Disney has lobbied for increased copyright durations. In fact, by what you are saying (life, remaining I assume, plus 70 years), Disney couldn’t do anything with Alice until 1968 which would be 2 years after his own death.

I’m all for company’s right to protect copyright under the terms in which copyright was originally extended, but Disney is a big fan of moving the goal posts further out.
Well I still think it shouldn't come as a surprise. We've got many example of successful industries with such culture, why would video game work any different.
You'd have to have the game invite only and do a interview with each applicant, checking their IDs and having them sign a contract after a psychological test. That's the only way, but of course, that's not possible; technically doable, but no, not possible.

You pitiful coward.
Riot does exactly that.
Your statements don't seem to line up with each other, so I'm a bit confused as to what side you're arguing for. However, assuming you are defending the use of homophobic or racial slurs as "amateur comedy" then I have to disagree. There is absolutely zero reason to defend it. There's no important discourse being suppressed by encouraging people not to use these words, and as a society there is a lot to lose by allowing antagonistic language to become common vernacular.

Just because something doesn't offend you specifically (even if you are part of the group something offensive is being said about) doesn't mean it isn't offending anyone.

It's very common in countries like the US, for you to have a lot of rights, but their coverage always ends where others' rights begin. You cannot infringe on someone else's rights, and free speech does not cover hate speech. Hateful or derogatory speech has a significant negative impact on the mental and emotional well-being of a lot of people, and suggesting that it shouldn't just because it doesn't affect you is not a valid reason to not try to educate Jimmy on how not to be insensitive.
It's just a common case of the past trying to control the future.
Not that much anymore. Riot made a good job at detecting slurs and banning their authors. Racist and homophobic slurs have completely disappeared from the game from what I observed in the recent years.

To compare, I've played some games of CS:GO this week and got called "fils de pute" in one of them. In another one, a guy spammed the n word for 5 minutes before being kicked manually by his team. It's also common to heard people arguing about how they will fuck or kill each other.

American documents containing information about things the UK government considered state secrets. If there wasn't a legal risk, why would the Guardian have complied? That's kind of unrelated to the question if you consider that legal threat justified or not, it's clearly there.
And what do you suggest we do when an open-source "biohack" results in something like this ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide

Note the mistake made, and just how subtle it was. During testing a somewhat more ad-hoc process was used to produce the drug that did not result in the bad isomere, and then it was sold with multiple isomeres in the actual drug. Regulators at the time thought that isomeres did not matter and it took years for the effects to become clear. Of course regulators did not test for things they didn't know about. Neither did the companies (not just one). Crucially the drug was NOT tested for the effect on pregnancies (and was therefore not to be taken by pregnant women, like many drugs and even some non-drug products like famously alcohol).

Furthermore: there is at least some amount of "guilt" on the part of some of the mothers: the medicine was NOT approved for use during pregnancy, and stated this.

Result: >10.000 crippled children.

Where is the guilt to be placed for this incident ? I would argue that the primary guilt is with the regulator (government) and a small amount with (most of) the mothers for taking unapproved medicine, with the rest of the mothers following doctors' prescriptions (which of course means those doctors prescribed unapproved medicine). Needless to say, the company was blamed, and forced to pay (essentially in trade for not going to prison). The German government denied any responsibility, and several other governments (famously Spain) went further: they denied anything had happened at all.

So let's say there is a timing bug in this "open source pancreas", and it starts pumping insulin into the patients bodies without cause, say at the unix epoch transition. I would guess that at least half of them won't survive.

What happens next ? Given the Thalomide incident we can make an educated guess: whatever the law says, and despite patients "accepting the risk", even when the patients explicitly make mistakes in the treatment, you can bet the government will go after whoever they can arrest, and force them to pay millions of euros, or throw them in jail for the rest of their life.

People cannot be trusted to accept responsibility for the result of picking their own treatments, even when fully informed about the risks.

How do YouTube, Facebook, and others ban illegal, unsavory content? Teams of moderators with good tools. Unfortunately, also a thankless job with the potential to give PTSD.
> To have any effect in modern elections you'd need to carry out an extensive system of vote buying, which is illegal

But this isn't a new feature of politics. It was equally true during, e.g., the period when Tammany Hall controlled New York, and vote buying was common then. When a political system is corrupted, law enforcement tends to be as well, and nominally illegal practices can flourish, even openly.
Without any exposure in practice, there is another interesting subtlety here that are related to the stereotype of 'juvenile behavior is commonly encouraged by both gaming and SV companies'.

