[03:12] schestowitz Yes, I am fully aware it is "not actually that unusual." [03:12] schestowitz I said this several times before. [03:12] schestowitz That is why I write about it.

These [17:03] schestowitz > are dark times for academia. [17:03] schestowitz Yes, but I did the right thing and don't have any regrets. I've been planning to leave for about a year already. [17:03] schestowitz > The article belongs to the Times, but I can give you a slightly better [17:03] schestowitz > version :) Under a different title, modified and re-written from the [17:03] schestowitz > original drafts. [17:03] schestowitz Yes, that's what I reckoned. [17:03] schestowitz In 2006-08 I used to contribute paid articles to media (they even paid up to $200 per piece... a lot of money back then), but they edited out things I wanted to keep and even twisted my original headlines to make annoying clickbait. [17:03] schestowitz And yes, when I say "edited out things I wanted to keep" I mean some factual things about habitual "advertiser"... Microsoft. [17:03] schestowitz > The Times limit me to 900 words, but I know your readers are accepting of [17:03] schestowitz > slightly longer form. [17:03] schestowitz Sometimes I'd keep two versions, long and short or "professional" (censored) and honest. [17:03] schestowitz > If I did that I could incorporate some of your reasons and observations [17:03] schestowitz > too. Would you be able to promote it widely as you did with one of my [17:03] schestowitz > ealier articles that got a lot of eyes-on. [17:03] schestowitz Yes, of course. BTW, Gemini is still alive and kicking. 3000+ capsules now. It was ~1800 a year ago, IIRC. [17:03] schestowitz > all very best, [17:03] schestowitz Cheers.
