How does finding an anomaly ruin a career? Any examples from particle physics?

Facebook isn't responsible for organizing genocides, etc either. You might as well blame the telephone when criminals use it in commissioning a crime.

General relativity is not linear algebra. Just glancing at the underlying equations, you can see they are non linear. [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_tensor ] The same is true for quantum field theory. I'm

You shouldn't have to hide your message. It's not free speech if you can only talk about controversial things exactly the way some corporation wants you to.

Interestingly, this isn't true in particle physics! Probably most papers published by ATLAS or CMS are a negative result.

The article doesn't seem to have anything to do with Facebook?

It doesn't weaken democracy any more than other social media. And if facebook goes down it's just going to be replaced with tiktok or something worse.

The author calls for tech journals to release their race data. This is why the author has to resort to the approximations you take issue with. "Big Tech Media corporations should do the right thing and release the demographic breakdown

Yes, building an accelerator would have economic benefits for whatever location is chosen as the site. This could be built in Japan (as the paper mentions, it may build the ILC) or even the US.

It has changed! But it's changed because class mix of the people going to college has changed. Wealthy people used to make up a significant proportion of people going to college. People who didn't need to work for money. Now it

As colleges are run like businesses and most people expect some sort of financial benefit from attending them, we should see the ROI continue to decrease until it is close to neutral.

Just curious - given your boss's boss is so self-interested, what advantage could he gain from pushing out a subordinate and laying off all the people below?

Thanks for your honesty. Hopefully the NHTSA is also going to investigate the many other cars with traffic aware cruise control, which have the same problem with stationary vehicles. I was driving my Rav4 with TACC enabled, and it would hav

His point is that it, therefore, wasn't a "maximum military effort" as Zinn claimed in his sloppy prose.

Thanks for your thoughtful response. I must say [0] does look interesting, though I've only glanced over it. I would just point out that, a) it's not observer dependent, it's measurement dependent. If you collapse a wave-func

What deaths? I would tend to disagree that the algorithms caused deaths in any event, unless they were maybe physically brought about by the algorithm in some way... You might as well say electricity or the internet itself caused those deat

However, can a social science framework actually predict what would happen, rather than postdict (after it happened). If so, why didn't they make such predictions in 2012 during Facebook's IPO?

On the contrary it's easy to make this argument for physics. Would physicists have developed the atomic bomb if they had been required to take a few extra courses in social sciences and if physics departments had an extra multi-discipl

Quantum mechanics doesn't provide "positive evidence that reality is contextual and non-concrete." 1) A quantum state can exist in a superposition of different states, but once measured, it collapses into one and only one sta
