But it has produced mathematics that have then been used by other areas of science that are not just menntal masturbation, and hence the claim that "of no use whatsover to the real pursuit of science" is false.
for example: string theory. untestable nonsense, building castles in the sky. a mathematician's fantasy life, of no use whatsover to the real pursuit of science. why so much time and energy is spent wasted on this in academia is a story of faith, not of science
String theory has made useful contributions to mathematics which have been useful outside of string theory (to mathematics itself and to other areas of physics).
these guys were laughed at and heckled. because their hypothesis and data, that a bacterium can cause ulcers, counteracted existing dogma that it was just stress. yes, there is dogma amongst scientists... but not science. what is agreed upon, is not to be questioned, is dogma. even though, of course, in real science, anything can be questioned. science is not dogmatic. scientists are. because scientists are human beings, and we have our weaknesses and our psychological shortcuts
Two effectively unknown scientists come up with something that threatens a multi-billion dollar industry and goes against the current accepted explanation. They get rejected for publication, and then accepted the next year, confirmation studies are done the net year and those two get government grants to do more work on it.
Within 10 years it's the accepted treatment and explanation (just when the patents on the drugs for the status-quo explanation expire, coincidentally), in 13 they get a nobel prize.
That seems to be an example of how well science works
The government pays for the electricity, heat, and A/C, and mortgage/rent. Well half of it anyway.
Work supplies the office supplies.
Obviously if you don't have space to work from home, or a reliable internet connection, or whatever other requirements your job has then you can't work from home. That should just be so obvious you it doesn't need to be stated.
For the rest of us, it's a deal. No time spend commuting. More time with the family. No hassles when the cable TV or plumber or whatever gives you a "sometime in this 6 hour window" appointment.
Do they even make servers that don't have remote consoles anymore?
Jesus, spend some of the money you are saving on not having to maintain office space on some capable servers.
Sure the guy who draws the short straw has to make the hike to the data center and rack new hardware, remove failed drives and install new drives (you RAID with a couple of live spares so it's unlikely for there to be "we have no working live spares, get down their yesterday!"), and so on every so often.
Or you buy the new one, and keep the old one for the non-pump parts in case one of those fails in the new one (and they want 95% of the complete price for just it).
The existance of wet nurses proves those requirements aren't necessary, lactation can be induced via a breast pump (or a volunteer willing to do some sucking...). Even if a baby turns out to be the simplest method it's only once per cow^Wperson.
The main problem will be that humans don't make that much milk and one woman is only going to produce enough product for a few babies.
And I could also just but the software as normal. But that's irrelevant to the claim of depriving the software creator of a very exact amount of "time and effort".
1. I pirate the software 2. I don't use the software at all.
How have I deprived them of 1/(n+1) their time and effort in the first but not in the second?
Sure if I pirate it instead of buying it then there's an argument that they lost the revenue if I pirate, but that's not the case in your situation. I'm not going to buy it, it's pirate it or not have it. So how do they lose anything by me choosing one or the other?
Sure legalize all the drugs and don't add tariffs/taxes on them anymore than on other items and overnight the illegal drug trade shuts down to be replaced by standard legal import/export - with of course the "avoid taxes smuggling still happending, just like it does with computer parts and clothes).
Chances are pretty good that me paying attention ready to take over at any second will result in me taking over and causing a crash that would not have otherwise happened more often than I save the day. So I'm actually decreasing the safety level.
They've only had the thing available for four and a half months. The Tunisian protests started over 3 months ago.
This current unrest covers over 72% of the total time the feature has been available. Why would you expect it to have happened in the tiny window before them?
It's a tiny change so you wouldn't expect broken hips "all over the place".
The BMD of the phone wearing side was 0.3% lower than the non-phone wearing side. And the BMC 1.3% lower. On average anyway - and there was a difference between sides in the control group to, they aren't going to be exactly equal usually.

Oh no, a company charges a price they think will get them the most profit. Curse them!
So you've been trying to clarify the difference but you insult people who clarify the difference.
Work pays for the internet access.
Work supplies the computer equipment.
Work supplies the telephone.
The government pays for the electricity, heat, and A/C, and mortgage/rent. Well half of it anyway.

No. Physics does not work like that.
Or you could buy the $50 board and then halfway through the lifetime of the $100 one buy a new $50 which supports a faster RAM module type/etc.
Or you buy the new one, and keep the old one for the non-pump parts in case one of those fails in the new one (and they want 95% of the complete price for just it).
You pay interest on credit cards?
You're doing it wrong.

And I could also just but the software as normal. But that's irrelevant to the claim of depriving the software creator of a very exact amount of "time and effort".
There are two cases:
1. I pirate the software
2. I don't use the software at all.
How have I deprived them of 1/(n+1) their time and effort in the first but not in the second?

Why?

In barrels obviously.
Judges have nothing to do with cleaning crime up anyway.
If you ignore the 7 years as a NJ Superior Court Judge, then yes that was his only experience. That would be just a little dishonest though.
Nobody cares about your shitty timezone.
No. Just because something is obvious once you see it doesn't mean it wasn't inventive to come up with it in the first place.
Those things keep them employed. The guy with more journal articles and grants is going to get the job over the guy with more wkipedia edits.

For a lost income claim, the money is taxable (just as the income it is supposed to be replacing would be).
Other types aren't but that doesn't mean they don't report them to the IRS anyway.
