  1. "There is no evidence that He actually set out to" on China's CRISPR Twins Might Have Had Their Brains Inadvertently Enhanced (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    So they are treating this guy like God now.

  2. Re:Outer space on Earth's Atmosphere Extends Much Farther Than Previously Thought (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    At least astronauts don't have to pay money. How about all those suckers paying Virgin $250K to go to "space". Turns out they didn't make it.

  3. Or whoever created the Fresh Prince show? Not Ribiero?

  4. Re:"Share some of those profits" on California Governor Proposes Digital Dividend Aimed At Big Tech (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Where will they go? Not many people would want to leave sunny California. Not many other states would welcome them either, lest they want to see housing prices and homelessness go out of control.

  5. Amazon, Walmart, Target on Left To Their Own Devices, Pricing Algorithms Resort To Collusion (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 1

    On numerous occasions, I have seen a product on Amazon with the same price on Walmart and/or Target. Then I'll see the price change on Amazon, and lo and behold the price also changed to that same price on Walmart/Target.

  6. The real question on Ask Slashdot: Is It Ethical To Purchase Electronics Products Made In China? · · Score: 1

    Is it possible to purchase electronics products that are not made in China?

  7. Re:I tried eero, they sucked on Amazon Is Buying Mesh Router Company Eero (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I researched mesh wireless systems recently, and among the reasons I decided against the Eero were slower speeds than competing products, inability to turn off automatic updates, and configuration must be done using a smartphone app (there is no web-based interface accessible via a PC browser).

  8. Re:Diversify your investment portfolio on Software Engineer Loses Life Savings in Quadriga Imbroglio (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Cryptocurrencies can change drastically in value in just a few days, or even a few hours. That is hardly a good way to try to save on fees.

  9. Is it criminal conduct to flash headlights? on NYPD To Google: Stop Revealing the Location of Police Checkpoints (nypost.com) · · Score: 1

    Some people flash their headlights to warn drivers about nearby police presence.

  10. "Amazon has extorted New York from the start, and this seems to be their next effort to do just that,"

    Guess Bezos can only handle being the extorter, not the extortee.

  11. Re:And the result is more false positives on Gmail is Now Blocking 100 Million Extra Spam Messages Every Day With AI (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    And, the result is more false positives ...

    In the past 6 to 8 weeks, I found several emails from people I know in the Spam folder.

    The strange thing is that those were from email addresses are in my contact list, and have been communicating with me for years.

    Bad move Google ...

    This problem is not new - it's been around since forever.

  12. Re:It's not getting more civilized on Internet is Getting More Civil, a Study by Microsoft Says (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    And they use that ridiculous "god fearing" phrase as a positive characteristic to describe people.

  13. Re:Plus (+) trick on Scammer Groups Are Exploiting Gmail 'Dot Accounts' For Online Fraud (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Some web sites don't allow it. Others are worse in that they allow you to register with a + in your email address, but other parts of their web site treat the + as invalid.

  14. Re:Guess who won't be using Spotify? on Spotify Bans Ad Blockers In Updated ToS (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You should short Spotify stock then.

  15. Re:Banning ad blockers will never work on Spotify Bans Ad Blockers In Updated ToS (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Short Spotify stock then.

  16. Where's the Under Construction sign? on '90s-Style 'Captain Marvel' Website Will Have You Nostalgic for Dial-Up (movieweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Also, where's the blink tag?

  17. Why use boiling water? on Eight People Suffer Burns After Attempting Viral 'Boiling Water Challenge' (abc13.com) · · Score: 1
    If you want to see water turn to powder, why not just use room temperature water?

    The real stupidity is throwing the water straight up, or throwing it against the wind.

  18. Re:"have every right to make a bad decision" on Hundreds Rally For Their Right To Not Vaccinate Their Children (msn.com) · · Score: 1

    "We are not fucking barbarians anymore. This is the 21st century. We live in a civilized society now, or at least we should be. And in civilized societies, human beings don't own other human beings. Your children are not your children, no matter what your fucking animal instincts tell you."

    We still are barbarians, considering maybe a million babies each year have the circumcision procedure imposed on them by their parents.

  19. Re:Understood on Hundreds Rally For Their Right To Not Vaccinate Their Children (msn.com) · · Score: 1

    But if YOU already got the vaccinations, then why does it matter if they don't?

  20. I shudder when I see a TBA tracking # on Amazon Quietly Confirms It Is Competing With UPS and FedEx (businessinsider.nl) · · Score: 1

    That means it's shipped by Amazon's delivery service and there's a good chance it'll get lost. They're worse than UPS, which is pretty bad.

  21. Re:GTFO of Virginia, too. on Facing Opposition, Amazon Reconsiders NY Headquarters Site: Report (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Looks like you'll have twice as many people coming to Virginia now.

  22. Re:I'm having a very hard time being empathic on t on YouTube Strikes Now Being Used As Scammers' Extortion Tool (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Why does YouTube even need to pay people? So many narcissistic people out there would put up the same videos even if YouTube didn't get paid. Other educational videos would be posted as well, similar to how Wikipedia editors keep doing what they're doing without being paid.

  23. No, Black Panther is at 97%, while Get Out is at 98%.

  24. How will the DevOps proponents explain this?

  25. Re:Who even uses this on Windows Media Player Set To Lose a Feature on Windows 7 (onmsft.com) · · Score: 1

    What sort of "malicious updates" broke critical features in XP?
