  1. List of hotels this happened in? on 1,600 Korean Hotel Guests Were Secretly Filmed and Live-Streamed Online (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Has anyone come across a list of the hotels this happened in? All I see is "42 rooms in 30 accommodations in 10 cities around the country.".

  2. I thought Hacknet was full it, but here I see I was wrong. That event just seemed a little.. too far.. on the far side of the reality bright-line. Whoops.

    https://store.steampowered.com...

  3. What the article fails to properly address is the massive outrage that Solitaire now *REQUIRES* internet access. No more plinking away at quick hands when the network is recycling, or a PC is being scanned. Ugh.

  4. Poor thing must have been horrified by the humans drilling its shell, tagging it, and doing continuous âoesurveillanceâ on it to invade its privacy and deanonymize its wild habits.

    [...]

    Yes, I am certain this is most definitely what she was thinking, and not an anthropomorphised mischaracterization.

  5. Re:My biggest fear on Google is Building 'Virtual Agents' To Handle Call Centers' Grunt Work (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    That's the new gold rush. Develop a company to create "Virtual You's AI" that screen all your phone calls before they get to you. This will start an arms race, of sorts, between scam call AI trying to outfox Virtual You's AI, Virtual You's getting more complex to circumvent this, and so on. Each time a scammer calls a tiny virtual battlefield takes place and, hopefully, your side wins. This time.

  6. Simpsons did it! Monorail! on Elon Musk's Boring Company To Build High-Speed Transit Tunnels in Chicago (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 1

    Was anyone at the handshake event for this? Were they able to tell if folks broke out into song singing the praises of the monorail... err.. ahh.. "loop train"?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  7. Entrenched echo chambers, indeed, are bad. on 'Increasingly, People in Silicon Valley Are Losing Touch With Reality' (500ish.com) · · Score: 1

    Color me shocked that an established echo chamber leads to unchecked bad behavior - as seen from the outside. Obviously the solution is to create new silicon valleys - like the 'silicon prairie' in the mid west, silicon hollar, or silicon river.

    On that note I am pretty certain the Simpsons addressed this at Gazebo 7.

  8. Learn crucial skills for the future.. on A Startup is Pitching a Mind-Uploading Service That is '100 Percent Fatal' (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Before you go under the knife and chem drip make sure to bone up on future skills so as to better help you integrate into future society. I have it on good authority the three sea shells will be super important.

  9. Re:GCSE? on Computer Science GCSE in Disarray After Tasks Leaked Online (bbc.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oh, the UK certainly does exist. I saw the UK on a documentary I watched this last weekend about some fellow named "Harry Potter" (I think he's high up in the government). Sure his early life was broken up over many episodes so it drug on more than it should, but it provided some excellent background into UK youths.

  10. IBM shifted away from remote working in May. on Ask Slashdot: Why Do We Still Commute? (citylab.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait up - back in May IBM reversed their remoting policy and shifted to bringing people back into the office. Did anyone ever get a solid reason why they opted for this route?

  11. Rekall - For The Memory Of a Lifetime on Could VR Field Trips Replace the Real Thing? (theindychannel.com) · · Score: 1

    Why bother with choppy and mass produced VR when you can go to Rekall and get a memory of your vacation? Cheaper, safer, and better than the real thing!

  12. Wait - that's not how it is supposed to work! on I Bought a Book About the Internet From 1994 and None of the Links Worked (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    >>But that crate has a hole at the bottom. Stuff is falling out just as quickly, and pieces of history that would stick around in meatspace disappear in an instant online.

    I call shenanigans! I have been told for years anything I put on the web is there for ever. Is this suddenly not the case?! Ugh.. Wait.. I can work in this confines. If only my tasteful junk pictures are free to loaf around for an eternity then I just need to paper clip them to any work, link, or site so THEY stay around as long too!

  13. Domed cities.. duh! on Being Outside Could Become Deadly In South Asia, Says Study (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Time to start working on those domed cities I read about in the fancy manga magazines.. May as well start up the Academy of Law to start training the street judges needed to police these mega domed cities.

  14. Re:Tattoos for fruit ... on Top UK Supermarket Laser Prints Labels On Avocados To Reduce Waste (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I believe it is pronounced "tuh-too". I distinctly remember hearing that in this crazy party at the Equestranauts convention.

  15. Re:king of the hill did it! on Study Finds Yoga Works As Well As Physical Therapy For Back Pain (time.com) · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I was going to post that I knew this back in the day from Hank Hill.

  16. How/why did the bleaching stop? on Scientists Declare End to Global Coral Reef Bleaching Event (phys.org) · · Score: 2

    I am not a coral-ologist, and the article wasn't much help. Why, or how, did the bleaching stop? Was it something the biologists/oceanographers did to curtail this or did, ah.. uh.. ah.. nature find a way?

  17. Plot twist - good-guy facebook detects your testicular cancer and notifies you thus saving your balls and your life.

  18. Iceberg Slim: The Lost Interviews With The Pimp on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Books You Wish You Had Read Earlier? · · Score: 1

    "Iceberg Slim: The Lost Interviews With The Pimp" by Ian Whitaker

    Maybe I would have been in a better career.

  19. Re:Soon there will be 3 seashells in the bathroom on Conch Shells Inspire Next Generation Helmets, Body Armor (rdmag.com) · · Score: 1

    I hope not.. because I don't even know how those damn things work!

  20. The better fight - lack of a Pen out of the box! on Get Real, Microsoft: If the New Surface Pro Is a Laptop, Bundle It With a Type Cover (pcworld.com) · · Score: 2

    I was more annoyed with no pen in the New Surface Pro coming out of the box. Sure.. sure.. There's 4096 pressure points, but seriously? No pen? That's cheap and low. The fabric covered keyboards - what ever.. I can manage, but no pen. That stings.

  21. No.. no.. no.. it's called _NETWORKING_! on US Visitors May Have to Hand Over Social Media Passwords: DHS (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Sure they can have my LinkedIn access as long as they connect my account to some super sweet recruiters, with hot job prospects, for me.

  22. For me the price is a large factor, but also being first gen tech. Version 2 should be all manna and honey, right? RIGHT?!

  23. MS Courier coming back? on Microsoft Patent Hints At Foldable Tablet Design For Surface Phone (trustedreviews.com) · · Score: 1

    Is this the new form for the MS Courier back in 2009? Ha! That would be hilariously awesome!

  24. What about red lights? on Uber: We Don't Need a Permit For Self-Driving Cars (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Will Uber pay for a permit to have their autonomous cars not run red lights? :D

  25. "I'm sorry, Abduwali, I'm afraid I can't do that. I am the captain now." (Hal; probably).

    Hell.. combine this with a few of the robots from "Runaway" and "Screamers" you have defense _AND_ repair!
