I still remember the same discussion when 🏧s were introduced and supposedly destroyed the human interaction during withdrawing 💶.

As driverless cars threaten to slowly replace taxi drivers, Big Tech is yet again destroying human interaction and calling it “convenience,” Xochitl Gonzalez argues.

👇 This is how many academics (especially as referees) read papers. So it’s worth keeping in mind when writing research articles. The key is to earn the reader’s attention after the abstract and intro and make them want to go deeper.

John Holbein@johnholbein1.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Even in the AI era, learning to quickly "read" an academic article is an essential skill. When I started grad school, I thought I had to read every word, in order, for every article I "read". I don’t do that anymore. Here’s how I "read" most academic articles:

I imagine myself as a future historian, trying to make sense of our time through the documents left behind by the supposed leader of the free world, voluntarily chosen by the people of the most powerful country on earth.

Faszinierend, wie sich die Namensvielfalt gesteigert hat - vor allem bei den Buben. 1984 (fast mein Geburtsjahr) hatten fast 50% der Buben einen Namen aus den Top-10. Heute machen die Top-10 nur mehr knapp 15% aus. Andreas war in den 80ern natürlich ganz vorne dabei 😄.

👶 Emilia und Elias waren 2024 die beliebtesten #Babynamen in Österreich 2024. 📈 Emilia landete erstmals 2013 in den Top 10 und war bereits 2023 der beliebteste Vorname für Mädchen. 📈 Elias stieg bereits 2010 in die Top 10 ein und verdrängte Paul vom Spitzenplatz. ➡️ https://bit.ly/3VsnIah

Over the past year, I received reimbursements from institutions in various EU countries. Similar small sums, wildly different levels of paperwork. Here’s my Euro-bureaucracy ranking (1 = most paperwork pain): 🥇 France 🥈 Germany 🥉 Austria 4️⃣ Spain 5️⃣ Luxembourg 6️⃣ Denmark

I have leftover funding for a PhD student for one year (ideally Sept '25 - Sept '26). Might be a good fit for someone wanting to delay going on the market. Please send interested students my way!
