  1. It's up 4% on the month actually. Never make a story about BTC dropping. It won't stay that way and that's no the long term trend. It's just headline bait nonsense.

  2. random story simulator on See a Random Slashdot Story from 2017 (destinyland.net) · · Score: 2

    So basically...Some Apple crap is defective again. Some Apple crap is defective again. Some Apple crap is defective again. Some Apple crap is defective again.

  3. Re:Fossilized or perfectly preserved? on Construction Workers Find 30 Perfectly Preserved Dinosaur Eggs (bgr.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    No. And there's a third option: typical Chinese fakery.

  4. The real problem on In a Declining Comics Market, DC Beats Marvel (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 2

    Here's the TD;DR version of Marvel in the last few years. They let SJWs take over to look progressive and all the customers left.

  5. As a professional space whale biologist I can tell you with absolute certainty that the footage was of an albino space whale.

  6. I have an idea on Apple Says Apps Must Now Disclose Odds For Loot Boxes (kotaku.com) · · Score: 0

    They should have to disclose the probability that the customer should have bought an android device instead.

  7. Oh good, now I can pay like $100 a year for an encryption cert that I don't need just to run my static, read-only website that tells people what my business does and where it is and how to contact me. Awesome.

  8. Another idiot talking out his ass with no idea how the math works, how the network works, etc. Shut the hell up already.

  9. What even is that? on Ubuntu 17.10 Temporarily Pulled Due To A BIOS Corrupting Problem (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    What the hell in the operating system needs to write data to the BIOS chip? I'd love to hear anyone's reasoning behind why that's remotely necessary.

  10. Is it really the malware's fault or is it the idiot phone designers who didn't test or didn't care that the phone can't run at 100% CPU usage indefinitely without damage? Playing Pokemon Go could have caused the same effect.

  11. fantastic, don't invest in it on Bitcoin Jumps Another 10% in 24 Hours, Sets New Record at $19,000 (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh boy a 10x return since like a year ago. Wooow. Great, you missed that train. If you think t hey'll hit $100,000, they won't. That's basically impossible. If you want a return better than some 10% shift buy Sia, BCC, or LTC.

  12. I don't know how many of you are familiar with bureaucratic nonsense and the massive over-control of the government in California but I'd recommend keeping California far away from your body.

  13. Actually we don't care on Coinbase Wants Wall Street To Resolve Its Bitcoin Trust Issues (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I've been dealing in bitcoins since 2010. Let me just say:
    "Traditional investors like crooked, lying, manipulative Wall Street assholes can fuck off and stay out og bitcoin. We don't care what you think." - Sincerely, everyone in the bitcoin community.

  14. Putting Yahoo as the default search setting was worse.

  15. but dark matter is definitely real, you guys on Astronomers Have Come Up With a Better Way To Weigh Millions of Solitary Stars (vanderbilt.edu) · · Score: 1

    ...and not only real but it's Magic and there's zero proof of its existence other than the fact that we didn't and likely still don't know how to measure stars' masses, missed a bunch of low density dust, and clearly do not know how gravity or black holes or universe expansion really works. But it's totally real and you should give scientists grant money to "study" it, and I use that term veeeeery generously considering it has never been detected. I cannot stand how scientists are always like "the total mass of the universe doesn't add up but rest assured, we know we're measuring it accurately and by the way we don't know how many planets are in our solar system."

  16. Here, I'll help the US companies that are involved with these talks. No customer in the entirety of the US will buy a Chinese phone laced with tracking malware and spying features. Thanks anyway though.

  17. What to invest in on A Cryptocurrency Without a Blockchain Has Been Built To Outperform Bitcoin (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If I had to pick other coins that aren't just stupid gimmicks and have a real function that are worth investing in right now they're:
    Lightcoin because it was the 2nd one ever invented and it's simply superior to BTC.
    Zec because transactions are NOT public, which is proving to be a problem with BTC
    Sia because is is tied to an ownerless encrypted open source dropbox cloud storage system

  18. It's almost like solar panels are magic devices that spit out free money from thin air. I'm glad that investors and business owners are finally realizing that. The only think standing in the way was the payoff period/return rate and with scale, it's a lot better now.

  19. Not 100% his fault on Mirai IoT Botnet Co-Authors Plead Guilty (krebsonsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    You know, when someone's smart fridge starts popping up messages saying it needs to install Windows 10 platinum version and they need to call the Microsoft support number to help them fix it then maaaaaybe they should have just bought one that makes food cold. Is it really the author's fault completely or is the the fault of consumers buying smart-everything.

  20. really? on President Trump Is Sending NASA Back To The Moon (npr.org) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why doesn't he send all the SJWs to the moon instead? Then they can live there and tell each other they're not being liberal enough. That'd be a guaranteed re-election next term.

  21. Welcome to reality on Patreon Hits Donors With New Fees, Angering Creators (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    My Patreon account usually gets $350-450 per month with like 80 supporters-ish and I've seen zero drop off. People have to learn how payment processing systems work. If you give 3 people $1, it costs a static amount plus a percentage to run your credit card. That's just how it works. Why should Patreon be responsible for eating all the profit and potentially losing money for exceptionally low payment amounts? That doesn't make any sense. You ever try to buy $0.50 collectible cards on ebay for MTG, Yugioh, Pokemon, etc? If you don't buy the whole deck at a time, just like 4 cards for $0.50, they charge you the cost of postage and the envelope and it costs you more! What a concept!

  23. I'm who they're talking about on No One Makes a Living on Crowdfunding Website Patreon (theoutline.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    So I have 30k subs on youtube, 12 million views, and also a Patreon that hovers around $500/mo. Youtube has come in around $1000-1500 per month in ad revenues lately. That's just barely enough to get by after I also make a not so predictable amount of money on T-shirt sales and also why I started a fairly successful 2nd channel. You need to diversify and Patreon wasn't meant to 100% prop up someone's income. I've heard of cosplayers and artists and web comic creators use it almost exclusively but even they sell shirts and have adsense ads on their websites. I don't think anyone legitimately intends to use it as their sole income in the first place.

  24. the real problem on Apple Has Ruined Its Podcasts App (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    The real problem started when you used an Apple product to try to do a thing. See, if you don't do it precisely the way their engineers and marketing department designed or want to do something slightly different or additional, it's not going to work and you're going to be unhappy...like this example.

  25. I'm super excited about this and he really knows what he's doing but this was sort of announced a month ago. It's not exactly "news" at this point but whatever, Slashdot.
