I still don't quite get what the exact limits on who can compete are. I was reading the Olympic rulebook, and there are a bunch of very strict rules on who can't compete, based on the general principle that the competitors be amat

> Do you have any idea how much it costs to lay out, print, and distribute a 200+ page book? Are you saying that a vast majority of 200+ page books are sold at a huge loss? Because I've bought many 200+ page books and never paid $10

Researchers are expected to publish papers at such a frequency today that spending time writing a paper for a null result would be considered a bad career move

It’s against the rules for one

It’s pretty clear that he’s proudly projecting an asshole persona throughout the article. I think it’s intentional

Wow, from my 21st century perspective the most shocking thing here is how the Caltrans spokewoman was completely thankful to him. I was fully expecting a full-scale beaurocratic takedown, perhaps even suing him into oblivion

I always wonder if these actually work

Any negativity you read into it was a projection

I really don’t see the connection between preferring public transport and preferring to eat unseasoned food. The latter isn’t even much cheaper than seasoned food. Also chicken breast is very expensive, maybe you should have said veganism o

Same, basically. In fact, in the UK the requirements were low enough that after my first paper published a year into my PhD (in theoretical quantum physics) my supervisor was like: "I consider this enough for graduation, now you can wo

It works for them but I don't think it's appropriate everywhere, and there is a cost, if not immediately certainly in the future

What do you mean by that word? Does it mean insincere? EDIT: Why the downvotes? I'm genuinely curious. I see the word thrown around a lot but I can't get a grasp on what it means
658.

Well honestly I can't really bring myself to care about it. After all, it's not like we're going into the SerenityOS Discord and seeing Nazis. It's a very slight rebellion, and seems to serve well to defuse tension and a
