  1. Re:Who the hell cares? on How Tech Companies Responded To Hurricane Florence (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Also they are donating and being generous unlike the oil and oddly enough water *cough*nestle*cough* companies that the politicians bow down to, who jack up the prices during a crisis to take advantage of the people that need help the most.

  2. Re:Our administration will take credit for all thi on How Tech Companies Responded To Hurricane Florence (qz.com) · · Score: 0

    That escalated quickly lol. Just because I misspelled this?

  3. Our administration will take credit for all this. on How Tech Companies Responded To Hurricane Florence (qz.com) · · Score: 0

    His efforts were a yuge success. Just like Maria where there were only 18 deaths and anything more is a democrat conspiracy to discredit him. When we all know the credit goes to these tech companies and not to the government at all. He thinks throwing paper towels at people is all it takes.

  4. For some reason it's really popular on Actuarial Science Ranked As Most Valuable College Major (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    At the high school I work at, there's at least 3 kids that are like "I want to be an actuary". I guess because it's an easily accessible field for math nerds.

  5. Maybe they should get their own internet working first or at least sell customers what they're getting. There's some outlaying areas around me that don't have cable service. Frontier sells people 7Mb DSL that barely hits 768k. That's not much faster than dialup and these people are paying $59.95 for it.

  6. Re:problem should be fought at the source on Giant Trap Is Deployed To Catch Plastic Littering the Pacific Ocean (nytimes.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What they fail to mention is that this was engineered by 15 year old, who is now 24 it took him 9 years to get anybody to listen to him. It was engineered to clean up the garbage patches. Not as a permanent solution to garbage in the ocean.

    We're all impostors. Just do whatever it is you think you can do the best you can. If people like it great. If not, do something else.

  9. Re:It would be better on NASA Is Offerring $1 Million To Turn CO2 Into Sugar (space.com) · · Score: 1

    If you turned it into beer. How would you carbonate the beer?

  10. What's the benefit? on Get Ready For Atomic Radio (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Why is this better than current radio?

  11. The threat isn't that kids are loyal to chromeos on Is Chrome OS Threatening Windows? (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It's that they're growing up being able to use any OS and they don't care which OS they use. Throw them android in front of them ok whatever. iOS sure. Windows bring it on. So they are no longer loyal to a single OS.

  12. Hillary is the other side of the same crooked evil coin. The DNC needs to be abolished. We need to get rid of the two party system, super pac's, the electoral college and every other engrained part of the corrupt system that is enabling these crybaby "fake news" millionaires to remain where they are. On both sides of the aisle.

  13. At this point they should just throw in the towel. Instead they just keep making themselves look worse. If anybody involved in this tries to start another company people are going to steer clear.

  14. This was really confusing on Reality Winner Sentenced To More Than 5 Years For Leaking Info About Russia Hacking Attempts (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    I thought it was about a reality tv show at first. It took me a while to figure out her name was "Reality Winner"

  15. It shouldn't be required by law. on California May Become First State To Require Companies To Have Women On Their Boards (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Instead their should be some kind of incentive for them not to be sexist assholes. You can't outlaw this. You force women on the board and they'll still be marginalized, probably even more so because the rich old white guys are going to be super pissed that they were forced to include them.

  16. Re:Way to make money? Force customers to pay month on With DaaS Windows Coming, Say Goodbye To Your PC As You Know It (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    or ChromeOS most people looking for a PC now are just looking to pay bills and browse the web. I recommend a chromebook or a monitor and chromebox. No complaints yet.

  19. Re:Cable and Internet is cheaper than just Interne on Cord-Cutting Keeps Churning: US Pay-TV Cancelers To Hit 33 Million in 2018 (Study) (variety.com) · · Score: 2

    Because with mediacom there's a data cap and the 50 Mb down only has 200Gb cap. Which with a family watching Netflix, Amazon, Hulu we hit that in less than two weeks. The 100 Mb down has a 1Tb cap.

  20. Why is a new theme news? on Microsoft Teases New Outlook.com Dark Mode (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Why is this news? I'm not quite understanding this. Are they going to hold a press conference when they release it?

  21. Some people use mobile for home internet. on Charter Launches Mobile Service, Throttles All Video To 480p (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    That's where this becomes an issue. There's areas near me where the only provider available is a shitty dsl provider whose service isn't much better than dialup. People are paying for 4Mb but get closer to 1 or less. So people use their cell phones for internet. Would this include streaming video going through a hotspot? If so that's a problem.

    Are you seriously trying to gatekeep job burnout? This is some quintessential crotchety greybeard material.

    gatekeep? You going to call someone a virtue signaller next?
