  3. Re:You are probably right, but I resist on Kids In 'Netflix Only' Homes Are Being Saved From 230 Hours of Commercials a Year, Says Report (exstreamist.com) · · Score: 1

    and I really hate giving money to Google (but not so much that I don't host my business email with them, sigh). I probably should just bite that bullet.

    1.) use an ad blocker if you don't like giving money to google.
    2.) google get's most of its money from ads.
    3.) subscriptions for zero adverts are a cop-out - if you're going to subscribe, do it for any exclusive content.

  4. are you kidding me? on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way to Retrain Old IT Workers? · · Score: 1

    Let them train themselves, or promote them out of the problem area. Or leverage their skills in another way. Sometimes being smart about your workers and having to re-saavy-fy people are two very different things that you;'d have to measure.

  6. Re:Yet as a taxpayer, I pay for the stadiums on Facebook and YouTube Are Full of Pirated Video Streams of Live NFL Games (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    amen sister.

  7. I say this in response to the article with all due respect to the athletes ..... SO THE FUCK WHAT .... wanton commercialism has made this "sport" boring as fuck. Pirate it. Athletes should be glad someone is watching them. Why should they care if a group of old white neo-fascists is profiting from their toils? Ticket sales / stadium beer prices alone, in large part, are enough to pay player salaries. Cable companies and the NFL can go fuck themselves.

  8. Black Taxes, White Taxes ... what's the difference?

    As a proud (lol) alabamian, we WILL seat Roy Moore, the candidate of Jesus. In many ways, Roy Moore IS Jesus. At least he's not some tree humping vegan scumbag, you demololcat!

  10. What I want to know is, why was this guy Voits trying to hack into the prison? Sure, the report can show what he did (court papers: https://regmedia.co.uk/2017/12... ), but the story is missing the component of why? Why would Voits risk his life, fortune and livelihood to hack into this prison software? Who's record was he after? Was there a person he was specifically targeting to alter their record? The journalists here have found such a juicy headline, but I think they jumped the gun a bit on publishing.

  15. race is a bourgeois construct... on Facebook Still Lets Housing Advertisers Exclude Users By Race (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    ...and if you make any distinction surrounding race at all, you sir or madam are a racist. I think it is high time we start classifying people as human and move the fuck on. Race is a poor data point; it assumes much and provides little knowledge. It is intrinsically unfair. Just stop using it. Strike it from all forms, all databases, and all modalities of information sharing and hopefully within a generation or two, it will only exist in history books.

  16. How about just stopping this advertising nonsense... talk about wasting the minds and talents of engineers. Spend your engineering time solving real problems. Fucking marketing bros, ruining the internet.

  17. Re:DIY Cryptocurrency Mining... on An Ethereum Startup Just Vanished After People Invested $374K (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Climate change is real, the earth is heating up and dumbfucks sending a nuclear reactor worth of power for e-Monopoly money are the cause.

    I seriously lol'd at this. Just imagine a BTC farm being powered by a coal fired power plant ..... hah! They are the problem!
    Seriously though, if you spend $15000 on a mining rig, how much time / energy to mine 3 btc? Does the energy bill compare against running a heater to warm your house, as opposed to using the mining rig as the heater? Lastly, can I get one or two of your 1080ti cards you're wasting on monopoly money to run my games?

  18. From the article ... a hidden stream of telemetry data sent by OnePlus devices to the company's servers.

    When are we going to find out that this is a.) privacy violation; and b.) just dumb? Even if you can learn things about your users, even if that helps you, how is this better than talking to users? Asking questions? Getting honest feedback? Collecting telemetry is somehow ... dishonest. It's like you're lying to yourself, looking for a better picture, but what you're really getting is obfuscated view of truth. Sure, people clicked this, typed that, but if that's telling you something, then you're just hearing things.

  23. Re:shared knowledge on Americans at Risk of Identity Theft as They File their Tax Returns (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Objectively, yes. It's not corporate welfare for tax prep though. Tax Preparers are like any worker, there's a group of people who say they don't want to do their own taxes and there's a group of people saying 'i'll do that for money' ... simple supply/demand. Of course, these are also the people (especially in small business tax firms, like your local CPA) that help people hide/budget/invest their money, so there's also that service level to consider. Taxes are just one example of a government sponsored industry that would clearly benefit from automation but I genuinely feel that most people are scared to automate taxes for fear of actually paying them.
