Re. intent but with regards to spelling. I often wonder if there could be rules to correct errors due to key strokes in the immediate vicinity of the intended letter (e.g. "keu" vs. "key"). Would check combination of the

This problem started with the first technique that allowed the content of a communication to be physically separated from its source: printing. The real problem is not the internet, or printing, but that communicating has become the dominan

The point is not that "postmodernity has no cultural or intellectual value". Indeed, even a generator as exemplified in the article can be said to have such value. Since the end of the XIXth century it has become clear, albeit con

The funny thing about bias is that it was invented, technically, as a way of... improving the accuracy of data in audio recordings. By adding something (current or frequency) to the signal you could increase the quality of the output. Witho

I grew up in a world where the "news" were streaming through teletypes from "agencies", themselves connected to field "reporters", to newspapers and radio or TV outlets. These were Reuters, AFP, UP, AP, Stass,

Interesting how entities initially considered more or less as packaging stuff without much use, such as histones and telomeres, turn out to be a lot more than that. People, and investors, may tend to focus on the obviously active part of th

I see it more like a journey. The "throb" is something that makes you think, yes, I want to go there. Next thing you know, you're on it. And then you write it up in a way that is as close as possible to what it felt like to b

A computerized version, with online play, would be excellent. The weakness I see is that the presence of a terrain is assumed (i.e. the board) when, I think, it needs to be determined first. This seems crucial, following the social, histori

Thanks so much for posting this. I've always been partial to mitochondria but that takes the cake. It's going to take me a while to digest.

The parallel with epidemiology is striking. And I keep on being amazed by the power of the visualization of data. The problem began to unravel when they "zoomed in" on a pattern that was not clearly visible initially.

OR of 1.25 is what, 15% attributable risk? Without any ground for causality either. I agree that it is really hard to draw any conclusion from this meta-analysis.

On a side note (!), I stumbled across that: http://qz.com/488701/humans-are-confusing-music-composed-by-... Which in turn made me wonder if we couldn't create a program that would translate code into music...

Which will result in people digging deeper underground and in more tools being developed to allow that. I think this will also results in safe-heavens developing here and there around the world, just as the Dutch republic was for printing&#

I don't understand why/how a feed of IMU data (gyro + probably accelerometers) could over-ride a Doppler altimeter that "functioned properly"... Any aircraft that would use inertial data to determine altitude would be in

The real problem I see, and experience myself, is a form of addiction to stress whereby one's cortisol levels eventually raise one's baseline. This translates into a need for more stress to reach the baseline, which is perceived a

In practice, liability is the yardstick of ethics. Anyone caught in the "unethical/not liable" zone is alone. Which for most of us results in shame. For a few others, it results in pride.

Agreed. I tend to cringe at essentialism, which can be applied to any concept. At the same time, I cringe at its opposite. If the idea of an unknown entity is not entertained, held in suspension as it were, in one's mind, I think that

I'm not a professional developer but I also found that the solutions I find, the elegant ones, always come this way. My only conclusion is that this process is not algorithmic. Somehow, something top-down takes over the normal, trained

The "we didn't know" bit is eerily familiar and I will not expand. The other thing that came to mind was the 1971 Stanford Experiment (Zimbardo). It is ironical that this experiment would not be able to take place today, out
