    Peterson would play the victim card, blame the Marxist left and then let his incel followers do it.

    Sounds about right, thanks.

    The etymology of the word assassin has nothing to do with the word hashish. That's an urban myth.

    No, he isn't and you're a troll for pretending he did.

    > It's only prioritized on feeds of people who are anti-Trump

    No, no no no no.

    FB doesn't know anything about politics.

    Parent never said it did.

    All it knows is that people who read post X will more likely click on Y. That's it. That's the entire algorithm.

    That's what the parent said.

    Apparently the segfault happens if the data corruption happens to affect a pointer. If it's not a pointer, you get no segfault, but could have silent corruption.

    In fact, it was shown that simply saying it was shown does not carry a lot of weight around here.

    ... because you are permitted to ...

    It's not even clear which country's law applies. General statements like that are most certainly wrong.

    Psychopath. Sociopaths are pretty random and not result-driven in what they do. The Joker = Sociopath. Dexter = Psychopath (even tho the series claims he's a sociopath).

  12. Re:This tech is going nowhere on The Bizarre Reactor Scientists Hope Will Save Fusion Research (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    We got better at making electricity and we need less of it.

    Maybe per person consumption of energy is declining (doubtful), but the population explosion and industrialization of current third world areas will more than make up for. Every projection of world wide energy consumption shows an increase in total energy needs, not a decrease.
