Comment Re:Actually, Bayer(Monsanto) is to blame (Score 1) 66

Unless the headline and quote massively mislead about the article, which becomes a “this site isn’t reliable” problem, there’s no need to-it’s *obviously* bullshit.

As I read that sentence, what I think what you just said is "right, I didn't read the article, I just guessed what it said from the headline."

I could understand if they were just pacifists, but where were these guys when Google backed Russia's information warfare campaign in a US court?

First, we're discussing an article about employees at DeepMind in London, which, for reference, is not in the US, and has nothing to do with the case of US copyright violation that you posted the link to.

Second, don't ever use yootoob as a reference. Yootoob is for conspiracy garbage. If it's real, there's a link to an actual site with information.

Comment False Dichotomy [Re:Getting caught with one ca...] (Score 2) 135

At the risk of getting a "redundant" mod...

Your fallacy is False Dichotomy. Pointing out the stupidity in an ill-thought-out war does not imply agreeing with the Iranian regime or denying that it is bad or claiming that it is "an innocent place". If anything, the ill-though-out war has strengthened the control that the Iranian regime has over the Iran.

...and, for reference, I don't think I've ever seen the media portray Iran as "an innocent place." (They possibly could portray the Iranian people as innocent victims-- victims of both the regime and the American bombings, But mostly they don't.)

Found the bot!

For reference, Mr. Bot, your fallacy is False Dichotomy. Pointing out the stupidity in an ill-thought-out war does not imply agreeing or "rooting for" the Iranian regime.

Comment Congress passed an extension, but just a short one (Score 1) 41

Where is Slashdot's libertarian streak in this headline? Shouldn't it be "In Wildly Massive Success Beyond All Realistic Expectations, Congress Finally Remembers the Fourth Amendment"?

It's common for /. commenters to make comments having only read the headline and not the actual article, but in this case apparently you did not even read to the end of the headline, which says that Congress passed an extension. I don't think this can be called a "Wildly Massive Success Beyond All Realistic Expectations". At best, libertarians can say "attack by Congress on privacy gets kicked two weeks into the future".

The fact that humans cooperate on a large scale does not invalidate the statement that they also conduct war on a vast scale. The two statements can both be true.

In fact, humans cooperate to conduct war on a large scale.

Go read some history, maybe about the second world war, in which an estimated 20 to 25 million soldiers were killed, along with civilian deaths of three to four times that number.

Bullshit.

Got any evidence to prove the parent wrong? Because I suspect there's a LOT of black-and-white undeniable shit being slapped against your claim. Hard.

You have the burden of proof backwards. Mr. AC made an assertion that the Associated Press "went full on Activist Group long ago". It's up to you, AC, to show evidence for that assertion, which takes more than another assertion that "there's a LOT of black-and-white undeniable shit."

OK, if there's "a lot" of undeniable shit-- show it. I'll help; here the AP website.
