our careers would basically have to restart

Why would your careers need to restart? I took an 18 month sabbatical and went right back in to work.

Non voters cannot be counted as objectors or supporters.

We don't have to count them as anything.

72% is actually a huge turnout compared to pretty much any vote in the last 50 years

That doesn't contradict anything I said.

As such they must be assumed to divide as the vote was.

This is a non sequitur.

Regardless, OP was talking about votes explicitly.

your repeated assertion that it is poorly engineered simply because it doesn't use a particular distros packaging system

I have asserted no such thing.

To me it's irrelevant

I think that's the crux of the issue. You've conflated your interests and the author's purposes.

What you've described is not an algorithm.

You didn't answer my question.

The article is about the couple being fined for finding the stowaway after they left the port, the gender, age and reason the stowaway came to the UK is irrelevant to that.

Why do you believe the gender and age were included in the article?

they could have left it out and it wouldn't have changed anything

LOL, it would have changed the article.

Why is it relevant to the article about where he came from?

Because that's not the focus of the article

They went to the trouble of explaining the age of the boy and where he was from and by your logic those bits of information aren't the focus of the article either.

You're just guessing, you don't know. We can all make guesses.

the current crisis

What are you referring to?

Not the EU.

Bizarre that the article doesn't address the reasons why the boy wanted to come to the UK. As per usual.

a margin of error

What do you mean?

You know what they meant

Yes and I responded appropriately.

it's closer to a serious article than a blogpost

I find it bizarre and plain wrong to imply that blog posts can't be serious articles.

both of which have a major flaw

What major flaw do you believe ActivityPub has?

looks better

What do you mean?

than ActivityPub

ActivityPub is decentralised. AT has a centralised index. They're not comparable.

Half the country voted to remain.

Firstly, not everyone in the country votes. The turnout for the EU referendum was only 72.2%.

Secondly, of the non-spoiled ballots, only 48.1% were in favour of remaining. Which is not only much less than half the country but a good 1.9% away from the minimum 50% required for your statement not to be bollocks.

Labour are dedicated to the democratic vote
