# 'an intentional effort to get shock value', 'pick fights':

There are 5 beluga whales on loan to other facilities, in preparation for the construction of new tanks in September.

Everyone agrees that the welfare of these whales is better served in those new tanks, than where they are currently staying. This ban prevents the return of the whales currently on loan. As I said, I am for a ban on cetaceans but this is a PR exercise and not about the whales.
> Your points about Puritanism would be much more amenable without your second paragraph. Do you really doubt that subjecting a chikd to nonstop violent porn would result in some psychological adverse effects?

Please read again. The second paragraph is precisely where I say that I have no problem believing that there might be ill effects. Our intuitions, however, are no replacement for scientific rigour. The history of science if full of cases where common sense turned out to be wrong.

More importantly: I am not proposing that a child should be subjected to "nonstop violent porn". That sound like a terrible idea and it is a straw man. Like most things in life, this is not a binary choice. It's not like we have to choose between puritanism and nonstop violence and porn. What I am saying is this: is catching a glimpse of violence or sex so damaging that our entire culture should be subjected to severe restrictions? Or is it something best left for parents to decide? Maybe some parents are more worried than others, and maybe it doesn't make sense to burden everyone with a certain standard -- unless it is supported by rigorous scientific research.

Monthly service costs / subscriptions are a feature. This happens all the time with mobile apps, for example. You find a nice new shiny todo app that costs $5 and invest heavily in it, lo and behold, 6 months later the 2k people that bought it isn't enough to sustain the creator indefinitely and it dies a slow and neglectful death. But if just 500 of those people paid $5/mo that would be much more likely for the developer to continue supporting it.

When I'm looking for something that I expect to invest in and rely on for a long time, "has a paid subscription" becomes an important consideration when evaluating different options.
No, but there is a Master's of Software Management (MSM) there that might fit your needs.

http://www.cmu.edu/silicon-valley/academics/software-managem...

Some of the differences are that the Master's of Product Management (MSPM) has a much stronger emphasis on HCI and User Experience Design, and is on a different cycle. That is, the MSPM runs from January to December (1 full year, off cycle), whereas the Master's of Software Management is on the regular cycle. The MSM is also available for part-time students. Lastly, the MSM has a stronger focus on being an engineering manager, though there will be some overlap with being a product manager.

I am genuinely curious why you think it is cause for celebration that bratty solider who made a massive blind data dump of classified information to sabotage the US military had their punishment drastically reduced.
Can you elaborate on that, datatan? I'm not saying lawless is necessarily correct, but from the confidence of your statement, it sounds like you have data to show otherwise. Would you mind sharing that? I feel it would make a good talking point in this thread.

Certainly, I can't speak for everyone else's experience, but I've been happy with mine and will continue to use them in the immediate future.

Not sure, but doesn't this tantamount to lying at your employer? For example, I see the Doctor's Note option there. In places where health practice is heavily regulated, this could haunt you back as your employer could trace that doctor's note and they could easily dismiss you for misleading information.

I am also a bit worried about the other notes as a fraudulent in nature, which in some countries constitute a higher penalty.
That's a really small convenience (if it is at all, I have my doubts) for such a expensive feature that doesn't have many practical uses. It's killing a lot of otherwise exciting projects.

I'm curious as to why one would want to do that. Maybe it's because we host internally (internal Bitbucket server) that I don't think we would need this or maybe because we are small and know who is pushing what.

AFAIU, The point is that we need them to spend more. Saving may be good for them but not so good for the rest of the economy.
The libertarians and socialists will both sometimes disagree with the social progressives, but disagree on most everything else. We need at least 6 or 7 parties to even come close, but under first past the post, it's impossible.

Personally, I would prioritize extensive political reform and reconstruction, but I fear the level of financial capture and constitution worship in the United States makes thus impossible.
Canada Border Service Agents do this all the time, too.
Yes, but it's still true, as my own conversations with conservative in-laws shows.

There will be no end to cheap oil in the next 50 years. As demand decreases due to electric cars we'll see nearly 30-40% of the use of crude oil going away. The world has absolutely massive reserves of crude.
Kaby Lake laptops started rolling out a week or two after the new Macbooks were available. Apple must have decided it wasn't worth waiting that extra week or two? Or was there something else going on?
I'm not interesting in explaining myself to nationalists.

