Another book on the topic that I can recommend: The New Foundations of Evolution: On the Tree of Life, by Jan Sapp

This one? http://youtu.be/0zHev9iM8kU?t=20m26s

Yeah, I can see where one could get confused. I use a version of Source Code Pro that's been patched to work with vim-airline[0], which is why it's "for Powerline". On OS X I think…

To install multiple fonts on Arch and Ubuntu I just copy them into `~/.fonts` and run `fc-cache -v`. edit: On OS X the directory is `~/Library/Fonts`.

For gVim I put this in my .vimrc: set guifont=Source\ Code\ Pro\ for\ Powerline\ Medium\ 11

I've been an active editor since 2011, primarily on the topics of computational biology and African American history.[1] I started by inserting citations, then by incorporating a c…

Wikipedian here. Your source's analysis reflects the years 2000-2010, while the citation given for Wikipedia's article is based upon numbers provided to the New York Times for the …

I remember coming across a group of other students who were getting into a argument about a tricky calculation required for a chemical analysis pre-lab. After this had gone back an…

We've found microbes almost everywhere, and they make up the vast, vast majority of life on this planet. In Lake Vostok's case, the first reports were in 1999,[1] and yeast and fun…

It's a scientific mission, which is expressly protected by the treaty.

I think the article's main point succeeds on the merits: while we have a variety of statutory and regulatory mechanisms in place to make sure that things like credit reports are co…

To us, perhaps, but not to the average NYT reader.

Sweave support? You could hand off to an EC2 instance and include n hours of computation time in tier x .

Music for 18 Musicians is usually my first choice whenever I want an hour of uninterrupted productivity. The piano and mallot lines are like a rhythmic propulsion system.

This is precisely where the Copyright Office (and its UK equivalent} can step in and make explicit that textmining in this fashion is unambiguously fair use.

Not solely on family income (but I'd suggest that if 100K is nothing in Manhattan one might be better served by looking a bit farther afield, Brooklyn perhaps...), but as it curren…

Yes, to an extent. I think the focus on what the ivies do or don't do distorts our view (the majority of US undergraduates attend community colleges, for example) of what truly is …

> Correlation does not imply causation. Precisely my point. By my reading it appears that the only empirical evidence for race-based discrimination (an extraordinarily grave accusa…

I don't get it. Family income is a very strong (if not the best) predictor of SAT score. In this case, if you order each race by median income you get the exact same order as mean …
