I think we'll have to agree to disagree. I think that opening statement is a rhetorical device.

"On the question of trusting experts, my frame of reference is the field of influence and persuasion. From my point of view – and given the examples of mass delusion that I have personally witnessed (including Trump’s election), I see

He suggests strongly that they are delusional (as are basically everyone who disagrees with him). That's a big claim to make under the banner of 'free speech' while not having to defend it.

Anyone can try to be a gadfly to the consensus side of science, science is open to anyone. But, if you choose to throw your hat into that ring then you open yourself to criticism of your methods and behavior. You don't get to shout &#x

Just to be clear, Pielke is also in the op article testifying to the panel. So obviously there already is a place for his viewpoints, and given all the other people testifying have jobs as well, places for their viewpoints also. Part of be

As a former chemist, I think there's always a role for a gadfly in science (or in any profession). But part of being a gadfly is acknowledging you're probably wrong and the majority is probably right, and not trying to intentional

Thank you too, at least now we've worked down to what we really disagree about. GG

I do. I start from the assumption they're reasonable men like me, then compare their ledes to the evidence proffered in the story, and the strength of the conclusion. Infowars fails that test for me, and as a crosscheck, people who ha

I think the main stream media's report on it at the time was reasonable to the facts available (though a quo bono on it should, and did, make some outlets question the evidence). You can't judge decisions in the past based on new

I don't believe they believe it, and that means we're at an unarguable impasse without starting to bring evidence in.

A reasonable reporter can follow journalistic procedure properly and still be misled, it's a probabilistic exercise. Reducing news media into 'fake news' and 'always perfectly correct' is a 'false dilemma'

sigh , if you consider "Soros-funded radicals want civil war" (infowars front page currently) a good faith statement, then we're working from different axioms and can't have a real conversation.

I said, "based on facts in evidence." A good faith reading of what I wrote would assume I meant a "reasonable" reporter who has done the journalistic standard in the US of cross checking sources, critically examining th

That wasn't fake news. Fake news is knowingly spreading news which is either a hoax or likely to be a hoax. Reporting information from a credible government source based on facts in evidence, is simply reporting. The facts supplied t

Unfortunately I wasn't able to afford to have a professional appraisal done for every house my realtor showed me. I'm glad you were in a different position.

by drewbuschhorn 10y ago
I bought a home last year, and each realtor I talked to brought up how terrible Zillow was before I ever mentioned it. If you look at the WaPo article all the comments are by other realtors, so I'd take those comments with a grain of

Thanks! I had seen the main site, which I had used lightly in analyzing arxiv papers, but I'd completely missed that they had a library on github.

I actually spent a few months putting one together a few years ago using PLOS, and it was actually fun. Unfortunately outside of PLOS and arXiv, the APIs for building the graphs just don't exist. Here's one of the better graphs I

Not really my thing at the moment, but I think you want 'list' for 'lis' in your front line. Good luck with the project!

(since you're in cali, and I'm not) I'd like to draw your attention to the science hack days in SF. Have a look at this wiki[0]. WilliamGunn and cazDev on github are two people I know who've participated in / have some connections that mi

Partly as self-promotion, and partly because it might be useful to someone, here is a link to what lamson is: http://lamsonproject.org/ and a series of blog posts I wrote on setting up a simple lamson server: https://github.com/drewbusch

I like the look of the actual menu pages, though I was overwhelmed a bit by the front page. And I really like the ratings of individual dishes. Since user generated content is going to be the limiting factor, have you considered integratin

Sure you can, you can also be a writer and not know what punctuation is. In fact that would explain a few things around the web. oh wait, you meant a good web designer ...

"There is nothing new under the sun" was first said before there was writing. It was wrong then and it's wrong now ... there will always be a fine line between copying and creating, and if you give a damn, your job is to stay on the right
