This is correct. Specifically in my country, publications have to be published in journals of the first tertile of the corresponding category in the JCR index to get full credit.

I would say that the fact that this is now the top story on HN, a place notoriously not populated by 5-year-olds, offers anecdotal evidence on the contrary. In a more serious response, as a young researcher, let me assure you that when a po

Good luck selling plushies, apparel, comics or animated cartoons of lil' fun Sir David Attenborough! Now instead of having the dream name for science outreach and awareness for kids, you have a stark, cynical lesson on democracy.

Also a small "add comment" icon pops under each paragraph when hovering, making entire paragraphs jump up and down as I scroll down the page, it's very distracting.

I believe this is correct. The service ceiling for a very modern Boeing 787 is ~13,000 m whereas in 1957 a Canberra achieved the then-record altitude of 21,430 m: http://www.fai.org/fai-record-file/?recordId=9843

Companies do not build similar airplanes nowadays, as there is no tactical role for a high-altitude high-speed unarmed medium bomber. Yet NASA needs to do high-altitude high-speed research.

Highly probably, since several Canberra squadrons were equipped with wither Mark-7 Thor (US) or Red Beard (UK) tactical nuclear devices.

That's applicable to engines featuring DEF, but for the rest my theory is that they will just increase EGR to lower combustion peak temperature and thus decrease NOx at the cost of engine efficiency. There's no magical software fi

Well, automotive engineering is a very big field involving lots of disciplines (mechanics, combustion, modelling, NVH, design, aerodynamics, etc.) so I assume it heavily depends on what you like to do :)

The custom runners and the ability to view the results of a build are killer features. I really hate GitHub's cryptic "something went wrong" emails.
