  1. Meanwhile... on Tesla Model 3 Outselling Small, Midsize Luxury Cars In US (forbes.com) · · Score: 2

    ...Pickup Trucks are crushing all of them put together.

  2. Anyone storing private information is liable 100% for its unauthorized release.

    They would be completely on the hook for compensating any losses and remediating any financial fallout.

  3. Re:"X-as-a-service" on Ford Plans To Spend $4 Billion On Autonomous Vehicles By 2023 (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I"m really surprised at the number of slashdotters who are into this self driving car thing when they have seen first hand how unreliable and fucking stupid Computers/Software can be.

    How much money has Microsoft spent on Windows?

    How many times do you have to restart it during the day?

    That's your self driving car.

    No Thanks.

  4. Pornhub vs Youtube on Google Has Made YouTube Slower on Edge and Firefox, Mozilla Alleges (neowin.net) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Pornhub wins every time.

    Loading speed, Video smoothness, lack of interruption.

    Every time Youtube content gets the spinning circle, I check Pornhub...Yep, smooth as silk, or a freshly shaven...

    Then YouTube tries to blame my provider.

    Pornhub is the Future of the Internet!

  5. Re:Don't all call centers have this already? on Google is Building 'Virtual Agents' To Handle Call Centers' Grunt Work (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure they don't do that because I swear at every one of the mother fucking pieces of shit VM things and all they do is ask be to press 9 to repeat the options, then say goodbye.

    User:
    Hello, Google?

    Yes, why was my video taken down?

    Google AI:

    Because you are a racist!

    Goodbye, Nazi!

  7. Seriously, it seems as if we are in an age of excess hardware capabilities.

    Your "power user" isn't playing crazy hardware killing games on the laptop.

    It's like when you demand high and higher horse power cars and eventually end up with a 750 HP Shelby GT 500 or an 800 HP Demon. So you can get from 0 to 45 MPH or even 65 really fast.

    Sure, Win 10 will suck up CPUs for eye candy, but all that power has provided very little visible benefit to your average user.

  8. Re:Legalize poaching to protect endangered species on Lawmakers, Lobbyists and the Administration Join Forces To Overhaul the Endangered Species Act (nytimes.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is the result of poachers.

    Not Dentists paying $50k for a Trophy Hunt.

  9. Re: Phew... on A Fifth Undocumented Cisco Backdoor Has Been Discovered (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2, Funny

    I released an app to production last week and damned if some stupid back door spontaneously showed up.

    I swear I didn't put it in.

    Maybe it's the compiler, eh,?

  10. Nothing wrong with... on State Senator Wants A Law Forcing Bots To Admit They're Not Human (brisbanetimes.com.au) · · Score: 2

    ...any artificially generated post, story, anything else to be preceded by, "This content was artificially generated"

    Ya, pretty much. Doesn't work for a manufacturing facility unless you have split staffs

  12. Re: Slashdot, please help clean up Slashdot on ESO's Very Large Telescope Now Delivers Images Sharper Than Hubble (eso.org) · · Score: 1

    AC means no consequences for posting spam, stupid shit, attacks, etc.

    Pseudo-anonymous at least have a mechanism to punish those behaviors, even rating comments at -1 initially, something that ACs avoid.

    Of course using your real info is just insane for all the reasons you mention.

  13. Re: Slashdot, please help clean up Slashdot on ESO's Very Large Telescope Now Delivers Images Sharper Than Hubble (eso.org) · · Score: 1

    What's more chilling?

    Not being able to post anonymously or having a moderation system that is an invitation to abuse?

  14. Maybe... on Why Startups Aren't Pushing the Feds To Break Up Big Tech (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    ...start ups have aspirations to be as big as Google one day and don't want the precedents set that would prevent them from obtaining their goal.

  15. No.

    Clearly it is a case of us not throwing enough virgins into the volcano.

  16. Re:The EU may not be perfect.. on The EU Would Very Much Like Airbnb To Know That the Rules Are Different in Europe (fortune.com) · · Score: 2

    Never used AirBnB.

    If this is how they operate, I'm not likely to use them ever.

  17. Re: What Individual Privacy Rights? on A Student Was Rejected By A College Because Of China's 'Social Credit System' (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Who defines bad behavior again?

  18. Ironically, Student Aid is mostly responsible for ballooning college costs.

  19. Re:Alloy contamination of scrap on Lockheed Martin Creates Its Largest 3D-Printed Space Part To Date (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but dealing with minor contamination like this can't be as expensive as digging it out of the ground and then processing it.

  20. If any part of this case relies on the examination of the DNC servers by Crowdstrike then any half competent attorney could take it apart.

    1. The server will need to be provided for examination by defense experts.
    2. The chain of custody is non-existent.

    No server, no evidence. No evidence, no conviction. Even then the lack of any chain of custody calls into question the quality if any evidence found on it.

  21. Re:Surprise! on The First Real Boom in Virtual Reality? It's Pornography. (wsj.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I believe Porn has led the way in leveraging technology in one way or another since the beginning f time.

    I bet the first Cave Art was probably of naked women. but it was erased by someone's mother.

    Shoot yourself.

    You'll feel better.

  23. Has anyone told Youtube that virtually anyone can post anything on any topic on Wikipedia?

    It's hardly what could be called a, "trusted source".

    Maybe you should have considered the ramifications of smearing yourself in chocolate and prancing around in a speedo at your 12 year old daughter's birthday pool party.
