  1. Re:More info to come on Samsung Says It Will Unveil a Foldable Smartphone this Year (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

  2. Re:Silly Indians... on India Pushes Back Against Tech 'Colonization' by Internet Giants (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    "As a country, we have to all grow up and say that, you know, enough of this" you and u.s. both, friends. i already said i don't want youtube red, dammit!

  3. amazing how quick on Chrome Browser Turns 10 (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    amazing how quick the fresh take on the browser became mundane and bloated.

  4. they didn't wake up the crew to fix it immediately because they were in no danger? are resources in space so infinite that you can just yolo leak with disregard? >_>

  5. Re:And re-invented over and over again ... on IRC Turns 30 (www.oulu.fi) · · Score: 1

    "Though several mainstream services have ended support for IRC over the years" in my personal echo chamber, most of the people i know are getting tired of all the electron apps and going back to irc *shrug*

  6. depends if we can get that value from the graph api. if not then it doesnt really matter at all, some internal number for their bullshit. we track how many users report problems and how many were flagged as NOTABUG and id be a liar if i said didnt use that ratio to determine if i should even dignify the report with a response lol. but that is an internal affairs issue. if we can get this value out of the graph api though and it gets used for like... job applications, interest rates, immigration... granted if the score was provable as legit it could mean something but there is no way anyone could calculate it without some form of bias. so it really should not be.

  7. Re: Everyone knew the pump and dump was coming... on Fewer Than Half of Young Americans Are Positive About Capitalism (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    i would be surprised if half of them could even define it.

  8. Re: Rose colored glasses on Chemists Discover How Blue Light Speeds Blindness · · Score: 1

    rip anyone whose fav colour is blue. go go red. suck it blues!

  9. "it runs so hot we had to throttle it but we fixed that so now it will just melt as intended cuz you got the applecare plan too amirite"

  10. "tried to bar a student because his father was on a government blacklist is causing huge controversy in China" gonna be on so many lists now after stirring the shit, they can probably feel their social score dropping harder the bass.

  11. black mirror, whoa-ah-oh.

  12. Re: Not network neutrality issue. on Charter Launches Mobile Service, Throttles All Video To 480p (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    wouldnâ(TM)t streaming over an encrypted means break their ability to do anything about it? short of just not allowing more than x mbit/s

  13. Re: Yes, this only happens in poor countries. on How Cheap Smartphones Siphon User Data in Developing Countries (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    âoesays it uses the data to show targeted ads on the devices.âoe because people in developing areas using the cheapest of devices are going to have so much spare currency left over to spend at the places being advertised to them. how is that even an effective business model?

  14. for my 75th i want real explosions... maybe the drones will crash into eachother at least.

  15. probably more like cost too much on IBM Fired Me Because I'm Not a Millennial, Alleges Axed Cloud Sales Star in Age Discrim Court Row (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    being old at a company like that usually also means you have gotten a raise too many times and cost as much as 6 millennials >_> aint saying that's ethical or anything but that seems to be... well... happy murika day.

  16. not really a solution on The Secret to Disconnecting? Bring Back the 'Away' Message (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    all the apps that have away mods, i just leave on away 100% of the time and everyone who matters knows it. and new people to the chat younger than 25 don't seem to care, so it serves no point but fill my passive aggressive need to remind everyone i hate them all.

  17. Re: So their ratings are now going to become as... on Netflix Is Ending Reviews July 30th · · Score: 1

    handy that this is happening after they decided to invest into original content. wouldn't want people telling them their opinions on it.

  18. how do they justify it? on AMC is Creating a Rival Service To MoviePass (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    it sounds like an amazing deal. the amc in the mall in highland park (dallas) the tickets are usually about 16$ each before you even look at the food board. (in contrast, the amc in valley view which is literally an abandoned mall (and half demolished)) are only 6$. but this means for 20$ i can go sit with all the people ok with paying 16$ three times a month without showering or shaving just to stick it to The Mans that go there!

  19. how common was it before the internet for the dictionary to add random nonsense? kind of liked it better when the dictionary was an authority on what was and was not a word, so that you could be like "that is not a word" instead of everything just becoming a word. but maybe they have always been adding stuff and it just wasn't obvious because nobody ever bought new dictionaries, we all just used the one our parents gave us that their parents gave them over and over and over.

  20. Re:space on China Won't Solve the World's Plastics Problem Any More (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    double amusing if one exploded mid-launch once. surely that would have to happen at least once.

  21. trash in orbit sucks for things in orbit, but it would be kind of amusing if space-x started launching trash rockets into the sun or something.
