First, what counts as plagiarism is whatever the institution decides and the employee agreed to.
But I think Harvard's rule is so strict, when it comes to non-fiction, that I think it slows down science. A fact should be allowed to be repeated verbatim, because attempts to paraphrase said fact inevitably change its meaning.
Twitter’s slide into irrelevance and extremism as it decays into X has hastened the explosive growth of a whole host of newer social networks.
The death of Twitter is greatly exaggerated. While revenue is down to 2014 levels, the number of annual users is growing steadily upward (aside from a plateau 2015-2020). https://www.businessofapps.com/data/twitter-statistics/

The idea has merit, and it may even be the best idea, but I don't think it will prove sufficient. I'm an AI Doomer. Here's my 11-minute explanation on why from 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk-0nu4fg1w.
There is a conceptual similarity between dataflow programming, as LabVIEW supports, and functional programming. While it's understandable that the developers may have been unfamiliar with functional programming in the 1980s, there is no good reason why LabVIEW hasn't adopted it yet. See https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/For-Each-Element-in-Map/idi-p/4219633.
Instead, LabVIEW is stuck with clunky while loop frames with a stop sign node to wire up in the middle, broadcast events symbolized by satellite dishes that go who knows where due to no command line grep, and no easy way to maintain and pass around global state (like Scala implicits do).
