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?

    Javascript Standards Team is such an Oxymoron.

    “You and your entire family” means “All life on Earth”.

    That should make the decision somewhat easier.

    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.

    I'd take my odds with the bottom track.

    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?

    I've played enough X-COM to know that 50/50 is actually 100%, I just don't know which way. Better trigger 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

    A Mark VI only has a 18 to 160 kiloton yield.

    Can we replace it with a B83?

    I'll take the 50/50 because those are some damn good odds!

    Are we in the blast zone of the nuke?

    Maybe we could use Javascript to direct a simple robot to set the lever while we remain at a safe distance?

    Maybe the real solution to this diagram is to nuke it from orbit.

    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.

    There is at least one user here in the superposition of being on two tracks at once.

    Middle track. Then I have plenty of time to hotwire the nuke with my handy dandy mallet
