And when he presented this theory and support, it had legitimate flaws that the science community rationally had concerns about. For some reason, that part of the narrative always seems to get dropped.
"MegaBots is evaluating potential host countries and working with governments that may be interested in and willing to host such an event, and future tournaments."
We all know it's gonna be in Dubai. There is no way this won't be in Dubai.
manishs, did you investigate this one before pushing it up? The more I read about it, the more this all looks like a stunt by Sinclaire. Instead of going through proper channels, this guy went through an opposing candidate, and actively goes above and beyond privately reporting a security flaw; instead publically exposing it on YouTube and going on to actually explore the system once gaining access. All this with no time for the government to fix it. That's not how security evaluators should _ever_ behave. So then he goes to jail, allowing crummy summaries like this one, to effectively say "RAWR, HARRINGTON BAD!!". Harrington did not appear to pursue the arrest. It looks like Sinclair hoped to get an arrest to increase negative exposure on Harrington to help get her voted out. Publishing a summary like this on Slashdot means that these people are effectively playing the editors. The only good thing is that the summary feels so incredibly slanted that it sets off some people's bullshit detectors.
The idea behind Snapchat is that after you send a photo, it disappears in a few moments. You can screencap it, but the sender gets an alert when you do that. So, it's like popular for sending dickpics and stuff.
So this is a difficult and systemic problem that is going to take lots of eyes and wise input to slowly work towards solving; and we won't see significant improvement for about a generation. DAMNIT.
We'd better set up some advocacy groups ASAP to try and help figure out good ways to deal with this problem.
I appreciate that solutions like quotas and subsidies are harrowing, and quite possibly not ideal. But people in comment sections like this freak out at the mere mention of anyone even approaching the problem.
For one thing, she was always just "interim CEO". She had no prior experience as a CEO. And, as I said, she'd been doing a crummy job of communicating with the reddit user base. The dev team was doing a crummy job of interacting with the moderators, which is in part, her responsibility. And yeah, there was the whole political drama related to her pre-existing lawsuit. The shitlords were raising a stink trying to get her fired, and it was getting to the point that mainstream media was starting to notice. When this happens, it is bad news because this is when sponsors and investors consider pulling their business. So the board decided for that collection of reasons, which in the end all translate to profit-motive, combined with learning that the former founder was interested in returning, throwing Pao under the bus was an obvious choice. Add to that, Pao probably didn't want to stay in control of a company that had users like those people. Redditors have since made comments asking if Ellen wanted to return, and her response was basically, "you couldn't pay me enough to do that job again".
I'll grant you that plenty of people will be there to urge young women into STEM. That said, if you try to get a girl interested in the realm of computing and tech, she will be met with lots of resistance, from the hands of people like most of the commentors here. Constantly shaming her and saying that she's only in this program because she's a dumb girl, generally making her feel like shit. The women-in-STEM supporters are really happy to hear about women being in STEM, but they can't do a damn thing about all the assholes.
Nor have I solicited my approval. If you're the kind of person who likes to just swear at random people on the Internet, then hey, I wish you the best. No sarcasm. I hope that this opportunity to call someone a snowflake has managed to improve the quality of your day.
Many people reply to comments in order to change peoples minds; to cause either the parent, or readers of the thread to reconsider things. If you're gonna word things in such a way that both sides just dismiss you, it doesn't sound nearly as satisfying to me. But you do you.
That is a horrible horrible horrible horrible reality show waiting to happen.
Also, with the exception of the Amish, and the addition of lots more in that "etc." group, you've pretty much just described New York City; one of the largest and most successful cities in the world.
Could you please point me to these statistics? This sounds pretty exciting. I want you to be right. I already understand that the "70 cents on a dollar" number often used is skewed and related to bad stats or outdated info. But I've yet to hear anything about women making more than men.
...He's talking about Pao as well. Do you really have to jump straight into aggressive responses? If you're position is correct, shouldn't logical discourse be sufficient? I mean, I understand that this is a passionate issue; and you have every right to be mad, but "Go fuck yourself, snowflake" only helps to shut down the ability for the various sides of an issue to come to understand each other.
