It really, really isn't a change in policy, and that's why there's no need for examples that were "previously allowed" but now aren't. This is a distillation and synthesis of existing policies in place at hundr

The point is not to satisfy the empty criticism of "this is invalid because I can't think of an situation where it would apply." It is an elementary example of how the scientific community polices itself and prunes its method

Oh yes, I was using this for a while to read an old serial, it's really great but I found I simply don't like reading on my phone, even small bits at a time. If they could pop a new chapter into my e-reader every once in a while t

I question the premise that we are overcautious. Media has only increased in intensity and violence and the breadth of suffering it depicts. That's not a bad thing in itself, but people are perfectly right to want to know when media ex

I don't think this is correct. The FCC announcement notes that $5B of the original RDOF auction has been authorized already. It gave out $23M today in a separate announcement.

That's interesting, I hadn't seen this version of "perilous" before but I like it.

I've also tracked a lot of words I have needed to look up, but made little posts out of the interesting ones. Of course, I immediately forget all these definitions, but that just makes it fun to go back through them. https:/&#x2F

I suppose you feel this way about net neutrality as well, since it was established and then reverted as a partisan issue, also part of the so-called "culture wars"? Don't forget, they make everything part of the culture war s

It's 100% real and 100% serious. That's why it is so well known in the design world. I wonder if your comment exemplifies some corollary to Poe's Law - that someone mistaking real for parody or vice versa will confidently ass

Yikes. I'd recommend talking with and listening to some real people, especially women, to get a sense of how out of touch the views you espouse here are. Calling widespread outrage over bodily autonomy a temper tantrum and the conseque

How fun. I also found this when I was looking to learn a bit about how to operate a slide rule a friend gave me: http://www.sliderule.ozmanor.com/srmanl.html They're really interesting items and of course can be gotten

Gender and sexuality have been fluid for as long as we've recorded them. It's in all the primary sources. Trans people (and gay people, and bi, and asexual..) exist and have always existed - it's only now that modern medicine

Between this and the payments stuff it was probably decided the gravy train has jumped the tracks. Time to pull the ripcord on the ol' golden parachute.

Suddenly everyone is an expert on the logistics of running an empire! Is it so hard to believe that women were in positions of real power there, especially when men were overwhelmingly occupied with warfare? If you read the article you find

Good lord. Withheld? They've published their research, they just aren't making the model available immediately, waiting until they can re-implement it so that you don't get racial slurs popping up when you ask for a cup of &q

Quite right on optogenetics, that's the other way round. I should have been specific but I didn't mean what scientists think is useful but what the general public thinks will change how we understand the brain, andrhe most popular

Fascinating study, and it's telling that it was done using more traditional fluorescence techniques instead of the newfangled microelectrode arrays supposedly due to revolutionize the field. (not optogenetics as replier points out, tha

Love these. They remind me of the physical signs for beer or food that would have a single animating element coming from a spinning light or shutter inside — a waterfall is easy but also ripples in a pool, light sparkling on a glass etc.

Try turning that thought around and you may see why it makes more sense to discontinue. If Apple can get someone to spend an extra $100 on a base-level iPhone instead of an iPod Touch, the margins aren't as good but the product pipelin

Extremely strange to see this writeup with no mention at all of Droneseed, which has been doing this successfully for a few years now, engineered seed pods and all. I've written them up twice, if you're curious or skeptical about

Very useful extension, I use it frequently. Lot of tangential commentary here but this is helpful and complementary to other tools like Scihub and Google Scholar.

I think you'll find that as soon as researchers began looking into the harmful effects of smoking, the link to cancer quickly became the scientific consensus. It did not become the popular consensus for decades because of the indefatig

Glad you did this. I started working on something myself in January as I was dabbling in it but the whole scene was evolving so fast I was like, by the time I write it the piece will seem like a time capsule. The survey/history style i

I did something like this putting Linux Mint on a 2012 Macbook Air. My only requirements were that it run Simplenote and Firefox... everything beyond that was superfluous. So I could take it and try to focus on writing, though of course 90%

I liked The Mystery of the Yellow Room better than Carr's when I was going through a locked-door phase. It's written well and unlike many of the others, the solution is pretty logical. And it has the best "when you've el
