Comment Re: What happens on a weekend or holiday? (Score -1) 242

I love how you post a sensible, moderate perspective, but the Slashdot system just mods you down to zero because you are a "LIBWAL" and all the people who support you do not even get a say in voting for you. Slashdot has been slowly losing numbers for years now, and this is why.

Are you a moderate liberal/progressive? Well, you are simply not welcome on Slashdot. Which is pathetic.

Comment Re:Predictions are hard (Score -1) 345

Lol smh. The length and severity of lockdown is DIRECTLY related to competency in handling the virus.

So your question is a straw man. Australia and New Zealand will suffer less of an economic downturn than USA, because their leaders handled the pandemic in a more competent manner. Less infection rates, less mortality, greater complicity in requisite social behaviours. So yeah - a more competent leader would have reduced the economic impact of the pandemic on the USA.

It is quite elementary when you are not deluded about Trump's competency.

Comment Re:What good has peer review done anyway? (Score 1) 89

"Someone"? Just...anybody? I'm pretty sure the 'mistakes' you refer to are only mistakes depending on the training of the person finding the mistakes. No scientific training IN THE SPECIFIC FIELD IN QUESTION?

Then no one cares about the 'mistakes' you find, because you do not know what you are talking about. Peer-review is INDISPENSABLE to scientific progress. Period.

If you disagree, that is because you are not in the sciences and do not understand it. If you think journals like Nature and the journals I regularly reference in my papers have "no value in terms of validation", then you not only have no scientific training - you do not even understand the basis of science itself. So shush.
