" . . . many aimed at spreading negative false claims about Hillary Clinton." What was fake about those negative claims? I'd believe almost anything negative about Hillary. Well, maybe not the one about her drinking the blood of young children, but nearly everything else.
Just because you believe these claims doesn't mean they're true; it rather means that people are telling you what you want to hear.
I have a bunch of friends who shared fake Hillary Clinton stories on Facebook all the time. The truth though is that none of these guys would have ever voted for her no matter what, so I'd say that all the "fake news" stories did was annoy people who knew the stories were fake. I'm guessing that the guys posting them probably knew they were fake as well, but were hoping that they somehow came true.
For a start that should make it illegal to call it gambling when the odds are specifically, purposefully and corruptly tilted in the houses favour. That is called cheating, when the odds are titled in your favour, your are no longer gambling you are winning, when the odds are tilted against you favour, you are not gambling you are losing.
So no lottery then? Odds of winning the Mega Millions lottery are about 1:259 Million.
I don't gamble too often, but when I do, I play Black Jack. It has the best odds and I've also memorized the basic strategy. I only bring the amount of money I can afford to lose. I see it as an entertainment expense.
I also have a money management system. My gambling chips are on the right, and my winnings go to the left. When the right-hand pile is gone, I take a break & count. If I'm down, I'll stop. If I'm up by a little, I stop. If I'm up big, I pocket the original money and play with the house's money, following the same system. After the second go-around, I stop.
I'm also pretty cheap, so I usually only play at the $5 or $10 table, and only at casinos that pay 3:2 on Black Jack. $200 on a $5 table will usually allow me to play for about an hour following my system. The most I've won is about $300 on top of my starting cash. When I've lost, it's usually about $20, which isn't too bad for an hour's entertainment.
In addition, the letter said the paths to promotion are not clear. "Many of us have worked for years with the vague promise of a raise, with nothing to show for it,"
if you unionize, what promotion is there? Isn't the idea behind the union that everyone's equal? Also, why would you work for years without a raise? Is it possibly because you can't find another job that pays more than Tesla?
It's a pretty safe bet that using a gun as a defense against aliens that have the technology to reach us is going to be approximately as effective as trying to blow out a multi-acre wildfire with your breath.
I'm about to do the same to Comcast.. I'll just keep their internet.
I did this last week. Made the switch to PlayStation Vue. I bumped internet service up from 25 Mbps to 75 Mbps though for video streaming purposes though. Testing it out, I've gotten as high as 90 Mbps. It's saving me about $75 per month!
Not sure if it sucks more and more every year or what... last year's Prime Day was pretty good, though. This year really didn't have many sales...
I thought last year's Prime Day was garbage, but this year, I bought a PS4 Slim w/Uncharted 4 for $229, and it came with a free download code for The Last of Us Remastered. I was able to convince my wife to let me buy it since I told her we'd drop Comcast & get PlayStation Vue instead.
To call it a "lie" implies some sort of bias. Assumptions are often built in to such statistical analysis. Why is it a lie this time?
Because those assumptions aren't often included when the stats are released to the public. For instance IIRC, our unemployment stats for the U.S. don't include people who are still out of work but have used up all of their unemployment eligibility. So if you have a few million people who are out of work but don't receive unemployment benefits anymore, they aren't reflected in the reports. That certainly presents a rosier picture than reality, especially for those few million people. Politicians can then claim that unemployment has "fallen" when the reality is something very different.
The majority of CS majors I know can't even tell you how a processor works on basic principles. It's just a black box to them, and when things fail like a stack overflow, they don't know what that even means.
I don't know what they're teaching in CS programs these days, but I know when I was taking it, we had to have assembly programming. Granted it was on Sun SPARC stations, but you got a really good idea of how the operations fit together. Discrete Mathematics was a pre-requisite, so you had a pretty good idea of how things like logic gates work as well going into it.
I've never understood how typing notes was faster than writing them by hand, but then again, I studied engineering and trying to type math equations was never particularly quick, and that was 90% of the notes I took.
Most of my notes were code or pseudocode for algorithms.
When I was studying computer science in school, most of our classes were in lecture halls, and you'd have a lab portion on a different day. I got a PowerBook for my last couple of years, and was able to type my notes, since I can type way faster than I can write., so it worked out pretty well for me. Of course, Facebook wasn't a thing yet, and I detested MySpace.
Now that I'm teaching, we're in a classroom with computers. Since so many students just goof off on the computers during the lecture, I decided to start flipping my classroom. I record video lectures and then have them work on their labs & homework during class time. It has worked out pretty well, especially for the good students, and it removes some excuses for the bad students.
Either choice can be deadly. In Europe, where there have been enormous price hikes for energy because of "renewables" scams, "energy poverty" is killing tens of thousands of mostly-elderly people:
Have you ever considered that might just be part of the plan? Most leftists tend to be Malthusians...
On the other, when an "unnamed source" says that Trump said something mean to someone in the oval office and CNN covers it for five hours straight, you tend to wonder what the hell is going on. There's some crazy deal going on with Qatar that's just a *bit* more important, why aren't they covering that more?
In addition, their gender is irrelevant. This information has only been included to incite more outrage from those who feed off of left-wing identity politics.
I tried to *jokingly* make that point above & got buried. Glad to see someone's modding up common sense . I might have jinxed you though.
Supporting young roboticists is exactly the type of thing what Slashdot is all about.
Well, we have these things called jokes. I realize it's hard to sense a sarcastic tone in written form, but being more explicit seems to ruin the delivery. I don't have any problem with them coming over here, and I tried to convey that with my second part by saying "on a more serious note..." but my guess is that you didn't get that far and just had a knee-jerk reaction to the first part.

Show me the whole URL! Believe it or not Apple, it is useful. It's almost like they purposely turning off power users.
You may find this useful, Mr. Power User...

Weak dude. No wonder your mind cannot handle advanced concepts like "biological differences are different".
Yeah, but only one of those "scientists" was a woman, who is obviously a tool of The Patriarch, therefore it's obviously all invalid!
I have Netflix.
I have Amazon Prime...
When I cut the cord, I got Playstation VUE
Exact same setup as I have. I'm note sure what getting anything else (like Hulu) would add to the mix.

Because "Patriachy!", I suppose...
He didn't denigrate anyone. He just pointed out that people aren't homogeneous in their aptitudes and interests.
Some people find the *suggestion* that there may in fact be differences between people to be denigrating.

If it bleeds, we can kill it.
It's quite sad seeing my perfectly serviceable Nexus 4 and 5 not receive basic security patching, and this has already spread to TVs....
I just bought a new TV for my bedroom. I specifically avoided getting a "smart" TV for exactly this reason.
In theory, both are great ideas... in reality, no one can ever seem to get it right.
Communism was never a great idea; it is probably one of the worst ideas ever.
Both of our kids had Shuffles. My son left his in his pocket and it went in the washing machine. Still worked after it came out of the dryer.
He also doesn't understand A.I.!
