Prohibited activities include advising Chinese graduate students. For reference, a recent Georgetown report estimated 16% of STEM graduate students in the US are Chinese nationals.
This would take out entire fields at the knees, which is perhaps the point.

“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.
Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.
Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Beyond the ethical and quality concerns, why would you want to cut voice actors out of your process? They’re the hot people with media training and a camera presence. You need a Laura Bailey or Neil Newbon out there to do panels or it’s just a bunch of sweaty devs in t shirts and blazers

One of the constant refrains I repeated when I was a lead was yes, my team can pivot, yes, we are happy to rework an idea. But it’s going to take time. Changing any element in a story has knock-on effects.
It has occurred to me that a lot of things genAI is supposed to magically fix is really all down to bad planning and budgeting
And seeing how often bad project management comes down to directors thinking they should just be able to pivot by snapping their fingers, I don't think I'm entirely wrong >

I REALLY need a strategy for Corsair's floor-related spooking.
In SOME situations, it's possible for me to give him space/time to explore the floor with his nose and feet at his pace, and that pretty much always works. But I don't always HAVE that liberty and then I have a Problem.

Even if Trans Rights was a "Losing Issue" (it's not), I think Human Rights are actually something worth standing up for and if you start deciding whose dignity isn't popular enough to defend, you're playing the Fascist Game and are a piece of shit.

I'd expand this to all authors. In a broader field that is often so isolated and without direct conversation between writer and reader, it is an extraordinary gift to reach out and tell someone how their work impacted you.
On behalf of all self-published authors, I authorize you to reach out & tell us if you really enjoyed something we wrote.
