  1. Re:GM just did a three month furlough on White House: US Needs a Stronger Social Safety Net To Help Workers Displaced by Robots (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    This is over capacity and has nothing to do with automation. In the US our 'auto utilization rate' is probably 1/3 what other first world nations have....

  2. Re:Hacker seems to get thrown around a lot on Russian Hackers Stole $5 Million Per Day From Advertisers With Bots and Fake Websites (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Only US advertisers are allowed to do these things.

  3. Re:So Twitter is now actively doxing people? on Twitter Will Hand Over Data On the User Who Sent a Seizure-Inducing Tweet To a Journalist (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Is there any website out there that has refused a warrant? When you expand doxing to mean just about every website on the web, the term doesn't mean anything any more.

  4. Re:Imagine the reverse on Electoral College Elects Donald Trump As President (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Could you imagine the outrage if Jeb ran his campaign with the statement "It's his turn"?

  5. Re:America hates Hillary Clinton on Electoral College Elects Donald Trump As President (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    "It's her turn" - couldn't believe how this smacks of entitlement.

    That is complete misinformation. I worked in the chemical industry and we stored sodium hydroxide in carbon steel tanks. It is completely non-corrosive to pipes. Caustic solutions are the one thing that will dissolve proteins, which hair is primarily made of and the cause of most clogs.

  7. Re:I thought it wasn't the battery per-se on Samsung Could Look To LG For Phone Batteries After Note 7 Debacle (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe better manufactured batteries don't swell at all?

  8. Re:The evidence cited seems pretty thin. on Are Psychiatric Medications Hurting More Patients Than They Help? (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    Suicide rate is twice the US in Japan and firearms are highly restricted there.

    melamine contamination causes batteries to swell

  10. Re:My current phone has 2x SIMs on Apple Explores Dual-SIM Capability in iPhones, Patent Filing Reveals (ibtimes.com.au) · · Score: 1

    Coming soon... patent on dual sd card slots

  11. Re:What facts do they base that on? on Twitter Cut Out of Trump Tech Meeting Over Failed Emoji Deal, Says Report (politico.com) · · Score: 1

    Not to mention someone attached their name to the leaks and claims it was not Russia. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

  12. Re:A $1.6M settlement for 36M users on Ashley Madison To Pay $1.6M Settlement Related To Data Breach (pcworld.com) · · Score: 2

    Nobody was cheating with anyone they were chatting with bots.

  13. So if I make a power plant more efficient I am working on climate change? This like saying helping my son with his homework is a 'drug dealing discouragement program'.

  14. They would figure out a way if the funding was cut.

  15. Working on new energy sources like solar/wind/nuclear great but why would they work on climate change?

  16. At the time that was written there was no federal government workers union. The federal government should be restricted from unions as there is no counterparty as there is in the private sector. Also the early retirement, pension and other perks that everyone else in the country has had to give up the last 30 years of globalization... cry me a river.

  17. That is a real crock if I ever heard one. I worked in an agency once and people were constantly changing position like a game of musical chairs, presumably to increase pay grades. There was no continuity at all.....

  18. It was always a dumb idea self driving modules will just be another low margin part like ABS or engine management system. Nobody gives a crap what it's called as long as it works.

  19. Re: Welcome to the Trump future... on US Life Expectancy Declines For the First Time Since 1993 (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    It's hubris to think that you can 'know' when life begins. Every line I have heard is completely arbitrary.

  20. Re:Looking forward to 1BTC/$3000 by mid 2017... on Bitcoin Hits Highest Levels In Almost Three Years (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    It is different. There aren't half a dozen articles hyping bitcoin in the news every day.

    That's always bothered me a lot that pro-abortion activists won't admit that abortion is at best in a very murky moral area and many times traumatic to women that have them.

  22. Re:Haven't been to a theater in years on Slashdot Asks: Would You Like Early Access To Movies And Stop Going To Theatres? · · Score: 2

    Saw one of the hobbit movies and swore them(theater movies) off for good. What a piece of crap!

  23. Re:I Would Rather Go To Theatres on Slashdot Asks: Would You Like Early Access To Movies And Stop Going To Theatres? · · Score: 1

    this doesn't explain suicide squad or pretty much any of the recent top grossing movies.

  24. Re:ummmm .... on Cesarean Births Could Be Affecting Human Evolution, Study Says (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Divorce rates and unwed birth are much higher among the poor. Sorry to burst your bubble.

  25. This makes no sense at all. People could save money and live at a subsistence level but they don't. They end up buying more stuff. Do you really think living in deflation will change this behavior?
