To be fair, I was also curious what Trump would do when he didn't have to worry about reelection or, indeed, living much past the end of his term. Curious in the way you see the edge of a cliff and wonder what it would be like to jump off.
"As people do better, they start voting like Republicans—unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing" - Republican strategist Karl Rove
"It is a well known fact that reality has liberal bias." - Stephen Colbert
"The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant" - Maximilien de Robespierre
Is this just something fascist autocrats do?
Not just the fascist ones.
My thought as well.

"OLAP". Now there's a name I've not heard in a long time.
Obviously NYT is just about narrative construction but it would be nice to know some figures like:
* what is that in percentage of researchers?
* and grants
* how many are typical in a year?
* what is the net in each direction for this time period?
* and for a typical year
I happen to know rwo researchers who got a position in Canada and several Canadians who got positions at US schools. That just seems normal from my limited perspective but maybe it's just because I feed them Molson and poutine so they keep coming around.
Remember, numbers given without percentages and percentages given withouts without numbers are always propaganda.
This has been your Defense against the Dark Arts class for today. Do your homework.
Saved from Claude by
Suppose your kids figure out that if they ask you permission you're likely to say no. So they just say "oh, it's an emergency, there's no time to ask permission, I need to make a decision right now" and go and do whatever they want.
That's why Trump keeps declaring emergencies. The US has so many emergency acts that the president can give himself most powers, including ones that are explicitly forbidden in the US constitution, just by saying "it's an emergency" in an executive order. It's also not just Trump. No president since Roosevelt has been able to resist using emergency powers.* Trump's currently got fifty some on the go.
* Ford, Johnson, Kennedy and Eisenhower didn't make new emergencies, but they did continue their predecessors'.
Curious how if you or I take something illegally
You did. Your duly elected representative did something illegal. He's not going to jail or getting fined because apparently he's immune to the law. You're not either because collective punishment, etc. You're also not getting a refund of the money you stole from yourself. Consider it a lesson in taking important shit seriously.
Weight is a huge issue. More sensible would just be to put exposure limits on the staff like they do in other radiation exposed professions. The staff won't like it though, because those long intercontinental flights are sought after. The airlines might, because its a great excuse to replace your expensive senior staff with cheaper, younger workers.
People use "ionizing radiation" a little carelessly. Technically the lowest energy UV is not ionizing (it cannot remove an electron entirely) but it can break bonds and damage DNA. UV is higher energy than visible light. The radio waves from a cell phone or a microwave are lower energy than visible. A lot lower energy.
You've been reading Slashdot too long. I understand, it's very, very easy to assume that every reply is disagreeing with you.
Also, here you go.
Old books are generally freely available. Fortunately they've been scanned and preserved. Here's your A History of Babylonia and Asyria. There's no need to go to all the trouble of buying a copy and destroying it because it's in the public domain.
That would violate copyright. The key is in the first word: copy. They're transforming a copy they bought and paid for into another format. If they make a copy of that copy and give it to you, that's violating copyright.
The article was posted on Slashdot. It's from 404, just like this article.
But "rare" doesn't mean what the GP thinks it does.
Trainers can't afford to buy actually rare, desirable books.
Why would they want to? Books, as in the artifact itself, that are rare and desirable are usually well out of copyright and tend to have digital copies freely available. Here's the Book of Kells, a one of a kind national treasure of Ireland. Or the Magna Carta, or the complete works of Shakespeare.
And there's no reason for anything under copyright to be both rare and desirable since we can just print more.
It won't happen again because whoever makes Artifactory fixed their bug. There are definitely no more bugs, nope nope nope.
