There would be no way to "break out" of the simulation (whatever that means) because we don't exist outside of it.
That doesn't logically follow. Maybe they didn't fix or find all the bugs. Maybe they left a door open. Maybe one day we're stumble on the right particle interactions to cause a buffer overflow and the whole thing halts and catches fire.
It's okay, you know, to put an s after the apostrophe when something ends in x. It's even okay when the word ends in s.
Or you could have just left off the apostrophe altogether. It would still have been cromulent and you wouldn't look like you weren't sure what you were doing (or trying to look clever).
You! Yes, you! You there, about the press the "Reply" button - think about what you're doing.
Chances are you want to ask Martin Shkreli why he's such an utterly foul piece of human excrement - of course you do, it's what we're all thinking - but what will it achieve? I'm happy to see that the users of Slashdot have already asked this question several times, so that ground has been covered.
So what can you do? My suggestion is: nothing. Don't hit Reply. Don't ask a question. Shkreli didn't get to be King of the Douchebags by having a thin skin, but if anything's going to wound him... it's nothing. No responses. No-one caring. No-one even expressing their disdain for him.
So how about it? Just close the tab, and move on. Do more for the good of humanity than Martin Shkreli ever will simply by sitting on your arse and doing nothing. It's the right thing to (not) do.
SpaceX had still images from video that appeared to show an odd shadow
Which, as the linked video shows, was neither odd nor a shadow - I don't know why this was even included in the summary. It was never anything of interest to anyone but UFO kooks.

Hey, this is a family website! Take your smut elsewhere, pervert. I don't care what you do in the privacy of your own basement, but I don't wanna hear about it.

surely we would have some remaining concept of a Scientist that created the Simulation, and us inside it.
...what?
That is what they're arguing - that we are sims ourselves.
We are talking about looking at a system from the inside and determining the outside of the system. That, by definition, is impossible.
No it's not. It could be improperly secured, have exploitable bugs, or be deliberately left open.
Poor Descartes, always misquoted.
The full quote is "I think I'm hungry, therefore I am going to make a sandwich."
So few people recognise that his true and only genius was in inventing the sandwich 200 years early.
So basically what you'd get if you merged the Matrix franchise with Inception.
The Thirteenth Floor, then.
Spoiler alert. Sorry.
Is that because they couldn't give more than a toss about whether or not their products work?
I will break with my urine. Bzzzt!!!
If that's the sound you make when you pee, you should see a doctor.
The deal with iPic should help Netflix' movies...

Apple CEO Tim Cook Remembers Steve Jobs On Fifth Anniversary of His Death
That makes it sound like he'd completely forgotten him up until now.
"October 5th... now why does that ring a bell?"
he might have died in the same amount of time, or died earlier, or died later with conventional cancer treatments
Those three alternatives are almost certainly not equally likely, though.
...or does it look like Jeff Bezos is compensating for something?
Theranos To Shut Down Its Blood-Testing Facilities, Shrink Workforce By 40%
So the blood test thing didn't work out, but they've got that revolutionary employee shrinking technology to fall back on!

Boeing CEO Vows To Beat Elon Musk
Bang! Zoom! Right to the... Mars.
This now makes me wonder what reason there could be to run Ubuntu on Windows instead of Windows on Linux.
How about because Ubuntu on Window works, while "Windows" (which isn't really Windows) on Linux can be kind of a crap-shoot. A very crappy crap shoot.
...they've got some exploding washing machines to sort out.
I can make my own IP address lookup system.
With blackjack.com! And hookers.org!
Did one want to pronounce it "Ar-dwee-no" and the other "Ard-yoo-ee-no"?
comes with six different USB ports.
Six different USB ports? What, type-A, type-B, type-C, mini, micro, and... jumbo?

That would be the more interesting image to see.

I think he committed a crime. ...against comedy! Hah! Yeah, I went there!
Given the increased frequency of terrorist bombings and mass shootings
Is that a given, though?
Just checking you've done your homework...
