Exactly, is it hard to imagine he doesn't want to take a blow torch to his own creation just as a last "fuck you" farewell?

He said sexual assault is bad. How dare he?!
It's not either one solution or another, or what is the best solution, there is not one single solution for solving climate change, it's not that simple.

This is a thought fallacy that leads us nowhere, it's a complex problem with many causes and lots of moving parts.

We can't just plant a bunch of trees and keep living like before, growing to 10 billions and beyond.

We need to plant a bunch of trees AND reduce traveling AND stop eating so much meat, AND stop fishing so much, AND stop creating to much waste, AND keep the world population under control, etc. It's not OR, its AND.

Thinking "Oh well someone is just going to plant a bunch of trees and fix it, I'll just back to eating my cheeseburger" is not a productive message at this point in time, when so much is still to be done to convince the general public that lifestyle changes are urgently needed.
> it sounds like it wasn’t far enough outside the acceptable conduct to warrant anything.

That's not how things work. Workplace "justice" is quite dependent on things like internal politics and personal affiliations. You can't rely tell how bad something was by the disciplinary response.
It's difficult to deforestate Central Europe any further because almost complete deforestation already took place during the Middle Ages and the early modern period.

Random user here, I can confirm, at least for the desktop app. I had to explicitly agree to create a wallet.

I checked a few friends' profiles. I knew one of them hadn't set up a wallet and hey, you know what? Their profile doesn't include a Stellar address.
The problem is you can't create new "old" forest, and some of the old forest areas are under threat. In the case of Germany, some are even threatened by coal mining!

Ancient forest can expand but it has to do so gradually to maintain the characteristic species mix. And in order to expand it has to be protected in the first place.
Looks like you are only to meet people with very shallow interests + why would you like to connect with influencers?
In Germany? Things to keep in mind:

1. There is no time limit when doing a PhD. I know several colleagues who did a PhD in Germany who took more than 10 years. Those were not pathological cases.

2. It's definitely useful to have the title when getting a job and it helps to get some specific positions. And it opens the doors for interviews in this country. Though, even in Germany: Compared to just starting to work and getting experience that way you are likely to lose money, even in the long run.

Doing a PhD is a job, one that is not very well paid. It can be pretty great if you are okay with the money you earn and if you can enjoy the time. A good PhD program: Not too much work (I recently passed by the university at 14:30 on a Friday, there was one single soul), interesting work, something specific you get in the end. But for that to work positively it has to be something you enjoy doing. If you'd see it as lost time, it will be lost time. It has to be in a city and a country you like where you can be with people you like and work on stuff you enjoy. OP, it sounds as nothing of that would be true for you - and if not, a PhD is the best way to reach a burnout or a clinical depression. Don't do it.
> He's a C++ programmer, so I assume he can also code in C.

I would make no such assumption. Most C++ programmers I've known would have a hard time being productive in a language where they had no collections, templates, virtual functions, destructors, lambdas, exceptions, etc. Trading deep knowledge of how C++ manages memory for knowing how to do it yourself might be even more of a challenge. A lot of C++ programmers know C because they were around as the two evolved, but at this point there are many who entered the profession with C++ and would find C almost as confounding as COBOL.

As you say yourself, the USSR did try and failed. The N1 failed in all four launch attempts, including destroying the launch complex. They even orbited two prototypes of their lander design. I think that counts as trying.

Any such answer I see, I flag as not an answer to the question, and those answers are often converted to comments or deleted. It seems you are not really familiar with all the tools in your disposal on SO.

> They could also add a system to review, rate, and appeal moderator actions, and penalize people who's moderator actions aren't proper.
These tools already exists, sans the penalizing. The whole idea is not to penalize anyone. Just as users are not penalized for asking bad questions, likewise users are not penalized for potentially bad votes.
You are saying the same thing, the method can be effective as part of a bigger picture and useless if the only choice.

I disagree. Critical thinking using logic and sound reasoning should be taught and learned in an early age. Although it has been now discontinued, I had really liked in the past the specifications of the British AS/A Levels in Critical thinking.

Depending on how far "trust but diversify" goes, some countries could be worse off (OPEC would be harmed by a serious effort at energy source diversification, US by currency diversification, Netherlands by diamond supply chain diversification, China by manufacturing diversification, etc.). Whether they will be better or worse off in the end depends on how much external near-monopolies hurt them, versus how much their own cornering of a market helps them. China would likely lose out because manufacturing is such a large component of the Chinese economy, but it is not obvious that all other countries would gain.
What I think is the problem is the terminology. 'Verified' makes it sound like there is some identity checking going on. It is nonsense to say that because someone is posting on 2 platforms, they suddenly aren't who they say they are. If you use the term 'affiliate' or 'partner' it is a different story. If you are posting on 2 or more platforms, it is logical for all involved platforms to not feel like partners anymore.
That reminds me of the discussions about overfishing. The amount of fish in the sea is a mere few percentages of what it was a century ago, but that already was way, way less than it was in the centuries before that. And we only went to fish in the sea after we had exhausted the rivers.

