Good info.

To me Javascript has always looked like an abstract impressionist version of M C Eischer's work.

This whole Hugo Awards flap is so hilarious yet so sad. It's the perfect case of a bad solution to a real problem.

I agree the scifi status quo was sexist, puerile, over-dense, plotless garbage. Something needed to change.

-simultaneously-

I also agree that there has been an over-correction almost as extreme as the original problem!

Both are true.

The original problem was sexist garbage scifi but the solution is not to promote insipid non-scifi fluff.

That's right, the Ghostbuster remake got more votes than Rogue One and Stranger Things in the Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form category:

Good example.

> MSNBC, CNN, WaPo, et al piece that's highly critical of clinton or any other feminist figurehead...

First, ALL OF THOSE HAVE BEEN CRITICAL OF HILLARY

2nd, and more importantly, Hillary Clinton is not a "feminist figurehead". To call her that shows you are ignorant about why people support Hillary and ignorant about what feminism is.

Feminism is the 'radical' idea that men and women should be treated equally.

Hillary's policy positions are to the right of Bernie Sanders, Barrack Obama, and most of the voting populace nationally. She is a left leaning centrist

100% right. Everything from a Russian newspaper is propaganda.

Unlike our own press which is never propoganda. Also, the Iraq war never happened.

Wrong.

Your false dichotomy is clear. Just because the US has Fox News doesn't invalidate *any* criticism of Russia's press or specific criticisms of RT.

If there were no bill of rights, and all news was like Fox News, then and only then would your criticism have any connection to reality.

As it stands now, US journalism is one of the few areas where we can actively fight oppression.

RT is Russian propaganda made for English speakers. Of course they report some actual facts...it's necessary for their cover.

Always seemed like bullshit to me.

I'm just saying, from the day I heard of Kaspersky from a friend and looked them up I thought they were sketchy.

I even used Kaspersky briefly before I stopped using Windows forever.

Still.

It always seemed inconveniently a bit sketchy. Like many others I was a bit lazy and assumed that something as widespread as Kaspersky virus protection software would be tested to death for vulnerabilities.

Kind of a herd mentality.

only if you call all js-monkeys as developers

I mean, I'd never have typed that comment, but it's what I was thinking.

I know way too many js people.

Many people here are saying things like "Apple/Woz hasn't innovated since [insert really old Apple product]" and it is not true.

Part of "innovation" is closing the loop and making it happen.

That's what I think Woz has in mind when he said this:

their founders create the products they really want, without the dilution that occurs with multiple decision-makers

Good ideas die in meetings ('to thunderous applause') in other words. Big companies are difficult to make things happen in. It's practically by design. The whole point of a publicly held company is that it will generate reliable returns and/or keep a stable, growing stock price.

Woz sees that happening at Tesla. I'm not sure if I completely agree with him there (they do have cool robot factories), but I can see why he'd say that.

Nice work Airstrip One.

Feminism has made it quite clear that this is patently false.

Wrong. That's not what "feminism" is...and it's not what progressive policies are based on.

Well, I'll grant you that if you are a GOPer/Conservative who willfully misrepresents what "feminism" is then your definition is the approved definition from your overlords.

Wouldn't want all of those useless, disposable freeloading homeless men taking up a shelter slot.

I think we can handle it.

Men, at least stereotypically, have better survival skills and can live in a tent somewhere while they do temp construction work to afford a shitty apartment where they can then live while they get hired on full-time at a fast-food restaurant.

Some men of course have mental illness and/or addiction and that is relevant.

I think we need more money for men's rehabilitative services...well all aspects of homeless services need more money, but men are more likely to be street addicts or homeless metally ill and that needs to be addressed

Which ones went from Apple to Microsoft?

For starters, decades of stealing design, especially with their OS. Apple makes an innovative OS that takes advantage of new computing advancements, M$'s next functional version has those same design factors.

I voted Facebook.

Facebook is no threat to you.

**Just close your profile.**

You can't avoid Microsoft. They are the correct answer to this question.

Microsoft has never innovated, they owe their success to government contracts, and have copied their rival Apple's designs repeated. But let's focus on M$'s origin, they were the OS that IBM put on all the desktop PC's the government ordered...

Microsoft: Your tax dollars at work.

Nice work Airstrip One.

This is bogus. It is completely a question of semantics.

I know dozens of software engineers and sound engineers who advertise their services in Oregon without a license.

This is for a specific type of "engineering" related to surveying.

I know there is a huge "who is an engineer" debate going back probably to the Usenet days but this case is bullshit semantics and could easily get thrown out...it's definitely legal trolling from that Engineering org.
