Myrmecos goes home
July 21, 2010
After some consideration, I have decided to move Myrmecos back to its original location: http://myrmecos.net/ I apologize for making everyone change RSS feeds and bookmarks twice in recent months. What's worse, I can't promise that Myrmecos won't move again in the near future. Some intriguing…

Note: For most polls, I needed to vote first to see the results. I voted alternately for Sanders and Clinton in doing so.

This study examines the Dynamics of Conflicts in Wikipedia ... we build up samples of controversial and peaceful articles and analyze the temporal characteristics of the activity in these samples. On short time scales, we show that there is a clear correspondence between conflict and burstiness of activity patterns, and that…
15 antivaccine tropes for Christmas
Christmas is over, and we're in that weird time between Christmas and New Years Day, when, usually at least, I have to work but so many people are out and so few patients seem to want to come in that it hardly seems worth the effort.
