"This is victim blaming by definition and it is pointless, because justice already decided on this case." Well, you're mixing issues. Those are two completely separate arguments. 1) victim blaming, and 2) it's already been tried On point 2. I don't necessarily agree that once a court has tried something, it is automatically correct and shouldn't be discussed. I'm not a lawyer, but I spent a full week in trial in San…

Just because I used some common figure of speech, it doesn’t mean I have bias and I „cried“ it, as you wrote. At least I base my comments on facts and do not try to stretch the experience of legal process in the Default Country to the other side of the planet where legal system is different. Now, to your question. I assume that if court decided twice that someone is guilty, this person admitted that and there’s no re…

You used the term "victim blaming" to shut down conversation. The other stuff, whether or not the courts work, is irrelevant to that.

I think the other people who have responded to your use of the term "victim blaming" state my points as well as I could, so I'll leave it at that.

Jesus npm is a cancerous dumpster fire. Guy must have been a saint to continue maintaining the project in spite of all of entitled "developers" using his package and scolding him for DARING TO ASK FOR A DIME.

Actually, while I think npm is the worst example, I am of the opinion that this is the largest issue facing OSS today. Companies using lots of OSS packages without ever giving back a dime. The argument is always that this helps developers get a job, but often enough the jobs don't allow the developers to work full time on those packages, but they are still somehow expected to continue the work in their past-time. The…

A big part of this problem is "BSD license everything". Make your work Affero GPL, and charge for commercial use. Stop giving away your labor and expertise for free. Solidarity.

He will be able to maintain the repo. From the sentence [0] you can see that he is sentenced to spend his term in an open prison [1] (Russian колония-поселение)

It means he will be able to have internet access without any problems.

So no need to panic at all.

One could go to prison for this in USA, but only if the local police and prosecutors already hated one's guts for other reasons. In most cases a drunk pedestrian would be considered less sympathetic than a sober driver. Yes it is a pretty shabby "justice" when sympathies rather than facts determine verdicts.

Someone I know was driving down a country road and struck a person in the middle of the road and killed them. The person wasn't drunk as far as I know, but their car broke down and they were trying to walk to somewhere. Why they chose to walk in the middle of the road at night no one knows, but due to the desolate region and the unexpectedness of it, they were not seen. There was no jail time and charges filled. It w…

But if one was actively picking up the other while oncoming drivers flashed their lights to warn people, and he drove his motorcycle at an excessive speed through the crosswalk?

If there's an oncoming car with high beams on a straight empty road I'm more inclined to speed up so I pass them by faster.

If you're blinded, you should slow down or even stop until you'll be able to see again. Driving blinded is irresponsible.

My country's driving rules say that explicitly.

It's not "the size of your logs", it's adverts, specifically. Misrepresenting the argument, and name-calling, also don't help. There is also the fact that not including ads would require less labour than including them, even if removing them requires further labour. being "entitled" to correct behaviour isn't unreasonable. IS it OK for me to spam you, because I don't owe you shit either. morality is a society/communi…

What planet do you live on? The one I am from is filled with tech companies making money selling ads and user data without scruple. But god forbid someone providing their labor gratis would DARE ask for a piece of it. Why should an individual contributor not be allowed to partake in that, when the people who are using his work are making money off it? A social convention, who put you in charge of that? There are plen…

And where do these tech companies put their ads? You mean ads on their proprietary website(s)?

Not the same thing at all.

No one "put me in charge" of social convention, they are established naturally, And this one was not a bad one.

So I choose to jump off of an overpass and happen to land straight in your vehicle's path and now you're somehow negligent?

At night time, coming over a hill, coming up to a crosswalk, being met with oncoming headlights, it’s reasonable to expect a little more caution than just driving the speed limit as if it’s broad daylight on a flat road. The report seems to indicate that one person was on the ground and the other was helping them up. This doesn’t sound as completely unavoidable as your example.

The guy was moving at 60kmh which is about 37mph.

The only way you do not notice incoming shit at this speed riding a bike is because the shit literally jumps at you.

I know only too well what the "courts of law" are like in Russia. My opinion is that the guy got a wrong lawyer who either could not pass a bribe to the judge, or the other side passed a bigger bribe.

What a wild ride this has been. Looking at the police report, I do wonder what the punishment would be in other countries. It seems the victims were laying drunk on the ground in dark clothing at top a hill (edit: hill not mentioned in police report, but seems logical given the headlight statement), causing the headlight beams to not illuminate them. On top of that, incoming traffic blinded the driver. This is of cou…

I think it is worth including the fact that: a. He was driving a motorcycle and b. One of the victims was not lying on the road, but instead standing and trying to pull up the other (or so I've read)

If he was driving a car there would have been two corpses.

This is the only difference.
