From Data shows a downward demographic spiral for Republicans at https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/11/data- ... publicans/
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Tisk tisk, BTW. "Data" is a plural term. The headline should be Data show a downward demographic spiral for Republicans

Proof that millennials are the dumbest generation..
"Millennials: Communism sounds pretty chill
According to the latest survey from the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, a D.C.-based nonprofit, one in two U.S. millennials say they would rather live in a socialist or communist country than a capitalist democracy.
What’s more, 22% of them have a favorable view of Karl Marx and a surprising number see Joseph Stalin and Kim Jong Un as “heroes.”
Really, that’s what the numbers show...."

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
Until White people stop reproducing, white supremacy will exist...says a white sociologist professor..
https://www.thecollegefix.com/post/38463/Jessie Daniels’ specialty at the City University of New York’s Hunter College is “Internet manifestations of racism,” so it’s interesting that she would herself make racist comments on the public Internet.
The professor of sociology posted a series of tweets last week that suggest white people must forgo reproducing if they want to combat white supremacy.
Daniels started her thread as a response to a tweet by Crystal Fleming, an associate professor of sociology and Africana studies at the State University of New York-Stony Brook.
Fleming had asked how people cope who have “lost family and friends for challenging white racism.”
Daniels responded she had built “new worlds” of “partner, friends, church” who are engaged in the same work.
“Part of what I’ve learned is that the white-nuclear family is one of the most powerful forces supporting white supremacy,” she wrote.
White people having children facilitates “transfer of wealth” and the “outright worship of ‘the sanctity of the family’ which pervades pop culture,” Daniels continued.
“Tolerance and Apathy are the last virtues of a dying society.” Aristotle

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
What an absolutely ridiculous (and erroneous) conclusion from that data. First of all, Marx only got 18%, not 22, and nowhere does the article show the results of the question regarding living in a socialist country. Article also fails to even mention the top 7 vote getters....BDKJMU wrote:Proof that millennials are the dumbest generation..

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
I wonder what the age/demographic make up of that is? I think the younger millennials, say those that are approx. 20-25 yrs ago (born 1992-97) have a completely different outlook and have experienced life differently than someone like me, born in 1983: someone whose siblings are Gen Xers; someone who vaguely remembers the USSR; remembers life before the internet; who was in college on 9/11 and entered the workforce shortly before the Great Recession.BDKJMU wrote:Proof that millennials are the dumbest generation..

To be sure, there is no shortage of snowflakes and "Professional Protesters" on my end...but I think the majority of these idiot millennials are on the younger side.
That's just my take by seeing the millennials that I encounter.
Also, who raised millennials to be the way they are?...Mostly Baby Boomers and some Gen Xers.
However, looking at that chart, I would figure you would love them BDK. 60% love Ronnie and even less love the actual socialist/communist/facist rulers. I'm not sure if that's ignorance on their part or what.

This is, IMHO, a very cool story...
Passwords can be difficult to generate in these days of hackers, and lots of folks use random number generators to try and foil hackers...
But even RNGs can be beaten...but a company in San Francisco has figured out a hip new way to accomplish digital security, by going back to the hip 60’s and 70’s...

http://tribunist.com/technology/these-a ... source=amnAs reported by Popular Mechanics, one San Francisco-based company has turned to a wall of lava lamps to help create truly random encryption keys.
Content delivery network Cloudflare uses the lamps to create unpredictable visual data that is then converted into a genuinely random number. The floating blobs don’t occur based on a prescribed pattern, ensuring that the wall doesn’t display predictable data. Then, that information is captured through a video feed, allowing a number to be created whenever it is needed.

You fuck up one go shit. Spend a day decompressing and looking for ways to improve and jump right back in the next day and do another. It wouldn't be long before you were successful, or would run out of volunteers.
