Are these novels any good?

The title is clearly a reference to The Unincorporated Man [0], a sci-fi novel set in a future where everyone is incorporated at birth and exchanges their shares for goods and services, generally losing majority in themselves in order to g

All subjects would have the potential consequences explained to them so they could make an informed decision about whether to take part. Informed consent is a very important ethical principle in human-subject experiments.

Private Baldrick: No, the thing is: The way I see it, these days there's a war on, right? and, ages ago, there wasn't a war on, right? So, there must have been a moment when there not being a war on went away, right? and there be

Why not grow at the rate you can sustain? Rather than taking on 150 schools, grow by as many schools as you can afford with the profits from the initial set.

I also think this would be nice - allowing in-place data editing and copy/paste would be great. It lowers the barrier to trying out the product, which will ultimately engage more people. I actually browsed away from the plot page when

I think this is a cool idea, and the blog post made sense. This is a really nice way of making visualisations reusable. Judging by how others have missed the point though, you might want to work on simplifying the pitch. How about starting

You've completely missed the point. The site is for developers who make visualisations to be able to allow users to use the visualisations with their own data. It requires you to first create the vis code, then use the Blockspring API

I started out with the Zotero translators, but they are really messy and not standardised. Our ultimate goal is to make it trivial for non-programmers to define and maintain journal scrapers. That was going to be extremely hard with the Zot

Jure, your projects never cease to impress me. Really looking forward to talking in depth at OKfest. This idea is so close to what we've been doing that it's a real shame we didn't talk earlier, but the parts of what you&#x27

Actually PLOS, eLife and PeerJ are all Open Access publishers and explicitly condone this kind of scraping of their sites. They want to promote reuse. ScienceDirect is owned by Elsevier and is a different kettle of fish. One we all hope to

In molecular biology 'model' usually refers to a model biological system - an organism or experimental setup that can exhibit the phenomenon under study but is easier to manipulate genetically than the ultimate system of study. In

Mostly insightful, but this bit: Those who criticize the behavior of "greedy Wall Street bankers" underestimate their tendency to do the same thing if offered an eight-figure salary. You have to be greedy to go into Wall Street

The rest of the article was just an unrelated rant about the outdated real names thing on G+.

Medkits go at least as far back as Wolfenstein (1981).

The domains you've listed are all common words, so claiming exclusive use of them would not be reasonable. HealthKit is not a common word, so it seems more reasonable for an entity to expect exclusive use of it as a trademark.

Your post isn't self-consistent. First you say that democracy means we have nothing to fear from police with drones, then you imply it's pointless to resist because the democratic methods don't work.

Beautiful, and I'll use it for my first book. But I have to call out the claim: > I think Pollen just won the Hello World Tournament. That tournament was won permanently by the M4 language in 1977. http://en.wikipedia.o

Why do you all have your own datasets of historical chess moves? Is this a popular playground for data analysis, or is it something chess learners study?

You could see that as an upside - Markdown is designed to be human-readable and is pretty successful in that design goal. So a NoScript user will see a rather nice plaintext.

Did you use audio cards? My Japanese listening is pretty good as a result of learning all my vocab through anki with separate image, kanji and audio cards.

It makes much more sense to share the decks through the built-in deck sharing system where they are accessible on http://ankiweb.net or in the desktop/mobile app.

For most scientists there isn't another system, and certainly when the system was established nobody was envisaging a time when publishers would make hundreds of % markup on every access of a paper. The prices reflect print publishing

Would also be nice to see size of the corpus controlled for. What's the rate at which they use new words?
