go on…

I wonder why the co-conspirator is not name in the article.

that’s a lot. good one.

How can it be personal attacks. It is simple logic. I give you a simple example -> The research conducted in certain countries usually is based on industry needs of the country. In China, for example, the have demand in the technology of space exploration and High-speed rail. So you’ll see a lot of research being churned out speedily by a number of local researchers due to the immediate demand in the country. You’ve touched about ball bearing tech, for example, and this is an example of recent research article for that which could be beneficial in the HSR areas. When those people in the same country citing each other, we can’t simply claim they’re doing it as a matter of convenience. It could be an indicator that the subject itself is the top priority in the country.

Another point to consider -> If the journal where the article have been written is in the Scopus index, there’s even low probability for the work to be of low value, no matter who has been citing them.

Of course that the general idea, but there’s still room to debate.

what exactly am I violating?

Man… that’s based on Scopus index. Do you even know what you’re talking about.

Whats the need to involve Fox News into this? We are dealing with science and technology matters. At least I expect something more academic in nature.

Anyway, is this not good enough source for. you? SJR - International Science Ranking

Can you share some examples of fake science developed by China?

They rule out the play store.

that’s interesting POV.

You don’t seem to know what you are talking about. Are you a child or on a primary school or something? Read more.

He has dual citizenship - French and UAE.

Bill Gates during the early years, yes. But now, I thought he’s turned 180°.

is there any reason research you know of that supports this? I am interested in the idea of keep learning to prevent degrading.

I expect that for posts but not for votes. Inherently, we don’t want our votes to be public - that kind of defeat the purpose.

Lemmy is already a privacy nightmare, in some way. There was a comment showing the screengrab of those peiple who upvoted and downvoted a post. Basically, if you self-host an instance, you’ll have access to these. This can easily be weaponized by certain organizations that want to create profiling of lemmy users, e.g NSA and Intelligence agencies.

yes, I am one of those who are also getting bored of it. But this doesn’t mean that I am part of the market that they targeted. They might me targeting certain segments or even service providers such as game developers or console makers etc. The technology is still in it advent stage so it is too early to say wether they are going to fail.

Sorry, I disagree with this kind of generalisation. To be rational, Just because you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean everyone else is on the same ship. I am very sure there are certain people who will benefit from this and want it.

which countries are they? I guess somewhere in Europe?

In my country which is fairly progressing, (and I presume most South East Asia countries at least), the infrastructure are not conducive to riders or even pedestrians. Roads are build with no pavement for people to walk by, even in residential areas. The bicycle lane are pathetically small and narrowly designed that riders have to dangerously share the small strips of lane with other vehicles. People will use car even when going to shops that will only take 5 minutes walk.

They want to reduce the cost of constructions, I guess. But I wonder how much the country can save in the healhcare system by providing good infrastructure resulting in health-minded citizens that prefer to walk and ride.

I use encfs and sync it to dropbox etc. Then use gopass password manager to store password in the encfs folders. Not fully auto-integrated but good enough for me.

maybe the legend? The colour assignment is confusing.
