A San Francisco library is turning off Wi-Fi at night to keep people without housing from using it

Reply in thread

I live in a rural area without broadband access. Any quality broadband access. During the pandemic, kids sat in their parents' cars (typically after they got home from work) to do their remote-learning homework in front of the public library to get free access to decent connection speeds AND access the library files electronically (for California check here https://www.library.ca.gov/services/to-libraries/ebooks-for-all/ - every state has an equivalent ). People, including kids, check out books (and periodicals) electronically 24/7.

Harvard dishonesty expert accused of dishonesty

Max Bazerman is a towering giant in the field: for him to be a co-author of a suspicious publication is beyond scandalous.

Nothing less than the APA itself must intervene to definitively discover what happened and identify all involved (a host of PhD graduate students know and/or were participants). Censure must be from the highest levels if these allegations prove true.

Then we can have an infinitely robust discussion about the ridiculousness of publish or perish in academia...

How do you make peace with a mistake you made?

Stop being so hard on yourself.

Unless you're a sociopath, nobody gets up in the morning intending to screw up. But we all do. Because we're human. We're not perfect. We fuck up.

So stop being so hard on yourself. On any given Thursday, you're doing the very best you can. Shit happens. Move on. Forgive others when they hurt you just like they forgive you. Forgive yourself. Because nobody's perfect. You're doing the best you can.

Stop being so hard on yourself.
