  1. Sounds like the author is having an existential crisis. I've never had a conservative friend worry about such things. That leads me to believe the author is in an echo chamber. Probably feels a lot like how Neo felt at the beginning of The Matrix. Something fundamental feels off but can't put one's finger on it...

  2. Re: This resonates with me.. on Air Pollution Causes 'Huge' Reduction in Intelligence, Study Reveals (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I do 10km runs in the city. 20km in the country. When running, the lower air quality is impossible to miss.

  3. It's a short 5 page essay masquerading as research. Dunning Kruger effect is strong with the authors. They effectively think it's too difficult to fix the system, so we should wipe it clean and start from scratch. Obviously, their new system will be perfect.

  4. Re: Slackware! on Linux Turns 27 (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I have sooooo many halcyon memories of youth feeding floppies to install Slackware... I miss the good old days... But not the hours long install process...

  5. Re: Well Fuck on No Healthy Level of Alcohol Consumption, Says Major Study (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Money.

    Your sample size seems large enough for a press release in today's standards.

  7. Re: To enter or not to enter on Apple Hired Scores of Ex-Tesla Employees This Year (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    So slap an Apple sticker over the audio in port and call it a day?

  8. Re: Muddying the Waters Doesn't Help on Fire Department Rejects Verizon's 'Customer Support Mistake' Excuse For Throttling (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    What if we call it "fact bending"? Like 'Assholatar The Frequenct Fact Bender' ? We'll do an anime and toys and become rich from merchandising. BtW This is trademarked by me. Don't meme it.

  9. My biggest beef with computer science majors is that the majority of them have no clue what version control is about. How the hell does a student pay tens of thousands of dollars a semester to learn how to computer, yet never get taught the basics?

  10. Re: a cheaper solution on Google Just Put an AI in Charge of Keeping Its Data Centers Cool (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Found the antihistamine lobbyist. How much did they have to pay to get to you?

  11. Re: Just ban this filthy game on US Judge Blocks Programs Letting 'Grand Theft Auto' Players 'Cheat' (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Exactly. Killing your prostitute after you pay her is flagrant disregard for a fair capitalist society. Add a feature where you can haggle the price instead of murder, and I'll have no objections.

  12. The passwords should have been superlisa1, superbart1, etc. N00bs. All of em.

  13. Re: Use the tution fees from gender studies degree on NYU Offers Full-Tuition Scholarships for All Medical Students (wsj.com) · · Score: 2

    Then gender studies would be a free degree, if I understand the logic that started this thread. Seems fair.

  14. Wait a tick... on NYU Offers Full-Tuition Scholarships for All Medical Students (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be better to treat the illness instead of the symptoms? In this case, the illness is the cancerous way in which administrative burden has skyrocketed without end. The symptom is the high tuitions.

  15. Americans are upset that they have the responsibility of installing bullshit filters in their own minds. People surveyed were angry that Big Brother doesn't seem capable of creating bespoke filters for every user that's sufficiently biased to the user's world view.

  16. Whenever making pasta, I'd always twist and bend a bundle at the same time to make 2 roughly even halves. It's kinda funny to think my younger self could've saved them time.

  17. So intersectionality is simply pushing prejudice to the limits along all dimensions possible? I shouldn't see you as you, but as a compilation of previously agreed upon tropes? Got it. Have fun with that.

  18. Wouldn't work. Hookers know how to screw 1, maybe 3, at a time. Board members must be able to screw everyone in the company at once. Hookers can't simply do that scale.

  19. The headline writing ability reminds me of the newscaster from Harrison Bergeron.

  20. Good headline for once on 'Do Not Buy a Smartwatch Right Now' (droid-life.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Don't buy a smart watch has been good advice for years. Glad to see the editors are finally catching on...

  21. Re: In other words: I'm a proud psychopath on The Flourishing Business of Fake YouTube Views (nytimes.com) · · Score: 0

    I'm sure the world would be better place if we only had enough compassionate people like you to lead us. I'm sure you have a final solution that'd be great.

  22. Glad to see an industry obsessed about preventing people making free copies of their shit is using software that is freely copied...

  23. Anyone else's brain segfault while parsing the headline? In other words: Segfault Brain: Yours Did, asks commenter questioninglyish.

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions. All you offer is some half measures filled to the brim with good intentions. How do you think that'll work out?
