It doesn't matter if illegal immigrants are actually criminals or not, it only matters that saying it provides Trump with the justification of building a gigantic wall.
Are you accusing the POTUS of having advanced autism?
Anywhere other than the government (at the top of it, that is) if you put someone in a position and they do something wrong you are held accountable as well.
We need a law stating that enforcement of EULAs and TOS must apply across the whole userbase. Shadowbans, Greyballs, etc would only be applicable if they effectively shut off the whole system. There's no reason some politically-driven company in the butthole of the world (San Francisco) should be allowed to inflict their policies on others, if they gain a market share they have a responsibility to treat users equally without regard to politics, jobs, or anything else. If a user breaks the law using their system that's one thing (and there is literally a law to stop the user,) but corporations derive their existence from government approval, they don't have the right to conceal information available to a part of the userbase or to quell freedom of speech - the government doesn't have that right and therefore cannot imbue a corporation with that right.
Bullshit. If you make something offering a massive advantage the first competitor to jump on it means everyone must or go bankrupt.
In addition, if you think it started 7 years before 2008 you shouldn't even be talking about the issue, but to pump your candidate. It wasn't Bush, it was Clinton and Gore which adjusted Acorn to ensure subprime mortgages were pushed to market.
A President Trump is an actual possibility, at odds which while less than 1 in 3 are still scary.
A president hillary is scarier. Never forget: Clinton (Bill) and Gore caused the 2008 collapse by forcing banks to start taking on subprime mortgages when he was in office.
If there is anything I said that was bad about FaceBook I take it back.
This is an awesome idea !
Don't be so quick to unjudge. That's a 3 billion dollar tax deduction which they still control, most likely to back healthcare startups in Silicon Valley and gain more power. At least wait until they actually cure something.
The same could be said for anything in Silicon Valley, really. It's all hot hair pushed by the shiestiest of marketing and sales people - it either flops (most of the time) or it succeeds and increases the share of resources the worst of Humanity have with which to control the direction of the species. If the whole place sank into the ocean the quality of life on Earth would go up noticeably for everyone else.
The villain of the movie "Antitrust" has a foundation too, so Bill Gates can stay a bad guy.
Bill Gates is just not a bad guy anymore.
Funny, last I checked he was taking the largest sum of wealth ever accrued by an individual, sticking it into a tax-evading non-profit he has control over, and pissing it away in the third world while the megacorporation he founded marches along to the same mantra of "fuck everyone who helped me get where I am, it's time for some cultural marxism and social 'justice.'" There is nothing good about Bill Gates, the fact you think otherwise is just another negative to add to the list (the liberal elites have brainwashed nearly an entire generation into believing in self-defeating ideologies.)
Not that guy, but one company which springs to mind immediately is HGSI. They cured AIDS, were bought out by Glaxo-Kline-Smith and all their research was shelved because GKS has a treatment-for-life product which a cure would have made obsolete.
If Slashdot is any indication, techies are too busy whining about Microsoft or decrying every new technology as somehow invading their privacy or otherwise harming them. Instead of actually doing something to solve the security problems and move those technologies along, the supposed techies are too busy wearing tinfoil hats. The techies really are a bunch of luddites who are standing in the way of innovation and solving problems. Anytime there's a new technology discussed on here, unless it involves Linux, everyone rushes to condemn it as harmful. Take off your damn tinfoil hats and do something productive to improve the world, for a change.
When nearly every new technology is warped into infringing upon security not creating new technologies is the best thing you can do for the world.
What utter gibberish. Have you any idea what the size of a LINAC would be to get to LHC Energies? This isn't SLAC, and these aren't Electrons. And WTF do "Phased Arrays" mean? Phased Arrays of... What? Little red cups?
First off, look up "LASER Plasma Accelerator." Second off, stop thinking you are qualified to speak about science.
HFT wasn't the issue, the rejiggering Clinton and Gore did of Acorn to encourage subprime lending was. It just happened to implode around the same time because the effects took time to manifest.
The LHC is dumb physics. That isn't to say physics is dumb, it's to say it's the physics of "we have no sound theory to test so we're going to smash shit and see what happens." It's borderline anti-science and it can be done far cheaper with linear accelerators and phased arrays anyway - at the same scale with recent breakthroughs. Colliders like the LHC are as a result the equivalent of welfare for people with physics degrees who can't actually hack it.
I suspect that most coders fall somewhere on the spectrum anyway. Are they specifically looking for the rocking back and forth level of autism? The "awkward, can't look you in the eye, bad grooming"? Or the "I'm always right and get insanely defensive" (also includes defense extremists who have OVERLY strong political views)?
No, Microsoft has had had a problem for at least a decade of believing people with marketing/sales aptitude were programmers because they could pass through the absurd interview process on campus. They probably define autism as "can't sell me a pen."
Slashdot Mirror
He's defining "businessmen" as "people who run actual businesses, not non profits."

The world would be better off without the southern half of California, but the Silicon Valley area is by far the worst for tech.

Then you thought wrong, because these "time crystals" take an enormous amount of energy.

Doesn't need to be the companies actually knowing anything. One guy would be enough.
Yes, but engineers don't get paid well enough to buy that kind of rifle.

This is a comment to make it appear as though comments don't get deleted and anyone suggesting otherwise is like the OP.
If he wasn't crippled, you wouldn't have any idea who he is.

Pretty sure it's the same method nature came up with, not particularly effective from the standpoint of the individual though.
the signal is to NOT invest in this company.

Patent numbers, or it didn't happen.

There's a difference between "early" and "overtime."

Total due would be 23b on 53b taxable. So that's 16b that went to the pet NPOs of the Apple execs as a bonus.
Rumor is, it was the hydrozine propellant carried by the Facebook satellite leaking out which caused the explosion.
