A palaeontologist interviewed here on Slashdot pointed out that this sort of logic only works for the apex predator, and the apex herbivore. They are constantly in a struggle to be the 'best.' For other species, you can find all kinds of weird evolutions as they find their niche in the world.

Well, actually, that's been in the news quite a bit

What store do you go to for railroad ties?

Why don't you sleep in the shelter?

Do you have a plan for ending the 'apartheid,' or are you just expressing generic dislike of the situation?

It's important to understand why people claim things, instead of just taking them at face-value.

After reading the article, his reasoning is that the Iron Dome is mostly chasing the rockets from behind, and therefore cannot be effective, because a rocket cannot effectively be caught from behind, or from the side. Furthermore, previous anti-missile systems (the patriot) have had their success rate exaggerated.

I have no idea if that is reasonable, but it's why he thinks it.

oh, that's super annoying, especially since the entire purpose of autotools is to make things cross-platform compatible

Maybe you are that way, in which case I applaud you. I've spent too much time trying to get people to admit that there are some regulations that we should get rid of. It's rather annoying.

The worst is when two of those people get in an argument and say, "we need more regulation!" "no, we need less regulation!" and you're sitting there watching, thinking, "hey, how about considering each piece of regulation individually? Because chances are we need more good regulation, and to get rid of bad regulations."

Or another one that is kind of funny, when someone says, "we need to regulate that industry." ok, but what specific regulations are going to make a difference? It's especially funny when they say it about an industry like banking or telecom, that is already highly regulated. Changing the raw number of regulations isn't going to do much there, because there are tons of them. Specifics matter.

Protesting is for tools, and people who don't understand the system.

What's wrong with autotools?

Are you sure he's that aware?

Uh, math is hard for you or something?

Because if you can rally enough people to your cause to actually win a war, then you can rally enough people to win an election. The system is designed to have an easier method for regime change than bloodshed, and for good reason: after a typical revolution, the chances of ending up with something better are not high.

Brave man

Last time I took a taxi, I asked the driver, "take me to a crepe restaurant!" The driver had no clue. I'll bet a Lyft driver would do much better
