  1. The Joe Rogan Experience on Slashdot Asks: Your Favorite Podcasts? And Why? · · Score: 2

    Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day!

  2. Re:This has a few reasons ... on Google Is Integrating Progressive Web Apps Deeper Into Android (chromium.org) · · Score: 1

    Wasn't web apps a thing that apple tried to push before with first iphone? https://9to5mac.com/2011/10/21... Yea Steve Jobs said it.

  3. Re:Better late than never on Facebook Changes Feed To Promote Posts That Aren't Fake, Sensational, Or Spam (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Scrolling past a Tomi Lahren video counted as viewing it since it autoloads.

  4. Re:The point on 'Australia Is Stubbing Out Smoking' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    This is where those fears of death judges or panels or whatever comes from. First the government starts with something like smoking, justification? Tax payers. Well then when do we stop with age, or other diseases? Coal miners? Fuck them for getting jobs? Smokers pay their taxes, more than a lot with the huge taxes on their smokes, so they should be entitled to all that medical care, seems like they're paying more than their fair share in with those crazy tax amounts.

    I take a page from the President, only a fool pays taxes.

  6. Re:Nothing nice to say. on Donald Trump Is Sworn In As the 45th US President (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I thought she pulled off a nice Jackie O style coat :)

  7. Thanks to corporate lobbying, laws have been amended and made so that individuals are hardly held responsible for corporate fuck ups.

  8. Bleh, who wants android with their non-intuitive settings UI?

  9. Letting it drain completely. A lot of people don't know that battery life is even shorter nowadays since you shouldn't let them drain.

  10. Re: Positive feedback? on Some Colleges Have More Students From the Top 1 Percent Than the Bottom 60 (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    There are several reasons. I've read and you can google it, that one reason of increased autism rates is because people are waiting to get married, and usually find a mate in their career or field. So a lot of these people are marrying other intelligent people that probably have low level aspergers or other autistic genes which leads to more autistic kids. I have also recently read a study linking low iron to autism in babies, so older people having kids are absorbing less vitamins in general and probably eating poorly (just working people problems) and not getting enough nutrients. Combine smart working older people that have no time to cook and eat healthily and you get a boost in autism. There's also the fact that autism is ridiculously broad nowadays to add in more people now being diagnosed as well.

  11. Re:Some things are worth waiting for on Netflix Calls Out HBO For Not Letting Subscribers Binge On New Shows (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    You could read a book instead.

  13. Re:Death of Uber on Regulators Criticize Banks For Lending Uber $1.15 Billion (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 0

    That's why you buy an older used car. Taxis routinely buy old cop cars with over 100,000 miles or more and use them for several more years.

  14. Re:Music was not a license to print money before N on Music Streaming Hailed as Industry's Saviour as Labels Enjoy Profit Surge (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't know why you're downvoted, but you're correct. They used to understand it would take a couple albums to make a band or singer popular. Nowadays if you aren't popular in one, you're gone.

  15. Re:Then leave Silicon Valley on More Than One-Third of Schoolchildren Are Homeless In Shadow of Silicon Valley (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    What if my X chromosome traces back to Neanderthal? I'm a descendent of Homosapien rape on my greatest of grandmas!

  16. Re: Why does Android get a free pass? on Some Google Pixel Devices Are Shutting Down At 30% Battery (androidauthority.com) · · Score: 1

    Slash dot is in the order in which it was submitted, not in any order of points or karam like reddit.

  17. Re:Um.. what does any of your post mean? on Czech Republic Sets Up Counter-Terrorism Unit To Counter Fake News Threat (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    If you don't know what his last comment is about then you haven't followed US news for a year. BLM and other movements were saying "Hands up, don't shoot" because that was what the news reported happened when Michael Brown was killed. Except it didn't happen. There was also some rioting about the shooting during this time. The truth came out that he never said or did that and in fact attacked the officer. That fake news spread quickly and kept momentum, and it was "lefty fake news".

  18. Re:$159 for earbuds on Apple CEO Tim Cook Calls AirPods 'a Runaway Success' (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    You have to tell me the cough syrup brand.

  19. Re:Amazon is Santa. on Amazon Starts Flexing Muscle in New Space (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    The $5 credit can only applied once per order, their food prices are normally more costly and then you pay for the box. You aren't saving anything.

  20. Re:Amazon is Santa. on Amazon Starts Flexing Muscle in New Space (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    You're paying for that shipping through the product, Prime products are almost always a few dollars more than any one with free shipping, but you don't get it in 2 days with the savings of a couple bucks.

  21. Re:Season Length on A Record High of 455 Scripted TV Shows Aired in 2016 (vulture.com) · · Score: 1

    You're downvoted, but I agree with that on the better cable shows. Many seasons aren't as long as conventional network shows. This is evident in my DVR when shows all start the same but max out at 5 unwatched episodes and I only watched the first one.

  22. Hacker seems to get thrown around a lot on Russian Hackers Stole $5 Million Per Day From Advertisers With Bots and Fake Websites (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    It doesn't seem like there was much unauthorized access to a computer system, sounds like they breached the ToS for Facebook, but other than that I don't see an actual crime here.

  23. Re:They're Not Workers on Uber Appeals Against Ruling that Its UK Drivers Are Workers (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Uber punishes and removes drivers that aren't on the road or available often.

  24. Well they made my decision for me on Starting Next Year, Evernote Employees Could Access Your Unencrypted Notes (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    "The only way to fully protect your privacy is to delete all your notes and close your Evernote account." Easy enough, but I'm confused about the encryption part, can they read those or are they saying it's hackable or that they have a key?

    The 2nd amendment gets challenged all of the time, lots of guns are restricted from purchase and even more are outright banned.
