I certainly hope not. Social media should not be a measurement of professional character. Many kids use it without concern for how it will affect their future because they lack the awareness of it. If everything you've said when you were a child was on record and reviewed by employees chances are most people wouldn't have jobs. Additionally, it sets a bar the requires social media usage. I personally don't use any online accounts that are linked to my name. This means I would be perceived as a danger to any hiring systems that utilize social media analysis.
> If he got a pass, a lot of other people will too.
1. I think presidents tend to get a lot of passes other people don't. It comes with the level of influence they have.
2. Presidents are selected by the typical American voter. Smoking a joint is cool these days with plenty of people (esp. younger), but employers are typically older and more traditional. He didn't get a pass with these people, they just weren't going to vote for him already for other reasons.
Not to say I disagree with your overall point - America is generally becoming more progressive.
If no one would have a job than it will mean the analysis done on the social network profiles will be awfully wrong. The thing it will be searching for is not perfect people, but people who do some things in social networks that somehow, by some nasty AI algorithms, will qualify them to do some job, simple.
I firm believe that everything I've said on Orkut many years ago was sincere and honest and matches well with my personality. If some algorithm is looking for someone with my character and abilities it will certainly find one in my Orkut activity.
The same way, if you don't have a social media profile, then certainly you're a good match for some job that is looking for someone with these characteristics.
Are you referring to the section of the game where you use an x-ray to check for sex that doesn't match the passport? I don't think that's reasonable to classify as extreme, the US government exhibits the same strategies for identification, requiring proof of clinical treatment to get a sex change on license.
If you think the game is about teaching you what you should do, then you played a very different game than me.
There are times when letting people learn why something is bad through experience (even watered down as much as through a video game) is much more effective than just telling them it's bad, for many reasons.
Depiction != Endorsement. Are we going to require all future fictional portrayals of the Salem witch trials to feature token minority characters too because we need to hold people in another reality to the same standard of the ones we are in?
So minorities should only be cast when the subject matter relates specifically to them? I don't think that would leave them with many potential roles. There are so few meaningful roles for minorities as it is. Surely that isn't the right answer.
If you believe that Papers Please is implying that what you do in the game is what you should do in real life then you misinterpreted the creator's intentions to an absurdly extreme degree which I find hard to believe.
Do you believe that MASH teaches you that war is overall positive? Was your takeaway from Requiem for a Dream that injecting heroin is a good idea?
Exactly. The author says because hosting companies are big they would never give information but this is a complete flaw. Google and Reddit are both known to hand information to law enforcement. Companies like digital ocean don't put as high as emphasis on customer privacy as companies likes PIA. On 90% of the service portals for servers I've purchased have had a message showing my IP was logged for safety reasons. So by making your own vpn you're just turning a direct link to you into link to a link pointing right back at you instead of thousands of people.
People are afraid to file share but not because of GEMA which for once has nothing to do with this. Right holders (especially of popular music, movies, and TV shows) connect to torrents and log who is also in the swarm (i.e. uploading and downloading). They then go to court quickly with your IP which orders your ISP to give up your name and address.
I don't think mosh is just an SSH wrapper. IIRC, it uses SSH to start a mosh session on the server side, but from there it uses it's own UDP based protocol to sync the terminal 'framebuffer' instead of sending character streams.
