I doubt it would have been "out of control", it would have just been slow changes over time as trim increased. The pilots might not have been fighting it much either, if they thought that airspeed was the problem, and not pitch.

I don't want to put words in you mouth, but social science is not necessarily pseudoscience. A lot of it is, or rather, a lot of what is popularized is, because it's a lot easier to make bullshit interesting.

Probably because #2 and (even moreso #3) are difficult to evaluate without a great deal more nuance. There's not much of a use case for #1 except (arguably) national security. I assume what you mean by #2 & #3 is when people collec

Yeah, that comment was really unfortunate. HTML & CSS is undervalued, but it has very little, if anything, to do with gender bias. It has a lot to do with the fact that a) it's really hard to write requirements for those things and

How come you call your fiend a hacker? Ever since the late 90's the term has largely been co-opted by the "iamverysmart" type of people.

I suspect a big part of the tragedy of the Challenger was a breaking of the "futuristic utopia" myth that many had in their minds at the time. A lot of it has disappeared in the last 20 years (or at least moved over to the singula

Perhaps I don't understand you, but HTML is not XML. There was an attempt to make HTML a form of XML a while ago, but people mostly forgot about it for no good reason.

Because of two things: 1. when it comes down to it, the notion of a disease is actually very wishy-washy. Is homosexuality a disease? The difference between yes and no has a lot more to do with cultural changes in the last 50 years than any

I think a related problem is that many university educators have a pretty abismal understanding of education itself. For some of the, the notion that leaning tools shouldn't necessarily be assesment tools is rather suprising.