This is the shifting baseline effect and it really negatively affects conservation efforts.
In the enterprise side of things, I find G2Crowd and TrustRadius reviews useless in that they are too skewed towards the positive end of things.
That's certainly a link you've made. Any thoughts on the first quote? The one where he writes "I am skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children". Do you think he's just factually summarizing some news article there as well?
I believe it was also Jeff Atwood who, for the longest time, could not fathom why people did not like being forced to use OpenID to log into Stack Overflow. Like, he could literally not fathom it and agonized in blog posts over his own inability to understand people (he was quite honest about it). Even though they caved on this point, to this day Stack Overflow actively fights new users trying to get in and participate on the platform (I have long since given up).
It's like using PostgreSQL to save its config.
But I don't want to criticize that choice. It looks like the author wrote something that worked for them, and more software should be like that (as counter-intuitive as it sounds).
the point is more that anything you learn, you often want to try out the new toys. But those toys aren't your A game and we haven't learnt the lessons yet of applying things to achieve real results, so often that can skew our productivity. Whole new frameworks can leave us completely incapacitated when we hit the edges of what is commonly done until we either dig through things ourselves or find someone to answer our questions.
It's possibly also their motive to bring new contributors, since it was recently announced that KDE will be deprecated in the next major version of RHEL.
I scrolled for a bit, but that didn't answer my question about MIT's culpability and lack of action on allegations made to them.

He's been forced to resign from 2-3 organisations and we've got an article here that says he might be homeless and a suicide risk.

"He's a pretty eccentric bloke" is not enough to justify using something that looks like a joke as evidence of problems stretching back to 1980. That quote is 33% of the shocking evidence mentioned in this link section 2.

The vi vs emacs 'holy war' is also a long running joke that Stallman gets involved in sometimes. He doesn't actually object to vi.

> In a blink of an eye, this incident made an old person not employable and apparently (according to the TFA) homeless.

He already entered his retirement age. (Unless I miscalculated) He's a clever man - if he's got no retirement fund, or stable accommodation by now, that's a different issue and only brought forwards faster, not created now.

I mean, if the accommodation was provided entirely unofficially by MIT this whole time and was yanked away without warning, I really sympathise. But I find that idea unlikely without some good confirmation.
In order for a community to succeed, there must be a continual rotation of the people in power so that no one can be corrupted by it. Moderators to me are the same as a dictatorship. There shouldn't be any moderators on SE, the community should be voting on what is valid question and upvoting the best answers as it has always done. There is no need for a single person to police each community. If something is off topic then the community can vote on removing or moving the topic or answer.

The issue with SE is the fact that they have allowed moderators to have too much power and too control over the communities. In changing their policies it has caused a removal of the moderators so that communities are force to come together to survive then I feel that this was a good step for SE as a whole. Though there will be some hard times at first I think that SE will become the site that it founders actually envisioned.
> Moderators are part of the community that can vote and high-ranked people that vote have access to mod tools - they're basically moderators - just without the diamond.

Yes, I know, which puts the entire outcry here (from likely low-score users) in a very comical light. "Ban mods"—what they really are asking for is "ban high-score users who do not like my low-quality questions".

If you want to get cool jobs in AI, you do need PhD.(i.e. https://careers.google.com/jobs/results/6231594434232320-res..., https://www.quora.com/Does-the-AI-team-at-Facebook-hire-rese...). Those that don’t are just meaningless jobs in startups that pretend to do AI (git clone X, change dataset, train and pray that the machine learning god makes magic happen).

Though these meaningless jobs do pay well these days, thanks to Softbank.
The article discussed that; Putin was initially fine with global warming. It's only now that some downsides of permafrost melting have come up that Putin is having second thoughts.

What the general opinion of the Russian population is on global warming, I do not know.
This is a common pattern of comments you'll see on almost any climate post:

Person 1 - locally we (majorly developed nation) are improving resource X!

Person 2 - ... but you're not accounting for exporting/externalizing demands for resource X that mask true usage by us.

Person 1 - ah but XYZ group shows that even if you account for this (which is really quite tricky to account for accurately) then everything is fine and we are doing better.

But the ultimate test of whether or not we're really improving anything always has to be a global view. Local resource improvement is meaningless and accounting for exporting of consumption/production etc is very tricky to account for unless you simply look at global trends.

