  5. Obligatory Ferengi quote on Are Silicon Valley Workers Abandoning Libertarianism For Socialism? (salon.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Despite a grueling work culture and a high-profile collusion scandal among major tech corporations to suppress software engineers' wages, tech workers were more likely to see themselves as future founders than an exploited underclass -- a point of view encouraged by employers through high wages and generous, often absurd office perks.

    "You don't understand. Ferengi workers don't want to stop the exploitation. We want to find a way to become the exploiters."

    - Rom, responding to Bashir's suggestion that he form a union

  6. The researchers disrupted nearly 20,000 genes in more than 300 lab-grown tumors made from 30 different types of cancer. The results, published in the journal Nature, revealed 6,000 crucial genes which at least one type of cancer needs to survive.

    It's not even over 9000 crucial genes. Not impressed.

  7. Fuck everything, we're doing 32chan.

  8. The Deceptive Experiences To Online Users Reduction (DETOUR) Act...

    Yet another fucking so-called "acronym" that was built backward. They started with the acronym they wanted and just plugged words until it almost sounded like english.

  9. Re:US needs to do this too on China Wants To Ban Bitcoin Mining · · Score: 1

    Not the people who mined a few months after Bitcoin was created.

    I remember reading a comment on Slashdot, something along the lines of "...after I could only mine half a bitcoin per day on my laptop, I stopped doing it because I thought it was pointless."

  10. Re:Opportunity for hardware development elsewhere on China Wants To Ban Bitcoin Mining · · Score: 1

    Bitcoin is being banned because it's a proof-of-work cryptocurrency. Why the hell would you want to replace it with another proof-of-work cryptocurrency?

    Let the green proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies such as Reddcoin, which don't require anywhere near the same amount of power, replace the wasteful proof-of-work cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

    Since it was first established in 1998, the International Space Station has been visited by hundreds of astronauts (227 to be exact).

    So, exactly 2.27 hundred astronauts.

  19. Besides that, their whole methodology is crap, as has been noted many times over: if there are plenty of messages asking for help on stackoverflow, maybe it's because users are struggling with a language, not because it's 'popular'. A language that is very easy to learn on your own wouldn't have any messages now would it ?

    No mod points today, so here's a "virtual +1 Insightful" for you.

    I also wish people would stop making such false correlations, it's almost as stupid as these ones.

  20. Re:Tesla shorts are shaking on Fiat Chrysler Will Pay Tesla To Dodge Billions In Emissions Fines (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    This is a way to get ICE cars to subsidize EV without having to do so specifically.
    With this solution the automakers also gets a choice. They can either focus more on EV themselves or they can do like Fiat and subsidize someone who does.

    That still doesn't invalidate the fact that Chrome is based on Safari (Webkit), not the other way around.
