These Google employees make me laugh. They really think Google is going to give up untold millions of dollars just because China requires filtered search results that adhere to the Politburo's censorship?
Me-thinks all you people need to get out and vote if you really want to create change where US companies do not do business with Totalitarian regimes and support censorship and servitude.
Me thinks the point of the 100 Percent Renewable Energy, Net-Zero Emissions bill is not to be realistic, but to just introduce legislation that is written in the permanent record and officially begin to turn the tide against what has become a very environmentally destructive administration and party, and towards the future.
Slack has attracted myriad corporations and other entities with their claim that they only make money on subscriptions; which for now is true, but will be untrue once Slack IPO is completed, and the problem of ever increasing profits begins.
The real reason Slack was created was for data mining, I guarantee it.
Google began life before IPO with the moniker Do No Evil - that disappeared didn't it?
Yep totally - and here we are with yet another example of special interest money being poured into politics.
Glass bottle recycling in California at least, I don't know about elsewhere, was done away with by special interest money that was poured into politics in order to change the laws and decree that washing and sanitizing glass bottles for reuse was not safe.
Fools - chasing jobs that will be replaced by AI before their work careers are probably 1/2 over. Go back to Blue Collar young bloods; paid apprenticeships and a virtually unlimited future in plumbing and electrical contracting; these industries can't find enough qualified people.
Much of this all comes down to two basic problems, lack of humanity and lack of respect; on both sides. It is a vicious circle that will never end unless everyone, from CEOs down, regain empathy and humanity for all persons. Yeah - I'm a dreamer, just IMAGINE.
I was in DC and Crystal City in October - the construction topped with trying to use the maps for live guidance proved frustrating. Driving in circles, heading down a long highway with no offramp when directed the wrong way, it was incredible how bad the mapping directions were...
These monthly rentals are such a scam - and a cha-ching for the cable companies. When we installed voip TWC (Now Spectrum) provided an upgraded cable modem to replace the old Motorola we'd been using for years. I don't know what happened to the Motorola Cable Modem (which was rented from TWC) but I assumed the technician took it with him. A couple of years later we have to move, and TWC claims we owe them $125 for the cable modem we never returned. They are billing us $125 for something that costed around $60 at Best Buy - and not only that, we'd rented it for so long I realized we more than paid for it. But TWC were total a$$holes about it and we had to pay. Bunch of crooks - I am so for creating community internet and destroying these turds business...
The US music industry and commercial radio sucks - the sh*t that is called music these days, with minor exceptions found here and there in various genres, is a far cry from the days of old when real talent created really good music. It's all POP and one-hit-wonders now - regardless of genre
You want to hear really good music? Try using the BBC iPlayer APP - or travel overseas - just returned from a trip to Greece - what a nice change to hear bitchin' new sounds every place I went instead of Ke$ha, J-L(ame)O and the rest... Oh man - I wish Tool would release some new music.
Mod this up - I was just going to post the same thing...
These numbers always lie; because they never count in the people who have given up on looking for a job and from what I've read that totals in the millions too.
I had a young PhD friend that was getting backing for an app he was creating based on what he knew about people from his field of study, the brain and computer science. We had a long discussion about security and data, and quite frankly he didn't like what I had to say, even jokingly calling me a Luddite which stung a bit. This was several years ago, now all of a sudden the concerns I and others like Bruce Schneier were bringing up years ago are finally front page news.
Look at the opportunity out there and become skilled at something completely different. There's a crapload to be made in many skilled trades now that Baby Boomers are retiring out. Some trades like plumbing and electrician can't find enough people, and the opportunity to become very successful is wide open. Be a long time before robots take the job of a plummer, electrician and other skilled laborer.
As the adage goes, you only cheat yourself. Pretty sure you won't last very long in an occupation that requires proven subject knowledge, so why did you spend that money on getting a fake education? Yeah smart move.
I was such a Pollyanna back then, with my Utopian vision of how people were going to use the Internet; to share and exchange new ideas and information and further human understanding; to have intellectual exchanges with people on the other side of the world I'd never met...:P
Sprint network and business sucks - I left them long ago for T-Mobile, which offers so much more and such better service, including true global phone and data connectivity which is included in most post pay plans. I am really skeptical of the benefit of this merger for current T-Mobile customers considering Sprint will ultimately be the primary stakeholder and voting block.:(
Incredible mind? Hardly, if Zuck's mind was incredible he'd be running something like Space X; it for certain did not take and incredible mind to code the underlying mechanisms of Facebook, though it did take incredible luck and timing for it to catch on like it has where so many others failed.
If Zuck had an incredible mind he would have baked abuse prevention into the system from the get-go, his underlying idea of Facebook from the beginning is that nothing should be private; yeah really incredible thinking there...
This is the mindset of most working in law enforcement - they should be able to do as they please.
I perform forensic exams from time to time, and have attended conferences etc.; the main problem I have with most of these people is their sense of entitlement; that they are always the good guys. Of course we all know that is incorrect.
I for one support strong encryption everywhere - privacy is paramount for freedom, and this trumps any notion of anything else - yes I am thinking of the children!
Trump and his cabinet are science deniers, so the input of mathematicians and other scientists means nothing to them; surely this will be implemented by one of Trump's cronies and he'll receive a kick back; doesn't matter if it works or causes other people headaches. Trump cares for nothing but his bottom line.
Yep - Perl is C for lazy programmers - well maybe not lazy, but programmers that don't want to have to deal with allocating and freeing memory, which is the bane of C and where many of the security problems arise. The other beautiful thing about Perl is no matter how you write your code, the interpreter compiles it into the most efficient form, just like C.
I think hate for Perl stems from the scripters who try to show off their Perl skills, writing the most concise code which is exasperatingly confusing and serves absolutely no purpose. Whether you write verbose code which takes many lines to do the same thing as concise and hard to understand code, at run time they perform exactly the same.
Perl coders have only themselves to blame for the hate; thousands of lines of stupid hard to read code is a nightmare for the person that comes along months or years later and has to work on your code. Stop it damn it, stop it!!!!!
I love how I am constantly on the cutting edge of thought around here, but trolls always mod me down or make stupid comments like yours
Let's see, what was I saying, oh yeah, repeated in a new post quoting TechCrunch, "Forget about your phone for a minute, look around and talk with people next to you." https://tech.slashdot.org/stor...
Interesting that a government is having to go to these drastic lengths to try and get people to live in the real world.
I think it's kind of interesting that Millennials and other constant users of smart phones, especially singles, who walk around all day looking at a screen, complain that they can't meet any decent people, when in fact they likely pass decent and interesting people all the time, but nobody is able to catch anyone's eye anymore, so potential connections are missed. What a shame. Instead they rely on dating apps where as we know, everyone exaggerates, poses, lies, whatever. A really really odd way to live, giving up the real world for that which is completely fake.
David's wife recognized the writing; only after an FBI profiler and a scientist in the budding field did all the grunt work and learned to tie all the bits of evidence together, letters, etc.; then decided to publish the manifesto. They knew who it was through the same techniques, they only needed a name.

Now mod me 5 insightful please, the original reply to my post which is completely incorrect was modded 4 insightful - friggin'
They didn't mention stylometry because it wasn't invented yet, they were actively inventing it at the moment.

Shoot I wish my posts would be modded up insightful as they deserve, see my previous post where a guy was modded insightful for the incorrect reply...
