There are still small businesses across the US running books on Excel spreadsheets. I've seen people sort by hand and they thought a deduplication was nothing short of magic.
Um. Perhaps you don't remember a time before Google Existing but if your 'digital life' is in the control of Google you were never in the control you thought you were.
I deleted my facebook, something people would say was their digital life. Turns out I can type other addresses into the browser. If that fails I can type in IP addresses.
Since when is it illegal for google, a private company, to permanently ban users for *anything*?
If I woke up tomorrow and found myself locked out because Google banned people that had used slashdot I'd roll my eyes and move on to the next service.

This is fucking slashdot. Not Reddit. I'm perfectly content with www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes existing. I have no qualms about them. However I don't read it because that's not what I want to read. Consequently I read slashdot for none of this shit.
Damn it new owners. You were doing good. And I'll admit that it's been better than the Dice years but Make Slashdot Great Again by cutting out this crap. There's enough in tech to not even ever have to bring up gender and politics.
I know it may be difficult to understand for those in cities but we have shit internet out here. Even at 25/3 my wife complains about how slow some shopping sites load. Gone are the days of being able to surf the web on dialup.
Unfortunately that's what some people are stuck with. I moved 2 years ago and started attending the local town hall meetings, 'broadband meetings' and doing what ever I could to improve the internet in my rural part of the US. A lot of townships are on dialup, some have cable, some have DSL. In households earning less than $34k/year that have K-12 kids 50% have internet. I live in what I consider a fairly 'normal' area. I don't even want to guess what internet adoption looks like in more rural parts of the US. [And for those in ivory towers wondering what we mean when we say 'we feel left behind' this is part of it.]
These 'fake' news sites are likely the only 'news' sites that some of these people can access. And when they post material that they agree with it just amplifies the echo chamber. Huffington Post's front page weighed in at 7 MB. Even if there are people that might be on the fence and want to go out research other opinions they often can't. They flat out physically have no way to get other information.
If any hard core liberals really want to get back at Trump supporters run Fiber out to everywhere. It's easy to mock someone as ignorant when they have literally no way of learning any better.
That said, where the hell are the web page benchmarking tools? I've been using https://pageweight.imgix.com/ but I can't automate that. My interest is piqued and I really want to do a statistical difference between "liberal" and "conservative" (and "real" and "fake") news sites.
Milo is a caricature of everything the alt-right says the left says the right hates. Hell I didn't even know he was Jewish until Bannon came under fire and he came out as "Hey look, I'm a Jew! He's not anti-Semitic".
I mean you have a flamboyant gay, Jewish man that loudly proclaims how much he enjoys large black men being the figure head for a large swath of single white males. For a lot of his followers I wouldn't be surprised if he was the token [adjective] that proved they weren't racist/homophobic/anti-Semite. "I can't be a racist hoomphobe. I follow this guy on Twitter".
I would pay money to sit and get 'insulted' by this crowd. Bring a lawn chair and popcorn and settle in for a comedy show. I mean when I was a 14 year old boy we tried to insult and push buttons but I'd like to think we could have been a bit more original than 'cuck'.
I'm genuinely curious as to the origins of this with regards to the Trump fanboys. Who sat down and flipped through the dictionary to settle on 'cuck'? Is that the most insulting thing you could come up with to get under the skin of people you disagreed with?
You're going to have to point out my 'objections'. I asked a question in this thread. Not sure how that's an 'objection' to anything. You're putting your own biases into the question.
I dug through my post history. I didn't find anything I would classify as an objection. (With in a reasonable time frame, this account is almost 15 years old)
So in similar circumstances I bring up the same point, but yet I haven't brought up this point before so you're going to have to point out a scenario in which your first and second statement validate to true.
Additionally Slashdot is not Reddit. I'm not going to go back and forth on a thread with people who I don't think are worth responding to.
Decision trees have high variance.
Decision trees have variance if you want to apply rules unequally. If you aren't applying the same rules to everyone but change the rules based on gender, race or anything else it means you're biased and doing a 'rules for thee but not for me'.
This is actually my only other post in this Steve Bannoon thread and digging through the last few pages of comments going back a few weeks I've never really commented on this shit.
You prefer to look at the world in simplistic black-and-white terms which replace context with blind rules.
I look at the world through if-then statements. You should understand that, this is slashdot after all.
I'm still in data collection mode. I'm not making my decision one way or the other yet, I just want to know what your thought processes are on the subject.
any of the nuance.
You're saying you can apply a rule based on the color of their skin, gender, race and just call it 'nuance'?
In a completely unrelated announcement Twitter has released a statement saying 'We're just not sure where all our users are. We will fail to generate revenue for the Nth straight quarter.'
The Alt-Right millennials have also discovered concurrent, scalable, live chat. While most are unsure how to use it they promise to figure out "IRC" sometime.
The botnets are effective because people forgot how the internet was designed. Lets consolidate all of our services to a few providers in a limited numeber of locations, what could go wrong?/s
The Internet itself was designed to withstand a nuclear attack on any part of it. From what I've read FatBoy leaves a bit more destruction in its path than a bunch of DNS lookups or ping -f.
Stop consolidating all of your core into a few data centers.
And if you're really pissed that the internet is 'broken' go back to making your own hosts file.

