Yet another anti American metric flame on Slashdot. Do you people ever get bored?
Do you people ever adopt the metric system?
Feels good to bash us, doesn't it?
Yes especially about stupid shit like not adopting the metric system.
And the world wonders why we're withdrawing and tending to our own affairs.
No we don't. We actively mock you for that too. The only thing we wonder about is why you are withdrawing from the very institutions you created.
How about, "wow, America, this new telescope will be great for science!" Nope, just grab the first negative thing you can think of.
Well to be fair you expect us to talk about science while shunning scientific units. Its like me typeing this post while pretending to be an english major.
Well I suppose we deserve it, with the invading of Iraq and the bombing a school bus in Yemen.
Not for those reasons you don't. Those reasons should bring a whole different type of ridicule and are completely unrelated to the subject matter at hand.
Internet search results aren't even remotely as interesting as internet searches themselves. I'd be keen to get a book on the history of Google searches and how trends vary throughout the year, news and election cycles, and geographically.
I think a hardcopy of trends.google.com would be awesome.
"Throw shit at wall; see what sticks." -Unimaginative moron with finance degree
Interesting assessment and a good example of why you are incapable of running a company.
Uber - Not a ride sharing service: A software system for short term contract work moving things from A to B Self Driving - An emerging technology trend that would make moving people from A to B using short term contractors obsolete. Uber Eats - A logical extension of Uber moving something other than people. Interestingly not an original idea either. I have sent items via a Taxi before, when you absolutely need something now and a courier takes too long.
This isn't at all throwing everything at the wall, this is what is called exploring business opportunities and it is also what separates the $7bn revenue generating Uber from it's tiny (by comparison) competitors.
Uber does not need to be the inventor of the self driving car. They only need to be a user of the self driving car.
Nope. The way the industry is going with everyone playing things as close to their chests as possible, if you didn't invent self driving technology you can bet your arse you are going to get absolutely screwed as a user of the technology. Uber isn't trying to create something to sell as much as it is Uber trying to avoid appeasing the rent seeking leeches of the future.
These aren't the cars of your childhood. They are bogged down by the EULAs of the modern technology world.
To what end? Breaking up companies is something that is normally suggested for large market behemoths who control an unstoppable monopoly. What do you hope to achieve by breaking up a car manufacturer who is being pounded by the market anyway?
Or are you hoping to kill the company and a long with it the pensions of many people as well as raising taxes on constituents to compensate for the lack of dividend payments to the government?
That's a great first principles example, but phones don't have "protection chips" as much as they have very sophisticated battery management algorithms that among other things are perfectly capable of not putting charge into the battery when not needed.
LOL. Sure go look at some of the comment sections yourself, no one gave him a pass for calling the guy a pedo. A lot of people joined in attacking the guy for a good reason, but really stop making up your own narratives.
So, you're OK with the fact that the EU was basically founded by the CIA.
If I believed it yes I would be. I would be okay if it were founded by Stalin or Mao too. Hell I just finished driving on the autobahn, a creation of Hitler's. You see who founded something is irrelevant in the face of the institution's actions.
Explain how you're suddenly on the side of the Deep State (unelected US government).
I'm not, and even if the CIA founded the EU I still wouldn't be.
I call bullshit. So you showed up for an interview and no one from the company was there? Or maybe you don't know the meaning of being at the interview stage and just "think" you got to that stage.
In the age of "free market" only one excuse is needed, "I can do it because I am free, and I am not losing financially for doing this". This is the world we live in nowadays.
Like I said, Maximum Arsehole. Me personally I'm free to do a lot of things that I don't do because I'm not an arsehole.
Depends. Did you send them information using a system that automatically filled out a database to mailmerge from? It won't surprise you at all that pretty much every company that uses a proper electronic system will actually respond to you when you didn't get the job. Good story if you're applying with a multinational. Most companies out there don't have a mailmerge source to play with.
Companies have set the standard for communication between potential employers and employees. Now it turns out they don't like their own standard.
If that's what you got from my post then you have a serious reading comprehension problem. But to simplify it for you: You are applying a different standard to the company.
Cool story but the SIM PIN is not the one that locks the data on your phone and also is not the one I was talking about.
Then it hit me - after the flight, I had kept typing in the PIN for my credit card. No wonder it didn't work since it was the completely wrong PIN.
So you did know the PIN. I'm sure after a good night's rest you would have been fine, no need to spend 10 years in jail trying to remember then, which is kind of my point. The "I forgot it" isn't really a legit excuse for something we use so often.
Just because handicapped people exist doesn't mean every parking spot needs to be twice the size. There is already a browser that has accessibility features. Not including these features in every piece of software *eva* is not "fuck handicapped people".
What next: There's people in wheelchairs, why do motorbikes even exist?

