Which generation of chemist/scientist since the 1970s did not describe their work as developing “safer” poisons.
Which chemical company has not sold their product primarily with the “safer” headline?
Do you really believe it? Can you not just see that’s the umbrella justification under which all new generations of poison products are developed?
The safe poison is no poison.
Why are we so intent on killing things on the planet?
“Our new product the Silent Spring Spray 9000 sets safety totally aside to give the farmer total apocalypse over all six legged creatures!!!!” said no chemical company or poisons chemist since DDT.
Not better, more targeted poisons. Just stop poisoning and killing.
Why is it the words of the poisoners are always so positive and optimistic, telling a beneficial tale of forward looking improvement.
The words have been the same since the poisoning started in the 20th century through generation after generation of new better less dangerous poisons.
Your message is this “oh no we’re no working on bad poisons, we’re fixing it, we’re making the good new poisons, the ones that will fix things!”. It’s so easy to see through.
I see through it... it’s just making new poisons to kill things. And the sales and justifications go on and on.
Stop it. Stop selling stories of why your poison is a good poison.
We, as a society, poison pretty much everything as a standard part of the agricultural process.
The outcome -the goal - of that is of course, death of vast numbers of insects.
Mission accomplished. It’s a success story, strangely.
The only thing that seems weird to me is how society was so easily convinced that soaking all our food in poison is OK and not a problem all good thumbs up. That’s really weird.
If your outrage threshold is this low then you’re going to spent all your life in a state of outrage.
It’s nit even interesting let alone important.
Information in github, far from being surrounded by an invisible force field of integrity protection, is actually prime hunting territory for recruiters and any recruiter who doesn’t mine it probably needs to explain to their boss why they’re doing such a bad job.
The recruiter in question, far from being apologetic should have said “yes of course I got your email from GitHub so what?”
The guy recommends avoiding this recruiter. I recommend you use this recruiter as they clearly display basic competence at the task of recruiting.
Computers. And if you want to be pedantic, you'll say but they would exist for military etc!!!!!
But if you're not being pedantic you'll agree that most stuff relating to computing exists in its current form in lockstep with yhe ability of companies to sell and therefore advertise their products.
Not just computers but everything related to them too.
This is a dogmatic viewpoint I think often seen in very technical people who are unwilling to see the interconnectedness of how our society works.
I bet there's any number of things this person values that simply wouldn't exist without advertising.
It's a childish and immature opinion really.
Anyone who hates advertising this much should show their commitment by working at an organization that does not advertise. Loathing advertising and at the same time depending on it for income is deeply hypocritical.
So why haven't all websites cut off these countries?
Why haven't the ISPs cut off these countries?
Github has acted because github is under the control of a giant corporation, Microsoft or otherwise.
So there's a line that runs precisely from Microsoft acquisition to cutting off countries from the world's largest open source repository. It's a direct outcome of the Microsoft acquisition.
