  1. Re:Am I supposed to be outraged? on Internal Documents Show Apple Knew the iPhone 6 Would Bend (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    It is a $700-$900 phone with a defect. The only solution to this defect was to get a new $700-$900 replacement. Did you think Apple fixed or replaced it for free?

  2. Not a suprise on Internal Documents Show Apple Knew the iPhone 6 Would Bend (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Apple will replace your iPhone 6 for "only" $149 if you run into the touch screen disease. Since it really is a manufacturing flaw, it should be $0. There is currently a class action lawsuit over it.

  3. It is more likely that the guy who received it had a phone number very close to the one the NSA uses.

  4. The US is the second largest wind power producer in the world.

  5. You haven't been to Marthas Vineyard. Playground of the ultra rich.

  6. They won't be able to build windfarms that close to Marthas Vineyard. If you have ever been there, you know why.

  7. Finally on Pornhub Launches VPNhub, Its Own Virtual Private Network App (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Finally an app I can get behind.

  8. Re:Smoking is better than breathing city air on Money's Better Than E-Cigs Or Nicotine Gum At Helping Smokers Quit, Says Study (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    That is a lie. Smoking is far worse than breathing city air.

  9. Meltdown/Spectre Compatible? on Qualcomm Announces Snapdragon 710 Platform For Midrange Android Phones (anandtech.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Are these equipped with the latest Meltdown and Spectre capabilities?

  10. Imagine all the advertisements that would fit in that!

  11. Re:AI can help on ACLU Sues ICE For License Plate Reader Contracts, Records (sfgate.com) · · Score: 2

    Yes. They will do that as soon as they teach Siri to handle followup sentences properly. But after that the sky is the limit for AI!

  12. Ugh, I was working in the self-driving unit and I just got canned. I thought it would work!

  13. Re:Bots on Microsoft Also Has An AI Bot That Makes Phone Calls To Humans (theverge.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    You should check out these options for that: https://www.youtube.com/channe... and https://www.youtube.com/playli...

    Warning: these are addictive!

  14. Am I the only one that remember "bots" being the hype about 10 years ago? There were entire startups dedicated to building them. SDKs were produced. They all failed because no one wants to use them.

  15. Re:Shorting TSLA much, Slashdot owners? on People Are Losing Faith In Self-Driving Cars Following Recent Fatal Crashes (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    If they did short TSLA they would be smart. You are paying an infinite multiple on a stock that pays no dividends. Quite stupid.

  16. 100%. We went through this in the 1970s and 1980s with AI for a while. For example, Expert Systems were going to take over the world, except they never did. And Expert Systems are actually real things that can solve real life problems. Neural Networks never panned out, but they have been recently rediscovered.

  17. Re:Bullshit...not "autonomous...fatal crashes" on People Are Losing Faith In Self-Driving Cars Following Recent Fatal Crashes (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    You "understand" the Tesla accidents because you are a fanboy of Tesla. There is no excuse for Teslas accidents either, except for the fact that is is mis-marketed as "Autopilot" and is still a developing technology. It should be called "driver assist" or something similar, which is what other manufacturers do.

  18. Re:Short Sellers on Tesla's Promised $35,000 Model 3 Is Still a Long Way Off (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah right. Considering Tesla's stock is down 25% this year in a strong upmarket I don't think the shorts have anything to worry about.

  19. Re:Law Enforcement Isn't Strong on Math Skills on FBI Repeatedly Overstated Encryption Threat Figures To Congress, Public (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    What is the point of this? Does it really matter if the guy had a pound or 28 ounces or 16 ounces or 8 ounces? A dose of heroin is probably 10mg. The guy is a drug dealer either way.

  20. Even one is too much. Do what it takes to keep us safe!

  21. No you don't. The service hasn't even launched yet. But nice astroturf.

  22. ""When you arrive at the gym, for example, YouTube Music will offer up a playlist of hard-hitting pump-up jams (if that's your thing)," reports Audioholics. "Late at night, softer tunes will set a more relaxing mood."

    No it won't. Companies always claim things like this but it never happens. They can't even deliver relevant advertising.

  23. Re:License? on 3D Headphone Startup 'Ossic' Closes Abruptly, Leaving Crowdfunders Hanging (npr.org) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just because you know something is stupid when you are doing it doesn't change the fact that it is stupid.

    Without any AI technology this was doomed to fail.

    People who "fund" things on these sites are stupid. You are basically giving someone free money in hopes you might get something back someday.
