> I don't see how the presumption of innocence can prevail

That's alright. You're not in a position that requires you to.

..or did you want to find out?


> the root of the problems (of which there are many) are all cultural

Yes, thank you for restating the obvious. Research should be open, that is what we want. Off to do useful things now.


It's a very simple concept:

You are allowed to say things. You are assuming responsibility for, i.e. accepting the consequences of, your right to say things.]

Society is then free to cast you out if you say hateful things. You say this society is not free. This is meaningless to this society, it has chosen to operate on assumptions which are fundamentally incompatible with your behaviour.


Well if you hadn't stopped reading:

> “What we are finding is that they are not angry people. They’re not enjoying anger when they listen to the music, but they are in fact experiencing a range of positive emotions.”


Out of the 16700 populations tracked - spanning ~4k species - their average decline since 1970 is ~60%.


> You are going to be the only one of 20 people on the plane doing this, for jump after jump, no matter how experienced you become?

If they want to be safe they will. If they have a death wish, I'm not getting on a plane with them. I'm more than happy I've never encountered this sort of behaviour.


> it's totally 'not cool' for experienced jumpers to ask for a gear check

Yeah, that mentality will get someone killed. Literally one of the first 3 things to do in any dropzone I've been in is a gear check, and I don't jump without it (duh?). I think it's an extremely reckless thing to suggest.


I am not at all condoning a behaviour, simply transmitting an observation.


Yeah, of course. Wish I could say the same for other comments.


I like how you emphasise the "IS" instead of the "if".


For every anecdote you have about code reviews finding bugs, I have my own anecdote about people writing code going through a thorough code review process and the code crashes the first time an end user tries to use the functionality.

Sounds like you have bigger problems than code review!


> it was "let's publicly disclose the vulnerability at the soonest opportunity". > ... > he has made it clear that he isn't interested in acting as a productive member of the community.

Don't project your opinions about disclosure to other people and their intentions.


If you substitute "the bugs" with "climate change", this gets a lot hotter.
