Right the opposite. Try.

Well burning letters is a difficult thing, because often there is not a suitable place for it.

If you are serious, check the mailbox for messages at your site :)

Doing it for decades. It works better if you burn the letter. I even jump over the fire. No joke.
porompompero··on I fell out of love with academia
Maybe he could be just underrated is you change the evaluation metrics from quantity to quality?
porompompero··on I fell out of love with academia
"If anything isn't lined up perfectly, you're more likely to have a hellish experience"... imagine you start working in a group led by someone with preferences for hiring like-minded people or other biases... in 10 years of career I have seen biases involving religion, family, region...
porompompero··on I fell out of love with academia
This is a very balanced opinion. I will add a more radical tone: if you pursue your true intellectual dreams in academia you will surely find all kinds of obstacles and probably fail.
porompompero··on A Brazilian special-forces unit fighting to save the Amazon
Exactly my thoughts, they need an army not a A-Team unit.
porompompero··on ASML is threatening to leave the Netherlands
I am an expat in the NL and boy, the attitude towards non-Dutch-looking citizens is IMHO degrading.
porompompero··on Universities Have a Computer Science Problem
Overall, I see a conversion towards mcdonalds-style university management happening world-wide. More or less what you explain, also based mostly on PR.
porompompero··on AI-generated images got through peer review [video]
Interesting point, but running towards the precipice might be just one of the solutions. To me, also an academic and considering to leave after an h index of 14 obtained in just a decade, the problem is the noise that all those shitty papers generate. Perhaps we should use AI to classify them ad noise vs valuable contribution?
porompompero··on Universities Have a Computer Science Problem
From the ignorance of a European scholar: what is anti-intellectualism? What role does it play in an academic institution?
porompompero··on People hate the idea of car-free cities until they live in one
Imagine that a toxic substance like asphalt would be in every street of the world... oooops! That's real!
porompompero··on European Space Agency to measure Earth at millimeter scale
Sea level rise.
porompompero··on AI-generated images got through peer review [video]
Peer review is done under lack of sufficient time available. This is not mentioned often enough.
porompompero··on For polyglots, there's something special about their native tongue
This happens to me not in my native language but in the language in which I learned mathematics.
porompompero··on Why star dunes are rarely recognised in the rock record
If the dunes move, the sand remixes, and then, how can the strata be meaningfully explored?
porompompero··on Why star dunes are rarely recognised in the rock record
Been there, read carefully the entire paper --- couple of minor editorial mistakes and a doubt i express nelow, only. Nice study.

Fascinating to think what could have happened in Africa at the beginning of the Holocene: wildfire ravaging NW Africa and the West Africant Monsoon retreating to the South?

porompompero··on The virtuous mean between time drunkenness and work martyrdom
Are there 2 distinct ways of being time-drunk, one of calmness and one of excitement?
porompompero··on In Europe, trains are full, and more are on the way
Thus was seen by many as a waste when built, but really it works better than in Germany in terms of quality of experience.
porompompero··on In Europe, trains are full, and more are on the way
I have not hear this point before, please would you mind to elaborate, if possible with sources to share? Thanks.
porompompero··on Schumpeter on Strategy (2019)
Schumpeter is great and systematically underrated. Another problem: his insights are often cherry-picked.
porompompero··on Audi puts big EV push on the back burner
What does this mean for the economy of Europe in the long term?
porompompero··on Network Science by Albert-László Barabási
Curious about what you meant by "his name is also used as verb/improper noun in our household i".
porompompero··on Advancements in machine learning for machine learning
Sorry for my ignorance: why does each experiment cost millions?
porompompero··on In the gut's 'second brain,' key agents of health emerge
Try putting some iogurt after soap for 2 minutes just before the final cleansing in the shower. You might, like me, start thinking beyond the second brain idea. It is all connected.
porompompero··on 75% of Software Engineers Faced Retaliation Last Time They Reported Wrongdoing
It is very brief and sharp, perhaps pro-active on creating an environment where bullshit does not happen, so perhaps optimistically, it does not need to be reported.
porompompero··on 75% of Software Engineers Faced Retaliation Last Time They Reported Wrongdoing
Extensible to nearly all professions? In academia it happens..
porompompero··on After Boeing declines to pay up, ransomware group leaks 45 GB of data
Nice, it sounds to me similar to the earthquake Richter scale.
porompompero··on A space station fell to Earth. An Australian boy brought it to San Francisco
Indeed, and perhaps fear of precedent?
