I don't know about that. These errors seem pretty basic if you look at the code. How did it even pass a LINT-style static check? Are they not doing any static code analysis? The entire codebase seems suspect based on these issues. There could be thousands of these in the code.
I'm pretty sure automation for data related tasks has been going on for some time. Do you have a secretarial pool at work? Telephone switchboard operators? Or have you seen any stock market floor brokers/runners lately? The demand for competent people in the data/IT sectors is at an all time high.
Even though emissions from passenger cars was down, emissions from planes and trucks are up. Hopefully the Tesla push to electrify trucking will come into reality on the market soon.
Android is not really open source. Unless you can compile an image completely from source code and use that on your computer it isn't open. It is "fake" open. The closed binary blobs could be doing literally anything.
"I'm convinced that we might find varying degrees of the same problem in other sectors, such as psychology and even economics."
Not only those fields, but the hard sciences as well. I suspect most of the "peer reviewed" material is unintelligible to the people reading them, but the reviewers would never admit to it. It is a major problem, especially since the news outlets and other special interests use this "research" as authoritative and above reproach. I mean after all, it was "peer reviewed" right?
Well that is completely dumb. Peer review is a "trust based system"? As in "trust me, my data, my premise and conclusions are correct"? Wow. Why bother having review at all then? To check for spelling errors? The fact that these papers were not flagged immediately is very concerning. They were obviously satirical if you read them. Even the basic premise of them was ridiculous. If you can't tell bad actors from good, and publish everything, what is the point? How much of academic research is fake, or false, or untrue? Everyone always treats academic research papers as authoritative. This exposes that fraud.
He didn't just falsify data. They wrote papers that were ridiculous in premise, content and conclusions and got them published. It exposes the fact that peer review is a joke in these "professions". That is what it exposes. The media spews much of their drivel in response to published "studies". It is a real problem.
Exactly. That is why we hate SJWs. They aren't for equality, they think of certain segments as "powerless girls". He probably didn't even think about that sexist statement. Did Rosa Parks think of herself that way? SJWs know nothing about social justice. SJW are all about revenge fantasies, shaming others, and virtue signaling.
Why do you keep repeating the lie that they "got caught in peer review"? They didn't. 7 out of 20 of the papers were published and they were all "peer reviewed". The only reason they got "caught" is because they told everyone they did it!
"but these folks spent significant amounts of effort to get their stuff past the journals."
Really? Writing about dog rape in dog parks and dildo training? That is the point: if that crap gets "past the journals", what other crap gets through regularly?
The university is likely concerned about a black eye if they have rogue researchers submitting falsified papers to academic journals and they did nothing about it.
Annnnddd this is the problem right here: what the university SHOULD be "concerned" about is that much of the "research" coming from these institutions is laughable and peer-review is a complete joke. They should NOT be concerned with getting a "black eye" because of some procedural issue that wasn't followed. I truly believe you WERE a CIO from higher education. It is people like you that are the problem.

Another conclusion they made: "Horrific Air Pollution in Europe Reaches 7 cigarettes per day equivalent, a pack a day in India and China"

Very interesting.
A basic static code analyzer would have found these. It has nothing to do with C.

Sure they would. Gun owners are regularly protecting their "freedoms".
Exactly. Everyone wants these huge margins. Complete greed.
6 percent margin is plenty for a mass manufactured product. The tech industry is so greedy.

She might have identified as a feather or an eagle or a tree. They shouldn't assume she was a woman just based on biology. Rather insensitive.
We already have ad blockers that block ALL ads. All ads are disruptive by design.
Yeah right. We can barely make software that works reliably, but AI is right around the corner, right?
India and China aren't looking at the US for guidance on AGW. They are just looking out for themselves.
....they are stealing our data too.

"Disabling the app DOES have the same effect as deleting it, except it doesn't free up any storage space."
You couldn't possibly know this because the source code is not available. When will people realize that closed source is the problem here?
"Dell didn't show the device powered on"
Wow. Real impressive.

Retired CIO from higher education here.

You mean I am not a technocrat who believes in virtue signaling? Very true. Normal people would call me a leftist anti-corporatist.
I am a real leftist. Not your fake SJW virtue signaling BS.
