> When I read it my impression is that Feynmann is the kind of storyteller that doesn't let the boring real life details get in the way of a good story. Is this not an undesirable trait in non fiction stories?

Elon Musk has a bachelor in science and business, I feel like a PhD scientists is allowed to complain about the media going to Elon Musk for science views rather than scientists

You should read some of the more egregious stories that have been published with his blessing. It's not just "experience in mischeveity", it's "being a general nuisance, then everyone clapped"

Who is trying to "tear him down"? All I see is people trying to point out the differences between "Richard Feynman the character" and "Richard Feynman the real person" "Richard Feynman the character"

I don't think the problem people have is "Richard Feynman didn't produce content" It's "the content that people interacted with that they formed an opinion on "Richard Feynman" from was actually edito

A lot of the comments on this post are references to the book "surely you're joking Mr Feynman", which was a collection of stories(with a lot of embellishment) told by Feynman. That is the "sham legacy of Richard Feynman

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. "Surely you're joking Mr Feynman" was not written my Feynman and contained obviously fabricated stories. The fact that he was aware of this is more a point against his

It's interesting having this video be my introduction to Feynman, then seeing how people talk about his personality. She brings up points that don't seem easy to dispute, yet all of the comments here seem to be praise for the man

Isaac Asimov wroted/edited ~500 books over his life. Some of the people mentioned in the research are coauthoring ~200 paper a year. I don't think Isaac would be in the same league as those mentioned in this paper.

Looks like the number is off, but is their point any different with 212 papers? I still think that it would be impossible to give any meaningful support to 212 papers in a year. That's a new paper every 1.72 days.

Not really since both give you wrong output that you need to design a system to account for(or deal with). The only percentage that would change the utility would be 100% accurate.

You do realize the guy you're talking about "dismantling and exposing" these immigration systems is the same one that wants to replace tech workers with H-1B visa? Maybe ask yourself why you/they are against immigration

Maybe we should look a little bit closer at who was hellbent against Wikileaks, and whether or not they're the same people "live tweeting leaks". I have a feeling it's not the ethics of the actions that have changed, b

And it's hard to argue that your method you "thought" would eliminate bias actually does eliminate the bias you set out to eliminate. The only way to do that is compare results with expectations, no?

In both those examples, why are you not giving the benefit of the doubt to the failed attempts? If GitHub attempted to anonymize applications and resulted in a biased selection, can that not be a result of them failing to eliminate the bias

Yes it is, but the court case only answered the first question and previous court cases failed to get a satisfactory(for the conservative groups behind them) ruling on the "illegal discrimination" parts. It's also possible th
