Shown here are two good reasons for why people don't respect the police anymore. They take your assets due to a subtle association to a crime. They spend it without oversight on tools of mass surveillance. Ultimately, both of these things exacerbate crime. Quite an occupying force nowadays.
They're clearly in the wrong on these things, but I wonder how hard it is to resist a strong "us vs those thugs" reaction when you're dealing with criminals day after day. Do they view this as collateral damage? There are innocent lives lost in military action. Does the prevailing attitude and a sense of permitting some collateral damage make it easier for them to excuse this sort of behaviour?
Engineers are respected for their ingenuity, intelligence, real-world problem-solving, studious determination, maybe even grit. These skills are on the opposite spectrum from vanity skills(presentation, socializing, marketing), which unfortunately are at the core of gendered expectations for girls. Since engineering skills actually reflect a depth of the holder(especially in our vanity driven world), they implicitly demand more respect. Really, more professional females in engineering is the only way forward for current gender issues. I would argue it's the same battle that must be fought to combat racism as well.
Good on her. My regular disagreement w my feminist friends is their SJW stuff does them more harm than good and the only way forward is our having more female engineers. Clearly then, I think this initiative is really tackling the core of gender issues.
Twitter is also pretty heavy-handed on its censorship of US politics. For instance by blacklisting trending topics such as #WhichHillary when it had gained momentum. (when the protester went to her event with the quote about 'super predators' + #WhichHillary on a banner)
It's kind of stupid to me that the massive and advanced cdn of akamai protect something as non-important as a blog against such a major ddos attack. If they were doing it pro-bono wouldn't the prudent action be to mitigate ddos's until a certain treshold and then actually assess the value of what you are protecting? A good lesson to have learned, I believe.
But no, they'll drop this client which had to have continually given good referrals.
Ignoring everything else, Mr. Robot builds a spectacular atmosphere, which is an almost impossible task in television. This show is wonderful. I'd say it competes with Game of Thrones on quality and it's my favorite show right now.
They get the technical details right enough to earn respect. Sometimes you need to give artistic freedom to the writing as long as it doesn't devolve into a graphic of Pacman eating data. Gives you some meaningless pride when you see a protagonist empty a can of Pringles into the trash, knowing exactly what they are doing.
If someone has a problem with the series, my natural reaction at this point is that they're pretentious... it's not fair but imo really that's what all the criticism has boiled down to:
You noticed the heavily telegraphed twist? Good job! Gold star for you!
You're going to criticize a show with such wonderful atmosphere building for having long episodes? Wow, your time must be really important!
He uses the wrong text editor or Linux flavor? You must be a master, could you please fix my iPad?
The characters are flawed or mercurial? Could you please elaborate on the strengths of two-dimensional characters?
Awesome. So a quantum network would have the photon act as a data stream, in a way it would act like a physical security key. So with a lot of work, this would be amazing for 1:1 communications. But what if I want to send my dick pick to hundreds of people at once(1:100 distribution)? Is it possible to entangle one photon with multiple?
Entanglement may be expanded to groups of particles. Also, I'd like to note that it's not necessarily that the communication is secure, but rather that third-party observation can be detected. That's why the discussion focuses on using this to send keys, and not messages themselves.
If this guy loves being an announcer to the point that they'll do kid's soccer or hockey, why not try announcing for something like esports? I'm surprised more pro's haven't seen the opportunity and moved into it.
