Just want to throw in my 2 cents: I use the Secret Weapon for my evernote tagging system. thesecretweapon.org

First of all I want to commend you on a calm and rational response. I don't take that for granted anymore when it comes to online discussion, and so I thank you for that.

I'm not sure what you mean about 'screening for risk of side effects'. We are always improving our methods, but there is no way to completely remove…

Measles is <.02% fatal in the first world. Measles is EXTREMELY contageous, that is a fact. However, in the 50 years prior to the introduction of the vaccine, infection rates continued to vary randomly by year with outbreaks, while deaths decreased from a high of around 12k per year to around 450 (http://jid.oxfordjour…

Young definitely has some misconceptions about the behavior of rape survivors. The evidence she supplied is really not evidence of anything and I believe her ultimate conclusion, that the attacker is actually the victim, was false. I also believe there is ample support for the opposite conclusion, that he is a serial…

I am a bit disappointed that this was so hard for the average car talk listener, i solved it in under 5 minutes. The nice part is that two of the statements are contradictory, thus one of them has to be true. Either the picture is in the gold box or it isn't, thus one of those statements must be true and the third…

I respect your decision not to respond, however, I'm going to reply anyway because your logic is flawed. My statement was "if it stops you from going at all". Thats "at all", not "sometimes" . Unless I misunderstood your post, you claim that there are certain activities you completely refrain from doing because…

*then

If it stops you from going at all the it is "I must".

I think that the more worrysome thing is not that you only have one friend, but that you aren't one of them. It's unfair to expect anyone, including your bf, to want to spend time with you when YOU DON'T WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU. Learning to enjoy being alone is one of the hallmarks of true maturity, and also gives…

I just started working on this even though I first read about it back when you started. Some notes for searching:

-Search several days after the target day as often the results return the day of the report, not the day of the incident

Someday soon science is going to discover that non-newtonian fluids hold the secret to superluminal travel, time travel, teleportation, psychic phenomena, ghosts, the loch ness monster, telekinesis, light sabers, the force, and, of course, God. All from corn-starch and water.

I use tap to pay on my Nexus 5, and have dealt with the lack of wide support since no one seems to care about NFC on android. I was excited when I heard about apple pay as I knew it would trickle down to android. So I think this coalition of retailers is rather funny. I'm amazed that anyone thinks they can get away…

what the fuck

I recently discovered that what the internet thinks means nothing to me. Whatever is said on social media or other online media has literally no power to affect me unless I choose to let it. I can't tell you how free I felt when I discovered that I could simply walk away from all this BS at any time by choosing to…

I think you need to brush up on the definition of appeal to authority.

Monroe is demonstrably not a fool, I agree with you on that. He may, in fact, even be an authority, IIRC he has a BS in physics (its not math, but I'll let it slide). And he may be correct about the riddle. But…

Maybe I should have said "he doesn't elaborate". I am aware he left it as an exercise to the reader.

Well, people were claiming to iavardera that he was unqualified to question such brilliant minds as Randall Munroe and the others who are officially trained in said discipline because he was a lay person. I was merely trying to point out that such a claim was invalid as it was a false appeal to authority (since ideas…

TL:DR, I believe the inductive proof simply 'doesn't rule out' the possibility there are 100 GED's. That is not the same as proving it to be true.

I'm familiar with inductive proofs, I have a few degrees to my name (including math). I'm also familiar with the ways in which a statement may be used to provide confirmation or refutation of a posited scenario. However, in strict logic, there is no nuance. Your appeal to philosophical inductive reasoning is flawed…
