I'd expected more politicians and less science, and seeing as they give away more science awards... I was expecting them and Berkeley to be much lower on the list. Those where the two most striking.

Not too verbose, would be my recommendation. Though, that may be because I have the tendency to be rather wordy and I suspect they are currently all pressed for time. This is the third time it has come up recently, at least for my comments.

Neat. It's still fairly new. It doesn't appear to prohibit collaborations, though it doesn't seem to emphasize them. I only skimmed their site and Wikipedia. There's probably room for lots of prizes, without diluting the

The closest I've come to that was helping somebody attend a conference. That's a good idea, I think.

Don't be bashful, email one of the people listed in the papers. There's surely some published research with names attached. Be clear, don't be verbose, be polite, and be grateful, thanking them for their time and contribution

Your post made me curious. I hit up Google and got a result that may turn into a bit of a time sink. If you're very busy, you may not want to click on this link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laurea

I think there is also room for more prestigious awards to be named and given out. Perhaps one could function exclusively to shine a light on collaborative efforts? I also think there's a little that some of us can do in this same/

I've been reading that we are doomed since the days of reagonomics. Well, technically longer. I've seen the very same predictions and arguments made, yet here we are. To be absolutely clear - the system isn't perfect and coul

If you want to see the negative results, contact the researcher. There is no room, publishing mechanism, or benefit to most negative results. If the negative results are novel or reveal a new method, they will get published. Science doesn&#

No, those are your metrics. Your goals don't match those of the system. Ill defined terms like big losers don't really help. I don't think anyone would argue the system is perfect. I'd conclude that it's not nearly

Just an idea, why have a POS system at all? Why have a waitstaff that take orders? Why not just give the orders to the cooks and eliminate mistakes made by servers? What about in-kitchen optimizations? What about reducing spoilage? The poss

It's fun to poke fun at the system we have in the US, but we're doing fairly well from a numbers standpoint. Our GDP is fantastic, our median income is quite good, and we still manufacture a bunch of stuff. China didn't actua

I am convinced they are joking. I know that HN frowns on humorous posts that add nothing to the conversation, but I legitimately laughed. There's so much hype about blockchains, cryptocurrencies, and ICOs, that it is kind of surprising

Absolutely go for the gusto. Get your name attached to the paper, if you indeed earned it. It's even more awesome if you can get your name listed as the primary. It's rare, but sometimes people without any degrees get published in

The solution isn't publishing negative results. The solution is publishing better results. The solution is holding people to a higher standard and insisting on reproducibility before accepting the findings as factual. There are times w

A misconception, that you did not repeat but I'll mention it here as it applies, is that the State hospitals kicked the patients out to save money. This is not true. They kicked them out, and rightfully so, because the groups like the

In most of modernity, independents haven't, on average, made much money. Given the rise of creation and distribution tools, I suspect independents have gained more (proportionally and as a group) than mainstream artists have. Historica

Yes, but they aren't proposing people do illegal things. The referendum wasn't that they change the law, the referendum was that the secede regardless of the law. I imagine that they'd have had different results if the refere

It's remarkable that you didn't just tick the box to show hidden files and directories, along with unticking the box to hide extensions on known file types. Back when I used Windows, those were the first settings I changed. (There

I'm not sure that the results should be intuitive. I have a moderate fascination with quantum mechanics and I don't find much of that to really be intuitive. Some of it is pretty hard for me to fully grasp.

Science doesn't really have a place for participation trophies. That and it's pretty natural to judge based on results. When handing out recognition and fame, the results are probably the best criteria - though that should include

You don't need a degree to be a real scientist. You just need to follow the process. If anything, I think the discouragement of the citizen scientist is a bad thing. I think more people should try.

I believe the justification they used was that they have a clause for promotion of illegal acts and that their cosntitution expressly forbids seceeding. I am not suggesting that I support this, merely sharing information from a few links po

It wouldn't fly in the US. The government can't censor lawful speech, at least not legally. As for the voting? That's a bit more tricky. They are voting to commit an illegal act. While not morally similar, this would be legal

As I was typing it, I was thinking there would be a psychological name for it. It seems like something they've likely classified and tried to measure. If you'll permit me a vulgarity, my give a damn button is broken. For PR, I sen
