The problem is, what happens when most of the crowd at Slashdot is comprised of AI blog bots?
You say that like it hasn't already happened. Many of the blog bots just happen to be organic in nature at the moment but most could be replaced by a short shell script.
"He's revealing how we acquire this information. It will take years, if not decades, for us to return to the position that we had prior to his disclosures."
Hopefully the revelations about what they have been up to will be enough to prevent them from ever being able to "eturn to the position that we had prior to his disclosures".
I really don't think his intention was to discredit amateur science by linking to the search results of "proof that amateur science sucks."
Well, it's sort of complicated.
On one hand—it's probably worth pointing out that the American punitive system is absolutely insane, and the mildness of this should not be taken as evidence of a defective process simply because it doesn't follow suit. Indeed, there are some fairly involved legal and philosophical reasons as to why the punishments aren't more extreme. Here is a paper on it. (I haven't read all of it, but it seems sensible enough from the first few pages.) One of the key points is that a lot of money goes down the toilet on dead ends and genuine errors anyway; another is that scientific misconduct isn't actually illegal, so the power of funding bodies to defend themselves is somewhat limited. In the end, the top priority is still getting them out of science.
Not if the different threads are clocked from different PLLs.

Some of us grew up on Sun BSD you insensitive clod.
sysv init scripts are a new fangled mess.
Specifically we needed an undecorated one of decent fabric and about the right size, because getting the fabric involved driving to the other side of town and we would have had to buy more than we needed. It was to be lined with custom ornate tatting, only possible/financially feasible because a family member is an expert in tatting. If she started then she'd be done by the time the baby finished gestating, which is how it turned out.
Maybe you're so bitter because no one made a museum quality tatted handkerchief for you when you were born.
The one day you'd sell your soul for something, souls are a glut.
