[reposting from a previous submission that didn't get any traction]

If anyone wants a good idea for a startup in the academic journals space, I'd recommend looking into vetting peer reviewers as part of the article submission/review process. There have been a few high profile cases of people faking their peer reviews recently. At Sage we dealt with a big case of that earlier in the year and retracted 60 papers. A new case this week seems like it involves 5 published papers and a bunch that got caught before being published. Note that both those cases (and some more) use ScholarOne as the submission management platform.

In particular, the new hotness in the academic journal world is open access journals, and OA journals need to be particularly careful about bad stuff slipping through peer review. A few OA journals from Hindawi just lost their impact factor (source: http://scholarlyoa.com/2014/10/14/the-scientific-world-journ...), not due to outright peer review fraud, but due to other "abnormal citation patterns". For OA journals getting or losing an impact factor has a HUGE impact on the # of submissions (which are directly tied to revenue), so there's a big need to ensure you don't get caught with your pants down when it comes to the peer review process. So if you had a product that gave a publisher higher confidence in the integrity of the peer review process I imagine you'd be able to get a number of bites from big and small publishers alike.
You are right, my conclusion was linking happiness with mixed economies, that was not from the report--the link is intuitively obvious to me, but likely hard to prove.

I've seen a study in the past showing the relationship between happiness and financial income. It showed that happiness largely peaked when you had enough money to support your basic needs and do a few extra fun things. Any additional income didn't do much to help people feel happier.

So, my conclusion based on that was that a mixed economy where everyone's basic needs are largely met seems like a good way to keep it's population basically happy. The study seemed to validate that somewhat.

In contrast in the US where the growing bottom percent of the population faces stress over basic needs, and many in the middle class are one health care diagnosis away from bankruptcy seemed like a good indicator that the current American economic system is not ideal, and has a clear direction that it could take to solve these issues.
Bacteria have methods of exchanging DNA between individuals ("horizontal gene transfer") that termites (presumably) do not.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_conjugation

(Also, it's you're just stating a singe data point ("Bacteria have a biomass comparable to plants and animals") it's rather annoying to not actually state it and to instead just give a cite, forcing the reader to click on your link to find out something they could have just read. It's as if I had only said "Bacteria are different than termites" and had given you my link.)
The entire scam seems to be possible because there is no attempt at confirming the credibility of the people presuming to actually do the peer review. This type of decentralized authentication is precisely what PGP is particularly good at.

I have to imagine that it would be trivial to design a system which would simultaneously ensure that only the actual scientists would be able to peer review a paper based on other (recognized) scientists signing their keyring.

Journals of higher credibility (Nature, Cell, etc..) might even require reviewers that had more authority/signatures on their keys.

More likely, they will take your $500, drive you around in their trunk for a few days while extracting another $1500, then let you go under the promise to keep paying $100 per week until your original balance runs out and never talk to the police, or else they'll come back to kill you and your loved ones.

You may keep paying afterwards... or you may not. But even if they do not follow on their threats, $1K each for a weekend of "light work" is still pretty good money.

Pretty cool, zombie mode morning with addition only and number limit of 30: "You scored 504. You are better than 100 %"

Updated 2: I tried raising number limit to max (1000) and suddenly life on hard mode. I got through 272/16 and 930/31, but third question 127 * 49 killed me. "You scored 64. You are better than 27 %"

I think that's simplistic. It lets any energy source with access to seawater store energy in a very energy-dense medium, eg gasoline.

Net Neutrality Twitter Debate Between Marc Cuban and Ben Popper
This is just an incorrect assumption in my opinion. Say you are running on Microsoft Azure for example. There are no uptime SLA unless you run your service on at least two machines, because machines needs to reboot, be upgraded etc.

Also, if you take a look at perf when running PG on for example Azure or EC2, you will realize that IO is pretty slow but nodes are cheap. So you want to scale out early.

Running stuff on a single machine sounds like a perfect single point of failure to me. The actual size of the data does not affect wheter single point of failures are acceptable in a business.

I've seen so many people recommend PGSQL, saying its very simple, but when actually asked about how to set up a simple cluster which fulfills the absolutely basic requirements, then everyone just responds somethin similar to what you wrote. I find it very annoying to be honest.

If you were to enter in a valid email address of someone who did order something, they give up a ton more data. I personally like the notion of having an entire account control panel for your users, one section being shipping where you can spell all this out.

Right now, I know someone, not personally, but someone pretty high up at google.com that has ordered one of these on a whim. I would also estimate, that if the product was backed by VC or Angels, this person would not have had to order one, but a box of 10 would have been and delivered to his whatever his location was at the time.

