Sounds to me that deepsun and I are in agreement that an error message should tell you what the actual error was.

I.E. ERROR: TLS handshake failed: certificate chain unverified

As a sysadmin, not developer, I hate Java almost as much as Windows. The error messages Java apps produce are like coded messages that you have to decipher.

I.E. Instead of " TLS Handshake failed" it will be something like "ERROR: PKIX failed". So now I have to figure out that PKIX is referring to PKI and it would make too much sense to provide the domain that failed. Instead I have to play the guessing game.

I think the point is that some start with an advantage when it comes to earning merit because by luck of birth they were born to parents with a lot of wealth.

I don't think you can have a truly meritocratic system unless everyone starts on a level playing field with the same access to resources. That is not a system that exists anywhere on this planet.

The whole point is that only some of those engaging in anti-social behaviour recieve punishment.

People still tune in to watch Alex Jones. I wouldn't hold my breath.

I have had the opposite experience living in the south. The cars with the most bumper sticks around here are owned by conservatives. Today I saw a truck with a US flag in place of its tailgate, "I back the blue" painted on the rear windshield, a Trump sticker, a sticker that said "Don't steal! The government hates competition." and more.

Controlling shares are owned by Vanguard and BlackRock. I would not consider either to be progressive.

They didn't say either of those things. What they said is that you can say no and not accept contributions without being a toxic asshat.

I have yet to see anyone attack you, here or in any of the links people have provided. I don't know all the history of your interactions with these people, but it feels like you are playing the victim without cause.

But is it honestly enough to notice if you live half a mile a way? Couldn't they just put up sound damping like the oil rigs do?

How is that fence any different than the 3m high fence the deer breeder down the road has?
