Playboy no longer making magazines

Fuck coronavirus. This is the real bad news this month :_(

And a few years ago they stopped showing nude women.

Penthouse is where its at....this poor generation getting their porn from the internet are going to turn out super weird

How am I going to read the articles now? :)

Yes, they do have well written articles.

Concerning magazines in general, I really don't know why people buy them anymore. I used to love reading some of them, but then they more and more became nothing but advertising and the price skyrocketed. For the most part they were a one time read and then were thrown out. I tried on-line magazines, but that isn't quite the same thing as flipping through one - didn't care for that.

Who reads magazines?

A moment of silence please, gentlemen.

Playboy has also had an impact in computer sciences. One of the most used test images in the history of image processing is a picture of the Swedish model Lena Forsén from the November 1972 centerfold of Playboy magazine.

Here is what happened. At USC an assistant professor needed a test image for a conference paper and luckily somebody happened to walk in with a recent issue of Playboy. The engineers tore away the top third of the centerfold and in the scanner it went.

From wikipedia:

Lenna is so widely accepted in the image processing community that Forsén was a guest at the 50th annual Conference of the Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T) in 1997. The use of the photo in electronic imaging has been described as "clearly one of the most important events in [its] history".
