    It's not clear in the description (I suspect the person who wrote it doesn't know how web pages work) but this just means opening a link that has a "_blank" target (new window/tab).

    This is just clickbait as usual.

    What you describe is exactly what the US have been doing for years: taking foreign companies to one of their kangaroo courts and grab a few hundred million dollars, or, if possible, a couple of billions for some arbitrary violation, often not even in US jurisdiction.

    I did a quick search and while I found ways to export Twitter lists to csv, I didn't find a way to restore them. That's the thing with those online tools, you don't control everything.

    You can decide not to use a product that you can't backup/restore, but then you're in the same situation as someone using it without a backup, except for the fact that the person who uses it enjoys it while you don't.

    Since they no longer have colonies to exploit and bleed dry, Europeans are now moving on to a new business model: arbitrary fines for successful American companies. Microsoft, Google, Intel, Apple, etc.

    It would be great one day to see Europe contribute something to the world instead of just taking all the time.

  14. The $10 minimum for checks is interesting though. Someone I know had a similar issue; they owed the DWP $0.80 but couldn't send a check for less than $1. They were getting past due notices, so they ended up sending a $5 check, and got a $4.20 refund.

    Checks are retarded.

    From the linked article:

    Wolf added that in her case, the deleted lists represented thousands of hours worth of work and were a critical professional tool. "I have three locked lists that I scan for journalism, infosec and Middle East news. Those lists are gone," she tweeted. "My three biggest lists just disappeared. Decade of work. Other ppl also reporting lists disappearing."

    This is a valid use case, although I'm skeptical about the "thousands of hours" figure unless the lady is a total retard.

  22. _it_will_self_regulate_ with women exiting the field.

    It has. But phonies insist on blaming it on the industry (sexists! racists!) and pouring money and energy in programs to attract women to IT, instead of accepting that this is simply not the kind of work they want to do.

    See, the stats are skewed because all we hear about in the media is the cool part of IT, like creating facebook bots using dockers on macbooks or tweaking snapchat GUIs using githubs and hadoop. But the reality is that the vast majority of IT workers do NOT work with "cool" stuff; they configure switches, schedule backups, monitor disk usage, calibrate sensor packs, debug unit tests in stale ERP packages, and often doing it on old clunky computers hidden in poorly lit cubicles. Tedious, repetitive work with little or no human interaction. These tasks can be done by any human being with the proper training, but they happen to attract males more than females. That's not sexist. So having diversity hiring programs just means that companies have to set aside waves of qualified candidates to find acceptable ones that have the right set of chromosomes. This is complete and absolute bullshit.

    The nasty situations (such as the countless incidents at Uber and other places) are not the cause of the lack of women in IT, they're a consequence of it. Put a 15% minority in any situation and the same kind of patterns will appear, and this is made even worse in this case because IT doesn't simply attract male workers, it specifically attracts male workers that are either on the spectrum or real close, and have therefore less awareness of social manners.

    So go fuck yourself with your "afraid of women" narrative. Anyone with a handful of brain cells can see what's really going on here, it's called hypocrisy and self-destructive political correctness. I understand that it's exciting for people like you to feel like you're brave pioneers fighting against a corrupt sexist system, but really you're just pathetic.

    This, at least sounds like news for nerds although I understand that motto is gone.

    That's because "nerds" has a white male connotation, which is now basically as bad as having a KKK tattoo.
