Without commenting on IP piracy itself, I don't think the train analogy works for the additional reason that it certainly costs less to transport a train with (say) zero people than a train at full capacity. Fuel cost is probably the bigges

He shouldn't forget that a lot of the "scientists" that are using his "engineering" money are really "applied scientists", which are on the very blurry boundary with basic engineering.

After a certain point, you obviously don't need any more money, but a lot of super rich people clearly can't help themselves in trying to accumulate more wealth.

I think you understand how it works, but phrased it wrong. T-mobile is the only one who doesn't markup its prices for contracts used with unsubsidized phones. Where, "subsidized", means subsidized by the customer. The other carriers charg

integrative medicine (whole-body treat-the-cause instead of the symptom) "Integrative medicine" is just another term invented for "alternative medicine". A few respectable universities have centers/institutes for this, but it is almost al

I didn't interpret that to mean they actually glow in the dark, as in produce their own light, but rather they appear more red "when the sun is a bit down".

Assange talks a little about his earlier activities in the Forbes interview from 11 Nov 2010, which is very interesting. http://blogs.forbes.com/andygreenberg/2010/11/29/an-intervie...

I don't know where to find the stats, but the number of categories has expanded greatly. I assume that trend will continue. The hard part is convincing people to upload their work. Even in physics the use of the arXiv is not uniform. In som

The difference is that those spies had a whole government behind them wanting to save face. I'm not sure many governments are very happy with Assange at the moment.

it makes me wonder how the clever financial world will find a way to take a lot of people owning index funds and somehow fleece them. I think a lot of companies are setting up index funds now with high fees, because they know index funds

The only program that I think beats Amazon Prime is Zappos VIP, which gives you free next day shipping. Zappos seems to hand out VIP memberships right and left to keep customers happy. Of course, now Zappos is owned by Amazon. Edit: I have

I actually want something more like CS Lite for Firefox that lets you create a white/black list on the fly (no pop-up dialogs or anything). https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5207/

I wonder how these students did in their other classes? It was not even presented to the students as a physics specific event. I am also very skeptical.

According to the paper, it looks like to do best on the final exam you'd want to be a male in the control group with low gender stereotype endorsement. To do best on the Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation, you'd want to be a female in t

I have a lot of physician friends who say that testing vitamin D levels is the latest "fad", so to speak. I got tested out of curiosity and was in the intermediate range (30-40 ng/ml) (technically not "normal" (>40ng/ml), but not "low"

He may have a good strategy in that he teamed up with another person on his PLoS blog. That can decrease the chance of blog silence.

This is a cool DIY project. For those wanting something similar without the DIY, we've used the Tattle Tale to keep our dog off the couch. It costs less than the Aurduino board. http://www.amazon.com/Tattle-Tale-Sonic-Training-Alarm/dp/B0.
