“A system that values obedience over curiosity isn’t education and it definitely...”
– Florida Teen Tried With Felony For Trying Science
A beautiful rant about misguided public science education and how the fear of punishment kills curiosity, especially for minorities because they tend to receive harsher punishments, and for the poor because punishments end up being harsher on them...

New report: Suburban poor now far outnumber urban poor, but services still aimed at the cities.

One in a Million: An Inspirational Story →
For a kid with autism, Jacob Barnett did a lot of communicating over the last two years. The 14-year-old Hamilton County boy (IQ 170) became history’s youngest published astrophysics researcher, spoke at a TEDx conference in New York, and appeared on 60 Minutes and on Time magazine’s website. All of this from a child who, a few years ago, was expected to have trouble ever tying his own shoes.

flower language has always been an intense source of disappointment for me
like, they all mean really generic things like “love” or “forever” or “i’m sorry”
i thought you could combine flowers
like you could just send someone a bouquet and from the combination of hibiscus and posies and tulips they’d understand “the rebel leader is dead, rendezvous at the docks at 8, bring the...

Recently, a survey of three decades of screening published in November in The New England Journal of Medicine found that mammography’s impact is decidedly mixed: it does reduce, by a small percentage, the number of women who are told they have late-stage cancer, but it is far more likely to result in overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment, including surgery, weeks of radiation and potentially...

20 Percent of Anorexics Are Men: GQ →
As recently as a decade ago, clinicians believed that only 5 percent of anorexics were male. Current estimates suggest it’s closer to 20 percent and rising fast: More men are getting ill, and more are being diagnosed. (One well-regarded Canadian study puts the number at 30 percent.) It’s unclear why, but certainly twenty years of lean, muscular male physiques in advertising, movies,...

like honestly.
start with a function that can be expressed as the product of two functions, u and v.
uv
take the derivative of that function
(uv)’=u’v+uv’
so
u’v=(uv)’-uv’
Integrate that shit
∫ u’v = ∫(uv)’ - ∫uv’
and of course the ∫(uv)’ is just uv.
∫ u’v = uv - ∫uv’
WHAT
I appreciate this post. I appreciate integration by...
