When I was a postdoc, I wrote up the results from a paper based on theories from my advisor. The paper wasn't very good- all the results were bad. Overnight, my advisor rewrote all the results of the paper, partly juicing the results

I guess I use the term "authoritarian cosplay" or maybe "authoritarian LARP" but he's taken it further than just play and posturing. He seems to truly idolize and identify with the authoritarians of the past. That

I think you completely and totally misread my comment and incorrectly imputed my intent. I am in no way allied with ICE, what they are doing is abhorrent and wrong. I'm not sure why you're attacking me or assuming I have a posit

I think it's factually correct to say that none of the videos give a truly clear view of the order of events (specfically with regards to whether the protestor could possibly have wielded their gun while being restrained by agents, or

Although I normally avoid these videos I did sit through all the ones I could find, and I strongly recommend watching them.

The statement you say was O'Hara was made by McLaughlin (DHS employee). If the article implies otherwise, it's incorrect. Here's the facts as I see them: A protestor who had a gun he was legally allowed to carry got involved

Somebody somewhere told Jobs that Apple products had too much "surface area"- a modern desktop computer with huge number of tunable options, too many programmable APIs, too many products, etc. Every one of those areas is a source

I cited Watson and Crick '53 in my PhD thesis and I did go dig it up and read it. I had to go to the basement of the library, use some sort of weird rotating knob to move a heavy stack of journals over, find some large bound book of

If we did that, CERN could not publish, because nobody else has the capabilities they do. Do we really want to punish CERN (which has a good track record of scientific integrity) because their work can't be reproduced? I think the mo

As a long time internet user and consumer of products from both Adafruit and Sparkfun, I don't think your participation in this thread is doing you any favors. Like others here, I advise de-engaging with this debacle for now.
