curiously··on Why It Pays to Be a Jerk
what research? there's hardly anything in the article to suggest that it exceeds the quality of a 2AM red bull fueld college paper written by a student.
curiously··on Why It Pays to Be a Jerk
>It must be nice to be able to just make up and use a method for identifying "narcissists" without having to test whether the people you're identifying as narcissists are, in fact, narcissists. In my opinion, if this is how you do research you can hardly call what you do science.

This is rampant in socio/psycho academia and professionals. Not saying ALL of them are like this but in general, it is not a quantitative or strictly scientific field. Lot of the work done in this industry is self-fulfilling prophecies and their time is mostly spent on fabricating/bending truths and hard facts and say "here's a statistically significant outcome therefore assholes are great leaders".

It's laughable and I've stopped reading the article because I felt like it's built on the same shoddy science work and poor understanding of statistics and it's significance.

curiously··on ØMQ - The Guide
I want to use ZeroMQ but stuck with RabbitMQ because I am using Celery.

I hate Celery and I hate RabbitMQ because it was so difficult to get stuff working the way I wanted which makes me wonder if it would've been better if I just wrote my own simple job queue.

curiously··on ØMQ - The Guide
any real reason you should use zeromq over rabbitmq?
curiously··on Lego Universe's Dong Detection Problem
yet Fox have no problems showing cleavage, legs, super attractive women throwing suggestions as to how we can combat ISIS.
curiously··on Lego Universe's Dong Detection Problem
I know what you mean but I often find those black band censorship in adult manga.

If you've seen Dragonball Z comic books, there are scenes where Goku's penis is uncensored and emerges in his early days or Bulma showing her boobs (vagina is erased) or flipping the bird before a major fight, and other adult themes can be found (dirty magazines, sexual innuendos).

No kid complained. I mean it made the comic book so much more worthwhile to read. Like little cherry topping on top of a great storyline and characters. This sort of 'teasing' is so prevalent in kids and teens comic books. I mean there were even more crazy ones like Ranma we watched as kids.

When I read the same comic book in English, all those 'no no not in America' type of scenes were removed or have gone thorough de-perversion.

would love to know more about how tv changed during past few decades. There is definitely a change but hard to put in to words.
curiously··on Lego Universe's Dong Detection Problem
And breast feeding, nudity. But then I guess other countries have their own weird little taboo's.

More and more I see America having a lot of Puritan values, which is spreading. Even countries who wouldn't have freaked about penis or saying fuck on tv, suddenly find themselves adding pixelation and muted audio to their native language

curiously··on Lego Universe's Dong Detection Problem
Shintoism openly celebrates male genitalia. Manga has a lot of sexual content but it's not creating demons Americans are so afraid of.

curiously··on Clinkle Implodes as Employees Quit in Protest of CEO
what's obvious to me is that

capital is available and flowing towards people who shouldn't really have it.

but overall it is working for the smart investors.

but really, people are throwing money around for crazy returns.

curiously··on Don't text 'beer' in Korea: Words that trigger teen alerts
night and day difference. It makes me cringe when people try to group them up together. If they were indeed similar and identical they should've produced the same result but it hasn't, one is a failed state and will forever be noted as an embarrassment to human race, the other a thriving developed country.

North Korea even had a head start by a far margin. Up until 1970s, North Korea was pretty much the better equipped, better fed, and stronger military force.

South Korea would not have survived had it not had military dictatorship guarding against North Korean aggression both externally and internally (lot of bitter South Koreans wanting communism).

Dr. Ahn even tried to run for president and likely to try again in the future.

Mention 'snowden' or 'privacy' and people won't bat an eye in Korea I bet. Pretty much same with most countries. People just don't seem to give a damn, the same old 'im not a criminal so I am okay with catching terrorists by spying and controlling the rest of the population'.

curiously··on Powering the Rift
I'm glad they ditched OSX and Linux to focus on Windows.

OSX and Linux are not serious gaming machines. It makes sense to improve the 95% of users gaming on windows machines and sacrifice the 5% who are simply complaining that their manufacturers/vendors won't support their gaming needs.

PostgreSQL is coming up a lot and making waves, never thought much about it until recently it turns out to be more reliable than mongodb. Interesting phenomena.
curiously··on Whistleblower accuses cybersecurity company of extorting clients
jesus christ....

this fucking makes me lose faith in humanity.

how can they get away with this? this is like mafia and the government joining forces to fuck over hard working folks.

everyday America is going down the shit drain. spying on it's own citizens, allies, friends, secret CIA torture sites, police brutality & militrization, Monsanto, Dow Jones Chemical, Facebook, the list goes on.

curiously··on Bit.ly and Viglink Adding Affiliate Cookies on Shortened Links
don't get how she can make money just by scraping. I mean anyone can scrape. The problem would be generating traffic so enough people could click on the ads.

I'm confused as to what she was doing differently, amazon even offers product ad widgets to put on your page.

curiously··on Bill C-51 passes in House of Commons
she didn't do jack shit, spent tax dollars buying a new Gucci bag and vacationing in luxury, showing up on Remembrance Day pretending to be the queen and getting paid for it, she couldn't be bothered with actual work.
