1. Thank you AC for the clarification. I hope you didn't miss my point that some people don't know what Dota stands for. "Dota 2, the sequel to the online game called..." would be another way I could have said it more clearly,
2. Are you talking to me?
3. Are you still talking to me? You're on your soap box but it has nothing to do with the post you replied to. I only said the meaning of Dota was unclear, the rest is clear in black and white on the page.
It completely bipasses common sense. People that don't know what a trillion is shouldn't be writing about it. And people who do know shouldn't post this drivel on Slashdot.
Step one: Find the in-app option to turn off push notifications.
Step two: Not there? Leave a one star review in the app/play store, stating the reason.
Step three: Disable push notifications for the app in the Android/iPhone OS.
PS. The lowest scum of the earth apps will remind you every time you start them "your push notification settings seem to be turned off". Viber (what's-app-type messaging app, popular in some countries): you suck. The sooner you die and my friends and family stop using you the better.

"In nature, an individual electron interacts with an individual photon pretty infrequently—about every four months, according to Umstadter."
That seems massively lacking in context to me.
Surely an electron within a carbon atom in a lump of coal 10m underground interacts a different amount to an electron within a carbon atom on a rock in the sun in the desert, and perhaps different to an electron in a transparent oxygen molecule high in the air.

Top spot != Top three. Is it too much to ask for an accurate title? Clickbait trumps accuracy? I can't think of another reason how this title could have slipped through.
Isn't it reasonable to request the Slashdot editors to update the title and add an "EDIT:...â disclaimer to the summary? The title outright contradicts the summary.
It's not like Slashdot has printed millions of copies of a newspaper, it's not an epic task to change this.
I lament that there don't seem to be any online news sources that do the minimum to notice or correct their mistakes, whether directly in-place or as a retraction / correction after the fact.
Sounds like a fair description. But can you define what you mean by fluid? That adjective seems a bit less specific and meaningful than the others you gave.
Clearly you have no interest in people linking to your content.
This is demonstrated by your page source looking like diarrhea under high magnification.
Let me tell you about a href html page jump tags href="#blahblah". I think you will find them very useful, and they have widespread browser support due to their pre-Jurassic era creation date.

Dear Slashdot readers,
If you too want to experience the pain of finding TFA, please follow the link to James Comey / brexit etc and scroll/search most of the way down the page to the section labelled "Back Story".
If I ever find myself with too many apps on my phone, the fastest, least disruptive and most effective way to save space is to delete Facebook and Facebook messenger. Large apps with large cache,
no substantial improvement over website.
So many large updates, but if you check the Google play store, the perennial "what's new" blurb is simply "improvements for reliability and speed".
If you're a top engineer with no respect for for your customers go work there. Facebook, how do you sleep?

In my computer science course the lecturer taught us "a gets b" for a=b (assignment operator in c++ among other languages), or := (Pascal/pseudocode).
A handy convention for your inner dialogue and for communicating. You really shouldn't be saying "equals" for assignment.
If you've only learned from a book and self-study, you might never come across this kind of terminology, but I thought it was pretty useful.
Mod down, submitted post before finished by mistake. Reposted correctly after this.

Can someone explain it better?

Slashdot, really? My comment title can't be as long as your story title?
You Can't Pry Open the Microsoft Surface Laptop Without Destroying It
Headline correction with same word count
Wouldn't the median of the top 10 apps' size be more statistically significant?
Unless you're claiming that (almost) everyone installs (almost) all of the top 10 apps, though I didn't see evidence for this.
However, even as an Android user, I've long been aware that the fastest way to save some space is to temporarily (or permanently) uninstall Facebook.
oops, I posted this as AC by mistake.
Seems pretty widespread from a casual Google search, mentioned without fanfare on dictionary and grammar sites.
i think you'd find it hard to argue that it's slang or uncommon or unconventional usage.
I think it's just your pet-peeve of how you think English should work versus how it does.
Are you living the digital age?

Please prove me wrong Slashdot!
Buddy, you're shouting. And if you talk like you type, my kids and i will cross the road to to avoid the crazy guy when we see you.

Typo in the title. I give up.
