    This is really going full on glass half empty and it's wrong to single out communications. We are at the point where we are increasing our usage of space resources for all kinds of things. That means there's going to be more stuff up there from everything. It's a sign progress. Who knows the stuff might be able to be harvested and reused in orbit.

    Corporations set the price of their products, not the other way around. Also, they could charge lower prices for their products if they weren't guaranteeing higher returns to shareholders year over year. At some point the whole public trading system is not sustainable.

    Wut ? that system has outlasted the civilizations that spawned it.

    I notice people who have a beef with Fox never mention specific incidents for some reason.

    The people who don't like CNN, on the other hand, have specifics, whats more they have the reporters donating to and working for the candidates they cover.

    But speaking of long term vendettas in the news, somehow those people who don't like Fox seem to forget Dan Rather as the head of CBS news, George Stephanopulous at ABC, or that entire joke of a network MSNBC

    Perhaps you missed how you can't use unanonymized data anyway ?

    Anything that will need regulation will inherently be reproducible if it's not it's B.S. not science.

    How about climate change?
    Do we need to reproduce an entire other Earth?

    Being able to have the same data from year to year would be a start.

  19. Re:Sounds great! on House Approves Bill To Force Public Release of EPA Science (ap.org) · · Score: 2

    Sounds like a bill based on an understanding of science from people who've never worked in a scientific field. All research affected by HIPAA would be banned by this bill. Which is the majority of medical research. All research involving external sources of proprietary data - which no researchers like using, but sometimes you have no choice - would also be banned.

    no
    HIPAA provides for anonymizing records for research heres the guidelines https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-...

    And furthermore, not all research is reproducible. "Hey, I just detected the highest energy cosmic ray collision ever in my detector, here's my paper showing proof of the detection!"

    If the EPA wants to regulate cosmic rays let me know I need a laugh. Anything that will need regulation will inherently be reproducible if it's not it's B.S. not science.

    Nice try.
