Dup dup dup do-wah dup dup dup...

The editors probably thought the readers knew this, but Johns Hopkins is in Maryland (I had to look it up; kind of Rutgers, you never hear about the place so I forgot where it was), so this was a coast-to-coast road trip. So...yea highways work as designed in 194x? Go tech. Zzzzzzz....

Because geeks use computers which use electricity, which is also used in refrigeration, or hey look over there IOT! Generally, though it's the same reason computer programmers are asked to fix the projector; the normies that edit SlashDot can't tell people who actually work for a living apart.

One of the classic MRS degrees. See also "psychology" below.

>> $150 million for subsidized and supportive housing for homeless people
>> creating up to 20,000 new housing units to help essential workers such as teachers, nurses and first responders

Given that the job transition for homeless generally isn't going to be to something that requires a degree or works with drugs, which is it?

Looking at todayâ€(TM)s page, I see two back-to-back articles about the same fringe candidate and then two more about the same video game company being Chinaâ€(TM)s bitch. I know â€oeSlashDot Editor†isnâ€(TM)t a paid position, but could one of the senior editors please show EditorDavid how to use times posts to space his similar articles out a bit?

>> exempts ads from third party censors

As it should be. Weâ€(TM)re smart enough to tell truth from fact. If you want a better democracy, how about limiting the vote to people who are also smart enough to understand how the world works - e.g., adults with at least 5 years of working experience under their belts - so you donâ€(TM)t have to worry about cleaning up stories for the mouth breathers on social media.

I think it's safe to say that hardly anyone gives a flying squirrel about Spider-whatnot anymore. The Spiderman character jumped the shark (between dramatic death and super suit) in Avengers IW/E and the "Spiderverse" thing mined (successfully) the remaining fun in the core fanbase.

Now that the golden age of comic book movies has concluded (or will soon depending if you include Joker in that), how about putting a couple of these top brands on a shelf for a while and working on a couple of new, non-ensemble characters until the world's ready for the inevitable reboot?

^^ This. Was just as annoyed by the brain dead summary:

>> They work like any other router, except with the added benefit of being able to manipulate traffic at the seventh layer (application level) of the OSI networking model -- meaning they can react to traffic based on more than just IP addresses, such as cookies, domain names, browser types, and more.

"They work like any other router" - thanks, Karen.

This is why it's nice to see a top-heavy regulation like CCPA come through once and again. Instead of BS privacy policies, we'll soon have a required site/page on every website to automatically delete our stuff. (Source: I'm working on such things now.)

>> UN Postal Union Clinches Deal To Keep US in Club

Didn't read TFA, but the summary suggests that a better headline would have been "Trump Administration Forces Fee Change Through Universal Postal Union To Unexpected Applause". Still no clue why anyone would care, though, especially not nerds.

As if normal banks didn't use computers. Square is funny.

>> Microscopic Fibers Are Falling From the Sky In Rocky Mountains

It's Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high

Currency conversion is racist - got it. /s

>> Nah. There's something else. They must have been secretly caught in some illegal activity and they did this so they won't be fined billions and billions or thrown out of Canada.

Came here to say this. The fact that they are walking away from marketable collections suggests that something in CapOneâ€(TM)s CA customer acquisition, account maintenance or debt collection practices was about to get them sued and/or fined. By just wiping out the debt (which should largely benefit their poorer customers) they can bury their own skeletons and play for preemptive forgiveness in the court of public opinion.
