Turns out that Brave New World was an instruction manual.

"We have learned the lesion that letting hate-speech run unchecked..."

Freudian slip there? (I know, I know =)

"Note that hate-speech does not get suppressed by law. You can still make it, you just may have to face consequences."
Yeah, that's the part that wingnuts of all persuasions don't like.

Sorry, just copied whatever Wikipedia had. It's a .gov website, so citizens not allowed, I guess.

Yes, but if we go per capita the ratio would be five times or whatever.

Note: I still plan on looking through your links, but it might not be before this thread gets archived.

Traditions aren't what they used to be.

The difference in writing to a serial bus vs a parallel bus.

It sounds like it through a German translator was put.

I've written and rewritten my mea culpa several times. The shame cripples my fingers as well as my mind.

Didn't know Ds owned all the farms.

The comments related to this in TFA seem aspirational...

"This demands what she called "mastery of technology" across the service, with officers required to become "as comfortable with lines of code as we are with human sources, as fluent in Python as we are in multiple other languages."

I agree, I don't expect the tech world to even notice this, unless and until "Recruitment will target linguists, data scientists, engineers, and technologists alike." actually happens. I think anyone hired for these roles will be expected to know Python, similar as back when it was expected that everyone knew how to work with the dos prompt.

Her mention of "Python" as an example is possibly the first time the more senior members of the organization have ever heard of it. They probably think it's a spinoff of SPECTRE.

Watching Bond scale the firewall to penetrate SPECTRE would be entertaining.

Absolutely, especially in a town that has a DLI. Anyone going to DLI for the first time is generally going to have an accent and perhaps be overly formal, which is so easy to do with declined, gendered languages, so it's simple for the shopkeeper to put dva i dva together.
