That’s interesting. I always thought that it was early career researchers who had to publish in journals to establish their reputations. Does it not work that way for you?

When thinking about the cost of providing the services journals provide, I’m always struck by the example of PloS - non-profit, set up with the mission of promoting open access, and just about surviving by charging authors $2000-$3000 per a

I don’t believe the Democratic Party has ever advocated that states should have no rights, so I don’t see how your argument makes any sense. Of course in a specific instance they could advocate for states rights. It is also perfectly fair o

So you agree that selective breeding is possible for humans? I think that’s all he is saying, in response to people who might incorrectly recoil from the idea that practices that work on animals also work on humans. Your other points about

Will you still vote Republican? Just curious, please ignore this question if you think it too personal or impertinent.

What exactly is your position? That no one should believe any statement from any politician ever and so there is no reason to demand that politicians live up to any standards? How exactly is a society with those principles supposed to funct

They’re called collective nouns, English is particularly obscure when it comes to these.

So, before the lockdowns it was observed that if actions are successful then some people will claim they weren’t necessary. Since you seem to be one of those people - what’s your thinking here? Do you really think those numbers (98 deaths a

This is a charming story. There is a sad line from the hopeful early years of the internet to today, from a royal ham operator to Trump’s twitter account.

No, you can’t. You might be able to build a pc that meets your specific needs for half that, sure.

Fascinating. The head of the worlds most powerful and extensive intelligence service, and largest and best funded medical agencies justifies his actions by saying some random journalists didn’t know any better either? And you blame the jour

For what it’s worth, I’m not a Python programmer and I got that correct. The answer is: [1] [1, 1] [1, 1, 2] [3] It relies on knowing something about how python applies default arguments. I’ve only written about a hundred lines of python in

The fascinating thing for me, reading this thread, is how smart people are tripping over themselves to justify obvious nonsense. It’s really amazing to watch this in real time.

This paper has been widely criticised as likely being completely wrong, as it incorrectly accounts for false positives. https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2020/04/19/fatal-flaw...

Lehman Brothers? September 2008, before Obama was even elected. So, how does that change your view?

I looked at the first report in your link. It says: “we registered one accident for every 3.07 million miles driven in which drivers had Autopilot engaged.” And then: “By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States

Hmm... so you get nothing for it, you do all the work and yet you continue to do it? I presume you must be getting something out of the arrangement, else why on earth do you continue?

All areas of practice have their own jargon, words that superficially sound similar to regular English but actually have specific insider meaning that promotes faster in-group communication (and a degree of in-group signalling) - this is tr

It does not. The expected number of deaths for 1.6bn miles in expensive cars in perfect driving conditions is probably 0, Tesla had 3.

Amusingly, that is exactly the response in every Tesla thread on HN.
