It's not the alt-right! It's just...*proceeds to regurgitate bog-standard alt-right talking points*
FTFY
They went mask off so fast that I'm surprised we didn't hear a sonic boom.
Tl;dr: imagine the success and continuity of not only your career but the careers of your employees had a significant element of random chance involved. Welcome to research.
Now former scientist here. I see the typical "people would do this anyways" comments but I'd wager they don't understand what it's like to work in science and academia. It's publish or perish. In the United States, it's an absolute capitalist meat grinder and it can be brutal.
As a lead researcher, you are dependent on securing grant money not only to keep your job, but to keep the jobs of your co-workers and the very lab itself afloat.
How do you secure grants? By showing you have the experience and ability to complete the research.
How do you show you have the required experience and ability? By your lab's record of publishing the results of successful research.
What is successful research? In an ideal world, it would be what was found at the end of an investigation, regardless of if it disproves the null hypothesis or not. In reality, it's the results of research that have further application, either in industry or that disprove the null hypothesis and act as a step to get you further related grants.
What happens when an investigation flounders? So you didn't disprove the null hypothesis. In an ideal world, you publish a paper explaining what happened and everyone knows what not to do in the future. In reality, it's basically unpublishable as journals want what will make them money. Your lab now has the research equivalent of a gap in your resume. You continue with other research and hope it is publishable. If your lab has a streak of bad luck and multiple projects crap out, now it's harder to secure grants. The downward spiral begins.
Is what this researcher did wrong? Absolutely, but I get it. I 100% get it.
We need serious reform that removes the profit motive. A functional research system would better catch fabricated results before they're published. It would alleviate the pressures that drive good people to do bad things in the pursuit of doing further good. It would actually enhance scientific discovery as ALL results would be published and without parasitic publishers as unnecessary middlemen.
Seconded, I use a Define 7 and it's fantastic. Best big black box I've ever owned.
Have you checked out United Allergy Services? They claim to have self-administered allergy shots.
It's 100% worth it. Not only does it get rid of the pollution, it tastes a lot better too.
Thank you. I was just wondering why the hell anyone would work for AA to begin with. This helps explain some of the draw.
So Google Search, even back in 2000, was an AI?
I'm of Sicilian heritage and Cash's first wife, Vivian Liberto, would look perfectly at home at a family reunion.
Baby rats are very intelligent, empathetic creatures and want love too.
Yeah, he's the classic boomer model of "my point is whatever makes me correct at this immediate moment". Check his comment history for a laugh, he gives people grief for doing the same things he's doing here. No self awareness or integrity whatsoever.
What's funny is how you call someone a coward elsewhere for doing the same. I guess it takes one to know one.
That's a lot of deflection when you could have just said "I am unable to address anything you wrote" and saved so much time.
I don't think you understand what anecdotal evidence means. One person seeing something repeatedly is still anecdotal and of similarly little value when making statements about broader trends.
You didn't link or even reference this media coverage that specifically supports your assertion so yes, for your comment and even this one, the observation is still solely yours. We're not mind readers, we don't know what you're not telling us and, in case you ask, no, we're not going to look it up for you. If you don't provide evidence, people online generally assume you're making it up, and rightfully so.
A boomer thinks their anecdotal experience is indicative of anything beyond their own experience? Shocking.

I can't help but wonder if they'll ever fix the action menu glitch for controller users.
Grandpa, I think you got lost on your way to Facebook.
YSK: Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix makes fantastic waffles.
I promise I'm not shilling for any of these companies.
I use the gluten free mix because of Celiac. We doubled the water and cheese and used it as batter in our stuffed waffle maker, filled with soft set scrambled eggs and more cheddar cheese. We used a heaping 1/2 cup of batter each for the top and bottom filling. The batter rises pretty quickly once it hits the cooking surface, so we'd press it back down as we were adding the fillings. It takes about 10 minutes to cook.
The mix comes with a herbed butter mix. After the waffle is cooked, we opened the maker, slathered each side of the waffle in the herbed butter, and closed it up again for about thirty seconds to let it cook in.
It's a perfect 5/7, highly recommended.
People who park in the handicapped ramp boil my blood.
I have a disability and want to smack these jerks with my cane.
(Bat PSA) The wrinkle-faced bat grows its own ski mask
The wrinkle-faced bat is a frugivore (fruit eater) and is actually classified as a member of the leaf-nosed bats, despite not having a leaf nose. Molecular phylogeny is wild. They have the strongest bite force in relation to body size of all known bats and their short, broad heads are thought to allow them to eat a wider range of fruits.
Males grow a skin flap that partially covers their faces. When not in use for adorable convenience store robberies, males lower their masks to show females they're interested in getting it on. Seriously.
The influx of Redditors has had a detrimental effect on Lemmy.
I'm a long time Lemmy lurker and occasional Redditor. Since the Reddit influx, I've watched the frequency of shitty Reddit-type behavior, e.g., combative comments, trolling, and unnecessary rudeness, just sky rocket.
I'm happy to have more content on Lemmy, but I wish the bad actors and assholes would have stayed on Reddit.
Yes, I realize the irony of posting this on a new community that's basically a Reddit transplant.
