I started reading and was like “okay, sure buddy” then I remembered I have developed a lot of the same skills, including tracking wildlife.
And then I remembered the time I learned to identify clay deposits and to separate out the clay so I could build stuff with it.
So I thought: “wth, this is so weird! Ohh, they have ADHD too… That explains a lot”.
I wasn’t diagnosed at the time, when I was learning to find clay, but that should have been a sign lol
No one said zero publishable results. Besides, to get to the stage of a publishing scientist (I mean a primary investigator) you have gone through a Bsc, Msc (maybe published, but definitely a thesis), phD (usually 1+ publications), post docs (at least 1 which may last between 6months and 5 years, and would be expected to publish), a probation period at a University/Research Institute or other organization (where you would be expected to publish).
So if you make it through that entire process and are incapable of publishing, the entire system failed you.
That is the argument, but when those with more publications get more funding than those with better publications, the drive is to produce more.
Don’t get me wrong, there are still good publications out there, but the incentives and pressures move the needle to the quantity side. How do you measure goodness? I dont know. But what we are doing now isn’t working, which is evidenced by, well how everything is going at the moment.
Of course we could moralize it and say something like “ohh well scientists are just greedier and lazier than they used to be” but that is thought terminating and no solution can be found that way.
Basically what you said: those with the means get a fire sale during market crashes. So even if it isn’t the intention of the policies (unlikely) its still what will happen. And the rest of us (super majority) are worse off, more desperate, and will probably work for less pay.
As someone within that community: it demonstrates the “publish or perish” mindset. Without enough publications it becomes impossible to get funding to do your research. Thus, the incentives are there for producing more publications and not better research.
Unsurprisingly, encouraging greater throughput results in greater throughput. And without proper support quality suffers. For example, a large portion of research is done by underpaid graduate students.
Its that using an extra step in the process (producing energy + CO2, then using energy to remove CO2) is going to increase entropy more than not producing CO2 in the first place.
Economic viability is separate and sometimes related to things like this.
Its irrelevant to the economy (in the short term at least) whether a process is efficient in terms of energy or resources. What is relevant is whether or not something can be done for either small sums of money, or sold for profits. More likely both in a capitalist style economy.
Note that it does happen in some cases that using less energy/resources is more profitable, but the driving force, again in a capitalist style economy, is the profit.
So your solution is to sow more division by believing people who vote Republican are stupid? The same people who believe you are stupid for voting Democrat (or anyone else)? Interesting…
Maybe target the real problem: the system and the people who uphold it. Otherwise you are just a pawn of the wealthy.
Just use a cheap face lotion to help with the dryness. To reduce the look of redness you can use an inexpensive anti-redness BB cream. Cheap lotion first, then BB cream (like garnier or something)
Even if this is true (which it definitely is for the liberal “democracies”) the scale of being untrustworthy, and the consequences of that, vary immensely.
He will likely release them to manufacture the consent required to dismantle, or at least retool, the fbi and cia so that he can further consolidate power.
It wouldn’t change my opinion tbh. Regardless of what is in the documents, the country is literally dripping with blood from the domestic and international assassinations, coups, genocides, etc… I’m not sure my opinion can be any lower, and it would take a miracle to improve it at this point.
The USSR obviously
Here, I’ll show you what I meant.
You are a C U N T
See? No using a disability as an insult, just right to the point. Does that make sense?
Maybe chill with the ableism. You can call a removed a removed without bringing disability into it.
This is good advice. As your skill and interest grow, you’ll be better able to understand what you like to photograph, what you need to be better at it, and what everything means and does. A DSLR can do a lot of photography decently without all the accessories and steep learning curve.
“Whatever individual action” indeed comrade
You could get a decent boomstick for 10k
How long would it take for the environmental cost (including CO2 emissions, and the inefficient use of resources associated with trying to live away from others) of the new building to be overcome by the savings in energy (and thus CO2 and associated environmental degradation involved in gathering those resources) when compared to just living in an already built house?
I’d wager that just maintaining an old house is better. Of course if you ignore everything else other than energy use and diverting something from a landfill, earth ships are very cool. Maybe not $10,000 either.
Its unclear whether one person building an earth ship instead of buying and maintaining an older house would make any positive environmental change.
Instead, if you took your $10,000 and partnered with others who have similar investments, you could build a small mixed use building which includes a couple shops on the ground floor, and dwellings on the next few floors (likely you would have enough combined to get a mortgage/loan to build). Why? Living in an apartment style building is going to be more efficient than any kind of single person dwelling (and you could use some of the earth ship ideas as well), having shops near homes would also help eliminate occasional car trips by having amenities right where you live. As a bonus, if this building was built for the investors to live in, you all now have equity and relatively low cost housing that is much easier to sell than an Earth ship in the middle of nowhere, should you ever need to move.
They’d stop believing people are stupid, especially those they disagree with, and realize that their differences are mostly made up by the ruling class to keep them in line.
Physicists abhor a black box. So long as it is an option, most will choose not to use AI to any great extent, and will chastise those who do.
How quickly are we talking? Then we can talk about concrete answers, and strategies to make it work for you specifically. And whats the goal? Temporary (like for a day or 2) or more permanent?
