That's how the "no true Scotsman" fallacy works, isn't it?
Not quite. The no true scotsman fallacy takes issue with the subject at hand. This would more be taking issue with the claimed expert.
No matter what counter-examples one offers, they aren't going to be the "true" whatever.
This however can actually be said without fallacy of pretty much every political system in the world. No country exists that purely implements any of the theoretical forms of political systems perfectly and in isolation, and every regime including those of the most eastern of European nations sit somewhere along a very long sliding scale between the extremes of any definition.
There are however plenty of Scottish people in the world:-)
killing them makes only more room for the offsprings.
It's not a room issue. The problem is they will reproduce to the point of starvation and starvation will only occur when the entire reef is dead. They produce 50 million eggs per season each, only a small portion of them need to survive for that to be a problem.
In peak season divers can kill about 45000 of these things each week. Even if all those were captured I doubt you'll find enough people willing to eat the things.
I can’t say that I’ve ever thought “these search results loaded too slowly”.
I just opened up Google and typed: "Are you slow Google?" The first line said "About 705.000.000 results (in about 0,45 seconds)". Yeah. There's a lot of things to complain about but speed of loading results is not one of them.
The problem is that the US is so big that no one is really represented anymore.
No. The size is not the problem here. The problem is the single source of voice is not dependent on whom *you* vote for, but rather who ponies up the money or which corporate interest alters that voice after it is elected.
And I know some people will come up with the "no true Communism" argument - but those are mostly folks who have never experienced life in a communist country, and can't really understand the realities there.
The crux of their argument would be that neither have you.
Kids these days don't know but that game, music and sound effects all fit in less than 15MB and was infinitely more fun than whatever we have now.
The past is always viewed through rose coloured glasses. I disagree that Doom 2 was more fun than for example Doom 2016, or any of the other games I have thrown countless hours into playing as of late.
A collage degree does not guarantee financial success.
The end game is always wealth. The human race was built on knowledge. We shouldn't be financially crippling our future by making the studies of humanities unaffordable.
Also it teaches you quite a few skills in life such as critical thinking (understanding the difference between a guarantee and a correlation) and also how to spell "college".
So I don't see Intel getting back into the high end processor lead any time soon.
Why are you implying they aren't in the lead? Users can chose optimised code paths at the expense of security. We do this all the time and the trade off is in terms of risk vs reward. Just like when you log into your online bank instead of walking to the branch and manually doing your banking you make the same trade-off.
Users don't need to run Spectre / Meltdown mitigations, not only from a choice point of view, but also because the risk profile is so incredibly low for the vast majority of use cases it doesn't actually make any sense for a typical user. End result: Speed.
If my workloads weren't often multi-threaded then Intel would still be the performance king, but lets face it... my next CPU will be a Ryzen.
What are you talking about. The CPU still performs exactly what they selected. The user chooses to run expensive code that mitigates security vulnerabilities that don't affect most use cases.
Personally I don't have any Spectre / Meltdown mitigations enabled. The security tradeoff isn't worthwhile. Plus if I really wanted security I would print off my packets on the printer, carry them to the computer on the other end of the internet and scan them in again. But... lag.
To me, there appears to be very little, if anything, to Intel's credit in this whole CPU disaster.
There definitely is something to Intel's credit. Their CPUs were faster and the security issues are ultimately non-issues for the vast majority of users. The only reason I won't consider Intel at the moment... AMD are currently the performance kings.
Local effects and local pollution are causing the issues, not some massively complex "climate change".
Yes one would assume that if they don't know what they are talking about. Back in reality the starfish are only partially the cause of the great barrier reef death, and the population boom of those starfish are caused by.... climate change.
Ultimately though the root cause of all of this is that the world is full of idiots such as yourself.
These aren't your friendly neighbourhood starfish. Crown-Of-Thorns are not edible. Even if they were, they are difficult to handle (being venomous like every other frigging thing in Australia)
And if they were it wouldn't solve the problem either. There are many millions of the things. They are also very hard to indiscriminately catch. You can't fish for them, you need to dive for them.
There are active efforts to kill them off en mass but even these efforts currently involve diving hitting them with a toxin injector. Nonetheless it is barely making a dent in the population.
This is what the ecologists are up to nowadays, building robots to kill wildlife?
Trying to maintain balance in the wildlife that humans have fucked up has been what ecologists have been up to since the beginning. The only difference is earlier on they were making things progressively worse not better.
The comment may have sounded intelligent but it's basis is fundamentally flawed. Plastic products made from oil are part of a larger economy of oil and not separate. Oil being made into lego is not oil that isn't being burned in a Hummer. Rather Oil is distilled and converted into various forms, part of which goes into your hummer, and the other part of which goes painfully into the bottom of your feet as you find the bathroom in the dark at 2am. Removing one of the two uses won't reduce the amount of oil being processed.... that's not right.... removing the lego use case won't change the amount of oil being processed.
It has nothing to do with timezones and everything to do with aligning when two different people do something in relation to the sun.
Abolishing timezones won't make any difference. It will only change the discussion from "Should we abolish DST" to "Should we abolish the half yearly change in standardised start / end work times".
I was scheduled to do an extended shift on a day where daylight savings changed. It took a committee to try and figure out if I would breach the contractual limits on the number of hours I was allowed to work without a break.
Why can't they just update individual apps like Notepad (to add unix line ending support) without having to update the entire OS and set back Edge as the default browser and scrap my firewall settings?
Better question: Why would they bother maintaining them separately? The primary purpose is OS patches and fixes. Changes to the tools that come with it are secondary. There's no reason to update those on their own. Technically there's no reason to update those at all.
It's not a question of Why can't they, as much as why would they bother doing what you suggest?

No FOSS is not free. It just doesn't cost money for the buyer to procure it. Economics are still very much at play even when no money changes hands.

They cry when Trump calls MS13 animals.
If you think that's what anyone cried about then you weren't paying attention to the animal speech. But then I'm not surprised since you just ....
when Trump has the same policy as Obama
went full retard.

Solution: Go to a country where education is a right for the intelligent and dedicate, not a privilege for the rich.

No I'm saying specifically that you can't fuel a Hummer with Legos and that the absence of Legos will not reduce the oil being processed to make them.

Ironically it's usually people south of the 35deg line who complain the most about DST...
