I have faith it can be controlled within the project itself, I think politics has greater influence in the selection of what gets studied in the first place.

I think I’m going to concede the point. I was honestly more putting my momentum theory the test.

Also just saw this and thought of you and that you’re right :P

Yes but to be clear, I was joking.

They should control video games like they control guns.

Btw is $80 actually up from the oughts and 10s? I’ve had $80 as the price for the latest AAA game in my head forever and am continually surprised it hasn’t changed.

What if bias start to grow within academic institutions?

What if the public funding to those institutions influences which departments get more/less funding?

I actually am asking genuinely because I would be happy to know we can improve on what we’ve got.

I was thinking along your lines too, but have to concede the rebuttal as well. But I think we can still aim for the ideal of science proceeding as neutrally as possible once the funding is granted. Getting funding is the political interface. The question of “What should we do?” must be political, but “How should we do it?” can be left to science.

I’m already doing biphasic sleep, I’m just not asleep yet for the first part. And the answer to your question is Factorio.

Yeah that’s interesting. Though I do think the Bible is big enough and vague enough for either tribe to exploit. I’m convinced the Left could have sided with Jesus’s ways of life and been the Christian nation, while the right rejected it.

I didn’t realize there were pro-lifers that accepted “it’s not an abortion if the fetus wasn’t going to be viable”. You could pretty easily extend that to full term. Hell with medical debt, I don’t see how there’s much chance in a lot of cases even post partum.

It’s by momentum. The greater the momentum the greater the responsibility.

Edit: To actually respond to your examples:

1. No. It is the responsibility of the high mv cars not to enter the sidewalk, or to be incredibly cautious if they must.

2. Yes. It is the responsibility of the high mv car to look far enough ahead to respond to low mv (or rather high delay v) obstacles ahead. If this sounds impractical, the design of highways and the illegality of a pedestrian entering one makes unavoidable incidents of car-hitting-pedestrian-on-highway low enough to be practical.

Indeed. Maybe one day this can be “Lemmy” :)

Love the site: operator! Whenever a website has its own search feature, I immediately leave and use site: from a search engine instead.

You’ve got me thinking about how the distinction is what the incentive is. Still not black and white, but if you want to suffer because you have only personal enjoyment to gain and your needs are all met, that’s better than consenting to suffering to pay the bills.

Uh oh, yup.

So “on God” means like “on God’s authority” or “for reals”?

I don’t see why it would be like that. Even if the chemical these were detecting was sky rocketing during miscarriage, the test should only have two lines worth of reagent (test and control) built into it. You don’t get more lines from high concentration. This looks like a misprint.

My computing experience at work has gotten worse over the years (with the exception of OneDrive and Excel tables), but I get to go home and work with PCs that run free software that performs so much more slickly and unobtrusively. Thank you FOSS devs!

I would be bothered by having low clearance above the sink to do dishes, even if it was practically enough room.

Thank you for your reply!
