When I took astronomy classes in college, I was introduced to a very cool program called Digital Universe. It's developed by the Hayden Planetarium (the one where Neil deGrasse Tyson is Director) and comes with a module to explore the

I don't think it sounds that way at all. In fact, the woman even acknowledge she didn't know as much as she wanted to and was going to do more research into Abilify to be better-informed. The linked article is actually part one of

The quotes they got from their source "Shark" are hilarious. They're being worked hook, line, and sinker.

Spotify is far behind Google Play in my opinion. The biggest difference is Google actually has money it can pour into music and doesn't have to raise funds. Google Play and whatever Apple chooses to do with Beats Music have a better ch

"Consider that, depending on your racial category, it may be ok for the US state to choke you to death in public." It is never OK, ever.

We can make excuses for this behavior, but we shouldn't make it look OK by using the word "reasonable". It's certainly understandable why people make those assumptions, but those assumptions are neither based on reason n

Give them more money. Then they'll be able to pay more taxes to fund unemployment benefits for all the people who will be laid off.

Just to add another anecdote, I feel like the people I know who are able to whistle generally recall pitches very accurately, they just can't name the pitches without further training. Whistling isn't hard to learn, and it is easi

The particular model chosen in the article reflects physical reality, and the physical reality of it is that cell phones do not produce ionizing radiation. There is no debate as to whether this is correct, because this is how we see the wor

After reading the article and the comments here, I have mixed reactions to this. As I have learned more about anti-depressants, I've come around to the opinion that they are no more effective than placebo at treating mental illness. Th

"It seems like Apple is doing that as a way to kill competition and promote their own watch, which is fair from a business standpoint." It's nowhere near fair. It's extremely anticompetitive. This is the kind of behavior

Considering that Death Cab For Cutie isn't even that good, I would have been disappointed either way.

We (in the west) have spent a lot of money doing that already. The local governments should take care of that anyway.

All the reasons you gave for why it's not possible are situational. It is possible for kids to get three hours of sunlight, either at school or at home by playing outside. (By the way, who refers to a minor child as "it" anyw

I believe it's the stranglehold of the pharmaceutical industry on psychology that prevents research like this from going forward. Instances like Isak's ordeal with PANDAS and Susannah Cahalan's battle with anti-NMDA receptor

We can make it to Mercury. In fact, putting a spacecraft in orbit around Mercury is made more difficult because of the need to decelerate against the Sun's gravity. If you look at the Wikipedia page for the MESSENGER mission, you'

String theorists should stop referring to themselves as physicists and just accept they're pure mathematicians already. String theory makes for an interesting branch of mathematics, but an awful excuse for a physical theory.

You're right. I hit a paywall at first, but with private browsing got through to the full article, so I guess I used up my quota.

Alternately, it's probably because the use of "most" is unwarranted.

It is seen in other industries, they are just more localized. For example, it used to be the case that in coal mining towns or automotive industry towns, there was great pressure to get everyone working for the local coal mine or auto plant

I would not trust the average person with higher speed limits. If they want to be adequate, safe, reasonable drivers, then they should drive at a slower speed and get used to it. I get the feeling that the reason most people who speed do it

It's amusing, the sense of entitlement expressed by contributors. There were some hiccups along the way, but everyone was given back their commit rights. If you want it to be "your" project, fork it. Everyone who was working

As far as I'm concerned, for comments, you either have a form for screen name and email, or you use Disqus. Facebook comments is not a good alternative. Other alternatives do not yet have as wide adoption as I would like.

I don't know about that last point. Why even keep version numbers at all if you're going to skip over a version? Chrome started the path to irrelevancy for version numbers, PHP is following the trend.
