I am very fond of https://zenodo.org, especially for small datasets for scientific publications.

This doesn't make sense. Being scooped means other people published the same idea before you.

If he truly believes the released data were fake, he can for sure publish his results. It’s not unusual for scientists to have different views on certain subjects. Some journals even have specific discussion sections for contradictory results. Finding the truth and correcting scientific records is also an achievement.

And at least, in the filed of biology/medicine, there are journals accepting “second first” papers, for example https://elifesciences.org/articles/30076 .

And quit a lot of publications are not grand breaking ideas. Incremental improvements can also be published.

I don’t understand your friend’s rationale to abandon the whole project he already started and didn’t want to find the truth and prove his theory (maybe it’s a different field thing).

Very interesting. I alway thought the key of longevity is speaking Japanese.

It might come as a surprise to you. But a lot of countries in Asia consider US and China are both bullies.

Just look how many Asia countries joined the US-lead economic sanction/coercion. Very few.

It is overly simplification. I think the sentiment in China is really not about supporting Russia; it is about anti-US.

Because quite a lot of people in China think US is organizing an Eastern NATO, to "destabilize" the whole region. For example, the nuclear-powered marine deal with Australia, etc. Biden’s first year was much harsher on China than Russia.

In 1999, NATO bombed the Chinese embassy, killing 3, that certainly did not help.

It is a cross-border banking system, widely used to do international transactions.

Thanks for developing this wonderful tool. Just tried it. The HTML output looks great.

I use R Markdown extensively. I am wondering if R Markdown is retiring? Should I begin to switch to Quarto? And is there a way to change the default code font to ligatures fonts (for example Fira Code)?

> It blows my mind that she was found guilty for defrauding investors, but not guilty for defrauding patients about their test results.

Not excusing it. But maybe the jurors think the doctors and/or insurance companies ordered/interpreted these tests have some responsibilities too?

It seems Zotero still doesn't support 3rd party cloud service (Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud etc).

I really recommend Paperpile, especially its Chrome extension. In my opionion, nothing beats Google Docs on collaborative writing.

Nuclear submarine deal with Australia, now portable nuclear reactors. I really hope the world is not heading for nuclear arms race.

Looks quite good. Reminds me of the R Bookdown project (https://bookdown.org/).

That article mentioned Ai Weiwei spread misinformation doubted the result of the US election and was accused of spreading conspiracy theory on Twitter.

I have watched several documentaries produced by him in the past. Quite disappointed.

Used to be a fan of him until he actively spreading lies of US election. Turned me off.

it seems a lot of unknowns. is there a clear next step?

i agree. the problem i have with the author's comment is "loyal". I think we need to distinguish people from justing trying to make money (apple, microsoft, tesla) and being CCP agents.

The author clearly suggests this American CEO is a "loyal CCP" agent. I am just curious how did she/he spot him?

You can't throw out accusations like that without evidence, what deep CCP contacts Allen Wu has? Elon Musk has a factory in Shanghai, is he "loyal to China with deep CCP contacts" too?

the rogue ceo allen wu is american.

After READING the article, it is about "U.S. surveillance law to be incompatible with EU privacy rights."

There are some problems about TikTok, but it just reminds me how fun internet could be.

How The Epoch Times Created a Giant Influence Machine

"Since 2016, the Falun Gong-backed newspaper has used aggressive Facebook tactics and right-wing misinformation to create an anti-China, pro-Trump media empire."

Haven't been able to find the release schedule, when will MS deliver it?

i agree. sorry.

It is a political thing. Japan has DDBJ (https://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/index-e.html). EU has ENA/EBI (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/home). Maybe China wants to have its own.

More Chinese institutes are encouraging their scientists to deposit human bio-sample data to their own servers. Some grants even require them to do so.

it is possible they changed mind and chose to deposit there.

Because of the highly politicalized nature, some Chinese scientists begin to deposit SARS-CoV-2 sequences to their own databases (hosted in China).

It is a request from the U.S.

based on the article, it is not just semiconductor industry, it is ALL job listing. Wow, kinda of extreme.
