I know it's hard to believe, and for the longest time I actually thought this to have become outlawed, but there are allegedly still students in college trying to learn something rather than expecting something to be handed to them for crying "oppression".
I hope they're still the vast majority, and I hope that their well-earned degrees aren't cheapened by the special snowflakes who think the university owes them a degree because victim.
Agreed. Most of the people who I knew in college who needed any sort of extra counseling or hand-holding were people who probably shouldn't have been in college to begin with. Of course, that was back in a time when it was okay to NOT go to college, and kids were actually honestly told that not everyone belonged in college. These days, every kid, no matter how stupid or ill-equipped for college, has to be told that he's a special snowflake who can do anything and everything.
Don't worry. This is MS we're talking about. Though the idea itself could give them a huge advantage over Sony and Nintendo, you can bet that their implementation of it will be such a pain in the ass to setup and use that any advantage will be wasted. MS ain't exactly Apple when it comes to simplicity or ease-of-use. Just try navigating the already ridiculously over-cluttered Xbox UI sometime, trying to figure out how to do even the simplest task.
I'm just wondering if Buzzfeed is still going to force all the Bernie supporters that work there to produce ads for Hillary Clinton. Fair's fair, right?
The problem is that many startups don't do anything of value.
That's because so many software services these days are only focused on monetizing collected data on the private habits and interests of their users, which they can then sell in some fashion to advertisers, marketers, etc.
COULD we put a man on Mars in 10 years? Yes, if the U.S. Russia, China, et. al all got together and cooperated, the governments all threw a huge amount amount of money in to the program, all the contractors agreed to forgo their usual over-promise-then-delay-to-get-more-money schemes, the public completely got on board, etc.
WILL this ever happen? I would rate the chance of that at slightly lower than the odds of there ever being a decent Fantastic 4 movie.
Publicly owned or not, I'm pretty sure the BBC doesn't just let any wanker on the air to spew whatever they feel like. I suspect they're not going to let people air political views that are too far outside of the "mainstream," unless they're treated as the token nutball on some panel where they're shouted down. Or does Britain First get its own TV show on your "public" network?
Apparently no one told Jeff how much energy it takes just to lift a tiny amount of cargo into space, much less the tons of raw metals and other materials that you would need for industrial operations.

That 4.7 was a spooge-sucking cunt who should HAVE TO SUCK THORNY DILDOS IN HELL!

Where no one ever questioned them or enslaved them to "grades," "attendance," and other forms of oppressive white patriarchy.

In all fairness to GE, they're not going to be eliminating ALL raises. The CEO and his executive team will still be getting theirs.
AC talks big shit.
Only to process your search results--to add to your profile--which they then sell to advertisers.
I think they finally gave up on that horse.
She's allowed to look at me naked only if she returns the favor.
Pretty soon, poor John Connor will have Mitsubishi after Mitsubishi chasing him down.
Film at eleven!
Just let it happen. Don't try to fight it.
That was a mean thing to say, Walmart.

By leveraging crowd-based efforts through public consciousness.
I'm so old I remember when there was real history on The History Channel and real learning on The Learning Channel.
obey without question.
It's doubleplus good when you do.

Why the fuck do people rely on centralised private speech platforms to make political speech?
What do you suggest as an alternative? Are their any decentralized public speech platforms (aside from ranting on a street corner)?

Like my granddad used to say "Working hard at being stupid is much less valuable than half-assing being smart."
Of course, he also warned me to never trust a kraut or jap, so take it for what it's worth.
Whatever happened to the value of good honest labour?
It got bought out by Angel VC's in Silicon Valley.
