  1. Finally, the apocalypse is over. on Bill That Would Restore Net Neutrality Moves Forward Despite Telecom's Best Efforts To Kill It (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    These past two years have been ROUGH without net neutrality. With all the... uhh...

    Well when the telecom providers did the... uhhh.... the bad things.... with..

    MORE GOVERNMENT CONTROL IS ALWAYS BETTER!

  2. Re:Bitcoin is more like an investment for people on Most Bitcoin Trading Faked by Unregulated Exchanges, Study Finds (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Bitcoin doesn't experience inflation. It's actually the opposite. There is a finite amount of Bitcoin.

  3. Re:What Sweden does... on As Costs Skyrocket, More US Cities Stop Recycling (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait, the government is subsidizing an ineffective industry!? Now I've heard everything.

  4. Wait you guys, I thought Amazon has too much money!? Surely you won't support a project of theirs that they spent said money on... right?

  5. That's an excellent example. Shame on this author and those supporting further government interference with innovation. If people want secure tech, companies will be happy to sell them that.

  6. Re:#HerTurnAgain2020 on Putin's Soccer Ball for Trump Had Transmitter Chip, Logo Indicates (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Look at the amount of bombs and missiles Trump is launching, and has no intention of dialing back the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hillary Clinton would ramp that up even further. They're both war hawks. Where the fuck is the anti war left? Why are you supporting a warlord? Look at what she did as secretary of state. She has the blood of millions of innocent people on her hands, and you want to give ANOTHER democrat or republican power?

  7. Re:Apply this worldwide. on Uganda Rolls Out a 5-Cent Daily Tax To Access Social Media (time.com) · · Score: 1

    So are clothing ads, youth sports, standardized tests, etc. Everything can be "damaging to self-esteem, confidence, and general mental health."

  8. Re:I'm the architect on our DevOps team... on Most Organizations Are Not Fully Embracing DevOps (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Four times a day!? That's obscene. What a colossal waste of time. Even if the stand ups are only 15 minutes each you need ~15 on either side of each meeting to change gears. Assuming the meetings aren't back to back we're talking three full wasted hours per day on bullshit meetings alone. I'm so happy we've moved away from daily agile stand ups.

  9. Re:And this is a "problem" because ... on Most Organizations Are Not Fully Embracing DevOps (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    For many companies it does just work that way. The problem is many companies don't realize (or don't care) you need to commit an entire team or teams to building and maintaining your deployment utilities alone.

    I know, it's only up 700% from last year. So sad. RIP.

  11. Re:End on Reddit No Longer Accepts Bitcoin (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    So you're shorting it then, right? No? Shocking.

  12. That's a human rights violation IMO. You can't just deny someone porn and expect them to lead a healthy life.

  13. Re:Censorship is evil, period on Sri Lanka Blocks Facebook, Instagram To Prevent Spread of Hate Speech (lankabusinessonline.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Free speech isn't held together in the US because the government is afraid of some redneck's armory of guns... The gun toting crowd could be easily swayed into giving up their freedom of speech voluntarily. They were huge supporters of giving up their 4th and 6th amendment rights via the patriot act, and all the other related laws.

    Apple had the choice between limiting current draw, allowing the phone to crash, or changing the laws of physics.

    Or allowing people to easily replace their batteries. God forbid!

    "they want people to get as much phone on time as possible in a day."

    Cool, so they're going to do removable batteries?

  17. Everyone on slashdot turns into the grumpiest old man when the bitcoin threads roll around. It's actually kind of cool to see the push back against unstoppable societal changes in real time.

    My 90 year old grandparents are both on this list... They don't even own a computer, smart phones, or have an internet connection, but apparently they have very strong opinions about the internet's future!

    Nobody said that. The entire point of Bitcoin is it's wide open. Every single transaction is public.

    Agreed. Just like US Dollars.
