Umm... the DSM-V has psychopath and narcissist. Those are two distinct categories of personality. So which one is more parsimonious: there are two discrete personality types (narcissist and psychopath) and everyone else is ill-defined, or e

Oh. If I didn't know any better I would suspect Stephen Wolfram made a blogpost for shamelessly advertising the data science capabilities of Mathematica for the purpose of selling it to data scientists.

He should double-check his contract to see if there's an "anything you do either inside or outside of Wolfram Inc. is automatically our property" clause. Stephen Wolfram knows about this. He just hasn't taken action yet.

For people taking notes: this would be a great time to start a new social network. Because nobody wants to join a network that is figuratively a grave yard. It also is proof that facebook has a finite life expectancy.
