  1. Re:Slashdot Homepage Ads Cover EVERYTHING on The World's Biggest Spice Company is Using AI To Find New Flavors (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Well so far all the AI did was take things that exist and make spices out of them. It probably was set up with "this tastes most like this, and little like this" All together this spice has these qualities. And basically the AI helps make the recipe for the seasoning.

  2. Re:Not even half-assed security on EU Orders Recall of Children's Smartwatch Over Severe Privacy Concerns (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    They love to over engineer.

    Says the AC.

  4. Re:That's a lot of people involved on Rising Temperatures Could Melt Most Himalayan Glaciers By 2100 (nationalgeographic.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Would the Gulf of Tonkin Incident be counted as a conspiracy theory? I mean it took 30 years for the truth to come out.

    Try to get anything done without some form of identification, that's what the other comment means. Sometimes you can get away with it, but most places require something. At least in person. Then there are stop and identify laws in several states. Then States with Voter ID laws give away free IDs in many cases. Some cost $25.

  6. Re:unlisted microphone? on Nest Secure Has an Unlisted, Disabled Microphone (androidauthority.com) · · Score: 1

    It would be nice if it knew how much oil you had/used, the cost vs electricity and could use whichever system cost less, including overheating the house in anticipation of a cold snap at night, or high freezing winds, etc.

  7. Re:unlisted microphone? on Nest Secure Has an Unlisted, Disabled Microphone (androidauthority.com) · · Score: 1

    "The bigger the temperature difference the bigger the energy leak" so the preemptive part means the temps are more in line and are closer together. Instead of trying to maintain 73 in a 80 world, while the temp is 76 the house would lower it to 70. Only a 6 degree difference vs the 7 later. So the house could work less to keep the house temp slowly creeping to 73, especially in anticipation of your home arrival.

  8. I'm still mad about the Kinect on Microsoft's Moving Xbox Ad Was the Best Thing About the Super Bowl (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    It used to be able to control my whole xbox, the tv, netflix, hulu etc. Now it can barely pause the DVR. They talk about accessibility, but they kill off their voice controls almost completely.

  9. Re:Well their batteries keep dying. on 2018 Was the 'Worst Year Ever' For Smartphone Shipments (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Besides the TV (which don't break as often as phones), everything you said has fairly easy to repair or easy repairman hiring ability.

  10. I've had a few different styles of bluetooth headphones, but I still prefer my wired ones. I don't have to think or worry about charging them, they work seamlessly from my phone to my computer to Nintendo switch and DS and to my cars AUX cable.

  11. Re:what percentage of plastic on Giant Plastic Trap Breaks, Gets Towed Back To Land (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Why would I need it all cleaned up in 1 year? As long as there 106,667 of these then they'll be collecting all new plastic plus a little of the old. Really you only need 300,000 to clean it all up in 10 years.

  12. Re:It's been a long running story on National Parks Face Years of Damage From Government Shutdown (nationalgeographic.com) · · Score: 1

    I went to Yellowstone once and it said closed until April. I'm pretty sure most of the roads close in November to get ready for the snow season.

  13. Sounds like the US should be accepting China's money then, letting them crash.

  14. Re:Why do people do this on How YouTube's Domination of Streaming Clips the Market's Wings (wordpress.com) · · Score: 0

    Not AC, but there are a lot of shitty cars, crappy TVs, weird fucking houses, etc. So probably, yea, he talks the shit about them too.

  15. Re: Derp derp derp on The GPS Wars Have Begun (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    This is really about military applications. Weapons like missiles can use GPS for guidance to targets. Currently the US can and does turn off GPS or scrambles it over war zones, or to mess with NK and China.

    So send reddit?

  17. Re:It's really quite simple on Amazon's Grocery Push Keeps Stumbling After Whole Foods Purchase (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Amazon's prices suck for groceries on almost all their products I've shopped for. Fucking Kellogs oatmeal was at least 2 times the cost. I'd rather just go in the store. Nowadays a bunch have curbside pickup so it's a quick stop on my way home from work if I do it that way. Plus Costco has great prices and I have to go in there.

  18. Re:If you're building a tunnel... on Elon Musk Unveils 1.14-Mile Boring Company Tunnel (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The idea is to have entry and exit ramps that merge with the transportation rail. That way the personal vehicle doesn't disrupt the rest of the people moving along. Then the personal pod/car/etc can easily leave or enter the "station" with minimum delay.

  19. I like the cut of your jib.

    I buy singles from costco, they have zero plastic between them. They're just sitting there.

    Verizon and AT&T are the Adult Bells of 36 years ago baby bells. They consumed their brothers and sisters like the gods of old.

    They have express and local buses for this reason. Also you don't know how many blocks away someone walked to get to the road with all the bus stops.
