The reasons are complicated and evolutionarily symbiotic. Lure a "pollinator" to protect and spread it. Avocados were the diet of some unknown animal that no longer exists. Avocados shouldn't exist except for humans preservin

Every study works in mice. Human trials, not so much. Also, who would volunteer for depression + psychedelics before and after brain biopsies to prove this thesis? Maybe try it on the "before" sample in vitro first?

Maybe this is a bullshit troll paper or was written by an up-and-coming comedian GPT3. There are different kinds of intelligence: fluid, crystalized, mechanical, verbal, sensory, data, intuition, social, emotional, and so on. Maybe it'

That is a genius hack. ("Genius" might be redundant.)

Publishing papers in journals isn't about scientific development, it's about publish-persish. The issue is the journals suck-in the papers and then walled-garden them like they were their original research when they are simply t

- Computed GOTO... ugh - Indentation-based syntax isn't a programming feature, it's a lexical/parsing style religion. In my religion, it looks much cleaner than extra punctuation, superfluous keywords, and the visual noise

Anyone who says they're "unbiased" is lying. Everyone has biases. Is whether someone has the integrity to recognize and air them, while reporting matters of import that go against their own views/agenda.

Witch-hunt by the powerful backed by party of money. It maybe a partisan issue at the grassroots, but it's not really such in government where the majority of politicians are in the same bubble of silencing dissidents and whistleblower

Agnostic of actual political nonsense, an email scandal finally gets someone in leadership. That's the unluckiest SOB ever. PS: After an experimental physics colloquia on their campus up the hill, IBM Almaden offered me a paid dark m

Absolutely. Then no. :) I wish I had a 4000 lasers plaid-mode FDM printer able to work in titanium, PLA, ASA, styrofoam, carbon nanotubes, steel, copper, wood, concrete, borosilicate, and EPDM at micrometers.

QA is different for every type of engineering organization. It shouldn't be automatically thrown around or diffused as something tertiary that can be subordinate wherever it lands. That works in a 3 person startup, but not if you&#x27

Anecdotal. Embedded QA doesn't scale for projects where the teams are larger, or the concerns and complexity are significant. https://qualitysystemsanalyst.com/2017/10/06/independence-th...

Yep. People aren't rational, compliant, cooperative actors 24/7. Agendas. Bad days. Illnesses. Family events. So then it's unreasonable and foolish to extend trust unconditionally, perpetually, and without auditing. If all pe
