Love that fact check. People should really take whatever Trump, Musk or the right in general say with huge grains of salt. That Gaza condom thing being a great example.

He gutted FAA and we got plane crashes. Today I'm hearing nuclear oversight folks are being gutted. Time to prepare for one I guess.

Yeah. This is the worst example of a lack of self awareness.

It works? Are you sure?

If something is touted as indestructible, it probably means it will destroy everything else it encounters.

I agree. Unfortunately Tesla cannot be held accountable for autopilot crash and OpenAI cannot be held accountable for bugs caused by Copilot code. But that's where we're (forced to be) headed as a society.

You might be on to something here. Yes there is structural issue. When researchers see that appealing to DEI and inclusion make is easy to gain finding for, allegedly, research that is wasteful and not meritorious, everyone will attempt to

Democracy is a broken, hackable system and it shows why. Theoretically in democracy you're supposed to be elected by the majority and then ensure the rights of the minority. When you're elected by the majority and then make the l

It sounds as if the universe revolves around the US. Did you know that one of the biggest HPC cluster in the world is in Saudi Arabia? I know grad students who went there got duplex villas for free lodging. Before you start criticizing Saud

The slump began from first DJT presidency. US lost the 5G race to China. If deepseek etc. are any indication, they are losing the AI race too. Looking and the prevalence of cheap Chinese EVs all over the world, US is losing on that front to

I am a male of Indian descent, my PI was white male and we collaborated with a number of Asian male PIs and postdocs. I was in PhD research starting in 2015. All of us were funded. Quit the BS.

Let's not sugarcoat it. DEI is the new N-word. Only people who are covert racists would be bothered by a mere statement about inclusion.

America runs on honor system. SV tech oligarch do not have honor.

Why is this flagged?

The evidence of RF causing gene mutation is not conclusive.

The government already pays the airlines to keep services alive where it's not profitable. Airlines have even less incentives to take responsibility for ATC staffing.
378.
by esalman 2y ago
This is a bad idea. If implemented airlines will shut down services to small and less profitable airports and routes. It will only negatively affect passengers.

I mean there's an entire cult of people who think 5G causes Covid and RF changes your DNA.

It is just sad that American voters have given Musk, who is running a ponzi scheme based on "FSD" that regularly kills people, the license to gut FAA. And immediately we have the first on air collision in 16 years.

+1. I'd even say they are promoting bad science by putting up people like RFJ Jr for cabinet positions.

Agreed. I myself was involved in academia close to a decade as well and participated in studies funded by NIH and NSF during Obama, Trump#1 and Biden era. This person has no clue how rigorous and competitive the grant review process is. If

You're making so many vaporous claims that I doubt if it's even worth engaging.

Riddle me this, what has the Republican party done to alleviate replication crisis in scientific research?

As a gamer though I immediately noticed how easy it was to visually filter the content by tags and drill down into the details at will. It's an uncommon texture but it works for me.

by esalman 2y ago
It's really contradictory that the party of less regulation are introducing more friction and bureaucracy in scientific research process. But then it's also the party of anti-science so I can see why.

America is for sale to the highest bidder, basically.

by esalman 2y ago
Does he want to privatize FAA or something?

by esalman 2y ago
Have you spoken to any PI, postdoc, or student, or literally anybody in the academia about this?

Yeah I meant e-CVT. We actually own a highlander hybrid with e-CVT. Actually every vehicle I've driven was CVT/e-CVT. 14 Corolla, 18 RAV4, 21 Highlander hybrid and 24 Integra. All super reliable. I'd still say CVT bothers me
