  1. Re:My New Font Is Called Ophidian Lubrica on Researchers Create 'Sans Forgetica,' a Memory-Boosting Font (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Darn snobbery. But at least the limit is only around 1800 glyphs for South Koreans.

    Most Japanese limit themselves to Joyo kanji which is only just over 2000 to be considered literate. A couple extra hundred isn't that much more to learn by the time you're 17-18. Very few ever go beyond that let alone to get level 1 in Kanji Kentei which requires knowing over 6000 kanji plus obscure readings, etc.

  2. 44,000 managers? Da fuq?!!

  3. Because there's a huge difference between the two? I can have ISP service and avoid using these platforms, but I can't access anything on the Internet without an ISP. If you can't see how the two are not even remotely comparable then you must be brain damaged or an industry shill. One of them is literally the gatekeeper to access anything on the Internet which grants them far more power than any of these platforms have.

    What are you talking about?

    I quoted what Inwas talking about:

    Just go look at any major "oil" company website - I bet your bottom dollar their renewable investments are prominently displayed or easy to find.. bragged about for cred really.

    Nowhere on Exxon Mobil’s page was any of this mentioned.

    One of the first links, "Energy and Carbon Summary", talks about their research and investment in renewables.

    Bullshit. You clearly didn’t actually read that report. The report was mostly about natural gas. The only thing close to them investing in renewables was some paragraph about making petroleum lubricants for wind turbines.

    I went to http://corporate.exxonmobil.co... and there was not a single mention about investments in renewables.

    Yes, there is no such rule in Europe that the mere presence of a any vowel at the end of the name means it's a female name.

  11. Re:Closed ecosystem on Amazon's Alexa is Getting Clobbered (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    No it doesn't. You may be incorrectly thinking of a rule like changing O to A or adding an A at the end of a name in languages like Spanish makes it female (Antonio->Antonia for example), but the mere presence of a vowel does not make a name female.

    Sourceforge fucked over itself by becoming an ad-infested, malware-peddling shithole. It’s cute that the people running it still think anyone cares.

  18. Update: Our sister site, SourceForge, has weighed in.

    Hey cool. The Digg of source code repositories still thinks it’s relevant.

    So you think everyone is always running the latest versions of all software? Are you naive or just intentionally dense?

  20. Because lots of people run old versions of software?

  21. There was also no subtlety in Google firing this person. Strange how none of you Damore cry babies ever criticize Google for that firing. Because I’m sure the lack of outrage has nothing to do with this other person’s political views.

    Who decides what gets published and what gets buried?

    Twitter. It’s their site and their rules. You’re perfectly free not to go there if you disagree. You may have a Consitutional right to free speech in the US, but no one is obligated to listen to you.

  24. Or these trolls could just grow up and stop acting like assholes and then maybe no one would want to block them? I know, that’s just crazy talk... How dare anyone not want to be harassed and trolled online for no good reason...

  25. Forget the sarcasm tag?