Why you should use the Eclipse compiler in Intellij IDEA
I think in every modern libc implementation exception handling imposes no extra cost on function calls. In fact, exceptions might well make code faster, as you can take a bunch of error checks out of hot code paths. Pretty much the only downside is the complexity of implementing exceptions for libc maintainers and some extra space in the binary to store information that make the stack unwinding possible, but that data is far, far away from the crucial .text.

So exceptions are very expensive when you cause one, but for free or even an improvement when you don't.
I think the biggest concern about cyclists is the I-don't-give-a-damn attitude (entitlement). I understand the reasons to run a red-light when safely clear to do, but when the action affects other users of the road, such as on a busy road, that's when it's a no-no (for example, I almost got sidelined by a cyclist running the bike downhill on a sidewalk as I was pulling out of the garage on my motorcycle). Take my opinion with a grain of salt as a fixed gear cyclist and motorcyclist. (And I do try to observe the law on my pedal bike.)

Cyclist red light running does affect pedestrians. Consider this guy who was killed in NYC. [1]

We all have to share the road. For cyclists, motorists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians in no order.

Android isn't perfect (case in point: it should support saying "yes I want to install the app, no it can't have the permissions it asked for"), but at least it isn't iOS; I'm not going to stick with a feature phone until someone comes up with the perfect smartphone OS. If someone comes up with a service better than Uber, I'll switch. (For instance, I do plan to try Lyft next time I'm in a city it supports, to see if the experience is better.)

> Sexual reproduction is a huge evolutionary benefit.

It's not clear that this is the case. Many bacteria, fungi and plants do not appear to reproduce sexually and are highly successful.

Evolution by natural selection does require that there is variation between individuals, but there is variation even in asexually reproducing species due to mutations and errors in DNA replication.

Why, it's nice? Throw several worker processes in and you can easily handle 1000 rps per VM.

And no, you don't really need global variables in frontend that much; and backend PHP programs (which you should not do of course) have long-lived global variables.
Parthenogenic species generally have some trick to avoid the otherwise-inevitable effects of co-evolving parasites and sudden environmental changes. Frequently, they are parthenogenic only under some circumstances--there is a parthenogenic species of fresh-water fish that responds to environmental stress by shifting over to sexual reproduction.

Purely parthenogenic species also have genetic tricks to play. There is a purely parthenogenic snake that is triploid (three copies of every chromosome instead of the more usual two) which likely allows it some more "freedom of expression", genetically speaking.

So while you're right that sexual reproduction is a huge evolutionary benefit, parthenogenesis is such a huge benefit to the single parent (it gets 100% of its genes into every offspring instead of a mere half!) that under the right circumstances it will be strongly favoured.

In the case of these termites, its only new queens that are the product of parthenogenesis, and it isn't obvious that this is the only way new queens can be produced, so the typical limits are relaxed.

>Should the law take this into account...

Definitely not. Doing so is to much of a slippery slope when extended to drugs/alcohol or anything else that has the effect of lowering inhibitions or increasing the likeliness of committing a crime where one might otherwise not.

That said I agree with your point there is a blurring of the line. Whereas in your example, one would have to actively go to someones private property and peep through a window until they caught what they were looking for, versus the internet where a picture practically comes to you, your only act is clicking (tptacek touched on this...maybe could be termed "lowering the barrier to criminal behavior"). So while the victim impact is the same as you say (I might even argue online is worse because there is greater/continued victimization), the acts are different in nature. Blurring the line further is that culturally the internet pictures are normalized in the sense that they are practically marketed via traditional news, social media and late night comedians as things to see rather than condemned as acts of victimization.

You can do web stuff in Erlang. It's just that it's not like Rails, where you start it up and it's easy to do so much with so little code. Since there's not as much infrastructure, you have to do more yourself.

The Powerful Predictor Behind Successful Relationships
As far as I can tell, I interpreted that page correctly. When a company approaches a bank to make a trade, there is no relationship of trust and confidence between them (unless there's some specific legal promise that says otherwise). Why do you think there is/should be? That page gives examples of people in such relationships: corporate officers, directors, employees, friends of employees, etc, who use a company's private information to trade for themselves.

But when a company (rather than some privileged employee), approaches a bank, and reveals that it wants to make a trade, it has no special relationship with the bank.

Another thing is that the meaning of "securities" is quite specific, and doesn't cover commodities. I don't think this would be insider trading even with securities.

Yet another downside of very broad interpretations of insider trading is that if someone invests time and effort into studying market conditions, the resulting research is non-public, yet they would be perfectly justified in trading on their own non-public information. It is only specific cases of non-public information obtained through privileged access that are insider trading.

A bank having access to a company's order flow by having that company reveal the flow to them is not engaged in insider trading, it's just doing a good job of participating in the market and studying market conditions. Someone else who wants to buy/sell the commodities from the bank gets a better price as a result. If the bank didn't have a good idea of the market conditions, it would offer worse prices to compensate itself for the uncertainty.
