Just because their Rewind video sucked balls and garned universal condemnation does not mean "organized groups are weaponizing the downvote button". They are just expressing their discontent.
YouTube's problem is that they *still* don't get it. They have no idea why their platform works, treat content creators like numbers, and think PC mumbo-jumbo is actually going to be respected outside left-wing echo chambers and pressure groups.
Instagram has been using the Facebook CDN to deliver images for at least a year already. And making friend suggestions for Instagram based on your FB friends list...
Todays thread about something that has been released under a CC licence, free for anyone to use or modify provided the attribute the source... and then wanting to add EXTRA conditions after the fact because someone uses it in a way they don't like.
That's not how licences work. If you want more restrictions, or a non-profit clause, then use the correct licence to begin with.
People go on Slashdot to find answers to coding questions. Why in fucks name would anyone bother (or even feel the need) to identify their gender or race, if they weren't deliberately baiting for a response?
If you're going to start a post (anywhere) with "as a black disabled lesbian", what response are you trying to ellicit in the first place?
I wondered this also. I'm guessing at that time, they perhaps didn't have MUL or DIV instructions, or even the concept of SHL or ROL which would have allowed a test for "divisible by 2".
So I'm guessing they started with a "factor", example 2, added it together repeatedly until it equalled or was greater than the target, remembering how many additions were made. If equal to the target, repeat the addition half the number of times, and replace that with the old target, and output 2 as a factor. If greater than the target, try the next "factor" 3,5,7 etc etc.
Repeat until target = 0
It's surprising how relatively recent native MUL and DIV operations are in processors.
Why not convert them all to ASCII text, no images, no colors, and only allow download from a 2400 or less baud modem for that really authentic 1990 feel?
Dad just downloaded Anal Action 3, and Mom is enjoying the interactive 50 Shades of Grey app. Would you like to see what else your parents did, or continue with your purchase of $1000 worth of Pokemon-Go coins on Dads credit card?
Especially when the models prove to be totally innacurate, and rather than MODIFYING the models, they massage the data for the umpteenth time to FIT the model and bump doomsday 10 years into the future.

How long until you stop trying to crowbar your buttcoins into every last use-case you can think of in an effort to prop up your failed investment long enough for you to break even after 2 years?
I dunno, why not ask every user of Windows who thought the same thing about Window Updates, and suddenly discovered a 4GB download forcedon them for an O/S they don't want?
Yeah, and as of version 40.0.3 it still manages to lock up tabs and refuse to close them when you click on the little X. Want to take a guess what appears in the developer console when this happens?

Failing to understand why this is even "news".

This is like telling an alcoholic the alcohol content of the drink in their hand, and expecting them to quit immediately.
Addicts don't really care about odds.

"Starbucks" and "highly skilled workers" in the same sentence?
Isn't the H1B system just a massive piss take to import cheap foreign labour?
Which is okay, as that's where most of their users occupy their time.

The "law" in this case being too popular?

Yeah, it preys on his mind for all of 30 seconds!

And this won't? What a silly shortsighted [expletive] that woman is.

... but not something you're going to be able to put on your CV, not justify with the wife ... "I'm not browsing porn, I'm doing security research!"
You shouldn't have to press a button to press a button in a product called Press The Button.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world with one eye each and a sense of perspective.

It's perfectly acceptable to fry a bloody Mars Bar in the west of Scotland.

The government wants you to believe that you need EXTRA liability insurance and safety provisions than is already covered by your motor insurance.
If I give someone a lift, nothing extra is required. If that someone drops me a few bucks for gas, nothing extra is required.
