Already happening. Google Beto & you get some news stories as the top results. CNBC reports on him being in the CDC, some local paper reports on his fundraiser, Fox News reports on the murder fantasy stories he wrote for CDC.
Feels more to me like left-wingers are trying to paint socialism and social democrats with the same brush in order to drag up Cold War prejudice to demonize them.
At the same time, centrist corporate Dems would love to claim that it's socialism and erase actual leftists.
It's not just the degree, it's passing your professional engineer exams & getting certified that allows you to take a protected title. Just like you can go to law school but you're not shit until you pass the bar & med school grads aren't shit until they've done a residency and passed their boards.
Community Android development is pretty much dead anyways. Google drops code for the core OS & tells hardware manufacturers what they need to implement to make their hardware work against a Google code drop.
Smart and successful people tend to think that they've got the Midas touch and everything they touch will turn to gold. Hawking talking about AI is just as far outside of his wheelhouse as Trump is when talking about politics.
OpenStack is one of those half-finished open source projects that doesn't really give you all the pieces to do the job. A lot of people think it means you can have a turnkey private cloud with zero admin overhead - like AWS without paying for it. The reality is that keeping it up and running still requires a competent ops team.
Everyone else has spent time & money drawing talent out to SF. It's the highest concentration of skilled developers you're going to find anywhere. You can't just ignore that huge talent pool.
AOL was the one that bought Time Warner back in 2000, not the other way around. The combined company has since spun off AOL but the current corporate entity is the same pile of money that started life as AOL.
In D&D, your rewards generally come from killing monsters in the form of experience points and loot.
It's a shame they moved away from the XP for treasure model. In the original editions, the game was pretty straightforward about your position as a graverobber that could easily be slaughtered by monsters.
On top of that, it turns out that OpenStack takes a *lot* of work to get up and running and a lot of work to keep it running. Sure, you can type in one command and get a single node Devstack running but going from there to a full working cloud involves large teams of engineers.
Yes. There's vast armies of young white men who are so insecure in their identities that they must rage and rage and rage at anything that reminds them that there's other sorts of people in the world.
I don't remember being Slashdot being so fucking bitter & reactionary. Nearly every post in this thread is raging over an exchange that went like "I wanna call this shit 'BRO'" - "somebody might be offended" - "Oh, I can see that, let's do something else". This isn't protesters taking down some long-standing technical standard, it's simply somebody being slightly sensitive and empathic. I don't think MSFT ever got this much hate during their heyday as a Slashdot whipping boy.
This was a free vote of everyone who wanted to register to vote. You don't have to go to WorldCon to vote. Anybody who wants to register gets a vote.
This is a pants on head ridiculous idea in the age of the internet. Ignoring botnets & scripts stuffing the ballot, you can quickly rally up large numbers of people that don't even read science fiction to vote as a bloc in order to push some agenda. It's not even a popularity contest at this point but a measure of how much social media organization a group has.
Stormfront doesn't even really want to be associated with the more extreme, violent individuals. They want to to keep a "clean" front and not be seen as promoting criminal activity.
That's right, Reddit was harboring the racists that even Stormfront wasn't going to let inside. Their posting guidelines (archive link so your browser history is safe) prohibit obscenity, racial epithets, threats of violence, general shitposting & other crap that fills Reddit's racist subs to the brim.
It's pretty simple. If you give racists a home on your site, they will start congregating on your site (because nobody else will let them post their openly racist bullshit). The thing is, they don't just stick to the explicitly racist forums, they'll start using the whole site, as any other user. When you have a sizable number of racist users, submitting links, making comments and voting to increase the visibility of content as an organized bloc (remember, all links & comments on Reddit are pushed to the top based on user votes, not admin/moderator/editor fiat), the result is that the entire site, even the "non-racist" parts gets regular doses of white supremacist propaganda.
The core demographic of Reddit, young middle-class white males, is exactly who white supremacists want to recruit. They're naive enough to buy into the "oppression of the white race" narrative that white supremacists continually spew.
To put this in perspective, it's been estimated that Reddit's racist subs currently have more traffic than Stormfront - historically the center of online white supremacist activity.
Sure. It's on the 3rd successful iteration now - there was Counter-Strike: Source in 2004 and everyone is currently playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive from 2012.

Forget the tuition money, they have a $190M endowment. That's money they can get at without asking the state for a dime.

...and crypto is really easy to hide when you declare bankruptcy or get sued for bad debts.

It's ilk like Slashdot?

She's really more of an interesting footnote than an influential figure in computer programming and is largely unknown outside of computing circles.
Her father, OTOH, is one of the best known authors in the English language.

Quake would be a better option. The original Doom had poor mouse support.
It's a very important project. If he told you the details, you'd need to sign an NDA so you don't steal his revolutionary ideas.
Selling virtual hats.
Pure. Fucking. Proffit.
More importantly, how do you stuff back doors and spyware into 10kB?
Sure. It's on the 3rd successful iteration now - there was Counter-Strike: Source in 2004 and everyone is currently playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive from 2012.