It's nice to have someplace you can return the stuff you got online
This is a mistake for Google, a company which prides itself on having absolutely no human customer interaction what so ever.
Internet search results aren't even remotely as interesting as internet searches themselves. I'd be keen to get a book on the history of Google searches and how trends vary throughout the year, news and election cycles, and geographically.

The battery was PUNCTURED during replacement. It's right there in TFS, idiot.
Fuck I enjoy triggering you FakeTimCook. You are sooooo easy. :-)
No they aren't. They are whining things that Shareholders chasing a quick buck often do. There's no formal vote on anything.
who pays for the time to set it up so that autonomous cars can navigate it?
WTF have you done with your construction sites that make them unnavigatable?

These aren't the cars of your childhood. They are bogged down by the EULAs of the modern technology world.
I think part of the problem is they'd prefer to invest in a self-driving car company that doesn't kill people.
Well they can vote with their wallet, there are plenty to choose from.
Why is there so much concern on diesel cycle engines? As heat engines go they are quite efficient devices.
Yes, very efficient at producing NOx emissions in confined living spaces for many.
If it surprises you that there's more to life than CO2 and fuel economy it's probably from lead exposure from cars when you were younger.

If it's Turds down, I'll probably never bother even putting it in my queue.
You had turd up and down before as well. Ultimately even 5 star review systems tended to bias in the way of "liked / hated"
That's a great first principles example, but phones don't have "protection chips" as much as they have very sophisticated battery management algorithms that among other things are perfectly capable of not putting charge into the battery when not needed.
It seems that keeping the iPads/iPhones plugged into an electric outlet all the time, and running all the time, has an unexpected outcome.
That may be the case, if so someone at Apple should be fired for their shithouse battery management electronics.
Moreover we're in summer...
Summer ended 2 weeks ago. The Netherlands has gone back to it's usual chilly windy gloom.
really slashdot, SI units have been published in 1960.
Oh relax, it's not like this is a story about science being done in a country which adopted SI units.
LOL. Sure go look at some of the comment sections yourself, no one gave him a pass for calling the guy a pedo. A lot of people joined in attacking the guy for a good reason, but really stop making up your own narratives.

I've had it happen 3 times in the past year. Two of those times, the prospective employer responded when I contacted them again
Oh? Why didn't they respond when you were standing in their building lobby? Or do you not know what the interview stage means?
I have.
I call bullshit. So you showed up for an interview and no one from the company was there? Or maybe you don't know the meaning of being at the interview stage and just "think" you got to that stage.

Like I said, Maximum Arsehole. Me personally I'm free to do a lot of things that I don't do because I'm not an arsehole.
And? So that's comparable to flaking on an arranged meeting?
to mailmerge an email
Depends. Did you send them information using a system that automatically filled out a database to mailmerge from? It won't surprise you at all that pretty much every company that uses a proper electronic system will actually respond to you when you didn't get the job. Good story if you're applying with a multinational. Most companies out there don't have a mailmerge source to play with.

and you don't frequently rotate your PIN numbers
I'll do you one better: My PIN is 0000. Steal my phone. You may be able to do something as nasty as read an email before it gets remote wiped.
SIM now locked
Cool story but the SIM PIN is not the one that locks the data on your phone and also is not the one I was talking about.
Then it hit me - after the flight, I had kept typing in the PIN for my credit card. No wonder it didn't work since it was the completely wrong PIN.

Because fuck handicapped people, right?
Just because handicapped people exist doesn't mean every parking spot needs to be twice the size. There is already a browser that has accessibility features. Not including these features in every piece of software *eva* is not "fuck handicapped people".
What next: There's people in wheelchairs, why do motorbikes even exist?