Opinions don't happen in a vacuum, usually they are formed after carefully consulting a group of peers. It follows that men would form opinions of women after discussion with other men, women of men in discussion with other women. A couple of things that OP describes read to me like this discussion playing out in a work environment, without understanding of how the woman listening in feels about it. I can sympathise, I'd hate to hear a frank discussion of my potential as a partner or have it floating around as watercooler gossip; that talk does not belong in a workspace.

But is there any evidence that the work-as-family-and-friends atmosphere makes these discussions more public? Or are they just a general problem of workplaces? I'd believe either and I don't know where the evidence is.
The CEO speaks for the company, like it or not.
Notice how OP had to add a check after verifying two pointers against nil. A junior developer could've easily skipped it, and, if tests only go through happy paths or are non-existent, deploy it somewhere where it would explode in runtime.

Two well informed people can come to different conclusions on the same topic despite both having access to the same information.
Its their underlying believes that makes both feel their opinion is right and logical.

If you want to change opinions you have to change the underlying believes that form them. And you have to do it in a way that they feel they figured it out on their own.

If you do it in a "push down the throat" way it will just make it worse.

In that light i dont think the ban was a good idea...

Quite a few Native Americans did not willingly give up their lifestyle as soon as they could. They were herded into reservations that were way too small to continue their lifestyle. Change was forced upon them. This was especially true when the buffalo herds died off. I’m thinking in particular of the Great Plains Indians.

Overall though your point stands. It’s not like billions of people are going to willingly give up the comforts that we have. Though in part this is because it is no longer feasible to live off the land as people did thousands of years ago. The only way to go back, as you call it, is for the population of the world to decline. This would mean a drastic reduction in the birth rate. There is a number for the size of the population of the world such that if everyone of those people lived like Americans pollution wouldn’t be large enough to be a problem.
I am sorry to see your comment in gray. I was heavily downvoted as well, but I share your views fully. The counter-example of a female-dominated environment is food for thought. At work, I just avoid women altogether and go for lunch with guys so I can say almost anything without offending anyone.

Note that Rust essentially expresses all of that. It has no magic constructors, and Vec is a block of uninitialized memory along with safe partial construction of array.

It's true that it's dynamic construction (although other similar constructs allow for doing it for statically sized arrays), but it is demonstrating Rust's power: making safe APIs over `unsafe` code without having to delve into the depths of a complicated compiler/proof-assistant. This is exactly what `unsafe` is for: extending what safe code can do by temporarily stepping outside the bounds of what the language directly encodes.
People would normally call out fraud if that were the case, but it's certainly possible that it's something the bank isn't aware of yet so their systems did not catch.

It's absolutely LGBT-phobic. Do you know how many out gay professional footballers there are in the UK? Zero. Because the atmosphere around sexuality in professional football is sufficiently toxic that very few people are willing to come out before they retire.

These things can change. Thirty years ago black players had bananas thrown at them on the pitch. After a lot of work, racism is now rare at football grounds, and generally stamped on when it appears. We could do the same with anti-gay slurs too, if we cared enough.
> What’s wrong with the tech sector when it comes to computer science? Maybe the science is no longer required?

That's part of it. I'm a CS grad, but I'm "rare" in my circle. Some of it comes from this "natural born programmer genius" vibe.

Don't misread me, I work with some truly talented programmers that weren't CS and some mediocre ones that were, but it has gotten to the point where people are specifically looking at degrees that aren't CS for dev jobs.
The only joke here is the fact that you were gullible enough to fall for her "I wasn't serious" excuse.

https://archive.fo/7m0Tz

Hundreds of racist tweets over a period of years. That's just good old fashioned racism, nothing humorous about it.
Football (soccer) is probably a poor choice of analogy, given that it has a reputation for racism - everything from bananas thown at players to blaming "immigrants" for team failures. Or even for successes - there were people complaining that the winning French team wasn't white enough.

There are no "out" male professional footballers. This is statistically implausible; the homophobia is sufficiently bad that they have to remain closeted for their career and maybe safety.

Football fans also occasionally produce "ultras" notorious for physical violence: fights with each other and the police, which can be fatal.

And here in Scotland, we've the joy of sectarianism added to the mix as well, with cheerful songs about Fenian blood.
This isn't the way things are though, at least no where I've worked. I work in the finance industry as a software developer and if any of that stuff happened, there would be a huge outcry and some serious reprimands and firings.

