Jeremy Lin: Even Kobe bows to his star power
By Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports
NEW YORK – Somehow, the most improbable story in NBA history found
himself
in the most improbable place on Friday night: The ball in his hands,
Madison
Square Garden on its feet, and the fourth quarter genius of Los Angeles
Lakers star Kobe Bryant determined to obliterate this burgeoning
mythology.
Out of Bryant, had come a barrage: twisted, contorted fades, a self-pass

以及《扩展表现型》对进化论贡献不小。他有不少畅销的著作,并经常在媒体上发表言

转基因玉米的神话

张礼标等人的研究对象就是犬蝠。资料图片
今年的“搞笑诺贝尔奖”出现了两个不同寻常的突破:一是荷兰物理学家盖姆成为首位“双料诺奖得主”,既拿过正经诺贝尔,又得过搞笑诺贝尔;一是中国大陆的科研人员正式登陆该奖项。由广东昆虫研究所副研究员张礼标领导的一项关于犬蝠交配活动的研究获得搞笑诺贝尔生物学奖。此前,来自台北医学大学和日本北里大学的中国科学家曾于2008年和2009年入选这一奖项,但他们均非获奖研究的主要负责人。
研究成果 开始时没那么“另类”
为什么科学家要研究果蝠的交配活动呢?张礼标表示,自己是2006年到广东省昆虫研究所工作的,因为硕士、博士期间一直做的就是蝙蝠研究,所以他参加工作后也准备继续做这方面。“刚开始的时候是打算观察果蝠类动物犬蝠(Cynopterus sphinx)的筑巢行为,偶然间发现了交配行为,然后才专门设计实验来研究犬蝠的交配行为的。等到做完实验之后,在统计分析时才发现,犬蝠在交配过程中口部辅助行为较常见。”也就是说,开始时的“筑巢研究”很常规,后来变成了同样比较常规的“动物行为研究”,而“另类”的结果完全是意外。

今年的搞笑诺贝尔奖已经开奖,引发全世界的关注。搞笑诺贝尔奖(The Ig Nobel Prizes)是在美国举行的一项年度奖项,是对诺贝尔奖的搞笑模仿,一般在每年的10月初颁奖。其主要奖励那些“不同寻常”或者“细碎”的科学研究成果。之所以设立这个奖项,其目的是为了奖励那些“乍看起来让人发笑,但是随后发人深省”的研究工作。
奖项的主办方是科学幽默杂志《不可思议研究年报》(Annals of Improbable Research,AIR),颁奖典礼的举办地点是在哈佛大学的桑德斯剧院,获奖者随后还要前往麻省理工学院进行公开演讲。但是不要小看这个奖项,它的评委里面很多都是真正德高望重的学者,是货真价实的诺贝尔奖获得者。
第一届搞笑诺贝尔奖于1991年颁出,当时的口号是“奖励那些不能也不应该被复制的发现。”每年的奖项一共10个,对不同领域的研究工作进行评选,其中包括和正式诺贝尔奖同样的物理,化学,生理学/医学,文学和和平奖。但是它还有一些真正的诺贝尔... 阅读全帖

查尔斯的自传由英国王室传记作家史密斯(Sally Bedell Smith)操刀,详实纪录他和卡米拉的情史,他们1971年由友人介绍相识,进而开始交往,查尔斯欣赏卡米拉脚踏实地、热爱乡村和对时尚不感兴趣等特点,他们有共同的幽默感,而卡米拉总是愿意倾听他的心声。

The more people are exposed to socialism, the worse they behave
Jul 19th 2014 | From the print edition
“UNDER capitalism”, ran the old Soviet-era joke, “man exploits man. Under
communism it is just the opposite.” In fact new research suggests that the
Soviet system inspired not just sarcasm but cheating too: in East Germany,
at least, communism appears to have inculcated moral laxity.

标 题: 香港司法的案例分析——证人完全不重要
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Sat Jan 17 13:55:22 2015, 美东)
http://bbs.tianya.cn/post-develop-126893-1.shtml
我一直不明白,在辩控双方的证人都支持被告的情况下,法官如何能给被告定罪。
按我们普通人的理解,基于刑法的无罪推论,只有当控方的理据压倒辩方,法官才有可
能给被告定罪。只有在看到了检察官与法官之间的对话,我才明白,法官的判决其实不
在乎有无证人,也不在乎双方证人说什么,都能给被告定罪的。
检察官对法官说:“如果你先否定被告的呈词,那么,他的证人说什么都没有意义
了!”
法官于是做出以下判决:“虽然被告的证人诚实又有经验,但因为我完全不相信被
告,所以证人为被告辩护的基础不存在。当然,我明白不能因为我不相信被告就给他定
罪,检察官已毫无疑点地证明被告有罪了,我完全相信检察官。因此,我判定,被告罪
名成立!”

Media questions and answers on radionuclide detection
Vienna, 23 April 2013
1. How come the detection was made so late (when you said on 12 March that
it was improbable)?
A: The main detection was made on 8 and 9 April, a smaller one from 12 to 14
April. Detection of radioactive noble gas more than 7 weeks after an event
is indeed unusual, we did not expect this and it did not happen in 2009. We

中国“私募一哥”的覆灭
ALEX W. PALMER 2016年3月30日
At 10:33 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1 of last year, the highway police in Ningbo,
an industrial city on China’s eastern coast, posted a seemingly innocuous
message to their official microblog. “Due to sudden traffic control,” the
message read, “all the entrances and exits of the G15 Expressway at
Hangzhou Bay Bridge have been closed.... 阅读全帖

来自主题: Military版 - 达氏进化论的逻辑尴尬
"达尔文的理论的最大弱点是无法解释过于复杂的结构".
完全错误。
生物多样性和从简单到复杂的演化过程,没有比达尔文进化论更有效,更elegant的理
论了。
理解不了但有兴趣的可以读Richard Dawkins的 Climbing Mount Improbable,很好的
阐述了这个问题。进化很多人误解是要垂直跨越一座悬崖,其实进化的进程是悬崖另一
边的缓坡,无数很小的台阶组成的,很小的变化一步步积累起来的。

来自主题: Military版 - 磁炮实战效益的文章
三年多来,我已经写了三篇有关电磁炮实战效益的文章。一如我一生的原则,这些分析
都只基于绝对客观的事实与逻辑,对大众流行的说法和心理的欲望,完全无视。我也知
道一般人(包括许多成名的学术人员在内)没有能力轻易放下主观的偏见、专注在理性
的思路上,所以也就难怪留言栏里的质疑不断,很多读者面对铁桶一样密不透风的逻辑
论述,仍然向其猛力衝撞,希望能打出一条裂缝。
事实上,我的分析涵盖了空气动力学、弹道学、电子技术、电力技术、商业宣传、组织
结构、以及军事战术和战略上的考量,本身就很複杂;很多细节的讨论,又零零星星地
分散在留言栏里,所以我想在此爲大家做个总结,顺便设身处地地为不愿接受负面结论
的读者,指出有一丝可能的救赎(Possible but improbable Salvation)方向。
首先开宗明义,这里说的电磁炮就只是轨道炮;綫圈发射装置,如电磁弹射器,已知是
实用的,但原理不同,不适合用来发射Mach 5及以上的高速弹丸。其次,因爲工程问题
能否解决,不是纯依逻辑就可以事先预测的,所以我们忽略电磁炮身管发热所带来的射
