You thinking it does not magically make it so.

Indeed. It is surprising that more technology isn't being put forward to confusing this information. And no, the privacy policy doesn't do anything to calm me down. How does one defeat a digital camera at range?

NorCal is also a major producer of rice...just not in the hill country but in and about Sacramento all along the river.

No, that is very unlikely.

Why? Brain structure is different there might be other real differences. However, the data doesn't show that at all. It merely shows acceptance is higher. I am therefore left wondering are these non-controversial changes? For exam

The abstract, despite the clear results, is written in the most hostile manner possible.

No, its him being a smart ass. He has never received that email but it allows him to straw man any opponents. Because @!#!$$!@ love science!

Which is why I linked directly to a NY Times peace that gives a fairly balanced discussion of the same. And it is not fair to claim that it was, "only loosely disguised as reasons of science." The reasons given, in both the Inspe

I didn't find it a joke and the votes indicate others took it seriously (down votes are serious).

Nice stuff...except for the about page. "but our federal science budget is controlled by climate denialists who dishonestly impede Earth observation because environmental science embarrasses them." Uh no. The House voted not to s

I should go further. There is a significant amount of data that doesn't work well with their conclusions. I also find the example of "impolite" comments hilarious. It seems to be detecting the imperative vs. detecting impo

I'll let Job's ghost know about the results. It will change everything.

Keep your generalizations to yourself. There is a wide array of Republicans who believe in limited government not cracking private security because it doesn't belong there. McCain is a nice guy but is an extreme hawk.

So: - We've had religious erosions to the First - Continued assault against the Second - The Third appears to be safe - Fourth is largely gone with Forfeiture - Fifth mostly safe - Sixth now under attack - Seventh also attacked by Forf

You can't require everyone to go to college and then also have it be an academic paradise. People "need" college now to work on Starbucks (which is beyond ridiculous). We've bought into a social narrative where college

Can we kill the "teachers aren't paid enough" heads in here? They are the weakest of all performing of all majors ( http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/rick_hess_straight_up/2011/09... ). Get a busi

"Tax Cheating" is evidently another way of saying "sovereign state". The Swiss can do whatever they want. We don't tax the world. Sadly they capitulated in what was naked Imperial aggression by a foreign power. T

How, pray tell, does free change the problem except in fantasies? There is plenty of "free" software that contains the same problem.

Nice to see that those who are pro child molestation still getting press. Classy New Yorker.

I found this quote in particular to be troubling for the _opposite_ reason. That is, in the case of a sex offender who is a pederast, hanging out with a child can be (and for good reason) a parole offense. The author buries this in his ar

I actually think he has a much firmer idea of what bigotry is than you do. I'm actually astounded that you would flaunt your ignorance of the word.

So true, but moralism is also out of fashion.

Given the votes here your contention that "HN so far has generally been in support of Strangeloop's decision" shows evident bias. Who the blazes cares if he believes in the tooth fairy as long as the technique is correct? Wi

Baloney. What we have is a culture that has largely undermined the concept of constructive and well structured argument. One should read the exchanges between friendimies GK Chesterton and George Bernard Shaw. They respected each other a
