  1. Re:Too bad they did not ask for 16 on Facebook Asks Users: Should We Allow Men To Ask Children For Sexual Images? (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    You might be surprised to know how shockingly low the ages of consent are in some countries.

  2. Re:Age of consent is less than 14 on Facebook Asks Users: Should We Allow Men To Ask Children For Sexual Images? (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Since we are being pedantic: America is a continent, not a country.

  3. More evidence AI is taking our jobs. My dad was a jeans distresser and so was my grandad. I was a jeans distresser. I have now been replaced by AI jeans distressers. What am I supposed to do, retrain as a jeans bleacher? No one even wears bleached jeans in 2018.

  4. Todo lists? on Ask Slashdot: Best To-Do/Task List Software? · · Score: 2

    Why are your todo lists so top secret? What are you planning? I'm forwarding this to the authorities.

  5. Re:I check github several times a day on GitHub Survived the Biggest DDoS Attack Ever Recorded (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    It sounds like it was an AI program that realized it was under attack and implemented a mitigation strategy using Akamai AI technology. No human admins needed.

  6. Re:The Takeaway: Pay is Crap on Uber Challenges Study Suggesting Its Drivers Earn $3.37 Per Hour (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Oddly, the Uber payment rate is the same as it was ever been. Oddly, they have been doubling the number of drivers per year. That is really strange. Why would drivers be flocking to a company where the pay is crap? Why wouldn't they just go work for a taxi company or a fast food company where the pay is awesome? Very odd. Maybe the geniuses at MIT can figure it out.

  7. Re:Why would I upgrade? on Your Love of Your Old Smartphone Is a Problem for Apple and Samsung (wsj.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    You are 5 (iPhone X = 10 - 5 = 5) behind. You don't want to be behind. You want to be at the forefront. When Apple comes out with their next phone you will be 6 behind. You are falling even further behind.

  8. Re:put back what we want on Your Love of Your Old Smartphone Is a Problem for Apple and Samsung (wsj.com) · · Score: 2

    Why would you pay $1,200 for a phone that costs maybe $250 to make?

  9. Makes no sense on Your Love of Your Old Smartphone Is a Problem for Apple and Samsung (wsj.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't understand consumers. The iPhone 8 is so much better than the iPhone 6. It is 2 better. Who wouldn't drop $800 for 2 better?

    Of course. There is always that "one guy" on Slashdot who is never motion sick. I meant for the vast majority of people. You, of course, are special.

  11. Re:Speculation: on Desktop PC Shipments Dip Below 100m/Year (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Actually those companies have largely ditched VR and are switching to AR. There is a reason VR never caught on. Plugging into the brain is just scifi at this point.

  12. Re:Speculation: on Desktop PC Shipments Dip Below 100m/Year (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    VR will never work due to the disconnect between what the eye sees and what the inner ear senses. Unless that problem is solved people will experience motion sickness. It is physiology. However, AR is a real thing.

    " Are you saying that if I were to, say, bury you under 1 meter of Martian soil, that you'd be concerned about radiation?"

    I would be concerned, yes. Space nutters aren't concerned about anything.

  14. Pretty amazing on Scientists Find Life In 'Mars-Like' Chilean Desert (wsu.edu) · · Score: 1

    So they found a desert that isn't protected by an atmosphere or magnetosphere and is being blasted with radiation? Wow!

    Wilson would have been equally useful.

  16. Impressive on IBM's Watson Is Going To Space (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    This is really impressive. I was wrong about AI. If NASA thinks it is ready for the ISS, then it must be useful. They wouldn't put something up there for just marketing purposes. After all: this is NASA. The same people who brought us the EMDrive.

    That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. That is probably the greatest quote ever made.

    It isn't fake. They even have another website http://mission-to-the-moon.com.... Plus they have a newsletter you can sign up for and everything.

    You should assume the answer is "yes" no matter what the court says. If you have data, don't give it to a corporation in the cloud.

    You are right. People should just sit back and accept that corporations can lie and pollute freely. If they complain, it must just be a money grab. Poor corporations certainly aren't trying to grab money - they just want to make good products for us all.
