  1. I doubt it on The Next Time You Order Room Service, It May Come by Robot (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    90 pounds sounds about right, but the room service I order, comes with high _heels_, not _wheels_, albeit it's also sometimes named Hannah.

  2. Re:So naked and ugly on Naked Mole Rats Defy Mortality Mathematics (discovermagazine.com) · · Score: 1

    "That means that the older a mole rat gets, the better its odds are of still being alive in 10 years time."

    So at 29 they have a high probability to live another 10 years but they almost die anyway with 30 years?

    ...is the way to go if you don't want to die.

    They always say that they don't age and that they don't get cancer, but nobody ever tells us what's killing them.

    Are they eaten by a grue?

  4. "...you get Alzheimer's. If you use artificial sweetener you get dementia. Either way you're fucked."

    Sweet.

    Put the stuff on a USB stick and stick in in your TV.

  7. "There is nothing original or creative in your use of code. Any AI will be able to do your job inside 5 years."

    The same goes for music. After all, it's just the same 7 notes that are rearranged over and over again.

    Any AI should be able to do that very soon.

  8. Re:Wth are they doing? on Giant Tesla Battery In Australia Earns A Million Bucks In a Few Days (electrek.co) · · Score: 2

    "Yet it is totally stable just due to backup power plants, which produce more electricity than is consumed."

    That they pay neighboring countries to take off their hands. Countries whose power plant owners are not amused about that fact.

  9. Re:Yes, works as designed. So what? on Giant Tesla Battery In Australia Earns A Million Bucks In a Few Days (electrek.co) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Seriously, this is a complete non-story. For example, pumped-storage hydropower plants have been doing this for ages."

    This is a desert, no mountain and no water.

  10. The law says NO! on Do Particles Have Consciousness? (qz.com) · · Score: 5, Funny
  11. No parking in second row, no throwing of packages over walls, no rough handling of delicate packages, no stealing of valuable items, no poisoning dogs, ...

    But seriously, in which millennium do they think they live?

  12. Another reason to use Ghostery on A Single Line of Computer Code Put Thousands of Innocent Turks in Jail (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Do it now!

  13. The rest of the world used that system for 100 years or so, it seems to work.

  14. Sure on Is It Time For Zero-Trust Corporate Networks? (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    I never trusted corporate networks anyway in the past, so why now?

  15. Re:I'm shocked, shocked! on 'How We Made Starship Troopers' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    Obligatory joke:

    A racist, a fascist, and an idiot walked into a bar

    "What can I get you?" Asked the bartender.

    "I'll just have a water, and make sure the glass is small enough for my hands" said Donald Trump.

  16. Obviously on Scientists Discover the Oldest Human Fossils Outside Africa (npr.org) · · Score: 2

    "...were hunter-gatherers. "They were hunting animals.."

    Yes, that's how it works. You hunt animals, you gather plants. Not the other way around.

  17. Cool on ICE Is About To Start Tracking License Plates Across the US · · Score: 1

    I wanted a new license plate anyway.

    I guess I won't be the only one.

    "I can do an iPhone in about 10 minutes. I'm sure someone who does it regularly could do it in 5. Seems easy enough."

    'Easy' would be 5 seconds, not minutes.

  19. Re:Who the fuck thought of this system on Ford Has An Idea For An Autonomous Police Car That Could Find A Hiding Spot (jalopnik.com) · · Score: 1

    "What you should be patenting is a flying police car."

    Prior art.
    Flying police cars are called police helicopters.
    Autonomous flying police cars are called police drones.

  20. Stuff that matters on China Is Quickly Switching From Pirating To Streaming (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Some country abandons CDs and DVDs in 2018.
    News for nerds indeed.

  21. Drag and drop? on The World's First Graphical AI Interface (fastcodesign.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    If it doesn't have all the possible skills, would it still be intelligent?

    Oh, I see, this is just in case you just want to build a PI (President 'Intelligence') where you'd just need a small subset of skills.

  22. Apple's 'What's a Computer?' Ad is Annoying ? on Apple's 'What's a Computer?' Ad is Annoying People: Business Insider (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    _ALL_ads are annoying!

  23. Re:if they have more accidents then that's fair on Admiral Charges Hotmail Users More For Car Insurance (thetimes.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    It must be the sheer stupidity or cluelessness of hotmail users.

  24. Lenses that you can actually _wear_ and also you can _see_ something though it?

    I'm flabbergasted. I guess the previous version were dark shot-glasses.
