conservatives cozying up with Russians while vilifying liberals as communists, or socialists
Really? You might want to look into the links between liberals and those espousing democratic socialism.
The whole Russian collusion thing (you know, that not crime) I keep hearing about is getting to be like a religion. No evidence but people keep prattling on about it like it'll happen someday.
How is he good at going to prison? Has he done that before? I've been hearing about his imminent downfall since he was elected President, but it keeps not happening.
Hold on, so the "crook" was not prosecuted for his crimes because law enforcement was trying to sit on their incriminating evidence for... what again? Have you any idea how silly that sounds?
Enjoy that thought while it lasts! All will soon be revealed.
You know, religious zealots have been going on like that for forever. How you long do you plan on maintaining this ideology, given the complete lack of demonstrable evidence?
That's actually not that impressive. A reasonably fit rider on a 10 speed bike should be able to pull off 25 mph.
Yeah, for about 15 seconds on flat ground with no wind. Are you sure you're not conflating a reasonably fit rider on a racing bicycle with a middle aged guy on the bicycle a middle aged guy probably has in his garage? When was the last time you rode a bicycle? BTW they're called road bikes now, and I haven't seen a bicycle with a 5 speed cassette in more years than I'd like to admit!
Also, to be blunt, women do better academically than men. The reason's really simple:
And there's where you went off the rails. Schools are developed with girls / women as the gold standard. Resources are all devoted to helping girls / women get ahead. Men are excluded from programs and funding on the basis of their sex. It's gotten so bad now that there are actually more women in college than men but they're still being given special treatment. Add to all that the liberal "You're a fucking white male" attitude on school campuses and you've got a much better argument than "girls... start studying earlier... so they get an extra year or two of education".
Yes, this does mean we're going to eventually need to start shifting from helping girls catch up...
You think? Men are wholesale starting to check out of society because they don't see an advantage to playing the game. The time to fix this problem is now.
...necessary because they were discouraged from doing anything short of having babies for hundreds of years...
What a great reason to discriminate against someone on the basis of their sex NOW. Disgusting.
The original post in this thread was asking "why is this even on Slashdot?". I was responding sarcastically to that question. As far as I'm concerned really fast self driving electric cars are geek awesome. How would you make them more awesome? Everything is awesomer if you add rockets to it!
You mean like offshoring, long hours, the massive abuse that goes on in the games industry?
In the interest of factual honesty, in this case you should probably differentiate between all the personnel in an industry, and what I explicitly said (and you replied to): "about how men were being fucked...". It's an important distinction. Or did you mean to make the point there are no women working in the games industry?
Looked at from that perspective, I find I have to agree with you! I suspect the important issue though is what should be done about it? Do we try to change the culture or do we simply fix the problem by mandating that women are artificially advantaged to reach parity regardless of qualifications?
So if Oracle fucks everyone then it follows that Oracle is fucking the males too.
Well sure! Here's the interesting point... when was the last time you read an article about how men were being "fucked" by a company? Do you think this is because it doesn't happen or it's so common it's not worth commenting about? If it's not a special category (minority religion / gender / ableness?) it doesn't even hit the radar.
Yeah, what self respecting geek would ever be interested in really fast electric vehicles that can (sorta) drive themselves, with ROCKETS ADDED!?!?! What a silly idea.
JBL Flip 3 / Charge 3 and just about every $20 BT speaker on Amazon have 3.5 mm in jacks. Those tiny ones that accordion up "for bigger bass" mostly run off that jack as well. Don't all computer speakers use that plug by default as well?
So who do you think insures the government?
Exactly, yellow vests. They are essentially keying their own cars.
Sometime you should look up how a hunger strike works. Even if it's not good for them immediately, at least their voices are being heard and Macron is now paying attention.
Funny, I always thought the phrases "authoritarian asshole" and "SJW cunt" belonged together. Before you get upset, name me three SJW causes that don't attempt to assert control over others.
If someone sold bad hamburgers on the side of the road the road owners should be liable too, right? Bottom line: if someone hasn't done the bad "thing", let's not hold them responsible for doing the bad "thing". It's not fair.
Let me clarify your carefully edited summation: "a guy was making up data for papers and submitting them to journals" to show how horribly wrong the peer review / vetting process of these journals has gotten. He is now being retaliated against for showing the flaws in the system. This is not about punishing a wrongdoer, this is about punishing a whistleblower. That's a bad thing.
If you look into it a bit more, you'll see they were in the process of doing many more of these "fake" papers and got caught out. They were forced to go public before they were done.
If you manage to get a modified excerpt of Mein Kampf published in a professional journal, you should be given kudos for exposing a serious problem. I'm curious, what other whistleblowers do you think are deserving of "disciplinary action" for exposing how screwed up something is?
This is Slashdot! You are obligated to use a car analogy. Maybe something about how the owner of a road is / isn't responsible for how people operate vehicles on said road?
While he certainly shares some responsibility as initiator of a chain of events that ended in the loss of life, I'm curious about something... Who actually pointed a weapon at an innocent person and fired it, killing that person? Do you think the one who actually pulled the trigger bears any responsibility at all?
You may be technically correct, but on any given day pull up your favorite three international news sources and go over them for mentions of terrorism. You will probably notice that one faith conducts a preponderance of those activities. I bet it's not Buddhism.
And presto! Here's your 60 lb electric bicycle. Once you account for the energy lost from your pedaling to the generator, stored in the battery then run through the motor, I'd be surprised if your really heavy bicycle gave you a return of 50% of what you put into it. Contrast that with a decent standard bicycle drivetrain (94-97% efficient) and you have why that would be a problem. Now if you have a dynamo hub to charge capacitors powering lighting, speakers, phone etc. I bet that could have some legs to it...
Regenerative breaking is awesome in a car BTW. I was driving my friends Nissan Leaf all over town one morning while he was trying to drink coffee. It was most amusing (for me).

You may be surprised to learn these devices are always listening to you.
If they didn't do this they couldn't listen for the activation word.

a good prediction, or life imitating art?
Third option: Firefly was just that awesome.

So he wants them to moderate the speech their platform enables.
I can't see how THAT could possibly end badly for all parties involved!
We removed that interface as part of an effort to make to improve the Hub security.
I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.
