Actually, I'm a fan of the electoral college. At least, I understand what it's benefits are. I'd be interested to see straight popular vote, but my suspicion is that everyone would end up hating it.
I had to have a look myself. To be fair, she is responding to some pretty self-righteous men in her column. The only problem is she is responding ALSO in the most arrogant, self-righteous way possible.
I'd say that's certainly NOT the only problem with her statement. There are douchebags of every gender out there, it's misandrist to imply all men. To put it differently, it would be as if I pretended that she were an example of all women, and made pronouncements based on that. I would be labeled a bigot, and rightfully so.
Okay, so, here's a controversial opinion that will likely anger some people. You don't have to say anything. Ever. About anything. Ever. Especially if you're a man.
What troll got put in charge of picking titles and articles? I seriously doubt Apple gives two shits about the skin color of their customers, it's all green to them after all.
The worst that can be said is that Apple wants to build stores in areas with demographics which strongly correlate with skin color, but that's hardly surprising, nor would apple be alone in this behavior.
If Adobe can't find COTS software that meets their needs, it blows my mind why they wouldn't develop it and sell it. They are a software company.
Debatable. They're a software company in the same way I'm a programmer; yes, I can cobble together a program to achieve various objectives, but I'm hardly ever proud of the quality of the code.
You may have a point IF you were charging others 1m per reply, or indeed, charging folks anything at all.
These students are exchanging their service for an education. Absent the work, they'd have to pay their own tuition. In fact, plenty of other students DO have to pay the tuition.
I don't see how you can view this as anything OTHER than income.
Which is not to say I'm on board with taxing it. There may ( or may not ) be good reasons to keep the income tax free. However, to pretend it's not income distorts the discussion and compromises it's integrity.
If I'm waiving your tuition, guess what? That's income, in that you are receiving products for deferred compensation (ie: never ).
Were you to argue that college interns should have their tuition forgiven, that'd be something. But to argue that it's not income at all is disingenuous and, more importantly, inaccurate.
There is a latency to bring more reactors online, that's true. However, many forms of renewables tend to be from unreliable sources ( solar and wind largely ), so any power grid dominated by these forms of energy will have to face this "flexibility" constraint anyway ( likely through the deployment of batteries ).
Meaning nuclear's lack of flexibility is an issue already addressed in the inherent design.
There's always "that guy" in every thread about traditional TV, and I guess this time it'll be me. But seriously; how many folks still slave themselves to the device? There are so many better options of consuming even TV based content ( like waiting for it on streaming venues ).
Haven't had traditional cable in over a decade, and I certainly don't miss it.
How about "empowering" boys and men too? Give them a heads up on the legal dangers to themselves and their future children if they participate in the rigged game of marriage ( at least in the west ).
But hell, I guess as long as women are looked after it's all A-OK.
What hangs by a thread? The 4th has been neutered for years if not decades.
It hasn't been about what's "legal" for...what, a century or more? It's more about what they can get away with. Unfortunately, I get the feeling that while we were focusing on the irrelevant ( 'what's legal' ), we lost the war ( 'what people pay attention to' ).
It does seem to suggest a certain amount of hypocrisy, doesn't it?
It'd have been easier, for google, if his "memo" were easily dismissable as sexist. However, given he had all his facts lined up and he apparently knew what he was talking about, it does make it out to be quite a problem for Google.
Regardless of the outcome, it should be interesting.
If this is important for Universities, maybe they can take some of all that lovely guaranteed student loan money and direct it towards salaries instead of beanbags, crayons, safe spaces and "grounds improvement" and whatever the hell else they spend gobs of that money on.

If these pages really did influence the election, maybe we're just not ready for democracy ( democratically elected republic...whatever ).

So why is it OK for her to do that to men?

Is how we can encourage this behavior. Encourage everyone who doesn't "believe" in science to take themselves out. It could only help the species.
Of course, we'd lose most of our politicians....so it's really a win/win.

How you were modded to 5 I'll never know.

Or is it just "social engineering" when the "wrong side" wins ?
Nonsense. Preposterous.
It's just that "social engineering" is bad when the wrong side wins.
This story would have been blindingly obvious were it published 10 years ago. Today it's more like stating the sky is blue. Water is wet.
Guess someone's getting paid by the word, eh?

Not sure why you're being modded down, because you nailed it.
For all their lofty goals, paranoia and empty gestures are all Germany has thus far achieved.

Is that what you took away from that?
Interesting, and a bit ironic given the subject matter.

Ha! Regular people aren't people. Not real people, anyway, like corporations are. :D
There are so many beloved fantasy epics out there, it might be wise to avoid the almost-blasphemy of redoing LoTR.
Off the top of my head, I'd do Wheel of Time. Lacking that, then I'd buy the rights to the Stormlight Archive.

Music companies have been manufacturing stars for years, this is really just the next step in the process.
A very very small step, truth be told.
Hopefully he's doing a DISTINCT on the query.
Hey, maybe modern day slashdot should consider that too!
There is a market for them. A lot of folks don't like the bloatware on Samsung phones and won't get an Apple, for instance.
