I like how this article's title doesn't claim that it's about utils "that you don't know". Yet I was expecting utils that have something to do with the Linux kernel, not generic *nix command-line tools.
I doubt that a person who can post about it on the internet did actually lose everything. Most likely he leads quite a luxurious life: he is a wealthy (compared to other parts of the world) American, most likely wrote his story from his MacBook and has a place to live. A lot of people can only dream about a life like his. His expectations is what makes him believe that he "lost everything".
P.S. Clicked on the link after writing this post. Yeah, the guy actually wrote it from his MacBook.

It isn't just on feasibility grounds, it is on the grounds that they showed nothing but a powerpoint and other questionable things they said. Feasibility is just icing on top.
> Human judges give ugly people twice the sentences of attractive people. Judges have been shown to give significantly harsher sentences just before lunch, when they are hungry.
It would be nice if you could provide sources for these claims.
There's a study on attractiveness and juror bias here (it's more complicated than just "ugly people get worse sentences" but some bias does show up for certain juror personality types):
