I think a way to look at it, from an SEC trying to do their job in a pragmatic manner, is 'a crypto currency is likely to be run by professionals, a memecoin is likely to be run by teenagers'. SEC deals with oversight and regulati

setting aside any particular ideological perspective, I think what is interesting here is the (inevitable?) expansion of soft power warfare into a new domain. I would be shocked if there are not other networks like this out there by other c

No, this lawsuit is not about employee records. It is about customer records. Just like I can't share customer data with whoever the hell I want, they are arguing that there is a process and it was violated. Its the same lawsuit as if

It is worth reflecting, as much as HN seems to hate the social sciences, on this point. But the difficulty of measuring intelligence is a challenge that several fields have struggled with for decades. It is inherently hard because defining

I have a 13 mini that is hanging on by a thread and you will pry it from my hand (because I can actually hold onto it). I'm actually considering finding a refub because I prefer my old-fashioned artillery to the 6.1". The larger p

That’s the goal. That entire second group in this article, is talking about a set of things that relate to one of two NSF review criteria. One is intellectual merit, which is pretty much what you think. The other, is what this is all relate

So when Congress tells you a grant must do X and write in it that you will do A, B, and C to achieve X and the grant is reviewed by independent experts who don’t give a shit about X it’s automatically bad science?

I don’t understand the appeal or value of analyzing a bad faith argument as if it were simple error. These grants were funded through normal nsf scientific processes by experts. The report refers to that funding as “diverted” because they d

Most stem PhDs actually go into industry. In fact, in my department I would say 60% or more go directly to industry and we are a field with growing faculty opportunities. The immediate post graduation employment of all PhDs is very high 74%

Your numbers are way off…number of American citizen or permanent resident divided by number of doctorates awarded: 35,566 / 57862 = 61.5% (overall) 26,622 / 45,533 = 58.5% (stem PhDs) Survey of earned doctorates, national center f

It’s often higher than this, but your talking about the people in positions of power and leading our society…so my expectations are lower.
