I've noticed a growing portion of slashdot articles are basically flamebait/choir preaching or things that are otherwise designed to cause maximum bandwagoning and outrage in the comments.
The stories might technically be relevant or "stuff that matters", but it's really starting to get blatantly obvious.

Comment Re:Correlation between Antibiotics and Obesity? (Score 1) 256
On a hunch I decided to see if there's a correlation between obesity and antibiotics (which are known to kill both the good and bad types of gut bacteria)
Here's a map showing antibiotic prescribing rates.

Correlation is not causation, but in my unprofessional opinion, these maps look eerily similar.
I blame it on lightning.

Apple Explores the Idea Of Killing Headphone Jack On the MacBook Pro (thenextweb.com) 495
Less than two weeks after Apple unveiled its headphone jack-less iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the company is already exploring the idea of doing the same on its flagship computing lineup. An anonymous reader shares a report on The Next Web: Apple might be going all-in with the wireless revolution as the company is now allegedly considering killing the headphone jack on the MacBook Pro. Users are reporting that as of recently Apple has been asking them to fill in a survey about the way they use their MacBook Pro and one of the questions pertains particularly to the headphone jack. Shared by Blake A. via Twitter, the question reads "Do you ever use the headphone port on your MacBook Pro with Retina display?", suggesting Apple is exploring going jackless with its laptops in the future. Given the Cupertino company just ditched the audio jack on the iPhone 7, the change is likely to eventually come to other Apple products too -- the real question is when.Several Slashdot readers have also confirmed that they have participated in a similar survey with some noting that Apple also asked them about the removable of headphone jack on some of its other computing lineup including the iMac.

But Netflix also said it's working on a way to give users control over how much bandwidth they wish to use to access the service.
For the love of God please implement this. There is no reason for my kids to eat hundreds of gigs of data so that they can watch Power Rangers Dino Thunder in full 1080P on their Kindles. The Disney Jr app has this feature and you can't tell that Doc McStuffins is on the lowest bandwidth setting.

I didn't not realize you get a volume discount for fuel. Is that what you are insinuating? Otherwise, your price per mile traveled is higher for vehicles that have lower MPG.

I was born and raised in Silicon Valley. This is my home. People are always surprised that there are natives still left in the area.
I am one of the few native Nashvillians. People are always surprised there are natives still here as well. They always want to know where I am "from".
