  1. After reading the post by Comodo's "leader," I'd suggest that Comodo abandon "Let's Encrypt" before a court shames them. If the jackass wants a trademark, I'd suggest he try to register "90."

  2. 80% of deception "detected" on Security Checkpoints Predict What You Will Do · · Score: 0
    In the article, a Homeland Security spokesmodel says "We are running at about 78% accuracy on mal-intent detection, and 80% on deception."

    I'd be very curious to see their testing protocol. Is it like the War Department, which straps big bullseyes on simulated enemy missiles and then straps them to the backs of giant turtles, so that they can claim a great interception rate?

  3. more proof that evolution is wrong! on Opposable Thumbs and Upright Walking Caused By "Junk DNA" · · Score: -1, Troll

    Dagnabbit! Sarah Palin doesn't share 80% of her DNA with Trichoplax! http://www.whataboutcarol.com/

  4. Re:Impressive on Magazine Photos Fool Age-verification Cameras · · Score: 1

    It's a little reassuring that Japanese bureaucrats can be as idiotic as American bureaucrats.

  5. all over the UK, invisible in the US on Antidepressants Work No Better Than a Placebo · · Score: 1

    Isn't it weird that this story has received major coverage in the British press and next to none in the American press? Was it the timing of the release? Is it that the British press understands statistics better than the American press? Vice-versa? Or does the British press have more respect for its readership than the American press has? Or is it related to the fact that Prozac was created by an American company? All in all, the difference in availability of this news in newspapers of the different countries is fairly astonishing. I take an SSRI and it seems to work for me, but I'm willing to accept that a placebo would have worked as well. I wish publication of meta-analyses like this one, including unpublished as well as published results, was required by US law.

  6. Ed Tufte on Web Graphic Design for Small Businesses · · Score: 1

    Anyone interested in presenting information on the web would benefit from picking up two classics by Ed Tufte: The Visual Display of Quantitative Information and Envisioning Information.
