  1. Re:Movie? on Color Movie Made of Pluto-Charon System · · Score: 1

    It's obviously a pixel perfect movie! Pixel as in pixel art. Better looking static images can be found on the NASA site, but I guess we'll have to wait a couple more weeks for a ring-side view.

  2. Never heard on YouTube Algorithm Can Decide Your Channel URL Now Belongs To Someone Else · · Score: 1

    None of my girlfriends have heard of this brand. It's not Avon or McDonalds. With a name as generic as that, it should be first-come first served. Shame on you, Google.

  3. Re:Scare quotes? on School Lunch Program Scans Student Thumbprints For 'Tracking Purposes' · · Score: 2

    Fingerprints have traditionally been used as a form of identification rather than as a monitoring tool. Tracking is when you combine that information with other information so you learn John doesn't eat healthy food.

  4. Re:Telomeres and murder on The Death of Aibo, the Birth of Softbank's Child-Robot · · Score: 1

    Well, you can at least draw a parallel to withholding medicine from a patient who can't quite pay.

    A more apt comparison would be a drug company stopping the production of an important but unprofitable drug. I imagine there are still people who own fully functional Aibots but not the number isn't high enough to justify Sony continuing to make spare parts.

  5. Re:TL;DR on The Future of AI: a Non-Alarmist Viewpoint · · Score: 1

    The irony about the typical high-tech dystopia is why the unemployed, downtrodden mass still exist. Since their services have become obsolete, the most logical consequence is that the working class will simply die out of starvation, unless their purpose is to live like zoo animals for the amusement of the upper class.
