Slashdot Mirror

Yes, let's look deeply into what happened. Here is an album of the tweets from Russian trolls released by Congress extracted from the PDFs. The parts blacked out were done by Congress.

It looks like the Russian trolls were busy supporting BLM and opposing police abuse. Would you still agree that the safest thing is to make sure that doesn't happen again?

Trump is fighting against people like here in Seattle that don't count our vote:

Wow. Just wow. It is hard to see BuzzFeed publishing a 35-page document containing unverified, lurid allegations about President-elect Hillary Clinton that it didn't consider credible.

"They stopped being journalists and began being *cheerleaders*, and became people who had a conclusion that they reached, and then searched for facts to show that Hillary Clinton was an 92, 93, 99 point 9999 chance winner, of winning this campaign.

If I can pontificate a bit, for your edification, one of the rules of the Internet is "there are no girls on the Internet". This rule does not mean what you think it means.

In real life, people like you for being a girl. They want to fuck you so they pay attention to you and they pretend what you have to say is interesting, or that you are smart or clever. On the Internet, we don't have the chance to fuck you. This means the advantage of being a "girl" does not exist. You don't get a bonus to conversation just because I'd like to put my cock in your ham wallet.

When you make a post like, "hurr durr, I'm a girl", you are begging for attention. The only reason to post it is because you want your girl-advantage back, because you are too vapid and too stupid to do or say anything interesting without it. You are forgetting the rules, there are no girls on the Internet.

The one exception to this rule, the one way you can get your "girlness" back on the Internet, is to post your tits. This is, and should be, degrading for you; an admission that the only interesting thing about you is your naked body.

TL;DR: tits or GET THE FUCK OUT

The Dart Summit was three years ago this week. Seems like longer ago. You're right the employees there were nice unlike the ones I've dealt with here in Seattle that work for Facebook. Arrogant is not a strong enough word for them.

Here's a pic I took from Google's lunch room balcony that week:

The location is amazing.

some employers have abandoned the salary negotiation process, and instead just calculate a take-it-or-leave-it offer based on experience and qualifications. This actually turns out to eliminate another systemic bias that lowers female pay, the salary history.

By lowering everyone's salary. Now women make less pay and work with less qualified people while maintaining the lower salary history. In the end being worse off by not improving as much as their competitive counterparts: the original problem.

Do they have a system to automatically release swamp gas too?

I've seen this effect with any minority. A member of an identifiable minority who leads an organization and does something obnoxious - layoffs, re-orgs, whatever - it's the whole minority that's held accountable. I've seen it with Jews, Mormons, Indians. But if some guy comes in with a reputation for ruthlessness - remember Chainsaw Al? And the rest of those bosses in that article? No one blames the entire majority for the behavior of a few members.

Remember Timothy McVeigh? Or any of a host of serial killers? Same phenomenon.

Don't get me wrong - I disagree with the implications of the comment and I'm telling you why. But I believe in free expression and am opposed to things like the parent comment being censored.

"All you need is a delivery mechanism for the food." We already have that. It is called the "Automat" and developed and deployed in 1895. Why aren't all restaurants automats? There are restaurants where the food comes out on conveyor belts next to your table (and have been around for decades). Why aren't all restaurants like that?

Actually, I was thinking more like a really tall roomba. All you need is a robot that's flat on top to hold the food. You already know the layout of the restaurant so program that in and add some sensors to avoid collisions. Besides, there's a perfect example of prior art to work off of.

" Trash collectors- self driving trucks with a robotic arm to pick up the cans and dump them into the truck." Who is developing that? You? That would be quite a feat to do that with zero humans! You guys read too many PR pieces.

How is that a stretch from what we have now? We already have robotic arms that can pick up something here and put down there. It's not at all a stretch of the imagination to see automated trash pickup. And this is residential trash pickup. Commercial or bulk trash using dumpsters would be even easier to do.

Just to add to the irony: while Sarkeesian has basically only said "It'd be nice if they made games aimed at women, and some games have gender based tropes that are harmful to women and often to men

Sure thing, it's not like it's different at all...here maybe a image will make it all easier for you.But probably not.

Gamergaters actually held Thompson up as a hero at one point in the whole Gamergate fiasco

And...when you go full retard, and fail to figure out that people that support gamergate don't swallow the identity politics pill. Sure not seeing "hero" in your link by the way. Looks like a whole lot of people saying he's a crazy loon, but has the occasional good point. Oh, there's that identity politics bullshit you just couldn't avoid. With the anti-gamergate actor who wrote the storify, repeatedly posting their own tweets over again as proof? That it's 100% true. Man, that's just earth shattering.

You know something though? They have a very interesting history with another anti-gamergate actor. I'm sure you're quite familiar with them too. Just another one, that claimed it was all bots and harassment while making up the harassment all on their own to smear.

The American right wing owns the media. OK. LOL! What, like the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and all the rest? Those are all right wing? OK buddy, sure. I think you represent some kind of tiny splinter group that has zero traction. The Left is about sound economic policies? It's about borrow and spend to buy votes.

