They'll see it as yet another ad that's preventing them from watching what it is they want to watch, and associate the brand with THAT negative experience instead.
Do you want the PR after the next mass shooting that the kids weapons were funded from your company due too add revenue on his hateful YouTube blog?
Did you know that 100% of terrorists breathe oxygen? If you breathe oxygen, you're a terrorist! Do we blame toyota for bank robberies when a corolla is used as a getaway car? No. Societies that reason this way are doomed to total(itarian) failure. Such irrationality should be pointed out and criticized.
You tell me. They're the ones majoring in social justice instead of employable majors. Of course, they don't exist in a vacuum: Educational institutions have whole departments indoctrinating them with this nonsense. Too much protesting and not enough studying make jack and jill unemployable dullards.
Trump's presidency hasn't made these people go away. If anything, it's made them louder and more obnoxious. They should take it as a lesson in how crybullying can backfire. His 'grab 'em by the pussy' comment isn't any worse than the 'boys are stupid throw rocks at them' style 'justice' from feminists. They're just mad they lost a bit of their mostly unopposed control over the dialogue. Too bad. I have no sympathy for hypocrites.
None of this has anything to do with the gp's criticism of the article: that it uses socjus style social shaming about 'bullying' to encourage public deference to robots.
This marxist response to valid criticism of modern social justice shows why it's so hard to maximize organizational talent: These insecure losers have managed to make skin color and sex more relevant to worthiness than ability and accomplishment under the guise of fighting against such bigoted discrimination. There are, however, quite a few people who actually see this hypocrisy for what it is as the western world has starting moving away from such damaging ideology.
Your entire post is argument from authority. Just because someone has the blessing of some shitty organization of gasbags doesn't say shit about his abilities. If what you said was true, there'd be absolutely no engineering catastrophes on record simply because no one without said blessing is allowed anywhere near anything critical. Of course, we know this is not true.
An engineer is someone who designs machines. If you design machines, you are, or at least have been, an engineer. Someone who's designed lots of high quality machines successfully is a good engineer. One with lots of fuck ups is a bad engineer.
While having a demonstrably good track record is important, paper-driven bureaucratic minds like yours are a plague on society.
Sending an email to the engineering board is NOT practicing anything. They're free to ignore his email, take it under advisement, or act on it if they think it's prudent to do so. What the fuck? Take your totalitarian bullshit somewhere else.
If a 3rd week physics 101 student could've figured it out, then: 1. why didn't the (supposedly state licensed) civil engineers who set up the lights know about it? 2. are physics 101 students also in violation for 'practicing engineering' without a license?
No, the whole 'fake news' thing was started by a mainstream media that couldn't reconcile reality with the heavy lensing effects of their ideological slant. So while it started with Trump's win, and he has done much to enhance it, the starting point is still the so-called 'journalists.'
I agree it's impossible to eliminate it entirely, but the mainstream media doesn't even try. In fact, they go out of their way to be as biased as possible without stepping into blatant lie territory (most of the time). Then they cry about 'fake news' and 'alternative facts' from the liars on the other side.
Hypocrites all. Perhaps they should apply the scientific method to their 'journalism' to see just how hokey most of it probably is.
I have a better idea, instead of ballooning state governments well past their self sufficiency points with federal reserve funnymoney, how about they pay back what they owe and operate in the black like they should? I know, I know, balanced budgets are racist and sexist and colonialist and anti-science or something, but if we're expected to run our lives and businesses this way, so should governments.
Latency hiding is an 'ok' compromise for two player p2p networked games like fighters (eg 'rollback'), but does not work well for games with multiple players each having different latencies. The best solution there has always been for each player to eat his latency to the server. There's no reason why the whole game should be dictated by the player with the highest latency. Some games dumb down the mechanics to hide it which is also a crappy trade off.
Overall, I think it's better for hpbs and lpbs to stick to separate matches, either by choice or via matchmaking. If the game engine's any good, a player won't be able to blame latency for his lack of skills if he's playing with people who ping roughly the same to the server. If he's got excessive jitter or pl, he should call his ISP.
Also, the comment text no longer fills most of the browser window. Now a third of the space is taken up with the right hand column, which is useless on the discussion pages. I'd rather have more space for comment text. In order to get it back, I have the make the browser window substantially wider.
Yes, and what happened when they switched up the UI to 'beta'? Obviously some software is network based by nature. A stand alone slashdot is possible, but pointless as it depends on participation by many users to have any value. Much software is not like this and needn't be remade as overpriced javascript nightmares locked behind web portals, yet that is what's being pushed as the future.
People like you are the excuses used by wannabe tyrants to trample liberty on the road. This self-driving dystopia they want to build (complete with ready-made abuses of remote kill and tracking) is a result of idiocy like yours. Put the fucking thing away while you drive. If you need to mess with it, pull over and stop. Then play with it all you want. Set your route and then go.
Driving distractedly IS driving dangerously. If you are moving, you ARE traffic. While I agree that cops can and do abuse their power, your shitty behavior is what's giving theirs popular support.
Sounds great for marketing types who want to incentivize the installation of their crapware, otherwise hell no. Single sign on is bad for reasons which should be obvious to the slashdot userbase.
Thats the real danger, If we just didnt allow people to get a license until theyre 25, and give it up at 60, The roads would be much safer.
Not really. At this point you're already looking at diminishing returns because it tramples on opportunity for experience. A 25 year old who hasn't done much driving is going to be more dangerous than the 25 year old who's been driving since he was 16. At 60, you're giving up a lot of experience just to remove the risk of slightly retarded reflexes. At 75-80+, you might have a case.
Life is about risk. At some point we enter not-worth-living status if the final say on all activity is the mob's knee jerk perception of relative safety.
I am constantly on my phone while driving. but i dont tailgate, i pay attention when driving even while looking at or using my phone. and if it takes more than a half a second to try to see what i need i either wait or pull over and do it. I have been driving service work since i was 16, every day.. didnt get a license until i was 21. I have never been in a car accident. *knock on wood*
I see so you one of those "it applies to everyone but me" types. When 'you' are talking on the phone, 'you' aren't distracted, it's only when everyone else does it. When 'you' drive without a license between the ages of 16 and 21, 'you' aren't doing anything wrong, yet you imply other 16yos shouldn't be on the road with or without licenses.
Fucking christ, the level of cognitive dissonance required for this level of hypocrisy... Put the fucking phone away while you're driving.

They should follow their own advice if they expect others to.
It's not the KKK Fedora Hat Association that's crybullying in the streets and on college campuses.

..and I wonder what groups are responsible for tarnishing that aspect of the constitution to a point where advertisers don't feel comfortable with it?

Yeah because other world governments never distort facts to justify their agendas.

Yes, and we'll be one step closer to mimicking the heavy handed bureaucratic processes of the old Soviet Union.
