    As a Norwegian person doing research, I am very happy that they are doing this, especially after the recent years’ insane missteps. Massacring scientific funding was one disgrace. Hopefully it makes us more attractive.

    Tuition for non-EU citizens is another disgrace, and only got introduced because Norway is exceptionally bad at tapping into that market of recently graduated Bachelor’s/Master’s/PhD holders that we are educating. We need to have a better pipeline from uni-industry in general for Norwegians too, but for foreigner students who take a whole degree here only to be pushed away after we’ve already invested in them is so backwards. Please fix!

    what you’re saying is LITERALLY false. it’s election interference in germany. his main actions would be covered in Manipulation campaigns in the information space or disinformation campaigns, but you could even make a case it’s a hybrid threat. He’ll probably also indirectly sponsor them monetarily if possible, which should also be illegal.

    EITHER way, the one of the first three actions are all easily observed from the megalomaniac’s behavior.

    If you are trying to argue the courts won’t be able to take action before he gets the AfD in power, sure. Is a law a law if it ain’t enforced? No, I agree there.

    To give you a second opinion from the other guy, I’ve had quite a few Samsungs in a row at this point. From Galaxy S2 to S23Ultra skipping years between every purchase.

    They are effectively the premium vendor of Android, at least for western audiences. The midrange has some good ones, but other companies do well there too. At the high end, Samsung might lose out a bit to google on images of people, but the phones Samsung sell are well built, have a long support life, have lots of features that usually end up being imported to AOSP and/or Google’s own version of Android. The last few generations are the Apple of Android. The AI features they’ve added can be run on device if you want, and idk what the other guy is talking about, but the AI features aren’t that obnoxiously pushed on my device, the S23 Ultra. I have some things on, most things off. Then again, I’ve used HTC for a few years and iPhone for two weeks, so except for helping my dad with his Pixel 6a while that device lasted, I’ve not really tried other brands. The added customization on Samsung is kind of a problem for me, because I don’t feel like changing brands after being able to customize so much out of the box.

    And I’ve never had issues connecting to a simple Windows computer, given that the phone has always been able to use the normal Plug-and-play driver that is there already. If you have a macbook like I do, it’s a bit cringe, but that’s a macbook issue moreso.

    I don’t particularly agree. Publishing is a tricky thing in the private sector, and we’ve seen a lot of scientific suppression by companies. Peer review literally requires the field to assess your work, and doesn’t end with the publication, but is a process that continues forever. Reproduction is a major issue, especially in fields proximal to mine (neuroscience , Medicine and psychology) and the whole process of open science with this type of review process makes it much easier to create papers that are reproducible.

    The external influence is basically a given to produce science that holds up.
