Not to say that the Russians have not been doing shenanigans with releasing leaked emails, fake news sites, etc. but that shit is a far cry from "Hacked Election!" PS - Voted for Clinton, but Bernie supporter.
Or....just a thought, you see... the phrasing of the query affects the results returned, in which case, it's working as designed.
If, say, I searched for "Liberals are bed-wetting pussies" I doubt I'd get results pointing me towards DailyKos, HuffPost, etc.
The whole "Bernie could not get minority support" meme is just that. Basically, the Clintons had been playing the black community at a national level for decades.
Bernie, they just had never heard of. Would they have stayed home had we won the primary? No.
From what I've seen, NN means either: A) ISPs cannot give preferential service to Content Provider Z vs X. or... B) ISPs who own monopoly-level back-bone should be treated as common-carriers and allow competing ISPs to connect to said back-bone at FRAND rates. Personally, I am much more in favor of B than A, but then I have Windstream as my monopoly provider.:-)
Every incremental advance in reducing CO2 is a great thing! Sure, it may not scale massively/immediately and lead us to fairly-land, but - combined with the ongoing advances in other alternatives - Great News!
PS - AGW-deniers can just piss the fuck off. You do NOT get to say "I am not a scientist, but the scientists are wrong!" without showing yourself to be a blithering idiot.
Bullshit. First, there is a big difference between the acknowledged failings of our current media (Me, I watch PBS Newshour and read The Economist) and "fake news" which is just pure made-up horseshit. Having said that, they have a right to spew nonsense and we have a duty to ignore it.
Well, it being a community ISP (EMC, actually) and are directly answerable to their customers (citizens), there is a built-in mechanism for any aggrieved "city" (you obviously do NOT live in a rural area) residents to have their voices heard.
Why is it " something else entirely"? First, if the extended customers in question had any viable option, this would be a non-story. Second, if the ISP is providing good service and making money, what's the problem - other than offending some "Oooo, government, oooo - BAD" ideology. Again, if the "Free Market" were up to the task in these situations, we would not be having this discussion.
...government is best, right? Right? Nope, actually they just suck up to the Corporations a bit faster than Democrats, sadly. If only they had not screwed up by forcing Hillary on us as the non-Trump instead of Bernie. Sigh....
Didn't you just contradict yourself? I agree that, say, coming to work when you know that you have the flu because your boss expects it is a voluntary act (ignoring for a moment the motivation behind it, which, IMO, is coerced) because you KNOW that you have an infectious disease. When you have no idea that you are carrying/passing a virus because the government willfully ignored the evidence for many years therefore exacerbating said situation, well.....
Yes - making and selling more product than you "forecast" and therefore making more profit is a horrible, horrible thing! How dare you piss on the God of Forecast?
"...annual sales fell to $216 billion in the 2016 fiscal year ending September 30...." Yes, it's less than the super-heady early years but they are still tremendously profitable and could likely sustain solid margins for quite a long time. PS - I own no Apple products or stock and - quite frankly - despise their business model of sucking profits from app developers for their over-priced but well-engineered products.
The one example that I've seen basically uses shared memory as an expandable pool of fixed-size elements (structs), using an enum to control the size. The real trick is to structure the thing so that one-and-only-one thread/process controls the writing, whereas many others can read with abandon. Those readers could send messages through a separate channel to request a status change, but they didn't directly write to shmem. I'm not aware of any method to handle true multiple shmem write access without some form of locking, though....
Actually, I already live in the affected area (SE USA), so take your snide-ass stupid comments elsewhere. Oh - sorry - you twit! (Much more appropriate than "twat", which here is a euphemism for vagina, whereas "twit" is a euphemism for "dumb-ass", but thanks for playing!)
As a proud, card-carrying TreeHugger(TM) I am happy to see nuclear power remaining a viable component of our national electrical baseline capacity. Let's be real: when coal (especially) is the main alternative for providing the huge baseload requirements of a solid electrical infrastructure, it's a no-brainer to have nuclear be a portion of the multi-legged stool we need.
Can we pretty-please, with sugar on top, not refer to: Explode? As an old electronics guy who has seen more than his share of fried electronics, the word "Explode" does not compute with low-voltage electronics. Smoked? Burned? Yes! Explode? No!!!
What I was going to say. Just setup an OOO auto-reply that says "I am no longer using yahoo as my email provider, as they have fucked me long enough. If you want to contact me via email, please use: gerry@fuckyahoo.com"
I'm one of those old farts that first learned programming on a C64 using BASIC. Started with the basic (no pun intended) "Hello, world" and next thing I knew, I was up till 3AM each night writing a full Blackjack program using peek/poke, sprites, etc., to get a fully visual blackjack game. Fucking awesome! Can you do that with Ruby, Perl, PHP, JS, etc.? Didn't think so.

Gee, let's build a concrete, 58-story tower on top of landfill. No problem!
...had this nailed decades ago! "I used to be all messed up on drugs, man. Now, I'm all messed up on the Lord!"
Not to say that the Russians have not been doing shenanigans with releasing leaked emails, fake news sites, etc. but that shit is a far cry from "Hacked Election!" PS - Voted for Clinton, but Bernie supporter.
...after that well-known radical leftist Margaret Thatcher addressed the issue!
Damn! And me here without my heart medicine handy....

Search phrase wording affects results returned. GASP!!! Almost like the algorithms are working as designed.....

Awesomely said!! Blew my mod points by commenting earlier, but your explanation/analysis is the best I've seen. Bravo, sir!!
