What happens if you single out? An experiment
We present an experiment investigating the effects of singling out an individual on trust and trustworthiness. We find that (a) trustworthiness falls if there is a singled out subject; (b) non-singled out subjects discriminate against the singled out subject when they are not responsible of the distinct status of this person; (c) under a negative frame, the singled out subject returns significantly less; (d) under a positive frame, the singled out subject behaves bimodally, either selecting very low or very high return rates. Overall, singling out induces a negligible effect on trust but is potentially disruptive for trustworthiness
Civil Wrongs
The Bush administration promised not to single out Arabs and Muslims with measures, but in practice it did exactly that. These measures signaled to and non-citizens alike, that American legal protections did not really apply little in the way of fightin
Point/Counterpoint: Blanks Fired
The following post is part of a series meant to conduct and spark a friendly philosophical discussion of broadly visible themes. It is not our intent to single out any one group or person, and by no means should the points expressed herein be regarded as any kind of attack on either the reenacting community or academia.

MaxEnt assisted MaxLik tomography
Maximum likelihood estimation is a valuable tool often applied to inverse
problems in quantum theory. Estimation from small data sets can, however, have
non unique solutions. We discuss this problem and propose to use Jaynes maximum
entropy principle to single out the most unbiased maximum-likelihood guess.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, presented at MaxEnt conference in Jackson, WY,
