Comment Re: BASIC - take a photo after adding reagent (Score 1) 47

I am not sure the prevalence of raspberry pi devices but still good to see solutions based on material at hand. I am sure can always do better or maybe cheaper but in RURAL areas this could save lives. Not sure why so many naysayers versus encouragers. Maybe someone has shaft stuck up somwhere waiting for a diamond. +1 for female engineers and thinking outside the box.

Great rebuttal. Also like saying the person at a restarant is not a real chef unless they slaughtered the cow themselves. Or you are nit a Linux programmer and your linux code should not be trusted until you write and contribute to the Linux kernel. BTW, I am in research, have collected my own and used other data sources and have slaughtered and bought chickens to cook so not just talking out of my arse.

Agreed. Abbot, Cruz, Dan Patrick, and Ken Paxton are all one and the same. Corrupt and self serving. They all don't know how to tell the truth if it hit them in their face. Best way to deal with these slimy swamp filth is to vote them out and investigate the bajesus out of them. Sure there are a few skeletons in those closets. Some have already been convicted of crimes as well and still in office. Amazing...

So if a doctoral review board with members from MIT, Stanford, and etc approved along with a specific PhD advisor who is willing to stake their reputation by vouching for the award of doctorate then yes. Otherwise it is just a person trying to sell an idea that happens to be at an academic venue. I provide a lunch and learn on data management at a university every other week but would not even consider myself a PhD...

Comment Re: What is a doctorate about? (Score 1) 291

Also honorary doctorates are pointless. You are a PhD or not. So in my argument above, the doctoral review board abive should be willing to put their own PhD reputation on the line like a doctoral candidate has an advisor who makes sure they are ready. Lets see how many honorary degrees would suddenly stop being given thennn :)
