  1. And Apple takes 30% on Report Reveals In-App Purchase Scams In the App Store (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    for each purchase. Unless they go over 100,000$ then Apple settles for less.

  2. It's the sad reality of mankind on What Are Some Documentaries and TV Shows That You Recommend To Others? · · Score: 1

    Watching it year after year, it's scary how close it has come to reality.

  3. 15 years to build 100km of TGV tracks in Holland on Hyperloop One Reveals Its Plans For Connecting Europe (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    And investors are lining up to throw their money at Hyperloop because they say they can build a network across Europe?

  4. 1 divided by 635,000,000 on Can Twitter Survive By Becoming A User-Owned Co-Op? (salon.com) · · Score: 2

    What a sense of ownership that must feel like!

  5. 50% of all VC capital on VC Founder Predicts AI Will Take 50% Of All Human Jobs Within 10 Years (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    will be squandered on meaningsless start-ups that burn harder through that cash than a SpaceX can light up at a launch platform.

  6. The Ministry of Truth on Facebook Shows Related Articles and Fact Checkers Before You Open Links (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Also eagerly supported by the WaPo, WSJ and other verified news sources.

  7. NSA Watson on IBM Watson Now Being Used To Catch Rogue Traders (siliconrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    Not sure if there aint a better purpose for an AI machine else then playing jeapordy and being the next NSA tool. But that exactly points out what it can't do. Watson would be more valuable if it could do the trading but I guess that is just a pipedream.

  8. Performance .... anyone? on Ask Slashdot: Do You Like Functional Programming? (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    If a programming language is functional by design I can image that it will also be optimized as part of the development. But does anyone know what happens if functional programming concepts are added to a non-functional language? Is there also any performance merit besides enjoying the merits of functional languages as a user? Or does it have performance implications due to the non-functional nature of the language?

  9. Bit late for April fool's day on Microsoft's Rumored CloudBook Could Be Your Next Cheap Computer (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    and I don't get the joke =?

  10. ISIS might also be an option on Russia Wants To Send A Gun-Shooting Robot To The ISS (mashable.com) · · Score: 0

    so test this thing on. With the Americans firing missiles without any justification, this doesn't sound so bad at all.

  11. Guilty as charged on The Great Japan Potato-Chip Crisis: Panic Buying, $12 Bags (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I admit that I do really like those potato chips. You're missing out on something delicious.

  12. No system impact when using +4 gigabyte on Firefox To Let Users Control Memory Usage (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    was what those engineering geniuses were always responding when people complained that FF was using 10~50 times as much memory compared to any other mainstream browser. Somehow I still don't believe them.

  13. sorry, it was me on Why Do Airlines Overbook? (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I am willingly admitting that I missed my flight once. But no one at China Airlines made any fuss about it and I was a happy man traveling on the next available flight.

  14. Boy, am I feeling old today....

  15. are probably the worst case of preying other people honest efforts to publish something.

  16. I lost 6 months worth of data on my Switch on Your Save Data Is Not Safe On the Nintendo Switch (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    so what's this John complaining about with his few hours of gameplay?

  17. Structure by indentation is a sensible approach on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Lies Programmers Tell Themselves? · · Score: 1

    .... if you haven't worked with any other decent programming language

  18. Quiet workplace and free soda on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Working Environment For a Developer? · · Score: 1

    is all that I would like to see. As if all the things matter when I'm staring all day at a text editor having to work with existing tools anyway.

  19. The best benchmark result they could find. on Google AMP Is Rolling Out For 1 Billion People In Asia-Pacific Region (meshrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    Probably Google's homepage or something. But the trick here is the lack of advertising stuff in the AMP pages. When adding that back again, AMP pages will be just as slow as any other conventional page. With the only exception that Google will be able to register everything when using AMP pages. Just as scary as the Google fiber ISP.

  20. Look at all those Tesla owners without a 3D printed case

  21. That is why Excel crashes all the time on OSX on Serious Computer Glitches Can Be Caused By Cosmic Rays (computerworld.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I was convinced that is was a lousy programming job by Microsoft that has more attention to fancy UX components rather than stability. I am waiting for the confirmation that the fact that Excel start searching every known (network) drive for a license if it can't connect to the online subscription service, for every operation, must be due to black matter. Unless it crashes when it tries to display that warning message, then it's just some cosmic ray again. So relieved!

  22. Start doing your own research instead of following the lies of BigPharma. Did you get your flu shot? Effectiveness 3% but good for big bonusses at all major Pharma companies.

  23. instead of all those natural ingredients like baking soda, lemon juice and vinegar, which are nasty substances because they are not patentable. Who is BigPharma going to make money off baking soda if everyone can make it?

  24. Helps you Java guys stay busy on How Open Sourcing Made Apache Kafka A Dominant Streaming Platform (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    because getting through those docs and getting the whole d*** thing to work is creating more jobs than it proclaims to save.

  25. Those are collected for the Olympic flame on Tokyo 2020 Olympic Medals To Be Made From Recycled Phones (silicon.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    and you don't need nearly as much devices to keep that fire going as for those stupid medals.
