It's not propaganda, it's all the normal people on the left in my life who have in the last 5-6 years started calling anyone to their right on social justice issues racist. You're …

Part of the issue here is that the academy has lost the trust of Republicans. So even if there are results that institutional racism is a significant factor, if it's coming from so…

How about a reframe: When they are the ones in power, cutting funding to organizations that support their political opponents and goals they don't support. I'll be the first to say…

Do you have any idea how smug this sounds to about half the people that need to pay for the scientific funding? I'm not a Republican, but even I'm turned off by this sort of attitu…

I'm not implying I'm stating that if you depending on the tax base of the entire country to pay your bills you need to ensure that you cultivate the support of both parties.

Like this from the article: > When Jenna Norton, a program director at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDKD), first got to the NIH 12 years …

That's foolish. There is certainly an amount of money on funding research that is unreasonable! Determining where that line should rest is an inherently political question. Determi…

Why do you think that the US government has the state capacity to do anything like that these days?

And all but one of the studies are by the same lead author.

The manufacturing process uses layers, so I'm not sure how that follows.

This is really bad advice. Don't let yourself be blocked for several days. Try for 2-3 hours and ask for help.

Framing things in terms of a victim blaming mindset is a frame that leads to preventable stress because it takes the locus of control away from someone which is a major cause of st…

I can't imagine that many people in the rich countries in the modern era are among the most stressed humans in history, even despite the erosion of social support networks. Nearly …

It's unfortunate that the article downplays resilience so much. It's entirely true that you can control your level of stress by making different choices, but for a given level of s…

Code is best reasoned about as a depreciating asset, not technical debt.

> earlier stage startups (which drives most new job creation in the US) This is absolutely not true.
