The hiring managers have no incentive to do anything other than pick the candidate they think is best
I really, really doubt that's true.
Every large company has policies for quotas/affirmative action/cultural diversity/whatever-you-want-to-call-it. In the last Fortune 500 company I worked, a hiring manager had to write a letter justifying why they didn't offer a job to any minority candidate sent for an interview by HR. No letter was required for white males.
Same as manned spaceflight versus unmanned. To support people you need living spaces, food, water, heat/AC, pressurized cabin, etc. Lots of extra weight and energy consumption.
It'll never be more convenient than using your own car or calling a taxi driven by a real person.
Cheaper? That depends on how often it's used. Outside of college campuses and urban areas, people use their cars a couple of times a day; it'll be a challenge for this to be useful by commuters because of the sheer number of vehicles that have to be available for a couple of hours each day, then sitting idle the rest of the day. Sounds like a niche that replaces Uber to me.
An attacker would already need to be on the machine to use this technique, Nelson said. The attack allows an admin user to execute code in a high-integrity context without requiring the user to approve the administrative action
So the attacker already pwns the machine. This is a threat?
is it getting any more obvious to anyone that Trump is a Hillary plant?
He's not a Hillary plant. But it was pretty obvious that the Democrats did everything they could to trash the other Republican candidates (Rubio, Christie, etc), who they saw as more competitive. End result is the same though.
Negative advertising (and ranting in general) reduces a person's motivation to vote for their candidate. They won't change their mind and vote for the other person, but they might stay home on election day.
For a while the mantra was that you only return from a subroutine in one place, at the bottom.
I think that's been pretty much abandoned. Return when you're done; don't go through contortions to get out of nested loops or IF statements just so you can get to the return at the bottom.
If you factor in the 3.5% they could earn on that $300M the pay back time is closer to 50 years. Plus, as you say, factoring in less than 100% output all the time, maintenance, and operations it's clear the this will never be cheaper than current sources of electricity. I suppose one selling point is that subsequent offshore wind farms will be cheaper to build as they get more experience.

Oracle is claiming their lawyer was so incompetent that the wrong verdict was reached.
So now the judge is supposed to believe that same lawyer when she suggests that Oracle should have a new trial.
Sure.
Yea, it's almost as if he wants to use his phone as a phone.
If all they get is $1 or 2 per installed crapware I'd be willing to pay an extra few bucks to avoid the hassle of uninstalling the junk.
However, if they're planning on installing dozens of "apps" I might not be interested in the carrier.
How is this appropriate for slashdot instead of a tabloid at the supermarket?
Same thing. Except slashdot has more advertisements for SpaceX
Once you make it cheaper and more convenient
It'll never be more convenient than using your own car or calling a taxi driven by a real person.

What you see this year is voters in both parties dismayed by their respective nominees.
It's a shame voters won't have a choice like "Abort, Retry, Fail".
You like Microsoft's Bing scraping Google results? Pot meet kettle.
I hadn't thought if it that way before, but you just convinced me.

Maybe /. should sue LinkedIn for spamming them about this lawsuit

Not while it's blocked by police cleaning up the carnage.
I won't even call it a "bad programming idea". I've seen more problems from over normalizing a database than from under normalizing.
Maybe the bad idea is trying for fourth normal.
Do they have legal authority to demand records of personal information from Reddit?
No, but the judge hearing the lawsuit does.
Another one that started the same way is Carnegie Mellon University
This was the *sixth* rocket they've landed.
Well, they landed all of them. Some landings were harder than others.
At high altitude a parachute or something similar would burn up. At lower altitudes the terminal velocity is such that it's not needed.
So what's the verb for extracting oxygen from water with gills?
"Ventilation" or "Breathing". Both are correct. "Respiration" also works, although that actually describes a more complicated process.
That is about a 6% ROI
No, it isn't. The asset is fully depreciated after 20 years. That alone eats your ROI.
