  1. Re: TRASH Article on The Real Reason Palmer Luckey Was Fired From Facebook (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    The cognitive dissonance enters the situation here: Nobody wants to believe that the company Carmack worked for knowingly skuttled the modern VR gaming movement by selling to Facebook, who they knew ahead of time would just gobble up all the patents and then one way or another bury them forever.

  2. So which hosting company there do you work for?

  3. The news is that Ruby itself, without any additional third-party libraries, exposes you to attacks that it was designed to prevent, which were fixed in PHP years ago. But importantly, back then even when it was known to be unsafe, PHP warned against using it in unsafe ways. Ruby on the other hand said "don't worry we got your back" but apparently actually didn't.

  4. That 22% is all the bots, anyway. We're good now.

  5. And then, there's the beatings... on How Dad's Stresses Get Passed Along To Offspring (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 2

    This isn't what I meant when I said we need to be taking a more careful look at how parents' stresses impact their children's development.

    Your racist ascii-art skills are garbage. What, did you auto generate those from a gif you saved in 1995 or something?

    Well, unlikely but not completely impossible. Of course, if they really didn't already know, that actually says something far worse about them.

  8. Well it won't, if you're assuming there will never be another election. Am I to infer from your statement that that is the case?

  9. Grocery stores and other such regularly-frequented public businesses have already been doing this for years in the US, already, where you're still property, but of an anonymous megacorp who won't admit it publicly and you don't even get to know the name of

    The number of jobs is likely less than the 13,000 promised.

    Yea, and go figure, nobody who lives in fucking Wisconsin is qualified to do any of them.

    Yea, it would be way easier to just transfer Chinese workers from California.

    He wouldn't be making public statements like this if he didn't care about his image.

    Yea, he was on record saying that a couple weeks ago when he thought he was being bribed to say it by pragmatic adults instead of psychopathic toddlers.

    Every time he's in the news now it's about him scrambling around clearly having expected that his corporate backers would be adults and protect his public image the way he protected their bottom line.

  15. But you don't actually know that. You didn't talk to them each personally. Nobody did. You couldn't possibly have even got a reasonable sized sample set by now if you had tried.

  16. But what if they didn't, though? What if that perception of that particular public preference was just the symptoms of coordinated astro-turfing already, way back then? What if we all fell for it? I know I was one of the people clamoring against creating a giant creeping national security liability under the guise of national security. Weren't you, too? What if we all were? What if nobody wanted this except for a handful of rich and viciously evil traitors or foreign nationals? What if they tricked us into all blaming each other for it instead of taking action before it was too late?

    All I got from it was proof we've poisoned our environment collaterally in ways we had previously not even considered, and thus natural protections are no longer sufficient.
