I think what's interesting about this is that his ethical action was against his own company's interest. He spoke up for his engineering team and what he believed to be true, to an external body, at the expense of the executives and business partners at his company.

I feel like there are a lot of parallels in modern-day situations. The common wisdom around PR is to get control of this kind of situation to prevent it.

I joined my girlfriend to a chess tournament of the local club once. Old vs. young. They were an adult short, and I know the rules, so I volunteered to play - otherwise there would be a kid without an opponent every round (my plan had been to write some code in a corner, but entertaining the kids, why not right?).

I lost every game. The kids were something like 10 years old. Admittedly, I know little more than the rules, but I expected to at least give one or two of them trouble by playing logical. Not so...

They had the best time, seeing in how many moves they could beat me. In my last game I tried an unusual (okay, stupid) opening hoping to at least break any pattern they have, but that just made me lose even faster. Be weary of 12-year-olds if they're playing in a chess club!
Ah gotcha ,

Thanks for the reply !

Almost all 3D softwares have ways to write shaders with node based programming. If that is how this is being posed, there is nothing special to this.
Pretty good list. A few things I noticed though. The author seems to refer to any software that is commercial, as shareware. That is not accurate.

Also, Synergy is not free anymore. I believe there is a recent free fork-- Barrier I believe?

I like the author's idea about using SecureCRT and ssh localhost. There are so many good Windows terminal options available now though with WSL being so prominent, that this option is certainly not something you should need to have to do (eg, Alacritty etc makes for a beautiful Powershell experience)

Total Commander is certainly amazing, and believe stays fully functional forever after an initial startup nag, much like WinRAR.

Speaking of WinRAR, I still use it, partly for nostalgia sake, and partly because it has a feature that 7zip does not have-- and that is to select a bunch of archives, and to extract each one and then delete the archive. This is very handy if you don't have a lot of extra drive space past what the archives are using (haven't found a way to make 7z do this even via CLI options; although I'm sure you could script it with power/cmd shell script, but 7z does not appear to have a builtin switch for that exact functionality of deleting the archive after extraction).

Also, perhaps this original list is (relatively) old, even though it appears to have been updated 3 weeks ago. That doesn't diminish any of the tools, however certain items may be deprecated, such as HijackThis, which appears to have gotten eaten up by Trend Micro. Looks like one can find it at oldversion.com, however, it would be inadvisable to use given the unlikelihood of the database being updated/current.

I feel compelled to make the very-adjacent-to-the-article statement that "Starship Troopers" is not an adaptation of the novel, but at best a vacuum-forming of another script into the space of Starship Troopers.

IIRC, the original script was called something like "Bug Hunt at Outpost 9" and someone at the studio said "Hey, we can get the rights to Starship Troopers and this thing will sell better."
Sexuality consists of much more than plain sexual imagery - one of the key examples in the article states "Neither character is glamorous in this scene, but their relationship feels frisky and lived-in and charismatic and real." Mainstream movies generally have romances, but do they feel real and lived in, or stilted? This has little to do with pornography, and more to do with the way we tell stories about ourselves.
At global level:

Oops. That's not a singleton. That depends on nobody, ever, anywhere in the code creating another one. In contrast, a true singleton can enforce that there is only one, no matter what the callers do.
To be fair though, part of that is because they hunt at night.

There are a few places here in Sydney where you see a remarkable cloud of bats feeding in bright light - the lights over the harbour bridge and several of the tax buildings bordering the Botanic Gardens regularly have flocks of bats whirling around presumably attracted to all the insects flying in the bright lights...
Your definition removes all distinction between the concept of a protocol, and the concept of an API. Google Calendar doesn't implement the Google Calendar Protocol, there is no standards body involved in determining how Google Calendar works, you're not free to go an implement your own Google Calendar compatible service, and Google can change Google Calendar without consultation with anybody. There is no definition of protocol where a single-service API, designed, implemented and published by a single party is a protocol. Google Calendar implements an API.

If your argument is that companies should be compelled to publish good API documentation, and allow any client to connect to them, then aside from creating a completely unnecessary system of regulatory moats, and aside from using the wrong words to describe this idea, you're likely to run directly into a 1A violation.
There are almost 7.7 billion people on the planet already, even with less than replacement birthrates, I think we're good on human count for the next 300 years or so at a minimum so unless the birth rate really catastrophically collapses. We could lose an order of magnitude of people without endangering genetic diversity, take significant load off of the environment, and frankly, quite probably improve the human condition with fewer billions of other people to compete with in the world. I recommend seeing how we can extend this trend to demographics and countries it hasn't reached yet.
Is this a side effect of normalizing porn, that sexuality is more effectively partitioned?

I once had a debate in an online forum about legalizing prostitution, and most participants were supportive of it. Then I asked the same group, what about legalizing partial prostitution, like a receptionist that also has sex with the boss as part of the job description. The participants all immediately switched to revulsion at the idea and none would support it.

