Linux is a kernel.
If a data scientist at Google uses R instead of SAS (or some other proprietary statistical computing language) while a data scientist at a non-profit is forced to use SAS because of organizational constraints there is no abuse.
The paper, I think, makes a more interesting claim than you give it credit for: those areas that can afford scholarly work tend to make use of free resources the most. Based on this work, it is possible that open access alone is not enough to give poorer universities, etc. the access to scholarly work.
It's not clear what "agenda" you think the paper has. It seems like an interesting piece of work.
I view it simply as a catchy name and nothing more.
Our training set consists of a large set of high-resolution images collected from theInternet, which we downscale to a random size between 500 and 1000 pixels, and then randomlycrop to256×256. We evaluate on three diverse benchmark datasets collected independently ofour training set to demonstrate that our method generalizes beyond the training distribution: thewidely usedKodak[22] dataset (24 images), as well as theCLIC2020[43] testset (428 images), andDIV2K[2] validation set (100 images).

Xyletol gum is also claimed to fight S. Mutans.
I don't think there is actually any good evidence that what I've done in that regard should be promoted. Price's book never promoted these things either.
(spelling)
If SBM did ANY due diligence, I'm Pretty sure they'd notice that the foundation, (founded in 1999) is pretty far apart from Price's book, "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration". He died in 1948 and thus, had no connection to the foundation bearing his name. It's like they didn't read his book at all and just assumed The Weston A. Price Foundation was echoing his findings. The Weston A. Price Foundation is essentially wack fanfic, very loosely based on his findings, with tonnes of other "holistic" horse shit thrown in.
Dr. Price himself was a proponent of many things that are coming into favor now, such as not overly processing food, not having white bread, getting adequate amounts of vit. d, vit. a, calcium and some others.
Source: Unlike SBM/QW, I've actually read his book.
FWIW, I enjoyed copious amounts of milk as a kid until about the age of 20, its just about all I drank. My vit. a/d levels must have been through the roof vs the average person. (In Canada vit. d3 has to be added to milk by law.) I'm 37, have all 32 teeth, sans cavities, yes even the wisdom teeth. Now adays, I prefer to just drink water and get vits. a/d from cod liver oil. My diet mostly consists of much vegetables and animal foods. Cooked veg and meat are always cooked in butter. I've never been overweight, my bp is 115/65. I'm super sedentary in the winter, quite active in the summer.
Edited for spelling
Do you know of any epics close to Hyperion? I have been searching for a long time and have not found anything on par with it.
Dune (often named) and The Expanse were not meant for me and have been ruined for me by the movies/TV shows. The old Asimov stories are... old.
I read many larger volumes such as the Commonwealth Saga, Three Body Problem etc. but nothing caught the way Hyperion did for me.
Funnily, from the many books and series I read, the ones I remember most fondly were on the other end of the spectrum of Hyperion: Bobiverse and The Murderbot Diaries - both short, much less beautiful language and more on the funny side but original and thought provoking.
The finale in the last book really touched my heart and let me think about love and how much to value the time you have with each other.

I never thought to find this in a science fiction space opera - I was shocked.
The idea in the book I am talking about is crazy and I cannot fathom how one would feel if something like this really happened. It is wonderful and sad at the same time.
That said and totally apart from it, the whole thing is a masterpiece. You have to read all books of the canon, even if the first book with the unique stories seems strange - I could not put it down though. Apart from that it also has great storytelling, wonderful language, crazy ideas (a house with rooms on different... no spoiler :) and more.
I've read this sentence a couple times and have no clue what you're trying to say. By this logic anyone who uses AWS is working in a "shit" market, which is not the case.
"it's a lot of risk for something you could probably do with one or two people"
Have you ever tried to do this? It is harder than you might think. In addition, one or two people will cost ~300k/year which is a lot.
Your comment is ridiculously dismissive and poorly argued.
Do I email them just saying I want to talk about your business? Walk in and strike up a conversation? In the latter case I feel like I'm actively obstructing their ability to work and not sure about the former.
I like the idea, just not sure how to implement it

I've looked a bit at CRM integrations and they all do things slightly differently in ways that make it hard to factor out common pieces. Glad to hear that isn't the case in the event data space.
