The best part about your post is that their are literally hundreds of others and they're all jumping all over the sensationalist headline and accepting it, and yours is the only one here as I write this that points out the blatantly obvious fact that the summary is 100% factually fucking stupid.
New slashdot owners, you fucking suck ass for what you've done. Allowing this community to degrade to this level of shear fucking ignorance that there is one god damn post out of hundreds that points out the very obvious and clear fact that the summary knows exactly nothing about bitcoin other than its fucking name.
WTF about common sense for fucks sake? Do these people really think that every time you get fractions of a penny transferred to your bitcoin wallet, that someone else spent $50 of processing power on it? Out of the goodness of their heart?
You have to turn your fucking brain off to be so fucking stupid that you let this summary/article come through. You guys are complete and total fucking morons.
Mining costs a lot of energy, transactions are too cheap to mention relative to mining.
I'd wager a years worth of transactions is so cheap I'd probably not mind paying for all of them myself unless you're using 8088s to do the math.
And no, there is no way I used enough profanity to justify the level of stupidity from the owners of the site. Just fuck you.
1. Auto update nags the user, user upgrades because that's what users do
And this is why I switched away from an iPhone.
Nagging every single day to upgrade with no way to stop it. For my wife, by the time she would allow the thing to update because she didn't actually need her phone for a bit... it was time for a new update so a few days later, another fucking nag screen.
I'm not beta testing your software Apple. I was fine with it before Jobs died, but quality control is second priority at best now so I can't trust your shit to not break in some utterly stupid way that fucks me over, so I can't/won't upgrade until other people do and I know its safe, and then I'm in the same boat, oh look, new update!
I update my device when I have a reason to, not just because some hipster dipshit 20 year old dev who has NEVER had a real job in his life things its perfectly acceptable to update software every fucking day. I'm also an old software dev who isn't stupid enough to think Agile is a good thing.
Mind you, it's still kinda stupid because if someone is planning on disputing a charge they can just fuck up their signature at time of transaction BUT it's worth the clarification.
No, they can't dispute it, thats the thing.
While I'm not disagreeing with you, its for audit verification not fraud prevention. Its so when they drag you to court, you have to lie to say you didn't sign it.
Then they drag in a hand writing expert that immediately points out 15 patterns you do in your normal daily writing that you also did in your 'messed up signature' and the judge throws you in jail for the crime and perjury. It doesn't tell you who signed it if you have no idea, but it can certainly be used in almost every case to verify that someone did sign something if you have a suspect.
Its not much different than finger prints. Everyone is unique and you really have a hard time hiding it without training.
Seriously, Fuck you. Letting this kind of bullshit to be posted to slashdot utterly destroys any remaining usefulness of this site. You have completely destroyed the site and by consequence any hope you had of profitability long term for it.
I can not say this enough, Fuck you, you greedy ignorant selfish fucks who have no problem posting click-bait headlines. You're flat out lying in headlines now.
You aren't autistic, thats the first problem you have. Your problem is you want to be a victim and have excuses. Autism diagnosis became a dime a dozen a few years back, now half the fucking country says 'I have autism' when in reality, you have no such thing you're just looking for excuses to be a douche.
If you go to a shrink and say 'I think I have autism' you'll walk out with a diagnosis, same about your kids.
StarTrek here is playing to trendiness of the fact that right now its all the rage to be fake as fuck and pretend you care about the transgender population.
Why the fuck do you people think mutilation of your genitals is okay and healthy, but someone who cuts their arm needs help? Never in the history of man has a transgender person been shown to be clinically healthier after doing so. In fact ever bit of actual science involving the issue shows that promoting the idea that you can just go be the other sex is unhealthy to those who have those issues.
In short, you won't see this shit in the future because we won't be playing the trendy card, we'll have actually address the underlying issues that make them think they want to be something else in the first fucking place.
We'll treat the problem and stop pretending to treat the symptom.
And sorry BarbaraHudson (little t in LGBTt(insert ever other group that suddenly wants to ride this train as they crawl out of the woodwork and make up new letters), this applies to doubly so.
There are plenty of places with bad water, but those countries aren't paying nestle billions for bottled water.
There are VERY FEW places where nestle makes money that ALSO have shitty water. The entire country isn't made up of individual Flint, Michigans, contrary to the fear mongering.
Nestle makes millions of dollars of bottle water because people are too fucking stupid to realize that their tap water is for all practical purposes just as good if not better than whats in the bottle.
The bottled water is for ignorant trendy assholes, not actual people who need clean water.
I lived in Orange Spring Fl. Home of Deer Park spring water. I know the spring very well, swam in it when I was just a little kid before they owned it. An advertising campaign convinced all the teenagers that their tap water was bad and to buy bottled water... that came from the EXACT SAME SOURCE AS THE BOTTLED WATER.
No one in their right mind considers cryptocoin crap an investment. Its a crap shoot. The fact that this idiot still doesn't understand speculative markets doesn't doesn't mean central banks will suddenly have to care about crypto-crap. Central banks invest in businesses in Vegas, but they sure as fuck don't gamble their money in a casino cause they understand whats going on and what a fad bubble is.