So why is 100% sex work less exploitative than 50% sex work? I don't think it is. But for some reason our culture finds specialist sex workers more tolerable. The same pressure seems to be bifurcating entertainment.
If you've ever worried about your future, job prospects, the unknown, the fear of not being able to provide, these thoughts are heavy.

Game Theory (2007)
At the risk of taking this thread further off-topic from OP, I just want to point out that in the two posts you've made here, you've provided a timely example of exactly what I described: you made vague references to 'credible' sources without citing them, included some authoritative-sounding numbers, but have yet to make a single claim that could be either proven or refuted. You try to make it sound like you're just a skeptical rationalist. Although, I am sure when you are amongst more suggestible people you speak with even greater authority and make stronger claims about the dangers of vaccines. That is to say, pure bullshit!

I don't normally do this, but based on keywords you've inexplicably crammed into your HN profile and a cursory reading of your own websites and posts that you've linked to from there, you fit the bill exactly. Paranoiac, self-congratulatory screeds about the deluded masses that you've somehow managed to emerge from as some kind of enlightened individualist. Seriously, consider how much effort you are exerting to construct this elaborate justification for your conditions. You would be much better off if you just focused on improving your station in life without positioning yourself as John Galt amongst a world gone astray.

The idea is that keeping people occupied and diverted then you can fail as a civil leader but still maintain your control and position. The more people are satisfied (by government or business efforts or other large scale entities) the less likely they are to rebel when those entities are failing them. Even if they aren't properly satisfied, they're still made content.
Aircraft software is different. Pilots are supposed to know this kind of thing when they get a type rating. The chief engineer absolutely should do. Knowing which sensors the autopilots are using is not even arcane, it's basic knowledge.

Please when you downvote take the time to explain why you downvoted but dont insutl me or my gender or my country. If it unrelated to misogyny and hate for non-whites, then fee freel to explain exactly why you are downvoting me. I really want to know and engage in convo if your downvoting is made not out of political allegiance and blind following of the politics of Mr Kolmisopi but because as free thinking individuals you have a logical argument to downvote me.

"Do not look in laser bean with remaining eye."
Personally I use escorts, it is not easy finding an independent, good looking, permissive, not-very-expensive girl but by my calculations that's a far more efficient way of satisfying my inner-chimp until I want to get married and have kids.

I do not want to participate in some mating ritual that involves two persons lying to each other in order to just relieve some sexual tension. In Romania I do not feel that generally girls are ok with no strings attached sex without this dishonest dance and even so, I couldn't probably get as attractive a girl as an escort. Maybe I could by investing a lot more time than I'm comfortable with just to satisfy a basic urge... but for 100$ I can have sex with girls of the same level of say Emma Stone that really know what they're doing.

So if I make even 25$/h that's 4h of work for 1 sex session, which will take place entirely when I feel the desire for it. To find a similar (looking) girl that will have sex "for free" will probably take more than 10x more time and even then the actual sex might not be as good. Even if it is as good it will happen when the stars align and we both want it at the same time.

"Democracy" in which the president has closed 3 popular TV channels with a single executive order, applies sanctions against leader of the second largest political party, and has tried to pass a clearly unconstitutional law to disband the сonstitutional сourt. "Democracy" in which the main security agency uses far-right nationalist forces to terrorize opponents [0] and fabricates a moronic political case [1] against a blogger who dares to harshly criticize the president and who is a leader of a rising political party.

"War with Russia" in which Ukrainian citizens fight against Ukrainian citizens. If you don't trust my word, just look at the lists of the latest prisoner swaps, not a single Russian citizen there. The war which has started with clearly unconstitutional use of military forces against its own citizens and in which the freshly installed government has targeted administrative buildings in the center of Lugansk with no armed rebels in it using a military plane (they have tried to launch a stupid fake about an exploded AC, but recently they have officially confirmed that it was indeed a warplane target).

Note that I do not deny Russian involvement in the Ukrainian civil war, but you do not call the Syrian civil war a "Syria-American war", do you? Foreign involvement in civil wars is more of a rule, not an exception.

> When revisiting a beloved Eighties or Nineties film, Millennial and Gen X viewers are often startled to encounter long-forgotten sexual content : John Connor’s conception in Terminator, Jamie Lee Curtis’s toplessness in Trading Places, the spectral blowjob in Ghostbusters. These scenes didn’t shock us when we first saw them. Of course there’s sex in a movie. Isn’t there always?

None of those were major studio action blockbusters (Terminator, one might mistake for that because of the resulting franchise, but it was an indie film that hit it big; all the rest are out-of-genre.)

So, if those are really your comparisons, the problem may be that you are comparing fundamentally different kinds of movies. The description of “even when they have sex no one is horny” seems to be pretty typical, over a long time window, of action blockbusters. Horniness is big in comedy, romance, and erotic subgenres of other genres, but it's not big in action (though non-blockbusters might include it because they tend to have more freedom to depart from genre rules.)

