Well both of those actually are perfect examples of racism. But beyond that:
*His company has been sued by the Justice department on multiple ocassions for not renting to minorities, the first time in 1973
*His comments calling illegal immigrants rapists. Even if you want them out of here, the number of them that are violent criminals is a vanishingly small percent. "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best. They're not sending you, they're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems with us. Theyâ(TM)re bringing drugs. Theyâ(TM)re bringing crime. Theyâ(TM)re rapists."
*His constant references to "the blacks", "the muslims", "the hispanics".
And yes, the anti-muslim hate is racist. Its discriminatory to a large diverse group of people- that's what racism is. Not to mention that when Americans think of muslims they do associate it with an ethnic group- Arabs.
*He's a birther, which is just a dog whistle for not wanting a black man in the white house.
*He refused to denounce the KKK. I can't blame a man for who decides to endorse him, but when directly asked he refused to denounce them.
*Other quotes by Trump:
"âoeThe only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yamakas every day.â
âoeLaziness is a trait in the blacks.... Black guys counting my money! I hate it.â (this is hearsay, but given that
*I'd list out the various sexist quotes by Trump to match, but I'm not sure slashdot has enough storage.
This is what I can find off the top of my head and with the top link in google, I'm not even digging. If you honestly think Trump isn't racist you have your head in the ground.
All build systems get ignored. In a decade and a half I've never seen anyone just use a build system, they always end up writing their own around it (or in place of it).
A poker pro doing that is doing image control. He's either trying to scare off a table of fish, or trying to egg on a few aggro hotheads. Or trying to look like an aggro to other real pros. What's this guy's angle?
And yet with all that- the Republicans actually managed to find someone an order of magnitude worse- a racist, sexist, pretend businessman with no real accomplishments in business other than multiple bankruptcies and a reality TV show. Someone who's incapable of stating a single thought through policy position and who thinks the best use of televised debate is talking about his penis. And he's about to win the nomination. It would be a comedy if we weren't living through it.
Watch as a passkey for IOT? I think IOT is way overhyped, but ignoring that- why would you need to add the watch when you already have the phone? Nobody actually has an issue pulling their phone from their pocket.
As for biometrics- there will be a health niche, but it isn't that big. Most people aren't geing to fettishize their health in that way, nor would it be mentally healthy to. You'll see a market for athletes, and a market for the very sick. But they won't need a smartphone- it will be a limited dumb device that syncs data to a real one- no screen and probably not even a watch.
No, that's the problem- it isn't. The number of people who want to wear a watch is incredibly small. You have a small number who have to due to job (nurses, for example)- but they don't need a smartwatch, they just need a hands free second hand. You have a small set who wear it as a fashion statement, but they want metals and gems and fancy that will last a long time, not an electronic screen that will last 2 years.
The number of people who actually want a smartwatch is ridiculously small- single digit percents of the population, possibly less. Everyone else is ok taking their phone out of their pocket.
Experienced developers get that much plus equity anywhere in the bay area except a startup (where you'll get more equity and less salary). Managers will start at salaries like that and go higher. That's not counting specialty skills. THe last time I worked for a big corp in SV I was making more than that as a senior dev.
Yes, I do. If we weren't, we'd just drop enough nukes to make the sands glow and be done with it. We'll accept some collateral damage, but nowhere near that amount.
And 90% of the devs won't do that, because they're targetting the Xbox. Then they'll decide they can just release it to PC too and do so without adding those settings, because they cost time and money. As proof, I show you every other shitty PC port ever made.
No it wouldn't. It would mean an email that says go ahead. Saving that would be sufficient. If you're worried beyond that, why the fuck are you working for those people?
I'd say if you're serving a website in that country, you're operating in it. Block the country if you don't, or at least don't complain when they block you. If you're serving in their country, in their language (when its not your home country's especially) you are most definitely operating in it.
THen you don't get to oeprate in the country you're ignoring. You don't get to have it both ways. Follow their laws, get them to change their laws, or leave the country. You have no right to operate in every country.
No they aren't. They use a lot less battery power, but they provide far less accurate results. But if you want to keep the location on for an extended period, you need to use network or you'll kill your battery.
Want proof? Look at your maps app- it still uses GPS. And it eats through battery- you can feel your phone heat up when using it, and you can see the battery drop like a rock when navigation is on.
You don't need the voting to be a full time job. But considering bills, figuring out the ramifications, thinking of ways to improve them so that they have the maximum desired impact with minimum side effects? That sure as hell sounds like a full time job.
If a private enterprise paid to create it, you're totally in the right. If the government paid for someone to do the research and make it, it ought to be government property and the profit from it should have been on the research.
The fact he wasn't charged doesn't mean he didn't break the law. The fact that they lost the civil lawsuit, and in fact lost it so badly that the judge rejected the initial settlement for not being big enough, proves that they did.
He was breaking the law. No hire agreements are illegal constraints of trade under a variety of antitrust acts. Not wanting to work with him based on that isn't an activist position, its not wanting to hire a criminal to a position of trust.
Its not uncommon with large investors. If you have a startup and I buy 40% of the company, its normal for me to have 40% of the board as well. A board's job is to be independent of the management, not of the owners.
As for 3 seats vs 1 seat- 3 seats gives 3 different people with different sets of views and opinions when asked for advice. It also means Carl doesn't have to show up to board meetings himself, his cronies do.
How about reducing the time between posts. Its been growing for years. At 4 minutes between posts you can't have any type of response to people commenting on your posts. I generally just don't even bother to try any more, having to write a response then wait 5 or so minutes to post it just makes me go to reddit.
Case in point- this post got delayed because I commented 2 minutes ago. Now I'm going off to play Civ. Normally this would just get the tab closed instead.

Why, does it make you aggro?
A poker pro doing that is doing image control. He's either trying to scare off a table of fish, or trying to egg on a few aggro hotheads. Or trying to look like an aggro to other real pros. What's this guy's angle?

Yeah, neither of those things will happen.

Your post made me so mad I'm going to go out and shoot someone. You murdered them by making this post.
Oh wait, that makes no moral or logical sense. You're absolutely right- just like yours doesn't.
Don't get me wrong, I thought the Iraq war was stupid then. But that doesn't make us responsible for something another group chooses to do afterwards.
Yes, I do. If we weren't, we'd just drop enough nukes to make the sands glow and be done with it. We'll accept some collateral damage, but nowhere near that amount.
Because we aren't barbarians who would kill a million innocent civilians for a pr win

Avoid tunnels isn't silly if you're a truck driver- tunnels may not be able to handle your height. And guess who the first users of GPS were?
Screen usage doesn't hurt, but its the GPS using power. Generally screen is the most expensive use of power when turned on, but GPS is in the top 4.
No they aren't. They use a lot less battery power, but they provide far less accurate results. But if you want to keep the location on for an extended period, you need to use network or you'll kill your battery.

The JS based interface is unusable. I'd rather just not participate than use that piece of shit.
