This. Furthermore, the questions are primarily policy related, so they are especially meaningless.
I don't know about you, but I personally would like to see science applied to policy much more often than it is.

Man, they're putting everything in the cloud these days!
Which organization is that? You forgot to include the website this time.
Very sorry. I forgot to include the links too! I meant conservatives and liberals.
I would think that a link to their fucking web page counts as a definition of the acronym. YMMV.
You realize I'm the one who wrote the summary, right?
The correct figures for the Global Warming question are: AAAS members 87%, conservatives 29%, liberals 76%.

Another implementation would be to encrypt each item with a unique key and destroy the keys, rather than the underlying item, in a delete event, such that not even forensic tools would have a reasonable chance at recovery once the key-storage media has been re-written.
Then you'll need cold storage for all those keys you never use. Which, of course, can't be deleted unless they're encrypted with yet more keys, which will themselves need cold storage, so you have to....
And the hypersensitivity of people these days is just ridiculous - especially when they aren't even in the group being "insulted". I find myself just not making jokes and making the most banal conversation now because of fear of pissing off an idiot and getting screamed at or shot. For example, back when that whole bullshit of those pizza place people not wanting to serve gay people, I didn't think it was a big deal - I DIDN'T say it was right, btw. But fucking A, I got screamed at by a straight person for being a bigot, and god forbid when I posted something like that on Reddit, I got voted down into oblivion. That couldn't have possibly have been from gay people because they are a very very very small minority. It was all sanctimonious bullies.
And I think that is where a lot of this PC backlash is originating from: sanctimonious bullies.
Self-aware much?
..and he got terminated from all of his positions.
He resigned from an honorary position at University College London. His day job is Principal Scientist at Cancer Research UK. As far as I can find out, he still has that job.
Tim Hunt was attacked and dismissed from UCL, the Royal Society and other bodies
No he wasn't. He resigned from a couple (largely honorary) posts. He kept his paying job.
Oh, please. Sir Tim acted like an ass in public, and people made fun of him.
If this is the horrible face of Political Correctness run amok, I'm really not very worried.
The flag we're talking about was created to boost morale of the soldiers, and was only for use in battle.
But the soldiers were fighting to preserve a system of hatred, slavery, bigotry, and treason. Many of my ancestors among them. Thankfully, they lost. I don't honor the cause of my ancestors, and I am flabbergasted that anybody would.
