    FAH Non profit conflict of interest

    I guess I would turn the question around. Why would anyone donate to technology project and not care about the accuracy or use of the results? Folding Forum • View topic - Where can I learn more? What do you see? I see a post with a great deal of inaccurate information. Where? Prof. Vijay...

    irrational hope that logic and communication can make a difference I guess. apathy was never my strong suit... Why doesn't anyone comment on the content instead of questioning the position of the poster? The dream of judging the validity of the information and arguments / questions? I never...

    FAH Non profit conflict of interest

    I posted a detailed analysis of the new numbers on evga: non profit conflict - EVGA Forums Some people have said my posts are extreme and farcical. So, I just have to ask, what is more absurd? asking for ethics, disclosure and accountability? Or not being able to describe the production out...

    Well Christian...now we know. Not 17 PFLOPS....actually 87 So only a 5x reporting error. Oh well, completely ignored your post and simply repeated captain obvious: Anonymous donors ask to be anonymous. Really? You think? Didn't see anyone ask that question.

    Great post and very reasonable. I know you have always wanted to stay positive and supportive. However, here is something you have to ask yourself. When you look at this chart and see 2/22/2014 at 17,590 and then 4/11/2014 at 44,848 Folding@Home Non-Official Statistics What do you conclude...

    yeah both 7IM and Bruce were throwing out red herring. I pointed out that ps3 and bigadv had been discontinued long ago(was not allowed to post). Long term trends and excuses had nothing to do with 30 PFOPS dropping over the last six months. They knew full well the answer. They just wanted to...

    The FF has no answer of where the donations come from. They confirm that PG is under NDA . Folding Forum • View topic - What Happened to 40 Petaflops? The problem with this level of secrecy is that highlights how little accountability or transparency the project is willing to supply. A full 30...

    Sure: "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" yet for some reason we still apply laws and codes of ethics....seems pointless I know. But the choice is vigilance or anarchy(individual based corruption) or totalitarianism(state controlled corruption). Are you...

    Well, I am really surprised that the other labs and researchers are not concerned.(publicly anyway...perhaps they have asked for his replacement in private) There was a post asking if anyone had tax expertise, if there were any chance that the non-profit status of the project could be...

    The information never is there for all to use(in the sense of open from inception...the initial process is completely closed). First it is reviewed by the researchers themselves. They write papers publishing their interpretation of the results...this can take months to years. Others only then...

    not your ethics, but the logic of your statement. nihilism just doesn't make sense to me in this context. I'm not doubting your sincerity. It just doesn't make sense to do something and not care about it at the same time. Just my opinion. Regarding, my affiliation: I had a great deal of...

    But you do it because you have the presumption of some greater good...You would really do it if it turns out that you were bitcoin mining or breaking code for the NSA? Just to be clear, there are "right answers" in my opinion. Conflicts of interest are not new, and there are ways to deal with...

    Well, I find that people and things tend follow form. If you find someone lies consistently about small things, It is not long before you find they are fabricating or defrauding in a major way. It would be great if you could trust that your donation is going to the better good, regardless of the...
