Comment Teenage gangs and gateway crime? (Score 3, Insightful) 56

Was there any example of a gang even mentioned? No. Crime? It is as much crime as crawling over a fence to get some apples. No need to overblow it out of proportions. What needs to be done instead - proper, basic security measures. Main one - proper password handling by teachers, who shoud be at least at basic IT level. Secondly proper IT staff and software, not something that can be hacked with a screwdriver or Notepad. Children will play, just like pups will dig and bite until they grow up and understand. If you leave your systems blatantly insecure, it is your fault, not childrens.

They don't believe in AI. They believe in hyped tool to hide corruption behind it. That is a deliberate action, that will secure another term and a steady stream of money. Simple as that. Dictators and wannabies have been doing this for ages with new and shiny nobodycanverify tools, miracles of their time.

Comment Correlation is not causation (Score 1) 60

That is something a first year student and any journalist should know. Adding to that - survey, with how many participants? Sounds like just some minutes more sitting causes drammatic increase of hemorrhoids risk, sounds not plausible to me, especially when no info on how much other type sitting the people do. This article about shitting is shit itself.

What do you think would happen with him after sucha stunt? If people get arrested there for being out in the street with an empty paper sheet, or sent to Gulag, kids taken for wrong kindergarden drawing, what would happen to him for openly criticizing the regime?

Comment Re:"China"? Try Biwin (Score 1) 44

That is not pretending. If a chinese company does not adhere to communist party wishes, it does not exist. Why do you think anyone and his grandmother can just copy and massproduce any product there and do it in a month or less? Cause that'ts the whole countries strategy. Not a coincidence.

Comment Not astronomers cannot agree (Score 3, Insightful) 37

It is not that there is one group of astronomers insisting on one thing and other group on something different. It is not politics where opinions, not facts matter. Nothing here requires agreement of astronomers. Theories do not match, one or both are missing something. And that is great, we have a place to poke and inquire into. Sooner or later someone will find a way to explain and measure in better ways.
