The idea here isn't to be punitive, but to change behavior. A smaller fine, with the possibility of more for continued misbehavior is far more effective.

To be fair, it's not trivial to access. These comments only made it into later printings.

Should likely read the comments by the author about just what is and what isn't made up.

One thing a PhD taught me was how thoroughly limited my expertise is.

As a person who basically made it through college without internet, I can tell you that I had just as much trouble admitting I was wrong when I didn't have access to the internet, perhaps more because I was younger and more hotheaded.

Suppose you have one person in custody that hates another and is totaly up for pointing finger at the other person even though they are innocent. Oh yeah, that guy is planning an attack. Of course, we could both stop making things up...

Consumables are pretty easy to dive into but often don't leave room for improvement (already been done). Restaurants are similar. Thing is, these aren't businesses to dive into. The more "free" the customer, the more com

What a joke. The idea that the US is going to break up monopolies and conspiring oligarchies is plain laughable. While you're talking about fairy tales, why don't you suggest that if elected officials were honest...

This still happens with online ads, but supply quality matters. Location of an ad, quality of the domain (ESPN is very good value). But roughly 100 junk auctions come in (no bidder) for every ok auction (single bid reduces to floor) and jus

Worth taking statistical analysis at the least. Depends on what you want to do. "applied quantitative fields" is a very wide brush to use.

It's also a thing you own. Stock in Apple is a stake in a company that sells computers. What is the thing bitcoin produces?

Bloomberg is not going to focus on technical detail too much (at all) given their readership. Follow the link to the register for more detail.

Partisanship. There are no electoral consequences to moving on. So long as corporate interests have us focused on voting eligibility and who can have sex with whom, and whether there can be an abortion afterwards, no one is gonna vote based

I still find the effort at self-examination this team underwent to be heroic, especially considering the public pressure. This, to me, represents the very best science - work that goes to extreme lengths to find their source of error.

You just can't really build dikes around southern Louisiana in a way that makes any sense. Soon enough you'll be seeing similar issues in eastern Carolinas and Florida.

I think what strikes me most about this is how incredibly dumb it is. This is clearly meant to be a strike in the culture wars, but has really awful repercussions. Imagine not being able to use phrases like "experiments done in mice fe

yep, more like a puerile attempt to win the culture wars.

Budget documents are about setting and justifying priorities. It may very well be worth mentioning when a finding is backed by experiments in mice fetuses but further trials might be necessary.

You don't think being able to describe diversity in bacteria cultures is something the CDC might want to do?

If you don't understand that barring a conclusion from receiving federal funding is effectively barring the research itself, then you don't understand academic research. Even if you legitimately don't find gun control to be a

You gotta lay at least 50% of the blame on a congress that refused to do anything of value for the centralization of power in the presidency. When the only legislation that can ever be passed in name a bridge after a general, there's s

"a diverse range of bacteria" - might just be a phrase you'd see in a document written by the CDC, now banned because of stupid, puerile "culture warriors".

I wonder if the newness of the situation matters. At Christmas, my daughter will open and play with all her gifts. Two months later, she'll play with some toys more than others. I wonder if kids have a desire to try all the available o

It is easy to understate how having experience with a wide array of tools provides value. The number of times I've seen what should have been a three line sql query written as a 200 line program in python or scala just blows my mind.

There are plenty of things my government does (like invade Iraq or charge zero dollars for mineral rights) that I am forced to pay for. Cry me a river.
