I literally did.

You may be too retarded and emotional ("who the fuck are 'they'?", "like a fucking sheep", "biggest non-scientific bullshit I've heard in my life", etc.). If you're dying to prove to the internet that I'm wrong, go for it. Get your data, do your math, and show the internet.

Best of luck.

My initial observation stands. In fact, your asking irrelevant questions and demanding proof for math only strengthens the validity of that observation.

It really is how it works more often than not. Look at the reproducibility crisis for example.

The earth hasn't been around long enough (more specifically the beginning of single celled life on earth -- something like 3.4 billion years ago) for evolution to actually work the way they say it does (or has been observed in DNA differences like between humans and chimps -- and that's only a 2% difference). Some biologists/evolutionists recognize this problem, but like Science always does, they're being laughed at. Which is fine, cause they're just making it up too.

Come on. Anyone with a basic understanding of the topic would know that I'm referring to the rate of fixation.

Evolution is fake and literally impossible. It can't hold up to basic math (fixed mutation rate vs time). Your using its banning as the bar for "something fucking majorly gone wrong in the schooling system" just demonstrates how inverted and screwed up the western school system really is.

Mission accomplished. Stallman will forever be a pedo or at best linked to pedos. After all... he RESIGNED.

Make them fire you. Never give in to this evil. But what does Stallman know of evil anyway?

Hahaha... this is good. And so true. Kernel building and reading slashdot always seemed to happen together. And then you get into some flame war trying to prove who was smarter or could google faster (the penis size showdown for youth geeks -- and still happening I see) only to realize your build has been done for an hour, but you forgot to turn on "new feature x" or it crapped on modules on something. Hour "wasted".

Wow... I just heard. I have so many fond memories from back when Rob was a fixture here. I would obsessively refresh my browser for the next story... some of which were posted by Rob. He was not as prolific a poster as others back in the day, but I do remember his being more apropos to the goings on at the time (unlike say Jon Katz... whom I think he interviewed once). God speed Roblimo. As you make your way through the unknown... may your grits always be hot, your Natalies always be Portman, your overlords always be robotic, and your clusters always be Beowulf.

You've clearly never used some horrible thing like ServiceNow or a poorly implemented deployment of RT.

Regardless, I thought URL shorteners were only useful for making things fit better in IRC/Slack/etc. and for Rickrolling unsuspecting youth (us old geeks tend not to fall for it anymore).

I've been away from /. for so long, I don't even know how to register a "vote" for your post. Your comment is very good.

Very good.

Sounds about right for Scotland. Our numbers might actually be slightly worse. I am pretty sure we have the worst ratio in the OECD.

Fuck.

Just when things were starting to look up.

So here in Scotland we are about to have a historic opportunity to strike out on our own and redefine our constitution.

The Scottish Government posted a draft constitution last week for public consultation. I wondered if you might have any advice of what sort of thing needs to be in there?

My personal feeling is that the Declaration of Arbroath did not go far enough. We need to define, explicitly, what powers, we the people, reserve to ourselves and exactly when and under what circumstances we can revoke the power of the various arms of government.

I really like much of the attitude to contracts in the GPL and have also toyed with the idea of unalterable articles. I feel like there are certain principles that we need to make clear are not negotiable.

How, at a constitutional level, can we get the money out of politics and regain control of those we elect?

If the 45% replaced by automation are put out of work then your economy gets 45% smaller.

Take a guess at what that does to the incomes of the 1%.

Sheesh.
