  14. Re:Blind Faith vs Science on Why Scientists Should Have a Greater Voice On Global Security · · Score: 1

    Tough to do. You have the alpha sociopath running the show. They hold vast segments of the population in their thrall due to low information voters or the "free shit" legions. I've seen scientifically brilliant people be utterly undone by political ideology, both left and right. It's more than memes- it's a mind cancer. I don't see a way out of it all.

    Think of it like drugs. You have the scientific name (Sildenafil citrate) and the street name (Viagra).

    Got a cite or a link? Is this a survey of formal policies, or just a set of asshole bosses?

  25. Re:Good Advice on Boston Declares Health Emergency Due To Massive Flu Outbreak · · Score: 1

    My employer here in California actively encourages people to stay home when sick. They recently did the move where personal time and sick time got combined, but they increased the accrual rates versus time served so it winds up pretty much the same as it was when it was Sick + Vacation. Some sort of tax thing, we figure.
