Comment Re: The health benefit of alcohol (Score 1) 305

but but but all men are rapists! It is OT for this discussion but it seems to me that in some societies on this beautiful planet, a man approaching a woman must be in a company of a lawyer and a witness just in case things will be investigated. I think making sex between humans illegal, when at least one party does not have a witness and a lawyer at his/her side, is not far away.

but that is not how some understood it. Alco is no help - evil then!
BTW: I know the dark side of alco as I lost a friend and a member of a family to alcohol (or to late effects of misuse). But you can overindulge in almost anything. Humans are very inventive at that.

It may be that alcohol helps in surviving a party with all those people around, that either are too intellectual for their own good or are to silly to allow meaningful discussion. I have a comparison because I had to give up drinking some time ago due to health concerns.I did not have problems without a drink. I had a problem without a drink during parties. I found solution - I do not go to the parties anymore. I have more time and save money too - win,win!
I miss a glass of good wine and/or beer tho. The taste of it especially red wine - I liked it as it made the taste of my meals complete.

I was with you until you somehow got confused about intelligence of people making presumably legal decisions in your (is valid for any) country these fuckwitts are usually not very intelligent and if they are they are either corrupt or committed some sort of silly act that the others made illegal based on their prejudice or bad will. Other than that you are probably right.

the best one can do to save environment and protect against global warming at least in that part that is caused by humans* - condoms for free. The main reason we use so much energy is because there are so many of us. Most of us are completely useless (I agree republican party members are even more so) so there is no issue of having fewer useless farts. Bonus is - less STDs (including herpes hepatitis and other nice ones) around.The biofuels were a nice try - now we know better. We shall revisit the subject when the standard fuels run out which they eventually will
* - some humans doubt if humans at all can cause any significant global effect and say compare our CO2 production to a huge vulcano erruption. Yet 1 more vulcano eruption on top of 20 others is increase by 5% and this goes on every year. Then cutting trees all over the place has a significant effect on local weather patterns and increase of surface temperature and as humans live everywhere now they cut the trees everywhere. Concrete is significantly hotter in the middle of the sunny day than a forest surface. There are few other small and big items but certainly constant activity of 7b humans has a significant and accumulating effect on weather. We can discuss how big this effect may be but it is there.

One In Five Developers Now Works On IoT Projects 252

dcblogs writes Evans Data Corp., which provides research and intelligence for the software development industry, said that of the estimated 19 million developers worldwide, 19% are now doing IoT-related work. A year ago, the first year IoT-specific data was collected, that figure was 17%. But when developers were asked whether they plan to work in IoT development over the next year, 44% of the respondents said they are planning to do so, said Michael Rasalan, director of research at Evans.

Submission + - Interview with a pentester (rawhex.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Penetration testers are often viewed as professional versions of hackers, galavanting from conference to datacentre around the world popping systems left, right and centre. The truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. Raw Hex interviews John Carroll, a penetration tester in an internal bank. Interestingly, John was the first person to win a bugcrowd bug bounty and also talks about the incorrect perception of pentesters having access to some sort of black magic.
