Hours spent working is not the same as productivity.

Twice as many people assigned to a project does not double productivity either.

I could go on...

Don King had an alternative thesis:

You should probably do it twice, before and after. Just to be on the safe side.

Agree on the silliness. Still loved Darwi Odrade as a character.

And Brian's best work doesn't come close to Heretics, which for me was the weakest of all of Frank's books. It's like a cargo cult construction, all cardboard and no substance.

I really loved Romero's work. And who knows, maybe this will be great. But then again, it might be like Brian Herbert's Dune novels - a shameless, mediocre cash grab built on top of his father's estate.

Either way, I stand by what I said: enough with the torch passing. This ain't a family business.

Yet another blatant Hollywood money grab. Romero = zombies, that's sure to sell big. It's in the genes, man!

Enough with the torches. Go do your own thing.

Alan Rickman was a treasure. RIP

Task failed successfully.

Nevermind hackers. Look up "corporation in the middle" attacks, which is a prime example of subverting secure channels at scale.

If you don't own the hardware, nothing you do on it is truly private. Ditto if someone else has admin access to your hardware (eg BYOD scenarios) . Inserting a root certificate into the OS is trivial in both cases.

The right to bear men.

Yeah, it was ragebait alright. Then again, if it were phrased in a reasonable manner, would we be talking this much about it? If the objective was to kick-start a conversation, it did the job 110%

Depends on how you read it. I see it as a woman's POV calculating the potential for violence from an encounter where the only guardrail they can trust is the man's morals. And given the amount of catcalls, casual feels and assorted bullshit women in my friend circle had endured from a very early age, fuck no, I'm not begrudging them choosing a bear.

Besides, OP was talking about men harassing women because of stating their bear preference. Which a) just proves them right, and b) do you honestly believe they meant ALL men are worse than bears? Each and every woman in that original story could probably choose at least 10 men in her life who she would be perfectly fine encountering in a dark forest. The question was, however, about calculating risk in an unknown encounter. I don't read it as sexism at all.
