I think you give "science" too much credit. "Structure of Scientific Revolutions" and all that. In an abstract sense, yes, everything in science is subject to criticism and reevaluation. But in a human sense, entire fiel

So the ducking head tell is supposed to be an Easter egg? Doesn't really fit the definition in my mind. Or am I misunderstanding? Hard to believe nobody noticed this in the last ~30 years.

The trouble is, GNU is only _part_ of the GNU/Linux operating system. What people actually experience as "the operating system" day to day includes the kernel, and a bunch of GNU userspace, and a bunch of BSD userspace, and a

I would seriously doubt claims of health benefits of the incomprehensible ingredients on the ingredient list. Those things are there because of the constraints of "manufacturing" food that is appealing, stores well, ships well, et

Is the "naturalistic fallacy" really a fallacy? Is is it really just another of the many fallacious fallacies? I think there's logic to regarding more recent food innovations with greater skepticism. Same with many innovation

One of the biggest developments in science recently. I'm glad to see it getting attention.

It's not bad. It's in quotes, and it actually closely tracks the title of Ioannidis' paper, "Why Most Published Research Findings are False".

If the exit node only permits HTTPS connections out of it then it would be impossible for him to view the contents of exiting traffic, right? That one restriction would seem to absolve the operator of responsibility for the contents of the

Not entirely---it's still around in Belarus. And Transnistria and South Ossetia, too, though those may be more of imitators than actual remnants of the original.

I appreciate this challenge to the article's viewpoint. My response would be that regardless of our unawareness of the causes, both emotional and physical pain are signals of things we need to pay attention to. Maybe chronic pain is th

You're right, this is not new to psychology itself. It's more of a direct challenge to the culturally powerful psychiatric/biomedical approach to depression and anxiety.

Amen to this article. As one who myself once believed my depression "came out of nowhere" (but which, in retrospect, was an obvious symptom of my emotionally destructive family and school environment) and who tried for many years

Spaghetti code is not exclusive to academia. I actually felt like we produced some decent code in my lab, and we utilized some academically-produced libraries that weren't half bad, either. But that C89 government code we used was anot

The original title is "Money talks: Linux Foundation pours funds into R language". What is the Linux Foundation doing funding the R Consortium? R _can run on_ Linux, but it really has nothing directly to do with Linux per se. And

Note: the article seems to conflate the U.S. trade deficit with the U.S. federal debt. Not crucial to its argument, though.

I thought one of the lessons of Hanford groundwater cleanup was that it's an impossible task, at least with current methods---the returns of processing the water over and over diminish to nothing long before the task is done. (Sorry I
