These are people who analyze and predict the health of countries. Of course their results are more politically motivated than evidence based. Would it even be ethical to tell a truth that would cause an economic disaster? If economists had known in advance of one of the great depressions that it was going to happen, and releasing the results would of only sped-up the collapse, should they release the information? And it will always be better politically for the government to be just as surprised as everyone else when things go belly up, instead of being the president who predicted, but was unable to solve, the coming collapse.

He had already destroyed his career, parole conditions or not.

No it was not. It was an experiment, they might of had some idea of what they thought was going to happen, but the entire point was to try and see. They were hoping that something would happen, but the more unexpected and interesting the result the better, really.

Nothing was done to him that has not been done and worse to people caught with a few joints in their pockets. Almost 1% of americans go to prison, the vast majority for minor non-violent crimes. They are not only threatened with decades in the can, but actually do not have anyone willing to stand behind them and fight it, and did not stand 1/100th the chance that he did.

non-profit is nothing but an advertising term anymore.

Which does not mean that JSTOR is bad itself.

He has stood up for what he believes in, that people who commit suicide are cowards.

His life was never ruined by the prosecutors. His life was ruined by his poor decision to kill himself.

Because it was none of their business?

Can I spend bitcoin? Trade for goods with gold?

Or how about even the energy required to gather and use that energy? One barrel of oil costs a non-insignificant amount of energy to extract from the ground, and a non-insignificant amount to transport, and a non-insignificant amount to convert into electricity. Electricity that is then efficiently converted into work and results. Yes it costs X amount of energy to smelt the steel and weld it together, let alone light the factories and transport the materials and mine the ore (feed the workers?), but all of that is probably only happening at about a 10% efficiency.

If Wikimedia Commons works anything like Wikipedia, it will probably all be deleted in a week as "not important enough".

A psychological experiment cannot be called innocuous before the results are in. Who knows, maybe a extremely depressed person is 20 times more likely to commit suicide if they see that the world is 100% perfectly happy and positive.

How does that make any sense? I am selling a counterfeit item, of course I am selling it at below retail as there is risk involved for the client, and they must pay with cash as well. That does not mean that the retail price is too high, anymore than someone picking a twenty dollar bill up off the floor has twenty dollars too little in their bank account.

I know in Canada any tiny percent native american is enough for status. Any idea what percentage you need for the minority tag?

So basically everyone who is not an Asian?
