systemd is an interesting one. Much hated, and with good technical reasons, yet... No one has forked it or come up with anything better. It's seen widespread adoption.
This is primarily a "watch out for these special people" document
This seems to be a very often misunderstood point. Some people even got it into their heads that there is some kind of hierarchy or special list.
The only reason to mention any particular attributes is to make sure it's clear that they are not grounds for discrimination. And of course "gender" doesn't just mean women, "sexual orientation" includes straight people and the like.
Legal systems around the world have dealt with this issue for hundreds of years. You can't hope to enumerate all possible unwanted behaviours and provide a comprehensive enough definition to prevent people from lawyering they way out.
So instead of set out the general principals and the terms in which courts should evaluate behaviour. That mostly works, and it's the best system anyone has come up with.
The Linux maintainers don't have a judicial system so they are going to have to do their best. I can't see any better solution - dealing with issues as they arise is the only reasonable way.
But the CoC doesn't cover contributors, it only covers people using official Linux Foundation channels for communication. It's not really about contributions.
Having said that, a lot of people would like to see this added so why not submit a patch?
We build the ISS and many other space stations without the Saturn V. You need more launches but the only real limitation is the maximum size of a single block.
Everyone knows that China's emissions are still rising. It was accepted that they would have to peak instead of falling immediately. And China is well ahead of the curve of where it agreed to be.
See, environmentalists are not calling for economic suicide as is often claimed. They worked with China to come up with sensible, workable proposals and got them accepted. Expecting them to stop growing instantly is unrealistic and would just ruin any negotiation or hope of tackling the issue.
And so now you switch from claiming they are trying to send us back to the stone age to pointing out that emissions are still rising so it's all failing anyway.
We can keep warning under 2C if China keeps up its efforts and we keep pushing the targets.
EU CO2 emissions have been falling for a long time. There has been a bit of a stall recently due to a bit of a transition, but we are still on track for some very aggressive targets. The IEA is predicting wind to be the dominant source of electricity in 2027, with coal down to just 10%.
So what this really boils down to is your extremely pessimistic interpretation of the CoC, e.g. that a single honest mistake with pronouns will get you in trouble.
There is probably nothing I can say to convince you that it's not that bad. All either of us can really do is wait a while and see what happens, or doesn't happen.
Um... So, why can't LG do that too? I mean, if it's a good idea, why wouldn't they be working on it too?
By the way, the Google search you linked to says Panasonic did it. No mention of Tesla R&D... Which makes sense, I mean why would Tesla set up an R&D operation when Panasonic already has one and they work together anyway?
Anonymous posts on a thread like this are unconvincing. For all I know you posted them. A few links you googled that have little to do with the request I made also fail to bolster your argument.
In fact, all this shows is that the best you can do is clutch at straws, and the claim is most likely false.
Where did you hear that Kia are paying less than cost price?
In any case, one of the major innovations from LG has been to reduce the amount of cobalt used in the cells. Combined with the more efficient form factor they managed to get the price right down.
Mars may not be as bad as you imagine compared to the three places on Earth you suggest. Martian soil looks like it could grow various food sources, which could be difficult in the Sahara or Antarctic. You can grow some stuff under the sea, but lack of sunlight is an issue that Mars doesn't have. And the sea is an extremely harsh environment in terms of corrosion and pressure.
Water is also a big issue. Obviously the Antarctic has loads, but the other two do not. At least, not relatively clean, pure water that you can use without extensive processing. Mars has a lot of ice.

You know what I'm going to ask.
I ask it every single time, and never get an answer.
Maybe I'm too optimistic, but here goes.
Can you cite one single example, just one, of this actually happening?

Wow, even science is controlled by the Illuminati, I mean SJW conspiracy!

You didn't even read the CoC before criticising it?
Can you perhaps read it and point to some specific issues. It's pretty short, you can just quote whole sections.
We build the ISS and many other space stations without the Saturn V. You need more launches but the only real limitation is the maximum size of a single block.
Personally I think it is great. It's short, it covers pretty much everything, it's got a reasonable procedure for dealing with any issues.
Who would they go to anyway? Bing?
Let then try. See how that goes down with the users. Wait for the flood of "charge your search engine to Google" apps.
China is now four years past peak coal. They are fixing their problems.

LOL.

Doesn't seem like much of a margin. Normally you want 3x the required strength.

I read the article, none of them agree with his conclusions. That's what it says.
This was the strongest *indoor* field... Not really sure why that matters, I suppose it's more risky.

The main difficulty with Mars is getting there.
I was surprised by how much The Tick didn't suck.
The Man In The High Castle is great too. The first season is a bit of a slow burner, but season two was fantastic.
Did they cancel Enterprise? To be fair the last series wasn't the best, but cancellation was a bit premature.
Wow, that's an old web site. Do you think the complaints actually go somewhere, other than /dev/null I mean?
