Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…
Note to Unions: This Is Not How You Build a Coalition
September 1, 2011
The old saw that 'we hang together or we get hung separately' is a perfect description of how the left has disintegrated into irrelevance. Too often, groups will focus on modest gains for their own narrow constituency, while selling out other allies. Over the long term, each component of the…

Meet the New New Math, Same As the Old New Math? What We Can Learn from Finland

The big difference between 'Habitable' and 'Inhabited'
“Next to reasoning, the greatest handicap to the optimum development of Man lies in the fact that this planet is just barely habitable. Its minimum temperatures are too low, and its maximum temperatures too high. Its day is not long enough, and its night is too long... These factors encourage depression, fear, war, and lack of vitality. They describe a planet, which is by no means perfectly…
Sunday Function
We're doing two functions today. If I'm not mistaken we've done each of them separately, but there's a famous and interesting relationship between the two that's always interesting to look at. Like very many interesting mathematical facts, it has to do with the prime numbers. As such the first function is the log integral Li(x), usually defined in the following way: We'll plot it in a minute,…
We're gonna need a better tin foil hat (MIT invents X-ray Glasses!)
Those zany researchers at MIT are up to their usual shenanigans. They have come up with a device, which they call "our device," that sees through walls. Here is a video of how it works, complete with background music to make you feel perfectly comfortable with it: Here's their web site. Here is a LARGE FILE PDF with their paper describing the research. This is not new, but has been under…
