   If you don't lie enough, if you are not sycophantic enough, then no promotion or worst, purged. I can easily see how such a hierarchy would reproduce ... until it fails so bad it can't.

   Pretty much boils down to lying. Since we've been kids we've been taught, hopefully, that lying is bad. Society though normalize it : - advertisement is pretty much always wrong (to the point of having laws in Japan about food pac

   Sure it's still a big deal but it's not as if suddenly everybody get a quantum computer and can use it nilly-willy. It will be (or is) scarce enough that information has to be selected as critical in order to be deciphered a poste

    Indeed, Debian stable with podman/Docker is "immutable enough" for me. It is also the insurance that I will get help whenever I'm stuck. Sure it could be smaller ... but when it already runs fine on any hardware, even we

    1/14 isn't a bad ratio... except when we are talking of children, any of those numbers is terrible. But in this specific context it's even crazier. It's one think to break contact with a parent but I think it's hard
