He said he answered questions. Seems like his answers were useless since they kept asking. And why was he answering, and not someone from the team? This is classic situation in onboarding new devs on a team - the solution is to assign a dev

It exists because face is what gets visibly aged on people even if the body isn't easily distinguishable from children. Why is it called "child sexual abuse material" if no child was abused in its creation? Ad reputational da

This was not meant as a counter argument, I am interested in more on this topic. Legacy building seems like a good reason, but not scalable imho.

As a billionaire that wants to start a Dyson sphere, where is the profit / operational revenue?

by throwaway11460 2y ago
It doesn't, there's no need for planets at that time, people live on rotating artificial habitats that form the Dyson sphere itself.

Dyson spheres can be very low tech. To reiterate, it's a swarm of objects orbiting the star, not a rigid sphere. If you have the time and raw resources, it was possible with 1960s technology.

I don't think the article and researchers meant it's actual rigid sphere, that's just the Star Trek based popular opinion. Dyson Sphere is Dyson Swarm, people just didn't get it the first time.

You dismantle the planets to build Bishop Rings and O'Neill/McKendree cylinders which form your Dyson Sphere/Swarm.

This particular case is very well known and proven to be caused directly by the marketing, yes. There is no justifiable difference like beauty, durability or function between "real" and "artificial" diamonds. Only an exp

How do you know it's not bodies of willing adult pornographic actors that merely appear child-like? Why would you swap faces when you already had the pictures, if not to hide the adult facial features?

Do you expect a huge marketing campaign from BigCSAM focused on convincing pedophiles that only real CSAM proves their husband/wife truly cares about them?

I don't know about hentai but given the amounts of Japanese actors I have to skip because I don't like them appearing like children suggests they're not that interested in the safety thing...

by throwaway11460 2y ago
There are many adult actors explicitly cashing in on their child-like appearance, especially in Japan. How do you determine that the picture is a child or an adult with child-like appearance?

Probably not deliberate, but this guy has absolutely no business being in leadership. - he didn't make sure somebody helped the new team members build and run the project - he didn't make sure somebody took the new guys through th

Because he is paid to do so, not to keep his own job cushy and safe. Sometimes you're paid to automate yourself out of a job, sometimes you're paid to let someone take over - don't take the money if you're not willing to

My first step onboarding new people is to make sure an experienced dev helps the new ones make their first commit. He didn't even get them to that point. It's primarily a bad leader/manager, not bad workers that create a prob

He was leader of a team and didn't even make sure that somebody helped the new guys run and build the project? He even brags about it being nonstandard and complicated? He is the problem.

You're already excluded from banking in EU if you don't use Google or Apple online mobile services, this at least includes desktops and isn't nearly as essential.

Sometimes people just want to be independent regardless of all the autonomy, money and opportunities they are offered. It's not just about practical matters, it's about "being ourselves".

I agree completely, but consider that not everyone was part of that debate about the referendum and again - many probably were overpowered in voting and unhappy with it from the beginning. Again, it's really weird if the people who wan

A referendum decision split practically in half is a weird situation though. Imagine being part of the group that doesn't get anything because it's 3 percentage points smaller than the group that gets everything.. The difference i

I didn't propose any solution, much less viable. I told you what the reaction of people who experienced actual censorship would be, nothing else. I don't see it as reasonable, but people sometimes don't behave reasonably when

Sure they do, but those can apply to a paid position. I don't see why someone who knows enough to get paid would even consider an unpaid internship.

No, freelancers don't have the same options. Self employment is generally tied to your personal tax residency. Well not everyone is a software engineer who can create products from thin air while sitting on the toilet. Some people like

Do the online therapy apps have patient confidentiality privilege too? They definitely should, but I am not sure.

Well, I lived through that personally. There was a court hearing where they appointed a legal representative (an attorney) and a public defender, and then they argued about it for several hours during multiple hearings. The representative w

It's a bad thing because I have personal experience with the court taking over my decision making when I wasn't in a mental state to do it for myself. I'm immensely grateful even though I didn't think so at the time, fou

Usually, but not always. In my case, I'm against religion and my state can't (or shouldn't be able to) send me anywhere - but it has a duty to protect me from myself if I'm unfit to decide.

The consequence is that a unique intelligent, sentient being ceases to exist. That's absolutely terrible. And worse, they might die without receiving proper treatment or it might become available soon after.
