Will I be able to play "B-17 BALLLLLMER" again?

Sadly, his comment is in line with stuff I've seen in the wild. Not *exclusively*, mind. I'm sure there's plenty of normal Rust coders, but it doesn't take a particularly large coterie of insufferable douchenozzles to leave an impression that is really difficult to overcome (in part because, at least for that coterie and those who accommodate them, it's a true impression.)

I'm sure many progressives have their heart in the right place, but then so did many right-wing religious whackos. The worst tyrants are those who think they're doing it for your own good, after all.

The welfare of humanity has always been the alibi of tyrants. ~ A. Camus

I expect autonomous cars would have a deactivation mode built in. Your auto-auto was within n meters of a robbed bank when the alarm goes off? Time to pull over and go to sleep!

You can already get glucose meters... or are you talking about something other?

I'm halfway tempted to apply for a job where you are just so I could experience this. Most interviews I've had have clearly (and sadly) been conducted by people who have little technical knowledge, but lots of HR experience and are working off a script put together by some more technically inclined person.

A triglyceride test would go over big. A whole lipoprotein panel, in fact.

Hell, I'd use it myself.

Most bittorrent clients have to connect to the tracker at least once to get an initial peer list. Subsequent peer list requests usually include upload/download byte counts and whatnot, but that data isn't verifiable.

So you may not be able to get a reliable count of the total number of people who finished downloading your file, but you can get a reasonable estimate of how many people tried to... presuming there isn't someone trying to jigger the numbers by connecting to the swarm without doing any data transfer just to bump the numbers up.
