It's even easier to disprove a scientific principle: One well thought out counter example will do it. (Well thought out meaning it doesn't have some misunderstanding or poorly constructed part making it incorrect.)
One of the great fallacies the GOP and their "representatives" are foisting on us is that institutions and people are incapable of ever making a decision not affected by their personal bias. We see this whenever they don't like a decision by a body such as a judicial panel or institutions as large as the FBI. Organizations are comprised of people, and our institutions are designed to have methods (e.g. checks and balances, audits, reviews of detailed reports, etc.) to ensure that on average individual biases do not heavily sway results. While, any good professional should minimize the influence of their personal bias, the governing system is also set up to address human short comings.
Exactly. Overall traffic flow seems most efficient if traffic on main routes is bunched into "packets" of vehicles with gaps between packets large (long) enough to allow traffic from smaller routes to enter or merge onto the main route. My home town did this with updated lights and sensors about thirty years ago (!). Once on the main road you never had to be stuck at a light until all reaching the next town.
That's just silly. They interview Republicans, conservatives, even David Duke for cryin' out loud. And this morning I heard the reporter challenge a Democratic senator on a point about the GOP tax plan. There's a reason NPR was rated as more balanced than most news organizations back in 2011 or so, even leaning slightly right.
Debt actually increased more under Reagan and Bush... but in the 2009 recession some deficit spending was in order. Debt growth under Obama was 68 percent, by the way.
I say, if you're working for the man then you don't write the rules. Start your service or other company. It's not that hard... People with high-school educations start successful lawn care businesses with many employees.
It's also extremely short sighted. We need our country and communities to be decent places to live and work, and it can be positive all around for a company that invests in its people and community.
In the 1990s big companies (and small?) had training programs, in-house training departments, and even training goals for employees. It's not like this is news. People used to apprentice under masters or journeymen in the trades. Somehow with all the offshoring companies seem to have totally forgotten, in the space of 10 or 20 years, that investing in employees is a good thing. I've heard several interviews with managers at medium sized companies that said, to effect, "Gosh, we might have to actually train our own employees."
It's so easy to criticize without offering a solution... Beyond the brushed aluminum, what is the proposed alternative that would provide an intuitive and efficient to use interface? (Though I completely agree that image of a patch-cable setup in the linked article is ridiculous.)
Well, this line from the manifesto is pretty dumb: "Unfortunately, as long as tech and leadership remain high status, lucrative careers, men may disproportionately want to be in them." The guy seems very inexperienced. Apparently he's never seen highly aggressive women (at all?) in many other corporate roles? There are all sorts of examples of men that fall on both ends of whatever spectrum you want, as well (e.g. introverted engineer vs. extroverted sales manager).
He should have stuck to arguing about specific policies. He's in over his head with any of his other opinions.
There are large hardware development systems, like Cadence, that are guaranteed/supported only on RHEL, which CentOS is essentially equivalent to. It works fine for that purpose, and often is run on shared servers, as well as desktops.
Sorry, ensuring business critical data is correctly backed up is obviously critical. No excuses pass muster here, as it's a well known disaster waiting to happen from any number of causes.

Yes. Humans are fallible. Hence, Science.

Then there should be more districts because there are more people in urban centers.

Those are political decisions for the most part.
I'm not sure where the representatives of We The People have gone. Anyone seen any around D.C. lately?

The gov't has not changed the definitions. All the detail is available from the BLS. Go look: https://www.bls.gov/news.relea...
Why do idiots run the world?

He's referring to U-3. And based on that he is correct. Perhaps you don't understand unemployment rates.

We used to say, "A people hire A people, and B people hire C people."
Its basic logic.

At least the politicians in the U.S. are part of the U.S... Foreign interference is quite different.
Bus tickets are still pretty cheap...
Or at 2am Sunday...
Wrong conclusion. Rather, avoid startups staffed with inexperienced people.
Exactly. Backups are business critical.

"The Staff" or "staff level" certainly does refer to the C level in many tech companies.
