Your opinions make me feel unsafe. Shouldn't Slashdot be a safe place for everyone? We must get authorities involved. This is a safety concern, after all.
Just like government power over people leads to mass murders and genocides. The big government fanboys are like tobacco company executives telling people to smoke more and more, even today. (Not every smoker died from smoking, after all. Not everyone who experiences big government will get massacred or oppressed. But to make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs.)
Alarmingly fast. Longer answer: we don't know but can tell whatever story you need to justify whatever economic policy you want. It depends on whose money we are trying to take.
"Will the extra CO2 help crops or weeds grow faster?"
You don't need climate modeling to analyze plants, you just grow a bunch of plants in different conditions and see what happens.
"What can we do about it?"
Take money away from the people who earned it so we can spend it on ourselves and our friends. Obviously.
"Will such-and-such course of action have enough effect to avoid such-and-such consequences?"
Only conferences in Hawaii, Geneva, Kyoto, Sydney and other fun travel destinations can answer this important question.
I like how people are complaining that you included guns as a "new technology" but no one has argued that guns aren't being scapegoated in a moral panic like games and movies were. Apparently everyone now recognizes the scapegoating and moral panic aspects of the anti-firearms crowd.
And the kid who drank a beer. And the kid whose family owned a pit bull. And the kid whose father owned a handgun. And the kid who read Huck Finn (no matter how boring he thought it was). And the kid who never sat in a child safety seat in the car. And the kid who occasionally skipped school. And the kid who played football. And the kid saw scary movies at a young age. And almost all the rest of the kids who didn't follow the rules we are all told are so critically important.
...this is a fight between the pro-science left and the SJW wacky-left. And unfortunately it looks like the wacky-left is winning.
Yeah. The astronomers thought they were elite, ruling class leftists in good standing. Now they're finding out they're just another group of wrong-race, wrong-culture little people getting bent over like the rest of America.
Sure we're all supposed to share resources and we all support Bernie Sanders taking from people and giving to others. But if there's a native group involved, then they have an absolute right to completely control any resource, for any reason. Even if the resource is infinitely valuable, and not sharing it will result in poverty and starvation for billions of people. The natives can't even be asked to talk about sharing it; their rights are supreme because they have the righteous skin color.
I consider Mauna Kea sacred ground that should be used only for telescopic exploration of the heavens. How can these heretics deny me my constitutional right of freedom of religion?
It doesn't matter. You don't have the righteous skin color, nor the righteous cultural origins. So, as far as the left is considered, you can fuck off.
It's leftist science types versus leftist racial justice warriors in a dispute mediated by a leftist government in Hawaii. Whichever side loses might want to rethink their allegiance and start supporting laws and due process and legal procedure rather than arrogantly stomping on people in the usual leftist way.
Yeah. Sucks when the chickens come home to roost. Totalitarian leftist shakedowns are only supposed to be used against them. Elite fellow travelers, party members, and people who parrot the slogans are supposed to be beyond the reach of the chaos.
Forget about Astronomy. It isn't being declared counter-revolutionary, yet. But the field doesn't have the diversity to continue much longer in the new order. Go with gender and ethnic studies. You don't need a telescope for that.
Fiendish villainy! How should we punish these monsters!!!? Won't someone think of the children!!!??
Also, I have this 14-step procedure that they should have thought of in advance to avoid this problem....of enabling 3rd party "repairs". Because why wouldn't a company want to spend a huge amount of time to enable their competitors? Because they're monsters. That's the only explanation.
And they're even more villainous for "lying" to everyone. They said only good things about their products. Why didn't they pay for TV advertisements to tell us all the potential bad things that could happen? Because they hate you and your mom and want her phone to fail when rapists are breaking into her house. No way could there be anything else going on.
The class action lawsuit starts now! No one should ever be allowed to make a secure product like this. Or to say good things about it without imagining and communicating all the possible bad things. Or to ever have one of their products fail in any way, regardless of who opens it up and tinkers with the parts inside.
...have enabled researchers to publish a paper on a prototype ARC that would be the world's smallest fusion reactor but with the greatest magnetic force and energy output for its size.
The world's smallest or largest [anything] will tend to have the most [any characteristic] and the least [any characteristic] for it's size.
Did any other Linux kernel developers ever quit? Maybe because they felt bad about how they were treated? Was it news at the time? Why not?
If you can explain why it's news, then I can explain why it's only news because some people have an agenda to divide people and promote an attack against one side. If you want to claim ignorance, then no one can explain anything because it's all a big unknowable mystery.
"Buy what others are buying" is good for getting experience with what others are using, which is useful if you think you might someday need a job somewhere.
If you think pointing out some examples of poisonous, exclusive behaviour is attacking all men, I don't think you being shielded from such staggering truths will help you. Seriously. You seem to be incredibly defensive about this. I'm a guy in technology, and I've seen some terrible behaviour, but I know that not everyone in technology (regardless of gender) is responsible. If you figured that out, your life would probably be a lot more enjoyable.
No one was poisoned. Please stop exaggerating and use truthful descriptive words. Thanks.
I don't think there will be very many specific news stories about gender issues. Are women working at Google getting raped? I don't think so. So we end up talking about someone's hurt feelings and about "microaggressions" because there's nothing of genuine substance to talk about.
If Slashdot stuck to reporting genuine news about gender issues in tech, we'd see a few stories a year about it. That would be good.
Yeah, some religious people are assholes about it. Just like some anti-religious people are assholes about it. People should stop being such assholes.
Slashdot shouldn't cater to assholishness in general. There are ways to report news that respect even disagreeable views. But you can also report news as "Look at what these [insert slur here] people are doing now". If Slashdot doesn't want to become the Stormfront for the Science! crowd (clan?), they should choose their communications style accordingly.
"Look at what these [people who are not like us] are doing now" is an uncivilized and divisive way to report on any topic. Slashdot shouldn't use that tone. No one should.

People made that mistake before. We learned our lesson. Government can't be trusted. They demonstrate it a new way every day.
Your opinions make me feel unsafe. Shouldn't Slashdot be a safe place for everyone? We must get authorities involved. This is a safety concern, after all.
That's denialist reasoning if I've ever heard it. Shame!
I see. You think any amount of money that doesn't buy you a new Ferrari every year is just pocket change.
...in the face of all the stupid, stupid scientists.
They're not stupid. They're a huge success. Their plan has been working great for many years. It's very lucrative.

"How Fast?"
Alarmingly fast. Longer answer: we don't know but can tell whatever story you need to justify whatever economic policy you want. It depends on whose money we are trying to take.

Said the person who lives in neither a totalitarian nor a leftist state. And has experience of neither of them.
And would like to keep it that way. But that requires more people to start saying no to totalitarian-minded leftists.
Yeah. Sucks when the chickens come home to roost. Totalitarian leftist shakedowns are only supposed to be used against them. Elite fellow travelers, party members, and people who parrot the slogans are supposed to be beyond the reach of the chaos.

What's the story then? "Linux Kernel developer I never heard of rage quits over hurt feelings"? What makes it news at all?
