> 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.

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

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

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.

Using SIGABRT gets you a stack trace in the same manner as a burnt house excuses you from sweeping the floors.

> This could have been written by a person with a grudge for all I am concerned.

So glad that you can judge his points regardless of that irrelevant information, then.

I'd use firefox despite its schizophrenic features, if it were at least as responsive as chrome, on my mostly-idle home desktop.

Maybe one day, mozilla. Maybe one day.
