Thanks for your efforts, I hope they pay off. Sourceforge was a great site for many years, and when I next have something to release I'll give it a try.
It sounds like you are listening and want to make it better. GitHub isn't very responsive, e.g. people have been asking for project folders for years. Try managing 30+ repos in a single list.
I can see that SF could serve a useful role as an end user oriented site, to complement sites like GitHub that are more developer oriented. I'm just not sure about things like having two bug trackers or if it's a viable business model.
Oh, okay, you want something in support of the AC. Well, okay, the AC is right.
We have this mountain of statistical evidence. Hard data. Hundreds of studies and papers written about it. Careful analysis done over decades to understand the problem. On the other hand, we have some armchair statistician grade stuff claiming that it's all wrong. The argument against is both wrong (if you compare exactly like-for-like employees the gap is still a few percent in most industries, equivalent to multiple weeks of free work every year) and fails to address the point that many of these differences are themselves injustices, not mere biology or completely free choices.
epyT-R claims to have listened, but I don't think he did... At least, I've never heard him, or really anyone much on Slashdot, address the two points I made above. Well, some people dismiss a 4% gap as nothing, but I wouldn't do two weeks work for free.
"Listen and believe" was in reference to women reporting sexual harassment and rape and not being believed, and thus there not being any investigation and guys like Weinstein continuing to get away with it for decades. Also turns out the same thing happened with a lot of children abused in "care".
It was never used in relation to the gender pay gap, because there is clear, hard data to support that and it's widely accepted, hence articles like this one and efforts by governments to tackle the issue.
I don't know why it was brought into this discussion because it isn't really relevant to it, as you say. I was merely pointing out that it did in fact have the desired affect, and that the claims being made in fact turned out to be mostly true. You should ask c6gunner why he brought it up.
If someone is not doing a reasonable amount of work then that's grounds for disciplinary action. Simply paying them 20% for 80% less work doesn't seem like a very good solution.
Be vigilant. In China they just block stuff they can't decrypt. You can get around it, but then you make yourself a target. People go to jail for using VPNs.
Don't say it couldn't happen here. China is more like the UK than I am comfortable with.
Unfortunately it seems to be a vital component of Brain Force Plus, which I consume in industrial qualities. That's why I'm, like, a genus and very stable.
I've written a formal request for compensation to Intel. I have three older CPUs (an i7 2700k, an i7 3000 series and a Xeon) which will all be affected badly by this.
Since I had to waste time fixing their ME bugs with a patch as well I'm billing them for that time too.
I've had enough of this crap from Intel. Pay up or see you in small claims court.
I wonder if it's more to do with then having the skills to be successful at suicide. I'm not saying it's all because of that, but for example the majority of the difference between male and female suicide rates is mostly due to men picking more reliable methods.
In any case, military veterans should get more help.
Given that he says this is a reaction to a course he had to take, wouldn't it make sense to send it to the people who made him take it or the people who designed the course? Even to his boss.
According to his own account, the course told him not to say stuff like that... So he decided to say stuff like that on a widely distributed mailing list.
That's the idea, there isn't any discrimination because everyone gets paid the same amount for the same job.
That has helped, but the other issue is that women often find it hard to get the better paid jobs for other reasons, or end up doing basically the same work but with a different job title.
Um... I didn't say any of that stuff, no. This is why it's impossible to have a discussion with you; it doesn't matter what I say, you just imagine some nonsense and expect me to defend it.
In the interview he did with a certain YouTuber he said that he went to a "diversity training" session, disagreed with some of what was said and so wrote the memory and posted it to the mailing list. He doesn't say that his opinion was solicited directly.
Yes, if they designed in an unsuitable battery then they should redesign the phone to correct the problem and then offer free repairs/replacements.
If the phone was 0.02mm thicker they could use a battery with a bigger cathode, and avoid this issue entirely. Alternatively they could talk to battery manufactures and find a clever way to increase the cathode size without altering the phone. It might be possible with newer chemistry or something.
Again, the only other manufacturer that had this issue was Google with the Nexus 6P, and they replaced every affected device.
LiPo batteries come in various shapes and sizes. One of the main differences is the size of the cathode. The larger it is the more current that the battery can supply. Apple selected a battery design with a smaller cathode than required, presumably to save space and make their phones a fraction of a millimetre thinner.
Yeah, it was a mistake to publish it on a widely distributed mailing list. That can be done later after trying it out in a place less likely to get him fired.
It really isn't, at least not in large organizations. They usually have standard salary levels for a particular job type, and might have some flexibility if it can be justified but will generally just say "sorry, that experience is not relevant to this job" and you can either accept that you are over-qualified for the role or take the lower salary.
To handle competition they have to raise the salary for everyone doing that job already.
This makes pay much more fair and transparent, at the expense of some people feeling that they are underpaid. Such people often become contractors where they can negotiate their rate.
In the EU the minimum warranty period is 2 years, although some countries go even further.
Obviously batteries are consumable items, but the way the law usually looks at this is that if the battery is cheap it's okay for the consumer to replace it regularly. If it's really expensive like iPhone batteries are, requiring a special service appointment and considerable cost to get replaced, it needs to last a reasonably long time, like considerably more than the warranty period which is the absolute minimum.
So even if Apple argues that the battery is consumable, the speed with which it died (my girlfriend's iPhone 6 was about a year old when it started to go from 50% to 2% instantly or randomly crash) they are still on the hook for it.
Slashdot Mirror
Can I make a request? Could you do a Q/A about Slashdot and your plans for it? Moderation in particular is in need of attention.

I don't get pop ups, FWIW.

All Chrome add ons are open source. Just download the file, rename to dot zip and browse the source.
Human companies won't tank, they will just pay their CEO and shareholders a little less.

You said it's not what I said, then repeated what I said as your alternative theory...
I... I mean... What?!
Here's a real world example of the performance loss from the patch:

Looks like about 60% for that server workload. My guess is that Microsoft made it optional on server versions of Windows after seeing similar numbers.

Except that Weinstein guy, right? And all the other ones.
Now what?
Where is this thing about a question coming from?
