Yeah it is. And whites face it sometimes too. But you liberals never want to talk about that, do you? Whites are always presumed to be the evil oppressors, just like in this bullshit "experiment".

erm. 6 for 6, given he was quoting 'harmful assumptions'.

Why, to the shadowy figure stood behind you with a beautifully crafted knife to your throat of course.

You, err, have actual evidence of this?

Law enforcement find that people they arrest for raping small children also have fantasies. Big fucking surprise. Still doesn't follow that A causes B.

This is quite tricky, given most pedophiles come under the category "Parents".

What if Google includes click-through rates by users in its search rankings?

People in Spain wont be clicking through links to Spanish news sites via news.google.es so Google will algorithmically have no choice but to deprioritise those sites in comparison to e.g. Mexican ones.

Of course, we're both assuming that Google are even allowed to link to Spanish news sites in search results - when I search google it shows me an excerpt of the matching text; if Google have to pay the news sites to include that then it's illegal for them to include those sites if they haven't paid.

Personally I take the view that it's Google's website, Google's index and Google that succeed or fail by whether the results they show meet the needs of their users. So let them make the call and not politicians.

On what grounds?

If I set up a website that offers direct access to every EU government citizen portal but for Spain merely links to cunts.org how am I breaking the law?

Lack of 4K content - now, and for at least five years until they work out how to deliver it.

What, you _like_ upscaling artefacts onscreen?

Luckily those of us that are merely aware of Office Space and don't abjectly worship it get to laugh at the intentional misquote that has meaning to people that haven't ever seen the fucking film because lets face it, PC Load Letter was only in Office Space because every poor shit that's ever worked in an office in the 90s saw it at least once. Usually once a day, or more.

Subverting it into the 3D printer era isn't even a new joke, but clearly it's passed you by nonetheless. Don't worry, someone will buy you a red fucking stapler for christmas.

Only by socialists.

Today's people living in poverty have wealth I could only dream of as a child. Shit, people in poverty in the UK have colour television, cars, new clothes.. Very much unlike my childhood.

Absolutely - but they can replace software engineers with some cheap as shit grad in India who will deliver _something_, so the choice is simple: Deal with the shit and deliver anyway, or watch the job go offshore.

Just because you have the fortune of regulatory protection doesn't diminish the skills and capabilities of people using the title software engineer, and doesn't mean that their job is as easy as yours. Any cunt can build a sewer, there's been a couple of millenia of practice to learn from.

You deal with the fucking impossible demands placed on software engineers and offer liability.

Built any bridges recently for which the budget was cut halfway, you were forced to use chocolate fudge instead of cement, the location was switched every two weeks and the timescales halved, and delivered a working bridge nonetheless?

No? Fuck off back to your pitiful superiority complex then you egotistical shit.

Don't forget to factor in the intimidating complication that any act of self defence will be used as evidence that the crimes against you were justified, even though they caused the need for self defence.

You appear to be trying to legitimise rape.

Learn to work as part of a team. Go on. You can do it.

Fucking creative artists work in open plan offices.
Scientists work in open plan labs.
You are not a precious snowflake. Learn to fucking talk.

Considering the number of images we push through the internet, a "retina"-resolution JPEG is still a factor of ten smaller than a PNG. Since many mobile plans have data caps, and many more are still forced to drop to EDGE speeds due to spotty coverage, it does play a role. Those that argue that image size does not play a role have not seen now average surfers have little to no tolerance for delays. Even speeding up the load time from three seconds to under a second is very important.

A PNG is still used a lot, though, due to its support of alpha channels. But that means they tend to be used where they can be cached. It has more or less replaced the venerable GIF for those areas where a SVG cannot (yet) be used. The old rule of thumb of choosing JPEG for photographic images and PNG for more solid colours still applies.
