Missing the old days that US and USSR competing on space and innovating tons of new technologies for mankind. Now what do we got, Snapchat, Instagram, Uber, Airbnb and we call that innovations?


isn't Sheldon working on this topic too?


where is seed?


At least she should get punished at some level.Not like nothing happend and she can still run for president. What a joke. Shame on us.


Agreed. Even if she _actually_ didn't mean any harm by this, it's insane that we would be okay having someone this negligent vying for the most powerful office in the world.

Of course, the argument that she had no intent is getting tougher to prove with each bit of information coming out. The fact that she (or one of her people) just happened to use BleachBit once they realized investigation was imminent is pretty damning.


The voters are the ultimate authority in all of this, and we get to decide in November.


The root cause is: this is capitalism. "Capitalist production, therefore, develops technology, and the combining together of various processes into a social whole, only by sapping the original sources of all wealth-the soil and the labourer.

Marx, Capital, Volume I, Chapter 15 (1867)"


The only thing about these 2 tools is that they can only ran on Windows. Which can be a barrier for most developers. We run mac ubuntu and redhat everyday. Sometimes it's even hard to get a windows machine inside company.


Hanselman is a Microsoft employee and a luminary in the .NET community. The audience for his blog is definitely Windows-focused.


Huffington post if far from serious newspaper/media.They are yellow journalism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism They exaggerates news in order to grab eyeballs. And their "liberal" attributes biased their stances a lot too.


Is it Yellow Journalism or just an open medium for anyone to rant on whatever they want? I consider it barely above a Blog. (Not knocking blogs, just saying it's not even Journalism)


So called 'objective' journalists are just a bit more circumspect about their biases. You know where the Huffington Post is coming from when you read their articles. Who knows what the agenda of a random CNN reporter is. Even a bare recitation of facts is going to include some bias through their choices of which facts to include or exclude.

I find partisan media on all sides valuable to read because the people writing it have different motivations than your typical mainstream journalists. You have to use your judgement and read everything with a grain of salt, obviously, but viewing the news from a variety of perspectives is valuable.


I do not think anyone disputes that. Then again, in the copywriter's age, yellow papers are bastions of journalism.


> Then again, in the copywriter's age, yellow papers are bastions of journalism.

This might sound profound but it doesn't actually make any sense.


I think the parent means that the vast majority of published material is disguised native content such as "submarine" PR pieces, product placement, unmodified press releases etc. Since the overall standards have sunk so low, yellow journalism starts to look good by comparison.


I remember Matt Lauer asking Bernie Sanders why people were responding to his campaign. Sanders answered that it was because he was talking about things that the media doesn't cover - inequality, lack of healthcare, lack of education, the rich rigging the economy. Then he asked Matt how many times he had covered those topics. Matt just stared back - like a deer in the headlights. They quickly cut to commercial.


Anyone understands this?


I know that Jonathan Corbet is having cancer but he still keep working on and supporting this site. Not mentioning this is the best place for kernel developers, hackers to keep up with latest kernel news. God bless Jon.


Note Alibaba is the main investor. Ali wants to use Jet.com to compete with amazon in US market.
