Either that or the editors could do their fucking jobs.
They are doing their jobs.
Their job is to post the stories that gets them paid. Seeing as 404 media is a nobody that no one's heard of except here, I surmise 404 is paying Slashdot for exposure.
A Slashvertisement, if you will.
Far more likely he got some threats from Trump or one of his flunkies and is simply caving to them.
Wow. You people really do believe he's some kind of mafioso.
I lived through the envirohippy movement of the 70's. That one died in the 80's and wasn't revived 'til Gore made it a thing again.
And all the tech bros fell in lockstep with that.
FFWD 26 years, and now you have a new scam to fleece the stupid with: AI. Like others here pointed out, AI and Environazism are not compatible, they are at odds with each others. So, they abandoned their environazi "friends" and now are making new AI-oriented friends. And I bet those "new friends" will be abandoned in similar fashion 20, 30 years from now when AI leaves a GDP-sized smoking hole in the ground when it too fizzles out.
This environmental thing of the last 30 years did nothing but raise an entire generation of climate panickers... as amply exhibited in this, and other, threads.
I got news for you. It was never about saving the planet, it was about making BIG money pretending they did care.
And you all bought it, hook, line, sinker and pole, even.
That's why the war was a bad idea. We could pressure them to abandon slavery via boycotts and tariffs, giving trade breaks to states that abandon it, perhaps incrementally.
Who attacked Fort Sumter?
WHO ATTACKED FORT SUMTER?
That faction is responsible for the war.
Now... who was that? What side? The fucking donkeys from the south, right?
The governments you had elected decided to kill the middle class and the non-corporate businesses by shutting everything down, while the masked massess sung their praises.
Deal with the consequences now. Querian shutdown? COME SHUTDOWN, CARAJO!
Fucking people forget for every action (shutting the economy down) there is an equal, and opposite reaction (people stay home and won't come back to your restaurant.)
think on that next time. If there is a next time. I fear 2020 broke the world and it won't back together in a very long time, if ever.
I mean, how fucking stupid are people? There's this finely-running machine, and in 2020 people just decided to pour sand in to the gearbox. Fucking ridiculous. Eat your results.
I wonder who's getting the As, then, if not the top students.
Is it Asian studies, becuase "muh foreign money?"
Is it "BIPOC," because "muh Die-versity, and OMG what would the world think of us if we don't kowtow to the BIPOC crowd?"
Or is it the LGBTQIAP+++ NO CARRIER crowd? because "Muh social justice?" and not wanting to lose all that sweet, sweet Skilttles-haired-crowd donation money?
All part of why there's a growing discontent with our institutions of higher learning.
Were I hahvahd alumnus and rich, I'd shut off all donations 'til they purge the place from the top down to the teachers.
As I age I find myself less inclined to respect our institutions. They have turned to shit in my lifetime. All because of Muh Moneys and Muh Social Justice.
that's 2k on the vertical, kiddies
Arrrrgh, goddamn flipping of specs.. "HD is 2k on the horizontal, not the vertical."
Why'd they have to change how they measure? Assholes. Cabrones.
Dunno who "they" is.
But the jump from NTSC to 720 was massive for me. The jump from 720 to 1080 (that's 2k on the vertical, kiddies) was less noticeable. Quite less noticeable.
Anyone who claims HD isn't better in every measure better than Never Twice the Same Color must be blind, or drowning in delusions.
I will agree that past 2k there's very little to be had. Maybe more shadow details. Not enough to make me cough up money for new sources and projection.
Im' *not* going back to the bat belt just because some "cOntEnT CreAtOr" lacks discipline, and apparently so do many including freinds of mine in theor 80's.. the algo got them.
I'm not going back to hauling a camera, a walkman, a little black book, a pen, and other assorted junk just because people are suckered into the algo. I don't care whose algo, they all do the same.
Learn discipline. I have all of Harry Potter, a good chunk of Tom Clancy, a good chunk of Stephen King in my phone. movies. Music. Games. And I mean stupid games like Briscas and the kind of wooden labyrynth with a steel ball in a wooden maze.
No sympathy, none at all. Discipline yourself. Don't let the technology sweep you away. But, no need to toss the tech away. Just learn discipline.
Martial arts is good for that.
You know what would solve this? Make it like a book. A 10 x 8 secreen on each side. Fold it over all the way to use one only. Open like a book to see both screens at once, like a book.
That would be just the thing for music. And for reading. And it wouldn't put the screen at risk because you'd have a hinge down the middle, a proper 1/4 inch fat hinge, like what Motorola Razr had.
When you combine that with the fact that it's a bunch of rich fucks who we're all supposed to believe got rich through merit in this chickenshit society, schadenfreude is the most appropriate response, and anything else is boot licking.
Wow. That's quite the blanket statement.
Tell us more about your pathological hatred for those with more cash than you.
Would this cause you to lash out in a violent manner? Do you wish to harm yourself? Do you wish to harm others?
You sound like you're cut from the same cloth as the CEO killer and Kirk's killer.
Are you a killer? You're the reason Democrats hate guns, they know their own people are mentally unstable and liable to shoot up schools, businesses, and such.
Another possibility is hail, but I'd have to look and see if any convective activity around that airplane.
Hail doesn't just fall from the bottom of the cloud. Truly vicious storms, those able to punch through the tropopause, can (and have) launched hail out of the top of the anvil, and that top of the anvil is around the tropopause itself, so at least 40,000 ft.
It is possible hail from the top fell, and got this airplane in the nose. Parent storm could've been hundreds of miles away.
That impact by the vertical member of the frame is kinda very round, isn't it?
Now that you frame it this way, I'm thinking of Theranos and their wild claims of how they'd do blood analysis.
This is Peak Stupidity. Paying for the privilege of having your poop photographed and analyzed in your toilet.
I want my old timeline back. The one without social media, interconnected thermostats and such, and cameras to analyze your poop.
20 years ago, the internet was more white and male
You say it like it's a bad thing. Is being white and male a bad thing? Is that what you were taught?
Keep playing identity politics. Observe were we are now. All of this unrest lies at the feet of identity politics, which makes people talk and write like the real racists they are.
They're either enlisting and listening to the wrong focus groups, or they're somehow measuring the wrong thing
Maybe a slice of the population is super concerned on how fashionable their phones are, but most people want tougness and longevity. At least the people I hang out with and work with.
Focus Groups is what got you the Pontiac Aztek, a car designed by committee and vetted by focus groups, and beloved by exactly none.
