I love the fact that none of this exists in open source projects. All communication is done immediately using IRC, mailing lists, and bugs/tickets. Nobody has to follow a development methodology. You volunteer to contribute to the things planned in the roadmap. You get shit done when you get around to it. When it's ready, it's ready.

I hate the fact that if you're not following a bullshit development methodology (and usually poorly) you're treated like there's something wrong with you.

The top Horror movies in IMDB with at least 10,000 votes

I personally would go to a more base level, how the fuck is it no writer has been able to copy Harry Potter, there's b/millions in it. (Exception Hunger Games, not.... Dark Materials)

It's formulaic and a book, so lowish cost. A known worldbuild of fantasy with children being the protagonists. Just good writing.

I blame the (university) system, rather than teaching people to write it teaches people what to write. And this flows through to screenplays.

I produce graphical reporting occasionally at my job (manufacturing plant).

Around here a lot of People still like to print physical copies of the morning reports. One thing I've found is that although colors may be distinguishable from each other when viewed on a screen on a print out similar colors all blur together for this reason I like to make sure there is a high contrast between neighboring regions (especially on things like stacked bar charts).

Other big issue is Overhead projectors. It's pretty common for people to review graphs in morning meetings and similar. A lot of projectors are low resolution and also get used in places like control rooms with poor ambient lighting so you can have similar problem with distinguishing color hues.

Using patterns (cross hatching etc) as well as colors also helps distinguish regions from each other.

If you look at industrial control software how dials gauges and the like are represented you can get some good tips on best practices and how to make high contrast easily distinguishable graphics. These things are designed for maximum readability.

Well I suppose backwards compat might have been the wrong phrase here. I'm thinking more that it's a language whose v1.0 release was only 3 years ago before which it was "difficult to maintain projects written in Rust, since the language and standard library were constantly changing" [0]. That's not to say that it isn't a stable language now (and I actually quite like it) but with only 3 years of stability to show, "nuclear reactors" and "submarines" are strange things to list as applications for the language.

Even the link you provided suggests Backpage was working with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The context that it mentions this suggests that Backpage "may have manipulated" the reports, but doesn't describe exactly what that means. Manipulated could mean something as innocuous as erring on the side of protecting consenting adults, only reporting more obvious cases of exploited children. We don't know though, because in spite of the fact that this negative language "manipulation" was used no details are given. So even in the report written by the people who are trying to put Backpage owners in prison, written in the most negative light possible, I was able to find redeeming information in just a few seconds of skimming.
I believe the theoretical arguments against net neutrality are actually extremely sound. Prioritized traffic could solve some significant network issues. Realistically, we know it will be abused.
Because names are scarce and squatting produces inefficiency. Someone who wants to make productive use of the name has to pay a middle man in order to do it, which reduces their resources available to do the useful thing and unjustly enriches the middle man who has provided nothing of value to anyone compared to the situation where nobody registers the name until they have a use for it. (Or, if multiple legitimate users want the same name at the outset, compared to having an auction where money goes somewhere meritorious like paying the cost of maintaining the naming system instead of to the jerk with the fastest computer.)

Although one of the best ways to discourage squatting is to reduce scarcity. Have hundreds of TLDs (.cars, .bank, .farm, .repair, .plumber, .housing, etc.), or if you're not ICANN and don't want to pollute the global namespace with multiple TLDs then second level domains (.cars.bit, bank.bit, etc.)

Then a squatter has to register hundreds of times as many names and each name has hundreds of times fewer prospective buyers. Combine this with some nominal cost ($10/year) to holding a name, irrelevant to normal users but prohibitive to someone who wants to hold trillions of names hostage. And which you want to have regardless to be able to reclaim names that have been abandoned.

And you're responding with your "strong sense" without considering that Japan might be different. In Japan, around 60% of women quit their jobs after having their first child [1]. In a country that still frowns on "job hopping" and still clings to the outdated notion of lifetime employment in one company, many of these women are unable to re-enter the workforce in anything other than menial part-time work.

It's not just the systemic gender discrimination but the fact that women in Japan aren't given a chance to balance careers with marriage/children is what's made this such a sensational story.

Fwiw I live in a country with no net neutrality laws but reasonably healthy competition between ISPs (New Zealand) and it seems to work out alright.

I feel like the right order of operations if you did believe in deregulation and encouraging competition would be to ensure there was competition between ISPs and then remove the net neutrality laws though, not the other way around.

I still think internet access should be treated similarly to water/power etc though.

