That isn't quite the case, it is more so due to negative attention in the media from child killers and the like. Most of it actually tends to be thirty year old magazines, nudes and things the minors (perhaps foolishly) upload themselves.

This may also seem morally wrong, so to speak, but the consequences for such are exactly the same as if you were to watch someone getting whipped and violently raped. There isn't really an incentive to go for anything "less bad", especially considering it is an innate attraction you can never get rid of.

In some states, the sentences for outright molesting dozens of kids is lighter than looking at some images or videos on your computer. It is ludicrous and it is almost as if the state cares more about "Out of sight, out of mind" than anything else.

They're even throwing people in prison for looking at cartoons or having the wrong books.

The question at the end of the day is... What exactly are people supposed to do then? Commit suicide? Perhaps genocide 0.1% to 1% of the population who have these "wrong thoughts"? The paranoia has gotten so bad that some viruses even plant CP on your computer.
During exploratory programming I don't care at all about readability, just about find a path - any path - to something that works. As soon as I have that readability starts to matter and the first order of battle is then to refactor out all the dead ends and to make the whole thing look good. That's because the project now has long term perspective.

It is sad, isn’t it? I wish it didn’t happen so frequently, and I wish my concerns weren’t dismissed so flippantly. How fortunate I am to have met someone who knows more about my situation than I do.
The other part of the story is that one of the reasons the husband is able so easily not care about the cards is because he does not get judged by anyone for not doing it. It isn't just that he is IGNORING the judgement... he is literally not getting any.

I am not sure what the solution is, but just wanted to point out why it is reductive to just say "why can't the wife just not care like the husband doesn't care?" Maybe the husband would care if he was judged like the wife.

Also, your #3 suggestion won't necessarily solve the issue... sexism is very ingrained, and even if you tell the MIL to talk to the husband, it doesn't mean the MIL will suddenly start holding her son responsible for the cards... she very well might still expect them from the DIL.
"something very special about Earth's position that makes it far more likely than we initially calculate" - makes what far more likely ? Spawning life? If so, then that special factor, whatever it is, would simply be an example of a great filter behind us. I'm not saying that we can't be the first ones, I'm just noting that us being the first implies that we're alone in the galaxy.

To make that point perhaps more clearly, let's say that before and including us, our galaxy has had X planets like Earth. Whatever that X is (1 or 1000 or billions), the total number of such planets that our galaxy will ever have is less than 2X. That doesn't rely on any poorly understood theories, that doesn't rely on any aspects of how life or intelligence might form - the lifecycle of stars is well understood, the age of universe is well understood, and the future has less new stars and planets than the past; we're currently past the midpoint of star/planet forming and that's that, most of the planets that will ever exist in our galaxy either exist right now (most of them for longer than Earth) or are gone already.

So whatever the "dice" of a suitable planet existing and creating intelligent life are - if we're the first ones (and I'm not making a point whether we are or aren't, whether that's likely or not, that "if" is an assumption), if X rolls of dice resulted in just a single success - then the remaining less than X rolls simply won't suddenly roll a hundred more successes; if the total number of spawned civilizations until us is 1, then that means that the total number of spawned civilizations until end of the universe would be 1 or 2 - and if it's 2, then it would be a hit-by-a-lightning-while-typing-this level of coincidence is that second one happened to arise at the same insignificantly tiny moment in time that constitutes the existence of homo sapiens until now, just some tiny 100 000 years after us instead of some 10 000 000 or much more years after us.

OR, possibly, there are and will be much more civilizations than that - but then some of them have been long before us.

> I would think that a forum full of software engineers could think of other reasons projects go over budget than graft.

We're not talking about projects in the private domain. We're talking about government projects. Look at the Obamacare website boondoggle. Or the recent lack of backups in Baltimore when hit with ransomware. When it's a government project, it's very fair to consider graft and corruption as the primary causes, especially as they often lead to favoring incompetent people in charge of executing the project.
Why is that? You can easily look at the requests and see where the numbers are coming from. It's not as easy as right clicking in the browser but if it would be a normal Desktop app it would also not work like that.

As an ex console games developer, I'd say they absolutely do. There may be a difference in the fidelity & geometric complexity of the output, and it's not all a singular focus by one person or as pretty as the trees made by Grove8, but the methods being used even in mobile games are building on decades of compounding scientific work. Procedural geometry and shading models are just the easy ones to point at, but generally speaking, physics, AI, design, gameplay, and art are all compounding as well.

When DRM exists: “Hey I watched this movie that hasn’t been released from Disney last night, have a copy and you can enjoy it too!”

> If one person demands to set the standard for what chores should be done...

...then they are exerting dominance over the other person. That's true regardless of whether they're setting the standard above or below what the other would prefer. They might also be taking on a greater burden in meeting that standard ... or they might not. There are plenty of families where one person sets the standard for the other to execute, or to work and pay for hired help to execute. In the end, it's usually impossible to address the work-imbalance issue without addressing the power-imbalance issue first, and anyone who makes assumptions about who exercises the power within a household is a fool.

