" So my question is: do doctors routinely slip porn into a presentation about a clinical studies trial? Does a lawyer slip porn into his slides for his closing remarks? Does anyone honestly think either of those would go over well?"
The point is not everyone agrees those images are "porn". And if they were, that it is inappropriate to do so.
People have a range of opinions from "utterly disgusting" to "wtf? It is just a presentation at a conference."
That is the "problem".
- ankhmoop 18y agoThe inappropriateness of the images is their context -- whether classified as porn or merely risque, their only purpose in this talk was to cloud a technological discussion on the state non-relational distributed key/value databases and their comparison to RDBMs systems, and in doing so unnecessarily offended a significant subset of the audience. For example, compare slides 15 (RDBMs): http://www.slideshare.net/mattetti/couchdb-perform-like-a-pr0n-star/15 http://www.slideshare.net/mattetti/couchdb-perform-like-a-pr... and 52 (CouchDB): http://www.slideshare.net/mattetti/couchdb-perform-like-a-pr0n-star/52 http://www.slideshare.net/mattetti/couchdb-perform-like-a-pr...
