Comment It's the crazy alphabet nonsense for me... (Score 1) 83

I was auto suspended because I quoted a 30 year old statement supporting the rights of gays and lesbians that made reference to "LGB communities". I was accused of Trans erasure or some other stupid bullshit.

I hope the stock price falls low enough for Elon Musk to buy it for a song.

I'd say Slashdot is in a much more degraded state than Fark.

Fark at least lets you create an account. Slashdot requires you to email them and explain why you should get an account if you want to join.

I remember the space shuttle landing at Vandenberg, 200 miles away. We'd always get the double thump from that, and even in the Orange County suburbs it was enough to rattle our windows every time.

It was cool at the time, but it didn't happen very often. Flights regularly going over at supersonic speeds would get old really fast.

The point was even if the disc didn't contain the game itself, it allowed the console it was inserted into to connect to the server and download it without needing a key. If you got tired of the game, you could sell the disc, and someone else would just insert it and it would download again for them.

Putting a printed key in the package instead of a disc that will download the game completely kills your ability to sell the game as used, which is almost certainly the only reason they're doing it that way.

Our IT team has been switching to Macs over the past 18 months or so. Started with the network guys, then sys admins and support desk people. Dev Ops and developers are supposed to be getting them when our machines are next refreshed.

For reference, we're heavily invested in .Net, Azure, MSSQL, etc.

Yes, and he's also been saying that we'll have full self driving cars by the end of the year for the last 15 years or so. He said that his tunnel in Vegas would be full of self driving Teslas. He said that 10 years ago you'd be able to summon your Tesla from across the country. He said he'd build a hyperloop from LA to SF. He said that we'd have humans on Mars by 2021. He said that he'd have a fleet of over 1,000,000 fully autonomous robotaxis driving around by 2020. He said Tesla owners would be able to let their Teslas be used as taxis that would pay for themselves when the owner wasn't using them.

Elon says a whole lot of stuff. The vast majority of it is absolute bullshit that he's spewing to further his wealth and power. The fact that anyone believes anything that comes out of his mouth anymore surprises me.

I remember a time when Slashdot used to get excited about pushing the bounds of tech and engineering to tackle big problems.

Maybe people are just tired of him spewing absolute bullshit as fact while stealing our money, destroying our government, literally hurting and killing people, and just generally being an unlikable little troll that no one would even care about if he hadn't managed to leverage himself into a fuck ton of wealth and power?

The very concept of a 'wealth tax' is just retarded.

I start a company. It grows. I hire more people. More growth. It's popular, great place to work, sells a bajillion widgets. One day someone decides it's worth $500mm. The next day they seize 80% of my company?

This is different from property taxes how?

We tax unrealized gains there already. Why not do that with wealth as well?

I just got an Amber Alert for a kidnapped child in Los Angeles less than 24 hours ago. You'd think that if these license plate cameras were any good at what we keep being told we need them for, they would have caught the guy before needing to send that out.

Or "crime prevention" is complete bullshit, and this is just a convenient excuse to get more warrant-less surveillance on everyone.
