  1. This is so funny to someone who knows basic histology. They discovered that you can get a whole lot of attention by reframing well-known tissue as a new organ. And hopefully some research grants. That's the real discovery.

  2. And how many people die in or by hand driven cars? on Self-Driving Uber Car Kills Arizona Woman in First Fatal Crash Involving Pedestrian (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    And how many people die in or by hand driven cars?

  3. Transparency is easy on Ask Slashdot: Should You Tell Your Coworkers How Much You Make? · · Score: 1

    Transparency is easy. Any larger company with more than, say, ten employees should have a clear transparent policy on what a job is with based on job descriptions and years of experience. No individual negotiations on salary required.

  4. Re: Good on The Wikipedia Zero Program Will End This Year (medium.com) · · Score: 0

    "It's hypocritical for anyone to support Wikipedia zero and also support net neutrality." Only +1???? The person (or system) who dealt out that +1 isn't very insightful.

  5. Only if you use Windows 10. Which is nonfictional on his computer. Windows 10 is always fictional.

  6. Re: Another douche bites the dust. on YouTube Suspends Ads on Logan Paul's Channels After 'Recent Pattern' of Behavior in Videos (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree but it would help to see things in perspective. Posting a video where you say something that offends some politically overcorrect feminist is a different league than looking to make profits of a suicide.

  7. The âtook five months..." link actually links to https://venturebeat.com/2018/0...

  8. Re: What's a computer? on Tablet Shipments Decline For 13th Straight Quarter (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 2

    That's because Apple's tablets are actually useful, and software is designed to use the tablet functionality. If there's one ecosystem that's only about consumption rather than functional uses, it's Apple's. It's fine if you're happy with your Apple products but don't fool yourself into mixing up the advantages of each ecosystem.

  9. Clean energy is not a good deal on White House Seeks 72 Percent Cut To Clean Energy Research (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Clean energy is not a good deal. Destroying the world is, at least in the short term. Although the climate is already rapidly changing.

  10. The time between this becoming public and Apple's statement that they wouldn't do that intentionally, is just how long i guess it would take them to cover their tracks that it was intentional. This statement would be trustworthy if it had been published right away. Now it just confirms what many suspect: planned obsolescence.

  11. Well... It's back to downloading MP3's then on Spotify Hit With $1.6 Billion Copyright Lawsuit (spin.com) · · Score: 1

    For many, the music industry was better organised than the video industry. Most music was available on Spotify. I understand where the rights holders are coming from, but they should carefully consider the risk of fragmentation.

  12. Re: apple is for the dumb on Apple Will Replace Old iPhone Batteries Regardless of Diagnostic Test Results (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple designed their chips to be like this in the first place. So there's no excuse that this is a good solution. It's a screwup by Apple, whether you blame hardware design or software. And in either case, their arrogant attitude towards their customers is astonishing.

  13. Re: Educational thing on Should Plant-Based Meat Replace Beef Completely? (pbs.org) · · Score: 1

    Fixed that for you. Humans require meat. Nope. There's nothing in meat a human needs. Other than good PR. In fact, when it comes to your health, eating meat reduces your life expectancy if anything.

  14. Re: vegetarianism is species racism on Should Plant-Based Meat Replace Beef Completely? (pbs.org) · · Score: 1

    This isn't about plant rights. It's about the strain meat puts on the environment. Oh, and on the health care system. That too.

    Thank you :-) It's also about taking some responsibility for my words.

  18. Re: Hopefully this will be the end of equifax on Equifax Breach is Very Possibly the Worst Leak of Personal Info Ever (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    That's a great system. Much better. Add fines for such data leaks and... Oh well that won't happen in a corporocracy like the us. They don't realise it's really a coprocracy.

  19. Re: If I used that example on It's Official: Users Navigate Flat UI Designs 22 Percent Slower (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    They should stop translating everything. I can't even work with office in my native language. Imagine Boolean operators like AND, OR not working because you have to use your native language version and , being swapped with ; in formulas. Menu should be menu regardless of your language. And I'm no native English speaker and never lived in such a country.

  20. Re: Excellent rechargability? on Australian Scientists Figure Out How Zinc-Air Batteries Can Replace Lithium-Ion Batteries (gizmodo.com.au) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This is our monthly "revolutionary battery" news item. There's always something wrong. Too big, too heavy, too few charge cycles, too slow to charge, too expensive, etc. The batteries never actually get practically produced. The purpose of these news items is for the research group to get funding. Don't expect anything from this as a consumer.

  21. That's exactly my analysis. On the other hand, leave it up to Apple to sell crappy alternatives as a great improvement.

    Still, sending a probe there now would be awesome imho.

  23. Re: How is an iPhone not a "Chinese phone"? on iPhones Are Priced 'High in the Extreme' But They're Worth It, Says Apple Co-founder Wozniak (scmp.com) · · Score: 1

    You seem to be stuck in Apple's logic. What is mounting as a usb device worth if you can't use the files you copy on it like mp3's. For the positioning of the cursor: just swipe the space bar. It may not work the way you, as an Apple user, expect, but it works in other equally well ways.

  24. The real problem is sugar rush addiction on Artificial Sweeteners Associated With Weight Gain, Heart Problems In Analysis of Data From 37 Studies (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    It's not about calories but about your addiction to sugar rushes. Sweeteners are like e-cigarettes. The real solution is modifying your addiction behavior. But that's hard so people don't want to hear it.
