I think the movie Event Horizon got it right. For anybody who hasn't seen it, someone is ejected out into Space. He's saved within about a minute. Though, he definitely suffers internal bleeding and other damages, he survives.

Caution: Event Horizon is also one hell of a mind-fucking horror movie. It's not for the weak-minded. Liberate tuteme ex inferis. You have been warned.

I went to see Event Horizon in the cinema when it first came out, with a couple of schoolfriends. There was an oldish couple in front of us, maybe in their 50s, possibly expecting a repeat of 2001.

Eventually the film finished, and we all got up, slightly dazed - couple included. The woman said to the man, with pursed lips - "Next time, I'm picking the film" :)

The drive home was about 40 minutes, and my friends and I were silent the whole way. But I'm sure if I saw it again, it would seem adorably tame.

I watched it on TV, late at night, as a kid. I remember barely being able to fall asleep out of fear, and I think it took a week for the effects of this movie to wear off. I'm older now and I've seen enough sad, scary and disrupting movies that it doesn't affect me anymore, but I'm pretty sure that if I tried to show it to my SO, I'd have my own Event Horizon right there in the apartment.

EDIT: I also had the "next time I'm picking the movie" moment after I took my then-girlfriend to see Prometheus. The TED2023 trailer looked so cool and I didn't realize it's a prequel to Alien...

Lol. Yes. I remember doing the same when it came out. Went to see it when I was in high school with some friends. I felt literally physically exhausted (and dazed, as you describe) after I walked out of the theater. We were all expecting an interesting sci-fi movie, not a disturbing horror movie.

While some aspects of that scene do seem to line up with the article, others don't.

For example, if the timeline of the movie is to be believed, the crew member is only exposed to a vacuum for about 10 or 15 seconds before his eyes seem to bleed massively or explode (actually, an apparent plot hole -- only a few seconds later, he's seen without any blood around his eyes). The article suggests that this wouldn't happen.

At the end of the day, Event Horizon was a pretty gory horror movie and they obviously took a lot of liberties in depicting depressurization.

Very in depth. Good read.

Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions.

Maybe he just wants to engage in the conversation. I don't think it deserves to be called out like this.

>It makes it look like you're gaining something from it.

I object to the implicit assumption that "gaining" from sharing valuable content (corrected for conflicts of interests) is immoral or bad.

I would venture forth and suggest that community of developers should strive to increase financial and other "gains" of independent developers to counter centralization of megacorporates.

Couldn't you have posted this as a comment on the original?

oh okay. That makes sense. i remember reading it the first time it was posted. good article.

I'm from Colorado, but it does get pretty hot here sometimes even though people wouldn't think so. If a shirt can self cool, then it's safe to assume it can self-warm as well. So, I'd like both.

i have visited colroado in the summer and man it does get hot. You are so close to the sun there

I agree. I just don't think anybody has taken initiative to do so. We should be teaching things in high school like why your credit score matters. What politics means for the younger demographic and what they can do to help.

MIT Solve has it right, we should just be integrating it into a younger crowd.

A lot of marketers now are turning to coding. I wouldn't necessarily say it's essential to marketing, especially if you work in a firm where you have a development team. Though, when it comes to aggregate reviews, schema, JSon, Structured data, etc. it definitely helps as a marketer if you know how to code those things yourself.

You may not have to have the ability to build your own website, but understanding the basic structure of code is very helpful.

What are your favorite's that didn't make it to the list?

mine that is not on the list would be all of the IoT advances and streaming advances. I enjoy gaming and movie watching.

My personal favorite actually isn't on the list. It encompasses quite a bit, but to me it's everything we've accomplished in Machine Learning and Big Data over the past year.

Now, I know this list is supposed to be for specific objects. So, if I had to pick one from the list, it would be #13. Phero BB-8. Gotta love tiny Star Wars Droids.

That's not a bad goal. I want my own personal Codsworth.

oh yes. I think I looked over that one.

My future goals: Get an android to cook me dinner and clean my house.

I agree that mobilgeddon was no big thing. Everybody played it off like it was going to be the worst thing in the world. That we were all going to suffer rankings and everybody was going to drop off of the face of Google. Though, it is still important to have a responsive site. User experience, as you mentioned, is highly important not just in ranking online but if you want any sort of online conversions from your site.
