  1. Letting go is the answer on Ask Slashdot: Best File System For the Ages? · · Score: 2

    Make copies of things you care about occasionally on new media. If you don't care about something, let it rot. It's very liberating, kind of like burning your desk.

  2. Re: Arrest him and throw him into Gitmo on US-Born NASA Scientist Detained At The Border Until He Unlocked His Phone (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Over 1 million people have US Top Secret clearances.

  3. H1B, the Future of the "American" Workforce on Goldman Sachs Automated Trading Replaces 600 Traders With 200 Engineers (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Goldman Sachs has also filed over 2900 applications for H1B visas in the past three years. I suspect this isn't for traders.

  4. A way of painting 'I'm clueless, please abuse me' on your account.

    John Podesta used gmail. Just thought I'd mention that...

  5. A non-tabloid info source on Scientists Believe There's Finally A Cure For The Common Cold (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

  6. Nice try... on Study: Most Students Can't Spot Fake News (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    But this story is clearly fake.

  7. Re:He should be in jail... on Cybersecurity CEO Gets Fired After Threatening To Kill Trump On Facebook (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    No, much of what the Republicans are planning to do is motivated by greed.

  8. Re:Everyone runs with fear from NP problems on 'Here Be Dragons': The Seven Most Vexing Problems In Programming (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1
    The classic "Computers and Intractibility" book by Garey & Johnston (1979) gave three ways to explain to your boss:
    • I can't find an efficient algorithm, I must be too dumb.
    • I can't find an efficient algorithm, because no such algorithm is possible.
    • I can't find an efficient algorithm, but neither can all these famous people.

    Some of us have been going around saying "I must be too dumb" when we get stuck for a few decades now.

  9. In the words of Gus Grissom... on Samsung Galaxy J5 Catches Fire and Explodes in France, Says AP (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 1

  10. Re:Guess what Elon has never seen on Tesla Unveils Residential 'Solar Roof' With Updated Battery Storage System (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

  11. I was curious if anybody had implemented RFC 1149. Now I know!

  12. An org like Wikileaks should act like a common carrier. If somebody gives them a mass of documents that shouldn't be secret, they should release it, not try to manipulate the leak schedule and content to conform to their political views.

  13. In fact, our system gives outsized influence to lightly-populated states (since each state gets two senators). If anything, this election is rigged against the Democrats, since the big western red states get more votes per capita than California, etc.

  14. More evidence... on 4Chan Hackers Claim To Have Remotely Wiped John Podesta's iPhone and iPad (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Apparently Podesta's password is "password". That's why "the Russians" have all his email, you know.

  15. Every office stores passwords on Post-It(tm) notes stuck to the bottom of their keyboards. Completely hacker-proof!

  16. Re:Interesting - let's see what happens on Apple's Next Year iPhone Won't Have the Home Button: NYTimes · · Score: 1

    It takes courage to drive using a touch screen.

  17. Nobody really cares where you are. You're a tiny blip in a vast sea of Android users, and their collective behavior is what's interesting. Quit worrying so much about "surveillance", because, really, you're boring and not profitable, so Google isn't watching you.

  19. Re:Disgraceful on AAPS Doctors Run Survey On Hillary Clinton's Health (prnewswire.com) · · Score: 1

    AAPS is the perfect organization to obtain brains for us!

  20. Re:It blew up Facebook's $200M satellite with it on Falcon 9 Explodes On Pad (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Freudian slip?

  25. Imagine Domino's without the labor component? on Robot Pizza Company 'Zume' Wants To Be 'Amazon of Food' (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    It'll succeed if they can deliver good pizzas for a cheap price. Why would his customers care how much money he's making?
