  3. Homeland Security on Dealing With the Eventual Collapse of Social Networks · · Score: 1

    HS has backups of all your data. Why worry? Anyways, I'm a digital pack rat and can't find shit when I need it. And I don't want to look at pictures of my fat ass anymore.

    Once again they don't have same day OS/2 support. Do they seriously expect to remain viable if they don't know who there customers are?

  7. Re:Everyone a specialist now on Trials and Errors: Why Science Is Failing Us · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This post and parents nailed it. If you don't do reductionist science, it is hard (but possible) to receive funding since everyone is trained in anti-systems (reductionist) theory. Very hard to get folks to understand that reality is complex so it needs to be studied that way when they are publishing and getting tenure. In biology it is now possible to do massively parallel reductionism using new technologies (genetic/genomic), but putting those measurements back into a system capable of predictive outcome is key. If diabetes goes away, people will listen. I am VERY excited that the roll out of applied network theory across all disciplines will reveal underlying principles that will allow for a massive shift in our ability to predict cause-effect relationships. Star Trek Tech is near...I can feel it.

    That's the funniest thing I have read in a long time.
