because he changed the repo permissions to allow the UnrealEngine organisation write access, and github automatically watches repos for you when you're granted write access.

exactly, but one wrong doesn't excuse another. just because I didn't have my firewall configured correctly doesn't mean software that I use should a) have insecure defaults and b) not make a song and dance about them on the page designed to get you up and running with it.

"If anyone feels this strongly about a certain group (like Elia), they will find "devil's advocate" (for a lack of better expression) reasons to disagree with them simply because they don't like them, or otherwise try to diminish the person in various forms to deter them from contributing."

why on earth do you feel that you're an authority on how people _will_ behave? don't judge everyone else by your awfully low standards of professionalism, almost everyone i've ever worked with has been capable of working with people with which they have disagreements, without their differences of opinions causing issues.

grow up.

There are two reasons someone would make the non-utilitarian answer to the questions:

- They wouldn't feel that they could bring them self to cause someone's death (but they could still be utilitarian in principle)

- They feel that it's not the right ethical choice

A well known consequence of consuming alcohol is "dutch courage", becoming bolder and more risk-taking. I suspect the differences seen are actually just the utilitarian-in-principle folk being a bit braver.

Rather than asking:

"people must choose whether they would flip a switch to divert a runaway trolley, killing one person but sparing five others"

They could've asked what they think the correct thing for someone else to do would be.

Ah, I completely misunderstood the original commenter and in my mind conflated "outright aggression since prior to WW2" stuff with the black money, I was probably confused because the money laundering is kinda what the graphic alludes to.

Empire is of no relevance to British citizens today, or for a long time, whereas this is.

Also, I've never read anything about this mexican/bangladeshi/indian/russian/saudi black money that you're talking about—link?

This would be more of a story if the ruling went the other way. Someone threatens to kill people at work and loses his job, no shit. Imagine working with that person after you've had quite a specific and calculated death threat from that individual, completely impossible.

Some situations are just unfortunate, but that doesn't mean they're unjust.

and what is wrong with that?

You got burnt out, no need to turn it into a sob story or a bitter industry rant. You couldn't manage your time effectively.

By all means if you're unhappy change your lifestyle -- and pronto -- if you can eek out an existence in a more fulfilling way then get to it, but don't try telling everyone they work in a "stupid, backwards, fledgling industry" because you didn't like your job.

Just another "woe betide me"-disaffected-techie rant.

I don't think it's unprofessional and I wouldn't want to work with anyone who did, so if that's the effect it has for some people, then it's self-fulfilling!

My immediate gut-feeling after reading it was the same (though perhaps less strong). Through the author's journey, the article seems to suggest there's either guilt or blame, and no possibility of an in-between feeling of "it was out of my control." Still, a very interesting read.

You cannot cry propaganda without providing some evidence as to what is misleading or factually incorrect, because otherwise anyone can say anything is propaganda.
