    > regardless of whether they have a student in the school system

    There's such a thing as lowering the barrier to input too much.

  2. Re: Media trust. on The Guardian Backtracks On WhatsApp 'Backdoor' Report (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    This is a dumb thing to say on an article about a newspaper making corrections. If anything, there are no institutions more transparent and beholden to scrutiny than the press. I mean, if you probably shouldn't trust anything you read, if you can't figure that out, if only because you're a poor judge of information .

    I love the idea of somebody telling an oil company that they don't know how to make money.

    Classic example of somebody who wants to deal with the world they way they wish it was, not the way it is.

    When the comparison is favorable, you never hear the end of it. When the comparison is unfavorable, it becomes "impossible to compare".

    Dude, if you don't even know the basic order of events things happened in, you might want to reconsider the value of your opinions.

  10. Re:Questionable on The Public Is Growing Tired of Trump's Tweets, Says Voter Survey (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'm pretty sure that anything that doesn't kiss Trumps feet is simply deemed a known opponent of Trump. Often in a revisionist way, such as with rupublican-friendly Politico here.

    If Trump had said anything bad about him self, your post would have started, "This is Trump, a known opponent of Trump."

    which went almost unnoticed by the MSM.

    Depends which MSM you're talking about. Everyone but Fox covered it, which is pretty much what you'd expect.

    This is weapons grade stupidity. People who commit terrorist acts use the internet, have cellphones, all that.

    Hey, if you'd rather be "principled" and unemployed rather than adaptive and employed, I guess that's your call.

    I don't work in web or mobile - more in older traditional languages and programming environments, but even I'm not stupid enough to think that there's such a thing as "the good old days" with respect to technology. It's all the same shit - or, to be well adjusted, it's all the same cool stuff.

  20. Re:Why yes indeed on Can Older IT Workers 'Navigate' Ageism? (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    That's nice of you to show why the perception that older people are inflexible and stubborn has some basis in reality.

  21. That's a mere 0.007% of the global population over 10 years. You're not really making a dent in anything you profess to care about - and if you really did care about it that much, you'd know that reducing poverty and improving education are two far more effective tools in containing population. You're not a jerk, but you're also not very bright.

    large companies seem drawn to the most expensive locations

    The most expensive locations are where people are making the most money. Salaries and cost of living are not independent numbers.

    But he was at work, for the government, he's supposed to do a mediocre job. You're posting on slashdot. You're supposed to be slightly less stupid.
