It's not about trusting, it's about limiting the scope of what humans must review. Auto-flag everything that looks sketchy. If the person who posted the image takes not further action, the image is blocked. If the person who posted the image is willing to take a minute to justify the image, put it in the queue for human review - obviously posters who abuse this get banned promptly.
You see only the good from giving the government power over communication, because they'll do good things with that power, and not abuse it. This is exactly the mindset of a totalitarian: always give the government more power, so that they can do more good.
Anything would have been better than that second prequel movie. I'm not sure Darth JarJar would actually have worked, but it couldn't possibly have been worse than what we got.
Star Wars was not a great film--it's just an action movie with some witty dialog--but it was an important part of our cultural heritage. Only the original version captures that important part of Star Wars: what we saw at the time. Cleaning up matting errors and similar? Sure, I can accept that as part of restoration, but when you start adding sound effects or the like, you're changing the content. Harmy did an excellent job, but Disney could do much better starting with something closer to the source.
Yeah, the minimum, in principle, ends up as the mean, in practice. Just like everyone knew a peasant girl could do in 7 months what took a duchess or cow 9.
When we converted all our remaining production Ruby code to Java, we through a party to celebrate (and it's not like Java is anything great). No joke. Ruby just sucks for maintainability. It's a step up from PHP, that is all.
It was that way for a LOOONG time. Only very recently in human history has that changed.
Still illegal. Still wrong. Still biologically normal.
BS. Oh, sure, maybe a few aristocrats married off to cement alliances, but not the norm. Rates of death in childbirth would put an end to any group that did that regularly (and there would be no point at all in a girl getting married before she was fertile). Somewhere around 15-16 maximizes population growth rates for a tribe, and almost all recorded sexual morays from early times were all about maximizing population growth rates - because that's what the primitive environment selects for.
Most taxi companies have contractors, not employees. There are no shifts. You pay a daily fee for the use of a cab (and dispatch), and it might take 8 hours to earn back that fee. You're hardly going to stop there.
Truck drivers are a very different standard than taxi drivers - a chauffeur's license is not a CDL in most places.
Some state actually is global, though - from config information, to localization, to that temperature sensor. It's good for a language to have a clear way to express that "this state is global -- if there are two copies of it, that's a problem -- but the scope isn't global and only this code here can access it". I can't think of a language that gets this right, but singletons are at least a better tool than global variables.
Messages are fundamentally the problem with OOP. Duck typing is the very thing that makes code maintenance hard. Oh, sure, it can make code easier to get started with, but easy to maintain trumps easy to shit out code any day.
"Being an implementation of CORBA" mans you should give blame where blame is due. COM and CORBA were fucking horrific travesties, based on a fundamentally incorrect notion of how to do OOP across a boundary.
Ruby is terrible for server-side code. It's a toy language with crappy support for exception handling and multi-threading.
Real production code requires structure for maintainability. And you're generally better off when that structure comes from the language itself, rather than coding conventions. Static typing is always going to be more maintainable than noting parameter types in comments. Finding problems at compile time is always going to be better than finding the same problem at runtime. Duck typing makes it easier to write that first line of code, but is the bane of code maintenance.
What problem are you solving that you're CPU bound? Something running on a phone, or a thing? Everything is I/O bound in my (server-side) experience, unless someone did something N^2 by mistake, and then the fix is algorithmic.
Well learning any language makes you a better programmer.
Only if you're totally new to programming. Once you have your head around the basics: pointers, recursion, and lambda, you're not going to learn much from just toying around with a language.
The only breadth that's useful to a professional is depth multiple times. Spend 3-5 years getting to know the ins and outs of a technical stack, everything the common libraries have to offer, how maintainable code really is, vs what looked cool at the time.
Then do it all again with another tech stack. And another. This is how you become a senior engineer.
Of course it doesn't matter, legally speaking. 16 is under the age of consent, and prostitution is illegal most places anyway.
Isn't 16 the most common age of consent in the world?
The article also quotes the guy referring to her client as a "pervert." While it is appropriate and correct that sexual engagement with a 16 year old child should be illegal, it is also biologically normal for men to be sexually attracted to girls at that age
She looked 12, though, per TFS, which is why the driver acted. That's a different story.
You think underage prostitution being caught wont make the news? Do you even think of the children bro?
The child sex trafficking in Rotherham went on for at least six years, precisely because the authorities and news suppressed any mention of it. You see, the perpetrators were immigrants, and better to kill the story than be a racist (since anyone who calls immigrants rapists is just a racist). Yes, that really happened. Yes, 1400 children were abused. Yes, that was really the reason it went on so long.
Compared to taxi companies? Taxi companies have exploitation down to a science. The usual system encourages taxi drivers to work 48 hours continuously without sleep, then sleep for a day - a bad system for everyone on the road.
If you know anything at all about DMCA takedowns, you know they're abused. If you know anything about history, you know governments consistently abuse any power given to them. If you can't see how giving the government the power to automatically delete any story it doesn't like will inevitably be abused, you're as naive as they come.
What exactly did you want to say? Taking down "Fake News" from your web site is... hm, wrong? Being forced to do it by law is... wrong? Is something wrong with your mind?
The government will fine you $500k/day for any story the government tells you is fake news. And I suspect you can't wait for a note from the government, no, you have to predict what stories the government won't like, so better error on the side of deletion. If you can't see how that is wrong, congratulations, you're a totalitarian.
Do people just go around believing that the actual purpose of a law is it's stated purpose? Do you believe salesmen, too?
It must be raining frogs: I agree with AmiMoJo. This is how the human mind works - we are pattern engines. We fit what we see to the patterns we've internalized, even when we see very little. Usually, that works quite well: even our vision is mostly synthesized from minimal data (other than the very center of our field of view, the rest is mostly fake detail), but it works so well we don't notice. But sometimes it doesn't quite work out, from biases that aren't accurate to optical illusions. Helps to be aware of it all.

Wow, you're an actual enthusiastic totalitarian. Eeesh. Kind of scary.

12 used to be the age at which girls got married.

AFAIK, this is only true for the most expensive ATMs, and the cash dispensers that banks use for bank tellers. Plenty of ATMs are very cheaply built.
I don't care about academic arguments. I just know what sucks to maintain, and code without compile-time type checking sucks to maintain.
Sure, no argument, static typing is just the wrong choice for elegant toy programs that no one uses.

Unless it matches that to bill serial numbers, still anonymous. That may happen one day, but it's not true today.

Funny that - /. posters whine exactly the same way about not wanting to move to the tech hotspots where the jobs are.
