The piece is clearly labeled as opinion and analysis. Opinion, analysis, and advocacy is part of many actual scientific journals, as it is of science itself. Go browse Science, Nature, New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA for starters. Now

Eh? Collusion over a very short period of time from specific (and easily changed) IPs can make a lot of shared money - it's not clear how (and even if) online poker sites would monitor this.

Bot support is nothing compared to collusion. In an online game, how can anyone be sure that information sharing is not taking place?

Interesting. I always thought "Google" was just a clever mix of "googol" (a huge amount) and "Go Ogle", (go look/search/etc). </disillusionment>

Your examples of "contributions" seem a tad myopic and species-serving, if not merely self-serving. Apply your line of reasoning to the range of capabilities seen in humans, and see where that leads.

I've been a vegetarian the last 10 years or so....grew up eating meat, and became a vegetarian for ethical, rather than health reasons (although I believe firmly that a vegetarian diet is healthier for people and the planet). For me, the is

You: "No evidence or data is presented to back up any of the points." Did you even read the article? The authors link to six websites that each describe research on the subject of bullying. In addition, he specifically cites comprehensive r

I admire your decision to become a vegetarian. Like you, I grew up (in part) on a farm, eating meat. Your points about a vegetarian diet feeding more people, from a simple farm to nations, are correct. But most importantly, eating meat caus

To support the assertion, this article references the main page of the website of a marketing company who published a "report" where 50% of doctors had used wikipedia as a reference. I can't find the "report" on their website anywhere. Are

Physicians do not routinely gives patients placebo (except in research), nor would it be ethical to do so routinely in clinical practice. The article you linked really talks about parents who are trying to market "Obecalp". Neither I nor an

Can we please give the silly "it's just speculation" cliche a rest? Of course it is speculation. The NTSB experts (or at least, their equivalent) are doing the same thing at this point. I guarantee that the way root causes for aviation acci

Whether you agree with them or not, you'll find many people who feel any drug dependence is a "wrong" based on their own values, or more practically, from considering societal costs.

Odd. My experience is just the opposite. I think you might have been more content at a trade school, not University. They have different goals. Pressure to dumb down the University to serve as simply a cog feeder for business has always bee

Your criticisms apply just as easily to the carefully built, optimistic buzz Wolfram is attempting to create...the same thing he tried with "A New Kind of Science".

The many misspellings and grammatical errors in an article pushing the importance of pretty, colored, 1px borders as an indicator of "quality" just looks like the same old advocacy of flash over substance. No thanks. We've had enough of tha
