What is your favorite movie of all time?
  • so one thing I never got when. I was watching robocop was the danger of having mega corporations owning public services. I never gave it a second thought, and liked robocop cause hey robot cop action 😃

    now we are living in a reality where billionaires and mega corporations own public services. it's scary

  • They're eating the pets
  • oh lol, you're right.

    I was blown away when he said aborting babies after birth. that's not abortion, it's murder. in my mind if I have a candidate that is so blatantly ignorant of fundamental facts, he shouldn't even be on the ballot. yet millions of people will vote for him

    Resume work from backup on another device?
  • I use syncthing for this purpose all the time. I seemlessly move from my work PC, home PC or laptop. I sync my data directories and most of my config settings. some are different per system (monitors, etc). 10/10 highly recommend

  • What's a life lesson you learned the hard way that you'd want to share with others to help them avoid the same mistake?
  • check where your retirement and savings are invested. buy a low cost index fund (fidelity and vanguard have great ones).

    do not invest in any funds that have high fees. (there are plenty of good funds with fees around 0.1%)

    I split my savings between:

    • total domestic stock index
    • total international stock index
    • cash/money market/bonds
    • a small amount in a sector fund with higher growth potential (e. g. tech) or risky investments

    We live in a meritocracy.
  • there are plenty of low cost open access journals run by nonprofits and professional societies. however junior researchers when building their reputation try and publish in journals that are as prestigious as possible, without worrying about cost, apc, open access etc.

  • We live in a meritocracy.
  • iwriting reviews is time consuming, unpaid, and doesn't help the reviewers career. so it takes a while because reviewers are already busy and don't prioritize writing reviews too much.

    quality of the reviews is questionable. 10% of the reviews are through and provide valuable feedback. the remaining 90% are cursory "yeah this is interesting, publish it" or "not interesting/outside scope".

    very very few reviews find and report scientific errors
