She was so perfect as Delenn, one of my favorite characters, in my all-time favorite show. Babylon-5 was a big part of my formative years and some of her best scenes and voice still rattle around in my mind. I am truly saddened by this news

I am currently making my way through "The Fantasy Fiction Formula" by Deborah Chester. It's my first stab at this kind of thing, so it has been really eye opening. When I read any kind of fiction now, I can't help but ma

ok. This is basically what I said, so it seems like I did not explain it well enough. It's like what Google did in China. They did not want to agree to the censorship terms imposed by the Chinese government so they stopped operating th

After reading a lot of the feedback here, I spoke to my tech lead. He admitted that he had been significantly harder on me than others because I was less experienced. He trusted it less and it was easier for him to just rewrite than bother

>No, it's not. There is absolutely no way you could know that. However, it speaks volumes about your character that you would declare it so confidently.

This is absurd. Twitter etc are private companies and can do what they want wrt their user's accounts. If they don't want their far-right politicians getting censored, then they can ban those platforms from the country completely.

Yep. If he has issues with it, fine. If he does though, I want him to bring this up during the code review process rather than passive-aggressively re-writing it after the fact.

I want him to stop doing it and treat me like the other members of the team. So, I guess I want advice on how to make that happen, if it's even possible.

There's so much to unpack here. I am hoping someone with a legal background can weigh in.

Good for them. It's time for workers stand up for themselves again. I hope the authorities there do an audit to see where all those stolen wages have gone and recover them.

This is an interesting point. The problem, I think, is that as individuals, we only have feelings based on our own experiences. So, perhaps in an aggregate sense, there is more suffering of all the men men who are slightly stigmatized becau

Wow. Are you really saying that the men who consume porn are equally victimized as actual sex workers, because of an algorithm? In the sense that algorithms do nudge our behaviour in insidious ways, addicted consumers of porn can be seen as

I have the exact opposite experience tbh. It probably depends on the network of people you engage with. Twitter is, for me, mostly about professional networking. I just tweet about software development and follow other developers. Facebook

Am I the only one that thinks this is kind of nice? I was just putting together a personal portfolio website and thinking about adding a feature like this. But I hadn't yet because of the work involved. This will make it a lot easier.

She's a data scientist, not a security expert. Holding her to this standard is unfair and very much blaming the victim.

You're right -- the new bike paths etc have not affected this. It's more a function of how parking in downtown is virtually non-existent. So if you want to go there, you need to take a taxi or public transport (or have someone d

This is the crux of the problem. There are no economic incentives for this, even if it became very cheap. We would simply have to agree, as a global society, to invest in carbon capture because it's the right thing to do. Given our t

> How do you expect to capture the carbon piece into a stable compound that can be buried without expending more energy? This is a bit of a strawman. No one is claiming that it will be somehow energy neutral or break thermodynamics. It w

I have been wondering about using this lately too. Why not set up carbon capture units near alternative energy sources? It is certainly not going to be cheap and there are no real economic incentives for it other than hope for future genera
