We need a hostile takeover of some journals OR simply move-in-mass out of publishing with them (more difficult and challenging)

Votan durante años a la derecha que abandona los servicios públicos. Después gobierna la izquierda, que rompe la tendencia desinversora y se pone manos a la obra para arreglar el carajal, pero no hace magia. ¿A quién le protestan? A la izquierda. Pasa en Cataluña y donde mires.

Kees .. a colleague was telling me that in Belgium and the Netherlands it is super hard to get any renewables at home because the grid cannot hold it anymore. Is there some truth to this? That would put much of the decentralized narrative to bed

I want to add. A long time ago I decided to embrace DORA as my go-to for future career development and drop entirely the goal of getting published by a 'big' name. It's super risky, but I cannot be complicit. It just doesn't add up with an overall sustainable society (from a very wide lens)

One self, during an interview, can be open about that, but then it means being more transparent than usual and radical about something... And many will not like it. Yeah, you are right. The incentives, demand side, need to change. Yet, these follow a systemic problem >>> hiper-everything in life

Daniel I. Avila-Ortega @daniel-iavor.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

I doubt scholars will follow... Particularly many from sustainability sciences. We, since I am an early career in sust~, fell for it hook, line, and sinker. The only winners are publishing houses, senior scholars, and bullies. (I don't have much evidence but my intuition tells me I am right)

I am not saying we shouldn't eat more plant-based diets. If you read my comment, I specifically wrote that I wasn't sure about the affordability of plant-based in Sweden and I have the belief that companies are making a loss on meat and a profit on veggies

Daniel I. Avila-Ortega @daniel-iavor.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

I am not so sure about the 'save you money'. In Sweden, vegetables are getting expensier by the day and I cannot stop thinking that supermarkets might be profiting from them, and having a loss on meat-based items. In 2021, 1kg of beetroots was about 8 SEK. Today it is difficult to find them <20

It's the same business model, just on steroids, that China implemented with other goods flooding developing nations. Cheap, accessible and almost like crap that caused many local/non-local companies to go bankrupt. Btw. We don't need this individualistic mobility!

I am very (like a lot) concerned about China flooding the market with 'cheap' electric and non-electric cars. In Mexico, about 10 different brands have entered the market lately. When accidents occur, almost all are fatal or long-lasting injuries. Air bags never activate. Services are really poor.

2/2 I have years, and each year has 3 matrices proxi to 3.7 Gb. In the process, I load into memory one at a time and perform operations. I don't mind having large files. I am storing and running in a cluster. The analysis involves 30 years. Each year involves 10 matrix multiplication (sequential)

1/2 for those experts on #DataScience and manipulation. I have some data in zarr format, the original data comes from MatLab. With this data I need to do some linear algebra (matrix multiplication) but the zarr breaks at 3.6 Gb. What other data structures do you recommend? #PhDlife #AcademicChatter

The most persistent delusion is that Ru can be satisfied w a partial win in Ukr (territory and/or forced Ukr neutrality) and then cooperation can restart. Ru wants the West’s destruction. It’s not powerful enough to achieve it but it won’t stop trying if the West were to become more accommodating.

I wonder if the guys in the 70s/80s/90s who moved production to China regret it—they dug their own grave. They didn’t just outsource factories but handed over strategic power. China’s totalitarian system turns economic gains into a long-term vision no democracy can match.
