YouTube on some Amazon gadget or Amazon selling some Google toy is two kids petty bickering I can easily ignore.
Net neutrality is something that WILL affect me, no matter how hard I try to ignore it being eliminated.
This smells of a rather desperate attempt to shill, after all sensible arguments have been gone for a long, long time, so what's left is whataboutism and deflection.
Every time a manager says that he plans to switch to agile development, it usually means that he thinks he finally found a way to not have to know what to do and can change the specs on a whim and you have to be agile enough to contort yourself into the mess.
The core of the problem is not that you cannot volunteer to take a leave. What is required is mandatory 50:50 split. Else you will in most constellations end up with the woman taking the longer share and true equality is impossible because it is STILL preferable for the employer to employ a man because he is more likely to be available and not on leave.
I predict that French schools will have a serious lack of empty toilets in the foreseeable future. And for a change, it's not because of the quality of the cafeteria lunch.
Oh, did I mention that of course those fileshares are R/W globally with confidential financial data being stored in them for ease of transfer in the department (while sharing them with the rest of the company... if you're lucky, sharing it ONLY with the rest of the company, that is)?
Or it can screw everything up because you have to "charge" for more server space and now have a server sitting there empty and idle while people start doing (non-backuped) fileshares on their desktops because their department heads don't want to "pay" for precious server space, with mission critical files also being stored in (non-backuped) areas of the desktop since the "documents" folder would be sync'ed with the server and thus consume space they'd have to "pay" for.
That's at least retaining the talent. Far more interesting and exciting for the whole staff is when the average tenure of an IT worker is about 3-4 months, so that he goes when he finally has a clue what's going on. And usually before he could train anyone they're hiring as replacement.
If I can get you to sign that you won't be paid before it's implemented, rest assured I will not only request it but also make it non-negotiable if I notice that you're too dumb to know.
UFOs? Yes. People see things they can't identify, they're flying, thus Unidentified Flying Objects. Most of the time, you'll eventually get a pretty good explanation for them. What's left usually happens near weapon testing sites where governments try out their new toys. And why would governments act strange and keep the alien myth alive? Because it's better to send you on a wild goose chase for aliens and flying saucers, that way you don't want to investigate their much more mundane new stealth bomber.
There is very little reason to believe it's aliens. For a very simple reason: You want to tell me that these people (or whatever they are) are capable of FTL travel, come here to this rather insignificant marble in a godforsaken corner of a nondescript galaxy... and then crash land because they can't brake in time? Please.
Or hire a few terrorists to crash a plane or two into their buildings. Just think of the PR boost that could get them. Hell, I don't give a shit about their imaginary buddy but... enemy of my enemy and all that.
Maybe you live in a country where there is actually a competition between ISPs going on. For many US people, there is no competitor to switch to. The joke is that the country that prides itself to be the pinnacle of the capitalist economy has more ISP monopolies than even China.
So to sum it up, if your pockets are deep enough, you can ensure no competition will arise. Throw money at ISPs and ensure that they put you on the fast lane while your competitor will look like your modem just turned into a 33.6kbit.
Nah. Slashdot is controlled by people who need clicks. And anything that ruffles some feathers and creates clicks is great. Trump, Global Warming, Gender Wars...

Split evenly with your wife?

Obviously someone who learned something new.
Really? Where do French students fuck?
Oh please, not the story about alien anal probes, that's so fake!
I actually agree with this batch of feminists on something? A new surprise every day...

Seriously. DO NOT go there!

Yes, change happens. And the later you want it, the more it will cost you. Suck it up and deal with it.
Found the guy Billy Gates was talking about.
I think you just gave the material for about 5-10 episodes of a hilarious sitcom.

They have occurred. People have watched something flying and they were unable to identify what it was. So they saw an Unidentified Flying Object.
Oh, you mean that people "saw aliens"? No, that never occurred.
Judging from the US TV rules, I learned that tits are not for little kids.

Not at all.

History is going to be rewritten, like it or not. New term is herstory.
So... the #metoo movement is basically a bragging club? Is that what you're trying to tell us?
