  1. WTF are these lunatics doing? on EU Threatens Twitter And Facebook With Possible 'Hate Speech' Laws (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Illegal speech? What is this?
    Who defines what is hate speech? Some consider all dissent as hate speech. This is madness.

  2. Is this the young earth creationist wet dream, that would make it possible for the earth to be 5000 years old?

  3. Grass is green on Religious Experiences Have Similar Effect On Brain As Taking Drugs, Study Finds (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So they discovered that participating in what they have been brought up to rejoice and be in awe of actually causes them joy. I'd be more surprised if the result were the opposite.

    That's why people sign up and most never get rid of these delusions because it makes them feel good about themselves. They realize that santa and the easter bunny are not real, somehow they can't do the same thing with their deity and it's prophets.

  4. All this talk about self sufficiency. on Why Tesla's New Solar Roof Tiles and Home Battery Are Such a Big Deal (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Yet it's never mentioned that manufacturing tempered glass tiles takes at least 3 times the energy compared to regular old clay. Where is that taken into account?

  5. And this is why I don't subscribe on More Unblocking Companies Give Up Their Fight Against Netflix (techspot.com) · · Score: 1

    Until they start showing everything worldwide without any sort of geoblocking

    The reason the movie industry doesn't want to sell worldwide licenses to netflix is because they think they can strong-arm a better licensing deal out of local tv stations if the content is not already available on netflix there. But if they stopped to think for one second they'd realize that the audience of a local tv station has almost no overlap with the audience of an english speaking streaming service.

    It doesn't matter if it's up to netflix or not. IF they're not opening their entire library I'm not going to pay for it. Would you buy petrol at a petrol station if they told you that sorry, half of it is water, but it's not our fault?

  6. Fine, then don't expect me in your audience. on More Performers Are Demanding Audiences Lock Up Their Phones (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I avoid any concerts or performances where they specifically say I can't take pictures.
    If you want to threat me as a pirate then I'm not going to pay you money to see you. Recording for your own private use is fair use anyway. Noone is going to record the entire show from beginning to end on their phones. Only short parts, with extremely crap quality. Those videos ending up on youtube are actually advertisement for you you moron.

  7. That's why you need deflectors on 'Space Brain': Mars Explorers May Risk Neural Damage, Study Finds (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I thought it was obvious that you need some sort of radiation shielding for interplanetary space travel.

  8. Re: Not just asia on Samsung Plans To Sell Refurbished High-End Smartphones In 2017 (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    And of course I mean I can look out for other interests.

  9. Re: Not just asia on Samsung Plans To Sell Refurbished High-End Smartphones In 2017 (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I have a high end phone dipshit. Just because I can afford it, I can't look out for other interests apart from mine.

  10. Re:Not just asia on Samsung Plans To Sell Refurbished High-End Smartphones In 2017 (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    No no. Capitalism is terrible. Socialism is the best. Islam is the best. Just because it has never worked just means the "real" version hasn't been implemented.

    The only reason they want to move west is because of the war... it has nothing to do with the better everything.

    You know that there is capitalism everywhere in europe, right? There wasn't real socialism long before the iron curtain has fallen. We had capitalism since around the sixties. The fall of the iron curtain was nothing more than a formality for us. We've been going shopping to the west long before that.

    That's utter bullshit. A good lunch starts at around $5 and then you didn't buy any drinks and only a main course.

  12. Not just asia on Samsung Plans To Sell Refurbished High-End Smartphones In 2017 (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They should sell refurbished products for cheaper elsewhere too. It's not like less wealthy people only exist in asia.
    "where high-end devices costing $800 or so are beyond most buyers"
    You could say this about most of eastern europe, including the states in the EU. The average salary in my country is around 7000 USD / year so not many people can afford even 400 phones.

  13. Re:Racism is not a tool to fight racism with on WSJ: Facebook's Point System Fails To Close Diversity Gap · · Score: 1

    The only way to stop racism is to stop using the race card to get preferential treatment.

  14. This again? on WSJ: Facebook's Point System Fails To Close Diversity Gap · · Score: 1

    When will they finally learn that equality of outcome is not equality.

    Having exactly the same number of every ethnicity and every group and every gender in every job is not some sort of final equality, because it doesn't account for personal choice. Unless they want to do away with freedom of choice too, to achieve their equal outcome utopia.

    And somehow they never complain that cis white males are over represented in the lumber industry.

  15. Whatever gets the job done on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Bad Programming Ideas That Work? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    If it's a stupid idea and it doesn't get the job done, then it's just a stupid idea.
    If it's a stupid idea and it gets the job done, then it's a brilliant idea.

  16. Buzzfeed

    I instantly knew that everything I would see is cringe worthy uninformed bs. based solely on some feeling.

  17. Re:Not MS target demographic on All Windows 10 Kernel Mode Drivers Must Be Digitally Signed By Microsoft (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 2

    But you're only given that choice if you're big business. You can't go out and get a single windows license that allow you to run LTSB.

  18. The number of people that went into deep space is far too small a sample size to draw any kind of conclusion from.

  19. Video hell on Dark Patterns Across the Web Are Designed To Trick You · · Score: 1

    Videos are the least efficient way of conveying information over the net. That's why video reviews and video guides are worthless waste of bandwith. Videos are good for one purpose: Entertainment.

  20. What is this final countdown? on Chinese State Company Unveils World's Largest Seaplane (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Did I wake up for the 1930s? I thought interest in giant seaplanes died out after WW2.

  21. You can choose not to sell your product somewhere, but what legal method is there to prevent others from buying your product and resell them there?

  22. to see the Tesla hating Luddites flail.

  23. Yeah that should work on Google's New Emoji Aimed At Promoting Gender Equality Are Coming (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Clearly the genders aren't equally represented in the workforce because there were no matching emojis until now.

    Mum I want to be a welder girl, but I can't because there is no emoji for it.
    Or
    Mum I want to be a male nurse but I can't because there is no emoji for it.

  24. Nationalism on NASA's Juno Spacecraft Sends First Images From Jupiter (sciencedaily.com) · · Score: 0

    Sure bring nationalism into science, too. If it happened to arrive on the anniversary on the beginning of the 1st World War would you call it the "warmongering arrival" ?

  25. Re: Unsurprising on AI Downs 'Top Gun' Pilot In Dogfights (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I'm not able to walk because my grandfather was made to walk in WW1 and died doing it. I can walk because I have legs.

    You're able to walk because your great-times-n grandfather did something dangerous, namely coming down from the trees.

    Maybe n isn't so large, given this gem.

    Knowledge can't be passed down between generations, it's inherited.

    Sorry, I left out a "not" there. So to make it clear:

    Knowledge can't be passed down between generation genetically, it's not inherited. Is what I was trying to write but ended up butchering it.
