Having nothing to do with ass-slapping or makeup: "Dress for the job you want" is relevant to men, too.

Well, they either cared enough to interview her despite that picture or (more likely) she had a different profile picture two years ago (or whenever those other 3 times were when she was recruited)

how secure could that actually be as an access control?

I mean, the access control isn't checking your DNA. It is checking if you have access to a genetic profile of someone with matching criteria. Or, as a completly different attack vector: access to body fluids of someone matching the allowed filters. ("whitelisting" gets a whole new meaning here....)

Maybe different recruiters going through the same data base? (linkedin or such)

Keep your dirty mental fingers out of my...!!!

oh.. wait..

It's not because both is called code. It is because both legal and computer code are both nothing more than a set of rules. And the more complex such sets become, the more unwanted side effects you have. People try to find loopholes in those rules for personal gain are either called lawyers or hackers and for both, best practice of avoiding such loopholes is to keep the rules as simple and exactly worded as possible.

Code injection is a bit of a stretch, though, but in general, programs and laws have a lot in common.

So your solution is NOT to "learn to code" and start with the burger flipping job right away? Any other idea where to get a "sweet 32k/year gig" without college?

Doesn't change anything about you being spot-on right.

But I wish I could give my kids some more reliable career advice than "Drop out of school and become the next Mark Zuckerberg". Well, I know the American Dream where anyone can make it from rags to riches with hard work, but so could anyone get struck by lightning or anyone could win the lottery.

But that's Star Trek TOS you're talking about.

First of all, old SF stuff tell us more about the time they were written in than about the actual future. And with Star Trek, We're talking about about Space race and cold war here.References and stereotypes from those subjects are kind at least understandable, like Stepin Fetchit movies (heard the first time of him today) told us about the actual racism in his time.

But episode one is a piece from the late 90s. If a cartoon character is shown with some possibly racist traits, this is simply sloppiness. Laziness to invent some actual accent, unthoughtfullness of noticing it how the characterizatzon and accent match a stereotype (it probably would have been noted if the role was casted with an actual black actor instead of blue-greyish a computer animation) and general cluelessnes of pushing that lazy, clumsy nuisance into the viewers field of vision at all.

OK, now back to Star Trek and why it can't be compared: The stereotypes in ST aren't (usually...) not Stereotypes used as a lazy way to make easy characterizations (see: James Bond: blonde guy with german accent --> evil, eyepatch: evil or a fake italian accent to depict some guy as 'funny') They're rather allegorys. Yes, Romulans are space russians, but if you want to tell about an utopia about all space races living happily federated together, you need someone to symbolize the warmongering people that has to be coped with, too.

And please note while the Romulans symbolize Cold war russia, it was poor Chekov who had all the stereotypical russian stuff!

And while Star Wars did their happy Science Fiction Fairy Tale, ST actually went onto the subject of racism (Let that be your last battlefield) - in al allegorical way with all stereotypical dead weight removed. So if someone in ST is symbolizing someone back here on earth, it can be done that it is on purpose.

And still my final point stands: If seeing a non-human character with some negative traits triggers some black/white stereotypes, it tells a lot about how deeply rooted these prejudices are within the recipient. (...maybe: too..)

But as a conclusion, I'd like to say the the whole Jar Jar character is SO annoying, and as a whole is a result of bad and uninspired writing, that perceived racist stereotype don't make the top ten on my list of reasons to wish him some unpleasant veneral diseases.

They do not discuss this with outsiders. (see "Trials_and_Tribble-ations")

So, if you see a subservient and uneducated non-human character on screen, that makes you think of black people?

Interesting. But with such a mindest, I wouldn't complain about other peoples "racism".

Intresting coincidence: That's exactly the same what Joghurt says about "Spaceballs - the flame thrower"

I thought it's the advertisers who choose which target user profile their ads should be shown to?

And can you really blame them for trying to keep their advertising costs low by selecting a target profile as narrow as possible to keep "wasted" views, that have to be paid for, too, as low as possible?

I don't see Google at fault here.

What about strong and fast to stand the black holes both gravitational pull and forces on the hull?

I disagree. At least for Star Trek. That setting is wide (not to say bland...) enough to allow for any type of story. Heck, they managed to mash a Picard-Die-Hard-Action-flick and a Back-To-The-Future-comedy into a single movie and it worked!

Each ST series had a unique style and tone. TOS with their "monster of the week" 60's-Sci-Fi, TNG ("we have the moral duty to...") and Ds9 with the longer, almost soap-like story arcs. Add to this the regular oddball-episode dabbling into absolutely non-Science Fiction areas. (VOY combining the worst of the now boring "monster of the week" with Picards worst speeches about moral dilemmas)

You could have made tons of movies and series that could have stood on their own, but in a desperate try to tap into the fanbase by adding charackters with the same name as TOS crew, they went down the "prequel"-trap that rewrites canon an turns a endless, open playground story-universe into a tightly tangled mess of alternative "timelines".

Intresting plot twist: Do they use some "time-travel"-mechanic to explain how Disney can change the past when something was declared as "canon"?

+1 Intresting

but enough of a difference to warrant a whole new language instead of a variant as in "American English" or "Schwyzerdütsch". (While "Plattdeutsch" usually is classified as a language on its own)
