It was a purposefully and explicitly uncharitable interpretation.
Yeah well don't do that. Slashdot has mostly managed to avoid that kind of antisocial behaviour. Go to Facebook or Twitter if you want to randomly accuse strangers of being "racist" or "sexist" or "whatever-ist" to advance your point.
What the right-wing news media has done is over-focus on the outlier opinions.
What ALL news media does is over focus on the outlier opinions. Russia Gate? Four goddamn years of that nonsense and it was utter fabricated lies. I can't stand the orange buffoon but to think the left-wing news media wasn't just as guilty of this bullshit when they saw political points to be scored... well its bullshit.
Glenn Greenwald has a greatly detailed writeup on how utterly awful the media has become - both left and right - particularly in regards to the past five years of insane over-the-top fact-free partisan reporting. Love him or loathe him - I personally think Greenwald is an insightful and thoughtful reporter and what he says is 100% worth listening to - you can't deny that news media in general is utter garbage at this point. When I read an article my 1st thought is not if they're lying but HOW are they lying. I just assume at this stage they are lying to me either through omission or in some cases just outright fabrication.
It's not a left vs right partisan issue. Take your cheer-leading "my team is awesome your team is evil" nonsense out of here.
Ryzen 9 5950X handily beats the 11900K in multicore workloads
Best of luck finding one. Those things are rarer than comments in enterprise code. Good thing about Intel is at least you will be able to buy them - owning their own fabs has at least one benefit Intel still maintains over the competition.
Winning on paper then failing to produce (and sell) enough silicon is no way to build marketshare.
Another worthless article from the raging dumpster fire that is Ars Technica. Don't waste your time, go straight to someone who knows a thing or two, Dr. Ian Cutress from Anandtech.
You don't need evidence for that. It's the simplest theory that fits all known facts.
Occam's Razor has to be one of the most misunderstood principles of all time. It does NOT mean the "simplest" theory is the correct one. The original wording is non sunt multiplicanda entia sine necessitate, or in English "don't add extra variables".
An example of two theories where Occam's Razor applies would be (A) Professor Plum with the candlestick in the library vs (B) Professor Plum with the candlestick in the library and it was raining. The extra variable that it was raining - if not relevant to the actions of Professor Plum - should be removed, making the first the best of those two theories.
An example where Occam's Razor does NOT apply is (A) the cow got sick because of an invisible pathogen that replicates by hijacking cells and overwhelming the immune system vs (B) the cow got sick because of a witch. You CAN NOT use Occam's Razor to separate those two theories, despite the witch explanation being a lot simpler, and despite the witch theory being the most popular for thousands of years.
It is always the more complex version that requires the proof.
They BOTH require proof. I swear, the lack of logic on display here sometimes is astounding.
This witch hunt has now turned cruel and inhumane. One of the hallmarks of liberalism is that punishment should be proportionate to the crime aka retributive justice, and that rehabilitation is more important than revenge. That's not what's happening here - this is petty spiteful destruction, an attempt to humiliate and erase a man, being led by billion dollar corporations against a person with obvious emotional disabilities.
Destroying one man's career, his livelihood, his entire life's work, ostracizing and "othering" the man rather than engaging him, are symptoms of ideological purity and mass hysteria. It is this generation's Red Scare and it is out of control.
Yes, he was convicted and inhumanely punished which led to his suicide.
The "suicide" story is disputed. The police ruled it suicide at the time because of the presence of cyanide. But Turing had been experimenting with electroplating in his room using potassium cyanide. Given that he was a mathematician - not a chemist - it's likely he accidentally poisoned himself by inhaling cyanide vapours from his own experiments.
At best we can say the suicide story is possible but unproven. And I'd prefer to give him the benefit of an honourable legacy and say it was an accident rather than intentional.
However we both agree the way the British government treated him was inhumane, no matter whether it led to his death or not.
Technically speaking Boogaloos are subsets of the Oath Keepers / Three Percenters / Proud Boys / Right wing militia"s in general that want to start a race war
This is so utterly wrong as to be inexcusable. Boogaloo is a
I have to say though, that you should make a brainless strawman argument seems appropriate for someone from Oz.
Does writing something like this make you feel good? Do you feel powerful and strong writing insults behind a keyboard that you would never dare say to someones face? Is this how you want to be perceived by others?
When you read information on Facebook or Google you are paying for it. Advertising is an indirect and hidden cost but make no two bones about it, there is a cost there and everybody pays for it even if you don't buy the products. The costs will be distributed into the products you do buy, or if you buy a product from a chain and anybody in that chain is paying for advertising dollars, effectively you are too.
This model that Facebook and Google stumbled upon - taking other companies content and serving it up "for free" (what a bold faced lie that was) - so they can reap the advertising revenue, has been a very lucrative scam that has turned them into nearly trillion dollar companies. But it is theft by any other name.
Imagine taking a musicians music and putting it on your website "for free" then collecting advertising revenue from people visiting your site. "But I'm not selling the music, the music is free, music wants to be free, I'm just linking to their music, they should be grateful for all the exposure they get". All the while another trillion dollars rolls into Google and Facebook while the artists get peanuts.
Or for personal information like voting records or consumer spending, which is literally what Facebook was found to be doing. Not only a violation of privacy but also a morally bankrupt business model.
This decade long theft of intellectual property has enriched Google and Facebook to the point where they control governments. Literally. Now the ACCC - not the government itself, but an independent body working for the government, whose sole reason to exist is to protect consumer rights - has proposed a way to restore balance to the playing field. And all the legislation says is that these digital giants need to pay for the content they don't create but do profit from.
And the response from the "information needs to be Free" as in "No-Cost-I-Refuse-To-Pay" crowd is exactly as expected. Nevermind the real meaning is "Information needs to be Liberated". This "My News Should be Free in my Facebook Feed" crowd thinks journalists don't need to be paid for their work. Seeing as I'm a taxpayer and my taxes are paying for the ABC which then enriches Google and Facebook, this is a long overdue and welcome stick in the eye for the digital giant thieves.
The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
