But farmers always had the option to not buy their products the next year.... they chose to because of the increase in profits / revenue and reduction of labor. It's lock-in for a growing season. If you didn't buy their products next year they had the right to come in and see if you were still using it (without purchasing it) but 99.99% of the people didn't and no issues occurred.

Same for water, flood your plants by putting them in the tub and fill it to a few inches above the top of the plant. More is always better.

Please tell me this is more than just lengthening telomeres, that's more of a symptom of aging than the cause of it. (Yeah, there's diseases related to it, again, symptoms of aging rather than the cause).

I've got an idea and cause to do something like this (telling users to go to a localhost URL seems to be too difficult...) but I've heard lots against Electron. Custom UI's for Mac & Windows would be too time-consuming, especially with an existing HTML/JS gui. :/

What are good alternatives? I know sciter but it's not open source, and for reason I'd prefer it to be open source.

While I doubt he came anywhere close to curing himself (when your cure is more buzzwords than products....) I don't think the attempt had anything to do with the death. The body is versatile for lots of those things, and the immune system and kidneys probably got rid of just about everything before any effect.

It was probably an accidental drowning of some type, drugs, overdose, or something. I doubt this is the first death in a sensory deprivation chamber....

You're actually on slashdot right now. I can't believe I have to tell you that.
CoC's only apply to those organizations, and are usually unenforced and dropped after awhile since they don't work.

Actually, considering your comments and your mind making up things that I want even though I say they won't work, I'm going to assume no, you haven't looked at this comment thread, and have no idea what you are trying to argue or what point you are trying to make. You should just go back to Youtube, but I know you won't.

Have you looked at the comment thread you are involved in?

It was my only example, high merit and out of a job for being a minority. There's plenty others on google and out there in general.

So you think that I think they don't work and I want them everywhere? How do you deal with such incongruencies in your head?

I was asked for a citation about the world not being about merit alone, I provided it. You are the person who chooses to keep bringing it up.

It's an example of a person with very high merit (Teacher of the Year) who was subsequently fired anyways. Showing that merit is not the lone factor when going across companies, projects, and organizations. If you'd like more info on minorities represented in open source projects, there are many search engines out there now.

So, while it may be completely irrelevant to the story, it's not irrelevant to the comment thread, which you seem to be having a hard time grasping. So far you are the only one who keeps bringing Brett up and you are the only one proposing more CoC's as the solution.

I mean, I literally said "I also said the CoC will probably not work."

Which you've twisted into I want one what applies everywhere. That's some crazy mental gymnastics.

Are you sure it isn't you who are scary? You can't seem to read or follow a thread made up of pretty short sentences....

Read the thread, it's talking about contributions to a project, not specific to LLVM.

I'm agreeing that someone's contributions should be based on merit alone. But then I point out that in the real world, it's simply not.

I also said the CoC will probably not work.

It's not about Brett, it's about the way things "should be" against the way that things are. "Should be" world is a great place, it just doesn't exist.

It's the twisting of the word "discrimination" to be always bad. Discrimination is something everyone does everyday. How is it being used? Just to exclude women and minorities? That's bad. Are your discriminating against a restauraunt that was in the news for an E. coli outbreak? That's not a bad use of discrimination or unreasonable.

For awhile people knew contexts, but lots of people think there is no context now.
