> or publish definite statements about how this theory finally "disproves" competing theories. But again, this applies in any area of science.

Which competing theory does evolution disprove?

Possibly, or possibly he's finding reasons to rebuff evolution so that the only remaining answer is intelligent design. But neither of us know that, so that's why I asked.

In their initial comment they write:

...and turn “evolution” into a religion in our quest to replace creationist accounts.

Are you suggesting that creationism is a valid theory?

Nice try - but the original question doesn't state the egg has to be a chicken-egg, just "the egg".

Socialism is redistribution of wealth by the state. This is redistribution of wealth by capitalism?

Would one way to redistribute wealth to ensure that everybody partakes in the wealth that is created? So you're always earning a stake in what you're doing.

In practice this would mean that all jobs would pay RSUs of some kind. If you rent then you are getting some of the equity of the house as well, so that when it is sold you benefit and not just the landlord.

The idea is basically that everyone should benefit from capitalism, not the just the lucky few with all the capital.

I feel sorry for whoever has to write the polyfill for this...

Running random automated scripts from the web is not a good idea

When I was a junior I was working with a bunch of other juniors and the solution was to shout, scream, and throw things.

Now I'm older and the solution is to empathise and work out any differences calmly.

Both solutions have their pros and cons. Take your pick :)

Game theory suggests why this is the case:

Oh come on this is getting ridiculous. On that page he said,

"Taxes or delays at the customs, it is not important compared to the manufacturing costs. Car manufacturers complain all the time. But there is no problem without [a] solution."

So he reckons it's all going to be unicorns and roses despite all warnings to the contrary. And you still haven't provided evidence of the much stronger allegation of EU corruption.

Googled "brexit dyson quotes":

Your approach is probably why your staff won't do this to you!

It's fine for him to campaign for his own company, as long as he's clear it's all about his self-interest in the world of vacuum cleaner regulation.

It's not ok to say that Brexit will be great for all the other companies in the UK, whilst clearly demonstrating he couldn't care less. It's immoral. That's what I'm complaining about.

> Mr Dyson's business has been systematically disadvantaged for years by corruption that seems to be endemic to the political institution that's membership is currently under debate

You're going to have provide substantial evidence of that "corruption" vs Mr Dyson not get his own way and getting all upset.

If Brexit was great for Britain, he would clearly be investing more in Britain. But he isn't. Hence the hypocrisy.

It's a reason to be upset, it's not a reason to back a brexit campaign.

So if he's basically based in Singapore, why get involved in the Brexit argument at all? Or at least if he did, why wasn't his argument, "I had to move all my manufacturing out of the UK because it's not like Singapore". Don't remember him saying that during the campaign.

Your argument proves my point. He's doing it entirely for his own selfish reasons and not for the good of the country.

The hypocrisy is based on the fact he loudly supported Brexit saying that we would be better off outside the EU because of how awesome the UK could do by itself, before moving everything to Singapore.

He clearly cares not in the least about the UK. I will never buy any of his products ever again.

It's great to be able to do this but you need to have back ups first. So find a new job whilst "jokingly" suggesting to your boss you need a raise. Then you actually ask for a meeting and a raise and when he/she laughs you off as you knew they would you resign on the spot and go to your new job you had lined up.

With the hope that he/she will see their mistake and not treat the remaining employees that way.

The problem with this strategy is you can never go back.

That's fantastic!

> because they always tend to have a giant complicated built tooling setup in place

I know people must have their own setups that they use in GitHub somewhere. I have some, but I don't do lots of web dev and they're a bit shit.

Does anyone have any "default toolchains" in GitHub that they use to start new projects? Including SASS, webpack, common polyfills, etc.?

Having another referendum now we know what the actual options for leaving are seems democratic to me. But you won't get people, including politicians, that want a no-deal brexit to agree to it.

And even though Farage himself said, "if the referendum was 52/48 to remain then in would not be the end of the matter"

I'm afraid I can't say since I suspect it would break an NDA.

> the idea that this could become a weapon against disabled people

Possibly you're taking it a bit far there, but at least in England I could see that being the case. The lengths they go to to stop people getting benefits are ridiculous.

For example, Scotland now has devolved powers for benefits, and are being much more generous: Having a baby? Here's £300. Is it your first? Here's another £300. Twins? Another £300. Then they make sure you can apply for all this online.

In England they tried not to have an online presence because, "we don't want to make it too easy for people to apply."

Under WTO trade rules you can't single out which countries you apply tariffs against. The, "no favoured nation" rule.

For the interested, that Nokia Open ID Connect plugin is here [0]. I had to hack around with it a bit to get some extra functionality and support ADFS [1].

It really really isn't. That stranger can become an instant friend with some food. There was a show once where an ex-burglar would break into people's homes to show how easy it was. People would say, "there's no way he's getting past my dog!" and the guy would just open up the fridge and throw all the meat on the floor. End of problem.

Google has the same problem. I was searching for information about Apache Chainsaw the other day, and at one point forgot to put the word "apache" in as a search term. Ended up with adverts for actual chainsaws for like a week.
