  1. Competition is good on Google Sees Biggest Search Traffic Drop Since 2009 As Yahoo Gains Ground · · Score: 1

    As much as MS and to a lessor extent partner Yahoo have ticked me off many times in the past, I still don't want a near monopoly in Search Land. Google is getting arrogant in some areas and they need to be kept in check.

    Acts of Congress? You mean Non-acts? See nearby message about obstruction. True, we can't tell for sure what would pass if GOP didn't exist because the reality is that they exist and DNC has to work their politics taking them into account. In general, GOP has favored reducing basic research. They believe that tax-cuts ALONE will cause co's to spend sufficiently on research.

  3. Re:The Blunt Truth on Fewer Grants For Young Researchers Causing Brain Drain In Academia · · Score: 1

    Running existing (budgeted) operations is not the same as controlling the budget. Essentially the GOP has controlled the budget by blocking everything and threatening to shut down the gov't.

  4. Rather than allow representatives to battle back and forth, it would be nice if there were a federal ballot to vote on such issues:

    A. Land on asteroid
    B. Land on moon
    C. Do neither (save the money)

  7. Agism bites BOTH ends on Fewer Grants For Young Researchers Causing Brain Drain In Academia · · Score: 2

    It happens in both directions. There is a "Goldilocks age" of between about 7 to 17 years of experience (varies per industry). If you are young, the profiling is that you don't have enough practical experience; and if you are old, the profiling is that you don't adapt to new technologies and trends.

    When the economy is tight and international competition strong, then companies can pick and choose who they hire, and they prefer the Goldilocks age range.

    The profiling may not be accurate for any given individual, but as a short-cut under pressure, hiring profiling happens.

    This is a direct result of voting Republican.

  13. I wouldn't bet on it on Researchers "Solve" Texas Hold'Em, Create Perfect Robotic Player · · Score: 1

    The betting is the real strategic part. Unless the bot can do this well,...

    I dunno, my Roomba has a pretty good poker-face.

    no longer quality for driving...transgender...because Russia has too many road accidents

    Man, I'd be a better driver with my wanker removed. "Distractuious" women have caused most of my near misses.

    It's odd how they spend billions to send probes (Viking wasn't cheap), but then skimp on follow-up Earth-lab science.