In most of America things are nothing like that. These are immature people that got lucky and rich and still act like frat boys.
Thank you for your respectful response. I’d like to say that, if you were in charge of hiring people, you’d try to calculate the risks when hiring someone. Hiring a women is unfortunately way too risky. You can find dozens of these posts with no proof whatsoever, but people will believe them and support the writer no matter what (some people even go and insult like you, because they can’t handle people having different opinions).
I would expect that to be true of any industry that people are desperate to work in - especially one that hires mainly grads who don't have any experience of what a "normal" workplace should look like.
What saddens me about this story when it first cropped up back in 2016 is how powerless I feel to be able to do anything directly.

Rising sea temperatures is not (as far as I'm aware) something we're "directly" doing, but rather the net result of collective actions by humanity world wide. We can't point to one person/orgainsation/political party/etc and get them to fix this.

The whitening of the Great Barrier Reef, along with the natural damage caused by immense hectares of open mines dug up across Australia is too abstract a concept for most city-dwelling Aussies to really care about since it doesn't impact on our day to day lives.

> Without that invention 40% of

What's the source for that 40% number? I'm skeptical of such claims because usually they're only narrowly focused on, in this case, how much of current agriculture would be sustainable without fertilizer assuming current land usage and prices.

But of course if we didn't have fertilizer we would have never ended up with the current system, and e.g. meats would be a lot more expensive since they take more land to raise than vegetables, which would be in harder competition with them due to higher prices on land.

This is likely similar to claims that "in N years we'll run out of fossil fuels". No, in N years we'll run out of areas that are currently economical to mine for fossil fuels, but at that point prices will rise and new fields will open up.

I think the time pressure element of learning is silly. Is the purpose of an exam to test learning speed or understanding of the material? If the former, why not have a specific test for it, as opposed to using a test of understanding of arbitrary material as a proxy? If the latter, why can't you pay to take the test at a later date? Why should it matter how long it took you to learn if your results are up to scratch in the end? Thank god life gives us a chance to accomplish things at our own pace!

50 MHz 8051 can usually be beat by 1 MHz ARM CPU.

8051 uses several (typically 4 or 12, etc. [1]) clock cycles for one actual machine cycle. So an instruction that takes "2" cycles, can actually take 24 clock cycles.

Of course, some modern 8051 clones are more efficient. Some of them can execute one instruction per actual clock cycle.

Even then, one ARM instruction can often do work of 2-10 8051 instructions. 8051 is particularly bad at pointer arithmetic (except incrementing pointer by one) and, of course being an 8-bit CPU, 16/32 bit math.

[1]: ftp://ftp.ti.com/pub/data_acquisition/MSC_CD-ROM/8051_Tutorial/tuttimng.html

"Microcontrollers (and many other electrical systems) use crystals to syncrhronize operations. The 8051 uses the crystal for precisely that: to synchronize it’s operation. Effectively, the 8051 operates using what are called "machine cycles." A single machine cycle is the minimum amount of time in which a single 8051 instruction can be executed. although many instructions take multiple cycles.

A cycle is, in reality, 12 pulses of the crystal. That is to say, if an instruction takes one machine cycle to execute, it will take 12 pulses of the crystal to execute. Since we know the crystal is pulsing 11,059,000 times per second and that one machine cycle is 12 pulses, we can calculate how many instruction cycles the 8051 can execute per second:

11,059,000 / 12 = 921,583

This means that the 8051 can execute 921,583 single-cycle instructions per second. Since a large number of 8051 instructions are single-cycle instructions it is often considered that the 8051 can execute roughly 1 million instructions per second, although in reality it is less--and, depending on the instructions being used, an estimate of about 600,000 instructions per second is more realistic."

> I had no idea that revving my loud ass motorbike on a residential street at 1AM was annoying people

I was on a train going into London earlier this week and the guy sat behind me insisted on playing music loudly on his phone speaker. Which doubles the annoyance of being both terrible music (imo) and terrible distorted sound quality.

I asked him to turn it down after being annoyed for a bit, which he did for 5 minutes and then took a phone call (speakerphone, obvs) and turned the music back on.

I guess he knew I wasn't going to keep making a fuss and so didn't give a shit. It was mildly infuriating - but what are you going to do?

I love me some internet, but would I trade it for the possible annihilation of humankind? I'm being facetious, but only slightly; the fact that we wouldn't end up wiping humanity from the face of the earth was far from evident at the time (and still looms).

You can probably run a calculation on how many lives military tech has saved (GPS, drones, evac helicopters), and it may come out as a net benefit, but I'm not sure you'd be able to convince an Afghani that his family's lives were worth an incremental technology improvement.

I choose to believe that we are capable of taking on large experimental projects without them being connected to aggression.
