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.

Javascript Standards Team is such an Oxymoron.
Yeah, didn't know there was a standard committee and can't believe how inept they are.

Bottom tracks, easy
“You and your entire family” means “All life on Earth”.
That should make the decision somewhat easier.
By my definition, family is who you treat like family.
I try to treat everyone I meet like family
If you make it "all human live" it starts to look quite attractive again
I thought seaweed didn't have a common ancestor
there might be an argument that JavaScript kills more than a nuclear bomb
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.
Wait, which one leaves you unemployed?
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!
Which metropolitan area?
Assuming it is in the US, at 4.5 million it can only be San Francisco/Oakland/Berkeley.
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
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.
Well, no.
In scenario A they are instantly vaporized. In scenario B they are brutally sliced into multiple pieces and crushed to death, rather painfully depending on the speed of the trolley.
You need to study up on your trolleys. That's clearly a Vaporizer Trolleynator 3000.

sudo rm train.sh
problem solved 👍
There is at least one user here in the superposition of being on two tracks at once.
I like those odds
Middle track. Then I have plenty of time to hotwire the nuke with my handy dandy mallet
Let's play coin flip!
Fuck the metro I guess.
