It’s unclear how much of the AshleyMadison user account data has been posted online. For now, it appears the hackers have published a relatively small percentage of AshleyMadison user account data and are planning to publish more for each day the company stays online.
Modern advertising and PR learned quite a bit from the propaganda on both sides during WW2. It chooses music and images to elicit specific emotions such as feeling that something is missing in your life, or you're too fat, or that with this product people will like you. Have you noticed the recent uptick in television advertisements featuring veterans that have absolutely nothing to do with veterans?
"Oh thank God! She made it home in one piece, and her dog missed her so much. Now go buy whatever-the-fuck dogfood we're selling or you don't support our troops!"
Huh -- the only thing I got from those commercials was, "Wow, that dog missed her so much it would probably be happy eating old shoes for the rest of its life if she's around. We should probably stop sending troops out on more than one deployment."
even if its a female black trans covered in tattoos going to the interview in ripped jeans and a dirty hoodie with their face covered by a hijab
On visualizing this, my first thought was, "Just going on looks, this is probably someone who can *actually* see through time." It might even be a competitive advantage in interviews.
But with today's super-fast computers, and even mobile devices, we're now able to detect emotion with far greater accuracy and nuance.... But the technology is ultimately destined for software that will detect the user's emotion and react accordingly.
Great! Computers will be able to use a humanlike level of voice recognition, emotional perception, and decision-making skills and then at orders of magnitude greater than human speed, react accordingly.
"You seem angry. I've ordered you a free trial of a great new product, Pax! This should significantly start improving your user experience right away."
Their explanation of why so few women study CS was that "the little ladies do not want to work hard and get their hands dirty doing actual work" (translated literal quote from one of them).
Which is odd, considering many of them become mothers. When that happens, I can't imagine any part of their person or environment stays clean very long.
Slashdot Mirror
I bill them a lot
...
They don't ask me to feel sorry for them.
I dont think you're billing them enough :-)
Hardware reproduction requires expensive facilities and thus reproduction is easily preventable without intrusive law.
Until it doesn't.
RED ALERT! RED ALERT! 20-something, registered account, posting on Slashdot -- bring out the old-fartifier, stat!
there's no way to know if you're swapping packets with a dog or the bank that claims to safeguard your money
Those are my choices? I'm going with the dog.

Python already did it.

Count me in! I'll have an affair, with Sonic and All-Stars Racing! In fact, forget the affair!
I haven't had a girlfriend or had time to play games for so long, I actually can't remember which is more fun anymore. I just made myself sad.
What would you want to do that for? You'll put your eye out, kid!
I wonder if someone got laid off or feels screwed out of IPO shares?
I'll bet someone felt in their heart that the company promised one thing in good faith, then cheated on them.
Although I will assure you that inside their heads, if you could spectate, that would be quite a sport.
It's probably more interesting than what's happening in baseball, anyway.
If you hire the best workers in the world regardless of color or background, you get Skyrim.
Do you have some references for this? I'd like the background story on the hiring practices that produced something like Skyrim.
It certainly sounds fraudulent, misrepresenting one's identity like that. Unrelated question -- didn't you die in like, 1822? :-)

one that will emotionally abuse you.
Yeah, if you're lucky.

Like what i want when I buy a cellphone is a flat kitten that I can use to order pizza.
As with all things, this is good news and bad news:
"You seem unhappy, but Slashdot Beta isn't all *that* bad. Let me show you some of its improved features!"
Make sure you provide proper attribution for those comments, ok?
and isn't an RMS clone
Strangely enough, she may have been safer with someone like that.
This guy even pushed the Italy button -- what lovesick middle aged woman doesn't dream of some crazy Tuscan romance fantasy?
Or, not even middle-aged, if you're willing to stretch your imagination a little.

More than likely, a CS major can code. Almost certainly a Computer Engineer can code. Lots of people can code.
Are you sure about that?
"Tech is a toxic soup of misogynistic assholes... and we need more women to choose computer science!"
Please, *please* submit an article with this title to the Firehose.
You worry too much -- this problem will eventually take care of itself. Seriously, how much larger can people's penises get, anyway?
But where would we be as a society if people were afraid to take such risks in order to fix wrongs?
Where we are today?
