  1. They seem easy to open.

    You can even buy a dedicated opener.

  2. If "treatments are evolving faster than Watson's human trainers can update the system", wouldn't the same be true for oncologists trying to keep up with the latest and greatest?

  3. Shutup, man. Stop trying to talk the market down. Given enough time, they'll bounce back. I'll ride this out and be rich. You'll see. You'll all see!

  4. Can't we go back to calling them EVIL cameras?

  5. Emoji support? Yawn. on Microsoft Is Making the Windows Command Line a Lot Better (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Emoji support? Call me when they include memoji support. That's where it's at!

  6. I just drove past on Digital Ads Are Starting To Feel Psychic (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    I drove past a van for a small plumbing business with an unusual business name (can't remember now, but it stuck out at the time). Within 24 hours I was getting ads for them.

  7. ST (TOS) on Are the Wealthy Plotting To Leave Us Behind? (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    This sounds like a good script for Kirk and co.

  8. Re:Hot enough on All-time Heat Records Are Being Set All Over the World (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    That's a strange expression, Bruce.

    Love these things.

  10. Re:No shit on Apple is Rebuilding Maps From the Ground Up (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Google Maps is OK, Apple Maps is horrible, but neither of them hold a candle to whatever it is in my Mazda's in-built GPS. The phone-based ones are handy for a "click and go" destination, especially one that has an ambiguous address, but for something with an easily defined address, the GPS is so much better. Downside is the cost of upgrading maps.

    Also, as a generally happy Mac/iphone user and family, I'm not sure if Apple CarPlay is a move in the right direction. I've been driving a rental with it, and it takes some getting used to. By "some" I mean my wife gives me directions from her iPhone while the car plays the radio.

  11. All that Space Trucking on Space is Full of Dirty, Toxic Grease, Scientists Reveal (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Deep Purple was right are all.

  12. Re:Trump Ignores 'Inconvenient' Security Rules ... on Trump Ignores 'Inconvenient' Security Rules To Keep Tweeting On His iPhone, Says Report (politico.com) · · Score: 1

    >> Based on what we know of Cambridge Analytica and Russian Troll factories, it's quite feasible that a group somewhere has ghost accounts specifically to get mod points to to try swaying the conversation

    I'd be surprised if anyone outside of /. thought it was influential enough to bother doing that. Not many people using /. think it.

  13. Off they come on Cops Will Soon ID You Via Your Roof Rack (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Better take the roof racks off my Harley then.

  14. Re:Make a deal now or it's FPITAP! on Suspect Identified In CIA 'Vault 7' Leak (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    Federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison. It's a phrase from the movie Office Space.

    Out of sync YT clip here.

  15. Re:Documentary from the BBC The Body In Question on States Turn To an Unproven Method of Execution: Nitrogen Gas (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I saw that show. Brilliant. He just quietly drifted off.

  16. Analogue rolloff versus digital cliff.

  17. Re:Small bump on Apple's iMac Turns 20 Years Old (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    I disagree. I think it's all the products as a whole. I just took a look at Mac sales by year and there was an uptick in 2000/2001, then a drop. Things didn't pick up and stay up until 2006 which was 5 years after the iPod, a year before the iPhone and just after the release of OS 10.4.

  18. Re:Darwin award nominee? on 'Biohacker' Who Injected Himself With DIY Herpes Treatment Found Dead (livescience.com) · · Score: 2

    It was an new experimental flotation tank made by a startup who was taking on Big Tank.

    OK, it was actually a washing machine.

  19. I saw them and I think if they said "Reinstate our YouTube channel with ALL the monetisation. NOW." to me, my only response would be "Yes, ma'am." And I would.

  20. ... congregate in the parking lot in departmental clusters for your convenience.

    That sounds like you've put some serious thought into this.

    "Ah, there you are HR Department. Smythe must be in that group somewhere..."

    ... how on earth Pink and Led Zepplin went together.

    Well there was this really great party they were all at and everyone put their keys in a bowl, and then along came the mud shark...

  23. Re:Simple Structures on 3D-Printed Public Housing Unveiled in France (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Even better, 3D printed high rises. In many parts of the world, especially cities, the cost of housing is not the problem. The cost of land is the killer. Single storey houses made by robots sounds like a plan, but it ain't.

  24. Re:Investments only go up right? on Students Are Using Their Loan Money To Buy Cryptocurrency, Study Says (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    They were probably expecting her to live and pay it pack. Takeaway I get from this is to have all signers on a loan to take out life insurance that you can access in the event of their death. Should be an option on the loan.
