Uhh, plenty of people fall asleep in MRI machines all the time. It's loud, but you wear headphones (that optionally play music) and the loud noises are periodic. And, because you're laying down and stuck immovable for sometimes over an hour, it's natural to start falling asleep.
I've had at least 5 MRIs and lab techs from two different buildings have told me they have people fall asleep all the time.
The media is complicit in so many narratives they can't keep them straight. Or, they just assume their readers will take them at their word and never fact check them.
If YouTube creates more flat earthers (as opposed to simply attracting existing ones), then can't the same be said for radical Islam? Which means we SHOULD be taking it far more seriously than they want us to currently?
Chromium OS runs on top of Linux. Android runs on top of Linux. Their cloud machines run Linux. -----a major portion of their products and income
God forbid they make their co-developed products... you know... work with each other.
I'd genuinely like to see someone to try and argue the opposite. That Google Chrome SHOULDN'T be supported on Linux for [same 'valid' reasons Google Drive doesn't]. After all Linux makes up a "smaller market share" blah blah... and supporting multiple operating systems is hard blah blah blah...
Meanwhile, people have already done both free scripts (by a single dev), as well as full 3rd party products you can buy that add Google Drive to Linux. Almost as if... it's easy to do!
Holy shit, I have to pepper my posts with disclaimers and mark every sarcastic sentence made in jest. The exclamation point should have given it away.
I can't spoonfed people enough.
WTF happened to our schools? I know, ha ha, that's an age old saying but seriously? People don't even get SARCASM anymore? The lowest form of rhetorical devices there is. God forbid, someone watch a British TV show. It would blow their minds.
And to spoonfeed more, I'm not smugly condensating. I'm voicing my frustration. It's like telling someone "don't use them big words". Except here, it's some kind of inability or resistance to subtly. The only words that matter are ones spoken biblically clear! Shit, there I went again. Exclamation point.
Seriously... what the fuck to people even learn in school?
I could see it as an artist, being free to pursue your art and contribute it back to society.... but then you shouldn't be able to OWN rights to your art afterward. It should be public domain.
The funny thing is, in one area of the USA, we already do that. It's called NASA (and other government programs). Go download some public domain space captures right now and use them for free in your YouTube channel, or video game.
There's a lot of this "feel good" progressive mentality now. I get you want to reduce people's suffering. But simply DOING something doesn't magically make the world (or people) better off. There's a reason "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" is a phrase dating back CENTURIES and still. repeated. today. Because every year there are new examples that reinforce it.
The way slashdotter's and Redditors talk, it's like UBI is some magic cure all for poverty and society's financial suffering. I have no problem with people testing / experiments and gathering data for UBI. But to imply that it's a done deal and only politics is in the way of a utopia, is disingenuous. The goal is to help people, not pass more legislation for the sake of legislation. So we should actually have damn good science to back it up before we apply it to large populations.
A cult of people trying to "help people" is still a cult--subject to the same kind of blindspots as people drinking kool aid and waiting for the alien mothership to bring them to Heaven. Use data. Get educated. And don't assume detractors are just stupid.
>Designing phones that are thin and waterproof is difficult and expensive when you have ports to the outside.
Yeah, that's just some fanboy bullshit.
Waterproofing has been a "done" science since like, the 80's. There are entire laptops that are waterproof and you think a piece of crap little phone with an audio jack is somehow Achilles Heel? What about the goddamn USB port? What about the BUTTONS?
so you're saying... TOO MUCH inclusion is actually... a bad thing?
Better delete this post before the "alt-right" people use it to create a legion of super soldiers.
In otherwords, everyone in moderate America already knew this.
What's next, Contributor Code of Conducts is about adding more useless people to projects instead of maximizing productivity? Nah, that'll never happen.
This wouldn't be such bullshit if you could actually CHOOSE to upgrade your operating system the way you can upgrade Windows or Linux to the newest (or at least much newer) versions.
I've got a Samsung S5 with Android 5... how long before they kill off my only phone? A $650 (no contract) flagship phone. I dare you to find a 2014 laptop that cost SIX-HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS that can't run any new applications because "it's too old."
Imagine if Windows made any application compiled on an OS earlier than Windows 10, not supported. Not because of a missing feature (like their arbitrary disabling of DirectX ~11/12 on Windows 7)... not because of hardware specs... no, just a complete cutoff based on version number. No 7zip. No VLC. No Chrome. Unless it's recompiled with a "new enough" SDK. All those Steam games that weren't compiled in 2018 because the developer moved on? Gone. Got that great 2017 game? Too bad, it's still not 2018. Battlefield 1 is officially legacy.
