  1. Re:Fake Reporters on World's Only Sample of Metallic Hydrogen Has Been Lost (ibtimes.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    The safe bet is to assume they all do this to varying degrees and to demand proof they are not. But unless the reporters who slurred PewDiePie are fake reporters or their careers are destroyed, there you go.

  2. Re:Reliable on World's Only Sample of Metallic Hydrogen Has Been Lost (ibtimes.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Only problem is that there are no such people, or any such place. Then of course you run into the problem of stories that falsely report that a story is fake. It's a real hall of mirrors

    Except reporters who do real work can insert stories deliberately trying to deceive, frighten or mislead with varying degrees of fiction in with their valid work.

  5. I have a saying. This universe is broken, let me know when there's a new universe ready to move to. I usually invoke it when someone says if you don't like something that is happening in the country that you don't like, move to some other country that you know very little about.

  6. Re: Parsing failure on Most Scientists 'Can't Replicate Studies By Their Peers' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I am not inferring the motive. I am saying that the person who is accusing the researcher of manipulating the data is also inferring the motive of that researcher is to suit nefarious ends.

  7. Have you tried... on Microsoft Research Developing An AI To Put Coders Out of a Job (mspoweruser.com) · · Score: 1

    Have you tried taking a wild guess at filling in the gap and seeing what happens with the gap filled in?

  8. Re: Looking at... on Microsoft Research Developing An AI To Put Coders Out of a Job (mspoweruser.com) · · Score: 1

    Looking at the state of the art at any earlier level of advancement, nobody had anything to fear for their job.

  9. Re: It depends on how much additional detail on Microsoft Research Developing An AI To Put Coders Out of a Job (mspoweruser.com) · · Score: 1

    Taking handling errors as an easy to take a stab at situation, once you have figured out general patterns for what goes into programs, you don't have to specify again how to handle the nitty gritty. You can just specify "show a file selection box" without having to specify what to do if a file gets deleted elsewhere and should cease to appear in the box or something.

  10. You misspelled 'especially'.

  11. Re: Instrument calibration on Most Scientists 'Can't Replicate Studies By Their Peers' (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    I wasn't making a judgment, just stating what happens.

  13. Instrument calibration on Most Scientists 'Can't Replicate Studies By Their Peers' (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    When instrument calibration is examined and bad data thrown out, the researcher involved is accused of manipulation of the data to suit nefarious ends.

    I'm trying, baby. I'm trying.

    Except now the specification can be the code. Then the client can figure out for themselves how close they are to what they want and rephrase the specification.

  16. Re: genetics vs. ideas on Microsoft Research Developing An AI To Put Coders Out of a Job (mspoweruser.com) · · Score: 1

    I never cared about my genes anyways. Now ideas... I can feed that to the technology and it will carry them forward. I welcome our technological replacements.

    I've been searching for things that people who search for curry also search for.

  22. Boycott Patak's curry on Judge Blocks California Law Limiting Publication of Actor's Ages (politico.com) · · Score: 0

    Not only is it a Klingon slur word, it is a large banner ad that sticks around on Slashdot longer than the other ads that also outlast their welcome. This one does not get out of the way until you refresh the page.

  23. Slashdot advertising on Paralyzed Man Uses Brain Implant To Type Eight Words Per Minute (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    There is a large ad for curry that will not go away after waiting the now customary time for Slashdot ads to go away.
