  1. How long until the EU starts fining Google and Facebook for not utilizing these as part of their "Right to be Forgotten" campaign

    It would be a great help to the ECB's balance

  2. Re:Uncertainty principle on The Next Falcon Heavy Will Carry the Most Powerful Atomic Clock Ever Launched (space.com) · · Score: 1
    it's been traveling along this map for this duration at this speed ...

    If clock carrier knows precisely what map it is following, there wouldn't be a need for course corrections.

    Locating 3D position won't work very well if the clock is in the Kupier belt and the satellites are close to the sun

  3. The article doesn't explain how knowing what time it is tells the clock WHERE it is

    Orbital failure

    It was exact 00:00.999891 when I slammed into the target

  4. Neighborhood on US Tests Nuclear Power System To Sustain Astronauts On Mars (reuters.com) · · Score: 2
    Where can my neighborhood association go to signup for one of these?

    The first few will be expensive, so we probably want to wait for the second wave when they go into mass production

  5. The solution to Climate Change is to buy land further north.

    Canada (and Russia) should have sugar maples by 2070

    Michigan can switch to cotton and, eventually, sugarcane.

  6. Are you glad you posted this? on Is Finland's Universal Basic Income Trial Too Good To Be True? (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1
    Dear EditorDavid,

    You made a fairly long post on Finland's UBI experiment. Its only salient fact was that results will be available in 2019. A waste of perfectly good 1's and 0's

    What was your intent?

    The only discussion I see is about the U.S. tax plan

  7. Why do reptiles use temperature to choose gender? on Sea Turtles Under Threat As Climate Change Turns Most Babies Female (futurism.com) · · Score: 1
    Reptiles have been around for a loooong time. They've adapted to the most effective strategy.

    Warmer temperatures means more food. Females produce more eggs. One male can fertilize a LOT of eggs.

    This produces more turtles to eat the food produced by warmer temperatures

    So the question is "Why is what's happening in North Australia a problem?"

  9. Interchangeable on Ask Slashdot: When Is the Right Time To Discuss Retirement With Your Employer? · · Score: 1
    Since all coders are interchangeable (as viewed from the corner office,) there is nothing for you to worry about

    .

    I'd start with HR 3 months before leave date. You need to get URLs and passwords for all your accounts that are auto-linked now

  10. Keep it simple on Ask Slashdot: How Can Programmers Explain Their Work To Non-Programmers? · · Score: 2

    I usually say "I sit and type"

  11. Re:Not a surprise. on Trump Administration Calls For Government IT To Adopt Cloud Services (reuters.com) · · Score: 1
    I have 2 issues with cloud services

    1 Is the obvious security issues. Once I break into a cloud (or if I work there) potentially all the data is available

    2 Is EMP. See Wikipedia NEMP

    Not enough (that is all of) the internet backbone is glass. So my cloud data will be unavailable in case of attack

  12. Please post the logon details ASAP

    I need to get control of my refrigerator

  13. This has to go in stages on Russia Says It Will Ignore Any UN Ban of Killer Robots (ibtimes.com) · · Score: 2
    Step 1: Use mustard gas

    Step 2: Ban chemical weapons

    Step 3: Build large supplies of VX "just in case"

    Upshot-- Buy stock in robotics companies

  14. I am more interested in "Imposing a five year prison sentence on organizations caught concealing data breaches."

    Does this mean the CEO? CIO? or Uber (the whole corporation)

    We need more prison space

  15. Life on Earth is 100% fatal

    We need a conversation about the value of ONE human life

  16. Has anyone checked out Have I been Pwnd? ?

    They are obviously collecting email and IP addresses

    My refrigerator already rats me out every time I get up for a drink

  19. "Gig economy" is nothing new

    It has one major problem There is always someone who will take a job for a lower rate than you need.

    This lead to unionization, insurance, paid time off etc. etc

  20. CNN sale does not change CNN attitude on Justice Department Tells Time Warner It Must Sell CNN Or DirecTV To Approve Its AT&T Merger (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1
    If CNN is sold, why does it change their coverage?

    Why does that mean staffing changes?

    That will be controlled by the BUYER. If CNN is sold to Fox or the Koch brothers there would be staffing changes but certainly there is some left leaning buyer with the necessary deep pockets

  21. A real person such as NotARussian@gmail.com ?

  22. Keeping Political Ads on Senators Announce New Bill That Would Regulate Online Political Ads (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Define "political" please. Is a skin cream ad political or just sexist, ageist? Why wouldn't Facebook keep ALL ads available? 1 I see most of the "good" ones over on YouTube. 2 They can charge the ad buyers for this new "service" They'd have to keep the archive by date, subject and key words. It would be nice if they kept them by the distribution questions the ad buyer set up for them but that's probably too much "under the hood" information for Facebook (et. al) to reveal.

  23. So, Orwell was 40 years off on the date I already love Big Brother so I'm safe.

  24. I have a right to your water. A famous quote: Whiskey is for drinking water is for fighting over.

  25. Alfred Whitehead on Can An Individual Still Resist The Spread of Technology? (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It is a profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy-books and by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them.
