"Kevin Dunbar is a researcher who studies how scientists study things — how they fail and succeed. In the early 1990s, he began an unprecedented research project: observing four biochemistry labs at Stanford University. Philosophers have long theorized about how science happens, but Dunbar wanted to get beyond theory. He wasn’t satisfied with abstract models of the scientific method — that seven-step process we teach schoolkids before the science fair — or the dogmatic faith scientists place in logic and objectivity. Dunbar knew that scientists often don’t think the way the textbooks say they are supposed to. He suspected that all those philosophers of science — from Aristotle to Karl Popper — had missed something important about what goes on in the lab. (As Richard Feynman famously quipped, “Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornithology is to birds.”) So Dunbar decided to launch an “in vivo” investigation, attempting to learn from the messiness of real... more... - Neal Jansons from Bookmarklet

That's called "Natural Selection" <- Darwin - LANjackal

3 more comments

No, that's called UNnatural selection. It requires a contrived scenario and does not exist in the state of nature, nor does it tend towards evolutionary change because being rich or poor is not a genetic trait, it is a social trait. Or perhaps you are what is sometimes called a social darwinist? Note that Darwin himself was not one of those, as can be easily learned from his collected writings and correspondence. Also note that social darwinism is just a coded way of saying "might makes right". - Neal Jansons

Every year, it's the War on Wicca (well, paganism, but the point is there) - http://www.dailypress.com/news...

yesterday from Bookmarklet - Comment - Like - Share

"So it's happened again, just as it does every year around this time: A concerted effort to subvert the real meaning of the holiday and twist it into something far removed from its origins. To take an ancient and revered celebration and rebrand it. That's right – it's the annual War on Wicca. No, no. Just kidding. What I'm really talking about is the annual War on Paganism, of which Wicca is a small subset. That's right: Every year, pagan symbols and festivities stretching back thousands of years are co-opted in the name of Christmas. Without thanks or barest acknowledgment. Christmas trees everywhere, but no mention of the pagans and their reverence for evergreens or lighting the yule log to chase away midwinter gloom, and whose "Yule" is now synonymous with Christmas. No gratitude for evergreen wreaths and holly – pagan symbols of the feminine and masculine and of sacred cycles. None for borrowing Santa Claus – an iconic figure in various pagan cultures, from a fourth-century... more... - Neal Jansons from Bookmarklet

Parents Arrested After Causing Daughter's Death (and since it was faith-based it's again called manslaughter, not murder...again) - http://www.krgv.com/news...

Sunday from Bookmarklet - Comment - Like - Share

AJ Kohn liked this

"Maria De Jesus Coronado and her husband Elias Coronado are behind bars, charged with manslaughter. Investigators say they both acted out of faith, but it led to the death of their 16-year-old daughter Amanda. Last month, Maria Coronado removed the teen's insulin pump after proclaiming the girl was healed. Two days later the girl was dead. People who know the couple says she honestly believed God had healed the girl. "They wanted to help their daughter, and they believed it with all their hearts," says Rosa Moya. Willacy County Sheriff Larry Spence says the whole thing is a tregedy. "They were just people of strong faith, they had faith that God had healed her," he says. Both mother and father remain jailed on manslaughter charges." - Neal Jansons from Bookmarklet

Catholic Church Sued Over Political Robocalling, May Lose Non-Profit Status - http://www.nypost.com/p...

