Dice in Hot Water

Too spicy for SoylentNews... not spicy enough for your job:

'Hot Tech Talent' IT job board ads caught up in sexism allegations

Dice, formerly the IT Job Boards, said it intended the images, which feature both men and women, to be light-hearted. Part of the drive behind the campaign was to counter the notion that people working in technology were "nerds".

China Uses Trump as a Warning Against Democracy

Democracy is a joke, says China – just look at Donald Trump

“The rise of a racist in the US political area worries the whole world,” the party-controlled Global Times crowed this week ahead of of Trump’s victory in the latest round of primaries. “He has even been called another Benito Mussolini or Adolf Hitler by some western media.” It added, darkly: “Mussolini and Hitler came to power through elections, a heavy lesson for western democracy.”

Trump, or “Chuanpu” as they call him in China, has been a gift to Communist party spin doctors paid to convince the country’s 1.4 billion citizens that rule of the people is a sure path to chaos and destruction.

“They are relishing this moment,” says Zhou Fengsuo, a US-based democracy activist who fled his native China following the deadly 1989 Tiananmen crackdown. “They are very happy. They are laughing over this. To them [Trump] is a good character to show the deficiencies of the democratic system, that such a person could become president. It is just unbelievable. Beijing is definitely gloating over this.”

[...] Chinese newspapers, which have previously pounced on the Arab Spring and Ukraine’s Maidan revolution as evidence of the dangers of democracy, have wasted no time in hyping the potential turmoil that Trump’s rise could bring.

An editorial in the Chinese-language edition of the Global Times noted with glee that fighting had broken out at Trump rallies in what was supposedly one of the world’s “most developed and mature democratic election systems”.

[...] An editorial on another government-run website claimed Trump had “humiliated” the US political system. “He has turned the election into a prank,” it said.

Overcoming Depression

Depressed people commonly want something they haven't got - love, money, a job, a better job. My present depression is not like that. I lost interest in everything, I sleep excessively, until a couple days ago I was vomiting after every meal, but there was nothing particularly that I wanted, whose acquisition promised to dispel this miserable rain cloud that's been following me everywhere.

Rather, I know now that time will take care of it. It always does. I don't know how much time but a bit of progress is that I went back for seconds at the Portland Rescue Mission's breakfast this morning, not because I was so hungry, but because the food tasted so good.

Actually it's been a while since food tasted good.

I was sleeping during the day at Right 2 Dream Too on Saturday, when I woke up my boots were gone. I was quite dismayed as I could not imagine being admitted to businesses barefoot, also it is still cold and wet here in Portland. But the R2D2 staff gave me a brand-new pair of shoes that someone had donated.

Tucked into my boots for "safekeeping" were my phone and my glasses.

I have a friend who helps me out with certain expenses, I can't just ask him for any amount of money but if I have something credible to spend it on he'll lend me some cash. He's going to buy me a new phone this weekend.

I don't know how I'll get new glasses. I'm not totally blind without them but it is irritating to have everything blurry.

Even all this doesn't get me down. It did at first.

Shit Happens.

Florida Deputy Illegally Arrests Protesting PINAC Reporter

WATCH: Florida Deputy Illegally Arrests PINAC Reporter Protesting At High School
Broadcast by honoryouroath + YouTube

Florida Sheriff’s deputies illegally enforced the “school safety zones” trespassing law against PINAC reporter Jeff Gray, outside of a St. Augustine high school earlier today. Gray complied with law enforcement orders, and is currently being held in the northeastern Florida St. Johns County jail, but oddly no charges are listed with his mugshot, unlike all of the other suspects as you can see below.

The St. Johns Sheriff’s Office has wanted to detain Gray for many months now, after the local schools Superintendent declared him persona non grata, even though Gray has a son currently attending St. Augustine High School and two other children in the system.

Jeff Gray was arrested while protesting with a sign in hand, the SLAPP lawsuit filed against him by St. Johns Schools last December. The legal action was filed along with 38 SLAPP letters sent to his home address by certified mail, one of which invoked Florida Statute 810.0975 and its “school safety zones.”