I will, however, say that 7 years of prison can be devastating for anyone but 35 years can totally ruin their life with virtually no chance of recovery. Most people have support systems, but will they still be intact after nearly half the average life span?

Regardless of your opinion of what Manning did, the fact that she is no longer in prison means that at least one more person has a chance at life. Isn't that worth celebrating?
So, I'm a PM at Mozilla who did an MDes in Interaction Design at CMU. I'm a dataset of one, but my experience there was absolutely worth the cost. A few notes:

- 65k is a lot, but Pittsburgh is cheap compared to the Northern California or New York or almost anywhere. Someone on the thread tossed out 65k a year in additional cost of living; this number is way off. You can get a room for < 800 bucks a month (possibly significantly less if you're willing to commute even a little). Food is cheap, there is modest but acceptable public transit, the city's pretty bikable, and there's plenty of free stuff to do etc etc. TL;DR Pittsburgh is great.

- There are lots of fellowships for grads available through CMU. I TAed Web dev and creative coding courses and IIRC, the money I got for doing so completely covered my rent and internet bill.

- If you've spent any time at all on the CMU campus, it's pretty clear the the institution is absolutely unique WRT the depth and breadth of CS, Design, HCI, Robotics, and Business talent. BTW, this list is not exhaustive. The sheer density and variety and stuff happening on campus is simply not comparable to working at a startup (which requires laser focus). A big part of the CMU experience is expanding your horizons about what's possible in ways that MOOCS (and I daresay industry) cannot.

- Also CMU grad programs place nearly EVERYBODY. It's the primary reason I went there as a chronically underpaid, semi-clueless freelancer having trouble breaking into industry. Their relationships with industry – both formal, and through causal peer/alumni connections – are pretty staggering.

All of that being said, I didn't move into a PM role until I'd spent significant time in the UX org at Mozilla learning how the sausage gets made. I definitely only started to grok the on-the-ground dynamics of product management after several years in industry, and I'm still learning every day. My sense is that most PMs have similar trajectories of transitioning into the role after time in industry. I'd be curious about whether industry would look favorably on hiring PMs directly out of school.

Killing animals for food is ethically justifiable. Humans like all life are part of the food chain, and that's just the way things are on this planet.

Keeping an animal "jailed" purely for entertainment -- "worse." Nobody needs to see dolphins doing tricks in order to survive.
You chose the example, not me.

Governments are subject to the whims of the people as the modern US continues to show. It doesn't matter what fancy rules you have written in a dusty drawer, when people want something to happen, it happens. Though as an aggregate of what everyone involved wanted to happen. Our society follows those rules today largely because we were taught and learned to believe in them. As those rules fail, people will learn and believe in other things.
I was the same, but I had moved everything to a VPS before they cancelled the plan because it was so slow. I seem to remember Textdrive splitting out from Joyent and attempting to honor the lifetime plans, but it didn't last.

Funny. I can't believe it feels "good" for any parent to conclude that their child has an incurable predilection for callousness and violence that could lead to a life in and out of jail.

Maybe you have some problems with empathy yourself, if your understanding of feelings is that faulty?

>Keep in mind that while you will learn this stuff in your life, for very young children, there is definitely a lot that is inappropriate whether it is sex, language or violence. A 2 year old is unable to fully understand what is appropriate when. They are not ready to handle many of these concepts.

In Germany everyday people can go to the park with their 2-5 year old kids and have no issues with nudists enjoying the sun nearby.

And while you wouldn't want your kid to become a potty mouth (for social reasons), them casually hearing some swear word now and then is no big deal at all anywhere in the world.

As for violence, depends on whether it's something that will frighten the kid.

>Beyond that, if an adult doesn't want to listen to something or watch something, this helps them. If they've don't want to see or hear something, why should anyone else care?

Because some people don't want a society of puritans, even if the latter appear to keep it to themselves.

Cryptowall had an estimated 625,000 infections and that's August 2014 numbers[1]. I believe it had many other campaigns since.

Then you have Teslacrypt and Locky which I believe to be just as large if not larger.

