Alternatively, the government could nationalise the company. But then that would be 'interfering with the free market' which is obviously functioning really well here.
Twitter has never generated a profit and loses money every year. This proposal changes nothing. Twitter is still a useless turd.
That is logical if you believe that nothing should exist unless it makes a profit. It's the sort of attitude that is slowly destroying the internet and turning it into purely a virtual shopping mall.
The #1 risk factor for drug use is a high IQ. They are a coping mechanism for having to live among the retarded masses.
Interesting spin on the classic slashdot "I am so unbelievably clever that I got bored and left school early without taking any sheeple-fodder exams, which is why I am unemployed and living in my parents' basement" argument.
Except the dude is an engineer. He's an electrical engineer
I think the reason this causes so much gnashing and wailing of teeth on slashdot is that there are a lot of people here who are successful coders/programmers/software architects or whatever with no actual written qualifications as such.
So, on the normal slashdot basis that if it doesn't apply to me it's not true, there is nothing wrong with calling yourself an engineer as long as you've done some engineering.
He is fully qualified as an engineer - with a degree from a top-notch university.
No, that does not make him a fully qualified engineer. If I have a law degree that does not mean I am a fully qualified lawyer, and if I have a medical degree that does not mean I am a fully qualified doctor.
I've been particularly amused by the shift in the Evening Standards reporting from entirely pro-Tory to being opposed to anyone that slighted George Osborne during his time in government (i.e. most of the Tory party).
With the arrival of widespread access to the internet, I'd have thought that the Evening Appallingly-Low-Standards had lost its one purpose in life, i.e. flat sharing ads.
I was in several situations where ability to connect the my phone to the AV system saved the day
I once improvised a hunting sling out of my phone and the headphone cable and managed to kill a rampaging cobra just before it massacred a group of toddlers. If I'd had to fiddle around with an adapter, it could have been a very different story.

Absolutely nothing, because the alleged perpetrator was born in the UK.
Clearly, here in the UK we need to go further than a mere travel ban, and actually start deporting anyone with foreign parents. Or grandparents. Or great-grandparents. Or...
But people with Saxon or Viking ancestry are OK because they're blonde haired and blue eyed and just happen to have non-brown skin..
you werent paying attention the past 8 years. literally anything anyone brought up against the previous admin resulted in people being called racist. i said i disagreed with obamacare- called racist.
So there are basically two possibilities:
1. You did in fact say something racist while criticising obamacare.
2. The person calling you racist is an idiot, or somehow misunderstood what you said.
The only way to tell is to link to your original comment and the reply calling you a racist.
Partially disagree. It's malicious but that doesn't mean Trump isn't stupid too.
Trump is not stupid. He is an asshole narcissistic bullshit artist. I would add sociopathic but that would be redundant, as he was a CEO.
It depends on what your definition of stupid is. He comes across as brighter than George W Bush or Ronald Reagan, but then again so do many small shrubberies.
This woman replied that she thought it was gross of me to refer to the woman in my life using the term "My" which implied that she was a possession, not a human being.
If there was ever a time to roll your eyes and walk away, this would have been it. Regardless of how close a friend they were, do you really need that kind of idiocy in your life?
It is not compulsory or even usual to be friends with your friends' partners.
This woman replied that she thought it was gross of me to refer to the woman in my life using the term ["my wife"] which implied that she was a possession...
One of my favorite sayings is "don't complain without having an alternative ready".
I'll agree that phrase is a bit awkward, but what's an alternative that doesn't introduce new forms of awkwardness and/or confusion? "The lady I'm married to" is long-winded: "That's a good idea, I'll run the plan by the lady I'm married to and get back to you."
If I called my wife "the lady I'm married to" I imagine she'd deck me.
Who has the medical license, the AI or the Dr. using it ? You don't sue the gun manufacturer, or the stethoscope company, they are just tools used by the licensed to 'practice' medicine doctor.
I know you Yanks love your guns, but how the fuck does a doctor use one to practise medicine?
Exactly. It also depends a bit on what you mean by 'AI'. If you mean 'correlation engine' (which seems to be what the media means most of the time it says AI), then whoever decided that it's safe to use it without checking that there's any causal relationship and deployed it without human oversight. If you mean 'expert system', then it's just another tool and depends heavily on the input from the doctor or nurse to work towards a diagnosis. If it goes wrong, either the tool was faulty or the operator was incompetent.
My theory is that no one should be allowed to use the term "AI" until an actual AI can convincingly argue for it.

if someone is harassing you then you should call the police.
Surely you should shoot them dead first, and wait for some passing socialist to phone the so-called law enforcement authorities?

I haven't bothered reading CSM for years.
Have they changed their policy with regards to health related news? Or are they still virulently anti-science on that subject?
Reading something called the Christian Science Monitor for health related news makes as much sense as reading the Catholic Herald for abortion advice.

The MOST important thing to know about ENGLISH newspapers is their headlines SCREAM every few words like they have TOURETTES
That's because they're trying to be nice to foreigners. It is a well known fact that anyone will understand English if you say it loudly enough.

Jesus was born in a stable. That doesn't make him a horse.
No but it does mean that he was born in Bethlehem.
Slashdot is an echo chamber for triggered special snowflakes these days.
Yes, I'm getting tired of all the whiny Trump supporters too.

it boils down to the bottom in anal being described as somehow subservient or weaker than the top
Quite what that has to do with Putin sticking his dick in Trump's mouth I'm not sure.

Honestly, if Clinton had won, could you see Limbaugh, say, describing her as a "cock-holster"?
If she was acting like Putin's little sex slave, then why not?
Yes. It was a homophobic 'joke' according to SJW's
It was only homophobic to people who assume that oral sex is only for homosexuals.
Isn't a man receiving oral sex from another man pretty much homosexual by definition?
The reason it's funny is that Trump, and even more Putin, would be offended at being called gay.
Anger makes people not funny as they lose detachment necessary for humor.
Completely untrue. Lenny Bruce and Bill Hicks (for example) were both angry and funny.
Going back to Roman times, satire stems from anger, not detachment.
It's not hate speech because hate speech doesn't exist. Hate is subjective.
So when (to take an obvious example) the Nazis were whipping up hatred against Jews, that wasn't hate speech?
