  2. Of course he defends it on Alibaba Founder Defends Overtime Work Culture As 'Huge Blessing' (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Using people unwilling or unable to say no to exploitation, has always been the preferred choice for building an empire.

  3. The quickest way to ruin the joy of any hobby on Making Video Games Is Not a Dream Job (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    is making it into a fulltime job.

  4. If we look past minor details like you know, the lack of any proof of security breaches. If it came down to it, I think I'd rather want to send my data to China then the US...

  5. Re:Spying for the communist party included on New Huawei Phone Has a 5x Optical Zoom, Thanks To a Periscope Lens (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Where is the proof? I think it is a safe bet to say that currently there are many, many security exports taking a close look at Huawei phones. But to my knowledge none has come out yet and said that Huawey phones transfer any more user telemetry then your average modern smartphone would do.

  6. My sympathies for the people.. on Oracle's Surprise Unannounced Layoffs 'Clear-Cut Teams of Engineers' (ieee.org) · · Score: 5, Informative

    but none for the company. Bullying and extortion is not a valid long term business strategy.

  7. No on Are We Getting Close To Flying Taxis? (knpr.org) · · Score: 0

    Next question.

  8. Pretty much worthless on Microsoft Open-Sources Windows Calculator (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    As I read the statement, I literally saw a scene in my mind of an empty space with tumbleweed blowing by.

  9. Luckily it's all irrelevant on Self-Driving Cars May Hit People With Darker Skin More Often, Study Finds (futurism.com) · · Score: 1

    A self driving car does not need to specifically recognize people, only object of any type to avoid crashing into them.

  10. Except for online payment systems, I can't for the life of me think of a web page important enough for me to give them my phone number and/or personal information in general. I'd rather lose my login instead if that's what it comes down to.

  11. Leveling off != dying on Is The Attention Economy Dying? (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Why is everybody so surprised in the financial sector every time the growth of starts to level off?

  12. My phone history last 6+ years.. on Samsung Announces Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, and Galaxy S10E Smartphones (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    2012 - Samsung Galaxy S3 2016 - Samsung Galaxy S7 2019 - Samsung Galaxy S10? Maybe, if it still has a audio jack The S3 to S7 was a big upgrade, noticeable faster an MUCH better camera. But frankly after the S7 i don't really feel a need to upgrade. It's plenty fast, battery seems fine and the camera is still good enough.

  13. Health care != profit on Goldman Sachs Asks: 'Is Curing Patients a Sustainable Business Model?' (cnbc.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The main problem is looking at health care as a profit driven business in the first place. Take a look at Europe / Scandinavia for examples of much better models.

  14. We keep reading about stuff like this, and companies wonder why the workforce no longer have any loyalty towards their employers and will jump ship as soon as something better comes along?

  15. The days when Apple was in a position to dictate terms is gone, or going away fast.

  16. No, because on Ask Slashdot: Could An AI Conceivably Create Futureproof Product Designs? · · Score: 1

    Design has long since stopped being about functionality, and is now more about the latest trend. And trends aren't logical, they are driven by marketing to increase sales.

  17. Simple solution on A Tiny Screw Shows Why iPhones Won't Be 'Assembled in USA' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    Apple just needs to be less Apple and use standard screws instead.

  18. I now ignore 5G articles on First 5G Remote Surgery Completed In China (ubergizmo.com) · · Score: 1

    The only reason I clicked on this article, was to post that I am now at the point where I instantly ignore articles if they have the word 5G in them.

  19. Just look at Slashdot on Chrome on Windows 10 To Get Dark Mode Feature Soon (hothardware.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This page is a prime example of something in need of a dark mode.

  20. Microsoft world leader in Embrace, extend, and extinguish.

  21. Next question.

  22. "Overall, this year has seen exponential growth in electric car sales," Veloz wrote. "Electric cars accounted for 7.1 percent of California car sales in the first three quarters of the year, with fully electric, zero-emission car sales outpacing plug-in hybrid sales 4.1 percent to 3 percent respectively."

    Californian's might not be as progressive as they think they are. In Norway it is predicted that 45% of all cars sold in 2018 where electric. And in the capital Oslo, 47.9 percent of all cars on the road are electric.

  23. This will be the final straw that sparks a peoples revolution in China? I have a suspicion the government dosent fully understand just how important games can be to the younger generations.

  24. The future is anything not open floor plan based on What is the Future of Office Spaces? (weforum.org) · · Score: 1

    I'd be more happy with more or less anything other then so called open plan 'offices'. Literally anything..

  25. Give them five more, at least on Amazon Promised Drone Delivery In Five Years Five Years Ago (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    When Amazon started speaking about drone delivery, the collective drone dev community was shaking their heads. The real drone community that is, and not the 'I'll say anything to get some sweat VC money' part of it.
