Bah, they got nothing on mothers.

True but not everyone immediately makes the connection from "companies are tracking everything I do on the web" to "looking up the strange symptoms my friend has could result in my health insurance company raising my premiums".

What laws were the control group regularly breaking?

Killer robots are nothing more than really advanced booby-traps.

When you go to buy a car, Superfish hires a team of gnomes to destroy the original documents, such as fliers or the title to your car, and replace it with their own documents with their ads included. If they were signed documents, then they forge the signatures as well.

Nothing, you merely confused "changes in the sun's brightness" with "changes in the Earth's albedo", added an exaggeration, and then pretended climate scientists are idiots. Same sort of thing that has been going on for millennia; don't like the news, shoot the messenger.

The objective of most news media is not to spread the truth, but rather to attract eyeballs. Hence the number of intentionally misleading headlines and reporting, and especially the choice of topic.

No, legitimate terrorist attacks are an attempt to force political change by use of intimidation or force (and a threat is intimidation). This doesn't work if the targets don't know the attacker or what the attacker wants.

Oh but it won't be so long once we genetically modify ourselves to be intelligent enough to understand those genetics.

Yes, but few people have the self-awareness to list what they actually find attractive rather than what they think they ought to find attractive. And it's further complicated because the traits that would be attractive for a short-term relationship aren't the same as the ones for a long-term relationship. This is exactly the sort of situation where you want to use science to find the truth.

Indeed. It's always nice to know who to thank for some research, and also whether there is potential for systematic bias in the experimental setup (ie, the scientist is also part of the experiment, and not immune to preferring one result or another due to financial or personal considerations -- also why double-blind studies exist). Hiding a conflict of interest is not only bad ethics, but also bad science. There are many ways to deal with bias, but pretending it's not there ain't one of them.

Yes, it was no surprise he had other ethical problems. It was only a question of how Soon it would get found out.

Certainly, but most people want to make a good first impression. And most people here are willing to study how to do that. Or are you suggesting that people here should not be true to themselves, that in this special case they should go with their gut instead of studying and learning from more knowledgeable people like they would any other issue?

You mean that parental control has to involve parents!?! Oh, the humanity!

Compare this to eg putting a bounty on a guy. It had nothing to do with the murder, it was just a financial incentive, right? And yes, a comparison to murder for hire is appropriate as we are talking about assholes who put other people's lives at additional risk for their own financial gain.

The duration of a yellow light ought to be based off of maximum safety, not financial gain from additional tickets.