One interesting thing about them is even the beautiful stars often have bad teeth :-) Dentistry in those days wasn't very good.
> But for some reason our culture finds specialist sex workers more acceptable.

Does it? You asked this on an online forum, not a national survey. I don't think our culture has a majority view on the nuance of prostitution. The most engagement I'd expect on this topic is from people who feel strongly that it shouldn't exist at all.

They own LexisNexis too. It’s an interesting philosophy where they seem to try to corner information that is free, or should. Then charge rents on top of it.
I had the same irritation when our desk phones were replaced by Voip around 15 years ago, I had a nice avaya 8434 phone with bright green LED display, you could see caller ID from across the room if you were away from your desk talking to a colleague.

Is the handshake unencrypted? Would this make it easy to MITM?
I think there's definitely a need for this and have thought about building something similar myself. I think one thing that is crucial which I don't see mentioned in any of your pricing plans is the ability to self host. You could dockerize your application and make it super easy for creators to set it up on their own infra. Otherwise they still have a large platform risk, they've just shifted it from youtube to your company.
Yes! Although after binging watching 21 seasons of Midsomer Murders, we noticed everyone in the later season got a lot hotter. Consequently, the plot lines got a lot more “conventional” (read: American).

> This stresses me out as a young and not sexually active millennial. What do we do as a society to improve some of these trends? Do we want to? What do I do as an individual to change my individual situation?

Why do we need to? The data shows that sex, drug use, etc., actually peaked with baby boomers. They were peak frivolity. It’s only because they created all the media for decades that we think those were good things. Millennials are a more sober and serious generation for a more sober and serious time. No need to regress.
If I read it correctly, California state constitution amendments are from popular vote in the state - the California legislature can only put them on the ballot to be voted on (and then, its a 2/3 vote there - easier to get 8% of the previous total vote to petition).

The Supreme Court can't rule against it because it is constitutional because it is the constitution.
I assume this will relax slightly as we see lockdowns and masks ease up after most of a population has herd immunity from vaccines.

Maybe it’s just me, but I roll my eyes at anything sexual in TV and movies. They’re usually completely unnecessary to the storyline, and almost feels like a quota (sex scene, check). Even The Simpsons throws in unnecessary sexual plots, and every time I see them, I can’t understand why they added it in.
Perhaps, since the larger piece would have more mass than the smaller, therefore it would impact with more force, and for a more sustained period, allowing it to reach criticality?
How does this explain the historical trends that are the subject of the article? Are you saying that fewer children were trying to watch TV in the 90s?
Take this with a grain of salt but from the little examples I've seen it looks like a nightmare for any type of large application. I would much rather have increased power in the type system rather than having arbitrary code run and fail builds in an ad-hoc fashion.
I keep up with the diet and fitness regimen not because of the hollywood ideal body, which I gave up on decades ago, but because I'm entering the years when cognitive decline starts. Diet and fitness are crucial to staving that off.
I've been waiting for a commercial device to come out after hearing about this a decade ago. Some kind of simple blackbox that kills mosquitos in a reasonable vicinity with low power requirements that's also rechargeable via USB. Possibly add a big battery and make it a USB charger.

I don't think 30cm distance is far enough for much usefulness, feels like commercial viability means at least 1m if not 2m. 30cm is 'put object by the food' use case and not much else, and mosquitos aren't really into food. Perhaps it could work by tent openings but not sure.
Quadra 605 was the first Mac I had. I was like 13... I did so much exploring the early internet on that thing, I loved it. I didn't realize it was the cheapest option at the time but it makes sense now.

Same here in New Zealand.
I guess we’re just going to disagree there. In my view it is completely immoral to give birth to people but not build them a place to live. It is as immoral as suggesting that people should leave their city upon retirement, and for the same reason.
Do you mean that he's an actor in the sense that he's acting while on camera, or that he's an actor in the sense that his aspirations from the start have been the actual profession and art of acting, but he just failed to get into it and this stuff is his backup? I get the impression that you mean the latter, but it seems far more likely that it's the former. Not that it's unlikely he didn't at some point try and get into film, but he's been in tech sales and reviews from before he ever would have had a real go at failing to get into acting gigs.
Reminded me of a line in American Beauty, when the two gay neighbours are jogging, and Lester joins them and asks them for tips to get in shape[1]:

- Lester: "I want to look good naked"

Tiny point: "It was all bullshit: no one looks like that without calorie restriction."

I'm 6' and I've weighted 135-145 pounds for my entire adult life and I'm 50+. Being a guy, I never restricted my calorie intake. I'd expect there are women with a similar metabolism.

Which isn't to say that a lot of skinny celebrities aren't dieting like mad to get this look. But probably some percentage aren't and the rest hate them. Human physiology is weird. Also, and, despite my mythical natural skinny, no one has put me in movies, darn it.