And globally percent of forest area has been in steady decline[1]. I have no doubt some think tank has written a report showing that "even if we account for europe's exportation of plant biomass needs, things are still doing better" but all that really matters is always the global trend.

It's a bit puzzling that the GitHub readme has more information about how to use the tool than the website. I don't know what to take away from the single screenshot. Maybe it would be helpful to record an animated GIF or a screencast to demonstrate it in action?
About 90% of the time it is an XY problem, though. A couple clarifying questions and it turns out the OP really needed something much simpler.

For example, people who insist they can’t use a Laravel package because of “performance”, but it turns out they just don’t know how the composer autoloader works.

Well no, "fixed" is a position relative to the the viewport.

I don't think you're getting downvoted because you're not praising a piece of technology; you're getting downvoted because your tone seems rude, arrogant, and like you're on a witch-hunt rather than an honest inquiry.

Because powerful software can still be created by an individual. As with authors, artists, and composers, that lends itself to the heroic tale, of a lone genius toiling in secret to reveal a stunning breakthrough to the world.

His "social interactions compiler" or the SIC thrown warnings for years but he and everybody around him choose to silence these warnings instead of fixing them.

Now he had an error. The error that doesn't make sense to him but obviously the SIC is not happy but instead of trying to dig into his algorithms they try to argue with the compiler.

Good luck with that.

The idea that HTML is hard to parse isn't exactly controversial; the HTML spec has a long description of the exact rules you're required to implement to parse HTML and it's a bunch of special cases and error handling. Certainly I wouldn't call it "heuritics" any more since everything is well specified, but equally certainly the rules are derived from heuristics that browsers implemented and are now required to maintin compatibility.

I'm having difficulty unpacking your claim about a DTD "parsing" HTML5, but I find it hard to believe that a primarilly DTD-based parser would get all the rules right around, say, foster-parenting, or handling of -- in script elements, or pseudo-entities or any of the the other weird quirks that are specific to HTML and not shared with SGML languages. Perhaps you can link the code and details about the claimed test suite pass rate?
IKE Ekweremandu Celebrate the New Yam Festival in Enugu. – Fenmark Blog
This “verified” nonsense is silly. Twitter knew who Assange was but refused to “verify” him.

They should change what they call verified to another label like “goodie two-shoes” instead. As it is is a complete misnomer. It’s basically used to get users to behave a certain way and if they don’t conform they don’t get verified or if they are verified it gets revoked.
"I am sceptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children. The arguments that it causes harm seem to be based on cases which aren’t voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified by the idea that their little baby is maturing."

He's rejecting the arguments that pedophilia causes harm to children, because sometimes it's voluntary and therefore isn't harmful.

Do I really need to explain how "Pedophilia is sometimes not harmful to children" can be summarized as "Sometimes sex with children is fine"?
It seems like you're kind of on the fence about it. I'd say try applying to a few positions that seem interesting to you anyway, that are likely to give you an interview, but don't lie about being super enthusiastic about reading through stacks of paper or whatever while you're doing it. Just be honest about the sorts of things you hope you'd get out of the programme while you're there - maybe they'll consider you a good fit, maybe they won't or maybe you'll figure out that you want to do it or not while you're doing that.

At least then you'll have explored your options fully even if you don't end up going for it with the greatest amount of knowledge about it as you could have - if nothing else you'll have informed regrets!

There's another aspect to this though: There's a big tradeoff between "interesting" work and "good" work in some cases - for instance consider the games industry. That's arguably the peak of creative technical work but because so many people want to do it often the conditions aren't great and the pay is lower than some other fields despite the work being as hard or harder. Consider it an artefact of supply and demand in the labour market I suppose.

It's not on you, maybe, but I'd be willing to put up with somebody's shit if they get the job done. And especially then if no one else has gotten it done so far.

Einstein bonked his cousin. And postulated the Theories of Relativity. Yeah, you'd think he could've thought of a better name.

I care about results, if someone's nice, that's a bonus. But don't deny the fact either, that some people will be nice because they need to hide an incompetence. I know, and they know, if you have the results, that that is the most important thing, being nice is optional. Not being nice also does not imply being rude, just neutral, by the way.

EDIT: And as a German, I'm intrinsically aware of the stereotype that we're often labelled as "rude", when we're actually being direct. So, who's at fault here? No one is, but we'd all go a long way to take a step back and realize, what's actually going on.

EDIT2: And I also often have to put up with the reverse of this, people who are so goddamned nice, I can't be mad at them for any longer than a few seconds, but basically can't get shit done. As an employee who often had to clean-up after others, I often got pissed at this, but fortunately, that's no longer my case.
