Science as an "institution" serves only to protect egos, fraudsters, and politicians. When citizen science is ridiculed and "the institution of science" is glorified this is what you get. And anyone who dares to profess

The government who wages the wars and brings its terrors home invades people's privacy and comfort in the small amount of time they have away from the toll they put to pay their taxes, and the people are thankful, after all, all of it

You get a glimpse of how dislocated from reality the HN crowd is when "€250/d doesn't sound too bad".

China. Seems like a deliberate effort not to mention it in the title and abstract, despite the text clearly defining "East Asia" as "mainly China". Also major contributor to plastic pollution in the ocean (from rivers) a

YouTube is notorious for that, though. With that context, this is one more instance, showing that the issue persists. I remember a German youtuber tried to unionize creators through IG Metall, though there doesn't seem to be any news i

People who sign-off on the programs to do the task can be held accountable, they just aren't. It's not about computers, it's about the legal system.

Basic screaming-at-your-face statistics, gets traction, specially coupled with the mental gymnasts trying to "disprove" facts, shouting "spurious correlation" when the implied causation is clear... Paper money is nothing

You can, at the same time, verify a person's identity upon opening the account, as you mentioned with documents, and use a TOTP MFA instead of SIM-based authentication. If regulators require SIM-based authn, then it's just bad pol
