He said increase in funding, not reduction of deficit. They're related, but not the same thing.

Why not? Free housing is charity. Free food and water is charity. Those are more important than healthcare.

Nothing wrong with charity, until people begin trying to force it.

And you're back to perpetuating sexism instead of trying to get rid of it.

Check out Cosmopolitan magazine. The women who buy that are obviously incredibly sexist and view women as objects.

I actually doubt this. Not only have I never seen a reputable source reporting this, from personal experience videogamers and other techies are about the least likely segment of the population to ever do this. Lawyers, salesmen, politicians... those are the groups that might act like this.

It's an invalid point. The 'shittiest jobs' are low-paid because they're menial, require no skill, and anybody can do them. The shitty jobs that require intelligence and skill are... highly paid. And there are many shitty jobs that are highly paid.

It isn't decided by race, gender, or economic status. It's decided by the market, and the demand for the work an individual is able to do.

Dammit. Posting to undo moderation. You deserve an 'informative' which I can no longer give.

I just signed it, worked ok. Had to create an account; first petition I've ever signed. I think they're generally nonsense, but this issue has raised my hackles enough I'm going to do all the nutty 'awareness raising' I can.

There comes a point where, in your desire to avoid it, you inadvertently circle around to blatant racism again; you've hit that point.

Both of you are rated +4 insightful right now. Typical /. group think.

That is the exact opposite of groupthink. That's individualthink.

Lots of people, obviously. Probably millions. Why'd you ask this question about a statement that had a clear answer?

I suspect this is a joke. If so, well done.

The rest of the world will also begin to go hungry.

Ok, this isn't rigorous at all (obviously), but it seems to me that if the size of the gap continuously grew, but fluctuated randomly, you would still have an infinite number of primes close together even though the average distance between them never stopped increasing. They would become fewer and fewer, but never stop, and hence would be infinite.

Not doubting the guy's work, but I'm doubting the summary's "the gaps between consecutive numbers don't keep growing forever."

Personally I know of no software that can currently reverse a jpeg into raw.

Me neither, and now that I think of it, that's kind of a glaring hole. Somebody needs to write one, so that the entire chain of evidence can be faked. At this point, I think it's better to establish in everybody's mind that no photos can be trusted, rather than some notion that the fakes can still be distinguished from the real.
