Proliferation of Niches: Authority and Politics
http://proliferationofniches.blogspot.com/2012/06/authority-and-politics.html
Thursday, June 7, 2012. 8220;Politics makes strange bedfellows” is the non-explanation for peculiar alliances often found in politics.

Of the family in politics and religion. Is nearly forgo...

Sunday, October 2, 2011. Evolution as Scientific Method, and Vice Versa. Evolution can be viewed as an implementation of the scientific method by nature. In each generation mutation and genetic recombination produce varied hypothesis (individuals), and these hypothesis are tested in the environment [sample hypothesis: a small-beaked Darwin's Finch. This duality is most clearly seen in the use of techniques such as genetic algorithms in computer programming. Here analogues to mutation and genetic reco...

Postgresql 8.4 Recursive Queries. Posted by Daniel Lyons on August 11, 2009. Apparently I missed the news: PostgreSQL 8.4 came out on July 1st! This release brings two new features and greatly improves one old feature. This post will be about recursive queries using. With the following table:. Unfortunately, from an implementation perspective, this structure sucks for doing many common operations: computing a string version of a path, for example, or listing all the descendants under a given node.

In doing so they reveal the philosophical, psychological, and theological underpinnings of their world-view: the argument from authority. Appeal to authority is a fallacy of defective induction, where it is argued that a statement is correct because the statement is made by a person or source that is commonly regarded as authoritative. Of being wrong is what makes evolution a scientific. Would be ...
