I'm not sure whether OP referred to pedophilia at all. I understood this much more in the spirit of subjecting young boys to weapons and explosive training in camps.

While I agree with your points, it's not the only outcome. As a German, technically the US did the same thing to our country in '45: Throw bombs, invade and then occupy it — then gradually leave and pull out and let us handle our

For pretty long now. I've been interning in a larger German animation studio in 2003 and while the directors and key animators were sitting on site, I distinctly remember being stunned by the logisitics of the weekly arriving Betamax t

And to add the last big one from the trifecta: Know how to deal with cacheable data. Know how to deal with uncacheable data. But by all means, know how to keep them apart. Accidentally caching uncacheable data has lead so some of the most u

From what I'm understanding the hard part of doing that stuff concrete is curation time. There's a lot of projects trying the "easy" route and effectively do additive 3D printing with concrete instead of glue. Conversely

Wow, it‘s actually public… in hindsight, I should probably not be surprised, but it has the same eery feel to me like when I learned that Hitler had actually written down all of his plans around eradicating Jews and Germanic world dominance

I meant to write a lengthy answer here, but this one hits the nail on the head. Companies take the full risk for starting projects and hiring people: especially those just very indirectly relevant to the bottom line. For that, they get the

That, and you just didn't just go to a system that's hard to attack, but also hard to develop for. Can you write software for that microcontroller in C? Sure, although you'd probably prefer Rust. Now if you managed to find so

So the US has city layouts that were exclusively designed around cars since the 50s and never had any design change. Put into that a maximally polarized society that for one half gets all woke and concious now, trying to navigate this maze

I just love how good us humans can get at nichy distinction topics if we just keep at the task long enough (and start early). We once had a film crew in our school trying to get some shots of us at the computer. I overheard them having big

Do any of my parent comments have any actual management experience? Because while it‘s super easy to ramble about managers, they‘re essential to any company that‘s larger than a dozen people. Management attracts scorn. I have to ignore it a

As having been on both sides of the relationship building effort, my vote would be for just email: quick, scrappy and personal. For example Taylor from Focusmate once reached out to core users by just saying „hey, it‘s me, Taylor, not a mar

Having played both, I must say I was more intrigued by The Dig than SC2. Granted, Star Control had a pretty great story arc, but the feel was just very comic-arcade-like. I also played it because it was so hyped and maybe my expectations we

To be honest, one of the best predictors I have for job performance is learning something new in a job interview. Sometimes I get the feeling there are far to few people like this in the industry, but if I want to hire great colleagues, tha

Oh god, no. Finance itself is the worst place to get anything done, since their view is almost always a reactive one. When accounting and controlling are done setting up their cost centers, the most logical place from their view would be to
