  2. I like it warm. on Can We Fight Climate Change With Carbon-Absorbing Rocks? (indiatimes.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Personally I like warm temperatures. And every single time our earth has experienced a warm period it has been a great time to be a plant or an animal.

    And for that matter we are actually in the middle of an ice-age. Yes, look it up, we are basically in an intermission smack dab in the middle of an ice-age. Heating things up taint gonna hurt a thing.

    Why a company would want to get into the self driving car angle of the rideshare market.

    We see the reports of the incredibly low profits the drivers currently make, and UBER wants to buy a bunch cars as well? The one thing that drives down profits?

  6. A "Fake Account" that has a human behind it is not a fake account. If your premise is correct then your Slashdot "fabiomb" account is by your definition "fake".

    Okay, I'm obviously a total idiot. Could you get a bit more specific example. I got the 3 ups and 2 downs part. What would be the math on the fractional component?

    I'm building myself a social site, just interested in other ideas....

    Thanks.

    I'm not interested in Google's definition of "free", i.e. censored.

  11. My wife has worked at one of the big tech firms in Silicon Valley since 1992. She has NEVER had anything like what is described happen. Despite working with literally thousands of people.

    I am not saying it couldn't happen. But, the number of times it supposedly happened to this lady put everything into the suspicious category for me.

    I worked in consulting in the Silicon Valley for 11 years myself. Never saw anything like that at the firm I was at, never even heard of it.

  12. I don't know how to do it either. And you know as well as I do 99.9% of other people don't know how to either.

    Same way I don't know how to rebuild a car motor, or weld, or perform brain surgery, or apply makeup.

    It's called job specialization and it is beneficial to us all for it allows us to excel in a particular area and sell our expertise to the highest bidder.

    Sure Manafort was an idiot for perpetrating the scam, but not knowing how to alter a PDF is not anything for which to criticize anyone.

  13. While doing Android development i find it disturbing to say the least that while debugging my extremely basic app (think hello world) I see calls to Facebook and Amazon urls in my console logs.

    WTH is up with that, I'm just a novice?

  14. Somebody is simply using the courts to try to find out dirt on their opponent.

    You can't get much more fake than having a host of debate feed one side the questions beforehand.

    Look, I'll admit I'm a rank amateur up front. But I reached 1,000,000 eyeballs during the 2016 election.

    I gave up on it after the 5,000,000th time that needlessly altered the UI on their browser. Just this last release they decided to ignore the user's MS Windows preferences per window colors.

  23. Re:Not hypocritcal on Why Google and Amazon Are Hypocrites (om.blog) · · Score: 0, Troll

    A good parallel is both Amazon and Google are (and are planning even more) suckling at the government teat.

    Case #1 in point, Amazon shopping it's new mega-whatever facility it is around the country with cities practically everywhere bending over backwards to give them tax credits.

    Case #2 in point, Google's execs regularly fly their Boeing 767 into and out of government owned Moffett Field rather than "fight the lines" at San Jose International a mere 4 or 5 more miles down the road.

    Whether it is Uber, Lyft, Google, Amazon, Comcast, or AT&T they ALL in some manner depend upon government supporting their endeavors. To think otherwise is just foolish.

    Do I personally want Net Neutrality? Absolutely not. The actions of Google at Moffett Field show me exactly what happens when big business cozies up to big government. It's not pretty. And that is exactly what will happen with Net Neutrality. Big government will absolutely pick and choose the winners and the losers.

    And guess what happens then? We all lose! Just like the people of Venezuela have.

    I much rather Google and Amazon be forced to make it in the marketplace without being given the right to be in my "leader's" ears at a moments notice without me even knowing it.

    Same goes for AT&T and Comcast, I want competition for those scarce government resources among them. Not the buddy system which government rule always devolves into at some point in time.

    While it is easy to point the finger at these employees for obviously taking the easy road out the situation speaks volumes to the organization that let them skate. Sounds like the entire place has been skating along for quite a while now.

    This is not a "retraining" issue. It is an organizational issue, then entire organization has failed to keep up.
