Have you ever thought how terrible of a statement "fly over country" is? Seriously stop and think for a minute about what that actually means, and what a really condescending statement it is.
Maybe the precious snowflakes in flyover country should learn that whole sticks and stones game.
They really didn't steal it. Would you have rather them just vote every person President Obama nominated down? Wasting their time and our money? Because Democrats didn't have the votes to stop that, and that's what would have happened. (Alternatively, keeping him in limbo was a way to get someone semi-moderate in case of a Clinton *shudder* win.)
Yes, yes, I would have preferred that. At least we'd have the ugly truth on video, voting down nominee after nominee.
Lol, no, the oceans could literally be stating to boil off and you'd probably have at least half of the Trump base blaming it on Democrats. They'll kill us all and they'll never face consequence for it.
Does their algorithm account for those people who get all pissy when current GPS implementations route traffic through the publicly funded streets in their neighborhood, and put in speed bumps and other obstructions?
The government is providing a public service though in these cases, so there is no expectation to turn a profit. Uber's venture capitalists and investors are eventually going to get skittish.
California and New York don't get to dictate terms to the rest of the nation.
I'm not suggesting that they should? I'm just suggesting 1 person == 1 vote in a presidential election.
I'd expect California/NY Republicans (there are tons! probably even more if they had their voice heard) Texas Democrats, and Wyoming Democrats should all have their voice heard in the goddamn election, with equal weight.:-)
I don't believe there has been an election where Democrats have won based off of these unbalanced electoral votes while losing the popular vote? Unless you want to count John Quincy Adams in 1824? Certainly nothing in my lifetime or the modern post Civil Rights Act Democratic party.
But yes, I'll cry foul exactly the same way if a Democrat manages to get elected based on electoral votes, and can't sew up a popular vote victory.
Good. Seems like a morally justifiable thing to do when you're in a state where ~466,000 people == 1 electoral vote and there is a state next door where ~257,000 people == 1 electoral vote.
Until that is resolved it's basically these are basically sham elections.
Wanted to ask this here since you seem to know a lot about responsive design.
Is there any way to set my browser to turn of all of the responsive reflowing/resizing? Like, sometimes I don't WANT the site I'm viewing to collapse into a hamburger menu of hidden options (or worse, collapse entirely into buttons pointing to the iOS and Android app stores), and I would prefer to have a scroll bar to pan around the full desktop site.
Basically I want to be able to tell my browser to stop guessing at how to to view the content, and to just view the content full size.
While I agree it's smart to lockdown your workstation in a business environment, I've worked in some where this tech will be abused to time track employees who spent 3 minutes too long in the restroom.
That said, they already ran shitty 3rd party software that tracked mouse and keystrokes so maybe nothing changes. Oh man did we lose some developers who treated it as a challenge and scripted activity (poorly) while they were afk. I suppose there are probably some more clever devs plugging along with better scripting. Though if they are that clever they would have gotten the fuck out of that work environment.
The real killer tech will be the unskippable ads that 'helpfully' pause themselves while you don't have eyeballs on them, and resume when you're back at the computer...
I'll be impressed when you write an AI that can competently play Civ5.
I'm not really sure if it's a more difficult problem than Go or not (I'd think so with all of the decisions to be made), but holy hell is the shipped AI in all Civ games useless.
Most AAA titles these days cost a heck lot more than $50 million to make. GTAV was $265 million.
But how much of that is stuff like modern pop music licensing, voice actors, *localized* voice actors, etc etc etc that doesn't really apply to a Mario game? Even a AAA Mario game of the variety that we'd all rather see must be well cheaper than GTAV.
You guys are embarassing my old-school Slashdot cred with your user numbers.
But I stand by my point somewhat. I mean considering I made this account when I was 18 in 1999, unless you were 10 year old Slashdot wunderkids, we're all getting into old-man (or woman) territory.
And there were plenty of 30-50 year old brilliant engineers and developers posting here at that time who are in prime FYGM political territory at this point.
Or, you know, people could just get paid what somebody thinks their labor is worth.
For example, would you want to pay somebody $30 an hour just to empty all of the trash cans where you work?
$15 would be a good start, indexed to inflation.;-)
Those fighting for it would do well to mark 2016 and demand whatever $15 in 2016 dollars is each year this gets dragged out. Otherwise they are only going to get the equivalent of $10.75 by the time it passes, which will dwindle away every year re-creating the same problem for the next generation.
The Slashdot alt-right crew (really 75% of the commenting userbase that has aged into that lovely target demographic) will be here in no time to tell you about how this job, like fast food or retail, isn't deserving of a living wage and only exists for 18 year old suburban kids to make pocket money off of.
And to (lol) pay their way through college with (STEM majors only deserving of a living, of course).

They are entitled to vote against me, so be it. But they shouldn't get a vote weighted 3x more than mine.

Probably terrible if they aren't letting any non-white people in

Good luck getting that through the heads of the libertarians who will stand in the way of building out the initial automation that would free us.
That totally works when I host the HD video on my home server, right?

Did anyone else read that as CmdrTaco has died, or at least as a hoax of his death?

Another big lesson of 2016 is that it's probably worth putting down the video games for a few minutes to vote against fascism. :-P

So any source of income must guarantee a living wage?
If you spend *seventy* hours a week doing it, then yeah it better damn well have.
Or, you know, people could just get paid what somebody thinks their labor is worth.
For example, would you want to pay somebody $30 an hour just to empty all of the trash cans where you work?

ROFL I took a couple minutes to edit my post and was proven right at least twice already by the time I clicked 'Submit'.

Huh. The more you know. Good on them for monetizing it somehow.
