I don't have an answer for you, but wanted to say I sympathize with what you are saying. People who hand wave and say "just change the company culture" must not have been in your shoes.

Good point about blame not being a point in time measurement. As far as going forward though, the countries currently producing the most CO2 are the ones most able to have an impact by reducing their CO2 emissions.

Isn't it objectively true that the countries producing the most CO2 are more to blame? As are the ones doing the least to curb emissions.

Which countries are the biggest emitters of CO2? It seems like the challenge is getting all countries to take action to reduce CO2 emissions, especially the biggest emitters.

I think the term you mean is comparative negligence. Contributory negligence would decline all coverage if the insured in any way contributed to the event. I'm guessing the hotel filed a property damage claim with their insurance, who

No need to buy the machinery, unless you really want to. You can order your own tests right now from LabCorp and Quest, through sites like requestatest.

This is why I don't trust Google anymore, especially when it comes to anything medical I might buy. I always Google something and add "Reddit" to it to get better real, less-biased opinions on something. Or if there is a site

Good decision makers can recognize “one way doors” and adjust their risk tolerance accordingly. But I think it is important to also realize that what is risky to one person, might not be risky to another. Either because they are at the end

Just because it didn’t work out for you, doesn’t mean it won’t for someone else. Not many 18 year olds would have the ability to jump right into an industry, film in your example. So for them, I can imagine the benefits to going to college

Sure, the author should be responsible. Yes, GitHub should have a better UX around this action. But... There is another thing to consider: Is it really necessary that a repo that is accidentally made private and then made public should lose
