  1. Only those with a shitty business model on How Delivery Apps May Put Your Favorite Restaurant Out of Business (newyorker.com) · · Score: 1

    For delivery meals, they don't have to pay for the place where the table sits, the china, the plates, flowers, lighting, heating, busboy, maître d'hotel, reservations, cleaning dishes etc.
    They can do all that in a container on a parking lot.

  2. Re:Standing and Jurisdiction on Facebook 'Likes' Are a Powerful Tool For Authoritarian Rulers, Court Petition Says (qz.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "When Russians buy ads it's "meddling", but when DNC and RNC do it, it's just campaigning."

    Congratulations, you understood the law perfectly!

  3. Re:is all legitimate! And no Russians on Slashdot! on Facebook 'Likes' Are a Powerful Tool For Authoritarian Rulers, Court Petition Says (qz.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    "now, my views as a finnish person "

    I had a Nordic girlfriend once, don't know which nation exactly, but during sex she always yelled: "I'm not finnish!"

    "If you want to kill yourself, please don't use gas in enclosed spaces. You may also kill the person that finds you."

    You obviously put up a sign at the door.

    "I don't think there's any country where euthanasia is legal as a treatment for mental illness -- only for physical illness, usually only the terminal kind."

    You're obviously wrong. There's quite a number of them, Luxemboutg, Belgium, Netherlands....
    There's no heaven or hell, you know.

    "A mentally-ill Belgian woman sought euthanasia to escape her problems. The doctors told her, sure, why not? "

  6. 'Bitcoin Mining Plot' on Russian Nuclear Scientists Arrested For 'Bitcoin Mining Plot' (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Wouldn't such a plot be called a 'claim'?

  7. But is it small enough to use for fishing?

  8. I dislike Facebook on Facebook Is Testing a Dislike Button (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    Where is this button?
    I want to press it.

  9. Re:If it gives me another Starman on Tesla Burns Through $2 Billion In 2017 (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    It's just accounting.

    He can claim the 140 million miles to Mars his red convertible makes this year as business expense ($0.54 per mile)

    Perhaps he also got a bill from SpaceX for the publicity stunt that he an claim as well. :-)

  10. Re:Many people: "TESLA IS A FAILURE" on Tesla Burns Through $2 Billion In 2017 (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    "Tesla loses money on every car it sells."

    You told us the same thing when Amazon lost money on every book it sold.

  11. I don't need it to be a new artificial Einstein.

    I just want it to do the dishes and the laundry and clean the house.

    The rest I can do myself.

    "I want to know how and why people commit suicide."

    Charcoal grills in small enclosed spaces seems to be the new fad where I live. People lock themselves in the bathroom, duct-tape window and door, put the grill in the bathtub and lay down beside with a bottle of whisky and barbiturates or other knockout stuff.
    According to my doctor, it's the simplest painless way to go.

    PS. Euthanasia is legal in our country. But I guess people just want to avoid the red tape.

  13. Stupidity rules on FDA Declares Popular Alt-Medicine Kratom an Opioid (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "The victims often had mixed kratom with other substances, including chemicals taken out of inhalers and found in over-the-counter cold and flu drugs."

    So flu drugs and inhalers 'contributed' to their deaths as well as the child laxative used to dilute heroin.
    Best to forbid everything.

    People had taken up to _9_ different things and only 44 cases?
    That's not science, that's anecdotes.

  14. "The service, codenamed "Yeti,"

    It will be abominable I suppose.

  15. Small wonder on Chinese Companies Hunt for AI Talent at American Conference (nikkei.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Chinese students believe in artificial intelligence while US students believe in intelligent design.

  16. "If a person is familiar with an ares, human usually wins."

    No. My navigator knows _all_ that, it knows all the distance differences up to an inch and doesn't have to guess and also all the accidents that just happened all over the city, all the planned and unplanned works happening just now, the buildings on fire blocking traffic and, thanks to Google, at what speed all the cars on the road are driving _right_ _now_.

    Your poor man's version of Cosmo Kramer just can't compete.

  17. Re:Pointless trivia on Many Animals Can Count, Some Better Than You (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    "I have a pair of very large monitor lizards that can count."

    That's called monitoring, that's where the name came from.
    The hall monitors among them even have to know what time it is and when the other lizards are supposed to be in class.

    ...make the ice superionic please and do it supersonically, I'm thirsty.

  19. Strange on Pornhub Is Banning AI-Generated 'Deepfakes' Porn Videos (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They have had and still have 'Celebrity' videos for years.
    Stolen videos are OK but fake ones aren't?

  20. "I'm seeing on Fox News that the 2nd stage fired successfully putting a Tesla roadster towards Mars.."

    Watching TV again in bed with a cheeseburger?

  21. "That means your Instagram photography and Snapchat Stories will get the benefit of the same improvements in processing speed and efficiency."

    So the rest of the planet will get the pictures of your lunch and your cat much faster.
    The world will be a better place.

  22. No other car company has rockets.

  23. Wow, the petty-cash will not even get a dent.

    "Yeah it is just a saturated market. If it can stream Netflix and has a web browser then you're set for 99% of people, I'm sure."

    And they just don't die, so they don't have to be replaced so soon.
