Regardless, however crappy the reporting was does not make the work suddenly "the opposite of science."
regardless of the crappy reporting, the research design was bad
as i said before, when I addressed the research design, the idea that we needed to "confirm" a model that is already full of holes, and that, as you even admit, the are other particles that can produce the same data....
it's bad research design...why test that?
test another, more relevant hypothesis with your CERN supercollider
I support fully socialized medicine....all health care orgs become non-profit...
Health Care scarcity is Artificial Scarcity in 2014....in the US we have more than enough resources to give for free the health care everyone needs...So you might say I "oppose" Obamacare in that *isn't socialist enough*
But conversely, he Republicans have only criticism of Obama's work on health care, but no actual solution for the health care crisis
the GOP didn't even think the health care crisis was any of their concern until liberals forced the issue
confirming or not finding the Higgs boson is exactly science
but according to TFA, they didn't do that
i understand your greater point that it's research and it increases our knowledge, but i'm criticizing the research design, and the context/reporting of the findings
thanks for the comment....i have one quibble: the Computability Function is redundant and doesn't explain or predict anything
it's a non-theory...it's like Epicycles...unneeded abstractions
Machines are made to execute instructions...end.
The whole "Turing Machine" is nothing more than a "what if" that has nothing insightful to contribute to understanding how to best make instrucitons for machines to follow
The notion of parallelism is fundamentally different for an analog computer...Describing it in terms of parallel processing with digital CPUs makes no sense.
came here to say this...
that misunderstanding is an inherent problem in computing and "ai" i fear
our brains are not "like computers" in how they work
how they use technical-sounding language to contextualize that fake distinction is interesting to note, but the core of the matter is that none of the distinctions are actually relevant
also "data sources and data sinks" is also equally non-technical a description of network topology
data "flows" but it doesn't pool up like water in a retaining pond
i'd like to see a factor analysis of the number of troll/AC posts that use racism and the nearness to an election or important policy decision
we all know that unscrupulous entities use every kind of social network and internet forum to promote whatever agenda...be it New World Order/Military Industrial Complex/CIA/political parties/criminals/etc
i think we can correlate the type of sockpuppet troll with current events and extrapolate who is behind the sockpuppets and why
here on/. we are definitely mostly white and tend to be Progressive or "libertarian"
the Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Bush family, English Crown all pay lobbyists to do perception management, including online
i'm saying all these racism/trolls are to tap into any resentment that underemployed or wife-pecked white non-Progressive educated people have
just trolling w/ racism gets the idea out there...then you get Obama on TV...
I completely agree that the "end user" and "edge provider" distinction in this case is absolutely ridiculous...it's an non-functional abstraction layer that has absolutely nothing to do with network engineering...there is an "edge router" but the distinction between "end user" and "edge provider" is not technical
however, we cannot be tempted to think that because this confusing, stupid distinction exists, **if we fix it, we fix Net Neutrality**...that's wrong
no matter what the language, it's about the data, and the free flowing thereof
the "end user"/"edge provider" distinction is the *mechanism* for the FCC's ruling, but the cause is *****unscrupulous telecos*****
the problem is that we have a car suburban orientation; change tax laws and zoning so people are packed into citys
actually this is pretty much right on...give or take
i live in Portland and I consider myself an expert on this kind of stuff b/c of my background (which is not important)...anyhow, you said it pretty well there
tax/zoning isn't a magic bullet, but with good traffic planning, there's no reason to have a huge clusterfsk in your city
Republican policies are VERY different from Democrat policies
Look at *any issue*...Net Neutrality, civil liberties, jobs, economic policy, foreign policy...Democratic policy positions are demonstrably different and *better*
another example?
Global Warming...
GOP'ers still deny pollution harms the environmnet
the policies of Democrats and Republicans are very, very different.
if you so dumb as to think that there is no difference between what Democrats and what Republicans do, by policy, then you're an idiot and should not be allowed to vote

(Of course the roles would be reversed if it was a Republican president and Democratic congress.)
yeah...what does this even mean?
are you saying that opposing political parties will do things to oppose one another?
why is that relevant?
this is /.'s problem....always have to have the false dichotomy...
why even mention Republicans as if they are rational actors?
they deny climate change...and try to put creationism into textbooks...you can't expect their policies/rhetoric to be taken seriously
you're an idiot
this move, treating all ISP's as "Common Carriers" has been pushed for almost a decade in IT policy circles
everyone, including every single tech company, wants this law
all techies want this law
you're getting what you want, then you say "bah...it's just *political*..."
you're the problem here...you're obstinate immature notions of how this country should work are ruining America
people like you are a pox upon Democracy
i'd love for *actual* Obamacare that was analogous to the Net Neutrality law!
the idea is, he would rather have the House/Senate pass a law than make a decree via the FCC
a Net Neutrality Bill would have been much better...
but b/c of idiots like *you* Obama now can't use that option
it's because of people like you that Obama can't do what you want
Headline should read "Common Carrier" because that's the option Obama picked....the strongest protection for users.
This is what we have wanted all along...the best protection for Net Neutrality
Damn /. or any troll/techies who try to downplay this move by Obama...he gave us *exactly* what we asked for
No Republican would do this.

the whole "Higgs Boson!!" hype makes me sick
the Standard Model is already obsolete...we know it is insufficient
all the CERN press was just hype
confirming (or not!) a model that we already know needs to be revised is the opposite of science
given a choice between you and him...well, he's the one who is right.
on what?
choice of analogy?
he chose that b/c it lent significance to his work...which was not new theoretical work but confirming a model we already know is incomplete
getting academic accoloades doesn't mean you are immune from criticism of language choices
"God particle" is not a good analogy...what about the Higgs/Boson does it help you understand?
it's more like trolling Creationists than anything else...
"god particle"....please
they are busy adding epicycles to their pet theories to try to accommodate reality (which, admittedly, is how science works)
yes...it definitely is analogous to epicycles
but you're wrong to say, "that's how science works"....that attitude is what causes people to have 'pet projects' in the first place
the problem is Academia has evolved to become bloated and cloistered...
if we were funding science well, and giving new scientists freedom, **we wouldn't have to have pet projects**
in Academia, a scientist is not encouraged to do new work...the typical mantra is to silo yourself and never truly experiment
this is about funding...and ego
they wanted to find the "God Particle" and don't care if it actually advances science
they didn't choose inductive reasoning from a list, after debating pros and cons...
the popular press (which loves "Science!") jumped on it...anyone w/ a PhD can convince a dumb journalist of anything
The notion of parallelism is fundamentally different for an analog computer...Describing it in terms of parallel processing with digital CPUs makes no sense.

one could also ask:
1. How long has this linkage ability been known?
2. What could international criminals & unscrupulous spy agencies do with it?
this is about artificial scarcity

yes, thank you

Global Warming...
GOP'ers still deny pollution harms the environmnet
basically, if you vote for any non-Democrat, you are helping Republicans
this false dichotomy talk is foolish and inaccurate
just look at Net Neutrality, among many, many examples...
Democrats are the only people in government promoting Net Neutrality
look at *any* policy issue and the Democrats are orders of magnitude more rational than Republicans
the policies of Democrats and Republicans are very, very different.
if you so dumb as to think that there is no difference between what Democrats and what Republicans do, by policy, then you're an idiot and should not be allowed to vote
