| schestowitz | <blockquote> | Jul 24 09:27 |
| schestowitz | <p>Prior to 1960, there was hardly any formal research funding competitions. Today, by some estimates, it takes about 40 working days to prepare a single new grant application with about 30 working days for a resubmission, and the success rates is often low which means that for a single successful research grant, hundreds of days might have been spent, purely on the acquisition of funding. This effect is known | Jul 24 09:27 |
| schestowitz | in economics as rent dissipation. Suppose that I offer to give you $100 to support your research if you enter a competition. How much time are you willing to spend? Maybe you are willing to spend the equivalent of $50, if the success rate is 50%. The net result is that two researchers may each waste $50 in time so that one of them acquire $100 of support. There may be no net gain! Furthermore, if grant applications are valued enough (e.g., needed to | Jul 24 09:27 |
| schestowitz | get promotion), scientists may be willing to spend even more time than is rational to do so, and the introduction of a new grant competition may in fact reduce the overall research output. You should not underestimate the effect that constant administrative and grant writing might have on a researcher: many graduate students will tell you of their disappointment when encountering high status scientists who cannot seem to do actual research anymore. | Jul 24 09:27 |
| schestowitz | It can cause a vicious form of accelerated aging. If Albert Einstein had been stuck writing grant applications and reporting on the results from his team, history might have taken a different turn.</p> | Jul 24 09:27 |

| schestowitz | <p>The odd and almost unreadable proportions of the TeamViewer font make it well-suited for fingerprinting. I believe this is also its true purpose.

| schestowitz | <p>Now that your mind is free of these misbeliefs, if you finally wish to try out Linux, Ubuntu and Manjaro Linux are the two distros to start with. But which one is good for beginner Linux users, and which one should you choose for your desktop?</p> | Jul 24 10:04 |

| schestowitz | > 1. I had some terrible symptoms from atrial fibrillation. | Jul 24 20:19 |
| schestowitz | I was starting to worry it was coronavirus, which particularly impacts the old. | Jul 24 20:19 |
| schestowitz | > 2. I was taken to the hospital | Jul 24 20:19 |
| schestowitz | And had me very worried for a week, esp. as I did not hear any updates even when I asked. | Jul 24 20:19 |
| schestowitz | > 3. They did a procedure called cardioversion. It was O.K. For 2 days | Jul 24 20:19 |

| schestowitz | Ah, yes, those are very common. Maybe even a life saver for the future. | Jul 24 20:19 |
| schestowitz | > 5. Since yesterday blood pressure has been a bit low but doc said not to worry. | Jul 24 20:19 |
| schestowitz | I checked mine recently (Rianne bought a whole kit) and we're both in the optical range. | Jul 24 20:19 |
| schestowitz | > 6. Tomorrow I am going to a Rehab hospital. The plan is to be there for 3 to 7 days with physical and occupational therapy twice a day. | Jul 24 20:19 |
| schestowitz | Excellent. What a relief! | Jul 24 20:19 |
