Option 3 means that the Javascript standards team dies either way, right? Number 3. No hesitation.

the c++ team is a sacrifice I'm willing to make. can we just shoot Brendan Eich in the head if he's not in there too?
Push him onto the pressure pad. Make it his fault.
I feel like all C++ does these days is badly and very slowly copy other languages. It wouldn't be a huge loss.

I've played enough X-COM to know that 50/50 is actually 100%, I just don't know which way. Better trigger it!!
30%? Let me deliver that shot with crit across the map to your teammate hunkered down behind full cover for you!
Bottom tracks, easy
Worth it
Well, you can take yourself out of the equation because you're not tied down and can just move after flipping the switch.
chooses bottom track
"C'mon...c'mon!"
trolley heads towards committe members
"Dammit!"
runs over and jumps on the nuclear bomb pressure pad
I'll take the 50/50 because those are some damn good odds!
those are the best odds i've had in years

“You and your entire family” means “All life on Earth”.
That should make the decision somewhat easier.
If you make it "all human live" it starts to look quite attractive again

Joke's on you I hate myself and my family
sudo rm train.sh
problem solved 👍
Ok so this one just isn't fair.
Two possibilities end up with me dead, two end up with millions dead, and one ends up with me being unemployed.
Sorry not sorry Team A and B, sacrifices must be made.

there might be an argument that JavaScript kills more than a nuclear bomb
Which metropolitan area?
Assuming it is in the US, at 4.5 million it can only be San Francisco/Oakland/Berkeley.
would the bomb also kill javascript and C++ or would I have to keep throwing trolleys at it until I get both silicon valley and the JS/C++ devs?
At that distance it also kills you, so it sounds like a good deal. No regrets.

Fuck the metro I guess.
why would you wanna kill the programming language commitees.
I like those odds
There is at least one user here in the superposition of being on two tracks at once.
Quickly move the switch while on track, then hope the paths willl be wide enough to stop the trolley.
Am I in the Metropolitan area?
You are on track A and the bomb is within sight. If you get the shit end of the 50/50, everyone in the diagram would be vaporized instantly
So you're saying there's a 100% chance the comitees get vaporized by choosing the bottom track.
