If a website doesn't support RSS, then I they don't make my daily reading list. It doesn't mean I don't use websites that lack RSS, but I don't use them every day.
Yeah, it's a shame how many really good news sources have now dropped RSS. This is especially evident in media sites. I used to be able to use RSS to follow my favorite podcasts, but just in the past few weeks, major podcast publishers have done something that breaks that support. They want to push you to iTunes or Google Play or some other garbage.
He is referring to California's "conservation" policy going back decades to stop every forest fire allowing the forests to become overgrown producing much more destructive fires.
Then he's referring to something that simply isn't true.
Will Unpredictable 'Franken-Algorithms' Have Deadly Consequences and Make Programmers Obsolete?
The answer is, "Yes, there will be deadly consequences and programmers will be obsolete." There's nothing you can do about it. Now make yourself a nice cold drink with some rum and fruit juice or something and go grill a piece of meat.
You can't change things, so you might as well enjoy your holiday weekend. Maybe things will look different on Tuesday, but for now, don't sweat it and go outside. It's nice outside, and summer's almost over.
California always gives 100% of its electoral votes to one candidate. It doesn't split its electoral votes in any way.
Correct, and the last time California went Republican was three decades ago. And since then there have been significant demographic changes, so I wouldn't expect to turn Cali red any time soon.
True, there are a lot of songs about Texas, I wrote about them extensively in my music blog during the year I lived there. But they're all written by Texans, and they're not always complimentary of the state. On the other hand, most of the songs about California are from people wishing they were here instead of whatever shithole they happen to be in.
In fact, now you got me thinking. Here's a song by one of Texas' most famous psychedelic bands. It's their most famous song and it's about longing for something you only find here in California. It's also a great song, so I recommend listening to it.
Do you know what percentage of California's electoral votes went to Hillary? 100%
Do you know who controls the state legislature? the governor's office? Do you have any idea of the party breakdown of our Congressional delegation? How about our two senators?
California isn't called the "People's Republic of California" because it's "not that liberal". The very name, "California" is used by right-wingers to indicate liberal insanity and 700 different genders and handouts to minorities.
Yes, there are a few conservatives who live inland. I assume some of them are very fine people. But we aren't giving them the keys to the car anytime soon, and there's just not enough of them to matter. They're like Democrats in South Carolina.
It's California's fault the firefighters even had to be there.
Yeah, if California didn't insist on having, you know, trees then they wouldn't have to fight wildfires.
In fact, we are now learning that President Trump is secretly working with Robert Mueller to prosecute the State of California for having trees as soon as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are sent to Guantanamo and executed.
but our government is specifically structured to limit your influence and increase the influence of rural voters.
We got rural voters. Urban voters. Black voters, white voters, brown voters and every kind of voter.
That's why we have a Senate and why we have an Electoral College...
Speaking of electoral votes, we got more of them than any other state. We have more electoral votes than Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia put together.
Face it, without California, the United States might as well be Brazil or Mexico. We're the straw that stirs the drink. We're the state that everyone writes songs about. Other states aspire to be us. You hear all kinds of places saying that they're the "new Silicon Valley". You don't hear them say "We're the new West Virginia" or, "We're the new Indiana".
Good luck with that. It hasn't worked so far. Don't like our legal weed? Too bad. Don't like our sanctuary cities? Suck it, you mumbling little elf. Misspelled tweets don't have the force of law here in California. And, we have that little thing called the 10th Amendment on our side. It's funny how right-wing jackoffs are all about states' rights until a state does something that goes against their god-emperor Trump.
Not going to happen unless you can convince the Feds led by Trump
Trump is closer to the end of his presidency than he is to the beginning. The backlash is going to be something to behold.
I don't mind seeing CA doing this, I just don't think it will matter. Not unless there's a big change in our country's politics...
Stay tuned. There's a big change coming.
California represents 1/8th of the US population and the biggest economy in the country. Our laws are more likely to become your laws than the other way around. Let the feds do what they want, we'll still go our own way.
