Because in a lot of hiring processes the worth of the researchers is based on this streer cred. It’s a messed up system.
Even more messed up is that journals that do try to be more open about their procedures and that don’t try to make a profit are marginalized or in some cases even not indexed. For example, eLife no longer has an impact factor calculated because it’s experimenting with a publishing model that disincentivises profit and some other undesirable things in academic publishing.
Sci-hub needs support though, it does not have all of the most recent papers, which are often the ones we’re looking for :(
Israeli or Zionist terrorists seems to be a more accurate description
I’ve sewn buttons into my covers because of this. My blanket already has button holes so that works okay-ish. Need to add a few more buttons though, because now it’s sort of sagging in the middle
Red Bull finally got something to work on their car?
No no no, a person having 100k left after expenses. They mentioned profit, not revenue. So a really soft, tiny slap on the wrist, barely noticable.
You’re probanly right. I do remember reading this post about a guy who traced pretty much all age verification law proposals in the USA back to Meta and their representatives.
It is a damn shame though, regardless of who is causing it. Lots of nature damaged, lots of animals in trouble and possibly it’s spreading into the Black Sea affecting others than Russians.
Very suspicious. This isn’t the typical one country implemented something successfully and the rest follows. Instead loads of countries suddenly are pushing the same narrative into mainstream discussions without any clear reason. I wonder who is behind this.
This is systematic destruction and forced removal of the local population, it has little to do with Hamas
I imagine them being something along the lines of ‘Government organisation X moves from Photoshop to free open source alternative’ or if a journalist is feeling funny ‘Government organisation X moves from paid image manipulation software (PIMP) to GIMP’.
Anyways, I think it’s only a minor issue limited to English speaking countries, and only a issue for people who already have issues
Wow, that’s a lot of money! That brings the $/kg ratio much closer to RAM than I thought.
A commom mistake bank robbers make is that they take more gold than they can carry, stuff is heavy. I feel GPUs are similar in their value to weight ratio, RAM is much lighter and easier to take a lot of. Imagine the value of a backpack full of GPUs vs one full of RAM sticks.
I wouldn’t be suprised if smoking turns into one of those things that old people do, not cool at all
Technology, or rather, lack thereof. As others pointed out, planes need to bring their own energy supply and use additional energy for that. Weight is a very big factor for air transport’s energy consumption. Fossil fuels have a very high energy density, which make them great for bringing along. Once light weight battery tech (without excessively large sizes) becomes available, it should be no issue to electrify planes. Alternatively, find another source of electricity. E.g. nuclear has a much higher energy density than fossil, but obviously has it’s own issues, as do all other currently available tech options.
Planes and trains are also quite close to each other and in many cases cover the same routes. However, planes run 100% on fossil fuels, trains are often electric.
This made me wonder, are there any mechanical switches that can be switched by a smart something? As in, a regular switch where the user always has mechanical control, even when the smart system is down, but that optionally can be switched by a smart sytem, state reading is optional.
Sounds like these strikes are really having an effect
Putin made sure Western countries currently don’t want to use Russian fossil products. Ukraine is making sure that they can never be used again.