“How are you doing, Mr. Gray?” asked the Florida deputy as he got out of his patrol car, wearing street clothing, to which Jeff responded, “Pretty good. How are you?” “May I ask you why are you here?” asked the St. Johns sheriff’s deputy. “I am peacefully assembling and peacefully protesting,” replied Gray. “Ok. Do you realize [that] this is a violation of your no trespass order that was issued. Correct?” asked the deputy.

“No, it’s not actually. There’s a provision that that says “shall not infringe on the right to peacefully assemble and protest If you look in the statute, it’s right there,” said Gray, whose HonorYourOath YouTube page is famously filled with instances like these where the reporter very carefully expresses to the officers his statutory or constitutional rights, and he re-iterated for emphasis, “In the statute. That’s why I’m here.”

“This is within the 500 foot safety rule, so i’m putting you under arrest for violation of that trespass order,” replied the Florida deputy who seemed to suddenly remember that Gray is a reporter and would in all likelihood be recording the scene, “If you would, put your sign down, turn your phone off, put your hands behind your back, turn around please. Put your hands together like you’re praying, please.”

Gray surrendered to detainment. “If you look at the statute, there’s a provision…” said Gray as the sheriff’s deputy cuffed him. But Jeff Gray is right. The last sentence of the “School Safety Zones” statute reads: “Nothing in this section shall be construed to abridge or infringe upon the right of any person to peaceably assemble and protest.”

My Tick May Expire Soon

I was in the Emergency Room Sunday night for a profoundly stupid reason. I got a chest X-Ray. It showed a mass on my right lung. The ER doc told me to ask my primary care physician for a referral for a CT scan.

Her receptionist was real clueful, got me an appointment for Friday morning. I expect the CT scan will be next week - they're not like MRIs, there's no real wait time for CT scans in the US.

It could be a benign growth. The usual practice is to watch the mass over some period of time. Cancer will grow quickly, benign growths slowly or not at all.

Cancer will have a rough surface, which will show in a CT scan but not an X-Ray.

It would suck to die young, but I feel I've accomplished what I set out to do, that being to teach others, in the form of my writing.

The stupid reason that I was in the ER is that my insurance and psychiatrist and so my pharmacy are all in Washington State. I've been staying in Oregon due to the ready availability of food and shelter. That means I need bus fare to pick up my meds.

I've had a real bad cold, so I could not sing on the street to raise the money for the bus.

Now there are other ways I could have gotten my medicine. I guess the stupid reasons are - overall - a good thing, as these resulted in my X-Ray.

Has anyone ever died here in Soylent? Kuro5hin has been around long enough that a few people have. Mindpixel and enterfornone committed suicide. trhurler dropped dead of a heart attack while hiking in the woods. I think someone was killed in action in Iraq.

The ER doc said my "cold" was really acute bronchitis. I should have realized that as my sore throat and stuffed-up nose both cleared up but I have quite a severe cough.

In other news, the housing division of the organization that runs my mental health clinic tells me I qualify for housing. I don't know yet how soon that will be. I have the number of the guy that handles the paperwork; I called him a couple days ago, he called back but just left his name and number, now my phone is out of juice. There are no power sockets where I'm hanging right now, but I expect I can rejuvenate my phone by mid-afternoon.

16 GB DDR4 Modules Becoming More Common

HyperX Introduces 16 GB DDR4 Impact SODIMM Modules, Kits Up To 64 GB At 2400 MHz

There are a couple 16 GB DDR4 SODIMM memory modules out there, but not very many. However, Kingston is filling the gap with new HyperX modules, which it uses in six new memory kits in its DDR4 Impact line.

The 16 GB DDR4 SODIMM modules will exist in two variants, one with a 2133 MHz frequency and the other at 2400 MHz. The latencies depend on the kit they're in, although the lower-frequency model has slightly quicker timings, as is usually the case.