"Charging that the Catholic Church should lose its tax-exempt status, a consortium of atheists and Catholic activists filed two lawsuits against Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, Assemblymember Vito Lopez (D-Williamsburg) and the Catholic Diocese over their role in producing a recorded message sent to Williamsburg’s registered voters less than a week before they went to the polls. Led by NYC Atheists President Kenneth Bronstein and New Jersey-based priest abuse activist Reverend Robert Hoatson, the suits allege that DiMarzio violated Internal Revenue Service laws by recording a political message sent to voters in a hotly contested City Council election, which could cost the Church privileges enjoyed by its nonprofit status." - Neal Jansons from Bookmarklet

"I think non-profit status for religious orgs needs to be [revoked], period..." ...there; fixed that for you. - Christopher A Carr

But then what about the people who donate to charities that are run by religious orgs? They no longer get the tax incentive, and thanks to the "let someone else do it" attitude of the state, such groups do a large amount of alleviating the suffering of homeless and poor. - Neal Jansons from IM

I am Catholic and am getting progressively more sickened by the actions of the church. Especially in terms of trying to avoid responsibility for their own sins. - Wirehead

Legitimate charitable organizations, ok. Churches, no. - Christopher A Carr

But when the legitimate charitable organizations are run by a church? Take place at a church? When I was homeless in Santa Cruz, both the Elm Street Mission and St. Francis's Church fed us regularly. Without them, we were left with Food Not Bombs, which was only one day a week, or Feed the People, which was the same. Without those religious organizations, many people would have gone... more... - Neal Jansons from IM

robocalling. - edythe

At some point, it occurred to me that I could read Matthew 6:1-4 such that if you are giving money to charity, run by a church or not, with the intention of taking advantage of a tax incentive, you have received your reward. Maybe I'm wrong, after all my degree is in Engineering not Theology. - Wirehead

Either way, not all countries have the concept that churches are tax exempt. Furthermore, plenty of people give donations to charities and either neglect to keep records for tax time or are unable to. Yanking the Catholic Church's exemption won't stop their flow of money or ability to do good in the world. - Wirehead

Personally, if we're going to be painting things with a broad brush, there are plenty of 'charities' who exist largely to enrich themselves that are secular. It's not just the churches that are taking advantage of the situation. - Wirehead

It's fine by me if you run both, but your church and your tax-exempt charitable organizations ought to be separate entities. - Christopher A Carr

wow, I can't believe tomorrow is Friday :o) no, wait, somewhere in the world it's ALREADY Friday :o) - David Gross from email

It's already Friday in Japan. - Rick Cogley

the thing that strikes me about this (aside from the obvious) is after seeing this thing pop up like 35-40 times since March its just occurred to me that I don't have any (guy) friends that a) would lick my nipples b) would lick my nipples for a photograph.

NO, I DON'T NO. - Sparky

You use the phrase 'good work' so loosely there. - Sparky

How does this not have over 1000 comments yet? - Josh Haley

I think we should use this thread for the next ffundercats chatroom. - Josh Haley

... ...? - Mark "DerBingle" J

That would be great! - Matthew DeVries

The way you do it is post the next show, post a link to here, and then lock commenting. - Matthew DeVries

wow, those guys are still on the beach? - David Gross

People are getting lazy...1000 comments by September or you all lose the game! - Josh Haley

Wait, there was a game? I thought we were just bumping this to add to the overall absurdist trauma in the collective psyche? - Neal Jansons from IM

I haven't seen moobs in a while, I was beginning to forget what they look like. - Jimminy Fuller

Nice Glasses. - Ian May

Why hasn't this been bumped in over a day? *bump* - Jimminy Fuller

Rumor is that this isn't bumping up anymore so I'm trying it out. - Rochelle

:( - Akiva Moskovitz

It bumped - Matthew DeVries

:-) - Jordan Hofker

MOOBIES!!!! Wait wut was I doing? - Jimminy Fuller

The bumping algorithm includes things like novel people posting to it, in addition to thread age, and rapidity of comments. If the same 3 people are talking in a thread, it quits bumping because it's obviously a closed tea party. - Matthew DeVries

He said tea party. - Mattb4rd

Can't unsee this. - Matt Hilton

Yes you can unsee this. You just need to cheesegrater your eyes and the memory cortex of your brain. - Sparky

but waiter I didn't order the man boobies today - Noah David Simon

How does this work, again? - Aaman (Clone of FF)

Cool. Stir handles this post without crashing, giving it an edge over other Friendfeed apps. - Rob Haas

