"News" and large facets of "journalism" have now, unfortunately, become nothing more than propoganda platforms filled with opinionated narratives to paint stories. Even when they're not, they often use selection bia

Academics can subsidize some research costs through tuition and splitting work researchers do to teaching. It's a business model that has been working well because of ever increasing demand for people to get at least a bachealors degre

I'm not sure it's so obvious that it does it well. The thing about the tech industry is there's a lot of cargo cult and leader/follower mentality. There are plenty of shops that use git just because every other shop uses

I've actually had this happen, so I pretty much wrote a white paper (charging company time and delegating time from dedicated efforts by way of the name of the person who requested it). I sent it, then continually followed up on the st

Not sure about a fallacy but he's essentially saying: because it can't be the best option, the worst is acceptable. It's as if there aren't options in between and this isn't just optimization and greed run amuck aga

That's sort of the point though, isn't it? We're at a point where large capital holders pretend they want competitive forces to keep them in check, yet employ anti-competitive practices and cry regulatory overreach at every o

Keep in mind, a system of rules is just a system of rules. It takes someone to come along and knowingly look for "ah ha, gotcha" loopholes in a system to exploit for their own advantage. It's completely possible to look at a

77 TB of compressed publications. That's pretty crazy to think about, even if you consider overhead and multimedia assets like images often included in PDFs. I remember the old "the library of congress fits on this CDROM" a

I don't think they're mutually exclusive they just apply at different times because we have inconsistent standards. Being white gives you a lot of advantages, but I'd say on occasion (affirmative action, diversity based decis

I wouldn't just say possible, I'd say it's highly likely. We have a lot of diseases, infections, and illnesses that most likely have long term side effects but they're also likely small and poorly observed. I've had

Where is the proven evidence of this? I find this very difficult to believe, otherwise.

If there are natural resources that can be extracted, taxed, and create jobs in those counties and WV already supports the avenue of fracking, I'm not entirely sure Manchin would immediately shut down the idea. I'm sure WV would r

It's probably the reverse direction of what you're thinking, it's not that events of western Maryland would be covered by neighboring cities, more that western Marylanders would be more likely to subscribe to Pittsburgh media

Not if simplifying taxes was as easy as paying Intuit the $89/yr toll to not deal with taxes. Intuit just wants money, they really don't care about taxes or complexity of the tax system. The only reason they care about complex tax

Target employees 410k people according to Wikipedia. A sample size of 384 could represent a larger 500k population with 95% confidence and a 5% margin of error. I don't think the sample size is all that bad in the realm of surveys. How

You know you don't have to go all the way to communism to fix the problems we're seeing. You simply need to take a step back from extreme capitalism were currently experiencing with a little bit of revamping. It worked fairly well

For programmer or engineer though, it's now a gamble to invest heavily and be that expert in a single technology. In medicine, expert/specialists have large population pools and simply accident or genetic defect rates they can rel

An educated and critically thinking populace who can question and analyze information independently and don't always require authoritive sources, that's how you combat this. People need to be able to identify and defend against th

This is a highly overlooked point. In these massive developer organizations, you're able to focus more and more on the core of your profession and have to deal less and less with catchall technical tasks. The scope of work is very diff

I don't think it's just analogous, I think it's directly related. Taylorism imposed on society by the most greedy amongst us is, in my opinion, the cause of this as they've become (or perhaps, always were) the axiomatic

This is really a poor software solution to an old hardware solution that disappeared for the sake of thinness: removable batteries. In the past with easily removable battery packs you could simply pop them out once they're fully charge
