See how you got down voted? Groups are afraid of dissent.

I've seen this doing the rounds, and I'm a bit surprised by the publicity it's getting. The interpretation of the results is fanciful. The results merely show that a person's report of an event will be biased by their ex

Oh hush, you're missing the POINT of these kinds of submissions. The game is to find the combination of criteria that gives the US the lowest ranking in whatever. This list still puts the US above the 50th percentile, so there's p

I did not take this as an anti-science article, but as an article critical of how academic science/engineering has become hype driven. Perhaps it was always hype driven, but I find it to be particularly bad now. Before you could do &#x

This is a fairly sensationalist piece, but it does underline a supposition that is very likely true. The Chinese government has hacked many many systems, stealing information for military and commercial gain but with little publicity. Snowd

I don't know. If some one charged me with gathering intel I would be drawing up all sorts of battle plans, including weakness analyses like these. Hell, I would even try them out in the field. I would consider this my JOB.

We've been doing that for millenia. It's called writing and reading.

Just a comment here. I visit India at fairly large intervals. The prices of items there SHOCKED me! I guess if I was living there continuously I would be more used to things, so Rs 340 for a Pizza just floors me. I would have said - because

It's important because we shouldn't be suckered into giving free publicity to a person. Regardless of what you think of the immigration process in the US, many people misuse tourist visas to overstay/work. The CBP often turn

How do we know it was his political views and not some screw up with his paper work? How do we know this incident is true and not manufactured as part of a publicity stunt? I understand the communication is through his publisher, does he ha

I'm not in industry, but I do a lot of data analysis and enjoy it. I'm effectively self taught. I think beyond a certain level most people are self-taught.

If we had the government make concrete arrows like that today, they would be cracked into rubble in three years because the contractor cut as many corners as they could. (Sorry, My cynical, the past was so much better moment for today)

You could offer to intern at a data science place and start in their user interface/visualization end. Then as you interact more with the people doing statistical analyses you could figure out if that's something that you would li

I'm sure we have a country like Norway somewhere in the United States. Perhaps New Hampshire? Just like we have a country in these United States to match any small European country whose statistics are brought forward to push some kind

This is a pretty insightful statement. I would modify that a little bit from 'success' to advancement. In academia you non-academic duties increase as you advance. I've seen a handful of people pull things off such that they

In general high profile labs get there by having high through put (lots of experiments, lots of papers). The lab PI becomes a publicity guy, giving lots of lectures and wheeling and dealing with funding agencies. The actual bench work is do

Uh Oh. You outed me :) I've been around a bit, but in the critical period I was schooled under the British system. It took a bit of adjusting but I've finally got rid of all the 'u's in my spelling, and I fit in very wel

It's funny, but that sounds EXACTLY like a high profile research lab! The more I look, the more different professions seem to be the same in terms of principles of work.

I don't know what the author's real motives were (Was it really to beat on the theme that 'Americans are ignorant?), but I personally think this is a good exercise to humble yourself - 'My country/city is not as imp
