Why do you accept the bitter words of a failed scientist as fact?
The bottom line is that no theory of the philosophy of science actually matters to science at all. We just happen to like Popper best (or, dislike him least).
Only according to Thomas Kuhn. He also says that the sole motivation of the scientist is addiction to puzzle solving (therefore, they need an accepted "paradigm" in order to produce solvable problems).
Virtually useless, until someone invents a standardized student.
I agree, but I don't think the tests have even advanced to the point of fairly testing the "standard" student. They are still basically testing English proficiency and the ability to coincidentally arrive at the same strange oversimplifications found in the test questions (which even a "standard" student might find to be not even wrong).
There are good teachers that don't teach to the test.
In principle, yes. However in most areas teachers are literally required to use a script.
The state standards actually give teachers freedom to approach the basic knowledge that we expect students to learn in ways of their choosing, but districts often don't trust their teachers, or want to cover their asses, and so choose one of the pre-approved curricula.
Oh, you mean like English proficiency and whether or not students have coincidentally picked up the exact same misguided oversimplifications presented in the test questions?
As far as I know, accurately measuring intelligence and/or the potential for academic success are both open problems in psychology and neurobiology.
This analysis ignores Le Chatelier's Principle. As time travel is invented and timelines are destroyed in favor of new ones, perhaps equilibrium will eventually be reached, in the form of a timeline in which time travel is never discovered.
Or each alteration of the past creates a new timeline, in which the past is further altered, and so on...until the system reaches equilibrium with a timeline in which time travel is never discovered (i.e. ours).
Yeah, I don't know why I used that. I guess I thought "roadies" sounded more like a specific role as opposed to friends, girlfriend and other tangentially involved people.
The need to breathe is signaled by high blood CO2, rather than low oxygen. That's why you can pass out after hyperventilating; CO2 is flushed out so you actually forget to breathe.
It seems like an extremely CO2 poor atmosphere would lead to lower blood CO2 as well. You could definitely survive in oxygen at the right partial pressure, but you might have to breathe consciously.
Let's also not forget that "said organization" also originated the idea of having a religion where the participants are left unaware of the actual content of that religion, in order for them to be more easily controlled.
Congratulations, your spiritual beliefs are not falsifiable (seriously, I think that's awesome).
Sadly, the religious have been putting forward eminently falsifiable claims (such as the age of the earth) for a long time. Young earth creationists usually derive their ~10,000 year figures from the Hebrew calendar or begats-based calculations, which they have been making since at least the year 100 or so. More recently, one begats-based calculation was even put forward as evidence at trial (can't remember which one, my copy of Inherit the Wind is not available).
I think all the "porn" they are complaining about is really just historically relevant artwork and medical images which most certainly belong in an encyclopedia.
Do these people bitch constantly about National Geographic, too?
It's all true...but what's missing is the fact that Google already does police their content for them, using the ContentID system they volunteered to create, a system which has already shown us (many times) how legitimate the concerns you list are.
Normally when I directly give money to a band (at their merch table, staffed by themselves and their road homies) those other people are all there (being the band themselves and/or their road homies).
I don't think it's possible to give money directly to major commercial acts.
Well, I found "censorship is telling a man he can't have steak, just because a baby can't chew it," but I still remember one about how editors who interfere with his writing ought to be put against a wall and shot. That probably has more to do with style and deadlines than removing vulgarities, though.

Ideally, the battle also results in a precedent that weakens patent protection for algorithms.
the best result is mutual destruction
No! The best result is a precedent that weakens imaginary property law.

Way to buy in to standardized testing...

You have to have something that can be measured.

Apparently including most of the people here.

Good point. I'd like to see a study on the proportion of tortured geniuses versus tortured regular people.

Emanuel would probably begin cursing and yelling
As far as I can tell, this is the primary form of communication used in his family.
At some point, should the amount of fake tan you apply disqualify your opinions from consideration?
Just a thought.

I swear there's a quotation of Twain where he has choice words for anyone who dares to change his text, but I can't find it...
Judge Alsup was appointed by President Clinton.
They collect the most from patents which are granted, but later reexamined.
