OFFICIALLY SIGNED: New York just banned online sales of CNC machines, lathes, and 3D printers. Required surveillance software on every one.
And there's a bill in committee to require a background check to buy them at all. Look around you at who didn't fight, or who ONLY appeared to fight once they saw my video views pouring in. 🤔 Video soon!

In France, the baguette is price controlled, in Italy the espresso is cheap, in Germany the beer purity is protected by a 500 year old law…
and in America, Costco keeps the hot dog at $1.50 under threat of death.

they are spamming publications and using co-author credits as currency; this is grade inflation for CV and currency devaluation for grant funding. the screeching is their ego self preservation on being called out

Have you read all the sources you ever cited? During my PhD we, along with dozens of other papers, cited a paper that I later found did not contain the result for which it was commonly cited. I should be banned I guess.

it's endemic at jobs that bill hourly, because inefficiency kills slowly and is industry wide, so you just make everything terrible, push it into stock valuations, and jump out with your golden parachute

the boss should get to push a change notice or material transfer thru this SAAS bullshit that hasn't been updated since 2007 or alternatively gets updated every six months with no regard for employee friction

This might be the coolest real estate business in the world.
Some dudes took over a ranch in Texas and built a telescope farm. They're managing hundreds and hundreds of scopes for other people and offering super dark skies and fiber internet so that folks can take amazing pictures of space.
Behold Starfront Observatories.
