We're talking about a guy who literally just the other day just fired his Starlink managers because he felt their schedules were too pessimistic.
The reporting I saw said that they were not being pessimistic, they were being insubordinate and continued to insist on additional testing after being told not to.
It matters a lot to understanding that situation to consider that that is the only project in the history of satellites where they're sending so many up that they're happy to just shove the first few dozen of a design up early and do a live test. Individually they're not very important. None of these managers has ever experienced that in their career, and they're not likely to ever experience it again on another job. So it makes sense that they would refuse to violate what is normally a non-negotiable standard of certainty. OTOH, it is totally understandable to fire them, too.
And when the experiment is repeated - many times, by different teams in different labs using different statistical techniques to analyse the results, the truth will come out.
What about like with LIGO where the people using different statistical techniques get different answers, but the original researchers insist you have to use their techniques, and that it is too hard for other scientists to just have a go at the data without their careful guidance?
Surely in that case, slashdot would be 100% behind the Scientific Certainty of Statistics because the problem is so hard that only the very very Top People are working on it, and so they must know. Because anybody as smart as we think these people are would be so embarrassed by being wrong, that they would never have any bias, or overstate something, or want to be right.
1 out of 4 are asked to commit fraud. 2 our of 4 are "expected" to commit fraud without being asked. 1 out of 4 are actually trying to get at some form of truth.
Statistics are always biased by their sample sizes, and criteria.
There are lies, damn lies, and then there are statistics.
Unless it is LIGO, then not having Faith in the statistics is a sign of being an anti-science Luddite.:)
Objectively, the life inside the game usually sucks pretty bad. Tetris of course being a rare exception as it is totally abstract with no life presented in the game, or even implied.
I mean, which life do I really want, mine, or the life of any of the characters in Street Fighter? That's not an escape, some other effect must be responsible.
Considering that it is a sex thing, I'm gonna say pro.
Just like you can count on extreme homophobes to be self-loathing, and so you should advertise gay porn to them, with white nationalists they're actually fighting an inferiority complex that makes them excessively attracted to non-white women. But they have to be haters in public, so they do it on the down-low.
But they have to use their own word that won't cause them to see naked black men. Because that would aggravate their inferiority and they wouldn't be able to perform for weeks. That's the same reason they can't just go to a regular porn site and sort the results; they don't have a strong enough sense of self to overlook things they're not interested in, so sorting isn't a strict enough technique for them. So they have to find these picture-sharing safe spaces where they won't see the "wrong" stuff, and nobody knows their real name.
Archaeological evidence suggests some cities depopulated rapidly, and many non-Italian groups who had settled within the Empire during its heyday picked up and migrated.
So it didn't help Rome, the place, or Rome, the government, but seeing it probably did help a lot of people, including some Romans.
Not many of the ones who stayed to try to fix the problems, granted.
Seriously, a vast, vast, vast majority of whites did not own slaves.
Right, right, dumb-ass.
A substantial majority of white nationalists' ancestors did in fact own slaves.
That most white people's ancestors didn't own slaves is no problem to the claim, because most white people are not race-nationalists. It is a rather extreme view that is rarely held other than by people like you whose parents raised them to be racist.
I find it pretty crazy that criticising Israel or even Zionism is anti-Semitic
Worse, the Palestinians are also a Semitic people, and simply voicing support for their equal rights as human beings can draw accusations of "anti-Semitism!"
If their families spent 1000+ years in Europe, sure.
You remind of that racist news lady that just got fired; she once declared that it isn't allowed to draw Jesus non-white, because everybody knows Jesus was white.
Look, 2000 years ago, all the Semitic people looked like modern-day Palestinians. It isn't hard to understand.
KDE, rather than being only a desktop environment, is actually a collection of applications, one of which is the desktop environment itself.
***ROFLCOPTER***
Newsflash, the applications don't actually care which window manager you're running, or if you're using a "desktop environment" or just running startx when you want a GUI.
But he continues with further high praise:
Whether you want a desktop environment that works just out of the box or you want a fully customized desktop experience, you can definitely choose KDE.
Indeed! Even people laughing while it slowly dies can agree: You definitely can choose KDE. If you know how to turn on an optional repo, anyways! LOL
My favorite, Xfce, is also on that list. The only con listed?
Comes with less application installed.
Yeah, about that... LOL But he deserves some slack, because it says he's just a student whose hobby is TV.
Large numbers of developers whose software runs on servers use CentOS for their desktop.
It might just be that most of the users with that use case can do their own support, they use CentOS instead of RHEL even when the server is RHEL.
In any case, the apps will still run fine, and will be able to be installed from a different repo. Right now, "everybody" uses the EPEL repo, maintained by Fedora, for the vitally important extra packages like kmahjongg.
If everybody was jumping, and you called it a cliff, and they kept jumping, maybe it wasn't actually a cliff at all?
Oh, and BTW; lemmings don't even jump off cliffs, or into rivers, to their deaths, or anything like it. It is complete fiction that is retold by idiots who never look anything up to understand facts, they just repeat whatever blahblah their stupid friends blurt out.

Bloomberg ... media is being controlled by idiots who believe technology is evil.
...satan himself ...
Could it be... SATAN?!
That's not new, here is the media going all SATAN on somebody back in `88.

"misleading the public" is not a crime, and the FBI doesn't investigate it. Keep trying, Ivan, you'll figure it out eventually.
There are lots of agricultural cooperatives formed in the 70s that are still there.
You don't hear about them unless something goes wrong.
It isn't like they have internet. Often they don't even have a telephone.

Wait, did you read that?! OK, tell us, did it have goats, or was it safe?
Keep trying, you'll get it. Made perfect sense to me.

Affirmative action isn't a policy in the US, so it is hard to abolish. It was an idea that was popular in the 60s/70s, but it wasn't enacted.
The rest are equally correct.
The funniest is #5 where you get a little confused about the directionality of the draining brains.
claim sole right to dictate who gets to do what
No, they don't claim sole right to punch nazis, other people get to do it too!
The only thing they dictate is, "don't be a nazi."
Usually that is easy, what makes it so hard in your experience?

Exactly. KDE will still be available in the EPEL repo... just like fvwm still is! They dropped the 2 from the package name, though.

This is part of why I dumped RedHat for Mandrake in 1998 and never looked back.
