Why would you follow code review policy when you're writing and installing malware? Are you expecting a Change Management meeting? Guy wrote a program and installed it, not like it was part of production code base.

Now, why he had access to AD, that's a different and very interesting question that does raise the same sort of question you're alluding to.

Because journals in your field are a tool just as are labs and their respective instruments. It's absurd to hire a scientist, and expect them to bring their own NMR, or beakers, or scales. Taxpayer funded subscriptions to scientific journals are a drop in the bucket. Trump taking yet another vacation at Mar-a-lago costs more than those subscriptions.

Ads suck, and using something like Brave all of a sudden makes browsing faster and more pleasant. I'm done being shilled to. Not their business model? Too bad, it's not my "business model" to waste my time giving attention to shouting ads for products I will never buy.

If there's a technical way to avoid ads, I'll do it. If there isn't - I will simplify my life and cut YouTube out of it.