And I've got a bridge in Brooklyn for you.

This is the sort of prestigious medical school where sons and grandsons and nephews of wealthy families are expected to be able to graduate. When too many of them were suddenly not being admitted because smarter, harder-working women were outclassing them on their exams, the admissions department needed to "calibrate" the superior scores of the female applicants in order to maintain a healthy stream of legacy revenue.
Screw these other commenters saying you're a stubborn introvert. If I had a company, I would hire you. I have the same view.

Micro management erodes trust, which deskills programmers. If you know the exact bounds of what a programmer that you hired can do, then they can never do anything exceptional. I understand large companies need reliable workers because they are working on cornering their market, but for startups, or just for anyone going after something that's never been done, you need to take a risk, and that risk includes your programmers as well.

What's more, there's a small but important difference between being told to go to a meeting and converse with other employees, or CEOs, or clients to get some external validation on your work, and choosing to seek out those people of your own free will. I agree that no programmer can silo themselves off and "do work", but that doesn't mean we have to infantilize them and spoonfeed them their feedback.

A fisherman knows how to catch fish, so why are you telling him what lure to use and how to cast his line rather than just letting natural competition takes it's course and allowing him to become jealous of the better fisherman and having him improve. "Didn't catch a fish today" "well you should've used the red lures like Bob does". Do you want a better fisherman? or do you want the same fisherman?

I couldn't disagree with you more. I am presuming you have neither read the history of SR-71, nor have a good understanding of the trade of engineering. I am ex-Lockeed employee and even though SR-71 was a distant historical project when I was working there, there were internal discussions about the engineering excellence behind the plane's performance. I worked in stress analysis team where we frequently joked about how we don't need to deal with thermal expansion like in the SR-71.

You can choose to call it "Slapped together" and brush over the sheer ingenuity of the technologies that made SR-71 successful, or you could try to read up on the insane amounts of __engineering excellence__ that took to make it achieve its mission as a recon aircraft. Its mission wasn't to be a commercial aircraft, its mission was to go as high, far and fast as possible - Reconnaissance and to return safely by literally outrunning missiles. Therefore, refueling and leaking fuel are appropriate trade-offs.

Skunkworks engineers were perfectly aware of the trade offs you mention - that is integral to __any__ engineering discipline from semiconductor to aviation. That __does not__ imply the lack of engineering excellence.

Leaking fuel is __the__ most popular fact about the SR-71. But you omit or you are unaware of the ingenuity that went into making the Ramjet engine, material science, hypersonic regime that was completely new and nothing had flown at that speeds before, etc...there is just so much to say, I am having a hard time coherently replying :-) I apologize if my response was a bit harsh - I am just passionate about this topic!

I mean specifically the current (15-20 year) increase in this genre, with the intention of showing in mainstream theatres.

Shoestrings budget films have existed pretty much as long as motion cameras have been generally available.

But these are specifically created because they are cheap (relatively) to make and sell enough tickets to get into mainstream theatres, which produces much higher profits than other genres on shoestring budgets. Note of course that all of this is the general case - there are obviously exceptions in every direction.

Technical merits aside...

Why was this done as an alternate root project rather than an alternate tld? I get it makes the project more useful (ability to register .johnsmith rather than johnsmith.bit), but it's going to severely increase complications when interoperating with the ICANN dns root.

what happens if you register .foobar on handshake, and then a few years later, ICANN delegates .foorbar? If you let the ICANN registration take precedence, all the .foobar domain owners on handshake side will lose their registrations. The threat of that will keep most people from using tlds registered on handshake. Why buy a domain on .foobar (handshake root) rather than .foobaz (ICANN root)? It might cost a few bucks more, but honestly I'd be willing to pay a few dollars/year more knowing my domain is secure.

Of course, it's possible that operator of the ICANN tld would give an opportunity for the domain owners on the handshake side to migrate over, but then they'd miss out on all the revenue on those premium domains. why allow the old owners of pizza.foobar keep their domain when you can resell it for $$$?

The project mentions that they have pre-reserved certain TLDs, but all that does is delay the inevitable. The first conflicts are going to be with yet-to-be-delegated gTLDs, since they're not in the current root (obviously), and they're not in the alexa 100k (while they're some sites with generic words as domains, most of them are squatted, which means they're probably not in the alexa 100k).

The only hope of this project surviving is if they gain critical mass and overtake ICANN as the most popular root. The network effect is insane with DNS (maybe even higher than with social networks), so unless there's a good reason for everyone to use this, I think this project will stay very niche.
