it might hold a different definition...

    Rest assured it does not. (While I'm certainly Not A Lawyer, I'm not so sure that Bethesda's "attorneys" are, either.)

    It's going to be tough for a tiny boutique operation to even *influence* the standards uses by the auto industry...

    It requires much more configuration than they could possibly ask for from the average person.

    If by "much more configuration," you mean that the telcos could offer that functionality through the installation of a single app, I'm sure you're right.

  25. You're claiming that if Musk had worked something out, you'd be sure to know about it?? Shut it, clown.
