If you never get a positive result then you're probably just not good at science. Also I can't imagine any scientists who gets up and tries to fail everyday. However, they're still advancing knowledge. Just because your exper

Incentives in science are skewed. The focus shouldn't be on positive results, the focus should be on publishing results. A correctly incentivized researcher would strive to publish, and strive to improve knowledge in their field.

Just the fact that it was attempted and noted would be great. A researcher could then attempt to contact the author and ask a couple questions about details. Currently, as it stands everyone is walking around in the dark.

>To write a complete academic paper with references, related work, graphics, etc can take days, weeks, or even months (eg. for thesis work). Doesn't have to be high quality, tell a convincing story and back it up with evidence proof

Reddit's voting/karma system needs an overhaul. Karma does absolutely nothing on that site yet it's the only metric of value on that site (people do crazy things for meaningless reddit karma), that and having an ancient accou

No one said HN is exempt from this, actually it happens all the time. However HN is tiny compared to reddit it doesnt fracture itself into small subreddits. Things are much more managable this way. When shill content does pop up it's p

Absolutely false. This tech has been around for years. Monsanto wouldn't exist without molecular biology. We'd still be extracting insulin out of farm animals if molecular biology hadn't allowed scientists to grow it in yeast

I would definitely take that cell review with a grain of salt seeing as it was written by MIT/Broad institute.

Doudna took Cripsr from an odd genomic pattern to proof of Cripr/Cas9 being a bacterial immunity complex complete with proof of mechanism. Transferring that body of work over to in-vivo is trivial in comparison to what she did. Transfe

UC Berkeley's Doudna should be livid. She worked on this technology for years, developing it from it's infancy to in vitro proof. MIT scientists swooped in and within 2 months applied it in-vivo and patented it. I guess to be rewa

Well you're putting words in my mouth then. I never said anything about workers needing to sacrifice their health. I stated ambivalent feelings and questioned the timing while admitting my own nativity about true conditions.

>The argument being made is that the workers should suck it up and accept the low pay and grueling working conditions because of the importance of the work Tesla is doing. I did not make that argument whatsoever. You made that up.

Tesla never attempted to enter the hybrid market and was never competing with the Volt. The Bolt is a rush to market toy car. You're right they beat Tesla to the market with an affordable car, but no one wants it because it's tiny

Tesla has been developing cars for 14 years and they have yet to make a profit. Musk has stated numerous times that the vision of he company is sustainable transport. I realize I've probably chugged the kool-aid at this point but I can

I actually do believe it and that's why I reserved a model 3. Maybe I just bought into their rhetoric, maybe. But I believe that the company's vision is more directed at sustainable transportation rather than profit. They have wor

It's hard to feel passionate about this either way for me. Yes workers should be able to unionize for their own benefit but at the same time what Tesla is doing is much bigger than the individual. The company is at a crucial moment, th

The amount of money you have to pay to watch any game you want is unreasonable. $360 for Sunday games, 40-70? for cable if you don't have reception for prime time games. 150-200 for the NFL network for Thursday night games. Luckily nfl
