  1. The judge got paid on this one. on Insurer Refuses To Cover Cox In Massive Piracy Lawsuit (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    His remarks seem more like he had a predestined ruling.

  2. Dunning-Kruger == Godwin-class quackery. on Disney IT Workers Prepare To Sue Over Foreign Replacements (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Attempting to justify hate for Americans through that Godwin corollary, only reduces your argument to: "I hate the US and want to see it brought low".

  3. ITT: Tons of anti-US, internationalist apologists on Disney IT Workers Prepare To Sue Over Foreign Replacements (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    There's a whole lot of people that want to take the US down a peg, sanitizing it in the name of some sports term called "global competitiveness". They just want to see the US have to be the nation of people desperate for any port in a storm, even if it's the worst in jobs. In the McCarthy era, they would have been rightfully removed and replaced with citizens that properly value citizens as assets - not problems.

    The US citizen's worth and way of life shall not be challenged by such low-freedom internationals. Besides, the worst citizen can be trained to be above the level of the average "body shop" guest worker.

  4. Ukranian Territory. on Sabotage Blacks Out Millions In Crimea · · Score: 1

  6. Looks like spurning the US was bad after all. on Jolla Goes For Debt Restructuring (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Perhaps if they actively courted the US market, they wouldn't be in this mess.

  7. Re:Unskilled work. on Value of University Degree Continues To Decline (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    That's how they get treated.

  8. How about killing off the H1-b's first? on Value of University Degree Continues To Decline (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Before asking for a second tier semiskilled specialty, perhaps one might look at removing avenues to avoid hiring citizens.

  9. Except that it really is them & so much more. on Value of University Degree Continues To Decline (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Kill off the guest worker programs and then see what happens with a clean, distortion-free, pro-citizen market. See to it that there is no way not to hire a citizen in a direct hire, FTE capacity.

    College will be for everyone until alternatives have a practical yield and are considered skilled work - something that votech cannot and will not do for the foreseeable future.

  10. Using sports terms doesnt help you. on Value of University Degree Continues To Decline (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Then make it a Royal PITA to not run a company there.

  11. DARVO, Economics Edition on Value of University Degree Continues To Decline (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Not true, but feel free to misplace benefit and harm.

    Who really benefits from the protection: citizens of developed countries.

    Who is really harmed: internationalists like yourself.

  12. Unskilled work. on Value of University Degree Continues To Decline (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    At the end of the day, it is still considered as unskilled work.

    Second, it faces the threat from unchecked use of illegals.

    Third, it actually has a hard limit on age due to the physical nature of work.

  13. Let me know when it comes from a safer company. on Huawei Battery Upgrade Means Dramatically Faster Charging For Mobile Devices · · Score: 2

    Given Huawei's checkered history with corporate espionage (such as their complete theft of Nortel) and ties to the Chinese government, I'll wait for a better company.

  14. How About No? on An Algorithm To Facilitate Uber-Style Dynamic Phone Tariffs (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    The practices of nudging and variable rates need to DIAF and stay dead.

    Fixed rates have served quite well.

  15. The lack of it is a problem on No Such Thing As 'Unlimited' Data (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    When you get rid of unlimited data, you bring back the old days of Compuserve. It removes the freedom of individual users and puts it in the hands of a few.

    To think of it, doesn't Net Neutrality have a point in killing the meter?

  16. Seems like you have a loose grip on facts. on SXSW Reinstates Panels On Harassment, Adds All-Day Harassment Summit (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Facts can stand up without any administrative action. Care to try to refute them?

    On the other hand, the stuff from you seems to be of the purest delusion, supported only by people willing to obliterate the truth.

  17. Then specifically target the training. on Comcast Expanding Data Cap Locations, Training Reps To Avoid Subject (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Speak to them and calmly re-iterate the concerns, pointing out Comcast/XFINITY's training when necessary.

    It sounds like that Comcast doesn't want to fall foul of NN and have someone admit it.

