Probably Monty Python’s Life of Brian
I was one of those Holy Grail kids, I loved the movie and memorized the lines. Wanting more, I looked up other Monty Python works
I was in 7th grade or something, raised in a very religious home. I was not expecting what Life of Brian was, and I know I wasn’t old enough to understand all of the jokes they made
Hilarious movie
I have had closee friends get very mad at me for making this point.
Netanyahu is bloodthirsty. Biden is spineless. This doesn’t absolve him of his complicity, but they are distinct issues, and they should be addressed accordingly.
There are very few situations where a dead man’s switch would have helped these whistleblowers.
Once they have gone public and are at risk of being “suicided” they should have already released everything they knew. Sitting on it after already going public in any way only helps if the goal is to blackmail or extort the company, rather than to expose the company or protect others.
A lot of people have latched onto the idea of a dead man’s switch (and I get it, technical solutions are fun to create), but the only part of the scenario it would help is before the whistleblower goes public, while they are still gathering information and haven’t yet been discovered by the company. Even then, it wouldn’t protect them from being killed, it would only ensure that the partial work is released in case they were discovered and prevented from finishing it.
The Tick.
I really enjoyed the comic book hero shows, and The Tick and Freakazoid were great fun to watch as parodies of the genre.
I was so happy to see The Tick get a couple of seasons as an Amazon show.
From a project management perspective, if this feature was causing frequent test failures and required extra developer time to regularly debug these failures, then removing the feature is cheaper than maintaining it.
If very few people use a feature that has a measurable maintenance cost, then it would make sense to remove it.
It seems unlikely that new features or updates would affect this one, but we don’t know. It hardly seems worth lamenting though, since we’ve already left Reddit.
This is already a thing that happens currently. Some admins/moderators don’t like being downvoted and ban people for “vote manipulation” because they vote on things in their feed.
It is leading to exactly that, where people are worried that using the voting system as intended will lead to exclusion from participation in some communities.