And after all of it, she was still amazingly cool about it. She still posts to reddit on occasion. Everything in her history is kind and amusing. The shitlords did an amazing job on this spin. Lots of perfectly reasonable people were convinced that her, and lots of other women are out to ruin free speech. And those shitlords and the reasonable people who got caught up in the "struggle" defend free speech by downvoting or down-modding anyone who argues otherwise so that those comments become hidden, such as this parent comment...I don't know if they don't see the logic-conflict there, or they just don't care.
Since that reddit mess, I've seen a number of people in discussion admitting they were swept up in the mob mentality, and they were contributing to the hate without really bothering to do their own research into what was really going on. A number of these people have apologized, and from time to time Ellen has responded to these apologies with understanding.
Lol. You buy into propaganda pretty easily, huh? She certainly did some fuckups. She was not good at controlling her message. But the rest of the claims here are what the panicked shitlords wanted you to see. She didn't purge anyone. The subreddits that were removed, were removed after she was dismissed, and the were removed because they were encouraging the levying of credible threats. A company failing to shut activities like that is begging to be sued into oblivion. Any ideals about a space where you can be free to threaten to sexually assault or physically harm actually people, and still expect the revenue is going to be around to keep such a site online are completely foolish. Groups like fatpeoplehate got upset, and defensive, and ran an honestly spectacular smear campaign.
She still posts on reddit. If you read through her comment history, she's a pretty nice lady. She took all the abuse the community gave her in stride, which is something I don't think I could even manage.
This is some uncommonly good troll-bait. I must admit, I almost fell for it. Could you imagine if anyone was really dumb enough to think this way, and then be vocal about it in public forums devoted to nerds? That's be insane.
People don't complain much about a lack of men in nursing because it's one of the few things women have that isn't constantly contested. "What's that, little girl full of hopes and dreams? You say you might wanna be grow up to be a game developer? No!! Go to Hell, you filthy casual-gamer fake-geek! You wanna be a nurse or an elementary school teacher? Well all right then, that's better. Go play with your dollies."
Slashdot wasn't always like this. I only started regularly reading this site a couple months ago, and man things have changed. The community used to get excited to hear about pushes for women in tech. The thoughtful people either moved on, or went silent. And now articles like these are insta-cancer for the comment section. Over on reddit, you can easily presume it's mostly early-teenagers who are afraid of losing their manly-sexy video games. But I can't imagine why would that demographic ever bother hanging out here. So it must also be a collective of grown-ass men behaving this way. If you go hunting _really_really_ hard, you can eventually see the seed of a valid point that they're trying to make, but that is all very well hidden behind shitlording, meaning that when history looks back, this sentiment is just going to look ignorant and horrible.
I'm getting real real tired of the moderate viewpoint being the largest, but also the quietest and least likely to act.
I mean, we all have bad days. We all have those stupid experiences where you get the urge to go somewhere, such as social media, and rage about something. Absolutely, being a public figure, part of his job is to consider the perception of him in society, but, I'd wait for this to be a pattern in the individual person before getting on edge about it.
It if really was an illegal fruit vendor, then I sorta wish it was easier for them to be legal fruit vendors. I don't know if things are different on the West Coast, but I rather like roadside fruit-stands. And I certainly like them a heck of a lot more than roadside panhandlers.
I'm not saying this because cable is evil, I'm saying this from a business perspective. Of _course_ the cable industry is going to try and stop this. They would be completely foolish if they didn't at least try. If they can fight this and possibly hold on to a revenue stream, or at least hold on to it a little longer, or not fight it and lose money....they're gonna fight it. They probably know they are going to lose. That's not the point.
That wouldn't work at all. Figure out the service the suspect is using, serve it with a warrant for the encrypted data. Snapshot the system so that the clone doesn't realize that time has passed. Sit on the suspect for the password just like they're doing to this dude.

Obviously, the pronoun is referring to Internal Doc's news operation, duh!

This story set off my bullshit detector within about 2 sentences.

When that happens - the only thing that can save the casino is a whale that loses big.
Or lots and lots of old people pumping their life savings into quarter slots.

A feature should be enabled if there is a demand for the feature. It isn't Ford's fault people keep buying features that they don't need.

You get irritated by random people on the Internet? LOL, your life must really suck. I'm sorry, dude. I hope you manage to get over that someday.

Because modding is so broken here these days, you don't even get to see the actual breakdown unless you view this thing at -1,-1.
