Can we just stop linking to anything from Daily Mail on Slashdot. It's a rag. If Daily Mail is the best source that can be found discussing a study, it pretty much means that the study isn't worth discussing here.
"Study debunks theory that self-driving cars will make people more productive" in big bold letters at the top. No. This study doesn't do that at all.
You are trying to sensationalize to get views, Daily Mail. This should not be encouraged; not here at least. Slashdot's reader base is smarter than this shit.
"I'm pretty sure if I ever took a trip on an airplane, I'd be far too busy looking out the window making sure we don't fall out of the sky to get any work done!"
This is the next thing to verify. If auditors can't find or don't bother to record a log of her completing required training, then if you ask me, she's off the hook, and some other people should be in really big trouble. But if they do find such a log, "I don't recall" doesn't particularly cut it for me; even if she was in a massively busy position that had her dealing with tons of important documents a day. That training is paramount importance.
Why are you naming the small portion? This should be titled "51% of FB users don't give a shit about the amount of news in their feed." And then it should not be posted, because this is a completely uninteresting statistic.
You managed to get full benefits working 25 hours a week? That's a pretty sweet deal. I was just going to comment something very similar, if you're doing something like trying to go slowly into business for yourself, this option would be soooo helpful.
I agree. But the potential to make use of it may have been what motivated pushing this idea through; it may motivate what causes funds to be devoted to actual investigations. As, without investigations, this law won't result in a single charge being brought.
IANAL but, if an investigation brings up a potential crime, they may be able to take the money involved in these company's accounts via civil forfeiture. Potentially, that could make investigations not merely inexpensive, but downright profitable to enforcement agencies.
Parent is talking about highway driving....65MPH. Regen braking doesn't help you if you don't need to stop. And honestly, not stopping is going to be more efficient than even the most efficient regenerative brakes.
To be fair, the 60s Batman was pretty dumb (but I loved watching the reruns as a kid), and the 60s Star Trek was frequently straight up ridiculous. I remember The Shield generally being pretty good though.
I would love it if Slashdot had a rule to not bother with articles about companies who are still in the funding phase of their crowdfunding campaign unless the project provides detailed implementation specifics. Granted,/. isn't nearly as bad about this as many other tech reporting sites. But it's still a waste of everyone's time when it happens. And possibly worse, it grows that stupid-ass "AS FEATURED ON" list of logos that these sort of projects looove to use as false-credibility. They might as well call that section "The following websites have recently had slow-news-days and/or employ editors who don't bother to verify the validity of scientific or technical claims"
How on earth do you manage to transition from being an engineer to a dentist? Maybe the reason you never had time to take a long vacation was because you were constantly prepping for another exam!
If you get hired at a Bay-Area startup, they charge you rent to sleep at your desk; otherwise, your cube gets leased out to some other guy for the evening hours.
Yeah, Galileo is another one that people always get wrong. The pope was genuinely interested in Galileo's theories and entreated him to do a proper writeup that explains what his theory has over the earth-centric model, and what his proof was. Galileo then took this permission and used it to be an ass. That was what really got him in trouble. He had the character simplicio, the straw-man idiot speaking with the pope's words; effectively saying "lol pope didn't believe me the first time I presented my theory, not because my theories were incomplete, but because he's a friggin' dumbass."

Why would anyone sue someone who didn't have any money? That's just silly.
Rules tend to be different when it's non sexualized photos of an infant. That's likely the case here.
My god that headline was tough to parse.

This article is saying that older versions of windows won't work with new chips. It doesn't mean that Linux or OSX can't use them.

I love that absolutely everyone except the author hates this idea.

Right, this has been discussed before. I think the overall conclusion is, "fine, re-assign the tag. But at least change the icon!!"
I was afraid you'd abandoned us, NYCL! Have you been keeping up to date on the new guy's attempts to improve things around here?

No one ever makes things up on Reddit! Even if they did, surely they wouldn't delete the post and their account when the story blows up!
Ever notice that the people most afraid of new technology are the ones who don't themselves develop any of it?

Wow! David Zuckerman, the writer/producer of Family Guy is also a noted Computer Science professor...Man, a lot of the jokes make more sense now!

No no no. I will not buy this tobacconist, it is scratched.
You just fed a troll.
