I want net neutrality, but this is embarrassingly stupid. You can't have net neutrality in one state on a practical level to begin with, and this is definitely not something the states are empowered to do beside that.
My entire point is that if it talks about that, the headline should be that. Writing shitty headlines is a classic propaganda tactic. The guy spreading the bias knows that it's the most important part; many won't read anything else, and for those who do, it leads them very effectively to the desired conclusion about the content of the article.
That's not quite true. They are legally allowed to turn down bills too large or huge piles of pennies. If they don't take ANY cash, though? Yeah, just waltz right the fuck out.
That's nothing. I'm working on a new cryptocurrency backed by The US Dollar. Specifically, the one in my sock drawer. If anyone can manage to corner the market on DollarCoin, they can trade it straight across for The US Dollar. That's value you can take to the bank.
large-scale programs that showed people how to spot fake news, in other words, a central authority that tells people what they should consider true
putting tight controls on political adverts, in other words, disallowing political speech considered untrue by a central authority
making social media giants do more to remove bots and tune algorithms to be more objective, in other words, a central authority telling people how to run a website
The usual denial hasn't been to deny melting for like thirty years at least. Instead, it's posited that the melting is due to a natural cycle; we're coming out of an interglacial period and back into bed normalcy. The ice caps haven't existed for most of Earth's history, you know.
Some of the people who don't buy AGW are actually scientists who modify their theories occasionally, believe it or not. That's where the crazy conspiracy shit comes from. There are some sound ideas in mainstream ecology, but so much stock has been put into shutting out legit dissenters that it makes them indistinguishable from dissenting crackpots. It should be obvious to everyone that this movement is more financially motivated than anything else.
Anything that keeps attrition high is a good thing. If a job is too good, they'll never want to leave and won't become so stressed, ill, or busy that they do something fireable. An employer runs the risk of an employee becoming indispensable rather than interchangeable, qualifying for a raise or insurance, or even, God forbid it, earning a pension.
You can't get any of that shit just because you're poor in most states. And woe betide thee if you're underemployed, as you DEFINITELY won't get help with that. A successful disability claim is the only way for most people to get the help they need in either case.
No, it doesn't. I just played through the whole thing. The menu screen looks like Alhambra, the music has lots of Mideast influence, and the instructions are in Arabic as well as English, but you wouldn't know that if the only context you had was the game itself, because it explains nothing about Islamic culture. The inspiration is there, but the indoctrination is not.
It's just geometric designs, guy. Look at the video, there's nothing about Islam itself here. It is simply inspired by a particular cultural influence.
If you think your job is to do exactly what the directions say like a robot, then you will be the first replaced with a robot, and that's what you deserve.
What's a "real-looking signature?" You can't claim it's common sense, because common sense is very clearly "signatures are a joke, don't bother." So, you have to define that more rigorously in a way that somehow ignores the fact that signatures are trivial to forge, difficult to verify, and still somehow meaningfully an indicator that the cardholder has read the entirety of the latest version of their card's terms and conditions, even though they have no hope of understanding them without degrees in law and finance.
Signatures persist in formal applications for the same reason we allow clickwrap contracts: we all know that this part of the law protects only the deepest pockets. Signatures are only taken seriously by Boomers.

I had the same thought, but the downside is heavy: a "secure" network with the surveillance built right into it.

Without the car, the gas stays in the fucking ground and doesn't do shit.
What kind of fucking insane russomexican jenk do you need to huff to get excited about an industry-specific cryptocurrency?
Kansas uses the death penalty.
Hopefully they use it this time.

Sensationalist trash like this perpetuates misunderstanding of polyamorous people.
Where did you get this idea? It's the opposite of how it works.

It'd be necessary in some cases. Because of how much was on the server, you're not getting Darkspore back without EA coughing it up.
It's an important skill, and obviously part of what we call wisdom, but I don't think it's the sine qua non.
I can offer an SSI benefit letter as supporting credentials.

Freedom is slavery.
All computer scientists worthy of the name prefer paper voting.
"back into bed"
No, that is where I should definitely not post from. Slashdot has always been janky with my phone keyboard for some reason.

You have no idea how much it warms my heart to see that there are still slashdot users more passionate about character encoding than politics.
