If he's hooked on maths, problem solved. Now the issue is a broad education. You might like to check what one of the world's greatest maths geniuses has to say about that. Terry Tao's blog talks about the importance of a broad education. terrytao.wordpress.com
The problem with wikipedia admins remains the immature teenage mind - emotional, irrational, quick to judge and slow to alter a judgement despite new evidence.
The comments of the Florence Devouard, a former chair of the foundation and someone whose career I have watched exemplifies this in some respects. I struggle to find the logic in her statement of "Please take my vote as a respectful record of my perplexity." FFS.
To those commenting above that they wouldn't believe a word the US says, I share your doubts, but with one BIG proviso. Doesn't the CTBT include inspection regimes that treaty partners sign up to so that everyone can be assured that other signees are following the rules? Seems like a great idea to me.
I haven't "upgraded" my computer for years. Linux runs at blinding speeds for my needs. The last computer I bought was being flogged cheap because it was too slow for WinDoze.
LOL. In addition to other errors, you make the relativist mistake in your interpretation of how science works. This might help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
So you are now claiming, unlike the authors of this bullshit, that EA is not A? Is so, this is not unusual. Woo merchants of acupuncture usually misquote and misunderstand "studies" dressed up as science which they claim support their brainless religion.
So... More research needed. This seems to be a common theme in science.
I would have more of a problem with a study instantly validating something instead of, we found this observation and we are trying to spend more time validating what we observe.
I don't usually respond to Anonymous Cowards but here we go. The "more research is needed" meme is a favourite from the loony altmed crowd. So I am guessing you are either Ms Ladan Eshkevari, Susan E. Mulroney, Rupert Egan, or Lixing Lao or some other loony who believes in this woo. What is needed is intelligent research. Not crap. And this "research" is, sadly, crap as I've demonstrated elsewhere in this discussion. But it is from Georgetown University, so I guess that's OK.
Let me spell it out for you in the slightly modded words from LeadSongDog above. A proper test on "St-36" would include EA of nearby non-"St-36" points. Randomly select which EA to electrify. Vary over time. Cross-correlate the measured response series to each of the EA's selection series. Repeat until p=.05 The real challenge will be to do a blind study even among the four authors to pinpoint the alleged St-36 points on a series of rats. LOL LOL LOL cry LOL cry weep, oh my fucking god this is unbelievable shit. But it is coming from Georgetown Uni so that's all right.
Dear AC, I know that's you [editorial team for Ladan Eshkevari, Susan E. Mulroney, Rupert Egan, and Lixing Lao.] Since when is comedy vitriol? Filter the logic of my comment for comedy and you might learn something. Hey I just learned something else. Georgetown University is a hotbed for this sort of crap. Amazing how such poor "science" gets past the checkers.
I hate rubbish research and I hate rubbish research on slashdot. Stick needles in anyone and you affect HPA axis. Doh! Blast adrenal glands with electricity and you affect HPA axis. Another no brainer. The real test, if these woo believers wanted to test the magic scientific meridian whacko superpoint stomach meridian point 36 (St36) [help me stop laughing], is to do the magic at various points on the poor bloody rats and see what happens (including the little itty bitty points close to the magic St36). I sincerely hope no taxpayer money went into this particular egregious piece of flam. Check out this for NZ subsidy of this religion: https://kmccready.wordpress.co...
and can someone confirm this UMM (Universal Memcomputing Machine) is not the UMM U-MM Unbounded-MM related to RMM of the class of languages recognized by KWQFA's with cut-point (i.e. with unbounded error) of Brodsky and Pippenger 1999 paper . And I found this while trying to understand. "What is the largest probability with which a 1QFA can accept the language. in contrast to the model 1QFA discussed so far, that has been then termed as MM-1QFA (many measurements) model."
I disagree with your premise. Technical verification is comparatively easy. What's lacking is the real will. Don't forget that we are talking geopolitcs and company profits here. They, as usual, dominate.
Ta for interesting bit of chess history. I think you're way off the mark in your analysis of mass murdering regimes. The pattern recogntion theory seems much more likely.

The wikipedia Editor who queried the existence of truth is clearly part of the problem. Nutjob post-modernists who know nothing of Sokal.

I meant your mobile site. It's almost as hopeless as me
Dear sd your app is broken . I should be able to override my comment filtering options by tapping on a comment
I think you missed the sarcasm
Lessig wants Proportional Representation via his Citizen Equality Act and ranked choice voting system.
If he manages to achieve that for the USA then it will be a huge historical leap forward.
It will mean the introduction of democracy to the USA - long overdue.
Yeah Democracy ie Proportional Representation, is a pretty far left idea.

at least you get clustered results

Democracy would be a good idea first.
If it's not Proportional Representation (PR), it's not democracy.
Sadly, USA is not a democractic country in spite of their silly belief that they are.

summary should have said so
