@RussLatino@MSTODAYnews I think the article is stupid too but tbf it’s an op-ed and should have no bearing on the quality of MS today or their sports journalism
@skrsntx@BeLoudWearRed Obstruction has nothing to do with the baseline. Defenders cannot block the base path which is a straight line from the runners current position and the base. IMO it is clear that the base path is unobstructed in this play shown by her getting her foot on the bag without contact.
@Felthersn1Howie@FoolishBB The buffer zone has nothing to do with the width of the plate or height batter. It has to do with the hawk eye system not being able to place the ball exactly where it was irl, but instead just the middle of a region of error. Snell’s ball could have missed but hawk eye had it on
@GotAIFrames@JamesSurowiecki It’s literally been the job of the IGs to find waste, fraud, and abuse for decades. They even publish their work for transparency with the public.
@AlbaDocherty@jamesanthony_us@florian_krammer Just because it’s done by institutes that benefit from NIH grants doesn’t mean it isn’t true. I don’t see any evidence that NIH funding is bad for the economy. Even if it was we spend 70¢ of every $100 in taxes to have the best biomedical research in the world.
@PunkyBrewstuh@jamesanthony_us@florian_krammer So would you rather all health research be done by private companies where they will only research diseases with a profit incentive and keep all findings proprietary? Public funded research allows us to make advances in all diseases and makes the knowledge publicly available.
@jamesanthony_us@florian_krammer Literally every medical advancement traces back to the kind of academic research the NIH funds. All the advancements in cancer therapy, antibiotics, and anything you can think of would not exist without NIH research. I am a virologist, you have no idea what you are talking about.
@TakeWeightOffMD@ChrisMurphyCT It’s the money that goes to things like gov required review boards like IRB and IACUC, it goes to facility and maintenance, large shared resources that make big research possible, and many more things. Research cannot happen without any of this.
@jamesanthony_us@florian_krammer Every dollar that is allocated to the NIH returns 2-3 dollars in economic activity. Pretty good ROI if you ask me, hard to classify that as “waste”. Everything else you said is based off misinformation, google is free, look at actual research instead of propaganda.
