They never caught Trump for tax evasion because he does what all rich people do: hires the top lawyers and accountants to handle it. If they could bust Trump they could bust the rest of them. The whole tax code is a legal maze to protect th

Researchers operate on money. They write grant proposals to get funded. Those grants typically specify their objectives in such a way that the outcomes are limited to a range that is satisfying to the funder. If you take grant money and com

I have a PhD in Transportation and am amazed at the ridiculous consensus of my peers. It's almost as if they produce the research that will keep their grants coming in rather than what is logical and correct.

Yes, but that's only true if peer review is functioning as intended. Peer review has been gamed and is broken. Science is a career and an industry and individuals have figured out how to protect their fiefdoms within it. The financial

Kagi.com is pretty good. It's like how Goofle used to work. I'm saving my free searches on it. May pay for it eventually. A curated search like the original Yahoo! would be nice. Goofle hides a lot of my preferred sources.

I'm not saying you need to let Alex Jones on. There were people asking questions who were MDs and PhDs with good records that could have been used. Refusing to take any adversarial questions also leads to discrediting by the public. Th

Jobs was no saint for sure, but he did build one of the most distinctive brands of all time and rallied a strong development community. Oftentimes that sort of visionary person can be an a-hole. Linus is known to be somewhat ornery too.
