Comment Re:Who cares about preparation when race trumps al (Score 1, Insightful) 120

I find this whole conversation amusing because it is one group who has explicitly said one particular group shouldn't be allowed to go schools with the other. In fact, that same group went after the other group by using police, police dogs, fire hoses, and even guns.

And yet, we're to believe this group suddenly wants everyone to be treated equally.

Comment Web site is still up (Score 1) 43

The Sonder site is still up and appears to be functional. I never got to see if there were still listings as having to unblock the 20+ scripts and who knows how much other cruft wasn't worth my time.

One would think taking down the site or at least putting up a message would be one of the first things to do when you're going out of business. But then, when your web site has that much cruftiness, maybe they couldn't figure out how to change anything.

Submission + - Popular Tech Site Caves to AI $, Starts Serving AI Popups (slashdot.org) 2

An anonymous reader writes: Popular but greying tech site Slashdot succumbs to commercial pressure, allowing AI-serving popups "Create AI Apps with Mongo DB!"

Long held to be a bastion of 'old tech' linux advocates and crusty DOS command-line devotees, they were widely representative of the cutting edge of the golden age of desktops and still regarded highly for their knowledge of kernel lore and deep protocols fundamental to modern computing. Fading in relevance since its heyday of the 1990s and 2000s, conventional wisdom would still have suggested this should have been the last bastion to fall to the idea of letting LLMs "do the coding for you", but Slashdot admins, alert for commercial opportunities (on a site that remains relatively ad free), clearly have a different opinion. "Our users need to understand what an opportunity this was for us" they are imagined to have said, "there's a TON of cash sloshing around the gigantic shamconomy of OpenAI, NVidia, and ChatGPT — why can't some of it splash our way? As they say: 'carpe pecuniam'!."

Comment Feminization is the issue (Score 1, Informative) 93

Most HR personnel are women, and some might assert this is the problem, they are the vanguard of the overwhelming feminization of workplaces.

"...Everything you think of as âoewokenessâ is simply an epiphenomenon of demographic feminization.

The explanatory power of this simple thesis was incredible. It really did unlock the secrets of the era we are living in. Wokeness is not a new ideology, an outgrowth of Marxism, or a result of post-Obama disillusionment. It is simply feminine patterns of behavior applied to institutions where women were few in number until recently. ..."

My, we are an aggressively stupid dipshit today.

The only thing that meaningfully matters to a cargo ship is size.
Vessels are already slow sailing to artificially constrain bandwidth and prop up rates, and have been since COVID.

Nobody on earth is trying to build FASTER cargo ships, and haven't for 50 years. Jesus Christ. If only slashdot had a "doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about" filter.

Comment Re:Corporations have no social responsibility. (Score 1) 92

I genuinely don't understand why slashdots downvote mafia attacked my former post as troll. Unless I miss my guess I have a fair couple of stalkers that just downvote every post I make, and then pepper my comments with bottish AC replies about Trump and No Kings. :|

Anyway, to your point, if you haven't seen it, I offer for your amusement something relative to your comment from the great Trevor Moore:
