Agreed and I think the public perception on the news regarding the Lazer Pointer incident doesn’t encompass the use of Lazer pointers or the governance of Lazer pointers. However, I think the Police didn’t make clear enough is the suspicion of carrying weapons and the wattage of the Lazer pointers weren’t disclosed at this point. Furthermore, the intention to modify something as a weapon to cause harm is something most regular people don’t consider. It’s easy to upgrade a laser pointer to emit light dangerously high and able to cause damage at a longer distances. I think Hk should take a page from Australia and limit the use of lasers as they are harmful even at 1-5w output. I certainly wouldn’t let my kids play with them.

Welcome to coordination problems. Nobody loves them, but short-term, publishing with them is still the optimal move for scientist's career.

> If everybody were to just stop,

That's the root of all human-created hard problems on this planet; it's not exclusive to scientific publishing. People don't spontaneously coordinate. As long as it's in the short-term interest of any individual to not be the first one to stop, or to not stop when others are stopping, almost no one is going to stop.
> a hotel room price can change to 4x its normal price in case of special event in a city

Airbnb also encourage hosts to enable what they call Smart Pricing. The host define a min and max price and the algorithm autonomously determines a price based on supply/demand for similar listings and other parameters. The bracket can be very wide, on my listing they suggest min/max to be 35€ and 150€, while we actually rent the high season at 60€.

I guess in case of a specific event and all Airbnbs in the neighborhood are booked, you could also have a 4x multiplier sometimes.

This paragraph made me smile:

>Elsevier alleges that “one senior library official has repeatedly pointed to illegal sources of articles, including a Russia-based piracy site.”

>We are unaware of any library employee who has been directing users to illegal sources of articles. On the contrary, UC explicitly published a statement on its website, in response to questions asked by users, that states: “The UC Libraries do not endorse the use of Sci-Hub for article access.”30 As the UC Berkeley university librarian said in a published interview, “we are unequivocal: it is our understanding (though we are not attorneys!) that Sci-Hub is in violation of U.S. copyright law. We will not advise nor help anyone to use it.”

By naming Sci-hub.tw, they're basically educating people that there's a way to get articles they want but it might be less than legal than some other methods.

Kind of pointless question.

Einstein clearly is the "boss" of general relativity. He got the idea, worked on it, applied the maths, etc... So let him have his name.

But he wasn't alone. It is not possible to talk about general relativity without mentioning a dozen of brilliant minds that either helped him along the way or served as a foundation.

A part that I think is often forgotten is about the guys who made observations, the engineers and craftsmen who built the instruments, and the experimentalists who interpreted the results.

General relativity did one thing: solve the inconsistency regarding the orbit of Mercury. And without accurate measurement, that inconsistency would have been within the error margin, making general relativity nothing more than wankery.
Effects of Leaving the Comfort Zone
They're officially not endorsing Sci-Hub, but they're sure to repeatedly call the service they're not endorsing by name on multiple pages.
Well I should hope it does more by now because that's not enough information to mux an H.264 stream. You need to recover PTS/DTS offsets, keyframe types, SPS, etc.
If everybody starts reading Open Access journals and stops reading Elsevier, the Open Access journals will have more impact.

But yeah, many scientists are paid by slow-moving bureaucratic machines that probably don't care about the issues involved and just want to see them published in old, well-established big-name journals, and not a new upstart that everybody else suddenly wants to consider more important.

Well, aside from any dramas with the financing history of this Sydney-Melbourne link, the distance is not the most favorable. People (those who would pay / support such a service when it comes down to it) will generally choose rail versus air based on the time city center to city center.

Sydney-Melbourne is 900 km. This is beyond the outer edge of where rail versus air is highly competitive. By several hours.

Paris-London (500km) is about break even for the air/rail time tradeoff, and there rail takes about 50% share. Barcelona-Madrid is a bit further (600km), and has done really well also although that's a bit of a special case.

San Francisco-Los Angeles is 600km and you can see how poorly that project is going -- which by the way is what this Australian project has the similar feeling of.

So by the time you get to Sydney-Melbourne, you're talking 900 km and > 3 hours difference between the air/rail options and really not favored. Maybe Canberra in the middle helps a little, but the volume of traffic of people choosing this option is just not there.

> If Elsevier is so terrible, and everybody hates them, how is it possible that it's so hard to move away from them?

They own the high IF journals, which scientists need to publish to in order to get cred'.

It's a chicken and egg problem, scientists can't move to OA journals until these provide the high IF they need to get cred' but OA journals can't get high IF without high impact articles being published in them, which requires paying Elsevier huge fees so you can publish in both.
> You still create a problem with prices since if everything is payed by the State, the pay is arbitrary

No, it's no problem there. Raw materials / medicine, consumables, land, energy, work itself - everything has a price and thus a proper socialized healthcare system can account for everything, while putting patient outcome first and not money/profit.

There are videos of dudes having sex on gay pride carts in broad day light in major cities.
Let's not pretend that the gay community isn't the most promiscuous community (stds stats, amount of partners stats, &c.) and that half naked dudes in bdsm outfit are "non-sexual". The whole thing is about "sexual liberation". It's not even about being gay or not, it's about decency, I'd have the same discourse for a "straight pride" with straight people having similar behaviors.

To be fair, I think the interviewee is using the word “capitalism” to mean what some in the US today proclaim to be capitalism. I don’t have any citations for what I’m about to say, but I’ve heard of some US politicians describe the United States as a defender of both democracy and capitalism: compare this rhetoric with how similar US politicians describe “socialism” and “communism”. As a result, I interpret the interviewee simply continuing to make that association as incorrect as it is.
This has happened: the example I know is that the editorial board of the linguistics journal Lingua resigned en masse to create the open-access Glossa. My impression from the outside (just a friend of linguists) is that Glossa is generally considered "the real Lingua" and "Zombie Lingua" has become significantly less selective.

A failure of IT systems shouldn't stop the plane flying...

The gate staff should just let anyone onboard with a legit ticket or a sufficient story about buying one.

Sure, some people might get a free ride, or a few legit ticket holders can't get on because the plane is full, but overall, most passengers end up happy.

Simple things like "the pilot can't log in to the HR system so he gets paid for the flight" should be fixed with a combination of process changes and "let's just fly now, make paper records, and fix the computer records later"

Communication systems should have a backup of a large box of walkie-talkies in every airport so that, for example, the baggage staff can radio to the pilot to let him know they are done loading.
So I have not yet installed the July 'security only' update because it contains W10 style telemetry (I'm on Windows 7 group B for the fellow AskWoody-ians) which I abhor even more than being vulnerable to a hack.

Because researchers either publish or perish, only the work posted in established journals counts, and the likes of Elsevier controls those journals.

After having three concussions in the past two years, one just recently—I've taken a keen interest in learning as much as I can about mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).

Impairment of glial-lymphatic function is thought to play a role in all manner of neurodegenerative disease, including TBI and mTBI.[0][1][2]

My potentially incorrect layperson oversimplification:

mTBI in particular is broadly characterized as a loss of homeostasis within the brain, more specifically metabolic dysregulation secondary to primary mechanical injury. When you suffer a concussion, an inflammatory response occurs within the brain. This is useful in the acute phase of injury, but can lead to chronic neuroinflammation if not properly mediated. Oxidative stress secondary to the primary injury can interfere with this process, and what you end up with is a complex biochemical cascade that furthers metabolic dysregulation and loss of homeostasis, resulting in latent neurodegeneration (brain damage). Among those systems impacted by said dysregulation is the glymphatic system.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) by contrast is a term used to describe brain injury more severe than that of a simple concussion. It's basically everything mTBI is and then some: compromised blood–brain barrier, immune cell infiltration, necrosis, sometimes direct mechanical destruction of brain tissue in the case of open head injuries. It's typically quite horrific.

In researching the topic, I've noticed many papers suggest pathologies from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's to CTE may in fact stem from chronic loss of [metabolic] homeostasis within the brain. Whether that's from chronically poor sleep, or hits to your head, the end result is disturbingly similar.

In my own experience, the number one thing that has helped me recover after a concussion has been sleep. Usually following an injury I need more of it than normal. It's not hard to imagine the glymphatic system plays a critical role in healing.

Microsoft is known for its outstanding backward compatibility. Will Wine take over that role?
Grep is really fast at that at the actual search (gnu grep at least), the gain there is mostly that "smarter" tools will ignore e.g. VCS data or binary files by default whereas grep will trawl through your PNGs and git packfiles.
Not for energy, it wouldn't - good luck burning anything on the moon!
The funniest thing would be Microsoft hiring Wine developers to make programs written for old Windows run on newer versions of it.

Olivetti, in general, is such a tragic story for any Italian tech enthusiast. In many ways they were the original Apple: focusing on aesthetics, design and usability; turning a pretty unsexy commodity such as the typewriter into a luxury good; opening sophisticated "Olivetti stores" in high-end shopping venues such as Manhattan or Paris; and so on.

But by the end of the 80s the writing was on the wall: the Italian system could not support a world-class tech player.
Neither WINE nor WSLv1 use virtualisation. WSLv2 does use virtualisation however; but WINE still isn't a VM.

That's irrelevant. Researchers are forced to publish in high-impact journals to preserve their career, and any newly created journal has zero impact.

Furthermore, some countries/universities enforce a journal whitelist, and evaluate the eir researchers based on the number of papers published in the pre approved list if publications.