That. is. awesome. This post has now become a benchmark by which to measure the abilities of applications. - Victor Ganata

And some people think this post is worthless. It has worth, I tell you. Worth!@ - Akiva Moskovitz

You should really go through and moderate the off-topic posts Akiva - Matthew DeVries

Has Robert Scoble liked this yet?:) - Aaman (Clone of FF)

Somehow I missed this bumping back up to the top. I'm glad I clicked through to see it again. Poor Akiva! - Ladybug Heather

Why p[oor Akiiva? She will be famous for this one :o) - David Gross from email

LMAO!!! David, Akiva is a lady? - Jimminy Fuller

When will this ever leave my feed :( haha - Nicholas James

NEVAH!!! - Jason Huebel from iPhone

ALWAYS!!! - Sparky

Jimminy, I guess I just assumed.. Akiva is usually a woman's name in Hebrew.. - David Gross from email

David, huh? Tell that to Rabbi Akiva (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...) which is where the name comes from. - Rochelle

Akiva's a boy! He's not a girl! He's a boy! - Christopher Harley

LMAO, I'm surprised, that David never this belief sooner here. - Jimminy Fuller

Wishful thinking, perhaps. - Akiva Moskovitz

Why are my private beach photos on Akiva's feed? - Mike Nayyar from iPhone

Mike, I think it's because Akiva felt like sharing a picture of the back of his head, like always.(guy on the far right) - Jimminy Fuller

Totally can't be me, Jimminy. No kippah. - Akiva Moskovitz

I forgot, also you're a very handsome guy(saw the wedding images), I don't understand why you don't like to share your face. Rochelle is a lucky lady. - Jimminy Fuller

Jimminy, it's an irrational phobia. No different than people who are afraid of heights, spiders, clowns, or Canada. - Akiva Moskovitz

Oh, and thanks! You sly dog, you! - Akiva Moskovitz

I say again. WTH! - Give 'Em DBizness

Akiva, now I'm LMAO at the fear of Canada. People are actually afraid of Canada, or just the fact they don't know if they're British or French? - Jimminy Fuller

I don't think even Canadians know that difference. - Akiva Moskovitz

Leave Canada out of this. - Sparky from iPhone

Canada is cold a lot - Ian May

"When you do it, rub his belly. He likes that." - Rick Cogley

If it gets to 1000 will Akiva lock it so it can sink from our feeds forever? Please?!? - WorldofHiglet

I think locking this post would be un-FriendFeedian. - Jason Huebel

This is the immortal post everyone who uses the service must see it so WoH it just wouldn't be good to lock it. - Jimminy Fuller

Not everyone see's it, only the people with true class do. - Sparky

It is now September 1st, and this has not reached 1000 comments. I am sorely disappointed. Yet, for some reason, I am uplifted by the smile of this young man, who was fortunate enough to have such great friends that fateful day on the beach. - Josh Haley

Quick let's add some comments... Gee that guy on the far left is not really getting into the swing of things is he? - Travis Koger

Travis... bear in mind that we don't know what "main chubby guy's" right hand is doing, or where it's doing whatever it's doing... - Mark "DerBingle" J

BUT WE CAN INFER WHAT "MAIN CHUBBY GUY'S" HANDS ARE DOING. BOTH OF THEM. - Sparky

Welcome back, asian nipple lickers! - Jason Huebel

Who here hasn't licked a asian nipple or 2? - Matthew DeVries

This guy. - Jordan Hofker

On Fark, there was this one thread, that just kept growing and growing. On Fark, it was a single page per thread. And you could post images and gif inline. Well the thread wouldn't die, people just kept posting. I forget which one it was. Anyway, it got so monsterous, that few people going to read/post to it per day (which was only a handfull) accounted for 1/3 of the server load of the site. They eventually had to cull that thread. - Matthew DeVries

