Short trading . . .

Two things:
1) Though the meanings are identical, I should have wrote "helps to out racists" to avoid ambiguity.
2) Actually, racism seems to be one of the major critics from the article summary:

Of course, given that the average /.er has no patience for ambiguous titles nor even reading the article summary these days, I consider this entire thread a write-off. . . It is ok, I have Karma to spare.

Anyway, it sounds like you had a bad week so, feel free to rage on. Why try to construct a thoughtful rebuke when you can just go around as anon saying: "FU, this no racist!"

If the last couple of years have taught us anything, racism does not go away if we just pretend it isn't there.

Racism is an intellectually bankrupt set of beliefs that only survives through isolated and sheltered ignorance. Better to expose it to the light than let it fester in the dark.

Next he will trade steel manufacturing jobs for stick and stone manufacturing jobs. . .

I think the point is that it will be too late to debate strong AI once strong AI exists. This is not like other technologies that we invent and then get to debate the social consequences over next several decades. No one may be around to wake you up. . .

LynnwoodRooster, according to you, I have issues with poor people, but, at the same time, I cannot afford a $50K car and have to lie about owning one? Are you experiencing dementia like your "dear leader", Trump?

Perhaps I can analyze your posts for declining cognition and convince you to get some treatment?

LynnwoodRooster, like a true Trump supporter, you display the ability to fabricate lies almost as fast as I can programmatically extract facts from your Slashdot posts. . .

By the way, the fact that you suspect that someone would actually fabricate a $50K car purchase is pretty telling of your own financial situation. . . I would think an EE designer of smart speakers would be too financially well off to be so impressed by such a small purchase. . . but we all have seen your level of financial knowledge, so I guess that explains it. . . (By the way, the median house value in Ventura, CA is 600K. . . do you live in a cardboard box, or something?)

LynnwoodRooster, kind of sad to see someone with:
an EE background,
that designs speakers,
has over a dozen patents,
knows Mandarin,
lived in China for 4 years,
and is over 50 years
degrade themselves like you are doing because they think this will never impact their Slashdot account. . .
You may have gotten away with this in the past. . . you will not this time.

LynnwoodRooster, it is really interesting to see how a Trump supporter reacts to mounting evidence against them. . .

It certainly adds to the notion that America is currently dealing with an authoritarian cult of personality.

Your time is running out. . .

LynnwoodRooster, this does not end until you post an apology. . .

Wouldn't you rather post an apology as an AC here and now while you still can? Once this article is archived, the apology will need to be posted as LynnwoodRooster.

ticktock. . .

The purpose of this post is to document LynnwoodRooster's abuse of AC posting in this thread when it became clear that he was losing the debate.
Evidence:
When LynnwoodRoosters posted this post I immediately posted a response to an AC post I suspected that he had posted. In my response I outed the AC as LynnwoodRooster.

LynnwoodRooster did not post again as LynnwoodRoster until roughly 25 and half hours had elapsed from his post above. During this same time, LynnwoodRooster appears to have posted as an AC at least 3 times. This represented the longest time in between (non-AC) posts in 22 consecutive days for LynnwoodRooster. During that same 22 day period, LynnwoodRooster was a very active poster, with a total of 310 posts and an average interval between posts of 1.8 hours. Consequently, the probability that the AC posting activity in this thread was posted by LynnwoodRooster on this evidence alone is extremely high.

Additional supporting evidence:

• - When confronted, the AC poster never denies being LynnwoodRooster. In fact, this AC post could be interpreted as an outright confession.
• - All AC posts fit within the distinct time frames that LynnwoodRooster usually posts through-out the day (morning, lunch break, late evening, Californian time). In fact, LynnwoodRooster was so actively posting that some AC posts neatly fill time gaps (measured in minutes) in LynnwoodRooster's other (non-AC) posts.
• - Various punctuation and word usage was matched between AC and LynnwoodRooster's posts (as posted in this thread and through separate analysis not publicly shared).

Summary of AC posts:
Mostly consisting of bigoted and vulgar insults. Primary purpose of the posts appeared to be to out my identity on another forum and shame me for not using my real name for my Slashdot account and other forums. For this he should earn the Slashdot Achievement of: "Hypocrisy of the Highest Order"

Recommended community actions (until LynnwoodRooster apologizes on Slashdot for his AC post abuses):

• - Warn other Slashdot users engaged in debate with LynnwoodRooster of his past abuses of AC posts by linking to this post.
• - Since he has tried to out the identity of another Slashdot user while posting as an AC, it seems fair if the Slashdot community posts profile summaries of him based on his historical Slashdot posts. Please do not post potential real names or use any information that he has not posted about himself here on Slashdot. The point is to make it easier for people who already know him in real life to connect him to his Slashdot account. The goal is to change his behavior, not completely out him. We should all post (whether as a Slashdot user or an AC) as if we will one day be outed. As LynnwoodRooster's actions have taught us, posting with the assumption of complete anonymity can bring out the worst in us. . .

LynnwoodRooster,
You know, it is better if you own up to this now before this article gets archived and no longer accepts new posts. . . Once that happens, I will have no choice but to continue to pursue this matter by responding to future LynnwoodRooster posts on other threads. That could become rather unpleasant for you. . .

LynnwoodRooster, on the contrary, one trait of narcissism is the inability to view the world from the perspective of other people. This is especially damaging because narcissists are blind to how others see them. Viewing one's historical posts could be very helpful to a potential narcissist. What if before posting to this thread, you had taken a step back and looked at your first post about Tesla back in to 2010, as if it was written by someone else?

Reading that post, it seems like many of your complaints about the Roadster (too little storage space, too expensive, range limitations, etc. . .) have been addressed by the Model 3. Yet, your posts to this thread focus on (very poorly thought out) financial arguments to why the company will fail. I believe if you saw your posts from the perspective of an outsider, you would assume that there was some other motivation behind your recent posts (jealousy, a short position, etc. . .). . . Your inability to see your own posts as others might see them seems to be a serious obstacle to your own personal growth.

You know, even after being exposed as the Slashdot user LynnwoodRooster, you still appear to not have learned your lesson. . . I have shown that there are effective ways to expose identities. Out of the many methods that exist, your way (asking someone to reveal themselves) seems to be the least effective (yet you repeat your attempts. . .). Are you sure you want to escalate this? Is only exposing your Slashdot account an insufficient measure to have you change your behavior?
