>Not enough <insert "oppressed" group>, therefore DISCRIMINATION! Demand government action to correct this injustice!
If you ask a mother what her greatest achievement in life is, she will likely say her children. This article is pure nonsense. In fact it even goes as far as to say it's "unhealthy" to want children. This sounds more…
"Diversity" has cancelled a conference where white guys try to improve the world we live in? You know who's responsible for this, right? "Diversity" == non-white
>A new Kauffman Foundation study finds that high-tech, immigrant-founded startups — a critical source of fuel for the U.S. economy Since when is outside entrepreneurship a "critical" component of any country's…
Ironic how the people defending their territory are not indigenous britains, but rather Turks. Guess Turks have more of a right to be there since they actually protect their land.
> And maybe I've met some first-rate minds who are rude and arrogant as well, but I haven't noticed because I've mentally sorted them into the "overcompensating second-rater" category. Ironically it is your ego that…
It's true, though, that it was the "bigots" that formed the events and clubs that you mention in the first place. You can't escape that fact.
Yes. You would be surprised at how much attention a well written letter can get. You may even get a personal response.
Cool idea. I was just thinking today that I wanted to write down my thoughts more often. I feel like I come up with good ideas in small bursts but I never organize them into categories or build on them. I would suggest…
Good point. Also Poe's law seems more pervasive than ever. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law

I'm not sure if PZ Meyers is a reliable source to cite when he is regarded a "confrontationalist" and has been proven wrong on many of his criticisms against Kurzweil. There are always going to be examples of heavy…

Whether they care about it or not, it's a great excuse to tighten internet regulation and track these people.
> The universe is continuous not discrete and those who believe otherwise are insane Quite a bold statement.
I recently saw a study that broke down the academic performances (maybe it was PISA scores?) of each racial group in the US and other countries. It turns out that each racial group in the US did better than in their…
Are you working for Sony? Seriously this case has so much to do with it. Suing Geohot was one thing, but asking for IP addresses to people who viewed the youtube video? And it actually went through in court? Sony asked…

The problem with your line of thinking (and many others that condemn the use of psychedelics) is that you clearly have never tried LSD. Your absolute bias is one of the many reasons its potential is hindered.
Amphetamines did help him become arguable the most productive mathematician (in terms of papers) of all time. Although I think LSD is completely different and more of a creativity unleashing type drug. Either way the…
If anyone is interested in some of the background of what happened: "The Sony PS3 console was hacked, or more appropriately "jailbroken", by iPhone hacker, Geohot. He managed to reverse engineer his own PlayStation 3 to…

Is there any market Google isn't trying to encompass?
While we're at it, let's remove the Nobel Prize in Economics. It was not part of Alfred Nobel's original will and is also a dubious category to include with the other sciences.
