"We don't say things like "top tip" outside of /r/unitedkingdom. Actually we don't say it anywhere." - Robin Green

"I can't decide if this is satire." - Robin Green

"Two stonking great problems with your idea. 1. Free riders. This is such a huge problem that I need go no further. However I will. 2. People's ability and proclivities to participate in such touchy-feely projects, as opposed to say focusing on feeding themselves and their families and keeping a roof over their heads, varies with the economic cycle. Right now is not a good time." - Robin Green

"Yeah, exactly, don't we all know people who have never written a line of code but have at one time or another expressed some interest in programming?" - Robin Green

"Learn to be a developer in 5 minutes! That sure would be an ~~interesting~~ deceptive video." - Robin Green

"Um, waterfall is not a cycle. Waterfall is not iterative. Waterfall is the stupidest possible model of software development: everything is going to work first time and you never go backwards." - Robin Green

"I thought it was meant to be funny." - Robin Green

"Wait a minute. What exactly have SRS done that's so wrong again?" - Robin Green

"Diddums." - Robin Green

"There's a lot more where that came from! Some of his allusions are really obscure." - Robin Green

"Is this written down somewhere, because I've never heard of such exclusions?" - Robin Green

"> It may be better idea for the state to cover half of min wage for unemployed for 6 months. That's the new scheme being introduced by this government. The state pays part of the wages, the employer pays the rest. That's not the subject of this article though, which is about the existing unpaid work scheme." - Robin Green

"Legally, these aren't workers. They're on "work experience placements", like 15 year old school kids or something, except they're adults." - Robin Green

"It is unpaid, both literally and in the rules. The rules say it must be unpaid and you must not get any penalty for leaving it. Unfortunately some claimants are being misled about this." - Robin Green

"> So because you've done a degree and are in the same boat as many other people who haven't, you shouldn't have to take any old job that comes along because it's beneath you? As I understand it, if you have a PhD the dole office won't require you to immediately take any old job that comes along. Likewise if you've worked in a certain industry all your life." - Robin Green

"Sounds sketchy to me." - Robin Green

"Sovereign governments spend money into circulation, and when they tax, they remove money from circulation. Paying down the debt means budget surpluses. Budget surpluses mean taxes exceed spending; thus, the net effect is, money is sucked out of the economy." - Robin Green

"It wasn't caffeine addiction, that's for sure. I didn't drink anything containing caffeine back then. I was vegan though. And I didn't prepare for the fast in any way." - Robin Green

"So, what's SEO SEM?" - Robin Green

"Good list, but some of these are dead projects, and gittorrent doesn't exist." - Robin Green

"I tried a 24 hour water fast once and I woke up the next day with excruciating pins and needles all over my body. My friends told me I was stupid." - Robin Green

""Are"? "Are"? Was this story written ten years ago? Or are ad-buying agencies really that slow-moving?" - Robin Green

"Yes, and a good thing too, because it's a dumb idea. Sucking all that money out of the economy? Out of circulation? Do you _really_ think that's a good idea? _Really_?" - Robin Green

"Nope. That's a title for a High Court judge. In the US, similarly, a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court may be referred to as "Mr. Chief Justice"." - Robin Green

"What's SEO SEM? Spamming for spammers?" - Robin Green

"However, one of the nice things about Coq as compared to Isabelle/HOL is it lets you express data structure invariants and write programs that use dependent types (using the Program commands, and the experimental Equations extension). And not the mere dependent method types that Scala gives you, either. [Full-blown dependent types](http://reddit.com/r...)." - Robin Green

"Top comment: > I assume the writers of this rubbish have some agenda. > Is it a dislike of people who go to public school? Does it fulfill a deeper need to discredit people for the sake of it? Perhaps it provides them with a sense of importance? > On reflection, I think they probably thought they were becoming journalists." - Robin Green

"Most economists are ideologues, not professionals." - Robin Green

"> It isn't really efficient to hand money back and forth between state departments. But what kind of percentages are we talking about here? I wouldn't have thought it's a high priority issue." - Robin Green

"What do you mean by "exit a file"?" - Robin Green
