The logic of relativity theory is well studied, there are no logical contradictions in it.

You do not have to go _that_ fast to test and measure this: Hafele–Keating experiment 1971.

Also in, e.g., GPS satellites we measure this all the time.

So you are still less than half a meter long, have no wrinkles and no heart beat? Your body _is_ a clock, just not a very precise one.

No magic is needed, just rather simple physics. It would in fact be far more "magical" if it only affected clocks (all kinds of clocks from mechanical clocks over quartz watches to atomic clocks) but nothing else.

Indeed: they leaked a lot of personal information, including 164 million e-mail addresses and passwords, in 2012.

Mod up parent, the GP has no clue on how science funding works.

I work for a funding agency, and organise or participate in the organisation and management of national and international (European) thematic (i.e. top-down on a specific theme, as opposed to bottom-up where researchers can submit any topic) research calls.

We decide on rubrics for external expert panels to use during their deliberation, such as excellence of the proposal, expected impact of the research (on different levels: academic publications, informing policy decisions, valorisation, possible technological advancements, informing and involving the general public...), quality of the research consortium, data gathering/management/protection/dissemination (usually following FAIR = findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability), ethical considerations, etc...

Never do we ask to count or weight the past publications, but it could be a part of the assessment by the expert panel of the rubric "quality of the research consortium".

While I could imagine politicians interfering with funding decisions on national levels (note that I use the word "imagine", since I never witnessed such interference in any call I was involved in over the years), it becomes quite impossible for international calls where the final decision is taken by a "Call Steering Committee" in which national funding agencies follow a protocol (decided on before and made public in the call document - sometimes those protocols are fairly light, but if the European Commission is involved those become very heavy and several hundreds of pages long).

Indeed. I get daily two or three invitations to publish in "journals" where I would have to pay for my publication in my spam folder, as well as invitations for "holiday conferences". Publishing in those would instantly kill my academic reputation.

Harder than you think, it seems. See, e.g., this transcript where ChatGPT falsely confirms it verified the sources of 6 nonexistent references it gave before:

That is not and has never been the purpose of UNESCO, it is not a research institute.

Indeed, it was the French emperor Napoleon I (who was far from a religious figure) who made family names compulsory for Jews in 1808 and in The Netherlands in 1811.

No, it goes broader than that: for example a drawn caricature (used in an ad) of former Dutch minister-president Jan Peter Balkenende was judged to fall under this legislation in 2005.

It is not the first law of its kind in Europe: several European countries (e.g. Belgium, The Netherlands) have "portrait rights". It is separate from copyright, but it does the same thing as the new Danish legislation. Other countries also have personality rights.

The problem remains enforcing this right, especially internationally (e.g. if the images are on servers in other countries on the other side of the globe).

Preparations for Minitel/Télétel started in 1978, it launched in 1980 - a lot earlier than 30 years ago.
