  1. Can't imagine why he'd be fired. https://pics.me.me/nd-punch-al...

  2. Probably 10-20% do most of the actual work while the rest are goldbrickers put there to either look good or just talk about diversity all day. Not a new phenomenon of course but now you can look busy talking about transgender rights all day as a senior database engineer instead of shuffling papers to hide how incompetent or useless you are.

  3. Re:Proprietary software is not sustainable on The Swype Smartphone Keyboard Is Dead · · Score: 1

    Because we all know Joe Schlomoe the grocery store assistant manager likes nothing more than to fire up emacs and start uploading commits of his favorite discontinued database program. Look I'm not against a little necessary elbow grease but this extreme diy by default attitude permeates the entire linux ecosystem from support to OS and they wonder why linux can't get a leg in anywhere without a big corporation slapping a fat layer of frosting on it.

  4. At least you get off easy for any other crime... on Sweden Considers Six Years in Jail For Online Pirates (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sweden is generally pretty lenient on crime. Unless you do something which offends, Muslims, LGBT, or the honer of a woman. Such as not getting written permission everytime you want sex. Or not having a corporate board with a certain percentage of females no matter how unqualified they are. Then they'll come down on you like a ton of bricks.

  5. I was reading the story about PornHub on Reddit Bans 'Deepfakes' AI Porn Communities (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    And I was shocked that Reddit hadn't done the same thing first. Anybody on those subreddits who didn't see this coming from a mile away is a moron.

  6. Net Neutrality in a nutshell on Bicyclist Protests Net Neutrality By Slowing Traffic Outside the FCC Building (thehill.com) · · Score: 2

    ISps as gatekeepers==BAD Upstream monopolies like Google/Yahoo/Microsoft etc as gatekeeper==no big deal.

  7. would we rather on Volkswagen Admits To Testing Diesel Fumes On Monkeys (cnet.com) · · Score: 0

    have the fumes skip testing on a close human model and just kill or harm millions of humans and monkeys out in the wild?

  8. Tf is a generic library. There is no pastehollywooddivaonporn.h or even faceswap.h module as far as I'm aware.

  9. So basically favoring the Big Guys on YouTube Toughens Advert Payment Rules (bbc.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    over the little ones and turning YT more into online television. Which is the direction they've been wanting to go anyway.

  10. What jurisdiction do states have on guidelines for federal agencies? Now if they want to actually do something other than grandstand they're free to pass their own rules.

  11. Gawker Got what they Asked for on Peter Thiel Is Now Bidding on Gawker.com (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Writers with gawker through the affiliated Jezebel regularly supported huge cash payouts for these sort of privacy invasions in the context of feminism. Among other things they wrote stories crowing over the huge multimillion dollar settlement some dizzy female sports reporter got from a hotel because a rogue employee recorded her. What's good for the goose....

  12. So What? on When It Comes to Gorillas, Google Photos Remains Blind (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Black people look more like gorillas than average in the same way white people look more like white bird poop than average. There are 'bad' things black people will look more like than other groups and there are 'good' things they'll look more like than other groups. All this algorithm did was uncover this relationship in its rough state. As it is refined it will uncover relationships more and more toward what is intended.

  13. Spin this into a bad idea in 3, 2, 1 on Trump Pushes To Expand High-Speed Internet In Rural America (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    Cue post after post spinning this into something nefarious in some way even though up until now everybody here was screaming for this.

  14. Not much of a 'government free' currency on China Plans To Kill Most of the World's Bitcoin Mining Operations (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    What is the point of using a currency 'free of government interference' if said government can kill it off anytime they want?

  15. Re:Why all the hate against Bill? on Bill Gates Is First Guest Editor In Time Magazine's 94-Year History (geekwire.com) · · Score: 2

    Its not so much hating him I just don't understand the pervasive worship of him among the media and gen Y. He was and is a ruthless industrialist. He's buying love rather than companies now. He earned his money ruthlessly but legally, more or less, and is now acting coldly and logically in his selfinterest. Thats alright...for the most part, but he's no saint for doing this.

