  1. Re:If they feel like it? on Is It Time To Rethink the Fundamental Dynamics of Twitter? (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Twitter is in its death throes. They're a business, if they want to stay in the scene they'll evolve, or they'll die.

    Seeing as they're massively bias, I see no way they can recover. They killed themselves with their weird morality play, in which they get to be judge judy and executioner

    Lord I hope so!

    "500px, UnderArmor, ShareThis, GfyCat, and MyHeritage, just to name the bigger names." Other than underarmor, THESE are the BIGGER NAMES? Lol.

    IKR? Never heard of any of these short of UnderArmor and I haven't heard any news from that outfit for a long time.

    Ok Timmy, pay attention to the teacher up front and quit shit-posting on Slashdot. She will catch you and make you stand in the corner!

  5. Re:Um on Jeff Bezos Confirms Amazon's Growth Is Slowing (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    This in turn screws over other people and promotes inefficiencies as companies focus more on meeting Wall Street's expectations, cutting workforces and using other tactics to bump earnings just enough to meet some arbitrary target, focusing on short term "growth" over the long term health of the company.

    This BS is what brought Enron down. The execs worrying about the share price and not focusing on things they do well. In order to keep the Street happy, someone will get desperate and start cooking the books more and more over time in order to keep the stock price going up. Finally it will all explode in their face once the truth is found out. Amazon will go down this same road if they are not careful..

  6. Re:Is water wet? on Dutch Regulators Want To Know Whether Apple is Favoring Its Own Apps (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets said in a statement that oceanographers have submitted evidence "which seem to indicate that Ocean is wet." The regulator said it had been studying the issue for 10 months. It said the probe would initially focus on bottled water, but it also called on oceanographers to report any issues with wetness to the authorities.

    More likely just a case of a bureaucrat trying to justify the existence of his/her job.

  13. Oh My God! on San Francisco's Rent Hits a New Peak of $3,690, Highest in the US (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I love this little nugget from the article:

    >>Add in the fact that there isn't enough housing to go around, and prices have naturally skyrocketed. The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development said last year that a family of four earning up to $117,400 qualified as "low income" in the city.

    You got to be kidding me!! That town needs to slide into the ocean. That is nuts! SMH

  14. Re:Who cares? on Anti-Vaccination Conspiracy Theories Thrive on Amazon (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually smoking is a really good comparison because failure to vaccinate harms not just the individual who doesn't have a vaccine but people around them. Here immunity is important https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_immunity.

    You meant "herd" immunity

    Curious children could find themselves dismembered by run-away washing machines. A phalanx of illegally modified lawn tractors and leaf blowers will belch pollution in defiance of the EPA, darkening the sky... At least, that's the scene painted by representatives from some of the U.S.'s biggest industry groups

    That will never happen unless an alien 'weather satellite' is in orbit somewhere..... SMH

  16. Re: No backup can be a feature on Hackers Wipe US Servers of Email Provider VFEmail (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I believe that if you publicly state your email retention policy (at least in the States), then anything outside of that time period makes you S.O.L. in regards to legal discovery. At least that is how it was explained to me at the last company I worked for that was in the Healthcare industry and was always getting legal discovery requests...

    Upon reading the summary they published, looks like they were running something similar to a Ponzi scheme.

  18. Crohn's disease is anything but easily treatable. Scientists don't know the cause, and there is no cure for Crohn's. It is a fatal disease. There are various medications, but they can only treat the symptoms. Most Crohn's patients undergo dozens of surgeries that remove different parts of the entire digestive tract, and they eventually die due to complications from the disease. Life with Crohn's is miserable with frequent pain, going to the bathroom 20 times per day, and bleeding.

    Agreed, but still the guy (or a close adviser) should have realized that (his possible impending death) and did some estate planning to prevent this type of issue from occurring.

  19. I'm not proud to say that one of the things I find most satisfying is watching anti-establishment types painfully discover why the establishment exists. Yep, this is why we have real banks, dummies.

    Schadenfreude is a hoot, isn't it? I thought the same thing....

    Her name is already public, so she's now officially toast anyway since calling the 5th means that she has something to hide.

    What is really crazy is that there are groups of people in the US whose sole purpose is to police speech and make sure that other people both say unoffensive correct things and rally groups of supporters to target those who do not.

  22. According to Gizmodo, it is 1600 ft. in diameter.. https://gizmodo.com/bennu-is-n...

  23. Well that was certainly a wealth of misinformation. For example, to hear you tell it, people in Europe can't order products from Amazon.

    There are a lot of things that I disagree with ShangHaiBill on, but his post hit the nail on the head concerning the way things go here in the States.

  24. Crappy Lipo batteries or crappy chargers puffing up the crappy lipo batteries. Run into that all the time with radio control models using lipo batteries.

  25. No, they should quit, you hypocritical, boot-licking coward.

    Exactly. Once Amazon all of a sudden has no employees available working on said project, then maybe they will change their tune. Otherwise, Bezos will basically tell them "don't let the door hit you in the a** on the way out"....
