> People don't seem to be faking this pain, but it gets confusing. I have back pain. My editor has a herniated disc, and he works harder than anyone I know. There must be millions …

Here's a thought: You don't need to post every single thought you have on twitter. So many of these controversies can be avoided by following that rule

The problem is that "suicide" has been getting expanded to the point where it it means any harm, not actual destruction.

> I can't see PlayHaven hiring mr_hank back ... I would guess it'd be slightly awkward. It would certainly be awkward, but it would be a pretty big PR hit not to take them back.

The problem, though, is that Fox news actually backs up the kind of stuff Limbaugh says. So people can "watch the news" and still see their worldview validated.

Well, I think it depends on whether you count only "news" or if you count stuff like blogs or "social media". I'm very up to date (I think) on politics, but I don't feel like I nee…

sure, but think back to the last election. 95% of the coverage was about stupid stuff like Mitt Romney's campaign manager talking about an "etch a sketch" or whatever. Instead of l…

Well, there is a difference between reading "the news" and reading a specialized website about stuff you're interested in. I would have heard about this from the various blogs I re…

I would appreciate it if people stopped making up or repeating ridiculous pseudo-scientific explanations for whatever it is they want to believe.

What are you talking about? The requirement would be that the articles be published in open access journals, or else published elsewhere after being published initially in closed a…

Right, but being a Olympics sponsor is mainly something people find out about on TV, not by actually going to the games. Where is the evidence that actually preventing people from …

Yeah, but this is like: only allowing people with Lexuses to enter, everyone else... just can't get in.

Neither did Steve Jobs. What's your point?

> If Google needs to have some of my money in order to ensure that the relationship is, well, sensible, so be it. Give me that option. What makes you think these cloud servers are …

You know you can have as many Google accounts as you want, right? You could create a new gmail account just for this, to try it out.

Nice, some competition with Amazon should be good. Their previous cloud projects were too esoteric. In order to use them you had to program to their API, and how usage translated t…

The gates on these chips are 22 nanometers. "microchips" have been measured in nanometers for a while.

They can't get by with a 15% annual tuition hike? Jebus.

Rick Scott is an idiot. He demanded welfare recipients get drug tested, the net result was that hardly any of them failed and it cost more money then it saved - oh and of course he…

Seems unlikely. Good researchers care about research, and don't really care about teaching. While people who care a lot about teaching may not care much about research. A lot of pr…
