It is really annoying me that biology papers so rarely use SD as opposed to SEM. As a researcher I know the pain involved in making your hard fought data look any less significant, but please include some SD values because otherwise we have

You are talking past his point, perhaps willfully... They are saying that in hard science it is often useful to start with a null hypothesis, and report anything that diverges from that as potentially significant (assuming statistical sig

This is fascinating. May I ask how you came across it?

"Tips and leads" huh. So basically I am imagining a secretive "IC" office somewhere that sends an intern with whatever illegally collected intelligence they have to another unmarked room. The intern then passes the docum

It would go to the SC, and since they have precedent with the Medicaid expansion, this would be likely to go in the states' favour.

For the vast majority of people and issues, the media is the primary source the populace can rely upon to gain information about an issue. Obstructing, impeding, suppressing or in any other way hindering the access of the press is tantamoun

It's the difference in mindset between having a discussion versus an argument. In one case you are more likely to work for a mutually beneficial outcome, in the other it's a zero sum game where distorting your opponent's view

Considering the scale of funding the NSA and other government agencies enjoy, I think that any focus on "cyber warfare" is going to lead to a "weakening of systems". But this is inevitable when you give state actors a mo

He does seem to have a habit of only engaging when he can nitpick or twist the argument, which is the definition of bad faith.

This exchange is pretty hilarious...

From your tone it sounds like you think such a vulnerability is so obvious that it shouldn't even be mentioned as such. Regardless of how defenseless any device is to an attacker with physical access, the point of Schneier's artic

Do you object to the very capability to exploit such commercial technologies? Or do you object to the NSA's exploitation of such capabilities?

I don't think he was speaking in Sanskrit. Let's rephrase: he thinks spying targeting the general population is intolerable.

As long as the programs are 1) targeted against actual threats and 2) controlled by judicial oversight, I don't think there is a problem. The reason people are reporting on it is probably because there is currently little to no reason

I'd imagine limited funds were the reason. Plus, like I said, your results from a trial on patients with the virus on heavy courses of anti-retrovirals would be muddied. You wouldn't know if the antiviral or the vaccine was what w

I'll try and address this since no one has answered yet. One of the reasons it would be very hard to justify testing this first as a cure is because AIDS patients are by definition immunodeficient. Their Helper T cells (the CD4s mentio

It's not hurting them insofar as they can sell this kind of useless (in terms of catching terrorists) data collection to bureaucrats who will sign off on it. I would argue that it is compromising their ability to sift the wheat from th

Well, you seem determined to avoid actually addressing what I am saying. The Constitution harshly proscribes dishonest statements by officials to lawmakers. The surveillance policy was sold through lies and obfuscation to both Congresspeopl

I brought up the Constitution because it is a direct counter to your assumption that policies are justified as long as they are shown "at least at some remove, to benefit US citizens". It is definitely more complicated than that,

From a constitutional standpoint, that is irrelevant. In a benevolent dictatorship that would be justification enough for any policy,no matter how restrictive or oppressive. If that is in fact the sole assumption you base your views on, the

The implicit assumption in your question here is that the government is entitled to do whatever it wants except when people can organise to the extent that a formal censure, through voting or other means, can be devised. A state subject to

I'm sure we could agree on how the system is fucked, but where is the alternative? Fact is, people in this thread who are railing against academics holding patents don't seem to get how the system is built in the first place. If t

Come on you can't compare web development to drug development. Ditto with the guy talking about polio. With the current regulatory landscape we need patent protection to incentivize anyone entering this industry. And even then you have
