> the first fundamental particle observed since the quarks in the 1980's A minor correction -- the tau neutrino wasn't discovered until 2000.

He didn't intentionally upload code to Germany. He uploaded to xp-dev.com, and the server happened to be in Germany.

According to this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/big-shift-for-gas-guz... we exported $37.1B worth of vacuum tubes last year. I could be wrong but that amount seems wildly…

Just to be clear: what they've ruled out is the Standard Model version of the Higgs boson. There are actually many possible kinds of Higgs bosons, the SM version being the simplest…

Reminds me of this article on how hard it is to convince companies to use static analysis: http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2010/2/69354-a-few-billion-lin...

Mangosteens may be legally imported to the US from SE Asia if irradiated. They may also be imported from Puerto Rico. The Chicago fois gras ban ended in 2008.

> it's possible there are actually meth-heads who are also into identity theft Not just possible, it's actually quite common, and has been for awhile. For example, see this article…

I believe the main RS discovery channel is looking for a p pbar -> graviton -> e+ e- resonance, where p is a parton (i.e., quark or gluon).

Standard gravitons are already constrained to be almost massless, so i'm guessing the article is referring to Randall-Sundrum type massive gravitons in 5D.

> FYI there is no such thing as a "kind of" or "selective" default. Yes there is. If this plan goes through, S&P will downgrade Greece's credit rating from CCC to SD ("selective de…

I thought enterprise value was market cap plus debt?

The title goes a bit too far. The new experiment doesn't rule out the Holographic Principle, it rules out Craig Hogan's model, which was inspired by the Principle.

> Business owners who take a loss are defined by the government as living in poverty. The poverty line sets a minimum level of consumption. These people are consuming above that th…

I took a look at the data you cite in your blog post. You seem to imply people earning This cohort doesn't appear to be very poor at all, in fact -- they report negative self-emplo…

> UTC (which is an arbitrary human invention) Hmm, i wouldn't call it totally arbitrary. UTC = TAI + LS, such that |UTC - UT1| * LS are leap seconds, * TAI is "physicist" time, bas…

We should get rid of the penny and the nickel, and then issue 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 cent coins.
