  1. Projection on Stephen Hawking: 'I Fear AI May Replace Humans Altogether' (wired.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Hawkins is nearing his end and he knows it. This is tainting his views and makes him see death around each corner.

  2. Re:No thanks on Facebook's New Captcha Test: 'Upload A Clear Photo of Your Face' (wired.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    because it contradicts whatever the Facebook group think is

    You left off the important part.

  3. We'll check it and then permanently delete it on Facebook's New Captcha Test: 'Upload A Clear Photo of Your Face' (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. FaceBook has a proven record of lying.

  4. Re:Ok. Will they stop forcing ads on subscribers? on Amazon Developing a Free, Ad-Supported Version of Prime Video: Report (adage.com) · · Score: 1

    So, they don't inject ads.

  5. Re:Ok. Will they stop forcing ads on subscribers? on Amazon Developing a Free, Ad-Supported Version of Prime Video: Report (adage.com) · · Score: 1

    I watch Prime Video all the time. There are no injected ads.

  6. So you'll happily sit there and suck down masses of entertainment by paying for Prime, but if they want to provide video at no monetary cost to the viewer, they're despicable. (ie: fuck the people who can't afford Prime)

  7. Re:Pirsig Morality on Is Physical Law an Alien Intelligence? (nautil.us) · · Score: 1

    To Pirsig, a helium molecule is moral when it obeys the requirements of chemistry

    Pirsig has a different dictionary than I do. He's spouting Humpty Dumpty.

  8. Re:End of Enlightenment on Is Physical Law an Alien Intelligence? (nautil.us) · · Score: 1

    There's no such thing as bad thinking. There's such a thing as not following the train of thought to conclusions.

    Mighty small straw you have there. Planning to murder your neighbor for shits and giggles is bad thinking. Not following through is good thinking winning out.

  9. Re:Most environmentally unfriendly currency ever on One Bitcoin Transaction Now Uses As Much Energy As Your House In a Week (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    New ones at that, because they don't consider the economics of *making* the vehicle, only the gas mileage.

  10. Re: MMORPG money brought to life. on One Bitcoin Transaction Now Uses As Much Energy As Your House In a Week (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Other than resulting in something tangible and useful? Yes. Otherwise, it's exactly like when I mine items to make money in my favorite MMORPG.

  11. It's a place for propaganda from all sides. Always has been.

  12. Re:Local news alone? on The Crisis in Local News (axios.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You misspelled CNN.

  13. Re:We Need Local News on The Crisis in Local News (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    To echo another comment: Those are your local news failures, not something global. I'm looking at a copy of my town's newspaper as I write this.

  14. Re:Unionize? on The Crisis in Local News (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    New narrative. Get with the program.

  15. Re:no on Should Developers Do All Their Own QA? (itnews.com.au) · · Score: 1

    That technique works great if you have that option. If not, not so much. The real world usually *tells* you which language to use.

  16. Re:Developers tend to work in teams on Should Developers Do All Their Own QA? (itnews.com.au) · · Score: 1

    You would only sugar coat and hide bugs if you don't like the person ...

    So, you see the problem.

  17. Re:Fuck no on Should Developers Do All Their Own QA? (itnews.com.au) · · Score: 1

    Of course they do -- to a degree. They (and you are included in that 'they') just don't test (or even see) the entire spectrum of testing that should be done and hence, don't do it.

    Oh, FYI: that was humor on his part. Untwist your panties.

  18. What do you do for ten days on an old smartphone with no simcard or wifi?

    Uses it as a phone?

  19. "Trump killing the U.S Dream Act"

    Letting it expire is not "killing" it.

  20. He's correct. The current native Americans are just the last wave. There were previous ones. If you want to lump all waves in as being native American, then we're just the latest wave as well. Much shorter time gap even.

  21. Re:Illegals are illegal on Tech Companies To Lobby For Immigrant 'Dreamers' To Remain In US (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Does it apply only to immigrants, or is anybody who breaks the law an "illegal"?

    How specious of you. Burglars, etc, are indeed "illegal" and if caught are punished by law. It's only being asked that those breaking the immigration law be punished as well.

    We have an economy that cannot function without more immigrant labor than our immigration laws allow.

    Bullshit.

  22. Re: How do you buy bitcoin? on Software Developer Creates Personal Cryptocurrency (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    "the truth is modern money system was only recently invented"

    You're ignorant.

  23. "Most job applications ask for links to live code" on Ask Slashdot: How Can You Apply For A Job When Your Code Samples Suck? · · Score: 2

    Never once have I seen this.

  24. Re:A better keyboard on What Will Replace Computer Keyboards? (xconomy.com) · · Score: 1

    Your shout out for the 4C would have worked better if the Das Keyboard 4C Professional web page didn't return "Page not found." for the "Buy Now" button.

    HAH! And even that post had errors because I only edited it once over 3-4 minutes.
