Before using VS Code, Atom was my favorite editor, but I don't think I can go back to it. VS Code is just simply amazing.

Sorry I meant to say that when they are adults they can make their own decisions.

You bring up a good point regarding education. No matter how much censorship there is, education is better. The way we educate young people about alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, etc. should be similar to the way we educate people on pornography.

The article gives some examples of perception by viewers of what they think is "normal" for sexual relations.
There is an organization called "Fight the new Drug" which is combatting porn addiction.
Here is a article with citations on research and articles on the issue:

The availability and ease for this type of content is scary especially when children are more connected than ever. Pornography kills love (Edit: https://fightthenewdrug.org/how-porn-kills-love/). Love is extremely important for human beings and civilizations. It drives art, philosophy, faith, religion, etc. It is love that produced great works throughout history.
I read some where there was going to be a TLD for porn (.xxx I think). I wish they did that and all the porn content was only on that TLD. Then browsers can easily block all porn for underage viewers. I know I would do that for my children until they are adults and I believe they can make their own decisions. There is a level of maturity and education one needs before exposed to this type of content.
Personally I find it repulsive and I try my best to avoid it as best as possible. Sadly it creeps into TV shows and movies nowadays.

I bet this will be used for recruitment testing.

Is this similar to other courses but just branded as Google or is there Google specific knowledge? Do you get a chance to work for Google after taking this course?

>At issue is once again an Amazon Web Services S3 cloud storage bucket that was misconfigured and inadvertently left open to the public internet, where anyone with a connection online could have found it.
I use S3 and I have noticed that by default it's locked down and secure and in order for it to be open you have to open it for the public. Maybe AWS could improve the way it can secure the S3 buckets by making it easier to whitelist access by IPs or some variant to this. Although I personally find it fairly straight forward to use in the projects I work on but it appears it may be difficult and my developers just open it up to the public so their apps can easily access it.

Also Quran 46:15:
"And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is thirty months. [He grows] until, when he reaches maturity and reaches [the age of] forty years, he says, "My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to work righteousness of which You will approve and make righteous for me my offspring. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed, I am of the Muslims.""

I feel like some underestimate the .NET framework. Microsoft has done a great job of really opening up and building a better eco system for developers to work with. Years ago there was a common stereotype that .NET was old and not cool. I believe it still has a place and is a strong server side framework.

Google's version (photos.google.com) is great. I love the auto-generated albums, animated gifs and movies. It's also very easy to share and create group albums.
