  2. Re:Missing meetings is a *benefit* on Remote Work Works, a New Google Study Finds (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 2

    I mostly agree with this but when I lead a team of system admins our meetings were very productive. They only took place, at most, twice a year but clear goals/objectives were laid out and I provided the pizza. Other than being out $50 it was useful but no PHB or other sideshows allowed.

  3. not the girl but the bill. It's money right? Warren is not going to turn down money, possibly this source, but she's a survivor.

  4. Maybe Zuck will disappear next.

    Ask away but as long as there is gold in them thar hills via the ad revenue stream your voice will be ignored. It'a a design feature.

  9. Thanks for posting the other gems written by Mr. Stevens. His books were instructive and readable. They were of immense help when I started out as a fledgling UNIX network programmer.

  10. Re:'severe' on Severe Vulnerabilities Uncovered In Popular Password Managers (zdnet.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Users of this "vulnerability" are most likely state actors/law enforcement agencies, and 3 letter organizations. They have your computer, they need your password protected data.

  11. That's how I read this.

  12. Harvested? on Facebook Settlement With FTC Could Run Into the Billions (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Data collected as designed is more accurate.

  14. Better question on Ask Slashdot: Could Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower Have Worked? · · Score: 2

    Could Elon Musk monetize it?

  16. Sounds like effective ad blocking is the answer on Google Tests 'Never-Slow Mode' for Speedier Browsing (zdnet.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Web pages load okay without all of the crap added to them.

  17. but the lawyers won't. Looking forward to seeing how this pans out.

  18. Seems this ship has sailed. I prefer the option of a wired headphone or bluetooth which I have until I replace my current phone.

  19. Maybe the year of Linux on the desktop on Windows 7 Enters Its Final Year of Free Support (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    As a Win7 user that will be a decision at EOL.

  21. Most Americans don't know what AI is on Americans Want To Regulate AI But Don't Trust Anyone To Do It (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Count me as one of them and I was a CS major. Seems like everything is lumped in with AI now.

    I have stayed at a number of hotels in Eastern Europe, central Asia and the middle east where your passport was required at check-in. I assume they scanned it into their system.

  24. I took advantage of the $29 battery replacement on my 6s hoping to add a couple of years of life to it. Might count as a repair since it was sort of "broken" by Apple.

  25. I subscribe to one of their papers on Computer Virus Hits Newspapers Coast-to-Coast, Affects Printing (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    My Sunday morning paper came with two middle sections and no front section. Can I blame the malware for that or should I assume it's the fading newspaper business as a whole?
