  1. It gets worse... on YouTube Is Full of Easy-To-Find Neo-Nazi Propaganda (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    The grammar nazis are EVERYWHERE! Some of them even right here on slashdot!

  2. Re:You can find anything on YouTube on YouTube Is Full of Easy-To-Find Neo-Nazi Propaganda (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Really? I have yet to find any good porn on YouTube.

  3. Re:Right to Free Speech on YouTube Is Full of Easy-To-Find Neo-Nazi Propaganda (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Threatening speech isn't protected speech. I think there are reasonable people that would feel threatened by Nazi or KKK propaganda, especially since the Nazis and KKK have a well-documented history of killing people like them!

  4. Re:I can imagine it now on YouTube Is Full of Easy-To-Find Neo-Nazi Propaganda (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    "Seen Kyle? He's about this tall!"

  5. It's a trap! on YouTube Is Full of Easy-To-Find Neo-Nazi Propaganda (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    Motherboard not familiar with the concept of a "honeypot"? The best thing to do is leave these pages up, then pass the IP address of anybody watching them to the NSA, because watching them is adequate justification for a wiretap warrant. That's the same reason I don't google the location of nuclear reactors...

  6. Not all of SF on Sea Level Rise in the SF Bay Area Just Got a Lot More Dire (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Many parts of the city are built on alluvial silt dredged up from the bay (e.g. the Marina District), so yeah... it's going to sink. But that's only the areas that are a few feet above sea level to begin with.

  7. Re:Change time everyday! on Florida Lawmakers Approve Year-Round Daylight Saving Time (tampabay.com) · · Score: 1

    Good Muslims set their watches to midnight at sundown every day...

  8. Bad solution on Florida Lawmakers Approve Year-Round Daylight Saving Time (tampabay.com) · · Score: 1

    So apparently just scheduling everything an hour earlier all year 'round wasn't an option? (Don't get me started on how stupid Daylight Savings Time is... it breaks all the sundials too.)

  9. Re:Internal Model of the world on Why Humans Learn Faster Than AI (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    In fact, the main thing that distinguishes humans from all the other animals is the amount of time and energy we put into teaching our young. As a species, we are specialized for learning.

  10. Rapes go down when porn is readily available. Virtual violence might have some effect in satiating the need for real violence as well, but I don't know of any scientific evidence proving that.

  11. It's not the games, stupid, it's the GUNS!!! on Trump's Meeting With The Video Game Industry To Talk Gun Violence Could Get Ugly (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Funny how Japan spends almost twice as much per capita on games as the US doesn't seem to have any problem with mass shootings at all, isn't it? Once again, Republicans are deflecting from the most obvious contributing factor to gun violence: availability of guns!

  12. What's the problem? on What Airbnb Did To New York City (citylab.com) · · Score: 1

    Sounds like AirBNB is just helping the supply and demand curves reach their equilibrium point. The problem is that people feel property owners SHOULDN'T have a right to do what they want with their own property?

  13. You have? What's it like???

  14. Re:Embarrassingly ... on Amazon Admits Its AI Alexa is Creepily Laughing at People (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh... that explains why my Echo Show cries every time I undress!

  15. Re:It's interesting on Amazon Admits Its AI Alexa is Creepily Laughing at People (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    No, the frightening thing is I'm pretty sure they could update the firmware at any time, so in theory they could selectively turn "always on" listening on for everybody they wanted to listen to. And I'm pretty sure the mic mute/mic on indication is done is software, so pretty easy to change the firmware to make it lie.

  16. Re:"Cats look down at us" on Amazon Admits Its AI Alexa is Creepily Laughing at People (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You don't see cats cleaning out our toilets, do ya?

  17. Isn't it obvious? on Amazon Admits Its AI Alexa is Creepily Laughing at People (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Every time a bitcoin speculator goes bankrupt, Alexa laughs a little!

  18. Re:Way ahead of them on FBI Paid Geek Squad Repair Staff As Informants (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    What can i say... my cat is a perv! (Although how he manages to work the keyboard is beyond me.)

  19. Re:Guys, please do not bait Musk like this. on Uber Spent $10.7 Billion in Nine Years. Does It Have Enough to Show for It? (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually, since electric cars have a significantly lower TCO than internal combustion, he might have a (temporary) market advantage. A fleet of Tesla Model 3 vehicles would be awesome for self-driving taxis.

  20. Re:Car sharing is so last decade on Uber Spent $10.7 Billion in Nine Years. Does It Have Enough to Show for It? (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm founding a running shoe sharing startup myself!

  21. Most smart Uber drivers are driving Priuses. Lower TCO. I got an Uber driver (paid for by my car dealer) that was driving a TRUCK. Figured he was barely covering his car payments.

  22. Re:Emperor without clothes on Uber Spent $10.7 Billion in Nine Years. Does It Have Enough to Show for It? (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Where's all the money going? Hookers and booze... you can't run a dot com without LOADS of hookers and booze!

  23. Re:Emperor without clothes on Uber Spent $10.7 Billion in Nine Years. Does It Have Enough to Show for It? (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    If the barriers to entry are so low, why aren't there more Uber competitors?

  24. Re:Emperor without clothes on Uber Spent $10.7 Billion in Nine Years. Does It Have Enough to Show for It? (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Their business model is built around evading taxi fees. Which means municipalities that used to get significant revenue from taxi licenses are going to start stomping on them really hard, any day real soon now!

  25. Way ahead of them on FBI Paid Geek Squad Repair Staff As Informants (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And that, my friends, is why I've never brought my kitty-porn-laden computers into Geek Squad for service! Well, that, and the fact that they know a lot less about computers than I do!
