  1. Re: Yes and no... on Equifax CEO Hired a Music Major as the Company's Chief Security Officer · · Score: 1

    You do know that diversity hiring doesn't mean we just hire anybody? The qualifications for the job don't just become "A woman" or "A person of color". That is not how it works in the real world, even if you for a second honestly naively believe that devoid of diversity hiring policies, employers hire the person with the best qualifications or most experience in the first place.

  2. Once we get things back to correct levels and take care of our citizens, then

    Which will be never, since "correct levels" is a nebulous and impossible to define term.

    And tax money isn't an allowance to citizens. It builds things everyone uses and services everyone uses, so pretending that it puts some people in front of others is overly simplistic at best or disingenuous at worst.

  3. "Of course, we'd do it properly."

    Given that humans rarely do anything perfectly, and accidents happen whether through negligence or not, nuclear will always be riskier and more dangerous than other forms of power generation.

  4. You'd think a tech news site fulla nerds would be able to google:

  7. Re:How many times? on Energy Drinks May Trigger Future Substance Use, Says Study (medscape.com) · · Score: 1

    There are different degrees of "may." Treating all uses of "may" as equivalent is intellectually dishonest, something you accuse the summary of. "Driving faster may increase risk of injuries in a crash" is more reasonable than "staring at the sun may trigger improved gaming skills", even if for the sake of argument the former isn't proven causation.

  8. Re: Good Job on Neo-Nazi Site The Daily Stormer Moves To Dark Web After Shutdown (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    That new The Atlantic article, "How America Lost It's Mind" is a really good article about how feelings have been embraced as a valid form of truth in the states.

    By default, no class was protected. But then we noticed some classes needed protection, because they were being treated like shit by people like you. Because as a society, we're not heartless animals, we created legal constructs such as protected classes to help those people.

    No classes are protected in humanity's "default state" because classes don't exist. We define them, and we decide who needs protecting. It's all so complicated to stupid people.

    Are you trying to pack in how many ways you can be wrong in the most efficient manner possible?

  13. Nazis are real. Jedi's are make believe. If somebody calls themselves a nazi, I'm not going to sit around and wait for them to start taking over a country and gassing people to prove the name applies.

    Because we self select, and don't hire the best programmers.

  15. See? It's useless! Laws of influence are useless! Preventing lobbying is useless! Just hand it over to the companies - it's the more honest corruption. It is incredible how successfully beaten down you folks are. Seeing a government blamed for doing what any government would do abject support for strong protections from influence peddling at the bidding of the private sector is fascinating.

    The voters.

    The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

    The greatest trick corperate America ever pulled was convincing the electorate that it was useless to try and separate the influence of money from representative politics. Because you guys now believe it can't be done, you're convinced the best way is by handing everything over to private interests. I can't think of hotter wet dream for an oligarchy.

    The actual reason these apps are ballooning is size is because developers nowadays are complete shit and don't understand code reuse, optimisation or assembly language.
