"Bouncing Betty" was actually used as an example in a software engineering course I took. But you are right, extreme fuckups do get their place in history.
So? Noether was pretty good. She was also an exception. They do not make a trend. Equal opportunity just means the exceptions get their chance. It does not mean suddenly everybody has to be equal. BTW, less women in the hard sciences does not indicate less intelligence or skill, it indicates different choices.
Truth spoken, world goes nuts. As is the norm now.
Unfortunately so. This is just one issue were people get insane when confronted with facts. There are a lot of others, some critical to species survival. Probably due to a "neo-stupidity" movement that values emotions far over rationality.
My conclusion is that the human race as a group does not deserve to to survive.
I know a few female PhDs in engineering subjects. When asked, all of them said that gender discrimination was not an issue in their studies or their research, except for the very rare "conservative old professor" that was easily avoided. Gender discrimination in the hard sciences is at worst a myth and at best irrelevant. The rare cases were it happens get blown all out of proportion to fuel an utterly sexist and misandrist movement.
Instead, however, we have seven or eight billion -- who can count, they keep multiplying so quickly -- humans on Earth, most of which are below 90 IQ points.
You should look up how IQ points work. By definition the median IQ score is 100, So half of the population scores 100 or better.
Indeed. But the OP seems to be decidedly below that median. Probably thinks he is a "stable genius" or something like that though.
Simple: Clean food and air for the rich, and the rest are just slaves to them anyways, and who cares whether some slaves get birth-defects or mental problems because they are eating and breathing poison. Oh, ans slaves of course have to support their masters, no matter what.
The truly sad thing is that a lot of those slaves are actually voting for making their own situation worse, because they understand nothing. Democracy only works if a majority of the voters do understand how things work. That is not the case anymore, if it ever was the case.
He himself will probably not even be a footnote, he just is too meaningless as a person. The fact that somebody like him was elected president will indeed be remembered as a turning-point though.
The thing is, Eichmann is correct. That is why neither "orders" nor "the law" are in any form useful to determine the morality of actions. Many people do not understand that at all. The law is primarily a tool to make people behave in the way those in power want them to behave, no moral aspects involved beyond some window-dressing and PR cover-stories. The US also has discovered "the law" as an economic factor in a truly immoral act via the prison industry, where profits raise when more people are incarcerated.
And "orders"? That is just a more strict implementation of the same thing.
I have read the CoC. As all such attack tools, it looks utterly harmless. It is not. You are just completely unaware of history and how these things work.
Here is news for you: It is basically impossible to not commit crimes these days. And if they are just pissed you called them for nothing they may even manufacture some crimes they can pin on you.
a) They are full of shit b) 128bit is pretty worthless to do anything real with should they actually be able to deliver
In fact, they could probably fake b), because at that point classical computers or FPGA-based algorithms may still be faster. Just a guess, I have stopped following the details of this quantum-computing nonsense about 20 years ago, when it failed to deliver anything after about 20 years of research. This is just morons believing in magic. Noting usual, but also nothing to be taken seriously.
Indeed, it will. History is full of this. And soon, false accusations and backstabbing will start as well, completely destroying the community. I wonder how long it will take before we see the first accusations of rape.
Essentially, the kernel core-team has two options a) stomp on this CoC nonsense decisively now (with Linus currently disabled unlikely to happen) or b) fork the kernel in the next few years and leave the toxic vultures to fight over the scraps. Anybody actually decent and not just virtue-signalling can then contribute to the fork.
All the the top people need to do is to fork the kernel and withdraw support from the original. If even 50% do that, the original kernel is first stagnant, and then dies within a few years. Let's hope that happens when the witch-hunt currently being prepared takes off.

Well, half of the blithering idiots on the planet are women. This seems to be from one of them.
So? Noether was pretty good. She was also an exception. They do not make a trend. Equal opportunity just means the exceptions get their chance. It does not mean suddenly everybody has to be equal.

Discriminating against men is fine, after all they are scum. However, discriminating against the true female master-gender is a crime against nature!
Unsupported claim is unsupported. Seriously, you should be ashamed of yourself for spouting propaganda like this.
A single instance does not make a statistic. The great women on STEM do exist, but they are few. Far too few for this to be a measurement error.
Truth is not welcome in politics of any kind. It invariably makes a lot of the politicians look really bad.

I think he is just casually evil, i.e. he does not care about what happens to anybody but himself.
That said, Mercury is one of the nastiest things you can expose humans to.
Quite true. Most people do not manage that one great invention, and those few that do usually do it only once.
This "Solid" thing sounds overly complex and far too removed from what exists to ever be established.
Indeed. MS is always very proud of doing it far worse than all those that have done something similar before...
The list is obviously worthless or actually identifies really bad software...

So you plan to have people not die from ODing by having them die from ODing because nobody calls 911? You are deranged.

Fine inhumane authoritarian mind-set you have there.
Here is news for you: It is basically impossible to not commit crimes these days. And if they are just pissed you called them for nothing they may even manufacture some crimes they can pin on you.
Also, obvious troll is obvious.
