Ban Genetic Algorithms!!!

During the last G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh (USA), some guys from Carnegie Mellon University thought it would be a nice chance to show the whole world how they are concerned about current geopolitical, environmental, and economical problems.

They are not only willing to ban mundane and grievous methods from the evolutionary computation outer space such as genetic algorithms, but they also want to support vector machines, free variables, and start a brigade against Bayesian discrimination! No duality gaps! No greedy search! No power laws! And all the hails for a world in which anyone will freely do a safer data minning!