Right wing identity politics! OMG the Left invented identity politics and used it as a club to beat the crap out of us. It worked, too. They encouraged the BLM riots and cheered as people were attacked and neighborhoods burned. They encourage and PAID thugs to attack Trump supporters at rallies. They celebrated paid goons and Antifa shutting down free speech. America is more divided than ever, and the Left is at the forefront of it all.

the /. mods will happily let them stand

Perhaps you don't understand how the Slashdot moderation system works. We are the moderators. And you are free to mod down any comments that you feel are trolling, incitefull or just off topic.

Perhaps you don't know how the reporting flags work. It's supposed to enable admins to remove content that is beyond just Offtopic or Flamebait

structural racism

I don't see anything in the design of Slashdot that excludes any particular group. In fact, we don't even require that you identify yourself by race or gender anymore. So there is nothing about this forum that excludes anyone.

And for the record structural racism isn't individual racism which is what you're talking about. Structural racism is like how on slashdot everyone feels perfectly content to belittle minorities because there's no consequence for doing so

This is a borderline criminal idea and should be treated as such.

You need to understand two things:

(1) (((Mark Zuckerberg))) is a lying scumbag who cannot be trusted. Everything he says is a lie.

(2) Tracking you. Spying on you. Selling you to advertisers. That is Facebook's business. That is Facebook's only business. Anything else ("connecting people") is entirely coincidental. When (((Mark Zuckerberg))) tries to tell you that this isn't true, see point #1.

I'm calling bullshit: the study did absolutely no such thing. In fact, I'm just going to link to a screenshot of their results (can't link to the actual study as it's behind a paywall). First, a couple of things to note: while their underlying population is large, the number of cases of tumors and lesions is tiny, so any results are going to be highly subject to statistical fluctuations (if the rate for a rare disease is 1/1000, a sample of 1000 people could easily still have 2-4 people with the disease, or none, just by chance). Secondly, there is little or no correlation between exposure and tumors (I'm not actually going to try to fit a line, but by eye the correlation is not great: in some cases the control groups showed a higher rate than the exposure). Third, they subdivided by male/female into separate groups. While there's some justification for doing that, what it means is that they've essentially doubled the number of studies they're conduction (actually kinda tripled, since they take male+female as another group, but that's not independent, so it's a bit more complicated than that), so finding something statistically significant (by chance) is twice as likely. In fact, given they made tests for 4 different conditions, with 3 different exposures, all divided into 2+ groups, they essentially made 24 tests. If you set your statistical significance at 0.05, you'd expect\* (by chance) 1.2 statistically significant results. They found one.

\*I'm simplifying here, it's more precise to say that if you conducted an infinite number of identical studies the average one would produce 1.2 "statistically significant" (p less than 0.05) results by pure chance.

Here is the data on brain cancer. Here is their data on heart cancer. I see no correlation in this data (but someone with a better statistics skill than me might be able to explain it to me). What I see is that if you divide your data into enough groups, one of the groups is likely to show a correlation (this is the relevant explanation)

I almost splattered a girl the other day, because she had her head so deep in her damned phone that she didn't even bother to look up at all before launching herself into the street against the traffic light. If I had, you can be damned sure I'd be suing her estate for the damages to my vehicle and psyche.

No! You're wrong! Drivers should always be aware of everything happening in a sphere of radius 100 meters around their vehicle. If you're driving this van, and you can't avoid that collision, then you shouldn't be on the public right of way! Pedestrians are never in the wrong, in fact I bet that van was driven by an AI.

It's so much not a sidewalk that they have signs to tell you not to use it: https://imgur.com/a/KyxTK

What "the girl" are you talking about, the one in the video I linked to above? The one who actually got hit by a person, who did not might well have seen her? Or one of the other hundreds or thousands of people who get hit by humans every day? I hope you're not talking about the one who got squished next to Marquee Theater by Uber, because when a show lets out there, there are people running all over the street (right next to a bus stop, 4 or 5 story parking garage, and light rail stop - AKA, obstacles).

There's no reason to freak out.

If an AI is not looking that far ahead, it might end up with no time to stop.

Well, if my aunt had balls, she might end up being my uncle. All of the speculation is a fun exercise and all, but let's go ahead and assume that the people who have been working on autonomous driving for the last decade haven't been sitting around doing nothing all day.

Also, I like how you're assuming the best for humans, who "might well have" seen someone 300 feet in front of them and they're getting ready to respond to them. Have you seen actual human drivers? Often they have no idea where they're heading or where they're supposed to go, much less anything going on around them. But then, just like you assume the best for humans, you assume the worst for AI, like the AI is sitting there texting its friend instead of watching the road. Come back to reality. Yes, in the reality you're describing where humans are always aware of everything within 100 yards, and AI just straight up doesn't see a person right in front of them, it's safer to keep AI off the road. That is not the reality in which we live though.
