“CSIRO has announced it will slash up to 350 jobs as the national science agency grapples with long-term financial challenges … with current funding failing to keep pace with the rising costs of running a modern science agency.”

Not “challenges”. They’re choices. 😡
CSIRO to cut up to 350 research jobs in major overhaul
After 440 positions were slashed last year, the CSIRO has announced more staff cuts across the country in a bid to remain financially viable.

Hey #rstats #rspatial people working with rivers, how do you approach labelling rivers nicely on maps where the underlying data are broken up into many small stream segments, each with the same string in the name column of the sf object?
