    Who cares what he has to say? He was a pro-slavery guy who was trying to defend the use of slaves in America. I am sure that isn't what the article intended the phrase to be. Why would the article writer use that term? That is offensive in itself.

    What? Do you think that slavery doesn't exist today? Wow, I forgot how ignorant people are.

  3. "peculiar institution"? on Python Joins Movement To Dump 'Offensive' Master, Slave Terms (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How is slavery America's "peculiar institution"? Slavery has existed for centuries in many countries. It still exists to this day, even though people continue to ignore it.

  4. You don't need to "test" Hyperloop to know it is a stupid idea to implement. Common sense will tell you that. Hyperloop is a concept that goes back to the 1800s, it isn't new. The reason it was never implemented is because people weren't stupid enough to put money in it. But today there are people will excess money and egos that will fund anything. In addition, public money is put into these boondoggles and people like Musk hope to get more of that as well.

  5. You sure love that guy. Hero worship is fascinating.

    Sweet, now I can throw away my old iPhone X, or maybe sell it on eBay. It was getting kind of boring.

    There must be some governmental funding behind this "Vector Institute". I've never heard of such BS. More pigs feeding at the trough.

  9. Re:Buggy Whip Science on Actuarial Science Ranked As Most Valuable College Major (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Uh huh. The funny thing is that all these jobs are STILL HERE, even though "AI" is here. I mean, just buy a Watson license from IBM and you can get rid of those pesky employees. Yeah right. It is almost like AI is complete BS or something.

  10. I just checked with Xfininty and they offer 1Gbps internet at that address, greenwow. Why do you pretend it isn't you posting this every time? We all know you are the "slow Internet in Seattle guy".

  11. I don't know why. I live in Seattle and I have four providers with 1 GB Internet connections to choose from. Seattle has great Internet thanks to the Directors Rules and the city council.

    Remote sensing of the Antarctic ice sheet has been going on for decades, because scientists know if the ice sheet changes we are all in for big trouble. It would be a catastrophic event.

  13. This can be used as a baseline for climate change study.

    Wait. I must be missing something. Where did you think the police, NSA, etc get their data from? Did you think they were cracking encrypted traffic? You guys are so naive. They are getting the data from the endpoints (the big tech companies).

    Yeah, plus Morton was known as a job hopper. He only worked 23 years at his last job at Seagate (a public company). He just took another job at a pre-IPO company today. I don't know why he didn't stick around. TSLA is going to $4000 and his options would have been worth billions. I guess he just isn't interested in money.

  22. Those silly shorts. They keep using Slashdot to drive down the stock. We all know that investment houses read Slashdot for investment advice!

    Me too. $256.11 will be a bargain when the stock hits $4000 as it is expected to do.

  24. It didn't plunge. The stock might be down a bit now, but think of it as being on sale. One analyst recently analyzed that the stock will be worth $4000 per share. I tend to agree. EVs, batteries, solar and green energy are the future.

  25. This, plus the recent breakthroughs in AI, will usher in a new period of computing.
