I think the deeper problem is: How would legitimate new person with no reputation and no contacts be able to get a foothold at all if there are masses of bots pretending to be exactly such a person? A system which looks more at the content

Yes, and you shouldn't dump untreated municipal wastewater into rivers either? That's what we have treatment plants for. I don't get what that has to do with anything.

Is that so? The amount of atmosphere stays the same, but we're constantly adding more CO2. So wouldn't this continually reduce the dilution?

Ok, that's one of the pollutants... But I agree, measuring at the end of the ditch was the wrong thing to do if they take issue with that specific factory (though it was the right thing to do to prove a harmful pollution exists in ge

This seems to be the credo of too much of the tech industry lately.

I think a look at other countries would do well. There are many with much tighter regulations (e.g. EU countries, Singapore, Japan) and they seem to have good results with that. > We live in a much, much cleaner world than we did 50 yea

Thanks a lot for the writeup and all the pointers. Yeah, I think incoherence might play a role here. Will definitely check out those themes and have a look at ReactOS (what I wanted to anyway but was procrastinating)

Out of curiosity, are there any good comparisons in-detail between Windows 2000 and present-day Linux? I do have the same feeling that Windows 2000 was in many regards the best UI (tied with 7 maybe), but after switching to Linux I'm w

Killing 70.000 as revenge for 1200 is not particularly blurry. Neither is ensuring that Palestinians live in perpetual misery.
