My initial thoughts were to comment, This is really freaking cool, great idea whoever. But when I realized I couldn't put my own keywords in the url and zoom the map out and move it around I was somewhat less impressed, it's stil

Regardless of whether it is surprising, I think it is unwise to label it "regular practice," because this gives it a sense of being condoned. People in many spheres of public life recuse themselves of dealings in which their actions and de

Awesome tool for when crime happens False Premise -- Crime doesn't happen on a set timetable. So how do you determine when it should or shouldn't be in use? For something like this, and most crimes(if not all) I don't see how a drone rea

Well, here we have an interesting demonstration of a quirk in the human mind. I guess you could call it a misattribution of word memory. Your description of "FOXPRO2" interested me enough that I searched wikipedia for it after reading your

Perhaps, but isn't the current workload in some cases the result of not reviewing new laws. So with a system of reviewing new laws before their passage it seems likely that what makes up the court's current workload would decrease over tim

Barclays was not alone in what they were doing yeah, I think I read on Taibbi's blog that the attention initially came to Barclays because they weren't "juicing the goose," they then were encouraged to do so to alleviate the disparity i

When you come across something you are unhappy with, take action to thwart/mitigate/undo it. Don't be fearful of it, fear is not a productive emotion. Fear is a strong means of control. Why do think demonstrators are being assaulted? The

Having first read jdp's comment, then the linked doc, this seemed pertinent - " In the book that I'm writing now, I can talk about it later, if you'd like, I'm interviewing eight of the most eminent people in the world today in different fi

If it is something you want to spend time doing, then act on it. Your outsider status can be construed as an advantage in that you are less likely to be constrained by unconscious acceptance of the current dogma of the field. You have less

Flagging also opens the door to 'pranksters' that will false-flag everybody just to clog the system. Seems to me this could be mostly avoided by having the flagging mechanism repsond to some # > 1 of flags from unique users. Issues

Where is correctness defined? What is the antecedent for 'it,' the 'answer' or the 'question'? Does this phrase even make sense? I suspect it is supposed to be some 'recursive cleverness,' or just not make sense? C) 0% because for somethin
