  1. Re:Not as bad as APK on Telegram's Billion-Dollar ICO Has Become a Mess (amazon.com) · · Score: 1

    But an APK is just a renamed ZIP. Are you criticizing yourself?

    RAR

  2. I refuse talking to webcams on Your Next Job Interview Could Be With a Racist Bot (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    There was a company around here that asked people to send a video to even be considered to a job. I hate speaking to a computer, so I just ignored them. I won't do anything like that as long as there are any alternatives. I more people refused bullshit like this it wouldn't spread.

  3. There were people asking if their screwdrivers would stop working. The hype was much larger than anything that could have happened if nothing was done.

  4. We still need the city or the area code to properly stalk you on street view

  5. https://plus.codes/ show it's really 12m x 15m

  6. Everything Google does other than search is a plus

  7. The locally produced cost that much because they don't need to compete with the global market, they make a killer profit. But we have to protect that 2000 jobs from GM (by making 300 million people pay double for their cars)

  8. Re:Since when did commie capitalists play fair? on Elon Musk Sides With Trump On Trade With China, Citing 25 Percent Import Duty On American Cars (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not mitigated. The Chinese hurt their own market more than the US with their tariffs, and the US will only get more hurt raising it's own tariffs. Tariffs aren't good for any country. They are a tool of populist governments, or of powerful men to give a handout to his friends, they benefit one part of the population and harm all the rest.

  9. Re: "more eyeballs mean more secure code"?! on Are the BSDs Dying? Some Security Researchers Think So (csoonline.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    van Sprundel also praised OpenBSD's response to his bug findings, saying that De Raadt responded within a week, and OpenBSD patched the flaws within a few days.

  10. Uber is probably keep cheaper than that cars in our lifetimes

  11. Re:Gotta catch 'em all... on A Federal Ban On Making Lethal Viruses Is Lifted (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    But most of the rest of the world doesn't have nearly as much of the means to create some new world-ending virus.

  12. Re:Don't Roll Your Own Crypto on A Cryptocurrency Without a Blockchain Has Been Built To Outperform Bitcoin (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    The stock market isn't the economy, most of what happens to it is only relevant to it's investors. Come back when you have empiric evidence that deflation is bad to common people.

  13. Isn't there an exception for libraries and archives too? How is the wayback machine legal?

  14. Before that there will be an AI scammer, that will be very convincing in make you give some money to it

  15. Should have at least used a weaker encryption on Koolova Ransomware Decrypts For Free If You Read Two Articles About Ransomware (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    If you're going to "educate" people like this, you could at least use a weaker encryption for when your command and control goes offline people have a way to break it.

  16. I'll buy that when I'm allowed to move to the US and/work for US companies. Until that happens, this globalization shit is nonsense coming from them.

  17. Re:Yeah, no. on Is Technology A Bigger Story Than Donald Trump? (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    IMO the most noticeable thing I would notice after traveling back in time to the 40s woud be the lack of current technologies. (if not arriving in the middle of a battle from the WW)

  18. Re:Accept the fact that technology moves on. on Slashdot Asks: Do We Need To Plan For a Future Without Jobs And Should We Resort To Universal Basic Income? (vox.com) · · Score: 1

    The automation and new jobs got concentrated in the "developed" countries, but it's still far less jobs than there were before, and things are really worse in poor countries than it was before things like the industrial revolution.

  19. Re:The fringe cases are still going to be hard on When Mercedes-Benz Starts Selling Self-Driving Cars, It Will Prioritize Driver's Safety Over Pedestrian's (inverse.com) · · Score: 1

    You wish, but the main reason I hear from SUV owners is exactly that: They are "safer" in crashes (for them, they don't care about the other people).

  20. you dont need bootloader and recovery stuff just for rooting. that is for installing a custom rom

  21. Re:I expect to be *entertained* not productive on Autonomous Vehicles Won't Give Us Any More Free Time, Says Study (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Insurance want some shit happen, or nobody will buy insurance.

  22. Re:KZ is the 8th largest country, never hear about on Malware Linked To Government of Kazakhstan Targets Journalists, Political Activists and Lawyers, Says Report (eff.org) · · Score: 1

    That's because they have a ver low population density, living in an authoritarian government. With only 18 million people there, that's around 6/km. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  23. Re:Since neither is getting elected on Gary Johnson: I'd Consider Pardoning Snowden, Chelsea Manning (vocativ.com) · · Score: 1

    A single vote will not make any difference into choosing the lesser evil too. Use your vote to tell what you want.

  24. At least outsourcing to India you benefit India on FWD.us Wants More H-1B Visas, But 50% Go To Offshore Firms · · Score: 1

    Traditional outsourcing at least help India's economy. H1B is bad for americans with far less benefit for India. The solution is for poor countries to develop. Americans are crying while their bellies are full.

  25. Re:Bait and Switch on Former FCC Boss: Data Caps Not About Network Congestion · · Score: 1

    Problem is "informed consumers" doesn't exist. People are more likely to believe whatever the media is paid to say, than somenone in the internet claiming Acme's Asbestos Pie is toxic.
