I'm a couple of weeks into my first year at Princeton, so I can try to answer questions if people are interested. Not sure if there are any other Smogoners here, given that chaos is no longer pursuing his PhD.

Perhaps he's in the wrong field. You don't always need to blatantly falsify data if you want to deceive the public. In nutritional science, all you need to do is cherry pick variables and results. Is behavioral science subject to similar tactics?

wip Oarmagod ... Sculkraken or Scullkraken "Sculling" -- rowing a boat and references Gyarados's old name of "Skulkraken" in the Red and Blue beta

It's called Vivaldi! I gave the first tech preview a shot but uninstalled it because it felt incomplete. They've since updated, so I may download it again... highlights include quick commands akin to the Command Palette in Sublime Text, if you're familiar with that; a built in notes panel that...

I did not mention it on any of my applications.

It's also worth noting that a 3.4 GPA will make it very difficult to get into any of the "good" schools without a very compelling and unique reason for them to let you in.

rejected from Harvard, got into Princeton. now I have to decide between that and cal...

Got the Regents' scholarship at UC Berkeley, so I'll probably be going there (still waiting on Harvard decisions, but after rejections from both Stanford and MIT I'm not optimistic :P). e: also got into carnegie-mellon but money's not going to be as good

Accepted into USC and am competing for one of their full-tuition scholarships. :]

I like the idea of phazing moves, but I think they can become more potent if we combine them with a trapping move. The biggest problem with trapping moves is that more often than not they're going to trap a counter to your own Pokemon. Your opponent can simply switch in something else and eat...

The problem with a concept like this is we will never be able to evaluate the Pokemon's effects on "centralization" via the playtest because the playtest is always centered on the CAP. While we can still learn from most playtests as to how well the CAP fitted its concept, a CAP concept that...

That's the thing, though. It's a cycle: EPL teams get more revenue via TV or whatever, giving them more money to lure better players. "EPL is better" is a self-fulfilling prophecy. And I think it'd be hard to find a more competitive top-flight league from top to bottom. From what I've heard...

How many apps do you need for note-taking? Evernote is on both platforms... I would also be willing to bet that several people in this thread are comparing their experience with a ~$200 Android tablet to a ~$400 iPad (especially the battery life complaints). Compare like for like. If you're...

http://thewirecutter.com/leaderboard/tablets/ The Wirecutter makes a good case for their pick in all their reviews because they try to do a thorough examination of what's on the market. Even after picking something they'll detail why they picked it and possible alternatives if you have...

I can't speak for Knots, but "you shouldn't deny something until you've tried it" sounds like a terrible philosophy. I haven't tried arsenic, but... You seem offended that people won't accept TCM at face value and accuse them of bigotry because of it... but all they're doing (or at least, all...

Just keep in mind that the schools that top the highest-paid statistics / highest return-on-investment are there pretty much because they only offer tech/engineering majors. Harvey Mudd tops return-on-investment lists, but when you look at individual majors, it's different -- not even top five...

well you've definitely convinced me you belong in pittsburgh

Yeah, and the problem is that that feeling of "knowing that it works" can't be distinguished meaningfully from taking a sugar pill and "knowing that it works". You haven't controlled for the placebo effect. Are you referring to this incident? Note that the man in question was "treated with a...