Oh, you're welcome on my lawn, Rooster, just not those Silicon Valley knuckleheads. I'll even bring you a nice cold drink and a slab of whatever I'm grilling.
If you want great central California weather, there are lots of places just down the coast around SLO that are great.
Hush your mouth, Rooster. We don't want them here. Let them move to goddamn Fresno.
Anyway, it's horrible here on the Central Coast. It's congested and polluted and there's something called "valley fever" that will kill you dead, and there's red tide and earthquakes and the entire coast is on fire. The communists have created a living hell of high-quality affordable health care for everyone. Under no circumstances should anyone from Silicon Valley move to the Central Coast. You know where it's nice? Houston. Yeah, that's the ticket. Go to Houston. Housing is cheap and there are gun stores everyone and you never have to worry about your sinuses drying out. And from what I hear, the emissions from the oil refineries is known to raise T-levels in men.
However Humanities Degrees are only useful in producing Humanities professors and occasional writers and artists. There's not a huge market for them.
There's not a huge market for mathematicians either, but I doubt that you'd suggest that mathematics degrees are not useful.
Lately, a lot of Humanities profs in the U.S. have been fascists.
If you'd taken some Humanities courses, you might have learned the actual definition of "fascist" and would now realize just how full of shit your statement really is.
but universities are bastions of intolerance and group think so there is in fact a negative correlation between universities and ability to think critically.
My guess is that you're get your notion of what's happening on college campuses from critical thinkers like Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. What was the last time you've been on a college campus or spoken to any university professor?
They are not heirs to such lofty ideals as "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" or "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
I bet you have no problem with lofty ideals such as telling people not to "monkey things up" by electing a black candidate.
If you had studied history, you'd know this hasn't happened and isn't happening. It's just your excuse to be anti-intellectual. The reason we need people who study humanities is that they're able to point out where you're wrong and the fallacies you used to get there.
But where is the anti-Trump angle? How is slashdot going to get their ad impressions without the 30th Trump argument since Saturday?
Goddamn guys. I have been here for nearly 20 years following the slide into obscurity and only in the last couple days have learned firsthand why people shitpost before they leave.
It's constant anger, irrationality, denial or warping of reality to suit preference over and over and over. So much so that when a story comes up without the nonsensical hatred, it's striking.
Why do any of us still go to this site aside from habit? There is no value here.
It is a fascinating study in methods and thinking of the Trump trolls that in a story's comments section where there has not been one single mention of Trump, the very first mention of Trump is in a comment complaining about how there are nothing but Trump comments. Now, it's late here out West and maybe I'm too tired to notice that this is a bot's post, but for heaven's sake, if that's the case, the algorithm needs some adjustment.
And if the comment is sincere and by an actual human, your wish is my command, so:
Trump is so fat that gravity's going to pull him straight to prison. Now are you happy? See what you made me do? I'm not proud of it, but I feel a certain responsibility when someone makes a request for an anti-Trump angle.

I don't welcome "people". I welcome you.
Correct, and the last time California went Republican was three decades ago. And since then there have been significant demographic changes, so I wouldn't expect to turn Cali red any time soon.
I'm an "always look on the bright side" kind of guy.
True, there are a lot of songs about Texas, I wrote about them extensively in my music blog during the year I lived there. But they're all written by Texans, and they're not always complimentary of the state.

And yet, not two days later we learn that DeSantis just quit a racist Facebook group that he claims he was "unwittingly" an admin of.

Sometimes, you just have to use a little common sense. DeSantis spent more time at Ivy League schools than he did in the Navy.

Don't be silly. I was just joking. I actually put the cannabis oil in my Preparation H.

I don't go to Paso. Too warm up there.
That's true. For me, wild nightlife means putting a few drops of cannabis oil in my CPAP machine.
Hush your mouth, Rooster. We don't want them here. Let them move to goddamn Fresno.

Are the transgenders trying to force you to change your speaking patterns again? God, what a frightened little man you must be.
Statistically, the probability that you actually teach "prob and stats" approaches zero.
