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
August 31, 2011

Comments of the Week #62: from the dark ages to confirming relativity
"Perhaps in time the so-called Dark Ages will be thought of as including our own." -Georg C. Lichtenberg There was so much action on Starts With A Bang this week, from darkness to the brightest lights, that it's going to be a bear choosing what to highlight from the comments. Here's what this past week saw: The Universe's dark ages (for Ask Ethan), The logic that stumped Brooklyn…
Weekend Diversion: Chess is Almost Solved!
"There are some things we do much better than computers, but since most of chess is tactically based they do many things better than humans. And this imbalance remains. I no longer have any issues. It’s a bit like asking an astronomer, does he mind that a telescope does all the work?" -Vishy Anand It used to be no contest. Even if a computer could perform million, billions, or trillions of…
Science is what made America great (Synopsis)
"Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson hated each other so much. But that hate that they had for each other did not come before the love of their country." -David Scott You can't make America great 'again' without looking at what made us great in the first place. It wasn't industry or manufacturing or our morals or our military might; it was our investment in science, research and development…
