Not sure I'd agree. It was very public, very much reverted and very much a demonstration of the context of the internet. Not to mention a very easily verifiable proof, if people picked up the textbooks and noticed the subtle mistake.

Until the "joke" of the flat earth got way out of hand and you realise that the internet is great at everything aside from context and this is something that isn't taught. Although I remember a professor screwing with us and

Trust me, in bad public education in the UK the map is simply presented. You cover the concept of how to draw the map but if the teacher used the word "protection" it causes eyes to gloss over... Sounds like you had a good educati

If this wasn't a poor mains system that's closer to a physical DoS attack vector which is with more than a bug bounty if you ever narrowed it down. Think of the number of meetings that could be cut short by the ohp system crashing

Would be nice if a major distro mitigated against this publicly. Why addressing this took so long I think it's worth taking a step back to look into. This isn't some small UI change it impacts system performance in a negative way

Isn't this the risk of "free form" rather than pre structured interviews and something that is easily fixable by changing interview style?

Sigh. I'm not talking about the "narratives" around the "conversation". The first problem is that this changes as it's almost 110% political. The comment I'm making is that bad education causes problems 10

I am not saying there was concern over nothing. This default reactive stance causes pointless arguments and discussion as I'm trying to demonstrate. Yes there were 200% valid concerns. But this lead more to something close to hysteria

Yes, extracting contaminated materials from an environment and decontaminating them would removing life because it's destructive. That's what cleaning this stuff up involves. I'm all for "environmentally damaging" o

So cleaning up after ourselves as a species requires effort... Again, this... Frankly doesn't surprise me, and I'm not blaming you for posting it but it just makes me want to crawl back into a cave and watch it all burn...

This just makes the problem worse because little remember this 30 years later and think you're a liar or idiot because you pushed exaggerated claims. In the 80s in the UK acid rain was hyped up, in the 90s it was 20 years of oil reserv
