  • I feel it is less responsibilities and more the societal awareness that comes with them that tends to make the change. When you start paying bills you start dealing directly with greedy corporations, landleeches, and greedy employers, all of whom view you as a commodity rather than a human being.

    Life being pay to play, as it has been for a couple hundred years, is where I feel the "downward trend of society" feelings come from.

  • If you have not seen it, you should watch the movie Wag the Dog, and check the release date on it after doing so. Phenomenal movie about government spin doctors.

  • Scientific rigour: Be transparent in your research. Ethical obligations:

  • I believe confidentiality refers to sharing details about the study as it relates to individuals, privacy relates to sharing personal details about a participant, and anonymity refers to sharing identifiable details. Examples Confidentiality breach: patient X reacted badly to the study and gained a disfiguring disability. Privacy beach: patient X is a married straight white suburban male. Anonymity breach: patient X is Steve Rogers and he is also Captain America.

  • The Six Stages of Code Grief

  • Yeah, the new pipeline is based HEAVILY on object inheritance and method/property calls so there is a paper trail for ALL of it. Also using Abstract Base Classes so future developers are forced to adhere to the architecture. It has to be in Python, but I am also trying to use the type hinting as much as humanly possible to force things into something resembling a typed codebase.

  • The Six Stages of Code Grief

    Jump

  • I literally told my boss that I was just going to rebuild the entire pipeline from the ground up when I took over the codebase. The legacy code is a massive pile of patchwork spaghetti that takes days just to track down where things are happening because someone, in their infinite wisdom, decided to just pass a dictionary around and add/remove shit from it so there is no actual way to find where or when anything is done.

  • This argument really only holds water if the purpose of film and television ratings were to make commentaries on social moral trends.

    Unfortunately they have an explicit and expressed purpose that is not that. They are a tool which is intended to inform and guide consumers on the content of a product ahead of purchase so they can make an informed decision. They should be locked to a standard which does not change, or all previous ratings should be reevaluated when the standard is changed. The media does not go away. And all ratings should be directly comparable, regardless of: when they were rated, who the "intended" audiences are, or what genres they belong to.

    As a slightly hyperbolic example (pardon the minor straw man), imagine you are a Christo-Facist who, among other things, believes that nudity is a sin and you never want your children exposed to the evils of a bare breast. So you set your TV to only show G or PG movies. Then you find your child watching the 1984 rom-com Splash and boom, tiddies in a fish tank. It is PG because the PG standard allows for brief nudity (https://www.filmratings.com/).

    They don't apply the standards they have. They routinely make decisions based on backlash from Christo-Facist "Parent's" groups which means that film ratings increasingly do not reflect the overall moralistic stance of the greater society.

  • The MPAA has been a rather corrupt organization for a very long time. They don't even bother following their own standards. They also exercise leverage over film content. Many movies live or die by their rating, so "parent's" groups often lobby them or find their way onto the various boards to exert their will and censor content.

  • The Bhor's model is at least a useful simplification of the atomic structure. What needs taught is that everything you learn before college and intensive narrow topical courses is simplified to the point of being incorrect with the hope that you get enough of an intrinsic understanding of the concept that the less simplified explanation you get next will make sense. I say this because it will still be simplified to the point of being wrong, but will be a step closer to the truth. This is the essence of education.

    • Elementary/middle school: ice is water that has frozen solid
    • HS: ice is water that has lost enough energy that the molecules form a crystalline lattice.
    • College: there are actually 19 or 20 kinds of water ice that have been verified, but as many as 74,963 might exist.
    • Post-collegiate: There may be 74,963 kinds of ice, but I know one ICE we should definitely eliminate from this world.

  • Yes. This is an artifact of a destigmatization coupled with better diagnostics for evaluating ASD. More people aren't autistic, more people are being diagnosed and receiving counseling for coping with the neurldivergence in a cold and uncaring neurotypical world.

  • The word copulate has been around since the late 1400's (before the colonization of North America by Europe) and Old English had the word hǽmed which dates back to the middle ages.

    You are confusing euphemism with language and applying puritanical systemic manipulation to language. That is censorship and it does not mean that the words don't exist in the language. Whole different can of worms.

    Yes, it has been proven that language and having words to describe things changes the way the brain processes things. There are languages without a word to describe the color Blue, and in fact the people who speak that language struggle to differentiate it from green when tested. Once teaching them a language which includes a word for the color, eventually their brain begins to be able to differentiate it. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20180419-the-words-that-change-the-colours-we-see

  • I have a real issue here too. Though mine more centers around the purchase of IP to bury it because it would be competition. How many amazing creations that would benefit humanity and make all of our lives more livable are buried in archives at these big corpos?

    This is what I would like to see fixed, in the most aggressive way possible. I want a clock on the ownership to bring a product to market based on the purchased patant and if that clock runs out, ownership reverts back to the creator.
