  1. Re: Because gubbermint! on Why Uber Can Find You but 911 Can't (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Because no tech company wants the responsibility. If we actually took care of each other instead of suing each other when something goes wrong this wouldn't be an issue.

    What happened to phasing out Thunderbird?

    Still easy to distinguish. Just wait a few seconds and then try to interrupt and see if it stops talking.

    As someone who is excruciatingly familiar with immigration services, there is a little box that is checked "this immigrant can perform the required tasks that no-one else can" (paraphrasing). This box is what is being exploited and this statement is what should be scrutinized. Basically employers are interviewing local talent, they don't want to pay that much, and then filling out the H1-B form.

    Can they use technology to reinvent Richard Henry Pratt too? Isn't that the point of being a globalist? One global uniform culture?

    Missouri must want all of us to live in misery by wasting their fucking time.

  11. Re: What a terrible headline on 'Something Is Wrong On the Internet' (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    I reported this a year ago and it was completely ignored. And it wasn't children, it frightens me. I was terrified my computer was being hacked and as a result the internet was acting slow and glitchy.

  12. Re:so.... MS was sick on Microsoft 'Was Sick', CEO Satya Nadella Says In New Book (intoday.in) · · Score: 1

    All the tech companies are sick. They think if an internal developer gets something working and hacked together that it is worth it for people to pay for their shit products. And of course we just take it because we have nothing better.

    Why is it called "disrupting" when Amazon does it, but when I do something it is called "trolling"?

  14. Except the jack is going away. Just what the world needs is more specialized speakers. Why isn't there an app for this? Why do I need a whole new device?

  15. I beg all of you reading this to consider on More Than Half of American Workers Can't Sue Their Employer (qz.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    What makes you think you even deserve a job? All jobs are is some amount of risk and organizational skills from an entrepreneur that has more/easier access to the resources we use to survive. An entrepreneur who has taken the risk of giving up those surplus resources in order to create something for you to do with your "skills". 2000 years ago, almost no one had a "voice" and the only thing of value worth doing was finding your own food and surviving. Now that the internet is nearly free and you can create something visual out of nothing but code, that "voice" has changed in to marketing departments. In my honest opinion, your skills are useless and underwhelming. Good luck feeding your family with ASCII/emojis.

    YOU HAVE TO FIGHT!! FOR YOUR RIGHT!!! TO PAAAAAARRTTAAAAY!! No one has inherited rights to a limited resources and fresh water is the most precious of all. You are all lucky someone is even willing to bottle it up and ship it to your locale.

    Stupid proprietary apps. Then the frustration of users would be directed at stupid Netflix instead of forcing the entire web to use their poor standards.

  18. I've poked both of these companies on Oracle's Larry Ellison Pokes Amazon Again With New Cloud Pricing Plan (siliconangle.com) · · Score: 1

    With absolutely zero response, these companies have the worst user interface I have ever seen. Their designs look like they haven't been upgraded since the early 90s. Anything coming out of either of them is a huge waste of time.

  19. Re:okay we get it, we eat plastic on We're Eating Plastics From Our Own Dirty Laundry (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I saw this documentary called Pyramids of Waste (free on Youtube), and it talked about how there use to be an indestructible panty-hose. They soon realized that people would stop buying after a few pairs because they lasted so long, and the company couldn't sustain. So they made them weaker so they tear. It's amazing that finally after 50 years we are seeing the consequences of these selfish actions. Washers, dryers, cloths, shirts, pants, cotton-wear are all meant to be worn down to a destructive state, THEN REPLACED FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Since it is biblical that you never should wear polyester, I don't see anything changing any time soon.

  20. This study really scares me.

  21. Tracking for advertising purposes is a double edge sword, and Apple just used it to cut the cheese. We humans want the ability to filter and determine what is available to us. But you don't know what you don't know, that includes new products. Good luck!
