Perhaps you don't understand how the Slashdot moderation system works. We are the moderators. And you are free to mod down any comments that you feel are trolling, incitefull or just off topic.
structural racism
I don't see anything in the design of Slashdot that excludes any particular group. In fact, we don't even require that you identify yourself by race or gender anymore. So there is nothing about this forum that excludes anyone.
Boeing surplus (when it had a retail store) sequestered most of the 'good stuff' in the back for 'institutional' auctions. Same thing with the University of Washington surplus. I think eBay killed the retail surplus shops. Not with lower prices and a wider selection so much as the people reselling surplus as a business whined about retail customers undercutting them by buying stuff for their own use.
I go to a couple of live estate auctions when there's something good. They are loaded with eBay resellers. And if you show up and they figure out that you are buying for your own use they treat you like a leper.
... they haven't resorted to tracking their citizens when overseas. India's government are a bunch of pikers when it comes to real surveillance of their populace.
This is slightly different than tetrachromacy. Birds can see into the UV range. But the puffins' beaks are fluorescing in the visible (to humans) spectrum. UV reflectivity is a different thing and that would result in patterns not visible to humans being perceived by birds. But that wouldn't be testable using the methods proposed in TFA. You'd still need a camera with a UV sensor to record UV reflective patterns.
Since this fluorescent effect only presents itself under low visible light/high UV light conditions, the question is: where does one find such an environment? The answer might be; under water. Short wavelength light penetrates water to a greater extent than longer (redder) light. And since puffins feed under water, this effect might be useful to attract prey.
In the hands of responsible programmers. But what happens if you need to run a bash script from a character based console?
Too many simple utilities have morphed from: Here's a command-line tool, and here's an optional graphical UI that runs on top of it. Next, we'll merge the graphics right into the basic tool's codebase. So you need to link every hair-brained graphics lib to build it. Finally, the damned thing will refuse to run (even if you use all the text-only command line switches) if it can't find a bitmapped display.
CEOs are often surrounded by sycophants. Much like a king's court, they serve to filter the information that reaches the ruler. And often, particularly if they have their own agenda, they can steer decisions to suit themselves.
It gives US law enforcement the right to demand that US owned service providers hand over data. No matter where they might store it.
One solution might be to get yourself an e-mail account directly with an ISP in Dublin. Or Frankfurt. Just make sure that they aren't a subsidiary* of a US corporation.
Or you could just do like Hillary and run your own e-mail server in your basement.
*This might become a moot point if EU privacy regulations end up banning US corporations from owning cloud providers located in Europe. I don't see where the CLOUD act is restricted to subpoenas applying only to US persons. If an EU citizen has a Facebook account, what stops US law enforcement from saying "gimme"?

Your legal standing changes somewhat when you swear in. At least that's what my attorney, Justin Volk V, advises.
Lawsuit? That's for pikers.
Just catch FB following someone with a security clearance around and selling that info to a Chinese front company.

Oh, you wanted a payload adapter that actually works? That'll be extra.
This.

toss your cell phone and wallet onto the floor in front of the seat
My cell phone and wallet are in my holster. I suppose I could give my kid my Glock to play with while I drive.
If they tried, they'd undoubtedly fail miserably and end up creating an excellent product.
Yeah. Put this together with the back seat alarm and I won't have to think about my kid ever again.

Same motivation at work here: attracting prey.
California just discovered another source of revenue.
Not only that. But a lamppost ran into a drunk recently.

selling for twice as much as suggested retail
In dollars or Bitcoin?
If humans want to survive, we need to get 10+ LY away
In which direction? That supernova you were worried about? You might step right into the middle of another one.

I found a live webcam feed of sheep.
How much to opt out of Facebook altogether?
The military still hasn't solved the problem of handing weapons to people like William Calley Jr. Robots are a ways down on my list of concerns.
