Apparently, Trump was told that the Iran war is 10 to 1 (politically) winning for him. What do you think are the real odds now?

I see everyone now in the Administration is implementing the "Art of the Deal" tactics. The same tactics that bankrupted every project Trump did.

None of these alternative statues give Trump what he wants and what he used the IEEPA for, which is unlimited power to use tariffs to force specific countries to comply with his edicts and more importantly to stop laughing at him. The SCOTU

We have been here before many times. Nutritional epidemiology studies have a terrible track record of establishing causal relationships (e.g., Beta-carotene and lung cancer, selenium and prostate cancer, etc all were not replicated when the

For a "little" speech, it is all people seem to talk about; e.g., it was mentioned few times in the comments above. And, yes, one can be on the board of a public company and still make valid and consequential analyses. Hell, one c

Yes. If emergency services were run by a private company, like airlines for example, they will never ever be 30 minutes late!

Mark my words. Few years from now , all who had the power to stop the genocide will claim that they were the ones who were warning us about it but we were not interested. History will be rewritten to highlight how morally ambiguous the situ

I experienced similar challenges writing a music engraver app. I ended up rewriting it in Go in fifth the time. I think Rust is trying to solve a really difficult problem (certifying total memory safety at compile time) by exposing faulty a

As a physician, I can tell you that euthanasia has been always around in every society and at all times. MAID just made the arrangement formal. Before MAID, it was implemented by withdrawing life-saving treatments (usually due to side-effec

I think this study adds to growing evidence that aging doesn’t progress linearly. There’s less evidence supporting a specific inflection point for aging. If aging is like any other biological process, it’s likely to vary a lot between indiv

We get plenty of sensations from our internal organs; just ask anyone who had kidney stones. The sensations may or may not feel like pain, but the internal organs are definitely not silent. The issue of referred pain is mostly related to or

Is it possible that the pro-schizophrenia genes persist because they offer other (non-neurological) benefits, e.g., lower risk of cancer? Siblings of patients with schizophrenia are less likely to develop cancer, and in several studies thes

thanks for your donations... I use openbsd on a daily basis. Like you I love its simplicity. I love how few processes are running at anytime and how easy to tell what they do.

The crisis in science can only be fixed by addressing the slew of bad incentives built into the system. We can't predicate job security, promotion and prestige of every early career scientist on publishing as many papers as possible, a

I think what publishers need to do is retain reviewers (possibly on part-time basis); many retired scientists can benefit from those opportunities and it is a way to keep senior scientists engaged in their fields. For most submitted papers,

It is quite clear that Trump does not have the temperament to be a president or a leader of any kind. Clearly, he was venting and has not calculated the consequences of his words to US (and his own) interests. Also clear is the glaring abse
