what is more interesting, is how does that affect any existing or new laws that deal with social media

remember how that last sex trafficking law made websites responsible if they have a sex traffickers on their platform? Is twitter now exempt from this because if they try to take down twitter if someone is selling sex slaves and they haven't noticed, would that violate this ruling?

so can twitter ignore such behavior and be safe so long as trump has a twitter account?

yall seen this elon musk tweet? https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/999357298861486080

remember, the government just decided they are not allowed to mess with people's access to trumps tweets

yes, and i find it funny MSM jumped right to Trump when it was clearly just Elon ragging on bad press/hit pieces on Tesla

as if we needed more proof it is all about politics and not news

well, i guess is should say a senior report for verge. idk if that counts as MSM

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/999367582271422464

guess musky hasn't heard of the knife media https://www.theknifemedia.com/

also, someone suggested snopes and politifact hah

"They need some sort of program to get women into stem"

I wholeheartedly believe that by and large women do not want stem careers

which explains the gap

I would love to see it, being in a stem field myself.. they just don't seem to want to..

even in my stem company, women are not in the mroe technical positions.. but in the more social position... marketing, management, project management, account management

that pesky thing called personal preference

I know

hmm, does software engineering count as STEM?

and there's nothing wrong with it

im sure it does

you mean software development/programming

?

yes

Yeah that's STEM

wonder if cyber security counts too then.

yes

Science, Technology, Engineering, Medicine

idk why, but forgot the t stood for technology

sure as fuck doesn't stand for Trap, or Tranny

so given that i am a software engineer, you still sure its STEM? because aren't people in STEM supposed to be smart or something? lmao

what kind of software engineer?

erm, yes.

right now full stack/enterprise

ah

working mostly in C#, although supporting legacy C++ applications

I know a ton of people in STEM that aren't necessarily smart

but can follow directions

true

i.e. half my classmates

when i was in school

the other half were smart but couldn't follow directions

or more accurately wouldn't

also, in programming

you dont necessarily have to be smart to do it either

you can cobble stuff from the web and put something together

and pass by

can? you mean do

lmao

yes

that

hell I do it

because I'm not a programmer

first and foremost, but I can get stuff done

programmers are notoriously lazy.

and by that, i mean efficient

no need to reinvent the wheel.

lazy programmers who don't use comments are annoying

sometimes they use comments and they are still annoying, because they say nothing

Looks like people are upset that women are in BF V since it goes against historical accuracy. Prepare for lots of articles saying that people are discriminating against women.

`//fix me`

//I'm a comment, I should have something useful in it, but I don't

//I say nothing, but somehow reading the code is easier to understand than the wiki instructions

haha yeah

that too

I hate coding pages

that give you the code one line at time

instead of the whole damn thing

and say this code block does this

but instead builds it up

@RyeNorth you got into the latest video https://youtu.be/OkFczMHve1c?t=654 👌

Neat.

Does anyone know if culture war is on google play?

And if so, does anyone have a link to it?

bring on the matriarchy I guess? https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/17/us/politics/women-primary-races.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes

if its anything like the uk... the first female president of the US will be conservatice

whether that means a more conservative dem or just your basic (maybe slightly more centred) GOP .. who knows

if every senator every congress and the pres were all female.... some women would probably still claim theyre being oppressed 😛

the gop is pretty damn centrist right now

and conservatives in general

oof.. Elon musk story tomorrow Mr Tim?

Or Twitter story.

I think the response to Elon will be clear.. and interesting

That what Elon is suggesting is impossible?

more the accusations of him being alt-right or something

has anyone looked into how many people hillary clinton has blocked?

is that even possible?

Or Obama.

You’d have to have been blocked by them to know.

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/254746-white-house-denies-blocking-13-year-old-critic-on-twitter

phew, glad thats sorted.. https://twitter.com/qikipedia/status/999424740988203010?s=20

So there seems to have been a case of it happening but it was denied by the White House.

Google, Facebook, AI and Starcraft II what could go wrong.

could the US gov make their own "Twitter"?

When I was younger I thought it would be a good idea if countries could settle their differences by having their leaders play chess instead of going to war. Save lives and you elect the smartest person to the top. I wonder if this can be moved on to just have AIs beat the fuck out of each other in SC2, best programming wins and we get to watch the most epic games of all time. win win.

you only go to war when all the civilised stuff is over with

if you are civilised enough to play a game of chess... you were never going to war in the first place

We are going to fighting with robots anyway. Why not just cut out the physical stuff and have it all online.

@wacka and I came to realize that you don't have to be smart to be good at chess so that idea fell out pretty quick anyway.

Then countries would blame everything on lag
