wishing both sides the best, I will be watching it in the news
Which means you're going to be exposed to a massive liberal bias, unless you take time to watch sources from both sides and try to find where the truth lies.
The internet has basically become a utility so critical that it's almost impossible to go without, so the ISPs will be able to jack up rates because they know you have no choice but to pay or lose access to a massive variety of services that no longer even have physical equivalents anymore.
The problem with this is that net neutrality removes a big incentive for the ISP to build and improve their network. It's just like what happened in Venezuela when the government forced stores to sell flat screen TV for $50 so the poors could get nice TV; what do you think happened, most TV manufacturers went bankrupt or simply stopped selling their stuff in Venezuela. Now you can find some $50 TV if you wait in line but they're total shit. That's the internet with net neutrality, an expensive network that nobody wants to pay for.
I think there's some kind of middle ground here that nobody seems interested to look into. Black and white, as usual.
If you cannot beat him in the realm of ideas, no amount of protests, slogans, and stunts will help.
That's how it works nowadays. Lynch mobs show up to conferences and panels, then use bullhorns and sirens and chants to silence them. And when it's not enough, the sewer of humanity (the antifas) show up with glass bottles and 2x4 to physically attack people.
There is no room for discussion and this is 100% because of immature liberals. You would hope that those among the liberals that have some form of common sense would condemn those antidemocratic, anti-free speech behavior, but they're not. It is a sad day when the KKK and neonazis shows more restraint and respect for difference than liberal protesters. Don't expect better when it comes to this net neutrality issue.
No it's not. They serve different purposes and are both excellent products.
For instance, MongoDB is awesome in the way it caches data and how the powerful engine allows for complex queries. It's also a lot easier to scale out than Postgres, allowing a mix of nodes to handle various workloads, such as having a few in-memory ones for the bulk of read requests.
Meanwhile Postgres is a terrific RDBMS. Just compare the supported precision in numerical datatypes between Postgres and Oracle. Postgres: "up to 131072 digits before the decimal point; up to 16383 digits after the decimal point". Oracle: "up to 38 digits of precision".
Do you have compelling evidence that security incidents are less reported when Windows is involved than when other technologies are involved? Because otherwise your point is meaningless, and in any event it doesn't warrant uppercases.
Microsoft as an OS vendor (I know I'll get attacks from various ACs that think any criticism of MS is unfair
If you take a minute to look at the bulk of major incidents in the last year, it's mostly poorly configured Mongodb and S3 buckets. No SQL Server, MS Exchange or IIS in the list. There's the occasional ransomware but given the market share of Microsoft products, it's not bad at all.
The billionaire media mogul behind such popular sites as Expedia, Match.com and HomeAdvisor
All of those are now mostly obsolete, their business models completely disrupted by new players. I'm not sure that guy is a reference when it comes to predicting the future.
Sounds more like perception calibration to me. Now that "it's fixed", every individual case will be either discarded or treated as an exception, and you can bet that the fanboi patrol will make sure to bury them in internet forums and social media.
In the case of the major tech firm I used to work for, it was always quietly dealt with or outright swept under the rug, paying a quiet settlement and forcing the victim into a nondisclosure agreement. The victimizer got a slap on the wrist but was consideres too important to let go.
So what is the problem here? The victim was compensated. It would be a different story if the victim was fired under false pretense.
What more do you need? Public shaming of the person who misbehaved? Firing them, even though it would hurt the company more than keeping them (as is implied by their decision)? I don't know in what kind of retarded homeschooled environment you grew up but this is how business works: cost vs benefit. You can bet that if the company had the option to NOT have this kind of incident happen they would take it, nobody wants this kind of aggravation.
Any post that uses the terms SJW, snowflake, cuck or cupcake non-ironically can be skipped immediately as it will be offtopic/flamebait/troll.
I was being ironic. Google doesn't have a SJW agenda, I thought it was obvious that they appropriated the SJW culture to further their corporate agenda of greed and ruthless pursuit of market dominance.
and often only translated half of what I was trying to ask
The guy was probably asking questions that are not compatible with Google's SJW agenda. They've done internal purges to get rid of dissenters and have tried to force Hollywood to embed their diversity propaganda in movies and TV shows, it was just a matter of time before they did it in their own products.
Again, the SJW mod crowd shows they are idiots, but on one thing, you're right. It is a racist term, but it's racist against white people' specially, South African and Rhodesian whites.
Subculture slang is not relevant out of its cultural context. There's a handful of well-known ethnic slurs and we don't need more. It's possible to narrow down to cover smaller populations (such as ice chinks for inuit) but you can't use localized versions for groups that are already covered by a top-level label, otherwise you're just creating confusion.
Also I would like to point out that an ethnic slur is not the same as a racist term. Just like it's not sexist to call a woman a cunt, it's not racist to call an Asian a chink. It's rude but that's not the same as racist. I guarantee you that there's people in nice offices that will silently pass on a resume if the name sounds ebonic or latino but that would never say "the n word", while there's blue collar workers calling each other "pollocks" or "fucking sand n-word" without an ounce of discrimination in mind.
swarms of killer microdrones are dispatched to kill political activists and U.S. lawmakers
I know that deadly scenario is scary and romantic, but really, what is more likely to happen is swarms of microdrones delivering chicken mcnuggets and tubes of k-y, not killing political activists.

there are Nazis that commit terrorist attacks in the US in broad daylight these days
Yes. And ironically they call themselves "antifas".

He's too busy grabbing all the pussies for that shit.
Still waiting for his MeToos.
70% is a lot more than half. In this case the difference between half and 70% is a casual 129,000,000 duplicated files.
Kudos for not going in mega-clickbait mode, but still, "nearly 3/4 or more than 2/3" would be a better title.
But I was told MongoDB was web-scale!
And the security incidents are web-scale too!

If you are an attractive female, everything in that sock drawer is a hot currency on the right exchange, such as craigslist.
Jail the Uber execs.
Let's put that on hold until they hire Marissa Mayer
I'm in California and last November was the first time in over 20 years I was able to vote.
And we all saw what happened.

Isn't this story taking place in Colorado?
it's now part of IBM so we can assume it will stop working soon.

AC's law of the internet #357:
Any post that uses the terms SJW, snowflake, cuck or cupcake non-ironically can be skipped immediately as it will be offtopic/flamebait/troll.
I was being ironic. Google doesn't have a SJW agenda, I thought it was obvious that they appropriated the SJW culture to further their corporate agenda of greed and ruthless pursuit of market dominance.
Therefore, the third factor explaining acquisition of both is the root of all evil.
How is Google connected to this?
He said "evil"
Strike 1:
In the first case its something about correlation versus causation
Strike 2:
its mostly for their own benefit
Strike 3:
Its just that in this case
I think the only correlation we can see here is that people who don't know when to use "its" or "it's" are also unable to spell government.
I believe there are many people who believe they aren't sexist and racist
Such as anyone who ever hired a person based on gender or race, regardless of the "social climate".
