  1. Culture? on Why the Swiss Still Love Cash (bbc.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Like Japan, Swiss is a safe country of very disciplined people, who tend to be more conservative, i.e. repeat the pattern of their elders. And both countries do love cash.

  2. w o o o o o o s h!

  3. used ones you mean.

  4. Wow! He destroyed one Mac!

  5. Have you even seen Netflix Japan, with most nudity blurred out? Even boobs can't be shown in Japan.

    a 14 USD charger from a no-name Chinese company being better than the original Apple charger? Sounds totally plausible, sign me up! Not.

    Maybe people look at the ratio quality / price, not only quality?

  10. Re:You need to understand the reviews on Scammers Are Buying Thousands Of Fake 5-Star Amazon Reviews -- on Facebook (thehustle.co) · · Score: 1

    What I do first, is read the 1 and 2 stars comments. There are a few obvious fakes, or comments from people who don't understand what the review system consists of.
    But usually it gives a fair impression of what is wrong with the product.

    why can't Amazon detect obviously fake reviews?

    Because fake reviews are usually positive, five stars. It tends to make people purchase more (because most people don't know or care much about fake reviews).
    And I'd like to remind you that Amazon first objective is to sell, not to ensure reviews and comments are safely true.

  12. Re:No, that's Godzilla on Dragons, Nuclear Weapons, and Game of Thrones (thebulletin.org) · · Score: 1

    Going... outside?? with all these zombies??

  13. At the macro level, Google/Alphabet is very intentional. When Google wants to get a thing done, it is very effective. Mistakes happen, but when you see a sustained pattern of "oops" and delays from this organization

    It seems only your 3rd statement is true nowadays.

    the undead have one and they are blazing a path south

    Was wondering, though, shouldn't these creatures fear the warmth in the South? Like polar bears fear global warming?

  17. A program that works even when no one use it!

  18. Re:A limited number? on Microsoft Says Some Webmail Accounts Were Compromised (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    It seems all but one were compromised (Nadyella uses his Gmail account).

  19. Re:A fail will not change their beliefs on Flat Earther Now Wants to Launch His Homemade Rocket Into Space (phillyvoice.com) · · Score: 0

    I thought these people strive for stardom, but they actually really believe the Earth is flat. Great and scary documentary ; it shows how people can be stuck into thinking something, despite the evidence. Religion?

  20. Researchers should work on something else on Researchers Develop AI To Predict Hospital Readmission Rates From Clinical Notes · · Score: 2

    an AI that given a bunch of symptoms, blood analysis, weight loss / gain, ... can tell you a narrow list of diseases you might have ; that would surely beat the best human specialists.

  21. Not US money, this is a European project.

  22. If we had a decent moon base, it would have scope that never had to wait for clear weather

    Yeah, but the moon is farther away

  23. Re: Just one problem on Sony Creates Colossal 16K Screen In Japan (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Looks like the anonymous coward had no idea how crappy the resolution of human eyes actually are.

    The brain helps to give the impression that human eyes have infinite resolution.

  24. Re:Migrate from what? on Apple Providing Free Data Migration With a Mac Purchase or Repair (macrumors.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Will they cover the data migration from my PDP 10 tapes for free?

    It's not mentioned. So you could ask Apple to migrate a data center if you wish.

  25. Apple solution on Apple Providing Free Data Migration With a Mac Purchase or Repair (macrumors.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Data migration -= 99
    Mac purchase += 99
