Comment Politics of envy (Score 4, Insightful) 1216

This is just typical anti-capitalist politics-of-envy bollocks. "Democracy starts to unravel"? Really? Getting paid the going rate *is* the sign of a free society. Attracting the best talent cost real money. I bet most of the commenters here don't complain when their favorite sportsperson gets paid millions.

Comment Melting ice does not change sea levels (Score 1) 335

Put an icecube in a glass of water. As it melts the water level will not change because the ice cube displaces the same volume of water as the amount that melts. In In the same way, sea levels will not rise even if all the ice on the sea melts. Check this video for an example. Nothing to see here, move along and thank you science!

Submission + - What to do when your page gets nuked by Google Search (wecheck.org) 5

sparkydevil writes: "Over the past few weeks I've been building up a wiki timeline of the attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, which is now the most comprehensive on the web. As the page grew and more blogs and sites linked to the page it moved up Google's search pages for the search term "Benghazi Attack Timeline" until it was the second listing on the first page. I had a few days of steady traffic (and pride) and then the page just completely disappeared from the search results. Completely gone without a trace. I didn't use any SEO tricks and the page has no ads, so I don't think it could be counted as spam. I don't think it's any kind of conspiracy. Has this happened to anyone else and how did you fix it?"

Submission + - Help crowdsource the authoritative Benghazi Attack Timeline (wecheck.org)

sparkydevil writes: "WeCheck, a collaborative wiki-based fact check that I set up a month ago, is attempting to crowdsource the authoritative timeline of the Benghazi attacks with some success — the page is already much larger than any other comparable timeline. I hope this could be a model of how to deal with a large amount of complex, time-sensitive information."
