  1. This actually makes sense. So many jobs have been saved that not as many people need to find new ones.

  2. Too much news on Strange New Social Media Trend: Licking Nintendo Switch Cartridges (macon.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is what happens when you have a society that can no longer make things that are productive and all become journalists and bloggers with nothing of use to write about. Nintendo did this to try to curb an issue they saw. Someone with no real news to report decided to try to make this news. Now it's an issue for no real reason. I'm not against reporting whatever you want, just noting how pathetic society is in its need to consume 'news' that really isn't.

  3. The real question on One Billion Hours of YouTube Are Watched Every Day (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    How many are watched all the way through? Or even more than 15s.

  4. Let's see. My daughter and her boyfriend make a combined ~115k/year, both being just graduates in accounting and are paying $2000 for a single bedroom in Boston and are doing just fine. This guy pays a whopping extra $12k in rent yet it making an extra 45k a year. I'm not seeing a huge issue with SV.

  5. Re:Not really a success for the AI on Machine-Learning AI Now Beats Humans At Super Smash Bros. Melee (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    No, the purpose of AI should be that it can problem solve and adapt to a situation as well, or better than us. With an unfair reaction benefit it can actually problem solve worse, yet still win simply because it has an external advantage. That doesn't sound like a win for AI to me.

  6. Re:Interesting, but... on Scientists Discover a Way To Get Every Last Drop of Ketchup Out of the Bottle (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    You would be wrong. Its on the manufacturing side real savings will occur. Understand they talk about ketchup because it does just this, gets people talking about their product. Ketchup doesn't matter in their plan other than to help secure funding. There are processes that may or may not be food related where 10+% of product is lost due to the viscosity of the product. In fact the purpose of this money raising is to invest in their CleanTanX product line.

    Actually its not. The most savings could come in the manufacturing side that uses huge vats of ingredients. Those vats need to be cleaned and the losses are much larger than on the consumer end.

  8. If she weren't a whore she'd be alive too. 27 year old out drunk and joy riding in the 45 year old bosses Tesla.

  9. Re:a big win for Silicon Valley on CS Professor Argues Silicon Valley Is Exploiting Both H-1B Visas And Workers (huffingtonpost.com) · · Score: 2

    The vast majority of H1Bs work as cheap contractor labor doing day to day benign IT tasks. I so tire of SV trying to set policy when they aren't the norm.

  10. The government should charge $125k/year, or some other number, for each one. The company gets to take the salary off of that. That said, the ramp up to y2k allowed IT salaries to also become unrealistic for what most of the industry does and is qualified to do. It does need to adjust.

  11. Re:This is just incredible on How UPS Trucks Saved Millions of Dollars By Eliminating Left Turns (ndtv.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    Ya, if you're taking a freshman level cs course.

  12. Re:Something is missing on How UPS Trucks Saved Millions of Dollars By Eliminating Left Turns (ndtv.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Depends on whether shorter is time or distance.

  13. They got paid while they were working. Look at the app, they were all guilty of trying to milk the system for cash for something that isn't worth the money. Some people are born rich and will always have money, some aren't. That's life.

  14. Re:Illegal Laws on NYC Fines Airbnb Hosts For 'Illegal' Home Rentals (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Which is why its not the Feds who have doing this.

  15. And how many of those companies are frothing at the mouth over Trumps proposed tax holiday that'll let them bring their money back?

  16. Re:Problem was a lack of quality on IMDb Is Shutting Down Its Long-Running, Popular Message Boards After 16 Years (polygon.com) · · Score: 1

    Stupid for you, but useful for at least one other person. Even if its just their own entertainment.

  17. The things this generation deems as important.

  18. Re:I feel that lone sysadmin's pain on GitLab.com Melts Down After Wrong Directory Deleted, Backups Fail (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should be doing server maintenance on the actual machine that needs the maintenance? If you don't understand where your files actually reside then you should maybe be in another job.

  19. Re:Never give a number on Ask Slashdot: Should You Tell Future Employers Your Salary History? · · Score: 2

    Just because you have reason doesn't make it any of your business.

  20. lol on Server Runs Continuously For 24 Years (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

  21. Re:Butt out, Google. on Chrome Now Reloads Pages 28% Faster (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Write your own web browser then.

  22. What's the point of making it to the 1% if you can't send your kids to schools that others can't.

    No correlation to this story and management deciding that they'll get better support from a bunch of $15/hr h1bs. But hey, you stuck it to the man.

    Maybe you're the bad roommate. Be a better employee perhaps.

  25. Re:MS Nutty aquisitions on Minecraft Has Now Sold Over 25 Million Copies on PC and Mac (neowin.net) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Add in consoles, cell phones, extra skins and other dlc. And then merchandising. They are cleaning house with that acquisition. Not to mention they bought it oversees so paid for it with money that they couldn't bring back to shareholders without being taxed anyway. Whoever landed that deal deserved every stock option they gave him.
