I'm not seeing it, but is there a way, beyond limiting posts to 0 or above, to remove this from my view of this page? It's obviously quite annoying and obviously meant to be such.
If there is no way to do this then come on Slashdot give me a way to hide this crap.
Those sorry Google people are using US Government owned Moffitt Field in Mountain View CA as their own personal playground.
We have quite a population of Burrowing Owls, an endangered species, on that facility.
Sergei Brin could care less that his personal 767 is disturbing those owls every time he makes a takeoff or landing at that facility. Not to mention how many owls the engines in that aircraft have chewed into coyote fodder.
Irritates the crap out of me that Google is probably building this "balloon" in MY hangar at Moffitt.
When they changed, unnecessarily mind you, the interface to their browser for about the millionth time. Just right when I was completely comfortable with the reload button being in the Nth spot and the Cancel button being in the Nth+1 spot they decided to move it all to the other side or just plain hide it from me.
Which meant I had to one figure out where things went to. Second, had to try to get used to the new button locations.
The Thunderbird project has a very bad habit of doing the same thing as well.
Only use Firefox now for compatibility testing. Otherwise it is just a memory hog that I remember as being run by people who do not have any appreciation for how they really upset people's workflow when they get a wild hair and feel the need to have all of the furniture on the other side of the room.
While I am sure it's a thrill to someone to come up with their own "computer language" it is pretty much a pointless exercise.
Let's be honest, pretty much all computer languages since the first one, and especially the more recent ones, last 20 years are merely repeats of the same stuff.
Same loops, same if statements, same function calls, same everything.
Yes, we may have new libraries (which are not the language), for say accessing a new gadget, but the basic language constructs are pretty much all the same. Just with different syntax.
Reading the commentary here it is obvious that biometrics is a mess. Some think it's a user ID, others a password, and the list goes on.
If it is so confusing here just imagine how bad it would be for the millions of implementers out there who can't even grasp the concept of going beyond a cleartext version of a password in a database.
What idiot in their right mind would think Russia would not attempt to impact our elections. Even if it were just for kicks and giggles.
So, of course Russia "hacked" our elections. But, did they change a single solitary vote? Did they hack into any ballot machines and change the totals?
Getting your hair raised over Russians meddling in our elections is a bit much while you do not utter a peep when Hillary Clinton brags about overthrowing Qaddafi, Obama attempts to overthrow Assad, Obama meddles in Israeli elections, Obama spies on Merkel, and Obama spied on journalists and hacked their computers.
The only Russians who actually and truly impacted our elections were those Russians in the United States who actually cast votes.
The reason Donald Trump was elected was because Middle America was fed up. And they directed that anger at Hillary Clinton who was the epitome of "politics as usual."
If the students refuse to eat it? Would it not be better for educating students if they were neither experiencing growling stomachs or suffering from food comas?
Being on the "I'd rather starve" end of the spectrum is not desirable from a development and learning standpoint.
I can see downloading for research purposes as being ok. And I can see developing the algorithms as being ok. I can even see uploading the algorithms as being ok.
Now all of the above is predicated on not violating the terms the "researcher" agreed to if/when she signed up for the account he used. Assuming an account was required.
But uploading the photos taken somewhere else for public consumption is just wrong.
Abuse of privileges is how we get to the point we find ourselves many times in society. This breech of the public's confidence is just another stab in the back to a society that values respect.

Why the hell would I want to do that?
I'm marinating my IPad in chocolate sauce as we speak and plan on frying it in bacon grease tomorrow so that I can devour as many juicy photons being emitted as possible.

I hate it when people make crap up.
Before their database of face hashes is hacked by nefarious jerks who will then sell it to the highest bidder?
While not necessarily technically 100% accurate, you get the drift....
Putin takes a page from Trump's book and trolls .... name your own favorite set of blathering idiots ....
> The jobs crisis we have in the U.S. is that we don't have enough workers,
We have PLENTY! I know three people who have engineering degrees who cannot find a decent job in the Silicon Valley.
What we actually have is too many CEOs who will not hire perfectly capable Americans.
Ok,

Since when did /. become politics everyday?
A stock broker I should know. A life insurance salesman I should know. A long lost relative who is willing to leave me $4,000,000 I should know.
Spare me Zuckerburg. i'll decide who I want to know, not your marketing machine.
That would buy a LOT of ATC headcount.
Facebook is specifically pushing clickbait in it's trending articles. Hypocrites, all of them!
That Jack Sparrow has been dispatched and will resolve the issue after a brief, but tumultuous, fight ensues.

Amateurish. Nothing to see here. Move along.
As often as everything breaks down do you really want to submit yourself to this?
The range of commentary on this story is quite extraordinary. Making for some really good reading.
It appears the liberals are scattered across a wide gamut of emotion.
It was lowly people like myself who were fed up with the status quo in Washington, DC. And we busted a gut to make it happen.
If the students refuse to eat it? Would it not be better for educating students if they were neither experiencing growling stomachs or suffering from food comas?

Food for thought.
I give it my card, it gives me cash, and then hands my card back to me.
It's called an ATM.
Didn't you say the same thing, different year referenced, in 1995.
Been hearing this refrain since at least that year. It's been 27 years now and that "dream" is at best partially implemented.
So, you have set a pretty ambitious schedule, 13 years, given 27 years hasn't been enough to date.

I beg to differ. Ink pens have become substantially better in the last half-century.