Most people won't even know if they're running Windows programs.
Give me a Linux desktop that visually matches Windows 2000, XP and 7 and I'll have happy 'customers'.
Make some icon changes and they won't even know it's not Excel and IE.

And Timothy Mcveigh was born and raised in NY state. Should we be issuing travel bans for anyone originating from NY?

Don't speak that way about crack dealers please.

It's the lack of Internet.
I was curious about these 'fake news' sites and started reading a few. They loaded fast I looked at the source code and it looks like I could have written it by hand. These pages are optimized for people that lack access to broadband. FreeRepublic is a bare bones site. This is what a forum post looks like. I spent a few minutes trying to figure out if an ad blocker had taken out some obnoxious ad or something.

Welcome to engineering.
If you don't currently owe Oracle anything you didn't buy into them.
I'll take the practices of crack dealers over Oracle.
And there's very little math, which is good.
How little you know about HVAC.

No problem, I know that guy's an asshole.

I know the etymology of the world. I'm just fascinated that that's what this crowd decided to run with this entire election.
As in, 'is that the best you can come up with. You get a C- on trolling come back with a better effort'.
attempted insult completely fails to connect.
I would pay money to sit and get 'insulted' by this crowd. Bring a lawn chair and popcorn and settle in for a comedy show. I mean when I was a 14 year old boy we tried to insult and push buttons but I'd like to think we could have been a bit more original than 'cuck'.
cuck harder

A good number of my posts in the last month have little to no replies.
Like I pointed out before.
https://slashdot.org/~01000100...
is a separate acount than
https://slashdot.org/~11001000...
You brought it up once in this thread.
Which is *once* and doesn't at all support your claims.
ignoring the rebuttals in other threads,
Seriously, post a link. Evidence to back up your claims is right here: https://slashdot.org/~01000100...
then popping up again in another story
Ok, then it shouldn't be hard to find it.
with exactly the same ill thought-out objections.
You're going to have to point out my 'objections'. I asked a question in this thread. Not sure how that's an 'objection' to anything. You're putting your own biases into the question.
I dug through my post history. I didn't find anything I would classify as an objection. (With in a reasonable time frame, this account is almost 15 years old)
similar circumstances
bring up the same point

You either fling
Um. Could you point to any post I made after my original?
Here's my post history to make it easy: https://slashdot.org/~01000100... (Not to be confused with https://slashdot.org/~11001000...)

I did this in college since our dorm still had a Hub. How is this new (other than being smaller)?
the slashdot crowd defend this racist scumbag.
Can someone please explain the difference in these sets of statements:

"Why isn't anyone using us"?
And they wonder why people that might consider using them go elsewhere.
