Everyone is biased. You just need a little discernment.
It's just an aspect of puritanical thinking. It divides the world into purely good and bad with no shades of grey. It's like, steal bread to eat, well, you're going to hell to be tortured for all eternity. Go on a mass murdering spree? Well, you're going to hell to be tortured for all eternity.
The mindset has no nuance, and no shades of grey. And it leads people to dismiss good but imperfect things like fact checkers. Because if it's not RIGHT then it's WRONG and there's nothing inbetween that. And that makes snopes as bad as honestnews.kremlin.ru because they're both WRONG.
The white collar guys laughed when the blue collared folks had their jobs sent to China & Mexico.
No they didn't. I mean sure there's always some arseholes, but that sentiment was never there.
We told them to reskill.
What *should* "we" have told them? Those jobs went, never to come back. Should "we" have told them platitudes and lies to make them feel better? It's not like "we" could have magicked the jobs back.
So yeah the choices were reskill or never get another job. Fucking sucks. By it's still the truth.
When it happened to us the blue collared guys didn't give two shits.
That didn't happen.
Meanwhile the rich were gorging on a buffet of cheap labor all around while our middle class lives were decimated and our pensions looted.
Oh well that did. But you are confusing "white collar" with the rich. Most white collar people are middle class. Sees like you've got all mixed up in your class warfare.
It's absolutely not worth the societal cost of driving our education costs up to the moon if we aren't going to retain these people.
Yes but, it's entirely possible to retain these people without driving the societal cost up. The loans which people can't escape through bankruptcy essentially serve as a massive source of free money into the system. That's what's driving up the prces incessantly.
Trouble is no one can agree what unnecessary features are.
You might reasonably argue that anything that can be an extension should be an extension.
Unfortunately that makes Firefox out of the box kind of annoying and useless. For many users if they have to download a bunch of extensions to stop it sucking, they'll just think it sucks and go right back to chrome. So features that are technically unnecessary are socially necessary in order for Firefox to maintain its market share.
Also another thing is that Mozilla is championing the cause of the open web without spying. In practice that means they need to provide services that people like Google provide in order to do so in a way that isn't evil.
That's their reasoning and its sound in general. No idea if its sound in the case of pocket though.
Picture a house from the 1970s. Laughable style, right?
No one's disputing that old stuff can look good or be useful. Second when new houses are build they're not built to look like houses from 1970 even though we're perfectly capable of doing that.
Yet Mount Vernon is stylish almost 300 years after it was built, and always has been.
Indeed some things are timeless. Timeless enough to replicate.
For example the mid century modern style of furniture is still in production today. You have to sometimes look quite hard to tell the difference between a new piece and something made in he 1950s.
No one's busy replicating 1990s style though.
A 20-year old Ford F-150 doesn't look outdated at all
I think you've settled on a trend here though with the houses and cars: they're not changed very often. Houses just last and cars now seem to last a lot longer than they used to (blinker fluid now lasts 10,000 miles!). That's going to slow down the pace of change. People want something that looks new, not strange. So a new thing can only look a little bit beyond what's out there. Combine that with a slow turnover and you get slowing change.
AI could very easily figure "these designs have been stylish for 200 years, they just might remain stylish for another 10 or 20 years".
Sure.
But for all the Levis 501s out there, there are a thousand moon boots. I think the idea is not to spot existing levis 501s, but to make the next ones.
Getting to that though it just seems like another AI fantasy thread.
Unless we use deep learning in the cloud via a REST service running on Node.JS. Then it'll be solved.
So we should lie to and coddle people who voted for something and didn't get it? Or are referring to Trump a powerless? (doesn't seem likely). what's your point?
That's in the DMCA. The perjury clause is only about misrepresenting yourself as the owner. If you're the owner and make a false claim, it's not perjury. There's also a big penalty for not abiding by DMCA claims.
Yes it's incredibly shit. Blame whichever arseholes let it through. Especially if they're still in office.
That's *Copyright* for you? Remember the time when the DMCA and sensor Orrin Hatch where the most master things on slashdot? I'm not American and I don't know which party Hatch belongs to but the hate used to be thoroughly bipartisan. Because he's a dick.
Google are arseholes too and don't get off the hook. There's more than enough blame to go around.
Women don't need sex NEARLY as much as men do. It's not even in the same league.
Yep women don't go and do stupid things because the desire t ohave sex is so strong. that's why teenage pregnancies don't happen.
Funny thing is it's a modern invention that men are the insatiable horn-dogs. The thinking used to be that it was women who were like that. Funny how opinions can flip entirely in different civilisations.
I disagree. I disagree a *lot*.
OK...
Sexbots won't be as good as a woman, but they'll be good enough.
Good enough for what, specifically? Sure. Thing is though there's lots of ways you can get yourself off alredy. The thing one can already pay sex workers to get you off, so why not do that before the very high proced sexbots come on the market (they're not going to be cheap).
