That seems like the kind of oversight one expects from a junior dev just joining a team, that's where ones job as a senior dev to push them through the process comes in.

"Bye bye mainstream, hello ghetto." Yes, because your use of deprecated software is no longer supported is TOTALLY the same thing as being relocated into the Ghetto in Warsaw.

I don't know how you got warm fuzzy from that ending, but I'm not clear on why giving alcohol to someone living on the streets makes you angry. Does being homeless imply that someone is obviously an alcoholic that shouldn't b

Clickbait misrepresentation of a study on worms, which reinforces dubious and harmful stereotypes. I wish it was just an issue of terrible journalism on epic levels, but it looks like the the studies Co-Author may be onboard the "I&#x2

The immediate and generational trauma and pain that's being caused by this violence is fucking horrendous and something that enrages and saddens me. I choose to focus my ire on those responsible for creating the policies and making the

You don't have to, but doing so is a strategy to prevent yourself from going down that same path. When you cast people into the realm of inhuman monster, you're also telling yourself a story that there is no possible way that you

TL;DR; DoD Manual says subordinates have an obligation to question morality of orders. Lack of empathy is a severe handicap and liability for a soldier. The DOD is pretty clear on this point ( https://tinyurl.com/yxqfwyrx [

I'm inferring from your statement that you believe that the only justified use of deadly force is a situation where someone is themselves at risk of physical harm, is that accurate? As far as caring for them, I don't think anyone

Does this only apply to the Swiss government, or is Facebook sharing any pictures that hit their filters with law enforcement agencies of whatever country you happen to be living in?

I think the process of dehumanization occurs on all sides of the equation, and it's something to be questioned and examined whenever it happens. Engaging in the same process and behavior damages the intellectual credibility of an argum

It doesn't matter how much care was taken in making the initial judgement if the information using it to reach it is flawed, or if the situation changes in the time between the decision being made and it's execution. I'd imag

I'd argue that the main objective of the job is to achieve the strategic objectives of the country engaged in armed conflict. Indiscriminate killing completely devoid of a moral or ethical framework definitely does not accomplish that

Sharing the dataset with the full email list instead of individually sharing his results with each person on the list definitely toes the boundary, but given that the parents are going to be the drivers of change in this situation I'd

It's not always the case to be sure, but I'd argue that there's a large difference between making the intentional choice to share information and accidentally disclosing it to unintended parties.
