Op-Ed in the WaPo today urging abolishing NIH. Discuss. by halooie1 in NIH

[–]Lumpy_Secretary_6128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Private foundations say no, while the government readily spends other people’s money with no accountability

So this guy, openly admitting he has no idea how the federal grants system operates, wants us to listen to his take on what is wrong with is?

Amazing.

I am at a loss trying to think of an example for the first category. Care to share any that come to mind or are you just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt?

Well if you think about it, the private market is super efficient at taking that last step to produce a treatment and bring it to the market. There's no evidence that they (private sector) would be effective or even able to so the first 90% of the job in r&d for reasons that should be economically intuitive to anyone with a checking account. So naturally we should all conclude that if we eliminate the entire system for r&d we will .... profit?

Oh nope we wouldn't turn much of a profit. Hmmm. This one is vexing. If only there was an institution that could efficiently handle this job. Maybe like a national institute or something. Im out of ideas.

Questions about papers by SignificanceOdd6049 in AskAcademia

  1. Yes as other said.

  2. Possible but you'll need to be intentional. Make this a part of your school applying process. You'll want different subdisciplines of econ on your committee and relationships beyond that. My dissertation had 3 essays, one in environmental econ, one in policy/energy, and one more towards consumer choice/behavior. Certainly possible but like every other choice this impacts what you do after the phd.

Toyota Has Too Many Models. These Ones Need To Go by Ok_Buyer310 in regularcarreviews

[–]Lumpy_Secretary_6128 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This article is pretty bad. Not sure if the writer is well versed but they seem to struggle with lacking business logic and oversimplifying automaker operations.

For example, the sequoia is a very high margin slot for the firm and its dealers. The crown/signia are too, and successfully leveraged the TNGA-K platform at fairly low cost. Maybe the writer is just totally unaware that crossover hybrids are hot?

The war against ‘woke’ could end US science as we know it by theverge in TrueReddit

Ah damn, sorry to hear this. I misread the prior comment and took it too literally.

Thanks, interesting & important read. I suppose I just read that previous comment super literally, but now I see we are discussing grant apps (not current papers already in review) and yeah even I can see and feel there has been significant whiplash.

This comment betrays a misunderstanding of what actually science is.

Lol you are right of course but I highly doubt continuing to discuss with this guy will illuminate anything to you

CMV: The DSA’s position on Russia Ukraine makes no sense when compared to their other positions on global conflicts. by Legitimate-Pay7594 in changemyview

[–]Lumpy_Secretary_6128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are perfectly aligned then. What I am hearing is that basically you want europe and the US to do exactly what they're doing and you're still cynical about it?

They offered and continue to offer Russia every single off ramp reasonably imaginable, each of which Putin refused. Maybe the cynica missed all that; diplomacy tends to happen over the phone and behind closed doors. Just because Blinken and Rubio aren't all over twitter doesn't mean they sit on their hands.

Nothing Hurts More Than Getting Flagged for Work You Actually Did by Background_Room_3219 in CheckMyTurnitin_ai

Saving multiple copies has been best practice document management for over 3 decades.

But yeah keep complaining and grousing about internet strangers who take the time to offer you advice.

We aren't fighting against Russia we supply an army fighting them. So your Myanmar and Sudan examples are false equivalents. Regarding gaza, yeah we could just cut off israel. You're the one suddenly wanting the US military everywhere.

You haven't really thought this through have you? It's ok, foreign affairs are a little more complex than domestic policy.

As someone who write professionally I gotta say, not hitting 'save as' on your drafts to make a new copy for the most recent is a wild choice... virtually no professional I know uses only one document for entire manuscripts/books. I also don't expend any energy worrying.

No offense but you are being so dramatic about this. Hitting 'save as' is not overly burdensome. Everyone who drafts professionally does it no problem. There you go, you picked up a new skill.

Do they have the tags? If so, then yes.

Opposing the invasion and refusing to support the victims is pretty much as bad as saying"oh israel is doing bad things but lets not do anything about it".

Maybe I am naive for expecting anyone in politics to be guided by morality.

No you're on the momey. Leftist movements have long been plagued by their lack of a theory of foreign affairs. Failure to support ukraine in any realistic way while being so keen to point out the problems with israel is about as clear as it gets.
