The Web site is maintained through Idaho State University " [13:41] schestowitz[TR2] " Microsoft officials say the speakers' bureau, as it is called, is a well-intentioned effort to help faculty members cover their conference costs. Ethics watchdogs call it an unabashed attempt to turn professors into advertisers. [13:41] schestowitz[TR2] Microsoft is "trying to make them advertising agents of their wares," says Albert Borgman, a philosophy professor at the University of Montana at Missoula who has written about technology and its effect on society. "This is going beyond the pale." [13:41] schestowitz[TR2] That interpretation ruffles Susanne Peterson, who directs the Academic Cooperative. "These people are already talking about Microsoft products," she says. "Sometimes they are not even talking about our tools -- they are just using our tools." [13:41] schestowitz[TR2] "This is very innocent," she says. "Two hundred dollars is puny." [13:41] schestowitz[TR2] But it's not so puny to professors who "don't get stock options," as one program participant put it. [13:41] schestowitz[TR2] "We're so strapped, we don't look a gift horse in the mouth," says Jesse Heines, a computer-science professor at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. Mr. Heines, who recently gave a presentation that mentioned Microsoft products, has applied for the $200 payment. He is one of fewer than a dozen professors who have joined the speakers' bureau. Most professors don't know about it. [13:41] schestowitz[TR2] A few professors who have sought the company's money agreed to be interviewed. Some have already given their presentations; others have not. All of them said they thanked Microsoft for its support during their presentations -- or that they will do so -- without specifically mentioning the $200. [13:41] schestowitz[TR2] That omission raises questions, says Bill Moninger, a government scientist who has taught courses on technology and ethics at the University of Colorado at Boulder. "Those who, while making their speeches, didn't say, 'I just got $200 for saying that,' are unethical," he declares. Audience members, he says, have the right to know when an apparently independent speaker is being paid to mention a particular company. [13:41] schestowitz[TR2] But George Whitson, a computer-science professor at the University of Texas at Tyler who has applied for $200 from Microsoft for a presentation next month, defends the speakers' bureau as "more open and honest" than other perks that companies provide to professors use their technology. [13:41] schestowitz[TR2] "Does anyone seriously think," he asks, "that a researcher would compromise his integrity for $200?""

[22:38] IsambardPrince I call him the Parking Nazi now. [22:38] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: Prices on apartments are falling. [22:38] IsambardPrince There are more vacancies. [22:39] IsambardPrince Anyone who looks can see this. [22:39] IsambardPrince This was a bad time (last year) to invest a lot of money into a rotting property. [22:39] IsambardPrince Peak insanity, the highest interest rates in 40 years. [22:40] IsambardPrince We are now entering a phase where it would be impossible to sell except for maybe actual value, which would mean losing at least $1.3 million of what the dude paid plus the interest payments plus the repairs. [22:41] MinceR no parking for you! one year. [22:41] IsambardPrince Rents are depressed because they got so high going into a bad jobs market that people who could possibly move in with someone else even if it meant couch surfing with their mother or something did that. [22:41] IsambardPrince And are now paying him nothing. [22:41] IsambardPrince Meanwhile, many people who couldn't do that are fleeing into states where you can still live because they had an excess capacity. [22:42] IsambardPrince Yes, I do believe we'll go into a horrific recession. Inflation may go down, but due to the fact that we have insane people and criminals setting monetary and fiscal policy, they won't let it turn negative, which is where it would naturally be. [22:43] IsambardPrince Because they believe that causing inflation no matter the cost will stimulate economic activity, like it didn't in Japan for nearly three and a half decades. [22:43] IsambardPrince Within 5 years, the US will be over 200% debt-to-gdp. [22:43] IsambardPrince This will happen because debt will go up and gdp will continue to evaporate and spend some quarters negative. [22:44] IsambardPrince And because baby boomers will keep retiring while the US tries to be in proxy wars with the major powers. [22:44] IsambardPrince It focuses on Russia because it can't make life in the United States good but it can make life in Russia worse. [22:45] IsambardPrince Meanwhile, Joe Biden's entire campaign is "It votes for us again, or it gets the fascist!" [22:46] IsambardPrince > Does being a convicted felon limit Trump's ability to get a security clearance? [22:46] IsambardPrince > Most presidential nominees start getting briefed on top security matters at some point (after they win but before sworn in?). I doubt anyone really wanted to give that to Trump this time after seeing his treatment of classified documents and knowing he'd likely use the information for political gain rather than the national good. Does this now mean he must be kept out of the loop until he is sworn in if he wins? [22:46] IsambardPrince --- [22:46] IsambardPrince Well, as long as Joe Biden is in office, he could just refuse to follow the Presidential Transition Act. [22:47] IsambardPrince Trump refused to do so until late December in 2020. [22:47] IsambardPrince But on January 20th at Noon, Trump would get the nuclear football and all the classified documents anyway. [22:47] IsambardPrince So the answer is, no. He could obstruct Trump from getting them for a couple months by ignoring the law. [22:47] IsambardPrince But he couldn't stop him. [22:48] IsambardPrince The law says you can't easily get a security clearance with a felony conviction, but Trump wouldn't need one. [22:48] IsambardPrince The President automatically has one. There's no process. He just gets a clearance. [22:49] IsambardPrince No laws were ever written with the assumption that a convicted felon may enter office and get classified documents.
