Why not have part of each grant be placed into a fund for replication studies, or even directly allocated to other independent teams to replicate the study. Might do some fields rather well.

Yea, but that's like restricting NYC to Manhattan. I wouldn't feel that unsafe walking the majority of Manhattan at night either. Or for another city center, I go downtown inner harbor/fells point/federal hill Baltimore

I just don't see a) as happening much. If there are cheaper solar panel or electric cars available I don't see the point in a consumer not going with the competition. Unless Tesla intentionally makes it hard to integrate competito

This is just my opinion, but I think long term Tesla will lose out on solar panels to cheaper more focused competition. But they seem to be leading the way in battery production and self-driving automobiles. If they can hold on to market le

I feel like the only thing you did read was the headline... Westinghouse is a bit of a special case. There was accounting/financial fraud and they took on stupid fixed contracts that bit them in the ass when safety regulations forced t

I know it's stupid and crazy, but would carpet bombing the arctic work to burn up the methane trapped below the permafrost before it leaks out into the atmosphere and causes worse problems? Or maybe we should send out expedition crews

But you're describing some kind of theoretical ideal world. We don't live in that world. No one has found a good mechanism for controlling inequality within their own borders and/or ethnic group that scales to anything beyond

I always thought HOV lanes were a bit of a joke during rush hour or traffic jams. It's nearly impossible to effectively enforce the rule and there's simply too many people willing to ignore the rule.

Yep, just another person using data visualization techniques to describe their personal opinion while giving them the air of empirical authenticity. It's unfortunate really, the same as a media outlet using a misleading graph or junk d

Not a bad rebuttal, I have to agree that Zuckerberg is trying to position Facebook as the end all be all of social contact in the future. I don't think that's a good solution. But in reference to this quote: >The reason we find

Maybe. Seems like the FBI and federal agencies were harassing dissidents a lot worse in the 60s and 70s through COINTELPRO than they are now. I don't know if it's really worse now so much as different with new avenues of harassmen

Yea, nice. The Government/Law enforcement harassing dissidents at the border is definitely equivalent to the Nazis rounding up and executing political and religious minorities. /s Not to make light of this issue, it's a serio

And considering that something like 0.01% of travelers into the US are ever affected by this, you could say in a practical sense there is no concern here either. That's basically a rounding error worth away from 0%. In fact it sounds m
