Y'know, I personally would have believed the self-reported pooping frequency, I didn't really need four days of colon footage.

No, but I'd want to see a better methodology than the one that can only check 1e-9 of the available search space every few decades.

Shit, man, I'll give you that for free.

No, but if the hypothesis were "lemons cured cancer", and decades of evidence had failed to show any evidence of lemons curing cancer, and the researchers are still saying "Hmmm, maybe we need to cut the lemons up in a different way" then I

Yes, it's found a wealth of evidence that there aren't currently alien radio signals being beamed at us. At least, in the directions we've looked, at the frequencies we've checked, within our feeble human understanding of what a signal sh

None. It's just a cool amateur electronics project. Energy in >> energy out. In fact, I'm assuming and hoping for the sake of his neighbours that he's not actually attempting fusion. If I recall correctly, doing actual fusio

Are you sure? In a low-fraud world, it's probably cheaper for airbnb to insure against it themselves than to outsource that to somebody else. You don't insure against a large number of small losses, you insure against the possibility of one

I thought it provided something new, in that it has a more useful headline. I clicked on this one before "Our Committment To Trust And Safety", which was much less informative.

I don't know why you got downvoted, but yes, insurance fraud detection is gonna be a significant problem for them now, especially since they don't have any expertise in it. No doubt they'll need to hire some claims examiners. But if I say "

It's hard to draw any conclusions from this, apart from everyone's favourite conclusion "This graph totally supports my existing political opinions". One thing seriously missing: the District of Columbia.

Y'know the problem with conspiracy theories in general? They never make any fucking sense on a psychological level. The average conspiracy theorist starts from what they want to believe (generally that the US Government/The Bavarian Illumi

While the dude who invents the drug that saves my life is doing far greater work than the dude who makes it possible for me to buy that drug at the pharmacy two blocks away, they're both doing good work, and both a net gain to the world. Wh

Aw shit man, I'm a physicist, and even I can't fucking understand Higgs bosons. Allow me to quote from the Wikipedia page on the Higgs mechanism: In the standard model, the Higgs field is an SU(2) doublet, a complex spinor with four real c

What rot. The banker is a middleman, it's true, but a very necessary one. The bank connects people who have money (old people) to people who want to borrow money (young people), allowing house-sized quantities of money to be borrowed an

Yeah, I think you should start a "Who is looking for work?" thread instead, and keep Who Is Hiring for folks that are hiring.

Also: what about people outside the US ordering stuff to be shipped internationally? Fuck, if it turns out the cheapest way to buy something is to have it shipped from Washington to Australia and then back to California, I'm doing that.

So we should get rid of state sales taxes (which were always a stupid idea -- why would a state want to punish businesses for doing business in that state, especially in border areas?) and make sales taxes federal. Then, to compensate, we l

The "Main Street Fairness Act" If I got to congress, the first thing I'd do would be to introduce a bill to ban the use of cute and/or self-advertising names for bills. Let it be the "Sales Tax Collection Act of 2011" or something like that

Man, these guys went to a lot of effort to get a fake body, then. Oh well, I guess that's government projects for you.

The problem is that you don't get a good one-sentence explanation, you get a bunch of one-sentence explanations of widely different quality, frequently contradictory. I'm not sure this would help anyone understand anything. But to test it

Is that the reason? I always get around it by clicking "link" -- that always brings up a reply box.

Though interestingly, there wasn't nearly as much blame heaped on craigslist when this happened as is currently being heaped on airbnb.

On the bright side, in a few years we'll have robot dance parties instead.
