I am sure you are wrong about it not being the dislike button but it could be something else. Obviously though, this means there is no longer any open source fraud control anymore, of course this would happen!

Re:Physics as a Way of Thinking (1936) [pdf] on Tuesday June 26, 2018 @07:28AM (#17399619)
It seems to me this article uses Physics to justify the view that courts should "abstract new laws" as they deem necessary.

This is wholly undemocratic and while it claims to solve one problem (that of legal frameworks growing obsolete) it swaps democracy for 'laws by committee' or 'expert rule'. As a computer scientist I'd call this unscientific or at least a sloppy proposal.

Appealing to emotion throughout and not tackling any of the questions that the memo raised, I am left feeling disappointed.
Re:Happy nations don't focus on growth on Saturday May 13, 2017 @07:39PM (#14333528)
The nations mentioned are some of the most advanced in the world, and their lower-than-world-average GDP growth is being used to show that "it's not all about wealth". I don't think this article makes a very good point.