I think everyone who has participated in this thread has 'culled' themselves privately. - Akiva Moskovitz

ah - now that's the way I like to start the week! - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

This is how I always start my week. - Sparky

Licking asian nipples? I suppose that's one way to make your Monday brighter. - Jason Huebel

Anyone who doesn't appreciate this thread is clearly not developing a FriendFeed iPhone client because this is a great stress test case. (It crashes BuddyFeed, by the way.) - Akiva Moskovitz from iPhone

Matthew, you may have given some people more reason to keep bumping this thread. - Victor Ganata

this is probably the most popular feed of 2009 in FF. lol. - Bora Mesut PALAS

I think the one where Robert Scoble gave away money easily beats this one, but this post has staying power. ;-) - Jason Huebel

I think that Chinese at FF post was a marriage proposal thing. They were all trying to bump the guy's photo so that it would be the first thing his girlfriend would see when she logged onto FF. - Kamilah Gill

This is *just* what my Friday needed. - aden

Kamilah, that's possible but, for some reason, they link to this post, too. - Akiva Moskovitz

"Sam Webster has serious tech credentials. He has lived for decades in the San Francisco Bay area, a techie Mecca. Back in the early 1990s, before most people had even heard of the Internet, he was writing code for some of the early sites on the World Wide Web. He’s now a systems analyst, or, as he says, “I’m a geek for a living.” What Webster never envisioned himself as was a prophet. He’d been involved in a pagan group called the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (left) since the early 1980s, and in February 2001, he decided to hold a workshop on his religion in the Bay area. “I never thought it would catch on,” he admits, but people took a shine to the order. They decided to establish a permanent chapter in northern California. At the same time, Webster and his fellows were itching to remake themselves. The Hermetic Order grew out of Free Masonry and Kabbalah, a school of Jewish mysticism. “But we didn’t want to do the traditional things like adhere to secrecy,” Webster says.

"While we were all out doing our Christmas shopping, the highest court in the land quietly put the kibosh on a few more of the remaining shards of human liberty. It happened earlier this week, in a discreet ruling that attracted almost no notice and took little time. In fact, our most august defenders of the Constitution did not have to exert themselves in the slightest to eviscerate not merely 220 years of Constitutional jurisprudence but also centuries of agonizing effort to lift civilization a few inches out of the blood-soaked mire that is our common human legacy. They just had to write a single sentence. Here's how the bad deal went down. After hearing passionate arguments from the Obama Administration, the Supreme Court acquiesced to the president's fervent request and, in a one-line ruling, let stand a lower court decision that declared torture an ordinary, expected consequence of military detention, while introducing a shocking new precedent for all future courts to follow:... more... - Neal Jansons from Bookmarklet

Top 10 Reasons to Kill the Senate Health Care Bill - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jane-ha...

December 22 from Bookmarklet - Comment - Like - Share

"Top 10 Reasons to Kill Senate Health Care Bill 1. Forces you to pay up to 8% of your income to private insurance corporations -- whether you want to or not. 2. If you refuse to buy the insurance, you'll have to pay penalties of up to 2% of your annual income to the IRS. 3. Many will be forced to buy poor-quality insurance they can't afford to use, with $11,900 in annual out-of-pocket expenses over and above their annual premiums. 4. Massive restriction on a woman's right to choose, designed to trigger a challenge to Roe v. Wade in the Supreme Court. 5. Paid for by taxes on the middle class insurance plan you have right now through your employer, causing them to cut back benefits and increase co-pays. 6. Many of the taxes to pay for the bill start now, but most Americans won't see any benefits -- like an end to discrimination against those with preexisting conditions -- until 2014 when the program begins. 7.

