    You don't think the question your post is an exception, do you?

  5. Re:Does it.. on Firefox 49 Arrives With Improvements (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    For the average user, yes. If you test your browser's usability only on Vi and Emacs hardcore users, I am not surprised how bad it looks.

    How is this not still "hunt the secret glyph"? It's just that the secret glyph is on the keyboard, and it's named alt.

    First world problems.

    Well, guess who's already using drones to bomb the shit out of Middle East? Exactly, it's the home of the brave.

  12. Do not want on An Algorithm May Soon Cover Your Local Sports Team (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    No, thanks. Just give me the scoreboard and stats and I can read the data myself. I don't need a robotic overlord to dumb it down into humanspeak.

  13. You haven't seen weird until you read through the Linux kernel codenames...

  14. Re:Don't Talk Back! on Ubuntu Linux 16.10 'Yakkety Yak' Beta 1 Now Available For Download (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Unpopular opinion: I like Unity. have tried KDE3, Gnome2, Gnome3, XFCE, even FVWM and a couple of oddball window managers, and overall Unity is ok. Reasonably simple, stays out of the way. I think in the long run it's an improvement over the systems used by the "we've always done like that" crowd, and it has helped a lot bringing Linux on the desktop of the average user. I also like systemd.

  15. Re:I always use my home as an example on Self-Driving Cars Aren't Going To Be So Great Until We Make Our Maps Better (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You misspelled "last year" -- Tesla's maligned "autopilot" already does it.

    Oh, honey, you think the NSA can't access it just because it's HTTPS?

  18. /etc/passwd on 'How I Hacked Imgur for Fun and Profit' (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    /etc/passwd? Wow. Big deal. Probably contains no passwords (because who doesn't use /etc/shadow in 2016?) and no local users (because who uses local authentication in industry in 2016?).

  19. Re:What have they shown? on 'Sister Clones' Of Dolly The Sheep Have Aged Like Any Other Sheep, Study Says (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Yes, but there is nothing better than a live sheep to convince people than clones do *not* age prematurely. The previous evidence was indirect.

  20. Re:Other motivations on Bitcoin 'Miners' Face Fight For Survival As New Supply Halves (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Honest question from someone who only knows the basics: how do you trade bitcoins without miners around? I thought the transactions had to be embedded in the blockchain.

  22. Re:Colour me skeptical... on Pod Planes Could Change Travel Forever (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    If you define "landing" as "when you touch the ground", then yes, the vast majority of casualties happen at landing. Yes, I am fun at parties, why do you ask?

  23. Doctors are going obsolete on Google's DeepMind AI To Use 1 Million NHS Eye Scans To Spot Diseases Earlier (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    MDs are afraid of becoming obsolete, like horse farriers, photo and film shops, and soon also taxi drivers. Google's AI is probably already better than your non-specialist doctor at diagnosing diseases. So I expect they will be actively opposed to any attempt to step up machine learning for the health sciences.

    And who notifies you when there is a driver update? Oh, right, nobody does.
