on: Senator Wants to Make the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act Even Easier to Abuse
I tried to fill out the email your congressman form, but it kept telling me I have to select an option even though I had filled out the whole thing (this was for the Missouri variant).

on: The most common errors in undergraduate mathematics
This is why I really like learning math through MOOCS (with pause/rewindable videos) despite them having a number of other drawbacks.

on: Replication Controversy in Psychology
Freud wasn't a scientist, he was a philosopher and clinician who talked about things that are now considered part of psychology. If you limit things to psychologists who were clearly scientists then things have pretty much been converging. There have been a few big shakeups particularly with regards to the rise and fall of behaviorism, but it is a bit of a stretch to call them "pretty much completely reject[ing] the findings of the previous generation" and similarly large shifts have occurred in other fields (c.f. phlogiston theory).

on: Court Rules That Yelp Must Unmask the Identities of Seven Anonymous Reviewers
Sorta, IANAL but that would put them into perjury territory which is a huge deal if they get caught. How likely that is depends on how smart they are, but its quite possible. For example, if any of the customers didn't pay in cash thats going to leave a paper trail.

on: Ask HN: Where are the interesting jobs?
How do you get a job in porn if you don't already know someone in the field? I never see job ads for it, and when I tried searching on Dice my query was "corrected" to "port".

on: Oakland robberies surge as investigations sputter
As someone from the St.Louis area I'd like to point out that the official crime rates are largely an artifact. The municipality called the City of St.Louis only covers a small amount of the actual city and includes most of the high crime areas.
