  1. Re:Google breaks the web, yet again on Google Is Killing Off the Pixel 2, Inbox, goo.gl URL Shortener, and Google+ This Week (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Google was also late to the game, not early. The Google fanboyism around here gets ridiculous sometimes.

  2. Answer on Why Hasn't The Gig Economy Killed Traditional Work? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Because it's killing its workers.

  3. Wrong right out of the gate on What's The Correct Way to Pronounce 'GIF'? (thenewstack.io) · · Score: 0

    " That's why when everyone comes across the word for the first time, they use a hard G [as in "gift"]."

    Except, for the small problem that this absolutely isn't true. Wishing it, doesn't make it so. Neither does pissing your money away on a domain name.

  4. Oracle needs to share their drugs on Oracle Tells Supreme Court Google Copyright Breach Knocked It Out Of Smartphone Market (crn.com) · · Score: 1

    Whatever they're on is amazing!

  5. Slashdot Phones it in Again on Warner Music Signs Record Deal With an Algorithm (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Heaven forbid you read the thing before you post it. "Warner Music Signs Record Deal With an Algorithm" --> "the deal is crucially not for "an algorithm,"

  6. For The Love of God, Video Next! on Firefox To Block Auto-Playing Audio Starting March 2019 (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3

    Autoplay *anything* has to be stopped.

  7. Re:But I mean, how do we know? on Facebook Shares Shoot Up After Strong Q4 Earnings Despite Scandals (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Facebook's numbers have always been a made up fantasy. What do you expect in a world where nobody cares what the facts are?

  8. No! *ding* *ding* *ding* *ding*

  9. Them: "BUT FREE STUFF!"
    Me: It's not really free.
    Them: "FREE. STUFF."

  10. Re:Surprised they don't find it worthwhile on Google Criticized Over Its Handling of the End of Google+ (vortex.com) · · Score: 1

    I used to work with people at Google 12 years ago. The engineers were great, but everyone else I dealt with there was arrogant, incompetent, and totally smitten with themselves.

  11. Giving people what they don't want is kind of what Google exists for. They consider the failure to want it to be yours, not theirs.

  12. It is a continuing source of irritation. No, I don't want to turn on Google Assistant. If they'd let you remove it completely, I would.

  13. "Criminal Thanks Other Criminals For Help" on Ajit Pai Thanks Congress For Helping Him Kill Net Neutrality Rules (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Fixed that headline for ya.

  14. Encryoted Source != Open Source on Node.js Event-Stream Hack Reveals Open Source 'Developer Infrastructure' Exploit (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    "The malicious code was also hard to spot because the flatmap-stream module was encrypted."
    Seems like a problem here is the code was not in fact by any rational definition, "open".

  15. Jeezuschrist on How Google Photos Became a Perfect Jukebox for Our Memories (medium.com) · · Score: 2

    "Google Photos, introduced in 2015, has become one of the most emotionally resonant pieces of technology today" get your tongue out of Google's ass already, it's unseemly. You're going to get arrested for killing us with hyperbole, dude.

  16. Tells you everything about Slack on Slack Doesn't Have End-to-End Encryption Because Your Boss Doesn't Want It (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Money money money. Speaking of money, when the boss and the boss's boss are fired and by shareholders for gross and possibly illegal negligence with legally protected data and company trade secrets, I'm sure Slack will pitch in for his lost income and legal expenses.

  17. Well isn't that conveeeeeeniet on Apple Demands $9 Billion From Google For Default Search On iOS (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    Makes a big dent in that payment they have to make to Irish tax authorities.

  18. Premise fail on We Hold People With Power To Account. Why Not Algorithms? (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    We _do not_ hold people with power to account. So this is a nonsense question.

  19. Layling low is key to getting away with it on Citing 'Moral Requirement To Make Money', Pharma CEO Jacks Drug Price 400% (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    You know, the government knew all about Shkrelli's crimes before he raised the price of that drug. And then he got known for being an asshole that raised a generic drug's price in this same way, forcing the government to do something about him. Congratulations, Nirmal Mulye, you've just made yourself very interesting to the FBI.

  20. The Problem Never Really Existed on The 'Scunthorpe Problem' Has Never Really Been Solved (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The solution to the problem has always existed. Turn off the dumbass filter.

  21. That sums up America pretty well on Mass Shooting Reported at Madden Video Game Tournament in Florida (polygon.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Losers with guns kill lots of people.

  22. We need to stop with this "we don't want companies censoring" bullshit. Taking down fake news is not an editorial choice, it's taking out the trash. It's *everyone's* responsibility to put a stop to Alex Jones and foreign hostile powers ability to piss all over our home.

  23. In Comcast vs. Google the GOP has no predetermined outcome. Both companies are not considered friendly to their interests.

  24. Lies, lies, lies on Google Warns Android Might Not Remain Free Because of EU Decision (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Sundar Pichai is full of shit. That is all.

  25. Every deadbeat I knw has an iPhone. iPhone ownership predicts that you live in the USA, it says *nothing* about your income except relative to the rest of the world.
