What you get in other fields is papers being under submission for literal years. That sort of thing can kill a carer if it happens early on.
The nice thing about conferences a venues is that you get a definite reply by a deadline. Sure, it's a bit of a scramble, but you do get a few months.

Firefox should really strip down the browser to the core, make that performant and secure.

Quite rich of the USA to talk about narco states or whatnot when they’ve been dealing the worst drug of all, capitalism, that doesn’t just kill individuals but is also destroying our whole habitat.
"The number of women globally who commit violent crimes is very small – in 2021 they were responsible for just 10% of homicides. Indeed, women are far more likely to be victims than perpetrators. But when women do kill, in many cases the victim is a male partner or family member and there is a history of domestic abuse."
"Arduino wasn’t valuable because it was just a microcontroller company. It was valuable because it was a commons. And you can’t apply enterprise legal frameworks to a commons without destroying it"
You also can't buy a #commons, at least without destroying it as a commons. The key point about a commons is that it isn't property.

For example, with “AI” hypers will tell you that you’ll be “unemployable” and “get left behind” while doomers say “it will kill us all”.
