  1. It's because they're supposed to be responsible.

    PLEASE.

    Yap. It's the editor of the devil.

  3. Well, to be fair, that's every other spacewalk. They just don't bother highlighting the fact that it's all-male.

    Yeah, but they actually want to kill the bacteria, not just feel like they are killing the bacteria.

    Here you go. It's for contaminated water, but closest I could find.

    Eh. Entire field of computer science is "U.S.-designed exam". Try coding in any computer language other than straight machine code without some understanding of English. It helps to be the people who built the playing field, when you want to dominate the playing field.

  7. Nothing of any consequence. You got everybody. U.S. and BRIC countries.

    Yeah. I thought Arms Control Act was finally repealed and Google could exercise some real power.

    Don't you mean the sandworms and the spice they produce?

    No, something of negative value was "lost".

  14. He's a millennial. He probably uses Gmail, which uses subject header (and timestamp) to thread, ignoring References and In-Reply-To.

  15. But what about for women? Or for heterosexual men?

    Right. Because nothing is more scientific than researchers refusing to share data. Proprietary information is bedrock of scientific progress; don't break it.

  17. Because Excel will give you a 2D representation to work with from the cropped picture; to use 3D modeling program, you need to take photos of the table from multiple perspectives, in order to build a 3D model.

    Finally, UC should consider just requiring it's authors to put their articles in a non-copyrighted form on Xarciv before sending them to elsevier. They won't save money but if they genuinely want free access to all UC author pubs it's already available to them. I think it's all about money and not about free access

    Um, most authors (at least the ones I know at UC Berkeley) already do this (assuming you meant arXiv). But the most valuable part of a journal article are citations. It's a pain looking for the preprint version on arXiv when you are doing a literature search to see what's been published already. Requiring arXiv publication will accomplish nothing while annoying the few who don't already do it.

    Blame the disparate impact judicial reasoning. To prove that one is an equal-opportunity employer, it isn't enough that you don't discriminate; you must be able to prove that you don't have practices that unintentionally result in "discriminatory" outcomes. And in order to prove that, they must collect racial data, so that under disparate impact analysis, they can prove that their hiring practices don't have a discriminatory result.
