Here's a thought: You don't need to post every single thought you have on twitter. So many of these controversies can be avoided by following that rule

The problem is that "suicide" has been getting expanded to the point where it it means any harm, not actual destruction.

> I can't see PlayHaven hiring mr_hank back ... I would guess it'd be slightly awkward. It would certainly be awkward, but it would be a pretty big PR hit not to take them back.

Well, I think it depends on whether you count only "news" or if you count stuff like blogs or "social media". I'm very up to date (I think) on politics, but I don't feel like I need to read the NYT every day. In the Essay Aaron isn't talki

sure, but think back to the last election. 95% of the coverage was about stupid stuff like Mitt Romney's campaign manager talking about an "etch a sketch" or whatever. Instead of looking into the details and explaining Romney's bogus tax p

Well, there is a difference between reading "the news" and reading a specialized website about stuff you're interested in. I would have heard about this from the various blogs I read. I'm actually pretty informed about "the news" but I don

I would appreciate it if people stopped making up or repeating ridiculous pseudo-scientific explanations for whatever it is they want to believe.

What are you talking about? The requirement would be that the articles be published in open access journals, or else published elsewhere after being published initially in closed access journals. The high prices you linked too aren't an im

Right, but being a Olympics sponsor is mainly something people find out about on TV, not by actually going to the games. Where is the evidence that actually preventing people from using mastercard helps?

Yeah, but this is like: only allowing people with Lexuses to enter, everyone else... just can't get in.

You know you can have as many Google accounts as you want, right? You could create a new gmail account just for this, to try it out.

Rick Scott is an idiot. He demanded welfare recipients get drug tested, the net result was that hardly any of them failed and it cost more money then it saved - oh and of course he owned the drug testing company - he was basically shoving

Seems unlikely. Good researchers care about research, and don't really care about teaching. While people who care a lot about teaching may not care much about research. A lot of profs don't like teaching and prefer spending time in the la
