Using government provided resources, like roads, for your business is not a right. You seem confused, so you should try setting up a stand on fifth avenue without a permit and see how quickly the police remove you.

Don't let yourself be entrenched in the things you already know. Take on tasks well outside of your comfort zone and peel away at those problems so you are always getting better.

What's wrong with using compile time to play DnD?

I didn't find my productivity went up. Evidently, I can find enumerable things to distract myself with. I just got fed up with all the political hate flying around. Seems this year things went from people ironically commenting on the t

It actually isn't a right legally. You can absolutely have your driver's license taken away and the government has the right to regulate usage in many ways. If you're confused about this, try driving the wrong direction for a

I recently quit Facebook, but I get the impression that I'm the exception.

If someone works at a firm with bad processes / poor or no code review, this can actually make their experience a detriment as they continue to use and reinforce bad habits.

arXiv isn't meant to replace peer review. When I submitted to phys. rev. d, a submission to arXiv to allow people to see the work ahead of review was expected.

Typically, prices go down as a product becomes commoditized - which is the common trend after a couple years of high demand.

I work on some pretty heinous legacy code and build systems. I often measure my success by the amount of code I remove rather than the amount I write.

My understanding is that most UBI proposals see the UBI as a replacement for more traditional welfare with some amount of raising taxes to keep it debt-neutral. As for the rest of what you're saying, I have no idea what you are actuall

You're confusing the distribution of money with the supply of money. The distribution of money affects economic priorities. The supply of money (as total income per unit time) affects the overall inflation. While the priorities of an e

Two people have already described why the git process is so powerful. However, let's put some context to what you are saying. 'git add', 'git commit' and 'git push' take a grand total of 25 characters (inc

As someone who spent 13 years using CVS, 8 with SVN and 3 with git, I can only say that I greatly disagree with you. The idea of adding a file to track, committing locally and pushing your commits on a branch to a remote makes perfect sense

"Pyramid Scheme" is a fairly apt phrase for academic careers. However, it's not true that reviews are mostly done by tenured faculty. I never ranked above post-doc and I reviewed several papers. I think the real reason for th

Broad is part of the problem. It's very difficult to get qualified reviewers when you haven't narrowed the scope. One of the primary problems with PLOS ONE is that it exasperates problems already seen in other journals that cover

Again, journals run by professional groups are a terrific way to avoid both the bad behaviour of Elsevier and the apparent pay to play that shows up with PLOS ONE.

Well, I explicitly endorse the APS model, so there you go.

While I very much abhor the practices of Elsevier, one has to be really careful how one acts to push back. Even without getting into the result that not interacting with Elsevier has on careers in the biomedical sciences, it's easy to

Effectively, this is a safe move for tenured professors, but not a safe move for anyone else, which represents the vast majority of active publications these days.

The scale applies to all costs though. Is there any reason to think that a person, a vehicle, maintenance and fuel, and taxes aren't relatively flat costs compared to the stuff inside the truck. Sure more weight means a bit more fuel

The biggest part of the cost of delivery on a product is, very often, the human being.

The vast majority of innovations using the Internet here have been to service employers. I think adding more information for employees is a great benefit.

There is a big, abstract, and not entirely useful introduction to this post in order to describe a useful case of pub/sub (rather the exact or nearly exact case pub/sub was designed for).

The point is that dark matter is still a 20th century theory, meaning that the structure of galaxies is understood only with 20th century theories. If you read the letter carefully, you'll find that was the original claim made by Asimo

In particular to the question at hand Newtonian physics has a very hard time explaining the galactic and super-galactic structure we see. Without relativity, dark matter, and dark energy, those structures are not clear conclusions and certa

This is something that getting into analysis courses and finding your way into higher level physics and chemistry classes drives home. It's perfectly valid to use a scientific theory that has been shown to be incorrect on some scale -
