. It is not controversial that there is too much rape in the tech industry unless you wish to argue there is zero rape.
That's raw flamebait. Come back when you can demonstrate that the tech industry has a higher prevalence of rape than society in general. Bonus marks if you control for income, location and education.
Woman gets sexually harassed? Man gets sacked for dongle joke. Wait, you expect us to support this?
Woman complains of discrimination? People point out that she's fucking incompetent, much as they would a man in that role.
Woman complains of *rape* in the tech industry? Really? I hadn't seen that one. Or do you mean the current gender studies definition of the term which includes "hurt my feelings"? Precious snowflakes get mocked here whatever their gender.
Hillary Clinton runs for president? She gets just as much shit as Trump does, due to her track record, her policies and her alleged corruption. What, you think she should get a free pass because she's female?
Trump brags about sexual assault? Not even seen a Slashdot article about that one.
That's Slashdot these days. Applying a cynical egalitarian commentary on the articles posted, which a whole community out there interpret as a 'knee jerk reaction against "SJWs"' because they're so used to their little echo chambers quelling any dissent. Well tough. Slashdot can be a bit of an echo chamber but dissent is frequent and welcomed.
Still no 4K TV services in these parts. Still no graphics cards capable of the graphics fidelity expected by gamers at 4K.
8K HDR would be nice for photo editing. Except it still can't display a 50Mpixel image 1:1 so I may as well just stick with my existing 27" monitor.
Seriously, 8K isn't something to be jealous of. It's something to shrug at, acknowledge the technology behind, reject due to its simple impracticality.
Technically she makes a sizeable net contribution.
The Crown Estates are her hereditary holdings and generate a lot of revenue that goes to the Government, far outweighing the stipend she receives in return - it's explicitly only 15% of the Crown Estates net revenue.
She's also extremely hard working.
There's room for challenge on whether she should be able to inherit those estates and holdings, but the British royal family do currently receive far less than they contribute.
There were statistically significant differences between the performance ratings by gender in 11 out of the 17 departments and for the Civil Service overall (See Appendix 1 Table A1.1). When interpreting these data, it would appear that the explanation for the variation in ratings relates to two factors. Firstly, in all departments women were more likely to receive âExceedâ(TM) performance ratings than men (notably in DECC DCMS, CO, HMT, DfT and DFID) and secondly, in all departments except the Cabinet Office, men were more likely to receive a âMust Improveâ(TM) rating (notably in HMRC, DCMS, HMT, BIS, DCLG and DEFRA).
Oh. The mythical bogeyman that do everything you hate?
Enough of the fucking identity politics. Enough labelling. Stop with utter bullshit like
The alt-right believes
The alt-right doesn't exist. There isn't a political party, a group of people, anything that declared "We're the alt-right, here's our manifesto". It's a fucking marketing term made up by idiots pushing their own agenda.
There are ni laws against discrimination of women like those that many feminists are pushing for. There are laws against discrimination. Not exclusively against discrimination of woman.
That actually aligns neatly with the current UK approach, where standalone software can not be patented but the combination of physical technology and the software needed to operate it can.
Which planet do you work on where throwing away skilled employees is commonplace?
Writing a job spec, getting internal agreement to replace lost headcount, working with HR, engaging the recruiter, assessing CVs, interviewing, paying agency fees, compliance/legal checks, dealing with the onboarding logistics, training, waiting for new starter to get up to full productivity.. you just doubled your costs for that person for the year compared with retaining your existing employee.
Respecting your workforce, giving them enjoyment and satisfaction in their work, remunerating them appropriately and avoiding the massive costs of churn? Yeah, that sort of delusional thinking is very welcome here, and considered extremely sane.
Exactly. They wouldn't even need to retain 40%, just sell it completely.
There'd be IP and potentially licensing complications, but a few million (or tens or hundreds of millions) in cash or stock from a purchaser covers a lot of inconvenience.
TFA suggests they're looking to spin off Boston Dynamics but that doesn't excuse cancelling the programme. The alleged justification around brand is also nonsense, it's trivial to create a new company and brand, even 100% owned.
But hey, I don't run a multi-billion dollar company, what do I know..
Shrug. Driving too close can lead to accidents when unanticipated braking occurs.
Red light cameras cause unanticipated braking. This demonstrably causes accidents. Ergo red light cameras are dangerous, irrespective of other causes or factors.
One resolution is to eliminate driving too closely to the vehicle in front. Given the impracticality of this a more pragmatic option would be to eliminate red light cameras. Same outcome.
I'm not interested in wireless earphones because they're a pain in the ass. They need charging (for the same reason I use a wired keyboard and mouse).
I use a wireless mouse that can run wired while charging.
My wireless headphones also come with an audio cable so that you can use them while the battery has no charge, or while you're on an aircraft and requested not to use transmitting devices.
Slashdot Mirror
Well, he's explicitly stated that he assaults women, and that he gets away with it. Maybe it was mere braggadocio. Maybe.
Well, it's the UK so HMRC rather than the IRS, but Alan Sugar pays his tax.
You're welcome to call him a disingenuous moron, but only after you've gone from nothing to billionaire too.
British cars are fantastically designed and terribly built. British people buy German cars for reliability.
I'm British and I admire British cars, I lust for Italian cars but I buy German cars.

Sorry you genitals were mutilated, but, (I'm sure little comfort to you) that is still very uncommon, numbers-wise in the west.
55% of US male babies have their genitals mutilated. That's a massive reduction on previous numbers.
I'm not sure I'd call that "uncommon".
Male circumcision may be completely unnecessary (I choose to not circumcise my son), but it is a completely different animal.
No. It's still irreversible genital mutilation done to somebody that can not give consent.
Don't go telling me this should be legal.
You need to learn how to use Google.

Covers variation by age, race and disability too.

Interestingly diverse view there of anal sex.
How would you describe oral sex?
The alt-right
Oh. The mythical bogeyman that do everything you hate?
Enough of the fucking identity politics. Enough labelling. Stop with utter bullshit like

The alt-right doesn't exist. There isn't a political party, a group of people, anything that declared "We're the alt-right, here's our manifesto". It's a fucking marketing term made up by idiots pushing their own agenda.
Used by them too.
Hating women isn't normal.
Who around here hates women? Asking purely out of curiousity because I can't see anybody.
Several posters are women, and never get grief over that fact. Several posters mention their long term relationships to women.
It's a very rare poster indeed that posts hatred towards women, and they get modded out of existence.
There are ni laws against discrimination of women like those that many feminists are pushing for. There are laws against discrimination. Not exclusively against discrimination of woman.
Hmm. It's too easy:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-e...
Of course, there's also the horrendous discrepancy between the law, and the law as it's applied.
Even ignoring the multiple examples others have quoted to you, what the fuck is your point here?
Are you suggesting we should avoid marginalising and discriminating against white men, in case they react and respond badly?
Are you suggesting that there's a racial and gender related predisposition to excelling at a given task, even when it's an evil one?
Are you suggesting that blanket policies against people based on their race and sex are appropriate because of something that happened 80 years ago?
Or are you just being a complete cunt.
An absence of joy is not an emotion. Grief is.
An absence of a belief in a deity is not a religion. Belief in an alternate deity is.
Welcome to common sense, basic logic and facts. Fancy giving it a go?
That actually could be an awesome premise to a science fiction story
Or just read Neuromancer for a non-human equivalent.
Fuck it, just read Neuromancer anyway. It's still some of the finest writing available on the planet.
That actually aligns neatly with the current UK approach, where standalone software can not be patented but the combination of physical technology and the software needed to operate it can.
Next stop: Algorithms.