The reason is it's not about the sex, not really. It's about the person. Try to think back to your first crush. I mean you were most likely a teenager and horny as hell, but you still really really wanted to BE with that person, not just pump dump.
Good enough that a lot of men will be able to get the satisfaction they crave out of them, and leave them to look at women with a more sober eye.
Well crikey! I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree on that one. I believe I have a higher opinion of my fellow man than you do. I don't think that we men are a bunch of insatiable horn-dogs ruled entirely by our penises.
On the other hand I also seem to be more realistic about my fellow humans than you do. Good looking people tend to be more successful, both men and women. Most people aren't gay, so how do explain that?
It's going to be a particular boon to those "incels" you posses such hatred towards
They're basically a terrorist group now. As in commit and cheer on mass murder to forward their aims.
as they will lose their grievance.
Their greivance isn't about sex. Maybe that was a starting point. Their grievance is a stew of hatred towards well probably themselves, but it spews out in the direction of basically everyone else. Women and men. They hate good looking men about as much as they hate women.
Sorry, did you reply to the wrong comment? I'm not "incel" and how'd you assume that?
You kinda sounded a lot like one.
I did quite well with the ladies before I got hitched.
Ah yes bragging about prowess on slashdot. Does anything have more credibility than that?
Sexbots are going to be a revolution. Men will be able to get sex,
As will women. So the recolution might not point where you expcet...
But men (and women) won't be able to get sex with the person they want to have sex with, so that's not going to change.
Men will judge women without reference to their looks.
That sounds suspiciously like something that won't happen. Humans judge based on looks. Having advanced masturbatory aids is not going to change human nature.
I guess the part where they invented an ENTIRE NEW FUCKING LANGUAGE which allowed them to write the only multithreaded browser engine doesn't count as innovation.
And the extensions are better in firefox despite the hit they took.
How old is your computer? I'm on a 1st gen i7 Q820 (1.7GHz) with a SATA2 bus and firefox takes a few seconds to start. If it's taking 10s and your machine is even remotely modern, then something's up.
The sex bots also won't do what they expect: the claims of a grand revolution are not so likely.
Thing is sex bots solve the problem of sex, but they don't solve the problem of not having sex with a specific person, and of course all the things that usually go along with that. It won't give men the sense of self worth they believe they will get through finding a partner.
And I say men specifically because these conversations inevitably ignore that women are unable to get sex as well (fun fact, "incel" was coined but a woman about her own situation), and seem to focus on weird power dynamics that don't exist in healthy relationships. Sexbots won't magically cause those to disappear either.
No she wasn't. That's something you simply made up.
This does entertain me: part of you knows you're entirely wrong about Hillary, because you feel the need to make up extreme things about her in order to justify your position. If you felt your position was justified by actual facts, you'd use them. It's very curious that seeing that your position is not justified by facts, you don't change your position, you just start inventing facts.
It's clear to everyone that the deplorables remark was aimed at the somewhat Nazi sympathising fringe of the Alt-right. It's astonishing that you're prepared to tar everyone working class with that brush.
As long as they are not CIS-gender, white men... Or to the right of Mao or Stalin. Or eat meat. Or ever drove a truck. Or made a comment that could ever possibly make anyone feel uncomfortable. Other than that, yes - we're all equal. Especially if you choose to break 18 USC 1924 and are well-connected, politically - that makes you more equal than others!
My gosh you're delicate! It seems that if anyone says anything you disagree with you seem to believe that you're suffering a lifetime of oppression from it. I hope for your sake you don't see any actual oppression. It's quite clear that you'd be utterly unable to cope.
That's so sad that left-wing identity politics successfully intimidated you into self censorship.
Indeed: you are the arbiter of all truth. People either speak your truth or they self censor. There is no possibility people actually disagree with your worldview.
Imagine, hundreds of single men with bad game just stop feeding the egos of all these women on social media
Yep, women *love* being creeped on on social media.
nstead buy a robot that looks like a straight 10 that will cook, clean, and well **** without complaining.
If you're looking to get your lazy ass out of cleaning you can pay someone to do that for you already. I do. You don't need to wait for the robot revolution.
You can get people to cook for you too. And if you're happy to pay to fuck there are in fact people who will do that already.
But I must say, if those men just want a "straight 10" who cooks, cleans and fucks on demand and by the sounds of it, nothing else, it's no wonder they're still single. It's not a lack of game that makes them single.

But I do admire your chutzpah it's not everyone who will try an "it's wrong because I don't like it" argument
I do admire your chutzpah to deeply misrepresent what I said. Let me spell it out for you again.

From Java? No. Doesn't tick any of the boxes that made Java the major Enterprise language
Indeed, consider for example this comparison:

Has factory factory factories: [X] Java [ ] Node.js
Has final property object factory factory observer delegate: [X] Java [ ] Node.js
None of the boxes at all.