December 17 from Bookmarklet - Comment - Like - Share

"America’s mainstream religious denominations used to teach the faithful that they would be rewarded in the afterlife. But over the past generation, a different strain of Christian faith has proliferated—one that promises to make believers rich in the here and now. Known as the prosperity gospel, and claiming tens of millions of adherents, it fosters risk-taking and intense material optimism. It pumped air into the housing bubble. And one year into the worst downturn since the Depression, it’s still going strong." - Neal Jansons from Bookmarklet

"Undersea archaeologists have found the ruins of an ancient city on the bottom of the Caribbean Sea, and researchers claim that it is the fabled and lost city of Atlantis. The satellite photos do show something that could be a city, and the researchers believe that what they've found would predate the pyramids of Egypt. Indeed they claim to be able to make out a pyramid and other city-like structures from the satellite photos. The archaeologists have so far refused to divulge their identities or the location in the Caribbean. They say they are raising money for an expedition to confirm their findings." - Neal Jansons from Bookmarklet

Do any potentially earth-shaking discoveries announced by anonymous folks with no evidence ever turn out to be true? I'm trying to think of one example... - Lo

@Lo - when they first discovered skeletons in the underground caves in the Yucatan, I believe those were reported without much information at first (some of those areas have HUGE problems with tomb theft) so that they would be able to secure the site. That's the only one I can think of. - Jennifer Dittrich

Not that I'm really optimistic about this one, mind you. It could be something cool, but it just seems so tiresome that everyone is always calling every underwater wreck of a city they find 'Atlantis!" - Jennifer Dittrich

Cool -- maybe it'll turn out to be something with that whole Bermuda Triangle thing, too. All just in time for 2012. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ

It's fairly common to be coy with the discovery of major new archeological sites, but the anonymity here is unusual. Why make an announcement at all? There is a possibility that they've noticed (or suspect) that another team is nearby and want to establish priority, but don't want to tip them off if they *aren't* already on the trail. But that's a stretch. - Michael R. Bernstein

Lo - usually they don't turn out to be true. Especially the ones that are 'raising money for an expedition to confirm their findings'. - Morgan Haley

Morgan, it isn't true for legitimate archeological digs (professional archeologists don't need this kind of publicity, and amateurs are often just wrong), but it *is* sometimes true of treasure-hunting expeditions. One doesn't need prior publicity to raise money, and the other does. - Michael R. Bernstein

This did get me thinking "what an awesome way to get a free dive trip with no consequences." But seriously, satellite photos? I bet it was just some college students looking at google earth. That said, I really hope it's Atlantis. - Lo

"Five people, including three police officers, have been indicted on charges related to the beating death of a Latino man in rural Pennsylvania in July 2008, the Justice Department said Tuesday. Two indictments charge the five with federal hate crimes, obstruction of justice and conspiracy in what authorities are calling a racially motivated attack. The indictments come almost six months after a Schuylkill County jury acquitted two teens of aggravated assault and one of murder in the death of Luis Ramirez. The undocumented Mexican immigrant was beaten into a coma during a street brawl involving the teens and their friends on a residential street in Shenandoah. The incident divided the small, rural mining town along racial lines and became a flash point for racial tensions nationwide." - Neal Jansons from Bookmarklet

"Studio bosses have shelved plans to film the final two instalments of His Dark Materials, despite the success of the first movie, The Golden Compass, two years ago. The film, based on the books by Philip Pullman and starring Elliott, Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, angered Catholics who accused it of promoting atheism. In the book trilogy, set in a series of parallel worlds, heroine Lyra fights the Magisterium, an evil organisation some have interpreted as being based on the Catholic Church. The Magisterium wields huge power and experiments on children. In a climactic battle angels fight each other and "God" is presented as a frail, ancient and powerless figure. Catholic campaigners in America organised a boycott of The Golden Compass. Right-wing US broadcaster Bill O'Reilly, of Fox News, attacked its release in 2007, calling it a "war on Christmas"." - Neal Jansons from Bookmarklet

I thought the film was supposed to have performed rather poorly compared to its cost to make and that there was a falling out with the writer/director? - joey

I thought part of the reason it performed poorly was because they changed the story. I liked the film - mostly because it's rare to see a film with a female heroine - but it really paled in comparison to the novel. - cecily

