Cool, will check it out. And how unanimous are these views amongst sociologists? I'd imagine there is disagreement on the subject?

Curious to see this research. Are you arguing that there's no correlation between school budgets and outcomes?

Founding charter schools is only part of the solution. You still have to get parents to send their kids to the schools, and you have to get the kids to want to go, and those are tough hurdles to overcome in a place like Newark. Like it or n

This is a pretty cynical take on things. Newark has improved considerably over the last decade and hopefully things like this will speed up the process. The Ironbound district is coming along nicely, with restaurants and art galleries poppi

Out of curiosity, why the knock on Edison?

by htsh 16y ago
No, he didn't but many took it as such. And I recall in a recent interview that he was disappointed that it was taken as inspiration by many people (as the author here).

Is it just me, or did this used to work before? I thought you could always play the music off someone else's iPod without being able to copy it.

I'm curious if anyone knows, how far does Vibram's IP protection go? It sounds like here these were counterfeit Vibrams (holding themselves out as real) but can someone else make gloved shoes (with individual toes) or do these guys have a l

I think it's both Liberal and Libertarian. And Ron Paul is quite popular there. Also, there's still a difference between something that happens there and what the Digg Patriots are doing in that they are conspiring to game the system. There

Agreed, but I think this is a little beyond self-segration. If they just wanted to self-segregate, they'd find stories they agree with and digg them up, but extending that to also ruin other people's discussion is another thing. They are ga

Yeah as a user since 2007, it went noticeably conservative in the last year or so (which is when many of us moved to Reddit). And it's not just conservative leaning but really pointed partisan stuff. I hope they can figure out a way to solv

I agree that it's a bit dodgy but his evidence looks pretty sound and I'm happy I read this, as I had installed the other "Backgrounds" wallpaper application which apparently collects personal information.

actually "niggardly" and "niggle" have related etymology, neither related to the n-bomb.
106.
by htsh 16y ago
I read about the etymology -- we concluded that early on in the discussion but the point was that there's a recent usage different from it's dictionary definition. I think urbandictionary is perfect to illustrate this sort of secondary usag

But at least you do agree and have heard it's used in this way. It's happening, though, for sure, and how we react is unclear. I guess the interesting question raised here b/w me and Confuzatron is whether we should avoid certain words once
108.
by htsh 16y ago
I don't think you understood or read my original point. I never said folks "can't use" any word. I said the word is "troubling" because racists today are using it to describe African American babies. And that magazines and newspapers have a

by htsh 16y ago
Even Confuzatron isn't denying that it's used in this way. His stance is that he doesn't think it's wise to stop using a word because morons are mis-using it. That I understand and I respect considerably more than a position that simply den

by htsh 16y ago
No, no need to clarify your position. I understood it the first time, though I wish you'd go back and read what I wrote such that you could at least understand mine. I said that I find the word "troubling" b/c of how racists are using the t

Yeah, same sort of amazement here that people are upset at me for pointing out the controversy (and that you're getting down-voted as well). I am a brown male who grew up in Jamaica, Queens and then New Jersey and saw a lot of interesting m

by htsh 16y ago
I never requested anyone stop using any word. I said I found the word troubling for what racists have done with it and that I avoid it (and that many magazines and newspapers do the same). Most offensive words are only such because morons u

Out of the 15 definitions, 5 of them are extremely racist. Do you really doubt that American people have used the word "niggle" in various racist ways and that I have heard it used in these ways? I don't know what else to tell you, but some

by htsh 16y ago
But you're ignoring the part about people using it in racist ways already. That's the rub here: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=niggle

Is that the full standalone Safari or an embedded Safari within the twitter client? It looks like an embedded browser within the twitter client. On my iPod touch, if I left my twitter client to go to Safari, I could not come back to exactly

The word "niggardly" and it's cognates are not preferred language not just due to their phonetic similarity to a word which unfortunately has awful connotation, but also because sophomoric racists have unfortunately appropriated these terms

Yeah, what's more, it sounds like an undergrad economics degree. I don't care where you go to school, an undergrad degree in economics does not mean you understand this stuff as well as anyone. That's just pompous huffing.

I'm not sure if it's the most common smartphone multitasking scenario. Considerably more common than that,I want to leave an application and come back to it without navigating from the beginning. For example, if I'm in twitter and I go to a

I'm also waiting for a second source. The only other story I've seen on this bill was also from WSJ, and also written with a heavy spin on it. This paper's editorial page will argue against anything the current majority party does. Their ne
