The slowing down of population growth is real though. Trend of fewer children is across the board not just developed countries. Current trajectory estimates population to peak out in 2050-2080 and then decline, for some in their youth in next 30 or 50 years may not be that too far to completely dismiss.

    In Asia preference toward lighter skin tone existed before race idea introduced. Basically peasants working outside got tanned vs nobles staying indoors, it was class-based discrimination. It's by no means pretty back then and later meld with western racism and got messier

    Spacial radiation from point source reduces by square of distance, obstacles also increase your odds of survival. So just take cover/few meters away can be big deal for this case (his body worked as the cover to others too).

    However, what really happens beyond critical acute radiation threshold is truely gruesome and utterly untreatable, so I wouldn't make light of such case in any way.

    People praising this don't read "as reasonablly" clause. There's already wiggle room and political/economic climate involved in how to implement (also, ALARA is not only covering sub microSv/yr realm where background Radiation is about). Moving away from it can certainly loosen the grip in the future, likely at the expence of onsite workers.

    It just looks like personal blocklist considering some users appear on the blocklist more than once (though regular blocklist doesn't allow duplicate)

    From announcement post:

    Hi, I am a locale leader of SUMO Japanese community. I have contributed to the Support over 20 years, before the beginning of support.mozilla.org.

    Today, November 4, we decided to end our SUMO Japanese community.

    In October 22, the sumobot was introduced to Japanese KB articles. I cannot accept its behavior and no words.

    • It doesn't follow our translation guidelines.
    • It doesn't respect current localization for Japanese users, so they were lost.
    • It approves its direct English MT immediately for All archived KB articles.
    • It approves only in 72 hours after its updates, so we lost our work to train new contributors.
    • It has been working now without our acceptance, without controls, without communications.
    • Over 300 Knowledge Base articles are overridden by sumobot.

    They are all happened on the product server, not on staging server. I understand that this is mass destruction of our work and explicit violation to the Mozilla mission, allowed officially.

    Therefore, I (marsf) declare:

    • I quit to contribute to support.mozilla.org.
    • I prohibit to use all my translation as learning data for SUMO bot and AIs.
    • I request to remove all my translation from learned data of SUMO AIs.

    However, individual Japanese contributors may want to work in their responsibility. It is their choice, we don't care nor support.

    Bye.
