Please don't forget that the Tempe Police Dept. immediately placed all blame on the pedestrian. We now know that the Uber car know of the obstruction and had enough braking time to have reduced it to a non-fatal accident.

Please remember the faked darkened videos, when the street was well lit.

I have no idea what is happening in this accident in Tempe... Any locals have a clue?

The reporting for the stock market is just as bad. You can have movements of 50% within a day, but if the final number evens out, it is reported as a "modest" change, with just 10 points change in the Dow, etc., when in reality there were major changes. Day traders could make a ton of money while the average Joe thought nothing was going on.

NPR's "Market Place" is a fantastic example of the corrupt (it is so bad I don't think it is merely incomptence) reporting. IMO the "incomptentence" is deliberate, and a feature.

PS -- wow, it has been such a long time since I commented, I forgot how abysmal Slashdot's editing system is...

Wiki says:
Several studies have associated paroxetine with suicidal thinking and behavior in children and adolescents.[10]

and

GlaxoSmithKline has paid substantial fines, paid settlements in class-action lawsuits, and become the subject of several highly critical books about its marketing of paroxetine, in particular the off-label marketing of paroxetine for children, the suppression of negative research results relating to its use in children, and allegations that it failed to warn consumers of substantial withdrawal effects associated with use of the drug.

The smoking gun :
Published in July 2001 in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP), which listed Keller and 21 other researchers as co-authors, study 329 became controversial when it was discovered that the article had been ghostwritten by a PR firm hired by SmithKline Beecham; had made inappropriate claims about the drug's efficacy; and had downplayed safety concerns.

Yet the United States continues to hand out SSRIs like candy to children. Many school shooters were taking SSRIs, yet the topic is censored in mainstream media.

This is easy! Conservatives (aka Repubs) have to support the USPS, because that old white man Ben Franklin created the USPS!

Come on Republicans, are you really going to argue against Ben Franklin???

Thank you all for joining the party tonight! I was very happy to see fellow Slashdot fans brave the weather to attend the gathering and celebrate a fun evening out. It was very nice to meet you; I hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as I did.

In case you'd like to reconvene in the future, we have a standing reservation at BridgePort Brewpub every Thursday at 8 p.m. (If you'd like to attend, please reply to this thread so I know you're coming.) Hope to see you there!

Two of us are downstairs, near the door. Look for a black /. shirt.

Anyone here yet? I'm upstairs! Nasa represent.

Welcome to the Portland area! It's nice to have you here. We had 18 RSVPs for the 15th anniversary party, and about a dozen actually attended. This time, the gathering will likely be smaller, based on response count to date.

I hope you and your wife make it out on Friday. It would be fun to meet you and talk tech. And if you've got questions about PDX, I've been here a while and would be happy to chat.

BridgePort Brewpub has hosted Slashdot's 10th, 15th, and now 20th anniversary parties. Come out this Friday, October 20 to celebrate two decades of a one-of-a-kind site. Friends, food, and discussions about news for nerds and stuff that matters will fill the evening. Don't miss it!

Happy birthday, Slashdot! Here's to the next 20 years!

Ron Paul received this sort of treatment when he ran for president (as R) in 2012. His censorship from the press prepared me for Sanders' run in 2016. The tricks were the same...

Paul had second place in the Iowa primaries, but his name was never mentioned by the mainstream media. They seamlessly transitioned from first to third place without blinking an eye. An uninformed primary voter would not have heard of Ron Paul. If I recall correctly, he was unable to purchase ads in key markets.

Fast forward to 2016, and magically we're concerned about the popular vote numbers while never mentioning super delegates. Google and Facebook now get to "filter" so the hapless voter is protected from thoughtcrime.