I don't think anyone has any good data on how big these attacks are. I suspect they actually number in the tens of millions. I think Brian Krebs had an article or two about these malware authors walking away with literally millions of dollars of bitcoin. That's a lot of infections.

One of the problems is that most ransomware will run, encrypt the files, then delete themselves to avoid detection. That means AV doesn't get a chance to catch it later after updated definitions arrive. So AV reporting is useless and AV reporting is how we used to know how big infections were. I also think the AV industry is incentivized to not make a big fuss about ransomware because the infection numbers are embarrassing to them. So far they can't stop it with traditional means. A lot of shops run things like RansomFree, InterceptX, CarbonBlack, etc on top of now near useless traditional AV.

> I predict a near 100% placement rate.

Key problem: At least in the tech world, companies maintain a 10:1 (or even 100:1) engineer:product manager ratio. In my experience it is extremely difficult to land even a non-senior PM role, while companies will hire engineers dozens at a time. You think companies are overly picky about their engineering candidates? Hooo boy! Do a few PM interviews and get back to me.

I think a specialized degree in Product Management is great though! Had this been available when I decided to do a very expensive MBA program, I would have chosen it instead in a heartbeat! This program is half the time commitment and half the cost of my MBA--no brainer.

That is incorrect. ProtonMail has iOS, Android and Webmail.

>I always had a problem with this (very American, in my view) concept of "appropriate". What does it mean exactly? It seems to be hiding stuff that is either ill-defined or unlikely to withstand deep scrutiny.

It depends on society's definition of appropriateness. For example, in your society would it be "appropriate" for you to go out right now and defecate in public in a hygienic manner? Or have sex in public? Or walk up to a store employee and expose your genitals?

Do you think it's "inappropriate" ? Can you define and spell out the bad consequences of doing so? Any research into that? Is it just because it can cause social embarrassment? Is it exclusively American?
Is growth hormone anabolic in physiological range ? I remember reading about the study suggesting it's not - like those "natural testosterone boosters" - you only get results in the supraphysiological values.
App Store Optimization (ASO) Checklist
You're misunderstanding my point: the laptops should have had Kaby Lake to begin with.
Seems like fake news. Apple rarely introduces new hardware in WWDC. And the ammount of references to the Surface Laptop make it read a bit like sarcasm, even though it surely does not seem intended.

Windows doesn't restart after every update for you?

You don't believe Microsoft is engaged in propaganda campaigns, specifically the idea that not updating is being a "bad user"?

You don't believe that by using Win10, you aren't legitimizing the "OS as Malware" concept and endangering yourself to a huge remote attack surface?
The article does mention the clinical diagnosis, but the one for children:

"Samantha was diagnosed with conduct disorder with callous and unemotional traits. She had all the characteristics of a budding psychopath."

Antisocial personality disorder is, as far as I know, used for adults.
Can't say this is a compelling argument. Being lower cost than other programs just tells me those programs are overpriced too. Also the whole nonprofit argument is baseless; did you know the NFL was structured as a nonprofit until 2015? Universities and nonprofits in general are well known to waste funds, especially on administrative positions and vanity projects.

Not to call this a vanity project, and obviously I am not privy to all of the financial information at CMU so I may be wrong and this program may just be quite expensive. The main problem I see with something like this is that

1: As with most Master's programs, it's probably just a cash grab by the university. Although since this is CMU I assume the placement will be very good, I'm also of the opinion that programs like these can, but not necessarily will, taint the overall reputation of the university by setting lower standards.

2: It's fine for a few universities to offer degrees in Product Management. But the thing is, the market (at least within tech) for this role isn't THAT large, especially when you consider that a lot of product managers start out as developers to begin with. If enough universities start also offering these programs, I assume the placement and utility of the program will suffer greatly. We don't need a glut of PMs the same way we had a glut of lawyers following the recession.

Yeah but that's not the same thing as them listening to a song repeatedly, then singing it, and having parts of that song enter their lexicon. Music is sticky, especially with young children.

I agree with your points on nudity (it's not a big deal) and violence (it's a very big deal).
That's exactly what I did. Watch PMs in action at your current company, take notes, get interested, and wait for a position to open up internally.
