    This wouldn't even be an issue if the concert promoters sold tickets at actual market value.

  7. Re:Despite the fact that we're in the 3D printer on MakerBot Launches New 'MakerBot Labs' Platform (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    Similarly at my last job, the boss has been clamoring for years to buy us a high end ($30k+) printer, and all the engineers continue to tell him not to. He gets furious because "it's the way of the future", and we tell him it's simply a tool for poor designers, who can't conceptualize things in a 3D CAD environment. For ergonomic studies, they can be useful, but our company makes industrial products that people don't usually see or interact with.

  8. Re:My favorite feature... on Slashdot Asks: What Are Your Favorite Android Oreo Features? (thehackernews.com) · · Score: 1

  10. Nothing to fear on Facial Recognition Could Be Coming To Police Body Cameras (defenseone.com) · · Score: 1

  11. Re:he's an idiot on Customer's 20-Year-Old Email Account Shut Down Over Unusual Address (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    . Graphic artists thought the programmers were a bunch of assholes. I managed to gain the respect of both teams from my hard work as the intern.

    This sounds like something an asshole would say.

  13. There's a fine line between helping and enabling on Microsoft Co-founder Pledges $30 Million To House Seattle's Homeless (cnn.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

  15. They didn't lose viewers on ESPN Has Seen the Future of TV and They're Not Really Into It (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    These customers were never actually viewers. They were simply former cable subscribers that subsidized ESPN despite having zero interest in watching sports.

  16. The camera owners bank on people not knowing this, and are often set up to issue tickets anyway. Most people, when told by an authority that they broke the law, will just assume they did and pay up. Also, I've noticed the laws in my state have been re-written over the years to make it a little ambiguous. When I was in drivers ed, decades ago, the law was clearly defined.

  17. Re:Silicon Valley Companies are Liberal, more at 5 on Apple Replaces The Pistol Emoji With A Water Gun (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    A spit-wad blowgun is insensitive to people with asthma. Maybe a rubber band stretched over a finger tip would be better.

  18. I'm all for advancement, but on Japan Says Yes To Mirrorless Cars (carscoops.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    one of the downsides of rear screens is that your eye has to change its focal distance. With a mirror, your eye is focusing at a true distance of the objects behind you. With a screen, you have to adjust to the distance of the screen. It's minor, but it can fatigue your eyes, and you lose all depth perception. Hopefully the enhanced field of view will outweigh the shortcomings.

  19. Unless this can park at a 500m depth, it will accumulate enough biomass to disable it in a matter of days. Also, looking at the shape of if, a simple machined aluminum hull would produce a cheaper, lighter, more durable hull, than any currently existing additive manufacturing technologies.
