The federal rules around indirect costs give a default minimum. So this point about negotiation taking time is only relevant to going beyond that minimum. Critically 15% is at or below this minimum. Current grants prohibit paying operating

It’s worth noting that negotiations of overhead rates requires extensive documentation and justification. So institutions really do have 30+% overhead expenses that have to be paid…

Since overhead rates are negotiated with a separate federal entity, federal law requires NIH to follow negotiated rates. If they don’t want to, they have to justify their reasoning[1]. It’s remarkable that the reasoning they give in this no

This is crazy. Effectively a $4 billion cut to existing university budgets!?!?

This concept (Congress failing) gets repeatedly stated in many contexts without sufficient pushback. It should be considered whether perhaps for organization so large its functioning quite reasonably. Much of the current outrage has been ma

I mean come on - if there is a pervasive cultural insinuation of gender differences in ability that leads to women experiencing more test anxiety (I’m not saying there is, but conditioning on that hypothesis) why would we expect a 20 minute

I also have a high degree of skepticism about most psychology research. I find it frustrating that the author of this piece raises the issue of the imbalance of gender in STEM jobs as a reason to doubt this particular study. There is nothin

Definitely a neat article insofar as it summarizes many observations about task related “bandwidth” of human output. Summarizing other comments - calculating bandwidth in a task-specific way neglects metacognition: the Rubik’s cube solver c

Perhaps immune-based therapies like CAR-T are based on the premise that there are many cancerous cells in your body all the time, but your immune system deals with them, and it’s only when it fails to do so that you end up in the pathologic

Just to clarify - there is some technical correctness in this statement "Biblical Israel did not include any part of Egypt, nor does it contain all of Lebanon". I believe Genesis 15:18–21 says in "from the Wadi of Egypt to th

This is the kind of longer response that I come to HN to see. (Not intended as an endorsement of the ideas, but appreciation of the approach.)

I think that few (no?) people oppose vouchers on the theory that private schools provide an inferior education to public schools. They oppose them because most proposals would not (a) require private schools to accept the voucher as full t

I think earning trust often requires significant personal sacrifice. Institutions are made up of people, and I think that one of the outcomes of the web era is that it seems that fewer high talented folks find the motivation to do unglamoro

Please correct me if I’m wrong, I believe that for aged women, being slightly overweight predicts longevity?

This is probably between age 6 and 11, so with the average 1.94 children family with ~2 year spacing, there's a need for something like 7 years of after school monitoring...

As a parent in the Houston Independent School district, one of the recent changes made by the state-appointed superintendent (we were taken over recently) was to fire all the bus drivers and rehire as contractors. The result is that element

It’s so frustrating to see that Snoo has raised $78M in venture capital whereas 1K wheelchair is self funded. There is nothing special about the Snoo that couldn’t have been a bootstrapped $10-100M company, but now they’re trapped into need

I’ve spent several evenings pondering the PIOs and whether I could adapt them to this project. I think there’s a reasonable chance that the answer is yes for the new RP2350. For the aforementioned 25 ksps per channel, I actually need someth

Hahaha. That's actually my primary comparison. We're at $45K + $10K overhead these days....

Totally! Another reason why sticking with a pre-populated dev board (like the Zuboard) makes life easier on many levels. My application is basic neuroscience, so we're looking at slow signals, each channel is ~25 kSps, so we're at

In this case, my maximum data rate is about ~256 Mbit. So not crazy, but not microcontroller either.

by ckemere 2y ago
Yes, absolutely. My preference is a devboard, to be honest. My goal is something that I can share for ~free with other labs who'd need to order the parts themselves. I'll likely have to spin an adaptor PCB, but ideally quite trivi
