again, thats what theoretical physicists do. Someone makes a weird observation and your theory is left with a hole. You try to plug it. They don't preach these things. Physicists don't run around preaching unprovable holy grail th

And that's exactly what dark matter is. Journalism misleads people very hard about physics research. Physicists dont run around claiming they've observed dark matter. That's the wrong direction. Physics has a problem with gra

Thats not even a viable argument. You know how long things take. Assuming that thats true, what do you do about it? Something took significantly longer. What are you gonna do about it? Fire them?

Not having a paper trail is increasingly seen as a positive. What does my paper trail get me? Evidence to be spun into a scenario that justifies firing me if the wind ever blows the wrong way.

this does not sound like wolframalpha at all. wolframalpha is computer algebra software turned into a web service which allows for searching some papers, pre-written articles and a bunch of interesting, curated numbers. wolframalpha provide

Ev Williams is trying to save the world with a blogging platform that is slightly better than blogger. Meanwhile Elon Musk is over there being a selfish little bitch keeping all the cool toys to himself.

google provides qualitative answers. what would be really neat was a search engine that provides quantitative answers or raw data. i'd like to be able to search google for "all the pages that contain a particular javascript snippe

I do mostly contract work. I have a line item called "distress surcharge" that is charged to clients who want to bother me with being in the office. Effectively doubles my rate. Helps them quit being silly.

Maybe the fact that they are not operating the company. They maybe have a board seat. They can use that vote to get rid of the CEO and hire a new one. That CEO can then decide to give them access to files. CEOs of delaware corps have to do

I'm the first person to admit that if I was to run a company, I wouldn't allow people to work remotely only. But as an employee, there's no way I'm going to drag my ass into an office ever again on a regular basis, when

You mean there's a non-trivial number of patients who are prescribed opioids to essentially self-medicate at home because keeping them in the hospital until they're recovered is "too expensive" - who are then told to dea

I'm not saying that everything has to be surgically repaired. Whatever the surgeons decide to do I'm cool with 99.9% of the time. Its just that there are people who "should" have surgery who "can't" have i

People take painkillers because they can't afford surgery. Say you have a messed up disk in your spine. Surgery is tens of thousands of dollars. Getting a prescription for opioids from a primary care physician is a bit cheaper. You don

obviously. but they are only in ireland because it fiscally makes sense. there is no real reason for facebook to maintain a presence in the EU any more than they have to have a Seoul office to offer facebook services in south korea.

They are concerned about actual monopolies. There are hundreds of messenger apps out there that roughly work the same way. If facebook suddenly charged $100/day for whatsapp, people would just use something different. Like Kik or whate

I don't think its possible to HAVE any real consequences. Clearly they are american companies. Europe can't do a whole lot about shutting them down. They could block them, if it wasn't for laws. But even if it was not for law