  16. I don't understand the worship of Gates on Bill Gates Is First Guest Editor In Time Magazine's 94-Year History (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    Sure, he gives to a bunch of good causes...that benefit his image, in between giving to causes that will benefit him politically and materially. But so what? A rich man with more money than he knows what to do with doles it out instead of taking it with him to the afterlife? A clever psychopath would do the exact same thing. Its like praising a bankrobber for using his fortune to set up a charity. He's not even giving away the money wholesale like he demands other people do with his lobbying for taxes and centralization of government. Rather its doled out in a carefully controlled and targeted fashion at all steps to precisely where he wants under the aegis of his foundation. People instantly forgot what he did to get this money the second he started throwing it in their faces. Maybe if he was really generous he should give that money back to the people he crushed it from so they can become beloved philanthropists.

  17. What exactly has Trump done to deserve a ban? on Why Twitter Hasn't Banned President Trump (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I understand a lot of people don't like him but its not like he makes random posts with the n word or anything like that.

  18. I bet even the mademade global warming side on Scientists Can Now Blame Individual Natural Disasters On Climate Change (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 2

    didn't read the article. Not that it sensationalist title matched the content as usual. Now everybody get to yelling at each other and calling each other dummies. Thats the solution to global warming if you handle it the way people usually do.

  20. All Prostitution is now 'sex trafficking' on Tech Bros Bought Sex Trafficking Victims Using Amazon and Microsoft Work Emails (newsweek.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Seems every generation society gets on this hysterical kick about something threatening their children/womenfolk. While back it was the indians, then sometimes later the yellow peril, then later blacks, and not too long ago satanists. Now I guess its obese greasy white IT nerds. Every notice how you never or rarely heard of sex trafficking before yet starting a few years ago if you believe the stories all of a sudden every town is blanketed with hidden lairs of hundreds of chained up damsels lying in darkened smoky brothels around every corner of town in america. And of course evil men are driving this. Yeah I pretty sure there's always been some hookers here or there who were forced into it, but its pretty hard not to be skeptical when almost all these stories are big on vagueness and sensationalism and small on details and the few that are followed up you often find even the hookers don't consider themselves 'slaves'

  21. I find it funny that so many people are so passionately for no ISPs as Internet Gatekeepers at point A when we're full steam ahead for Google/Facebook/Twitter etc as Internet Gatekeepers at point B, (y'know organizations which collectively wield more and more power and without whom said internet is more and more useless and have been acting like gatekeepers far more often and for far more political reasons) with the full support of many of these same people.

  22. Re: Alt science on Don't Keep Cellphones Next To Your Body, California Health Department Warns (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yeah liberals don't want to regulate behavior at all, except speech, voluntary gay conversion therapy, homeschooling, spontaneous sex, how you spend your money, freedom to hire, interactions with the opposite sex which nobody had a problem with up until 10 years ago, right to choose who to associate with, cake baking, running your business, wedding photography, hunting, eating, playing and on and on to virtually every area you can think of. Other than that, they're completely hands off unlike conservatives.

    Chasing after every shiny fad. The only thing they can really pay attention to is hoovering up PI and going on jihads against engineers who dare to say men and women are carbon copies of each other.

  25. The antisex movement has shifted on The Environmental Cost of Internet Porn (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 3

    The vanguard of the antiporn antisex puritan movement has shifted from the old stodgy religious right to the new left. You can see it as the arguments have gradually shifted from destruction of morality and family values to the exploitation of women and harm to their psychological health and ridiculous appeals to the environment that porn, sex and prostitution entail according to them. Harlotry is now sex slavery. The sunday school marm has transformed into the wizened womyn's studies professor. One argument they both seem to use is the crime factor though. The more things change I guess.
