Huh? In what way did the left cross it first?
Forgetting authors, misspelling them or the journals, putting a wrong digit etc... could be citation typos. I don't see how you add 5 non-existing authors and put a different—but conceptually plausible—journal in the bibtex.

Besides, I would think most people are using bibliographic managers like Zotero&co..., which will pull metadata through DOIs or such.

The errors look a lot more like what happens when you ask an LLM for some sources on xyz.

Yes. If you're curious and willing to spend ca. half an hour on the question, I can recommend this excellently done video from the channel 'fern': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHsONupIdlo

I think the point is that the 'people'/their remains might be findable, but trace or proof of their civilization would not?
It seems like it's being done entirely on the publisher end, with them – or friends – benefiting:

> For example, a single researcher who was associated with Technoscience Academy benefited from more than 3,000 additional illegitimate citations. Some journals from the same publisher benefited from a couple hundred additional sneaked citations.

Perhaps this publisher or others also offer this as some kind of backroom deal / service.

Ah, really? My feeling (in Berlin) has always been that because of its grip on CDJs, Rekordbox dominates.

But this is a quite unfortunate, at least on my MBP 2014, Rekordbox (and Mixxx, mentioned elsewhere in the thread) send the fans into overdrive immediately while quickly becoming sluggish (just about the last thing you want from a tool for DJing), while Traktor keeps things quiet and responsive.

Thank you. Incredible that 'cattle' isn't even mentioned once in the newspaper article.
Sure, but then there is another election. After the election is before the election.
Maybe it's a joke about the (anomalous) detection of faster-than-light neutrinos?

FYI, from cmd+tab you can use the down arrow to get to the window level of the application (then arrow keys to navigate through the windows).

> For the same reason I'm not a fan of tabs in browsers.

I _really_ wish there were a proper integration of tabs into window-switching shortcuts... like some kind of modifier. It would be excellent to be able to transition smoothly between 1) Application switching 2) Window switching 3) Tab switching. 1) -> 2) works on Mac OS with cmd + tab, down arrow when you reach the application, and then arrows to navigate... but it would be great to drill down into tabs in a nice way from there. Or even directly from application switching to tab switching, since one can quickly forget exactly which window a particular tab is in.

Where are you in the EU? In Germany it was in the news a good bit – I believe it was shortly following the start of the von der Leyen commission.

Couldn't they be required to turn over logs of fuel (type? uncertain how it works) use along with some form of inspections?

It's bizarre to see so many (allegedly former 'liberals' or 'lefties', itself a conflation) talking of / agreeing with a "firehose of hatred" supposedly coming from the left. What do these people think of the language and ideas coming from the right?

My suspicion is that they consider the right these days the calm voice of reason – not in spite of the racism, the misogyny, homophobia, or hatred of the poor, but because of these things, because maybe their sympathies simply lie with maintaining the comfortable order that they are used to, not with any of the ideals that they actually claim/ed to uphold.

I'm not sure that resisting government wiretaps is 'good PR' in US political discourse; at best, it's probably a mixed bag.
This isn't at all what you're looking for, but the book Vampyroteuthis Infernalis (Flusser, V. & Bec, L., 2012) might be a fun read for you.

Wow, this really has everything – the poor Brits against the evil Brussels bureaucrats and environmental activists.
I think the post above was referring to Apple, not Google. In the latter case, I think the claim is justified.

Right, but for who?

To be fair, I'd rather be a youtube star than a professional murderer, too.

What Darkmarkets still use cash, western union, PayPal, etc? My understanding is this all died out once bitcoin became a viable currency.

Then again, I guess I'm mostly just thinking of drug-focused markets, not the other kinds... but still. It'd be bizarre if those kept using the payment methods you mentioned.
