I mean, this could be used to see things about the non-existent climate change, right? It must be banned! Or maybe put 100% tariffs on every byte of data!
Yes, you must inject one byte for every byte you take; can't let you get away with science. Maybe Congress should make it illegal to take publicly available information and use it for scientific purposes.
Since researchers used publicly available orbital information from Starlink satellites , I wonder how long it will be before Musk wants to get paid for the data.

Freshman year is an acclimation and get you non-core stuff out of the way. Taking them out means the easy A's don't inflate your grade point so your reported GPA is mr indicative of your actual major performance. Personally, when I interview I really didn't care about GPA. You got in to a school where we hire, you made it through and graduated; I always thought using them was just a way for a company to say "We hired the brightest." I was more interested in what you did during school, what you were interested in; a few tech questions sorted out what you know.
Years ago, when I got my grad degree, one company wanted to know your undergrad GPA as well. For fuck sake, I got into a school you obviously hire a lot of people from, I graduated , and my undergrad was over a decade ago. Needless to say, I didn't accept their offer to interview; I suspect with my initial reaction to their request it would not have gone well.
The real problem is grade inflation, which makes GA even less important.

#1 in Poverty? Uh you mean Puerto Rico, followed by Louisiana and then Mississippi.
#1 in highest taxes? On $100,000 income, Alaska ranks #1 with the lowest total tax while Oregon has the highest. California ranks #41.
#1 in lowest literacy rates? Nope! Most people can READ THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE. They are not illiterate. Language is the primary driver of NOT KNOWING ENGLISH versus schooling.

"More than $8 trillion of capital is expected to be invested, a staggering sum. We see an enormous opportunity for private capital to finance a portion of this along with public capital."
Translated: “We’ll get all the upside and foist the downside on public investors. “
What exactly is the "public capital" they speak of here? Are they offering pre-build IPOs or some equally delusional investment "opportunity" while pretending vaporware could never dot-bomb again? History is a bit curious if we're still that dumb, or if we've become even dumber.