Yeah, I didn't think it was a success. I loved books 2 & 3 much more than 1, but the end is pretty freaking controversial. I was amazed they even considered a mainstream film. - Lo

Not according to Sam Elliot. And the movie did pretty good…made over twice its budget. - Neal Jansons from IM

Yet another reason I gave up Catholicism long ago. Would be nice if the Catholic Church actually paid more attention to Jesus' teachings. - Spidra Webster

I forgot about that, cecily. I know a lot of fans of the book who disliked the movie. Looks like they made $372,234,864 worldwide, but only $70mm of that domestically. I wonder how it did in DVD sales. HolIywood execs seem to look for the 'lead in' films and not be very creative these days.

I wondered how they were going to deal with Lyra's sexuality (book 3). Of course, once I realized how they cut the first movie off at the knees, I needn't have wondered, because it was obvious books 2 and 3 would never make it to the screen. - cecily

I loved the books. But there's no doubt Pullman is hostile to all organized religion. - Spidra Webster

I jus want good fantasy movies to keep getting made. I am still pulling for the third Narnia movie. - Neal Jansons from IM

Neal, was the second one any good? I heard mixed reviews and haven't seen it. - joey

I loved the first one and didn't know about the second. does it really exist? - Morgan Haley

cecily: regarding Lyra's growing into a woman, there shouldn't be any problem with that getting made into a movie. She's a badass, awesome heroine that can't remain a kid. Too bad they decided to shelve this whole deal. Bad call by them. They should do art for art's sake and not be pressured by anyone. If you wanna make a movie, make it. - Morgan Haley

Well, wasn't the trilogy basically espousing atheism and attacking Catholicism? I'm not placing any judgment on those stances, I'm just stating that this was, in fact, part of Pullman's plan. - Jason Huebel from Android

Morgan, it hasn't been my experience that we see characters mature from pre-teens to sexual human beings in serialized movies. Take the Potter kids, for example. Sure, there's snogging, but they don't actually do anything until after they become adults (as an epilogue to the final book). I had a feeling that parents would get upset at that part of Lyra's growth process if we ever saw a second or a third movie come to light. - cecily

Cecily, my first thought was "that's why there's fanfiction" (re: Potter kids getting it on). Which made me wonder if there's HDM fanfic... hmmmm. Also, I always thought it was weird that for a supposedly-atheist opus, HDM had all those unscientific elements (using the I Ching, etc). - Lo

"A man claims the Church of Scientology forced him to work as a “virtual slave” for 16 years at jobs ranging from washing pots and pans to restoring old films produced by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. John Lindstein says he was kept “busy, poor, tired, and uninformed” by Church of Scientology leader David Miscavige at the church’s ranch in Hemet, and feared that “things would get even worse if he did not work as ordered.” Lindstein’s Superior Court complaint alleges human trafficking and violations of hour and wage laws at the church’s “Gold Ranch” compound near Hemet, a semirural area east-southeast of Los Angeles. Lindstein says that from 1990 until 2006, starting when he was just 8 years old, he “performed this work as a virtual slave, working 16 to 24 hours days with no sleep, no time off and no personal freedom” at Gold Base, a mysterious and once-secret headquarters that “resembles a prison camp,” with razor wire, security guard patrols, surveillance posts and three roll calls each day." - Neal Jansons from Bookmarklet

David McCandless, who devised the graph and runs Informationisbeautiful, adds: There has never been a single documented case of fatal cannabis overdose. Also, the government's own figures don't tally. While drug figures from the Office Of National Statistics register 19 cannabis related deaths, the mortality stats from the same office log only 1 death. But even granted that, you can see how the media irrationally focuses on what isn't the biggest problem by any objective assessment. And this focus can distort public policy. What would this graphic look like if the death-rate were assessed per user of each drug? Marijuana would appear as less toxic than aspirin. Below the fold:" - Neal Jansons from Bookmarklet
