It's a good idea: have a fully-open repository where negative results can be documented. With the ability to tag on if a negative result is replicated. Then gradually re-enculture review boards to expect any given author to have a subs

This is the one thing that should be made out and out illegal -- version churning without a fundamental reason. Inclusive of: (1) altering problem sets or numbering, (2) reordering chapters, (3) organizing chapters. Where if any of the abov

I have as much beef with textbook prices as anyone else, but they have their own screwy economics. I'd be 110% in favor of mandating open source textbooks, where available, for any course taken by a student receiving government educati

It's probably more accurate to say 'Whoever owns the numerically limited chokepoint will take the lion’s share of profit.' There are many car dealerships. There are only a few car manufacturers. So the latter have forced the

It'd be interesting to have a resale tax for used goods, on top of any negotiated price, that followed royalty payments for a new digital good. As is, we're essentially artificially creating disposable goods, for the primary purpo

It seems like there are two divergent characteristics that lead to the differences of opinions on this. 1) Has someone ever flown in a premium class on a non-US carrier? 2) Has someone taken advantage of the end-to-end amenities? E.g. pre

Mandate transparent disclosure. Consumers don't care about these schemes because they largely don't know the details. There should be clear, tobacco-esque disclosure requirements of this sort of thing on the product packaging . I

I've heard that too. And yet when the boat is underway on a good day, their hands on the wheel... I have yet to catch a boat owner without a smile on their face.

There's finite available RF bandwidth, specifically in long-life things like air systems where you can't just add additional bands decades down the road. Ergo, trying to keep the most numerous systems (smaller UAVs) from needing t

Point. I guess the more 1:1 analogy would be having the radio on in the background. muses The closest I can come to explaining where my distaste seems to come from is wasted opportunity. In the modern era, we have unrivaled access to the

I believe all of these generally stem from US law making it impossible to charge someone for being an idiot. So provably contradictory claims like "Hit the payroll goals" and "Don't commit wage theft" can be demande

The logic follows that if a malicious company deliberately subcontracts all their development, then they've completely indemnified themselves against all claims. While simultaneously providing no opportunity for subcontractors to bring

I am an only child, which likely has something to do with my preferences... At the risk of sounding bougie, it seems kind of trashy to me to just constantly keep the TV on. Echoes of 1984's mandatory viewing, coupled with ignorance of

They were held to the standard of "Get it done, yesterday." And will likely eventually be held to the standard of "How dare you let this happen?" as they're fired, to demonstrate how seriously Boeing takes safety.

Maybe it's when I was born, or the fact that we lived in a somewhat rural area, but I categorically don't get the "background noise" desire. I live in the city now, and city background certainly doesn't bother me. B

At 65 you're eligible for single-payer, government-supported Medicare. I'm not old enough to be keeping an eye on the numbers, but it looks like ~$450 / month for hospital (free) + doctor (subsidized) + prescription (pay).

All the outrage on here seems shortsighted, while the FAA and you are recognizing the long game. There's no putting the genie back in the bottle, so any proposal needs to scale across the widest range of UAS, while coping with potentia

Forgive a non-bio major, but these tests can generally be segregated into cultured (pcr) / non-cultured, no? And I'm guessing as an enzyme test, this would fall into the later category?

80s and 90s American culture seemed to have an edge of individualism and creativity that was fed to the corporate steamroller as media consolidated. Can you imagine Disney producing Animaniacs?
