OKay, so today at work me and a co-worker were talking about how vampires die if you drive a wooden stake through their heart. So we decided to test if another co-worker was a vampire. We drove a wooden stake stake through their heart, and they died! There you go! Definitive proof that vampires exist!
Uhm, by the way, if anyone needs a job we have an opening

edit!
Suspects were often examined for the "Devil’s mark" such as moles, warts, or scars, which were tested by pricking with needles to see if the accused felt pain.

Accused individuals were subjected to perilous tests, such as the "swimming" test (judicium aquae frigidae), where they were thrown into water; floating indicated guilt because the water rejected them, while sinking was proof of innocence (though many drowned).

This unusual renovation is by German architects Martin and Stefanie Naumann, undertaken in the early 2000s. The Naumanns were tasked with renovating a pig sty, built in 1780, which had been partially destroyed during World War II.Core77

OK, my nerdlings, I have questions about your tech and privacy/security philosophies. This isn't an attempt to sell anything or intended to represent politics or preferences beyond your own personal philosophies on access, privacy, or safety:
1) Does e-privacy actually matter to you? I honestly question my sanity when I get an email about tech-bros/regulatory capture/4&5 amendment rights/whatever, and it comes from a "gmail" account where we can both be quite sure it's been read, stored permanently, analyzed, and appropriate authorities or fixers called about it.
2) Do you see privacy and security concerns as separate issues, or as stops on the same spectrum of data hygiene?
3) Would you support some kind of "guaranteed no matter what" system, maybe from the government, maybe not, to ensure that no one can be entirely removed from online life by a government or organization for any reason, at all, no matter the reason? For example, an online identity that must be accepted by any government agency or communications/social service that can't be turned off at a base level, so folks you know can always find/communicate with you, even if you get on the wrong end of a block. I guess I'm asking if even someone who (for some examples) offended a service owner, said "bad" things in public and became cancelled/blocked, got accused of being a bot, etc. should still be allowed to participate at least at a survival level in the 21st century, so long as they haven't done or said anything that caused them to be imprisoned?
4) Assuming you were too busy/confused to build your own carefully constructed personal data protection regime, would you consider paying an organization to do the heavy lifting about keeping your digital life safe? If so, what might that service look like, and how much might it be worth to you? Do you know of any existing services that for you match these functions in whole or part?

I used to try to warn them each time, but it's clear that no one will ever listen, so instead, this is just a heads up for anyone who still thinks:

So yeah, first Google "gave it away" to schools, because "Education is so important". Now that they are so intertwined with modern education that even (maybe especially?) public schools can't get along without it. And now, with American education pover a barrel, the mask has come off: 'Force your students to be the targets of our AI slop-systems, or you can't use any of our systems'

So in 2016, Stanley tools wanted to release a new insulated 40 oz steel drinking cup, and they needed marketing copy. Their bright idea was to call it a "tumbler", a word which had previously meant a delicate cocktail glass. For whatever reason, their marketing copy completely rewrote American English, to the point that apparently large swathes of the American public no longer know what the word means!
And therefore, my wife and I nearly had nervous breakdowns this weekend over a very confusing argument about whether the kids should be allowed to take highball glasses to school this term!

I'm seriously of the opinion that allowing HR departments to call programmers "engineers" was the single biggest mistake the tech industry. They aren't. They generally have no idea how to engineer anything. They don't understand risk-benefit analyses. They don't understand that in the real world, 'efficiency' and 'optimization' which address only one variable solution spaces are neither efficient or optimized.
And we've put them in charge of our econony and our government because they are really good at making things that have less features, but at least cost more and run slower!
There is a clear distinction between a develop and a Software Engineer/ Architect. Yes, you need to be a developer or programmer to become a Software Engineer/ Architect but that does not make every developer an engineer. If you HR department does not realize that then I feel sorry for your company, and your developers (I doubt they are actually programmers) as they will have more than they are capable of expected from them.
pip install keeps timing out? A step-by-step checklist
When `pip install` hangs on "Collecting..." or fails with ReadTimeoutError, go through these checks in order:
1. Run `pip install -v <package>` to see which index URL is stalling.
2. Raise the timeout and add retries: `pip install --timeout 60 --retries 5 <package>`.
3. Switch to a nearby PyPI mirror just for this install: `pip install -i <mirror-url> <package>`. To make it permanent, use `pip config set global.index-url <mirror-url>`.
4. Behind a corporate proxy? Pass `--proxy http://host:port`, or set HTTPS_PROXY. pip does not read your browser's proxy settings.
5. Seeing SSL errors? Upgrade `certifi` and pip itself first. Only add `--trusted-host` for a mirror you trust.
6. Clear a broken cache with `pip cache purge`.
For the full proxy and mirror setup, see this guide: roxi.cc/pip26.html

Please, be sure you have read the Rules & TOS and that your account is not just for the purpose of marketing. Please, understand I simply do not allow accounts that are set up exclusively to market. That is not the function of this Instance. If that is your intent then you will need to find an Instance that allows marketing.
