  1. Music service, yeah right, Escort service! on SoundCloud Lays Off Nearly Half Its Staff, Closes Two Offices (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    He said the company has doubled its revenue over the past 12 months -- without providing specifics -- and that the cuts put it on a path to profitability.

    So, they have finally figured out how to profit as an escort service. In my experience a majority of messages are like this, "I am sweet and sxxy ge with big heart who want to spend great time with you...", "I LOVE HAVING FUN with a REAL MAN!!!", etc...

  2. Traffic is the least of your worries... on Getting Rid of Carpool Lanes Could Double Travel Times (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Following allegations that drugged babies from poor households were being used as "jockeys," or passengers for hire

    Holy crap, if this is true I would think that congestion traffic is the least of your worries...

  3. Depicts an depressing situation on While Chrome Dominates, Microsoft Edge Struggles To Attract New Users (neowin.net) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    depicts an even more depressing situation for Microsoft. According to the report, Edge sits at 3.89%...

    when it comes to desktop operating systems, Windows has 91.51% of all users...

    Depicts an even more depressing situation for the world...

  4. Re: Fad languages don't live long on Is Ruby's Decline In Popularity Permanent? (computerworld.com.au) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ruby is the worst performer, consistently.

    Yet, in web apps, language execution speed is almost never the bottleneck, it's almost always database related, network, dns, etc.

  5. Beware LG Smart TV and Amazon Streaming on Amazon Will Offer Prime Video At Half-Price In All New Markets For Six More Months (ndtv.com) · · Score: 2

    Amazon Prime Video has four times as many films available for streaming.

    Which doesn't matter if you have a new LG or Samsung Smart TV in which Amazon Streaming no longer works... https://www.amazon.com/forum/a...

  6. No argument from the Earth on Stephen Hawking Says He Is Convinced That Humans Need To Leave Earth (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth - Hawking

    I completely agree! - Earth

  7. partially self-driving cars shouldn't exist. on Driver Killed In a Tesla Crash Using Autopilot Ignored At Least 7 Safety Warnings (usatoday.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Tesla's partially self-driving car

    A partial self driving car is like sorta being pregnant, the car is either self driving or not, any grey area = not.

    This seems like Tesla getting the public to do QA for them untill they have a fully self driving car, it's clear the public does not know what "partially" means...

  8. Oh wait. Maybe it was an inside job?

    NAYANA’s website runs on Linux kernel 2.6.24.2, which was compiled back in 2008. [...] Additionally, NAYANA’s website uses Apache version 1.3.36 and PHP version 5.1.4, both of which were released back in 2006.

    With versions like this, who doesn't have a remote shell account with elevated privileges on their servers!?

  10. Re:Just ban cryptocurrencies on GPU and Motherboard OEMs Readying Components Optimized For Cryptocurrency Mining (hothardware.com) · · Score: 2

    Don't bother with disingenuous statements about dollars being used for criminal activity.

    Oh please, I would much rather a world ruled by cryptocurrencies than the current banking system, talk about organized crime!

  11. Re:It's never their fault, of course on Movie Studios Are Blaming Rotten Tomatoes For Killing Movies No One Wants To See (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    The first Pirate of the Caribbean movie had a Rotten Tomatoes score of 79%

    Yes but it was the first one and showed a little creativity and risk taking. By sequel 5 or whatever they are up to they are just milking the same idea for profit. I suppose it's possible for it to actually be good but it's not likely. They deserve to be spanked

    Baywatch? How many times can you make a beach movie? You don't make a movie like this to compete with "My dinner with Andre"...

  12. You're going to need your credit card when you go buy more underwear after eating Chipotle. (south park)

    Yes, great insight from MBA's predicting the future.... Thanks for that.

  15. Re:This opinion isn't new and is still wrong. on 'WannaCry Makes an Easy Case For Linux' (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    Virus writers will target the largest market portion.

    Your response isn't new and is still wrong. Yes, they will target the largest OS market, yes they will probably find some exploits in whatever the market leader is. The big difference being that Linux is open source and can be fixed faster and be made more secure by more people.

  16. Yeah, I think I'm better off ignoring this prediction, although that is how I missed out on bitcoin...

  17. My plan thus far.
    1. Believe crazy man's story
    2. Sell car now to prepare for obvious and unavoidable future
    3. Purge all stocks from companies with business model based on fossil fuel
    4. Buy as much Tesla stock as possible
    5. Sit back and wait for the profits to start streaming in

  18. Cannes just became MORE irrelevant.

    FYI Cannes/RIAA/MPAA/BMG/Old Media, etc., burying your head in the sand is not the best strategy in the long run.

  19. Congrats sleuth slashdot users on Facebook and Google Were Victims of $100M Payment Scam · · Score: 2

    Should we now upvote users who figured out the companies months ago? https://news.slashdot.org/stor...

    Moral of the story, Greedy dude got caught.

  20. Meanwhile, Google has blocked mp3 search. Go ahead, type filetype:mp3 anything and see for yourself.

    That is because it would lead you off of google properties, go to youtube and search for ANY song, you'll find it.

  21. Fuck off with your feelings. This is a business, not gender studies class.

    I'd like to bring to your attention that Sam in Accounting is a blatant misogynist, can we please address this?

    Them's fighting words!

  23. Not just hollywood on Hollywood Is Losing the Battle Against Online Trolls (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    Gone are the days of 'experts' guiding content consumption. Nowadays everybody has a some sort of internet connected device and an opinion. If they can also then tap into social media and create a cause they can summon a quite a force.

    Recent non-movie events with airlines, the 'leggings' incident and United fiasco.

  24. Re:The red pill on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? · · Score: 1

    What do you mean, the "first" Matrix movie?

    Good point, there was only one Matrix movie. There were however two crappy movies with Matrix in the title which came after but they were completely unrelated in originally and quality and shouldn't be included when speaking of "The Matrix".

  25. Project Management on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Stop The Deployment Of Unapproved Code Changes? · · Score: 1

    We use JIRA but there are many ways to do this. Implement a pipeline that must be followed.

    * User creates a ticket in system (bug/issue, etc).
    * Developer works on ticket (in new branch)
    * Developer get's code review from peer
    * Developer pushes changes to staging server
    * user who filed ticket tests the change/signs off on fix
    * code deployed to QA to test change
    * QA signs off on case
    * Developer merges code from branch to master (or build release engineer)
    * code is released

    I'm sure you've found that 6 weeks is long for a "sprint". 4 weeks should be the max length. Over a million lines of code -- in existence for over 10 years -- gets updates in six-week "sprints" using source control and bug-tracking systems. But now an anonymous reader writes: In theory users report bugs,
