More snark? Presumably people are referring to the active attempt to make someone suffer consequences as canceling too. for example the electrician who got fired would still be described as a victim even if he later got his job back. Though

The article says it's unusual. I gather this must not be a public company yet for it to even be possible. In the US, by the way, pensions for around 97 percent of people have been replaced by 401k's, a kind of brokerage account fo

So she's an extremist? If she wasn't cancelled does she deserve to be? Seems like you're trying to have it both ways here. We were talking about what it takes to get someone cancelled. I'd say the uproar that ensued qual

What about someone who thinks males and females are biologically different? Or that surgery can't change that fact? The line keeps moving. I see people even on this forum attacking others in the worst language for opinions that look ma

The poster was talking about hackers exposing anons however. The Disney example doesn't need to prove that particular facet of the danger can happen because we already know it can. So you think Disney would acted differently if they kn

The US govt already requires publicly funded publications be shared publicly. Some agencies like NIH and DoD have their own archives you need to put the article in. The law allows up to something like a limit of one year paywalling.

They're effectively giving them a price below the going market rate though, and they can choose to raise that price any time. It would be more messed up for the govt to step in and insist they need to continue selling at their arbitrar

I think ethics is important and it's admirable to help others during a crisis, both as an individual and as a company. But I don't think this kind of stuff belongs in research. If you want to bias or overrule your algorithm to per

Presumably it would only cost a penny because whoever buys it doesn't expect to collect very much and will be motivated to negotiate. It would be really nice if rather than taking a low amount they sell it directly to the debtors thems

Someone did this in the aftermath of hurricane Rita I believe. They rented a uhaul and bought some generators, and drove halfway across the country to sell them to people the very next day. Then they got charged with price gouging. Restrict

There's also the allure of the local restaurant/store/etc versus the national chain, that everyone can see all around them even in the present day.

I don't think they're great, it seems like a way of obfuscating what the app really does. Your approach might work for savvy or paranoid users, but not everyone notices much beyond "contains ads" or such. Apple needs to

Because when you're talking to them directly you ask them about it. This is what I mean by all forms of feedback. I'm getting the impression that people are just ignoring all advice about communicating with customers in their star

One goalpost at a time please. 90% of users in "a given country" is not the same things as saying 90 percent of all users. Unless that country is so important that it's everyone, and again you needed to test that your product

It's confusing but "the University of California" as used here actually refers to the entire system of ten schools, from Berkeley to, uh, Merced. The system collectively negotiates for journals. There was also a big fight ove

Your link states you retain the right to do this, but that it may be subject to an embargo period. If it's referring to the allowed embargo period according to US law (which requires all federally funded papers be shared publicly) then

If you are unable to find out that 90 percent of people can't use a major feature that you thought would differentiate your product, you are missing all forms of feedback, including much more important sources besides analytics.

Yes it's fine if people want to create a new buzzword for some special case. But people act like it's a revolutionary idea that will allow them to finally address unsolved problems (and ergo deserve funding for). "Light field

The comment was about being restricted by sponsorship, not pay. According to public records, the average salary for a visa holder is around 140k at Apple. At that level I wouldn't expect stock and bonus to be particularly earth-shatter

Well in academia, and generally in research, interviews are about 1.5 days of solid interviews, plus an hour presentation. In normal times, add a good dose of jetlag. I once interviewed at a place that was almost two solid days of 30 minute

There are plenty of agencies under the president who need to be as independent as possible of day-to-day control by politicians. Especially in law enforcement. Not great if you consider democracy to the be a universally good thing of which

That isn't quite what they said though, at least in the quoted text. They said they had no plans to block or throttle internet traffic. Regulations can have a broad effect limiting what businesses can do in a variety of ways beyond the
