I still need to make a feasible .exe for Windows (preferably pyinstaller with --onefile but apparently assets are missing unless I place them right next to the .exe - in which case, it won't just be one .exe I will ship to users =( )


This is a nice gesture and it's good to see people reaching out to those who lost their jobs at Mozilla.


In the "Goodwill Tops by State Over Time" blocks there's a state called Michegan right above Michigan. Made me look up to see if it was called that at any point in the past, but it seems to be a typo :)


Ahhhhhhhh, sorry mate, good catch. I'll fix after work. I'm Canadian if it gets me a little off the hook.


Apologies. I had to clip part of the EO's official title to fit the title requirement.


I'll chip in because the OP's sentiment is fairly understandable, as there's no concrete metric that people use to quantify how "useful" one's tagline is on Github.

Also, you did mention that OP isn't attacking anyone, so I don't understand the purpose of flagging - even though the post may "seem" negative. I personally feel it's not.


That isn't why I flagged it. I flagged it as a judgment call.


I understand your point, cannot edit the "stupid" word.

I kept my old laptop (used to be win7, now Ubuntu) since my printer only support USB printing. Other than that you can keep it for side projects within your LAN =)


Then you're still friends. Depending on your performance and how both of you treat each other, that friendship may become affected but as long as you still treat each other as friends and hang out, that friendship will continue.

Of course, that was just my anecdotal experience.


> How do we teach people to draw that line

By teaching people to recognize where faulty data are and how they were collected. I always encourage people to look at several sources of news and figure out conclusions on their own, ignoring potential bias. [0]

It's never a lost cause to emphasize the importance of digging through an academic paper or a news article, effectively doing their own research instead of just listening to figureheads and looking through headlines.

This makes us susceptible to what's essentially a Gish gallop, though. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop, for those unfamiliar.)

It takes inordinately more time and knowledge to debunk a false claim than it does to make it.


Also worth noting that false claims need not be malicious to serve as a DOS attack. An army of untrained ‘researchers’ drawing improbable conclusions from randomly combined snippets of scientific papers can generate a huge amount of pseudoscientific ‘sourced-looking’ ideas.

Unfortunately it takes a lot more effort to actually understand a paper then to ‘just throw it out there’.
