Maybe someone should look them up in popular search engines using simple OSINT techniques and see that else they were reckless about.
For many years, scientific computing facilities were "off limits" to honorable hackers, but I've noticed a persistent air of entitlement from the biological sciences, paired with a deep disrespect for the field of information science.
I have a bachelor's in information science with a concentrations in information security and related areas in psychology and English literature from one of the highest ranked schools of information science in the world[0], followed by a PhD I left "ABD" after numerous peer reviewed publications and scores of conference talks and other informal lectures and volunteer work.
I once saw an entire zoo aquarium's exhibits fog up in my hometown as it switched to brownouts, as a conference's attendees went on to obstruct policy initatives that would prevent the entire state they claim to want to be permanent residents from one day losing power in a similar manner to what happened in Texas.[1]
It's why I started one of my pet phrases when I'd do volunteer work:
Voting is a right, whereas electricity, like driving, is a privilege.
Anyways, sorry for the stern response, but I hate being the guy who just goes "Oh, those results are unsurprising", but some nights I feel like I really need to mansplain what can happen if folks ignore my "crazy" left-libertarian advice.

- Edman274 4y agoI don't understand the connection between the zoo's aquarium "fogging up" in your home town because of brownouts and the unwillingness of scientists to share data. I don't understand the connection between scientific computing facilities being unwilling to host "honorable hackers" in "information science" to use their computational power and data being closed. I don't understand what your "stern response" is to. I don't understand why you used the word "mansplain" to describe what you're doing when it has nothing to do with identity politics. I don't know what your "highest ranked school" is. You added it as a footnote but it doesn't seem to appear later in the comment.
