When Google purchased Usenet archives from DejaNews, it was believed they would make them as accessible as the current web content is. However, as is clear from even a cursory search of the Usenet archives, Google has apparently decided to let a lot of it slide into the bit-bucket or at least render the search results practically unusable. Indeed, it would appear that some individuals -- I am thinking specifically of some guys at Yale -- managed to get their posts from the early 90s expunged. These weren't minors. They were guys who undoubtedly went on to become powerful members of society.
Now, I understand that Google has every right to dump the Usenet archives down the memory hole, and to protect the Yalees as they enter into positions of trust and authority, but the problem is that prior to their purchase, there existed an informal social network among early Internet admins that tried to ensure that the entire archive was redundantly copied across multiple institutions. They tended to get together at the annual Hackers' Conference is Santa Rosa. That informal effort was abandoned apparently on the assumption that Google could be trusted.
Ah, well. At least the Yalees got into their positions of trust and authority.
Holocaust deniers keep prattling on about how hard it would be to incinerate 6 million Jews. They full of sh*t because, as Nazis, Holocaust deniers know about the secret Nazi weapon that could vaporize entire cities and boil oceans. With such a super Nazi death ray it was a sinch to vaporize millions of human bodies.
We've been suffering from mass hysteria ever since Hollywood got distribution channels into every hamlet in the country. What would be surprising is if people didn't go really hysterical once they started getting a little freedom and started thinking for themselves about how they've been manipulated for over a century.
That's what God wants. It says it in the Bible that Jews are His Chosen People. We can believe the Bible because Jews wrote it and who can doubt God's Chosen People but those who are working for Satan or Nazis?
girlintraining recites: "I would like to point out that in any place that is poverty-stricken, not blending in is a big problem. A black guy wandering around a trailer park will attract just as much trouble from the people that live there."
Sure you can point out false data if you want.
Its people like you that are served by the Obama administration's decision to stop the FBI from publishing crime statistics tables that include a column for race.
Are you proud of your militant ignorance? Does it make you feel righteous?
You didn't read the article yourself since it applies not just to Title VII but also to Title VIII. The reason it is so applicable is that it is necessary to adopt operational definitions for jurisprudence as attempting to impute "intent" i,s otherwise, non-justicable.
Moreover, the principle of "disparate impact" goes under another, more widely applied, name of "institutional racism" which is, in its very essence, an outcome-oriented definition of "racism". This brings "racism" out of mere "intent" or "belief", as a matter of public discourse, and into the realm of objective outcome.
That's not the standard definition of racism as is made obvious by the pervasive use of the phrase "Institutional Racism" which is oriented toward outcome -- which is what any operational definition must entail. The definition of "racism" as a set of beliefs about differences between the races is, of course, a silly definition since it is never used in that way. It is always used to connote (rather than denote) the belief that one race is, in some ultimate sense, "superior" to others.
It doesn't matter whether you are discriminating on non-racial criteria. If such discrimination has a "disparate impact" on a racial basis, it is racist.
I find it offensive that you would disseminate information about how to circumvent the NSA's need to know what is going on to protect us. In truth, aren't you accusing the government of a conspiracy? What's the difference between that and accusing Jews of an international Jewish conspiracy? Are you going to start loading up government employees and officials into box cars and transport them to "relocation" camps? Its a slippery slope you're on!
The Supreme Court is not supreme over the Constitution. The Supreme Court can rule on CASES and even then its rulings are not law. State nullification is an option. Presidential nullification is an option. Congress can even rule that the Supreme Court cannot hear cases relating to specific areas.
The Constitution is there in plain English for anyone to read and it is silly to believe that the original intent of it, or of any of the Amendments, was to so violate State powers.
Agreed, a lot of people are cowed by their high school "civics education" into believing otherwise, but there, again, high school teachers aren't supreme over the Constitution either.
Since there is no rule of law, as is obviously the case given the Constitution grants no powers to the Federal government to regulate intrastate manufacture and use of drugs, what's keeping people in power alive?
Spreading deadly diseases from country to country -- allowing them to evolve increasing virulence through horizontal transmission -- is a small price to pay for open borders.
Just to be clear -- as I do watch Breaking Bad -- the way I watch it is on Netflix. However, when I go to Netflix the last episode I can get is called "Season 5, Episode 8 'Gliding All Over'" and apparently this was aired, not last night, but last year. So when people talk about "the UK where Netflix had it within hours of the US premier" and we're worried about "pirating", I'd say: Well, what do you expect when someone pays for Netflix and "Breaking Bad" has an entire year delay? Now, I haven't pirated "Breaking Bad" but after seeing this/. article, having a paid subscription to Netflix (US) and being one episode of watching away from S5E8 and a year long wait, I am considering it.
This guy is a ray of light from the younger generation. He's avoided grappling with the hard problem of shared memory latency, but other than that, he's doing pretty good.
You have to deal with shared memory latency to handle a wide range of modeling problems, not the least of which is real-time multicore ray tracing like this.
1981-1983 I was the local support team leader in Miami for the Space Studies Institute sponsoring public awareness events about space settlement. Some punk gave his valedictorian speech on space settlement during Miami Palmetto Senior High School's 1982 graduation ceremonies.
Your anecdote would have been instructive to someone in the 1970s, before mass immigration replaced the children that should have been born to the now aging baby boom generation:
Silicon valley was the place to form a family (with a female from the upper bay area -- not from the male-saturated engineering ghetto of the lower bay area) for young engineers for precisely the reason you describe.
Nowadays, however, there are other -- major -- factors to consider. Your anecdote is more akin to a slot machine blaring that someone hit the jackpot in a casino -- something the casino owners make sure happens. You'll need to provide more information on yourself and your experience than a decades-old strategy that I know is atypical, from looking at the cohort of boomer engineers -- many of whom made major contributions to building Silicon Valley -- who have been driven from the area they helped build from the 1970s.
My personal dilemma is that one of the few ways I can capitalize on my 40 years experience in computer programming is to make money training young people to go into the software profession.
Its hard to explain to folks who see my resume and employment status why I refuse to accept money to train train local young people.
First of all people aren't used to people with ethics. So they don't understand why I wouldn't want to take money from kids by leading them into pauperism.
Secondly they've been led to believe that domestic programmers with equal skills have an equal shot at the high income positions that are going to foreign aggressors. Its one of those things that's just too depressing to admit to one's self about the horror of the government's oppression of the citizens. This is especially true in rural areas where almost every family has a young man who has served in the military and either killed, or been indoctrinated that is is ok to kill for the government (if they, themselves haven't been permanently disabled if not killed).

Anyone who thinks there is immigrant displacement of US workers is a neo-Nazi sympathizer at best.
No Nazi death rays? Damn, I was hoping for a new sub-genre of Holocaust movie with really cool CGI effects.

Disparate impact is a general principle that is not limited to employment. It is an operational definition of racism.

So the real question is:
Who wrote the first page ranked search engine and if they weren't Google then why didn't they end up dominating?

Snark.
To the "How can a nerd get a date?" question.
Spreading deadly diseases from country to country -- allowing them to evolve increasing virulence through horizontal transmission -- is a small price to pay for open borders.
The greater wisdom of those who open the borders is not to be questioned.
Am I missing something?
