  1. Re:More proof Trump is corrupt on Post Office Owes $3.5 Million For Using Wrong Statue of Liberty On a Stamp (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    So this thing that happened under Obama is somehow Trump's fault?

  2. I suggest a name change on EPA Blocks Warnings on Cancer-Causing Chemical: Report (politico.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Environmental Pollution Agency

  3. Re:Guess they haven't learned the lesson yet on Apple's New iPhones Will Come In a Plethora of New Colors, Says Report (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    > headphone jack This especially and one like the original iPhone that was powerful enough to drive good headphones before Apple crippled it due to parents complaining. I love music, so it sucks to see music demphasized by Apple.

  4. Re:Fake news. Under Trump... on In This Economy, Quitters Are Winning (wsj.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So lower unemployment, lower taxes, and "30% larger annual pay increases" for people changing jobs is a bad thing?

  5. Re:And this... on Micron Chip Sales Banned In China On Patent Case (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Which is why I always order from crucial.com. They've always accepted returns quickly unlike amazon.com or dell.com. Just sucks paying over twice as much from Dell when they send us memory sticks that don't work. You'd think they would know what memory would work on their own servers.

  6. Re:Great idea on South Korea Cuts Its Work Limit From 68 Hours a Week To 52 (cnn.com) · · Score: 0

    Wouldn't work in software since there's such a lack of programmers compared to demand and programming has such a huge communication overhead that it's more efficient to work more hours than add more people.

  7. I use away in Microsoft Teams and Skype... on The Secret to Disconnecting? Bring Back the 'Away' Message (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    and everyone ignores it. The problem isn't lack of the feature. The problem is the UIs don't make it obvious enough that someone is away.

  8. Re:Bullshit on Federal Facebook Probe Now Includes FBI, SEC: Report (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    > Trump then used that data to customize his speeches Not speeches, only one speech. They decided against using the data because they didn't trust it and didn't trust that they would continue to have access to it.

    I think the entire point behind casting her was to show that Delos Inc. was stupid and hired stupid people. She is very low intelligence so no one would cast her to play a character that isn't.

    Or imdb.com, which is owned by amazon.com? I watched Annihilation last night which got a 7.0 rating on imdb.com. That's pretty low, but it wasn't low enough. It's yet another terrible girl-power movie from Hollywood. The characters Anya and Josie were played by disgusting looking actresses. Hollywood is trying to be edgy by hiring disgusting looking people. The person(I use person since I don't know if it is really a female) that played Josie was also in Westworld. In Annihilation it is supposed to be a physicist that graduated from Cambridge and an upper level exec in Westworld, but neither are believable since the thing that plays that part is so stupid.

    I had a book published by Addison-Wesley that was pretty terrible, and they hired people to make positive reviews on amazon.com for it. Also, they asked me and my co-author to get our families and friends to do the same. I've ignored reviews on Amazon since then. Maybe I'm being too hard on myself since my book was the first one on that particular Agile topic so maybe it was better than nothing, but in retrospect, it isn't a very good book.

  13. Making good coffee is a pain in the neck on Coffee Drinkers Are More Likely To Live Longer. Decaf May Do The Trick, Too (npr.org) · · Score: 2

    I know when I was severely depressed I didn't have the energy to drive to the place I bought my beans, roast them myself, grind them, and use my french press. I just gave-up on making coffee for several months. The study probably has more to do with the motivation of the subjects rather than coffee.

  14. reddit does not require an email on Reddit's Case for Anonymity on the Internet (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 0

    Fake news is out of control. It's trivial to prove that wrong just by clicking on sign up at the top right then next to skip the email question. I don't get why so many journalists constantly like when they know they can trivially be proven a liar? In the past week, a guy attacked a newspaper he didn't like where a girl that had rejected him worked, so the local paper decided to lie and claim the guy was wearing a MAGA hat. There were several witnesses and even pictures proving that journalist a liar, but he still made the decision to try to get away with that lie. There are no ethics in journalism any longer.

  15. They don't have that information from before so they can't release it.

  16. Re:Sorry, but... on 'Why You Should Not Use Google Cloud' (medium.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As if servers doing down can't happen if you host it yourself. Also, this isn't a problem limited to Google. We've been getting a lot of emails from Amazon lately with the subject " [Retirement Notification] Amazon EC2 Instance scheduled for retirement."

  17. We have dozens of Dell Precision laptops... on ComputerWorld Says Newest Windows 10 'Isn't Ready for Prime Time' (computerworld.com) · · Score: 2

    that show the Windows loading screen and then a blank screen after this upgrade. We have Dell's highest level of support, and they don't even have a solution other than to reformat and reinstall Windows. It's not just not ready for prime time. It's simply not ready.
