It's a witch hunt for the sake of hunting witches - it gives them a chance to give others their opinion. No one really cares about women, not even women. I feel like if there was a rich white guy that went on television and openly talked about abusing power over women, no one would say anything. They might even vote him into the position of US president.
I'm a white male, and I fully understand that women rule the universe. However, women in the US have traded in their own sense of worth, for whatever today's rich guy wants them to live up to. In short, although women DO rule the world, they're leading in the way that men want: with their bodies, rather than with their hearts. But they would just laugh at idiots like me saying this crap. They would rather stand around looking pretty, waiting for Trump to come grab their pussy, so they can feel important.
Well put, all of it. I'd only add that the concept that says, 'you're either left or right', is false. I'm far from a Trump-supporter, but I do agree with some of his views, and look forward to some of the things that he's trying to do, coming to fruition.
I think the crux here is that lawyers can be replaced by computers. Anytime someone brings this up, I always ask, "Who's going to program these computers? Lawyers??"
You have a good point. But what if, rather than facebook, let's use youtube instead. Why not raid the offices of youtube?
And you have misunderstood my point. I don't think that anyone's offices should be raided because of free speech, but I do find it odd that if you're a huge empire, you won't get raided, regardless of what your servers allow/disallow. And this is because the government is more or less allowing these empires to self-regulate free speech.
If FaceBook has hate speech on it, then why not raid the offices where the servers are hosted? Kinda how almost everything else gets dealt with. I see no difference between FaceBook hosting data and, say, Kim Dotcom.
That was a beautiful response. Completely demonstrated a clear understanding of the point of the article. Oh how awesome Slashdot could be again if more took on the same attitude.
1. Are we supposed to believe that there are developers out there that truly believe that someone would uninstall an app by accident?
2. Are we supposed to believe that there are developers out there that truly believe that someone intentionally uninstalled an app, but that they may be talked back into using it, by a push-notification?
No, I feel like this is the first step in some new development to extort any means by which a user can be advertised to. The good news is that it'll end soon, because it's bogus. The push-back will be that everyone turns off push-notifications for everything.
Am I lost here? Where does it say that there's water on Mars? And if there's no water on Mars, or if we just don't know about it, then how is this meaningful research?
I wonder how many people are using this, as I am, to finally decide to stop visiting this site. Whatever editor allowed this article to post, needs to get a job in another field.
Facebook, a program that people run on a server that they don't control, has users that share photos/video, that they themselves didn't take, of an event that they didn't partake in (didn't even happen on the planet that they live on), to other users that they don't know. And from this real fake event, the news of which spreads to other websites, and here we are discussing it as 'the funny that facebook did'.
No, my friends, facebook didn't do this alone, it took a lot of today's common ridiculousness in order to get this ball moving. If this 'need for something to share' doesn't alert anyone to the degraded state of human interaction, then nothing will.
Yes, I'm saying that people should go out in space, and not just sit on facebook.
With live people, those live people will be able to make live decisions, on the spot. There will be much more of a dynamic operation with live people, whereas currently, they're setting most things up to statically unfold.
It's not about getting data that's meaningful, it's just about getting data, and then going from there, making assumptions, generalizations, all that. It only takes one "terrorist plot undermined using geofeedia software" to get the entire country behind that software. Hell, the Iraq war was started based on the fact that they had nuclear weapons.
I seriously doubt this will happen, unless the costs for this type of DNA analysis comes way down. Currently the cost for this type of analysis is around $2,500. I can't imagine any employer willing to spend $25,000 just to interview 10 people.
Of course, knowing humanity at it's current state, it probably will catch on in such a way that it becomes normal for everyone to have their own DNA tests done prior to applying for a job, and simply bringing in the paperwork to the interview. And of course, people will find a way for fraudulently do this, and humanity will be presented with yet another useless expense.
...no matter who you are. Eventually our kids will wonder why we used to sit around watching a central TV, just like we wondered why our parents sat around listening to the radio.
I've heard locker room talk like this, and then too, I felt the guy involved was more-than-likely powerful, creepy, spoiled, and quite capably a rapist.
First of all, this is totally a sh*thead thing to do. Email services are worked on ALL THE TIME, while up and running. There should never be a reason that forwarding, or any other aspect of email, should have to be disabled while it's worked on.
As a work-around, you could probably setup an automated "vacation reply" of some kind, set it for as long of a time as possible, and just put an informative note that includes your new email address. Of course this wouldn't solve the issues where you're being sent email from some automated service that does meaningful things like, bill you for that thing that you forgot you're billed for every month, but it's something.
I'm talking about the fact that there's are satellites overhead taking pictures of the planet daily. More than likely those satellites were paid for, at least partially, with tax dollars.

That's the best argument that I've heard for that side, but still seems thin. Thank you.

Really, a wikipedia article as evidence of water on Mars? No, as far as I know, water has not been discovered on Mars.
1. Are we supposed to believe that there are developers out there that truly believe that someone would uninstall an app by accident?
2. Are we supposed to believe that there are developers out there that truly believe that someone intentionally uninstalled an app, but that they may be talked back into using it, by a push-notification?

Haha, made me think of this.
They don't have the trigger-happy militarized police department behind them.

I'ts hard, yes, but the payout is well worth it.

I kinda understand your concern here, but are you cool with Google maps?
Alabama is beautiful! Come to Mobile, and you'll find it, comparatively, like New Orleans. Mardi Gras was started here.