  18. You're shortchanging yourself with 2nd tier work. on The 'Trick' To Algorithmic Coding Interview Questions (dice.com) · · Score: 1

    Being a contractor gets your foot into the door to demonstrate your abilities

    No, that's the probationary period as a direct hire. To do so as a contractor is to give up any ground one might have.

    Also, roasted duck and mac-n-cheese on Fridays is a killer combo at one of the cafeterias.

    Had similar options as a directly-hired person for a certain East-Coast based media conglomerate.

  19. In other words, become a second-class citizen. on The 'Trick' To Algorithmic Coding Interview Questions (dice.com) · · Score: 1

    They use contractors since they think it is bad for such people to receive good benefits.

  20. Re:Good, talk about professional victims as harass on SXSW Reinstates Panels On Harassment, Adds All-Day Harassment Summit (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Because they recognize that supporting the kind of abusive behavior we see from GG and similar groups is not socially acceptable.

    Yet the harassment seems to fly from the direction that thinks it's "not socially acceptable" to speak inconvenient truths. Either one abides by the narrative or gets the something equivalent to Scientology's Fair Game.

    That, and for people defending civility from hate groups, you sure have a strange definition of both. Sarah Nyberg's crimes against children counted as civility while bringing it to light is hate. In addition, discussions are defined as hate if the wrong people control the discussion or are able to speak. Finally, hatred is defined as civility when the "correct people" control the discussion or make bomb threats against any narrative-breaking event.

    With that in mind, your opinion only seems to hold up when you can make appeals to administrative action. Mine can hold up itself based on the facts.

    GG just hasn't figured out that they're no different than other hate groups, so when they see a bunch of large sites reaction exactly like a normal person would expect, they immediately assume that there is some secret conspiracy.

    The Gamejournopros mailing list leaks, along with the fearful reaction, were proof enough of collusion. That, and disparate sites don't just suddenly get on the same page and deliver the same exact message and policy without some instruction.

  21. Why New Zealand of all places? on Full Text of Trans-Pacific Partnership Released (Officially, This Time) (mfat.govt.nz) · · Score: 0

    This kind of "release" seems like it wasn't meant to be easily found.

  22. At least we can have the discussion. on SXSW Reinstates Panels On Harassment, Adds All-Day Harassment Summit (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Unlike many places, Slashdot's discussions are left alone for >90% of the time. It all depends on who has modpoints and when.

    Other places have killed off the discussion in the name of "removing harassment", despite allowing harassment of those not in support of the narrative.

  23. Nope, but nice DARVO. on SXSW Reinstates Panels On Harassment, Adds All-Day Harassment Summit (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Fixed that for you.

    1. Eron Gjoni breaks up with Chelsea van Valkerberg.
    2. Chelsea van Valkerberg engages in lawfare to gag Gjoni, preventing him from speaking the truth.
    3. Chelsea van Valkerberg reaches out to some friends to have discussion killed off in various online forums.
    4. Anyone who looks at the facts or defends Eron Gjoni (or the exposure of the scandal) is labeled a 'harasser' and is attacked/destroyed/doxxed.
    5. Chelsea van Valkerberg loses her gag order in Massachusetts
    6. Chelsea van Valkerberg loses her gag order in Washington (state).
    7. She retreats to more friendly, fact-free venues after losing court battles.

  25. You can't take the van Valkerberg out of her ;) on SXSW Reinstates Panels On Harassment, Adds All-Day Harassment Summit (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Zoe Quinn is not her real name. It's a pseudonym.

    Yes and No. Apparently legal records may have changed - especially in light of her van Valkerberg name being in too many places to control.

    While a person can take the van Valkerberg out of their legal records, they can't take the van Valkerberg out their actions. They will eventually be remembered as harassers that abused privilege in the name of calling out privilege.

    I would admit that it would be nice to walk in the UN and offer a rebuttal to their harassment claims with mine.
