I'd bet the worker-bee employees at gamestop are pretty concerned right now too. Not the teenagers at the stores as much as the people in their 30s and 40s that work for the company sales, marketing, IT, accounting etc that have mortgages to pay and kids to feed.
How are the worker-bee employees affected by gyrations in the stock?
Kinky people sometimes have sex in the kitchen.
Isn't having sex in the kitchen fairly "vanilla"?
(Well, except perhaps if you use actual vanilla, then it's not quite so "vanilla"....)
"...including the only unionized positions in the U.S., representing a fulsome embrace of the gig economy."
I wonder if the article writer knows what the word "fulsome" means?

On the face of it, it seems outgassing (release of gas within a material) would be a horrendous problem.
With metal it's a significant issue for many spacecraft where volatile material within the metal is released in space,
but can then condense on cold parts of the satellite. That can be particularly bad if it's condensing on your detector which is
cooled for e.g. IR detection.
With all the organic material of various types inside wood, it would seem that it would become far far worse.

Except it isn't "US infrastructure". It is owned by The Ana G. Méndez University National Science Foundation of the University of Central Florida, not the U.S. government.
You seem to have got three institutions munged together here.
UCF and Universidad Ana G. Méndez operate the Arecibo observatory under an agreement with the NSF.
Arecibo is an NSF facility, and so very much part of the US.
Hopefully this detection didn't rely on subtracting a 12th order polynomial from the spectrum, as was done with the "discovery" of phosphine on Venus...

arXiv doesn't publish everything it receives, it has a moderation policy:

If you want to publish any old crap, you have to use viXra

This was brought up in the press conference. Apparently on the gas giants it's generated by hydrogen under very high pressures.
But on Venus there's no free hydrogen, let alone under very high pressure.
I've not been able to get well researched answers to some simple questions [...]I haven't even seen anyone make a serious effort in answering these questions. Without quantifiable data how am I supposed to know if I should care, how am I supposed to know if this is a significant issue?
The National Science Foundation and the American Astronomical Society hosted a workshop on the effects of satellite constellations on astronomy in July and the presentations are available here:
https://aas.org/satellite-cons...
This workshop gathered together astronomers, satellite operators, dark-sky advocates, policy-makers, and other stakeholders and interested parties to discuss, understand, and quantify the impacts of large satellite constellations on astronomy and the human experience of the night sky. The goal was to work collectively towards effective solutions to mitigate those impacts and to publish them in a report which will be widely distributed.
the "closed access" ones get money so they also print them on paper. there is no problem.
In my field (astrophysics) most of the "closed access" major journals have transitioned to online only as well.
You do know that ORACLE is an acronym, right?
In many writing styles acronyms, unlike initialisms, are written with only the first letter capitalized.
This is more common in the UK than in the US, e.g. on BBC web sites (BBC being an initialism and not an acronym).
I'm a professional astronomer.
When I work with multiple images it's because I use the individual images to derive light curves. I certainly don't want to lose my timing information by combining them all together. I rarely come across instances in the literature (i.e. ApJ, A&A, MNRAS etc.) where people are co-adding many images of the same field (certainly not "thousands").
Most astronomy these days is done by compositing thousands of digital images and averaging them.
No it isn't.