16 GB modules for consumers are becoming more common, and DDR4 prices are dropping due to the usual industry oversupply. You probably remember a time when 8 GB or 4 GB modules were in this position. What amount of RAM do you want or need for gaming or VM/work computers? Is the requirement of a DDR4-capable motherboard holding you back?

Edit: I didn't realize the story is for SODIMM laptop memory. I don't see a lot of DDR4 laptops because I mainly look at deals which are for older laptops. A typical laptop with removable/replaceable RAM will have 2 slots, so that's 32 GB of memory with this kit.

Older stories:

Price Check: Price Gap Between DDR3 and DDR4 Memory Almost Gone

It's over.

Well, it has been a good run. Some people had some principles, and stuck to them. But the end result is catastrophe. We have made, what? 6000 members? We should be orders of magnitude above that by now. Something is wrong. There is trouble right here in River City! (Music Man, for those too young to get the reference)

Just now, in the submission by butthurt, which I have been watching since it was in the queue, we have people defending the KKK. You know, this is silly. It is ridiculous. This is a farce! Why? Everyone knows the KKK is dead. Those claiming to be KKK are either federal agents or seriously mentally ill persons. That is the only reason that I can say the violence against the KKK was wrong. Although I do not think the violence marred the protest: KKK protests are self-marring. If it was me, no head stomping, just head shots, at an appropriate photo studio, with posting to the internet, a la Anonymous, so we do know who these crazy mentally unbalanced people, and can recognize them in our scopes at a later date. Reap the whirlwind, racists!

But you see, my concern is not with these despicable racists, it is with the false equivalency that SoylentNews seems to be granting them. And not only them, but the gamergater-can't-meet-women crowd, and the Sad Puppies-my-fascist-Futurist_fiction-gets-no-traction people. These people are not to be taken seriously, by anyone! Now I am not saying we should ban them, but just letting them in causes problems for the site as a whole. Yeah, Mighty Buzzard, I hear you, but just listen for a bit.

We are getting an online rep. And it is not a good one. Yes, Ethanol_fueled can be entertaining, but the fact that he posts his racist screeds, even when they are modded down (and they are not always!), hurt SoylentNews. Runaway1956 has similar issues. Not as much of an ass as Eth, but not a contributer of material that is likely to encourage the kind of debate on issues that will make SolylentNews the place to be on the Internets. We are failing to be the replacement for the other site, and this is why. Bad money drives out good, and bad posters drive out good ones. I, for one, welcome [no, scratch that] grow tired of constantly responding to fascist, racist, dominionist, libertarian, and other crap here. I may stop entirely, soon. So, you volunteers, give some thought to what we want to be. A lid on the crazy may not be such a bad idea.

Oh, and by the way, that is the other thing that kind of tipped me off! When we have a certifiable homeless crazy person (MDC), that regularly posts more coherent and interesting things than do these racist trolls, I fear for the existence of SoylentNews. Well. I have said enough. It is up to the site whether I and those like me continue to contribute. The irony is, butthurt did this to me! Ha!!

Life Sucks and Then You Cough

One of the worst aspects of being homeless is being sick and homeless. I'm staying at the shelter, so I have a place to sleep at night, but I can't just stay in bed, they roust us out in the morning.

Portland has Right 2 Dream Too - "The Tent Camp" - a homeless shelter operated by the homeless themselves. It's forward thinking in that it permits one to sleep during the day. So I get up in the morning, eat breakfast, then go to R2D2 and sleep all day.

Today I've decided to stay up all night. I'm at Starbucks now, I will go to Shari's later. I was doing some open source work for haiku, but now I feel too out of it mentally to work competently. So I reload various web pages - kuro5hin, soylent, facebook - trying to entertain myself.

At least I don't have salmonella. I did once, that was awful. To have the shits when one is homeless would totally suck.

My case manager told me my housing paperwork "has been processed". He does not know what that means in terms of actually being accepted but will try to find out tomorrow.

  Andre is a good guy, but it still perplexes me that the mental health clinic thinks I need a case manager. Am I really that crazy?

Sometimes I look back upon the manifestoes I've written and conclude, yes I really am that crazy.
