  1. Don't know if that $1 billion is market cap, revenue or whatever, but that's hardly what I think of as a startup.

  2. A walue in a wariable on Udacity Restructures Operations, Lays Off 20 Percent of Its Workforce (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Udemy should rename themselves Urdume. I got given a stickfull of random courses by a friend and a fair few are completely useless because of the instructors' accents.

    Didn't notice this with the pluralsight or CBTnuggets ones so much. Quantity versus quality?

    It won't do any good, will it?

    At least he didn't write "Claude Reigns".

  5. Just imagine what would happen if a City owned flying "bus" malfunctioned and crashed killing 50+ people on the bus, and 100 more on the City Street it crashed into.

    This place would be covered in posts from c6gunner saying it was pilot error?

    Presumably these numbers are best cases - young'uns' eyes?

    Very dense. The best density.

  8. Or priests. They might not be infallible but they work for someone who is, and that's the next best thing!

    They need lots of people to buy whatever crap it is they are selling

    No they don't, because they don't need money. Money is a means to an end. If I own an everygoddamthingonearth factory I can just tell it to make me whatever I want. If there's anything it can't make (or I need raw materials and shit like that) I'll call my buddy who owns the everyfuckingthingelse plant and we'll meet up to arrange swapsies and laugh at all the poors.

    Are transitioning? Have nearly finished, you mean.

  11. About how totally awesome I am on Ask Slashdot: What Would Your TED Talk Be About? (ted.com) · · Score: 1

    I would do it about how totally awesome I am. But hasn't that topic been done before by basically all of them?

  12. The fucking cunts! on Microsoft Drops 'Safe Removal' of USB Drives As Default In Windows 10 1809 (betanews.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    We should stab the fucking cunts with torches and burn them with pitchforks!

    One difference: football is football, Rugby is Rugby, hockey is hockey. Sure there's minor rule tweaks but the game from 5 years ago is still largely the same, and they'll probably be much the same 5 years in the future.

    New video games are like mushrooms after a rainstorm. How much are those skills & knowledge (and fame, brand, call it what you will) transferable from one to the next hot thing?

    Pop music or "reality" TV is probably a closer analogy.

    Contrary to belief it's not your money.

    Not at the beginning. The object of the exercise is to make it so by the end.

    It's terrible that they're just rounding up youngsters at random who haven't done anything wrong and putting them through this.

    Just heard, apparently that's not what's happening and you're a 'tard.

    It's not exactly a new idea. I'm pretty sure there were actual paper books on the subject.

    Bollocks, it's just ignorance.

    A typo is a manual error. You don't fat-finger an extra key some distance away from the rest.

  24. [fiddles with earpiece]

    Source of error found: it seems they counted them, forgot they'd done it, and then counted them again.
