  • For sure… the city/township/municipality responsible for repairs and upkeep should have clearly marked and coned off this route immediately.

    Sure, Google should have updated the route and maybe deserves to pay a small fraction of the total payout depending on how egregious the warnings to them are and specific details of the case…

    BUT, whatever entity is responsible for the bridge deserves to pay out most to all of the settlement because it should not have been possible to drive off of the bridge without plowing through a clear barrier.








  • This is definitely interesting… However I would caveat this with the fact that in the past, Nature & Science have both previously published more than their fair share of studies that would later be retracted for lack of reproducibility.

    Most of this is due to the fact that when you’re a publication on the bleeding edge and there’s a lot of mid-term name and career recognition that comes with being published there, there’s also a higher level of academic fraud that can happen to get there.

    I would keep a cautious eye out for retractions as well as labs that attempt to reproduce results… I also want to dig deeper and see if the mouse studies done had replication attempts by different labs as well and I won’t have a ton of time to do that today, but regardless it’s certainly a potentially a large breakthrough in cognition if it holds up.
