'Defending Digital Democracy' means pushing some selfserving political narrative in the US rather than actually defending democracy in places companies like Facebook kowtow to like China.
There are probably hundreds of laudable things bush did that Obama decided not to renew errr..shutdown. But because Trump deciding to consolidate data into one website to save money is 'killing transparancy'. Why should progressives expect him to do anything for them if they're going to hate him no matter what?
I know its asking a lot for Slashdot to react to anything but the headlines but this story keeps surfacing and has repeatedly been shown to have been spun to be misleading. Congress simply reversed midnight regs that were never in effect, the issue being one Federal Agency was engaged in a power grab over another and regulations should be passed after careful consideration and through the proper channels. Not on the sly on the eve of a new Presidency. This has absolutely nothing to do with Republicans cackling in a dark room over shredding privacy rights.
She was bashed because she was using it to conduct top secret business and high level dealings. If you're going to raise the argument at least get it correct.
This place is turning back into another DU.
After 8 years of how Bush was Hitler 1000x and he was definitely going to cause the Apocalypse at least during the Obama years this place got a little more bearable. Still left of center but somewhat rational. Now it looks like its back to 24/7 Buzzfeedesque hysteria, OMG the President is Satan incarnate, and jumping on every meaningless misconstrued nonstory as the end of the world. Goodbye sane Slashdot, we hardly knew you.
During the election Slashdot was one of the few level headed places about Trump, not outright trusting him but at least not becoming deranged with wild apocalyptic theories or fawning praise like everywhere else. Now he's won and all of a sudden he's the author of all evil despite haven't really done anything except doing half of what he said he was going to do and walk back on some of the things people here hated him the most on. It feels we're backsliding into the bad old days when the crowd that eventually moved to Digg and Reddit was still here and every Republican candidate took their turn being the Great Satan who was going to end the world.
And lets not forget that evil 'alt-right' and 'fake news' that didn't exist until the election and now is behind every tree and under every rock...
Your first claim about mandatory funernals is an outright lie and I can't find citations for the others. Congratulations on successfully deceiving. Its a shame people read and will believe this nonsense just because it fits their preconceived notions.
What did they do? Travel to Noah's Ark every year and do a census? If they took studies out of ecology journals obviously they're going to be biased toward animals that are going extinct, not much money in studying species doing just fine. Did they include roaches or pigeons? Seems like they're more of them around then ever? If not, why not? So you're telling me 58% of ALL animals on earth died off over a couple decades and we're still here having barely noticed. Hmmm...that would make a rational person think they were less important and not more, than we previously thought.
We're whining and spending a ton more money on ' correcting' gender imbalance because it is inherently wrong for some reason and supposedly the problem is only worsening according to these studies from the mouths of progressives themselves so it looks like its just making the problem worse so why bother? If anything, doing nothing will improve gender balance if you buy all the logic.
So g00gle found out that different groups really are different in a number of relevant factors and their conclusion was that evil cisgendered bigots when seeing inferior relevant attributes are going to automatically figure out an applicant is a protected minority and in their mind are somehow going to skip over the relevant reasons to discriminate and solely discriminate against based on them being a minority and the effect will somehow be distinguishable and worse than if they had just stuck with discriminating with the relevant reasons they already have.
I would be happier if the Raspbian/Pi team or whoever could concentrate more on mobile/touch and/or improving Android support. Things are starting to move in the right direction; fairly recently Raspbian simply had touch hacked on top of it and Pi could only run Android terribly if at all, but not fast enough for my tastes. Broaden support for homebrew/embedded mobile applications which is what the pi as a tiny computer inherently appeals to rather than continue to focus on the rather limited idea of it as simply a smaller replacement for a desktop computer.
Given how they've already been exposed for their freespeech comments I wouldn't trust their word on Pao being some stalwart defender of the controversial subreddits given how all her actions gave no indication of it. More likely this is just a way to tweak the users who got rid of her and get some revenge by doubling down even harder on them.
I can't believe how many people are can't wrap their heads around businesses being able to choose their own customers. Being a 'jerk' is a moral offense and should not a legal one on par with robbery or murder. People already are allowed to be jerks for a million other reasons, why is orientation so special? If the government needs to go after bakers not baking a cake for someone why not also jail and fines for adultery or cutting in line?
Not only is he unfairly dissing nerds, he's also being unfair to men. Whats with this idea that women on the whole are the more virtuous sex? Seems sort of an oldfashioned notion to me. Women can and are just as dirty, underhanded, and evil as men. Its just that they tend to exercise their power more through social and psychological means and not through bruteforce as much.
How exactly does it make sense to believe that the 2nd Amendment was to effectively protect the military's right to bear arms? The Founders obviously were talking about grassroots organizations and the people and not just another branch of the federal army like the national guard is now.
Whatever is true the majority of the climate change industry and powers that be must not be too concerned. Why else would they keep banging their head on a primarily ascetic solution that has been proven not to work? Whatever they claim to believe countries simply will not accept the standards the IPCC wants, will fail to meet the standards they accept, or offload industry on countries that have no standards. And many say that we're all doomed anyway. This has been shown time and time again. Yet they keep pushing these failed tactics of economic downsizing and regulation that will coincidentally enrich and empower them while at the same time virtually ignoring, actively blocking, or only paying lipservice to nuclear and technological solutions.
Not to make any conclusions but It seems that all they do is run a bunch of simulations on a computer then pull this sweeping hypothesis from nowhere without an ounce of biological data or actual study of real humans.
as we're always told I think they'll have no problem making up their own mind about what they want to do without the media constantly telling them. And they'll be perfectly capable of doing it without any need for outside paternalistic advantage or encouragement.

Wait, is it controversial that women are on average significantly less interested in software engineering? Really?

colleges have a lot more government revenue streams than churches
If you're just going to keep purposely characterizing your opponents positions?

If trump didn't meet with SV you guys would be bashing him for being a spoiled winner.

Its amazing with all the news stories that agree how smart liberals are that they continue to lose right?
Buzzfeed; the ultimate arbiter of which political side of the aisle is more biased.

We should never forget that robots should be designed to help people...not replace them.
