Before anyone else is offended, it's time to just ban google image search along with any youtube videos of the Dukes Of Hazard

If it's state run that's fine, just make sure it's not a "jobs program" where people are never fired or held accountable for their actions. I don't want something like TSA where people are rummaging through luggage for SWAG

Could you imagine a hyperloop system being run by unions? Look at places like Washington DC where their mass transit *union run* has resulted in trains crashing into each other and trains going into a tunnel that's on fire only to lead to someone dying of smoke inhalation. This would be so much worse.

Take your male privilege out of here. Clearly we must show everyone is equal by making sure boys aren't equal

Submission + - Trucks driven by software

Submitted by Presto Vivace on Monday June 22, 2015 @10:59AM

Presto Vivace writes: Self-Driving Trucks Will Hit Us Like Ton of Bricks
At $40,000 a year, the incentive to replace truck drivers with software is massive. And it will happen. Not only that, but insurance costs will drop. Most truck accidents are caused by user error: Driving too fast, driving while tired, driving intoxicated, etc.
Robots don't drink, don't get tired, won't drive unsafe to get to a destination faster,

Think of all the fun hackers could have with trucks driven by software.

Not shocked Slashdot is only posting the story now and not even mentioning the retraction. This is the same group of people that sat on the Sourceforge story as long as they could.

Because in a few months they're going to pull the same stunt and if the flood gates open you might as well find a job before the flood of applications hit all at once

And start looking anyway. This is a temp stop gap to keep people from rioting, they'll hope the masses forget about it and can try this again in 6 months. Don't give them the chance, get out of dodge while you can

Maybe I'm just not "getting it" but I'm trying to see what the value added is in this service. I already have Amazon Prime and with it I get a nice free music service that does a good enough job. Do they have artists no one else has?

I'm trying to figure out the benefits here. I have amazon prime so I get free music already. Sure I can't listen to the white album at work, but I get the majority of what I want. So for them to enter the market they need to do it 2x as good as the next guy or at 1/2 the price. I don't see either happening

Must be nice for Sourceforge. Controlling the message via slashdot. Listen, no one wants malware. You can shine it up and call it "a secondary offer" but it's still junk. I hope as time goes on more people realize what a virusden that site is and more people rely on github

Am I going to learn all the skills I need in undergrad? Probably not. But I will learn how to deal with idiots, how to get along with others, and commit to something and follow it through all the way. Plus HR wants the degree - so you get the degree.