If that happened, there would be rioting on the streets and Steve Ballmer and Nadella would be forced to dig their own graves with boxed sets of Microsoft Dynamics NAV as shovels.
WTF are you supposed to do when your CARRIER arbitrarily decides to not offer updates to a phone that costs over half a grand?
Bryan Lunduke, who worked for Microsoft, and talks a lot about Linux subjects, made a good point in one of his Linux lectures that really opened my mind.
The "Who asked for this?" question. systemd having a full network stack and various other huge features instead of just being a better init script. With Wayland, and Mir, was anyone really going "OMG, X Windows sucks so bad. I really hate being able to stream a graphics shell over ssh on a system that was fast enough to use on a 486." I can't really do his arguments justice with my old man's memory, but the point is sound.
With Windows 8 Metro, or the Ribbon interface, or any of the other Microsoft failures... was anyone explicitly ASKING for this? Or, was it just some middle or upper manager type trying to justify his existence by pushing something his intuition told him would be "the future" with no science and user studies to back it up? Did the decision get made BECAUSE users complained, or, was the decision made, and any evidence contrary (such as research or users) simply thrown under the rug?
Are people DEMANDING lootboxes? Are people demanding DRM?
Are people demanding phones with shit battery life that are thinner and thinner and easier to bend? Or "notches" in their screens instead of full screens?
Where do these anti-features come from? I don't know. But I've at least started to ask the question "Who asked for this?" to help me identify those features and the examples are boundless.
Okay, yeah, we're in cars. You know what we're also doing? Getting utility out of those cars by being able to live further away from dense cities while commuting into them for our high-paying jobs.
People wouldn't sit in traffic unless they had to? No shit. People also tend to work in sweatshops because they're _better paying than every other job_ in their town.
I agree that it's a good amount of perspective that we get less vacation than we drive to work in terms of hours to convoy how long we really spend getting to our jobs and not getting paid for it. But that's... basically it. It's just a "huh... that's interesting." trivia point like "We drink X gallons of soda every year."
Yeah, we should probably drink less soda. And it would be NICE if we didn't have to drive as far. It'd also be NICE if we weren't filling our lungs with pollution (from those same cars!) that causes asthma and allergies and learning disorders in our children. Except this last point actually means something. People are literally dying from our car's gas engines. And that's way more important than, "Oh no, I have to sit in a car and listen to music or podcasts in traffic while I go to my job that pays 10x more than 99% of the country"
My first computer science job paid $25,000 a year. After three years I made $32,000. I was responsible for data migrations for entire companies involving C#, SQL, and mobile applications. 32. fucking. grand. before taxes.
If I moved to Seattle, I'd be making >100,000 a year easily for the same job. I have friends there and they assured me of this--trying to get me to move and join their companies.
You think I wouldn't mind sitting in a car for an hour a day to Joe Rogan podcasts while I make literally FOUR TIMES as much money? (Or more.)
Now, why haven't I done that? Well, I got proper fucked by genetics and I'm currently staying near family because a strong support system has more UTILITY to me than a high pay check at the moment. But that's the key. People sit in traffic (and work) in large cities because the highest paying jobs (and ability to jump from one job to another instead of "the one big company in my town") are worth the minor inconvenience of sitting in a car. Even if you hate sitting in a car, if you treated your time in the car as a "billable hour" that you weren't getting paid for, you're still making far more money than 90% of the country and more money per hour sitting in your car in traffic than semi-truck drivers are making doing it for a living.

Slashdot Mirror

Did they at least give cancer early notice before announcing zero-day vulnerabilities to the public at large?
You officially went to a shit-tier MRI lab.
Ask doctors/lab-techs on Reddit, quora, or anywhere else. They will all agree they should have given you earplugs at the minimum.
If people regularly left "shellshocked" from MRIs, we wouldn't be prescribing them except in the most extreme of circumstances.
Was... was this comment written by an algorithm?

Planet Terror was amazing.
Dude, did you look at the rest of the comments here? It's 99% "this doesn't matter."
Shill much, slashdot?.
LMFAO. It didn't take you long to tie that to Trump.
It's a new game I've been playing for two years. Take any esoteric comment and see how many words it takes them to tie it to hatred of Trump.
