I don't see how your comment is relevant to the topic. This isn't a public vs private debate. If anything it's a debate between federal loans and state appropriations, or an issue of administrative mismanagement. There is a

What socialism are you familiar with in Canada?

That's definitely true too. Being able to accurately assess whether that need will ever exist (or not) early on is invaluable.

This is a very good point. I think many people are so caught up in bashing the hype train around big data and data science that they just casually dismiss these incredibly valid points. It's not necessarily about how big your data is

I once saw someone propose an 'X-prize' style system of publicly funded incentive based competitions for medical device and pharma research. Interesting idea.

This is not a market failure, it's a regulatory failure. The FDA has arbitrarily denied approval to alternative epinephrine delivery mechanisms and in doing so cemented Mylan's pricing monopoly. When the father of Mylan's C

Sure, but not really what I meant. Adding public option and subtracting individual mandate would basically be a step towards having single payer with secondary private market.

Much of computer science is a science. The contention seems to comes from the fact that software engineers tend to come from computer science departments. Maybe more universities should create separate software engineering departments?

>I still can't get over the term "data science", though. Not only is it ridiculously meaningless - what sort of science doesn't involve data, and how often would data be useful to something that isn't scientific

Independent of the presence or absence of a public option, the benefits of a private market largely depend on whether an actual competetive market with consumer choice and pricing comparison can exist. In the US it cannot due to regulatory

I wonder how many people would trade individual mandate for public option.

> I hope one day this field of computational biology can stop calling themselves computational biologists and simply call themselves biologists. Absolutely.

I agree with your overall point and particularly the first part. Computational biologists and laboratory biologists are both biologists, just with different tool sets. I disagree, however, with your last paragraph - in particular the notio

It depends how you want to contribute. If you want to offer your services as a programmer to the biology community, there are several open source projects out there to develop LIMS (lab information systems), user friendly interfaces to many

The problem with programs like these is that they tend to incentivize nefarious "scavenging" of lower hanging fruit such as bikes and other private property. The type of supervised work described in this article seems like a mu

You're not wrong. Where proper socialism seeks to supplant capitalism (and property law) through the power of the state, social democracy instead seeks to exist within the basic capitalistic framework while attempting to curbe its per

Exactly. The general third party and independent share of the vote is a metric that should be tracked more visibly.

The problem has more to do with the mechanics of plurality voting than presidential vs parliamentary systems. Parliamentary systems can and are subject to the same winner take all mechanics. The scenario you outline would best be remedied

Sounds like votes don't mean anything one way or the other.

by ende 10y ago
Utterly false. If the expectation is the actual election of a third party candiate, then sure that is unrealistic given how the two party system actively supresses third party participation. But voting third party contributes to long term
