  1. Re:The real benefit to this system on A Computer Umpires Its First Pro Baseball Game · · Score: 0

    Oh bull fucking shit. Most fans would love to see the ump removed. We don't want to see a changing strike zone. We want a consistent strike zone! Sounds like a troll for the umpires union.

  2. Re:Not new to professional baseball on A Computer Umpires Its First Pro Baseball Game · · Score: 1

    Somebody can't read. It's the first time a computer called a game. That's the point. We have the technology and should be using it, not leaving it up to umps that have widely varying strike zones.

    Really? That's why the price of 4K TVs have been going through the roof....sorry Potsy, demand for a product helps drive the cost down. When supply is limited, that's when costs go up.

    Seriously? Exxon Mobile makes BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in NET profits per quarter and they still get a subsidy! Give me a break. The oil industry not longer needs subsidies. That's a bull shit argument for keeping the subsidies in place.

    "In the course of the email review, State Department officials determined that some information in the messages should be retroactively classified. In the 3,000 pages that were released, for example, portions of two dozen emails were redacted because they were upgraded to “classified status.” But none of those were marked as classified at the time Mrs. Clinton handled them." http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07...

  15. AN OPINION PIECE AS FACT? on The Science and Politics Behind Colony Collapse Disorder; Is the Crisis Over? · · Score: 1

    How far we have fallen. Bee keepers think it's a concern: "There are still many concerns amongst beekeepers regarding the potential chronic and sub-lethal impact of pesticides and agrochemicals (particularly systemic insecticides such as neonicotinoids). Documented incidents of pesticide exposure and colony damage during the regular season in recent years (2009 to 2013)in the provinces of Quebec, Ontario,and Manitoba have contributed to these concerns. There are concerns amongst some beekeepers, particularly in Ontario and Quebec , that exposure to neonicotinoid insecticides during the spring and summer may lead to increased stress to colonies contributing to winterloss.

    You really are an ass. Come to the real world sometime and you will see that people are being asked to multi-task all the time. The assumption is that people can multi-task and that performance does not suffer because of multi-tasking. What we are discovering is that, that is not true. Performance suffers when people try to multi-task.

  19. Re:Music? on Study: Push Notifications As Distracting As Taking a Call · · Score: 1

    No. RTA. "These results indicated that stimulative music is a stronger distractor and obstructs cognitive processing more than sedative music does." http://www.studentpulse.com/ar... So it depends on the music one is listening to.

    Bottom line, anything that distacts you from the task at hand, impairs your ability, contrary to what you may think.

  20. The wording is correct. She was contacted by a recruiter. Does not mean she got the job. Unlike you, she was contacted for a position and was told she was an ideal candidate - 4 separate times. If she wasn't good enough the first 3 times, why on earth would she be good the 4th time. I smell the Rooney rule here. Only way clarify the situation is to evaluate the people that where hired instead. Age discrimination is a very real thing.
