Say what you want about George Will, the man is one hundred percent committed to  that isn't really a compliment but like, this take coming from him is absolutely unsurprising, and him ripping on Graham makes sense cause he thought ol' Linds was too

I am not certain that George Will is a real person and not either a writing team or a moderately advanced AI.

Trump openly sets into motion a scheme to get consulate officials killed in Venezuela. GOP asks, "Why did Hillary get consulate officials killed in Benghazi?"

huh.... scientists think they may have just figured out what causes alzheimer's, and they may be less than a year away from testing a vaccine that could prevent and reverse it. Probably too late to help Trump. https://twitter.com/jasonlouv/status/1088324215604801536

And yes, the results are coming out of corporate labs, but the peer-review at Science is still robust enough (especially for this kind of high-impact result) that I would be confident that they did their due diligence. Obviously none of that means that anything has been Proven, whatever that may entail. So it's appropriate to get excited over this, but don't go around claiming there's gonna be a cure soon. Edit: Advances is just the side-publication of Science Mag that deals with big new results, like the Letters section in some journals used to be. Nature has one too but I forgot what they call it.

Discendo Vox posted:I am not certain that George Will is a real person and not either a writing team or a moderately advanced AI. He’s real. You wanna understand George Will? He’s a HUGE baseball nut. Knows baseball inside and out. Filter everything about him through baseball. Things are done a certain way. Even if a rule change would make the game better, he’s against it, because he measures policy, people, and all facets of the universe through the rules that were put in play. It’s not about whether the game could be improved; it’s about measuring every human being through the exact same metric. Because if they’re not in that metric, it’s not baseball. Does that make sense?

As with attempts to stop aging, the money to develop drugs goes to ideas that would enable easy cures (programmed aging) and not necessarily the ideas that have the most solid evidence but would be hard to cure. That said, in this case as long as the vaccine can prevent periodontal disease that would be pretty awesome even if it can't prevent/cure alzheimer's. mystes fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Jan 24, 2019 |

I have to wonder if this sort of connection is similar to the connection between periodontal disease and heart disease. Either that or it's because you're eating poorly. :p

Unfortunately, all classification is under the authority of the executive branch so if Trump wants him to get a clearance he'll get a clearance in the end.

Worth noting wrt classification stuff: they'll hand out clearances to people with all kinds of shady poo poo in their past. Like it alarms people when they hear about all the dirt you can have on you and still get high level clearances. To get denied repeatedly for a clearance takes some pretty serious concern that 1) you aren't disclosing potentially compromising info and 2) your current situation would lead you to actually consider selling out your country.

I know one former coworker who used to have a meth habit get a Q clearance (DOE's version of a TS). Usually it's not owing up to some shady poo poo AND having money problems that gets you denied. EDIT: Or mental health issues, though depression gets a pass every now and then.

I don't have anything to say about your other statements, but the bolded bit isn't right. The so-called big journals have just as much politics and playing the refs as other journals, if not more so. The only thing publication in Science or Nature tells me is either that someone thinks the result will drive readership/pageviews/impact factor or that a highly connected person is on the author list, but says little about the underlying science.
