Stopped reading when they said we were going to have a social credit system because of it.

I care about privacy but I would rather the government be responsible for my personal data than a bunch of random companies with potentially questionable ethics and poor security practice

Actually, the scientists and engineers have been solving the problem, it’s government that’s slowing us down

It’s a pity how policy isn’t decided and debated on the floor of parliament where it belongs, but instead in the back rooms of a major party

It would be good if scientists stopped publishing in closed access journals, with online publishing being the norm it’s difficult to see were a traditional publisher fits in

Please, please, please the politicians know what’s best not some “scientists” or “their constituents”. If it’s good for business it’s good for us /s

And half-arsedly pour bitumen all over the place

There’s been a recent increase in some scientists creating Youtube videos to accompany published works

Didn’t know about that, that’s pretty cool

With these conditions you’d be fairly determined enter such a career

I thought this was bs but just looked it up and there appear to be APCs (Article Processing Charges) upwards of $1000, however, closed access journals have comparable fees, I suppose these fees are to do with reviewing and formatting the paper

Definitely my experience
