People often talk down on sex, I've noticed. Why is that so?
I think it varies by age and by forum. Old people are probably less excited about sex than younger ones. In addition, HN and similar forums have a selection bias thing going on; people who really really like sex and have it as a focal point of their lives probably don't spend a lot of time here.
If you spend time here (I think the link is SFW, but if you have a very paranoid work wait): http://www.goodlookingloser.com you'll probably get a different impression.
I've also heard sex compared to water: If you're getting all you want, it's not very important-seeming or noticeable, but if you aren't, it rapidly becomes very important.
(There are of course ways sex isn't like water; you don't need to point them out in the responses.)
I think it is because a lot of people waste a lot of time thinking and fantasizing instead of living. And a lot of that thinking, especially recurring thoughts, is sexual in nature.
I'm not talking down on sex. I'm saying it's not the be all end all. That's what putting something on a pedestal means.
In my particular case it really fucked me up. Raging hormones, poorly socialized, no support network, bad luck, poor communication, and shitty judgement. Yay, puberty.
In general chasing sex for its own sake can be destructive.
That said if you come from an unbroken family, have a network of good relationships, and have learned to have a healthy attitude towards sex... then you're golden.
> They really aren't similar at all. Forge manages sub-domains, Nginx, Cron jobs, SSL certificates, queue daemons, recipes, etc. Envoyer does none of those things. Envoyer is solely focused on deploying PHP applications to multiple servers with zero downtime.
The Moto X has a "Google Now" functionality where the continuously listens for you commands. Whatever is ships your sound off the Google server is another question.
Short answer, no. Long answer, it depends and you'd need to be careful.
The issue isn't copying the artwork per se, it's copying the Vatican's picture of the artwork. They will likely release the images for free, but retain copyright over the digitisation.
Would you be caught for stealing a plate from an ancient book and incorporating it somewhere? Dunno. The Holy See is part of the Berne convention so you're still bound by their claimed copyright. Are they really going to go after you? I find it rather unlikely unless you're peddling images of the Sistene Chapel.
On the other hand if you made a reproduction of the image, say you found a drawing and manually vectorised it, then I think you would be safe - as after all, it's the photo that's copyright, not the manuscript.
In principle, taking a photo of a Van Gogh and putting it on a Tshirt is perfectly legal. The bans on photography in galleries boil down to:
- Light sensitive works
- Copyright on newer exhibits
- Profit making for the gallery (as many galleries in the UK are free, this is how they make their money)
- House rules, you may not be violating image copyright, but you may be violating house rules which they could kick you out for

I don't know how they could claim copyright on the original works, but they may have a case if you reuse their digitized copy of the original work. Much like a photograph of a piece of art may fall under a different copyright (that of the photographer) vs. the art itself. Also, the Vatican operates under a different set of rules than the rest of Italy, so I don't know if Italian copyright laws apply the same there.
If you click through to a digital work: http://digi.vatlib.it/view/MSS_Arch.Cap.S.Pietro.A.1/0001?si...
And then click on the shopping cart, it takes you to a page which talks about the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license... not sure how this works with the Vatican's own copyright.
In Sweden we've had this since 2010 or 2011 I think. Not as in: "You go to an online store, add milk and eggs to the shopping cart and get it delivered".
The way most of these online stores do it in Sweden is that they have different types of "bags" you subscribe to. Each week you'll get a bag of the stuff you'd need for five meals. With that bag, you'll get recipies for food they think you should cook with the groceries.
This was (might still be, I have no idéa tbh) widely popular in Sweden.
This developed to others opening up business. I know of a guy who started a night-shop-delivery kind of thing. Basically, when all the stores are closed, you could go to his site and order stuff (milk, candy, condoms, tampons or other things someone could need at night) and he'd deliver it to you (in Stockholm).
And in Sweden (some) police men were discovered using Whatsapp - sending sensitive information about suspects[0]. They were discovered when they accidentally misstyped a phonenumber. Whoops.
The police in Sweden have some Blackberry encrypted services, but apparently these police men were not given one because they're expensive.
I agree with some of the others, Dota 2 really tries to work on this. I've met so many nice people in Dota 2 willing to help out, but of course, I've met scumbags aswell.
The best solution to enjoy your game when a scumbag is in your team (or the other):
1. Mute him/her. Both the chat and microphone will be muted.
2. Report.
3. Keep playing.
I've done this since day one, I've muted about 5 people during the last month. It's acceptable for me. And if you team up with friends in a party, you'll have so much more fun.
Please remember to commend the people helping you out. I love being commended, and that's why I'm trying to help out and staying friendly during all of my games no matter how it turns out.
