That depends on who you are: As a politician or as a company, lying is pretty bad. "Manipulation" through emotional ads is more or less expected though, it would be unprofessional to not use the same tools as everybody else. Just

systemd-nspawn isn't recommended for production use. I can't tell you why that is, but if you search for it, you'll find a few places where Lennart Poettering recommends libvirt-lxc for deployment (which is completely unrelat

Can you give an example page where it doesn't work? The comment you're referring to mentions font boosting, which is a feature that changes font sizes on the page.

Some of his deductions are flawed: In the Nike example, he confuses implication with equivalence. Also, uncertainty can be modeled with probabilistic logics ("people in France speak French with probability .95"). But most if it se
