because a successful assault on settled science is a career-making achievement.
This is the part conspiracy theorists never grasp. There isn't any benefit to scientists for promoting a massive global conspiracy, but the benefits from puncturing such a conspiracy would be enormous.
Every adjunct professor in the world is waiting for an opportunity like this.
The underlying problem is that too many programmers are willing to copy and paste code rather than think through what they need to code.
The underlying problem is that we're asked to reinvent tiny wheels all day long, solving trivial problems that have been solved before by people more interested in the specific problem.
We shouldn't be asking why people are copying bad code, we should be asking why they need to.
You're right about one thing: the rest of the country does prefer the friendly simpleton, or even the crude simpleton, to the "smart man/woman". I certainly do, and without apologies.
Is there any reply you could give to the question "why would you do that" that wouldn't make you sound kind of gay for Trump?
Our heads asploded when half of the country stood up and said they'd prefer the friendly simpleton over the dull smart man. To lead them. You're waiting for some colossal rage event at the election of a troll, but this is exactly what we expected from you.
But if you're trying to claim that poor people commit crimes only because they are poor, well, that's pretty bigoted to start with. It ignores the vast majority of poor people who are still ethical and honest people. So yes, your "moral fiber" comment does apply.
On the other hand, you seem to be suggesting that criminals would commit the same crimes regardless of their economic status. Does that really make sense to you?
Give me something small profile that's quick to load and easy on the bandwidth.
Worse performance at triple the development time, relying on poorly-maintained libraries and poorly-documented frameworks. The process is so agile and liberating that every project has the potential to look completely different under the hood depending on the whims of the lead dev and whatever the MVC flavor of the month might be.
It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: -- "We invaded you last night--we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away."
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld
And then you'll get rid of the Dane!
It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: -- "Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away."
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again, That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray; So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: --
"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost; For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!"
Are you kidding? This is strictly female misogynists vs male misogynists. It's great!
The only downside is the inevitable collateral damage when some well-meaning person fails to recognize that they're about to hug a genuine tar baby and picks a side.
I don't know, lots of people seem to be pretty comfortable letting Rupert Murdoch do the heavy thinking for them.
I think this whole thing is kind of silly, but I can also see Google absolutely not wanting to deal with the kind of people who would discuss the political ramifications of a file extension.
Engineers can't actually understand things they don't, hence they are 'one trick ponies'. That 'one trick' being 'solve all the problems we don't understand'.
Their one trick is to approach every problem like an engineer would. Which is great if you're facing an engineering problem and horrendous if you've misidentified the issue.

I hope you see how, by wrapping a science/health issue in the "states rights" flag, they've walked you around to supporting foolishness.
There really isn't even an operable definition of "porn" for situations like this.

You know that, thanks to the magic of history, we can cast our gaze back and see if people were actually wise or foolish, right?

tl;dr "idiot does something idiotic" isn't news
From everything I've read, the most innocent possibility is that the Trump server has been infected by some idiot IT guy working at the Russian bank.
Trump's server shutting down directly after the Times contacts Alfa seems like a real "oh shit unplug everything" move.
but that does not mean anyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Exactly the level of discourse I was expecting.

If you think that we should stop imprisoning people because we can just give them $10,000 a year not to commit crimes, well ...
It's kind of weird how it's mostly poor people committing crimes. Probably something to do with moral fiber and bootstraps.
Taxes are meaningless with fiat currencies
How do you feel about fluoride?

Oh yeah I totally remember this precedent being set in Titian V. Three Fat Chicks.

Well in the US it's at least possible to assume a perfectly spherical consumer.
Which would be great if there were unlimited enrollment in class. Which there isn't.

BS in anthro, BS in comp sci, minor in art.
I try not to have opinions on subjects I don't know anything about, CanadianMacFan. It's not a bad way to live.
My experience is from science and engineering so I don't know what the arts was like.
Generally speaking, way more difficult and time-consuming than either science or the humanities, but with greatly increased dating opportunities.
Stories like this attract all kinds of axe grinders. You're lucky his reply was even tangentially related to your post.
