Elon Musk calls for International Space Station to be deorbited by 2027

Doesn't this make him money?

Doesn't he have a contract for bringing the stuff back? Doesn't it save him money if they finish the process early? Also, he won't have to compete for a contract renewal.

Re: Conflict of Interest

TDS like other derangement syndromes is named after it's cause. The planet knows who is deranged... and the source of that derangement and it's Trump. It is similar to a Trump supporter calling another person gullible in that it's extremely ironic. Too bad we can't hear the "Derp" before they speak.

Microsoft seems intent on buying the gaming industry with $68.7bn purchase of troubled Activision Blizzard

They bought the DoJ once before they can do it again.

MS never was punished for monopolistic behavior in the past; sure you can cite a few nothings that never changed their behavior other than they refined their tactics for the next crime.

MS will simply donate a lot of $ to the GOP again and buy their way out of "jail" again along with some $ for other politicians so they don't squawk as loudly. Worse case, Gates will do some targeted "charity" work in political soft spots; again.

You loved running JavaScript in your web browser. Now, get ready for Python scripting

People who don't know Java or ActiveX are doomed to repeat it

We can't shame and insult these ignorant kids to STFU because they might kill themselves after they ban you and they can't tell fact from opinion if not dismiss all wisdom with "ok boomer."

Somebody has to stop them from WASM from getting ANY access outside it's jail. Javascript is great duct tape for slapping components together and it should stay that way. WASM is fine for components; could be better for that maybe... I think they should hash and version them with UUIDs (URLs) which would promote caching, filtering/scanning and security. I tried PERL WASM and waiting for MB of perl to download and start before anything could be done was not practical... and PERL is a level beyond python (usability is different topic.)

Linus Torvalds banishes masters, slaves and blacklists from the Linux kernel, starting now

makes sense, not a big deal

Plenty of real things to beat the SJW into sanity and this is not one of them. Like when they begin to object to using dark or black as night, etc.

The black/white/gray list thing is super old but cultural not racial; makes sense to replace with a more universal clear phrase without cultural metaphors.

master/slave is universal but not as accurate as primary / secondary as a description. MORE CLEAR communication should be the goal; but also bullying over minor word choices needs to stop. Grammar Nazis are not as bad as SJW..
