I don't mean to distract with the examples of corn subsidies and malaria. I don't think it's terribly difficult to find a plethora of examples in which a state's concern for rather trivial internal affairs dwarfs its…
Thanks for your reply, if you can even read this. While it's unclear to me whether it's ever off-topic to point out problematic slurs (would you think similarly if the OP had written "they got rid of a faggot..."?), I…
The analogy holds precisely for the reason that San Jose does not consider itself beleaguered by the influx of immigrants who want to live there. The fact that you could entertain thought experiments in which the net…
You're implying that it's shameful to suck cocks. Could you offer some other reading of the term? EDIT: I'd also be grateful to anyone who could explain why I've gotten more downvotes for this than for all other…
The fact that the OP is confusing a positive claim: "states often exhibit little or no regard for the people outside their boundaries" with a normative claim "states _ought_ to act that way" is plainly evident. That…
Where's the sexism in my comment? I'm not assuming that straight women are doing all the cock-sucking, nor am I neglecting the existence of gay men, lesbians, bisexual folks of all stripes, asexual people or other…
Half of the world sucks cock. What's your problem with it?
I fear you are confusing positive with normative claims, even if your highly doubtful positive claim is true. How do you make the citizens of a given state better off on average by preventing them from engaging in…

Even so, the rubric only shows that Michigan is willing to overlook academic shortcomings in their efforts to recruit athletic talent. Academic and athletic talent still might be correlated in the general population,…
Could you say a little bit to justify your use of the term eigenvector in that sentence?
I care about scheme.
This fun article by Andrew Gelman and Deborah Nolan shows that it's practically impossible to create a coin that will demonstrate a bias when flipped, unless the coin is allowed to bounce:…
Yes, says Daniel Davies: (http://crookedtimber.org/2007/05/10/in-praise-of-budweiser-c...) Budweiser has rice in it. So what? So do Asahi and Kirin of Japan, Bintang of Indonesia and Efes of Turkey, and nobody has such…
> You make it sound like Anwar al-Awlaki had a beer with al Qaeda so we decided to whack him. Well, that's practically all that we know-- he was killed for propagandizing on behalf of some terrible ideas. But it…
And then, if your assistant gets anywhere with the date, file a lawsuit to prevent them from ever mentioning it in public.
You're there in the lab to see them make these mistakes, but you can't tell them to man nano?
Perhaps a better example here is the work of the empirical psychologists Fechner, Weber, Helmholtz, Wundt &c., respectively influenced by and reacting to Mach and Kant.
converse Negation. There are plenty of true conditional statements whose converses are also true.
Hey Tito, congrats on shipping! This is Patrick from Baltimore-- we talked for a bit at iGEM and the FBI DIY-BIO thing last year. In the dry lab, I'm really more of a regular PCR consumer than a regular PCR user, but…
there are free web tools that can help you design unique primers. True, but if you are going to your own PCR, you might as well do your own primer design. It's practically the "hello, world!" of bioinformatics, not to…
I fully acknowledge that there are domains where C is the best/only tool for the job. I was specifically taking issue with the claim that C is lucid, and neither scary nor evil.
Well, QED.
I don't intend to argue so much as to offer a data point: I suspect that most folks on this site learned C or something C-like early on, and have internalized its modus operandi. I have been learning C recently from a…
