  1. And help the tech giants defy the deep state!

  2. Anti-aging technology is not encouraged here. Slashdot posts must only promote eugenics and genocide.

  3. Re:Catch the tief! Er ... the geezer! on Commentary On How To Make Novice Programmers More Professional (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    I'm so confused.

    I keep hearing startups refuse to consider older developers, but then I hear there is more opportunity for them there.

    I really have no idea, and any advice for how to navigate age is welcome. I have 2 .NET devs at my church over 50 who no one will hire.

    "Proof" is a word that has no basis in anything outside math.

    I'm saying your claims are only true for a slim exception of cases, which will always exist with any generalization as with this case and the racist Democrats.

    They probably lost it because something weird showed up in the video feed and NASA cut the video link.

    Well, that was in the South, which was run by the democrats back then.

    You know, the same democrats who seceded from the country because they wanted to keep their slavery.

    The only democrat I know from that era who wan't a racist was JFK who, you know, believed in limited government, limited taxes and (to come full circle) started the Apollo program.

  9. moon success inversely proprtional to space progs on China Developing Manned Space Mission To the Moon · · Score: 0

    The more space programs the less likely a human is to ever set foot on the moon again.

    In other words, the more people are talking about it the less anyone is actually doing it.

    The 60's were an unusual time where people believed in Jesus, did what he told them to do, worked as if they were motivated, and cared about each other. When that eroded the government failed to replace it with anything that made any kind of difference.

    Anyway, I'm not sure what good a space program will ever do any ordinary person, so I say can it and let people pocket their tax money.

    That's a quick way to get on a bunch of government watch lists.

    The deep government has no problem charging you higher tax rates based on your opinions.

  11. It's the economy, stupid! on Americans Are Having Less Sex Than 20 Years Ago, Study Finds (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    20 years ago the president and speak of the house were focused on the economy and "the end of welfare as we know it".

    Clinton was voted the 2nd best president of the 20th century in 1999 (only after Ronald Reagan), extending in some ways the Reagan administration.

    After 9/11 investors have been afraid about another terrorist attack plunging the markets, and it doesn't help that W and Obama have vastly expanded the government and regulatory powers.

    People don't have sex as much when it is harder to find money. Studies show out of work husbands have less sex than those with jobs. When the economy is bear skirt lengths increase (they vastly increased after the 29' crash).

  12. Only deep government is allowed to do this on Federal Criminal Probe Being Opened Into WikiLeaks' Publication of CIA Documents (cnn.com) · · Score: 0

    Only deep government is allowed to leak documents, and it has to be something that helps the last administration.

    If it's something that just exposes government over reach or something small like that, it's a security problem.

  13. The Chicago Fire Department -in order to avoid allegations of racism- instituted a written test to determine hiring for the position of Fire Chief. Double blind and all that.

    The applicants who passed the test were less likely to be of certain ethnicities so the entire test was ruled to be discriminatory.

  14. Re:But lets raise minimum wage! -'earn'? on More Fast Food Restaurants Are Now Automating (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    You could use Aristotle's function argument to say the can opener "earns" its place in your kitchen drawer because it completes its actions.

    Are your qualms with invisible hands (Sartre and Nietchze both accepted freedom/responsibility as athiests) a reflection of your fear that people will start talking about Jesus?

  16. Re:merge typescript into ES8 on Douglas Crockford Envisions A Post-JavaScript World (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Sounds viable, but then I wonder why typescript isn't getting adopted.

    I see several companies and frameworks (e.g. Angular 2.0) using typescript, but then devs and/or companies avoid those frameworks.

  17. Re:evolution not revolution on Douglas Crockford Envisions A Post-JavaScript World (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    This article seems to presuppose TypeScript and CoffeeScript are not getting adopted.

    Which seems sort of true to me.

    I wonder why? And if so, are we stuck with JavaScript?

  18. As a guy who wants to be protected by all the tax dollars we are putting into defense (and some knowledge about missile defense):

    I would REALLY rather hit one of those things with SOMETHING other than a virus or a bug.

    This is like trying to "protect" yourself from an invasion by having the street signs point in false directions once an invasion happens.

    Nice, but not enough.

    Hmm ... interesting. Sounds like several things could be depicted that way (e.g. "capitalism").

    Sometimes I feel like I'm going through the garbage here, but occasionally there are some nice morsels.

  21. Allow me to borrow a phrase from the media: "distinctions without a difference."

    Not Donny. Not aware of who that is. Perhaps a woosh moment on me.

  25. failed premise not catching on on 'Robots Won't Just Take Our Jobs -- They'll Make the Rich Even Richer' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    The "we can't innovate because the rich get first dibs" argument is not sailing with the public.

    Wealth inequality was held as a top election issue by around 15% of voters. That means a lot of Democrats don't care.

    Wealth inequality gets worse the more you start monkeying around with the market. It got worse under W, but no where near as bad as under Obama.

    I'd RATHER have wealth inequality because then the people who aren't contributing anything or doing menial work of limited value (pealing potatoes) get LESS than what people are finding new ways to provide for things people are actually willing to pay for.
