He said he answered questions. Seems like his answers were useless since they kept asking. And why was he answering, and not someone from the team? This is classic situation in onboarding new devs on a team - the solution is to assign a dev to pair program with them for few days, that way it's either immediately visible they can't do the job and you bring that to the stakeholders, or they make a PR, nothing in between.

1 month is no time to expect great results even with onshore employees coming into your office, much less remote guys in a nonstandard difficult project. They probably meant they are finally beginning to understand it.

This is not "a team", it's a bunch of new developers in the authors' team and treating them in any other way is a serious leadership mistake. The author is wasting his employer's money.

It exists because face is what gets visibly aged on people even if the body isn't easily distinguishable from children. Why is it called "child sexual abuse material" if no child was abused in its creation?

Ad reputational damage - OK, I agree if they distribute it, that's fair. But if they don't distribute and the police finds it only after they take their hard drives?

This was not meant as a counter argument, I am interested in more on this topic. Legacy building seems like a good reason, but not scalable imho.

As a billionaire that wants to start a Dyson sphere, where is the profit / operational revenue?

It doesn't, there's no need for planets at that time, people live on rotating artificial habitats that form the Dyson sphere itself.

Dyson spheres can be very low tech. To reiterate, it's a swarm of objects orbiting the star, not a rigid sphere.

If you have the time and raw resources, it was possible with 1960s technology.

I don't think the article and researchers meant it's actual rigid sphere, that's just the Star Trek based popular opinion. Dyson Sphere is Dyson Swarm, people just didn't get it the first time.

You dismantle the planets to build Bishop Rings and O'Neill/McKendree cylinders which form your Dyson Sphere/Swarm.

This particular case is very well known and proven to be caused directly by the marketing, yes.

There is no justifiable difference like beauty, durability or function between "real" and "artificial" diamonds. Only an expert can tell, and only because the "real" ones are less perfect. And of course - both are real diamonds.

How do you know it's not bodies of willing adult pornographic actors that merely appear child-like?

Why would you swap faces when you already had the pictures, if not to hide the adult facial features?

Do you expect a huge marketing campaign from BigCSAM focused on convincing pedophiles that only real CSAM proves their husband/wife truly cares about them?

I don't know about hentai but given the amounts of Japanese actors I have to skip because I don't like them appearing like children suggests they're not that interested in the safety thing...

There are many adult actors explicitly cashing in on their child-like appearance, especially in Japan. How do you determine that the picture is a child or an adult with child-like appearance?

Probably not deliberate, but this guy has absolutely no business being in leadership.

- he didn't make sure somebody helped the new team members build and run the project

- he didn't make sure somebody took the new guys through their first PR

- he bragged about the project being nonstandard and complicated and was delighted when the new guys couldn't just figure it out

- he decided his own opinions and goals are more important than his employers' but still took their money

- then he bragged about all of this on the internet as if he was some big hero that saved the job market

Wtf is this bullshit doing on HN front page? This is not the way to run software teams.
