  1. Re:Market Saturation BHAG? on Microsoft Starts Selling Lumia Windows Phones Again (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    They stayed committed to xBox and became profitable. My guess is there are too many bean counters running microsoft now.

  2. Yes, they are holding it wrong!

  3. Yup launch was just before releasing record losses for tesla...

  4. Re:Stones from glass houses on YouTube CEO: Facebook Should 'Get Back To Baby Pictures' (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    trying to cater to little kids and telling the other 90% of the world to screw off is their first mistake

  5. each speaker has a few micrograms of Steve Jobs ashes emitting a reality distortion field

  6. I don't even care if other people see the dislike thing... just create a algorithm to filter out junk

  7. Re:This surprises you how? on Facebook Lost Around 2.8 Million US Users Under 25 Last Year (recode.net) · · Score: 3, Funny

    they should rename it 'myspacebook'

  8. Re:Oh well... on Russian Nuclear Scientists Arrested For 'Bitcoin Mining Plot' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    One of the reasons to pay people in trusted positions a good salary is to to keep them on the straight and narrow. I doubt these guys were paid very well.

  9. There is no need to wonder. TFA states it tops out at product manager.

  10. FTFA: Note that in this report, the definition of “tech workers” refers to software engineers, designers, product managers, and data analytics roles.

  11. They mention product managers but I would guess Director/VP are not included... that would keep the averages low.

  12. Nobody puts new research on wikipedia, it is just used to cite other sources. Whoever wrote the article has zero understanding of what is in Wikipedia or how scientific papers are written.

  13. Re:There's no quality control on Internet porn on Pornhub Is Banning AI-Generated 'Deepfakes' Porn Videos (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Think about what all of the stuff you don't see on these sites (like ever) and the idea that there is "no quality control" appears ludicrous.

  14. Re:There's no quality control on Internet porn on Pornhub Is Banning AI-Generated 'Deepfakes' Porn Videos (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    You are deluded... these guys are making millions hosting legitimate porn I am sure they are taking down literally hundreds of videos every day with unsavory content or copyright violation. What exactly do you mean by quality control?

  15. How am I saying this is better? I am just explaining what happened.

  16. That's not what is happening here. People will set up account recovery with their phone used as a relay for a recovery pin. Most likely he has some kind of online wallet linked to it.

  17. Re:Itunes just sucks on Apple Music Was Always Going To Win (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Trying it once and saying 'FFFuuuuccckkk this' is hardly get wrapped up. True story!

  18. Re: Preinstalled app used more than 3rd party on Apple Music Was Always Going To Win (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Because people that pay for streaming music on a phone are tiny subset of phone users and are more common among apple users.

  19. Re:Death penalty on Wells Fargo Hit With 'Unprecedented' Punishment Over Fake Accounts (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Bullshit they did nothing when this news broke. If they fired board of directors, hired private PI and asked LE to prosecute the offenders I might care about investors. This is what might actually have happened if they thought liquidation was a risk.

  20. Re: How odd, 'cuz our PS4 sucks. on Sony's PlayStation 4 Has Nearly Outsold the PlayStation 3 (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I've always had audio sync problems with ps4 media player i still use ps3 to play movies

  21. I think this is some kind of bot posting.

  22. Columbus really was a scumbag, even for his time.

  23. Re:Most info is already available on High School Computer Science: Look Ma, No Textbooks! · · Score: 1

    This is true about almost any established subject.. texbooks are basically a money making scam for schools.

  24. So just because. Got it!

  25. It will be true the next 30 or so years in the USA and many other countries at the current rate of investment. How is this disingenuous?
