No, stereotyping is literally making strong distinctions.
The root stere- means stiff, firm, solid, etc. It's original usage was to refer to shitty, hard soil that couldn't grow crops and grew to also be applied to livestock that couldn't produce offspring. It's where we get steer (the bovine) and sterile from.
A stereotype has nothing to do with assumptions or correlation (or lack thereof). A stereotype is a strong distinction applied to things. All square is a stereotype of a rectangle, which is a stereotype of a 2D polygon.
A 2D polygon with 4 regular (convex) angles of equal measure defined by sides of equal measure is a stereotypical square.
A video game that is marketed to hell with trailers that don't match the final game, has a huge budget that's reflected more in the adverting than the game itself, releases in an incomplete, buggy state, and has a multiplayer portion rife with hackers and cheaters is a stereotypical Ubisoft game.
Amazon is supposed to vet the 3rd parties they work with.
Says who? Is eBay also supposed to vet 3rd parties? What about Craigslist?
Amazon is on the hook.
Says who?
Says who?
Says Amazon. Amazon has an actively policed (so they claim) program for 3rd party sellers. There are eligibility requirements, application processes, and varying terms based on on what you're selling, how you're listing it, your volume, etc.
The truth of the matter is Amazon knowingly and eagerly welcomes fraudulent listings for bogus products from 3rd party scammers because on the whole, it's profitable for Amazon.
Amazon lists it on their storefront. Amazon handles the financial transaction. Amazon profits off of each sale. Amazon often ships the thing out to you even if it's a third party. Amazon is supposed to vet the 3rd parties they work with. Amazon is on the hook.
Not sure what imager he's using but it sounds like he's storing raw shit for no reason. If you store it in 16-bit greyscale (or whatever format your software uses to allow decent non-destructive contrast adjustment), you'll get 200 MB from a 10240x10240 image.
100 Gbps isn't going to help "telepresence" as it doesn't lower latency, and even 100 Mbps is more than enough for live video, audio, control, and whatever else.
There were situations where my daughter would be FaceTiming and the others would be streaming on the 4K TVs and they'd start screaming at each other about hogging the bandwidth
If you had consistent 1000 Mbps service, this wouldn't be true unless there are two dozen people counted in "the others".
The upper left corner of the screen is a terrible place for the ESC key for software that uses it a lot,
Software that uses a dedicated, isolated, important key a lot is terrible.
Escape is the key that stands alone. It's special, in the corner all by itself. It's there when you need it, and it's nearly impossible to fat finger it and hit the wrong key. If you need a meta or control key, use one of those. Escape is a functional key and should be used for a very small set of dedicated functions, such as terminating shit.
If you've got a list of 50 combos and sequences involving the escape key, fuck you. CTRL, META/ALT, SHIFT, etc. are there for that purpose. You even have the new meta key (that doesn't seem to have a standardized name beyond "Windows" key since it's usually got the Windows logo on it) if you need more options. In fact, many of you using Escape in your text editor of choice can and should switch to a different key just a few inches away.
Today it would cost trillions in construction, labor, parts, assessments, lobbyists, bribes, etc. to build a new network of utility poles/pipes/conduit/etc. rivaling what the entrenched telecoms have near-exclusive access to.
Trump is a blowhard, but he will be an instant lame duck. Hillary will likely start WWIII, with the full backing of Congress, the media, the corporations, and the serfs that will wither be sent off to die or have fire rain upon them.
Cue the bitching about the individual tests Edge won not being relevant.

Fuck Slashdot's subdomains. I lost FP because I had to reload the page and redo my comment since I wasn't logged into it.slashdot.org or whatever the fuck (because I only allow slashdot.org cookies on slashdot.org).
I've been a happy Note owner for years, 3 different versions but when the specs on the Note 7 came out I saw it as a loser, too thin, too little battery life and I have to use mine on many flights. I've now had to show multiple flight attendants and gate agents that "no, this is a Note 6, not a Note 7." Sorry, next upgrade will be an LG for me and the Note is dead to me.
Nice try, troll. There is no Samsung Galaxy Note 6. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7's predecessor was the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Samsung skipped version 6 in order to align the S line and the Note line. Previously, the S line (as in Samsung Galaxy S7 and its variants) was one version ahead of the Note.
And auto-opening doors in general... just how fucking lazy do you have to be that opening your own car door is more effort than you're willing to exert?
It's not about laziness, it's about impotence. Cars that auto open, or have door handles that pop out in your presence, are a sexual thing. The car is presenting to you.
What we need is a render target, where CSS can say "render this shit as 16x9, 1920x1080", and then the browser can obey (or tweak), and then scale. So if you use pixel scaling (and in many cases you still need to) it'll still work.
The way it works now is all backwards. You specify targets and sizes and create different rules for each. Then you have dozens of sets of CSS and it's a mess to maintain and test. It almost makes sense for the handful of non-screen media types that no one deals with, but not really.
Just flip it around. Make the CSS tell the browser what the page should look, as intended. Stop using CSS to try to catch dozens of common resolutions (while making a mess of anything in between should a user not maximize). Specify a ratio and let the browser (or user!) decide to rotate, zoom, scale, pan, or whatever. Specifying a res also handles enables full pixel-based scaling and positioning in your layout, the only issue will be possible rounding errors after scaling. I believe HTML 5's canvas shit already works on a similar principle.
All the big sites already shit on convention by making the page scroll endlessly, moving content around when a user scrolls to create stupid effects, etc.
There is also a way to submit a blank post. I forget which entity you use, but Slashdot thinks it's printable and thus won't stop you from posting it with the "you can type more than that for your comment" error.
When a gun is stolen and used in a crime we seize it as evidence. When a zombie PC or "IoT" piece of shit is DDoSing something, we should block its traffic and cut off the customer if necessary.
He's bullshitting through and through. He's likely a millennial whose imaging a past that didn't exist so he can pretend battery tech has meaningfully progressed. It hasn't.

I think he means conceal and carry, and by that I think he means have a gun within reach to shoot people who try to mug them.

You can stuff more resolution than a surgeon can see in about 40 Mbps even using h.264 instead of h.265.
Introducing your own currency is the kind of thing that gets the goon squad rappelling down from your roof and crashing through your windows at 3 AM.

I do my job amazingly. In fact, I'm not paid accordingly. You should adjust my pay upward by about a fifth to a third annually.
Thanks.

If your degree is genuine, you should have also bitched about the "the solar system has no choice but to slowly twist out of alignment" bullshit.
It'll slowly twist into alignment. It'll just be an oscillating alignment or an alignment you weren't expecting.
