Your own link is to a "fact check" article about the calls to abolish ICE, which makes it clear that they are not calling for open borders but rather for an end to an organization that has become associated with Trump's immigration policies and its replacement with something else. Well, the other reason is that Homeland Security thinks that ICE is hindering their investigations.
How awful, being tolerant of people's sexual identities even when they seem strange to you. Wouldn't it be better if people felt too ashamed to be honest about such things?/sarcasm
It's much easier to control the training data for an AI than it is for a human. Maybe the hiring manager has been reading Slashdot and picked up a slight bias against people who did a Gender Studies course along side their major subject.
Another advantage over satellites is that it can land, be repaired or upgraded, and take off again at very low cost. Even when the Space Shuttle was flying, fixing stuff in-orbit is a right pain in the arse.
1. This will only be available to the wealthy, whose children already have a huge advantage in life and are now going to be super healthy, super intelligent and maybe even super sociopathic.
2. Do we trust this guy to get it right? Making edits to someone who potentially has to live with them for 80+ years is something you do very carefully and with a great deal of oversight.
I never hear about the diversity problem in nursing or preschool school teachers where men are effectively absent from the workforce, or how women want diversity in construction jobs or automotive repair.
This is just more of the stupidity that you can successfully hire (and manage) people without seeing them as people.
TFS says it's the exact opposite. By eliminating biases it considers people's actual skills, rather than lumping them into groups and making assumptions based on things as trivial as their name or gender.
For example, certain universities carry prestige. A candidate who went to Oxford or Harvard or Tokyo instantly looks better than one who has some low ranked institution on their CV. But that doesn't necessarily mean they don't have the skills or talent required.
If it had a barcode scanner than could tell you what was in the fridge that would be useful. Could keep track of stuff you need to buy, and even do some simple projections to make sure you never run out of stuff.
Maybe it could send you a reminder about the yogurt that has been in the back for 5 months too.
But no, that would be too useful. Let's have a useless web browser and the world's dumbest voice assistant instead.
It's interesting that people are still buying the NES Classic and SNES Classic, even though they could download these ROMs for free. Seems that people are willing to pay for convenience and things like proper controllers and playing on their TV.
I'm sure a copyright lawyer would claim that Nintendo lost billions to ROM piracy anyway, but as ever the real solution is to provide a legal, affordable alternative. And to be fair to Nintendo, they have been pretty good about getting even obscure games on to their virtual console.
I first got some prescription glasses with blue light filter in Japan maybe a decade ago, and now I see they are becoming available in Europe.
They do rose tint everything but it's subtle. My most recent pair I didn't bother, I just set my monitor calibration to be off-white. I'd say the rose tented glasses work better though, I'll get some next time.
Part of the reluctance to move to Linux is the lack of good developer tools.
Someone probably spewed coffee when they read that, but it's true. On Windows you can grab Visual Studio and build a GUI in WPF with a backend database incredibly easily. In C# there is a library for everything, but of course even if they work under Mono they won't have been tested properly. Need cloud? A couple of clicks and you are running on Azure.
Sure, Linux is great if you want to write C++ or Python and don't mind manually managing your Qt GUI and manually connecting your database to it. From a business perspective this makes no sense. They have to hire more expensive developers to do the same job more slowly.
It's easy to laugh at a deranged baboon screaming "developers developers developers" on stage, but the Microsoft development ecosystem is actually pretty good and not just because of Windows' popularity.
Nothing, same as if you have a postal vote or they demand you take a photo of the ballot paper with your phone.
Another option would be not keeping the receipt, but depositing it in a secure box like a ballot paper. You lose the ability to check it for yourself unless you can memorize the ID number, but it fixes your problem. Take your pick which one you prefer.
It doesn't have to be perfect, just not worse than what we currently have.
Do you really believe that the US couldn't tell an RTG from a warhead? Do you think they wouldn't notice the reentry vehicle or the huge unexplained mass of its engines and fuel and atmospheric shield?
The machine prints off the cast vote and a Blockchain transaction ID. The voter checks the print out has the correct candidate listed. Later the ID can be checked to make sure the transaction matches.
There could be duplicate copies made (on carbon paper) and a random sample checked.

Congratulations, you debunked yourself.

Silicon valley is a strange place.
On the one hand engineers and can pick and choose. It's so bad that the big tech companies illegally colluded with a no-poaching agreement.
Oh the other, unless you are Indian or a trans lesbian black woman it's impossible to get hired because of all the H1Bs and SJWs.
You mean like thinking that calling women "harpies with daddy issues" is a bad idea?
You might be on to something there.
No they haven't. They have been calling for fairer, more humane immigration and fewer dubious wars based on lies and corporate interests.
Rather than lying about your opponents why not put forward your own ideas? What do you actually want to happen?
I didn't RTFA but I'm gonna guess it has something to do with the wall and children in cages.
The idea that they are raging SJWs who object to all immigration control is just silly. Surely you don't actually believe that.
Facebook is more like McDonald's.

There are two main objections.
1. This will only be available to the wealthy, whose children already have a huge advantage in life and are now going to be super healthy, super intelligent and maybe even super sociopathic.
2. Do we trust this guy to get it right? Making edits to someone who potentially has to live with them for 80+ years is something you do very carefully and with a great deal of oversight.
It goes back way further than that. One of the major motivations for the US joining WW2 was the economic opportunity it presented.

Domino is a strange name for software, being that dominoes are associated with falling over.

Also, blue light is linked to disruption of sleep.
I wish Slashdot had a dark theme.

Samsung phones are easy to unlock and install your own OS. There are plenty of options if you want to run something like Lineage or roll your own OS.

You can't hide stuff up there.
Bollocks. You can't hide nukes in orbit. The US already has anti-sat weapons too.
This would be a major escalation of it happened.
