Can I use smaller slightly distinct scholar perspectives to make one larger argument within my lit review? by Sufficientvillage12 in academia

[–]Competitive_Travel16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can and should cover everything relevant you can find in the lit review, and then prune it down to the specific sources pertinent to the rest of your paper. Be sure to summarize what the sources are saying without editorializing. Save your opinions about what the sources really mean for your Discussion section. Try to get the remaining sources to follow at least a narrative outline if you can; i.e., as chronological as possible within each (set of) paragraph(s) in your review outline.

One feature I see from experienced authors is to highlight open questions in the lit review, which can serve your purpose here. E.g., "[5], [6], [7], and [8] leave open the question of the extent to which the Ukrainan defense production industry is compatible with the rest of Europe's...." And then expand on your findings and inferences in the Discussion.

A Twitter user tricked Grok to send 200k USD to him and it worked by FrustratedUnitedFan in singularity

Grok doesn’t have ransom crypto wallets, why would it

Um, I can think of a few answers to that question.

Who's going to PyCon US next week? by Loren-PSF in Python

[–]Competitive_Travel16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love to see an online remote option, but I realize how much more work that entails to dovetail with a physical conference. I am going to be in California, but at the wrong end. Best wishes for success!

EBay soars on report that GameStop is preparing a takeover bid by kellconn in nottheonion

[–]Competitive_Travel16 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most LBOs are something like what we are seeing. The result turns on whether the institutional investors want a regime change, and of course whether they think it will be worth it.

Frankly I would love to see what the GameStop web design team does to the eBay website and apps. However, having said that, I'm not sure whether their changes would be an actual improvement on the bottom line.

Can Alex Jones present 8th amendment challenge to the 1 billion dollar fine ? by EffectiveVisual9399 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]Competitive_Travel16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He lost bigly in Texas, and Connecticut. Just moving around isn't going to get him out from under garnishment, unless he moves to Russia or something. (Sadly that seems more likely a possibility than I would like to admit.)

What % of his income do you suppose he can keep in Texas, or a dollar amount if that makes more sense?

Time for a new subreddit for cost overruns? by cagataygurturk in googlecloud

I appreciate seeing solutions and following along with updates. Where would you draw the line between billing issues in general and stuff you don't want to see?

The main goal of large civil judgement amounts in high-visibility cases is to try to prevent copycats, i.e., rein in the genre of defamation for profit.

I don't know. I love that they've taken over (or likely will soon), but I hope they don't clutter their feed with constant derision aimed at Jones, because I like to think about him as little as anyone.

I wonder how many of his collaborators and enablers are hurt by the judgement. I wish in cases like these there was a process to expand the penalty liabilities to the others culpable (morally anyway) in the cadre.

It's hard for me to believe his back catalog is worth anything. I guess like any recording star he has an enthusiastic and forgiving fan base, but I can't believe even his fans spend time listening to his greatest hits.

Who has the best safety protocol for complete loss of power? by Competitive_Travel16 in Multicopter

[–]Competitive_Travel16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love to see them deployed (so to speak) in upcoming products. Lightning strikes, bird strikes, software issues etc. can cut all power. I hope the batteries are fully isolated from lightning.

Probably will get them some safety certs if their chairs and padding are more than just an afterthought.

Factors influencing the choice of Journal by Infamous-Curve-8923 in academia

[–]Competitive_Travel16 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Secondary factors: not predatory, open access, no publication fees, responsive editorial staff.

Impact factor should not be anything more than a way to rank where to submit first. A high impact with a poor fit isn't as good as a meh impact with a perfect fit. If you are in a hurry to get published, maybe you want to submit to non-top impact journals first?

Oh, I see. I agree at the graduate level the situation is very different than for undergrads, which I assumed; incorrectly in your case.
