I'm not referring to you, I'm referring to your comment that you get through a 12 hour day by not working a 12 hour day. It may be a technically valid statement but it's completely uninteresting. It's like saying that the best way to become

It strongly depends on what part of the country you are in. Amtrak routes and delays south of about DC, for example, are pretty miserable.

Such a strict definition prevents you for using "is" for anything at all! Is that your intention?

Many epidemiologists seem to prefer Stata. That seems to be a west coast thing. East coast epidemiologists that I know use some mix of S or SPSS or SAS.

The problem is if the signal you are receiving is near that threshold. Many people would probably prefer some periodic mild fuzz to artifacts and stuttering video every few minutes.

Whether it is rational or not, I don't know. It very well may be that society is optimizing an objective function quite different from the one that you claim it should. Consider the emphasis that our legal system places on the criminal mind

All it means is that we consider intentional killings worse than accidental ones and that biases our priorities accordingly.

The physorg article links to the original research paper, which is published in an open access journal that anyone can view. Perhaps you would be interested in video S1 in the supporting information section: http://www.plosone.org/article/

One thing I don't fully understand is why the human body doesn't do this process on its own. Indeed. Furthermore, it seems that there is an inverse relationship between how "advanced" an organism is in the phylogenic tree and its ability

Given that it's presently possible to offload data processing to a number of cloud-based computing services, I'm not sure that we should be afraid of the computation cost. If you are willing to make some assumptions about independence (for

I don't think computers can help anyone find truly interesting things. An algorithm would have to be really complicated to discover the fact that just because so many people are interested in New Moon, or Tiger Woods, that doesn't mean I a

This experience is said to feel more real than real life, and to be largely ineffable. This is obviously problematic for science for a number of reasons. (For example, if it's true that there is such a thing as an ineffable experience, thi

No, I strongly doubt Rizzolatti and his colleagues considered their discovery to be parapsychology.

Suggesting that mirror neurons were ever somehow parapsychology seems like a bit of a stretch.

I'm sure they know what they are doing but the way that the slice is extracted after each pass seems really problematic to me. It looks like the slice "bunches up" and they extract it manually with some kind of blunt instrument. Wouldn't th

I like your theory. However, an alternative hypothesis within your framework could be that depression is a disorder where internal thoughts are overrepresented rather than external sensory experiences underrepresented. It seems like this
