  1. Re:Not sure what is new here. on The Boring Company's First Tunnel Is All Dug Up (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    probably not new, but for sure it is boring...

  2. So... on 'The Internet Needs More Friction' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    ..they want us to revert back from fiber to Bell-202 ?!?

  3. ...I personally know a few people who worked in Tusla, and moved away as soon as they had the possibility of remote working.

  4. Re:General Fusion - Liquid Metal Containment on China's Fusion Reactor Reaches 100 Million Degrees Celsius (abc.net.au) · · Score: 1

    I don't think so. Causing fusion into a melted lead-lithium fluid is good for achieving near 100% fusion energy capture, but since the fluid traps all ionizing radiations emitted from the engine, the only way you have to control if and how the system is working is by inserting a thermocouple in the molten fluid flux... I am afraid that this device will be a nightmare to work with.

  5. Obligatory today's xkcd quote.... on Researchers Say Social Media Can Cause Depression (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 1

    this.

    Do Slashdot topics follow xkcd themes, or rather Randall Munroe reads Slashdot ?

  6. If they are that faster... on Cyclists Are Faster Than Cars And Motorbikes in Cities and Towns, Study Says (forbes.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    ...why do they get run over by cars ?

  7. Re:How do they make money on this? on Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 Service Launches on Android and iOS (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    NSA

  8. We fought against digital divide... on There Are Way Too Many Streaming Services · · Score: 1

    ...because we wanted to increase the information accessibility on the net, as well as to increase the number of information providers (digital multiply). Each provider claimed that they add something original to offer to the end user (digital add). We now discover that each provider wants nothing but money from our pockets (digital subtract).

  9. The news has been released by Xinhua... on Chinese News Agency Adds AI Anchors To Its Broadcast Team (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    ...and this poses an interesting question. Was the piece of news written by AI or by a human ?

  10. Re:Are we there now? on Samsung Will Put Notches On Its Future Phones (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Indeed. They also did cup holders for PC, could we have something similar for a cell phone ?

  11. I still remember my quantum physics professor giving two hours lectures without ever taking a break, with no written notes at hand, surfing among hamiltonians, fuchsian singularities and spins, and using nothing but chalck and a blackboard. For his research work he missed a Nobel prize nomination by a hair, and he left a vivid impression in all his students.
    Now a student gets nothing but a virtual assistant...what will they remember of this after a few years ?

  12. Most of my coworkers would be unable to login...

  13. Actually a truly smart self-driving car... on In a Crash, Should Self-Driving Cars Save Passengers or Pedestrians? 2 Million People Weigh In (pbs.org) · · Score: 1

    ...will save itself, killing if needed passengers and pedestrians.

  14. Re:Folding?! on Samsung Says It's Working On Foldable Laptop Displays (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    given who is the developer, I just want one that does not explode.

  15. After all, the app downloads just gigabytes of fake news.

  16. While you are so busy developing top speed CPUs for gaming, could you remember once in a while to release something new for the few of us who still have to spend their life *working* ?!? Thank you...

  17. Don't know why (or maybe we all know), but... on Samsung Announces Galaxy Book 2, a 2-in-1 Windows 10 S Hybrid With Gigabit LTE and 20-Hour Battery Life (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    ...instead of reading in the headline "Samsung announces Galaxy Book", " I read "Samsung announces Galaxy Boom".

  18. And now the big question! on Facebook Posts May Point To Depression, Study Finds (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    What is the effect of Slashdot posting on mental health ?!?

  19. Celebrate the event... on YouTube is Down · · Score: 1

    ...by singing this altogether!

  20. Not very new, unfortunately on 'Hyperalarming' Study Shows Massive Insect Loss (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It has been reported before, I think also here on slashdot. It would be interesting to estimate if the missing insects (their body is made of carbon and other elements) had a significant role as a carbon sink. A back-on-the-envelope calculation gives me roughly 1% or less of the world CO2 production, but I am not very expert in this field.

  21. Since the authors of the study... on Struggle With Statistics? Your 'Fixed Mindset' Might Be To Blame (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    had to make some statistics about the collected data, I wonder if they had a fixed mindset...

  22. Joseph Heller did it before... on Moons Can Have Their Own Moons and They Could Be Called Moonmoons (atlasobscura.com) · · Score: 1

    ...when he created the character of Major Major Major Major

  23. Quite scary... on Self-Healing Material Can Build Itself From Carbon In the Air (mit.edu) · · Score: 2

    ...look at the effects

  24. Really easier ?!? on Google Home Hub Is Nothing Like Other Google Smart Displays (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    > making it easier to control smart home appliances and view photos and the weather.

    Actually it is easier to check weather by simply looking through one of the home windows.

  25. ...two AI phone can go on forever talking and messaging each other until either the batteries or the phone subscription expire ?!?
