Academic publishing is a racket. So I don't much care. Lancet played politics to run cover for China who conducted US funded gain of function on coronaviruses in Wuhan because it supported their political narrative.
This is little different. All western institutions will fail because all western institutions are run by money grubbing cowards. The west will eventually die and we will be taken over by strongmen like Jinping or Putin. This brief liberal moment we had in an otherwise authoritarian history will be extinguished.

Not clear if the author has tried procedures where the skin of the "white" person was removed surgically, or maybe altered in appearance to be less "white", would be interesting to see follow up research on the matter. Hopefully they can get access to some funding to do further research on these important questions as part of the US infrastructure plan once the republicans stop being racist and finally pass it.
Okay, fair. I'd ask for an iPhone that was not dependent upon China's labor and supply chains first, then to give me granular control of notifications.

Adamant is rather generous. Golang maintainers are overly defensive about serious deficiencies in an otherwise mediocre programming language. It is the worst tool for the job in almost any situation.
At the moment it is easier to write correct software in Python than it is to do it in Golang and in almost all cases correctness is more important than performance.
