  6. Re:It always seems kinda racist to me ... on The 'Human Computer' Behind the Moon Landing Was a Black Woman (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 2

    I'm well aware of the history. As is any sane person, obviously.

    See, you're doing it wrong. And you're missing entirely why. If you (and many others) keep pointing to history instead of looking forward and keep pointing to racial differences while being well intentioned you're actually keeping them alive. Much more so than actual racists, who are intellectually easier to ignore.

    If we, as people, have the discipline to raise 1 or 2 generations of people who aren't told how truely remarkable it is when a black person does something, they won't see it as remarkable and just view it as normal. google 'morgan freeman black history'. He says it best; stop talking about it. Stop talking about how black history is somehow separate from white history. It is American history.

    Now, having said that, I agree this strategy will cause some historical people (like this woman) to get less credit than they deserve, because only an idiot would argue it was just as hard for her than it was a white male.

    But as long as we keep getting stuck in that mud, we're not getting anywhere.

  7. It always seems kinda racist to me ... on The 'Human Computer' Behind the Moon Landing Was a Black Woman (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful
    ... to write these things as being remarkable. She's black and a woman. Impossibru, she must be as dumb as a door nail!

    I have no doubt they have good intentions writing this, though. But still.

  8. How does that work? on Amazon's IoT Hacking Contest Won By Voice-Controlled Drone (thenewstack.io) · · Score: 1

    You just say: "hey drone, go hack IoT devices!" and then it does so really well?

  12. Re:Is this a good idea? on How To Make Messages Easy For an Alien Race To Understand (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    I would think the biggest weakness from the get go is that they have the tech to come here, not the other way around. They know it and you know it. I would discourage to make yourself 'look bigger, meaner or scarier than you actually are' lest you wish the resolve the first contact situation with minus 1 planet.

  13. You spent too much time on your computer and on slashdot. Looking at the average thread, half of the comments is yours!

  14. groundbreaking == new? on Chinese Girl Receives Full Skull Reconstruction Via 3D Printing · · Score: 1

    Because this has been done several times before already. In the US for example, or just last year in The Netherlands. (you might need google translate).

  16. But, but? on In-Database R Coming To SQL Server 2016 · · Score: 1

    How about introducing schema-less tables in 2016? Are we going to have to store fuzzy data in a silly full-text search enabled field forever?

    I agree really. My dev laptop from work runs 7. My two home laptop run 8.1. 7 feels old now to me.

  20. Re:First post? Really? on How Civilizations Can Spread Across a Galaxy · · Score: 1

    I think he's joking. As in, he thought about it carefully, and then decided 'first post' was a thoughtful response. Thereby purposely making his comment ironic.

  21. Reminds me of a joke... on Study: Birds Slur Their Songs When Drunk, Just Like Humans · · Score: 2

    What's the difference between a Genie and a Genius? A Genie grants wishes and a Genius wishes for grants. (ba-dum *tish*)

    Anyway, I'm all pro fundamental research, but who pays for a research where they are going to feed birds alcohol?

    Lol, so you guys finally discovered it! Well you're too late, haha. I am now going to invest my points in heart failure and liver failure and your doctors will never have a cure in time!

  23. Angular on Famo.us: Do We Really Need Another JavaScript Framework? · · Score: 2

    Nope, not after AngularJs you don't. Not another framework needed. After huge loads of jquery before I ever knew what a client-side architecture was, and then knockout and backbone. I found my home with Angular. I know that will be developed and fine-grained further by both professionals AND the community.

    And it already kicks ass. Pretty sweet...

  24. Like swimming on Average HS Student Given Little Chance of AP CS Success · · Score: 1

    I believe two things should be just as important as swimming lessons for kids: coding and judo. Judo because it challenges them physically, improves their confidence and helps them recognize conflicts. Coding because it helps their creativity and computer literacy. In a perfect world, everyone eventually learns how to automate their tasks (or at least to some degree). My two cents though.