I'd suspect that driver support negating for new hardware when it came to replacing aging hardware in area's in which it was still used as an OS, played a big part. So banks, that bridge to the mainframe and other niche area's in which they had a system that ran on that OS and never replaced.
That's incarceration. My comment is about justice in general. Incarceration is only one of many avenues of justice. Others include capital punishment, corporal punishment, fines, asset forfeiture, exile, expulsion from school, or registration on a public list (such as the sex-offender registry).

The effects of all of these vary widely, and many of them have very long-running debates on their merits (or lack thereof). I think it's premature to claim that any one of these concepts has a primary purpose, let alone a universally agreed-upon one.

Still here, still what most public secure DNS run, still secure and reliable, still being constantly improved, and new implementations keep being written.

https://dnscrypt.info

The protocol was recently extended with Anonymized DNS, a mechanism that hides client IP addresses from resolvers by using relays dedicated to secure DNS forwarding. A new network of DNS relays is currently being deployed.

https://www.reddit.com/r/dnscrypt/comments/dhoxah/anonymized...

dnscrypt-proxy, the reference client implementation, is at version 2.0.29.beta3, released yesterday.

There is a new, easy to use and deploy implementation in Rust to add DNSCrypt support server-side, Encrypted DNS Server: https://github.com/jedisct1/encrypted-dns-server

DoH, DNSCrypt and DNS relaying can happily share the same TCP port 443.

A complete protocol description has been available for years, but turning it into an IETF document is time consuming. It will eventually happen, but as an independent project, writing software has been prioritized over marketing.
For permanent roles sure. You might as well be a contractor at that point and contractors get paid more.

> Also checkr basically helps put people out of jobs by background checking them.

I’m sure this is true, but it’s also by design.

As a B2B SaaS company, we have customer contracts requiring background checks of all of our employees (and the customer’s lawyer wouldn’t negotiate that clause). So, since we didn’t want to churn that customer, we signed, and now we run background checks on all new hires.
Highly doubtful, he probably hit the accelerator in the turn and overdid it. There's no way your pickup out handled a performance car on blacktop.
Wow, if you are going to do this, at least have the JS call some endpoint like "/check-how-many-people-also-want-this/some-id" and name the element "how-many-people-also-want-this". As a dev tasked with implementing this dark pattern that is the least you could do.
Cake is one of the photo-oriented social media sites that popped up on my radar during the G+.

I'm not really agreeing or disagreeing with your viewpoints, but your logic here seems weird. In that particular case, nothing would ever convince them that people aren't looking at it, even if they weren't.

>smart people only get to make up better rationaizations

This is something that I took long to learn and now preach to all friends who will listen:

"You're smart. For many life situations, that's not a positive. Whatever it is you want to do at any given moment, your mind will find a way to justify it no matter how wrong or unhealthy the action is. It takes a lot of work to reign in a smart mind working against you".

For an simple example, be around a person when they start going to the gym and then proceed to listen closely how they come up with excuses to not go any given day.
> I think the killer language will be typescript with access to both the python and JavaScript ecosystems. We'll see what that looks like.

I think this is an extremely good idea. Python is horrible but forced on a huge number of developers because of its ecosystem ... I think a bridging layer from typescript to python could be built in a way similar to swift’s Python Interop — and I don’t think it would require any special language support ...

I think could actually make a better/easier to use/more robust design than Swift by requiring all interactions with the python interpreter from node be async.
I agree, when it comes to adults. Children do not belong in adult prison, in my view.
I don't disagree with you, but since the censorship and deplatforming people have been arguing about lately is the kind that prevents people from talking to willing audiences they have 'earned' already, that seems besides the point.
A decent chunk of computer security work seems to be around finding these same exploits in new devices, since we haven't convinced ourselves to stop reinventing and selling new connectivity devices :)

i.e. - it's not a new technique, but a new instance of the problem, and that makes it worthwhile (especially for something widely used in private environments) to explore and expose.

It'd be nice if we could reach some kind of device/phone capability plateau and reduce consumption of new equipment. And ideally settle on a small set of software to use on those, which could be hardened and made reliable over time.

Until then, ...
What I don't understand: with highest level protection does HDMI sends encrypted stream which is supposed to be decrypted by chip in display (which should support DRM, of course) or decoding happens in PC and HDMI carried decoded signal? Because if latter is the case, it should be more or less trivial to just save stream from HDMI, so those protections mean nothing and trivially by-passed by available hardware.

Apparently so, yes, but I'd contest that evoking an emotional response in other people is actually mental labor to begin with, and correctly applying the ideas derived thereof is then the emotional labor.

EDIT: It appears it's a two-to-Tango issue. All the cases mentioned are with another party involved, and whether it is to incite emotion or prevent it (i.e. e.g. hiding an aggravation as a flight attendant), the emotional work being done is within the subject itself.

What's your definition of performing?

The P/E may be great, but 386 souls lost, billions in lawsuits and expenses due to groundings, and a scandal the likes of which we haven't seen in decades does not strike me as performing well.

Maybe it doesn't warrant as extreme a measure of nationalizing the company and disrupting it's operations, but clearly, there should have been more capability for pushback against unrealistic sales objectives by the people actually responsible for designing and building the dang thing.
