  1. Except this time, Apple doesn't like people running it on better hardware ;)

  2. Would be nice if they did it for LT jobless on Tech Companies Try Apprenticeships To Fill The Tech Skills Gap (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    Never mind recent graduates, long-term jobless would also benefit.

  3. Why not a more attainable $20-30k? on Tesla Unveils 500-Mile Range Semi Truck, 620-Mile Range Roadster 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Instead of pawning off a bland 3, I'd be fine if they had a large (think 70's-90's land-yacht) car that wasn't stratospheric in price.

  4. Re: Cue the Musk haters in ... on Tesla Unveils 500-Mile Range Semi Truck, 620-Mile Range Roadster 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Let me know when Tesla has a largish (Think Crown Vic) sized EV with that range at $25-30k. Then I'll be interested.

  5. No wonder the Model 3 is delayed. on Tesla Unveils 500-Mile Range Semi Truck, 620-Mile Range Roadster 2.0 · · Score: 1

    They've been working more on the truck and the unattainable-for-most supercar.

  6. Not only did they keep on digging, they're well below Challenger Deep.

  7. Re:And a million smarmy /.ers on More Than 15,000 Scientists From 184 Countries Issue 'Warning To Humanity' (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    I don't give a flying fuck what they do or whether they like it or not. "Continue destabilizing the planet because I like my job" isn't an option I'm willing to let them have

    The feeling is mutually held - as they have mouths to feed, a life to live, and 200+ years of viable energy. Getting in the way of their meal ticket is the fastest route to losing scientific progress. Continuing to have out-of-towners put their desires ahead of locals isn't an option they will let you have.

  8. Re:So... what can the average prole do? on More Than 15,000 Scientists From 184 Countries Issue 'Warning To Humanity' (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 0

    Personal automobiles are the single most per capita damaging activity carried out by Americans, who carry out most of the damage overall.

    Yet they are here to stay. If you want to make any headway, put efficiency in an American-tolerable form factor (Tesla S) and price point (read: not anywhere close to $30k)

    2) Push for more electric and hybrid vehicles. Ideally, non-hybrid vehicles should be flatly illegal for new sales; the tech is out there, and even mild-hybrid systems are available and not very expensive to add at the factory and would make a good difference. Better yet, Prius-style hybrid powertrains (or maybe Volt-style) should be standard.

    And incentives for people to dump gas guzzlers (particularly older ones) in favor of something more efficient.

    Only if you're going to exchange them for large, American-sized-and-priced vehicles (think Crown Vic size) vehicles. Until then, no sale.

    Improve other mass-transit systems

    Unlike Japan, the US has the land for cars. They make transportation available without regard to platform rating, surprise costs, timetables, destination restrictions, or other pesky things that mass transit still gets wrong in the US. One can just jump in and go.

    Encourage people to move to "sardine can style apartments".

    Unlike Japan, the US has the land for large homes. The US tried sardine cans and ended up having to demolish many of them due to crime and neglect. That, and I dont mind having a V6, gas-powered car, which is available instantly for any destination and time - w/o surge pricing. It doesn't care too much aside from modest maintenance.

  10. Re:You might never get used to it. on Ask Slashdot: Which Laptop Has The Best Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    Only if it can be shimmed into a P7* series.

  11. Source seems to be still available. on CopperheadOS Fights Unlicensed Installations On Nexus Phones (xda-developers.com) · · Score: 1

    Now what prevents someone from taking the source and just flashing it that way? Otherwise, it's just shades of Sveasoft with slightly different licensing.

  12. One guest worker is one too many.

  13. The contractor model doesnt work. on Uber Drivers Have Rights on Wages and Time Off, UK Panel Rules (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not there to provide flexibility, but to dodge benefits. Those that have flexibility are those that have it anywhere. Perhaps it should DIAF.

  14. A silver lining - adfree content. on YouTube Says It Will Crack Down On Bizarre Videos Targeting Children (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    If you don't want ads on your videos, what prevents someone from just marking the video as 18+?

  15. Re:Solution on Cities Are Scolding Countries at UN Climate Conference To Cut Emissions (vice.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Coal plants are being discontinued

    Only due to edicts from environmentalists, especially those that are indifferent or hostile to those responsible for mining it.

    most of the world is behind it.

    Well, most of the world is behind jumping off a cliff. The US is not.

  16. Not when policymakers feel nothing. on Cities Are Scolding Countries at UN Climate Conference To Cut Emissions (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    The cost of compliance is trivial for those promoting this change, but is significant for those being pushed to accept it. Better to mine to the last rock, pump oil to the last drop, or split atoms to the last reaction. Anything else is less consistent.

  17. Unofficial report == disinfo on Massive Government Report Says Climate Is Warming and Humans Are the Cause (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    The official report with revised language has more validity than this.

  18. Policymakers arent penalized enough on Massive Government Report Says Climate Is Warming and Humans Are the Cause (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    It would penalize regular people more while leaving the policymakers untouched.

  19. So Apple wants junk chips on Apple Is Designing iPhones, iPads That Would Drop Qualcomm Components (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Mediatek chips aren't exactly known for their quality.

    They do it to everybody, without regard to gender.

  21. How Soviet of them... on Reddit Conducts Wide-Ranging Purge of Offensive Subreddits (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    At some point, it'll just be a few niche communities and corporate-approved content. Just like Digg 4.

  22. Factor out the junk, US reclaims title on India Overtakes the US To Become the World's Second Largest Smartphone Market (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    A bunch of low-end phones isn't exactly the way things go.

    It's also the most consistent and readily converted source. Unlike solar or wind's requirement of an expensive converter, it only requires a flame.

  24. The masses shiver while elites are warm. on Italy Proposes Phasing Out Coal Power Plants By 2025 (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Italy wouldn't care about its own, just the policymakers.
