I hope it doesn't indicate regression of our whole culture.
It does seem to. This isn't exactly an isolated incident.

No, what's funny is you trying to deny the massive overlap between those groups.
So if they haven't even accounted for a significant fraction of our own galaxy, what does that mean about dark matter?
As far as I can tell from a bit of quick research, absolutely zilch. Since dark matter is mainly hypothesized to explain the observed motion of galaxies, and most of the evidence for it comes from observing other galaxies and, especially, galactic clusters, the size of the Milky Way has no bearing.
Also, as someone else pointed out, this is about volume in any case; the actual mass of the Milky Way is probably not a lot different from previous estimates—but all estimates of the size and or mass of the Milky Way are necessarily rough in any case, since it's too close to see very well.
Yes, that's the kind of sociopathy I was talking about, thanks for the example.

That would make sense if it was big companies who use that word, but it isn't.
You realise that the people here who can actually "report all movement" are Uber?

And they're not really very concerned about privacy either when it suits them:
I find it strange that Uber doesn't try harder to fix this problem.
Not at all strange. They are sociopathic libertarian company devoted to "disruption", which is generally code for "we break the law if it gets in the way of us making money and we think we can get away with it".
Nobody said lynch mob. That term has a connotation of violence without cause.
No, it doesn't. At all. It means exactly what you are talking about.
Do you realise at all that people die in wars?
Like, people who are not Kim Jong-Un?
Except, you know, that in other societies women are interested in science and technology.
So no. You are quite simply wrong.
Yep, shure. But that is clearly contra-productive for the whole community
Nothing clear about it whatsoever. It means people can actually make a profit, which means they will actually put in the effort to make things that community will benefit from.
And no, with a few notable but very specific exceptions, you can't really make money off GPL'd software.
Sure, if they want to maintain their own fork that nobody uses, they can do that.
If it's MIT licensed it's probably a bit too open for him.
Can you name a person who has been scared to go to a police station because he downloaded an mp3 at some point?
