   I think the desire to avoid having one's family brutally murdered was also a powerful motive not to rebel.

   This is false. The introduction to the section on climate change in The Skeptical Environmentalist (published in 2001) states "This chapter accepts the reality of man-made global warming" (p259).

   Lomborg has openly stated multiple times that he believes in anthropogenic climate change. How is he a "climate denier"? This post looks like a cut-and-paste from a political blog.

   At the time Eich made his financial contribution to the Yes on Proposition 8 campaign, there was no legal right for gay people to marry in California, so saying that he "stripped his coworkers of their legal rights" is a gross exa

    This reminds me of the people who swear that the old cartoon Captain Pugwash was a cesspool of filthy double entendres. http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/pugwash.asp

    What's the preferred nomenclature: d3 or D3? Even this article uses both.

    The problem with being too open to regarded is that the teacher is inundated with frivolous requests. Grading is very time consuming, and regrading a test because a student simply isn't happy with the grade they earned is a horrible wa

    I think the author is being overly sensitive here, and the reviewers are actually giving good advice. Most methods papers in most fields are ignored by the vast majority of researchers. Just like the author doesn't have the time to re

    I assume this article is written for people who already know about Daala. I had to search on the name to learn it's a video compression technology. After that the article made more sense, but a 2-3 sentence introduction at the start

    Please elaborate on the harm caused by her tweet. Edit: Maybe I'm not being clear. What I mean is can you point to any harm done by her tweet besides hurt feelings?

    She's a victim because the consequences were completely out of proportion to her transgression.

    Are you talking about economists or corporations? They aren't the same thing.

    I assumed by "orthodox economics" OP meant the study of economics. If s/he actually meant corporate behavior then that's of course different. Unfortunately people often conflate the study of economics with business, wh

    On the contrary, 'providing the greatest possible benefit to the greatest number of people' is a central focus in economics. Start with Pareto efficiency and go from there if you want to see various ways in which economists actua

    It's hard to imagine they could simultaneously arrest and restrain a guy, while keeping him within 3 feet of his laptop, while preventing him from shutting the lid or locking the computer. Falling to the floor would be enough to break

    I was thinking of a Bluetooth connection to his phone, and if the connection is lost the computer shuts down. I'm assuming the FBI would quickly get him away from his computer, which would trigger this defense. Or just take the battery

    Could these results be driven by sequels? I would expect that a sequel would need less crunch time (many big problems have already been solved) and have a higher ROI (they're likely making a sequel because the franchise is popular, an

    This is an exaggeration -- if they were getting 40-50 touches per game they'd never survive the season. 300 carries per season is regarded as a heavy workload, and that works out to about 20 carries per game. Of course, running backs