Central banks didn't invest in petunias either. If you don't understand that reference you have no right to be in this particular conversation.
P.S. Just because you bought a bunch of bitcoin doesn't suddenly make it not a fad.
The key to take away, the part that actually matters to anyone of any importance... AFP (network file sharing protocol) is not supported when working with APFS Volumes. SMB is the replacement.
who really minds whether it's a Duracell or a Panasonic battery?
ME, absolutely. They can roll off the same production line, but a Duracell will out perform a Panasonic Alkaline every time. Same true for every other battery actually. This is one place where you can most certainly tail the difference between brands by performance.
You're pretty stupid if you don't understand that even cheap commodity production line items can still be produced with differing levels of quality
New codecs like H.265 and VP9 need 5x the servers costs because of their complexity. Currently, AV1 needs over 20x the server costs.
Today, that might be true. I still call bullshit on that ridiculous price difference but even if thats true, in a year it won't be like that. In 5 years every arm and x86 chip will come with hardware decoders or microcode to do it on the built in GPU.
You haven't been around this field very long, have you?
fuck, I'm 40 and haven't done that yet and somehow I have a wife, 2 kids, and I'm a 10%er . . . pulled myself up from growing up in a RV with a single dirt poor father.
at no point did I have to stop enjoying life and the stories and the drama.
The only reason to have a job is so you can enjoy life the rest of the time. that's the benefit of modern society.
You sound like you have a really depressing life if you think that growing up means you have to 'knuckle down and work' all the time.
Dreaming and enjoying is the point of life.
Everything else is just entropy. Entropy wins, everytime. Might as well enjoy some parts of the trip
There may be minor advantages in certain situations to one over the other, especially in post processing, but don't feed me some bullshit about how the film type made the movie awesome.
No one out side your production/post processing set gives a flying fuck what format you used because you can make it look either way in post processing anyway. Don't feed me any bullshit like you didn't do digital editing either. You know you did, you know effects were all digital, nothing done in the traditional film format. You weren't splicing footage together with cellophane tape.
If you want to use film because you're old school, hey man thats cool, but don't try to make it out like your decision over some trivial matter is what made the movie. The story and the actors made the movie, you're nothing more than a over paid supervisor just trying to keep the actors all heading in the same direction. There were thousands of people involved in making that an awesome move, you played on SMALL part. You want to be a good director? Know which scripts to accept and which to stay away from. Talent as an actual manager is secondary.
Seriously, prime is what, 10 years old? How did you get packages before then? Whats that? You ordered them from somewhere else with REALLY FUCKING HIGH PRICES FOR SHIPPING? Oh, and now amazon doesn't want to give you free shipping to the middle of fucking no where/horrible bad weather location and you're pissed off?
The summary is bitching about some dude in the wilderness bitching that his supply chain was cut off.
No shit dickweed, you live in a state with an absolutely shitty weather cycle a good portion of the year when it comes to human life. I'd argue you're a big fucking idiot for living there in the first place when you could move the fuck out, to someplace that you aren't ensured to die without the rest of society to support you.
Douche bag is upset that Amazon no longer chooses to subsides his expensive ass location and ignores the fact that he jumped on Amazon purchasing to avoid shipping costs... which eventually ran all of his local sources out of business... so now his only choice is to pay whatever Amazon gives him the option of paying for shipping.
In short, you and your community did this to yourself by being ridiculously short sighted and cutting off your nose to spite your face and save some money.
If you didn't see this coming, you're a fucking idiot.
Its also not the first entangled photon to be teleported to space either, just the first one to an unmanned communications sat specifically designed for it rather than say... a space station experiment
Slashdot Mirror
I've played it. In this case, yes it would be outlandish to claim this game way fun.
The greatest part about your post is that you think making it so the browser has a JVM built into it ... is a good thing.
When will you kids learn? You know we've already done this before right?
The only thing new about WebAssembly is the people making the promises about hows going to change the world.
Any USB C port replicator works for this. I use an Apple adapter with USB-C in for power, hdmi and usb a out when i dont have a DeX handy.
Nothing actually proprietary about it, just native USB-C functionality

Wikipedia isnt EXACTLY a new concept, hence the copycat name.

They are 100% at fault for their actions, job or not.
If you think "I was just doing my job" is a valud excuse for ANY action, you are sorely mistaken.
People hang after statements like that. Learn some fucking world history
Mind you, it's still kinda stupid because if someone is planning on disputing a charge they can just fuck up their signature at time of transaction BUT it's worth the clarification.

I wish they would just run Linux natively and dump the whole Android part.
Serious questions:
Why?
What big advantage does that give? Why do I care?
I should hope people dont' freak out about radiation ... especially from that big nuclear fusion ball in the sky.
Radiation is kind of required to survive

The reason AT&T didn't outsource those jobs before is because outsourcing them wasn't technically feasible.
The world is different now, we have companies ... like AT&T ... that provide GLOBAL communication. They don't NEED people in the US anymore.
This would have happened before your 10th birthday as well, if it were feasible. It wasn't then. It is now.

I've got a Firefox profile with 1691 tabs.
Then you're a fucking idiot who doesn't know what bookmarks are. How can you work 'at Mozilla' and not know the difference between tabs and bookmarks?
