@lukeSenzaNumeri @primonatura imagine the shock many Italians have when disposing of their plastic bottles after moving abroad

Departing 🇮🇹 northbound to concludes a 14-day voyage, mainly by train, across the following eight 🇪🇺 countries: 🇨🇭 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 (a stopover at home in ) 🇩🇪 (🚂+✈️) 🇷🇴 (🛬+🚍) (🚍+🚂) 🇺🇦 🇭🇺 🇦🇹 and again 🇮🇹.
Thank you for your company! 🙏

securescientist,

@andreaswiedenhoff presumably you’ve spent almost all of that time on the train?

To be able to review for @elsevierconnect I have to answer a mandatory set of questions on my gender identity. I have zero intention to oblige and definitely contest the ethicality of this. @spaf are the journals actually OK with this?

One of the hard things about the management aspects of supervisory roles is to know when to not say something that should otherwise be said, just not in that moment or through that channel. Not sure if there are guidelines to refer to?

What reply would you give to somebody who comments (academic) policy trajectories with “x years ago already worked like this so it will again, and this disproves your claims this policy won’t work”.

Daejeong is a completely different South Korea than Seoul is. 💯 percent love it. Too bad we’re staying only one more day. Full day visit at KAIST.

securescientist, to infosec

Hey peeps I am due to leave to South Korea for some time soon for a limited time, essentially in the capacity of a tourist. Any recommendations on cybersafe behaviour specific to the place? Known incidents/vulnerabilities/threats to be aware of? Thinking of for example insights/threat model of spycams in hotels, public Wi-Fi, and “pocket” internet Wi-Fi access points rented at airports.

This is very interesting and I am looking forward to pushing it internally at my own university once I’m done reading it.

What are the top 3 infosec books you recommend to anyone in the field?

securescientist,

@AztekXYZ @jrog404 @jerry +1 to this. Ross is a never ending well of insights on cybersecurity and links effortlessly technical, governance and policing issues.

Who should I follow here?

securescientist,

@hamsterico what I found useful was to follow hashtags and then follow people from there.

Yesterday a 1st y PhD cand. asked: “what’s expected from me at a big internat. conference?”
So:

  • don’t listen to every talk (it’s too much!)
  • think of a question for each talk
  • talk to many people
  • look for stuff outside your niche
  • enjoy and take breaks
    @academicchatter @phdstudents
securescientist,

@eml314 @academicchatter @phdstudents - find a group of peers to have a beer with

  • hang out and socialize
  • don’t only talk about work and research
securescientist,

@ttpphd I was going to write a beer or equivalent then I thought “should be obvious it’s not a literal beer one should seek to have”

securescientist,

@ttpphd not sure why you assume that what I write on a social network while not giving advice to anybody about having a beer is representative of how I do this in person when I do give that advice. Kind of ironic actually. Thanks for the quick lesson anyhow, thankfully not needed.

For a whole five minutes I tried to understand what is/what is its added value, and failed.

I am reminded of a university psychology prof once telling our class during a lecture on sociopathy that the less intelligent sociopaths often go on to become used car salespeople and the smart ones often become dentists. That actually kept me away from dentists for a long, long time. It meshed with my prior experiences at dentists. After a while, I could not longer ignore it and found one who I feel confident is not a sociopath.

@jerry TFW in the middle of dental surgery the dentist asks you if you are interested in buying a second hand car.

Cutting and pasting text after 10pm can be frustrating because dark mode turns on and sometimes means I copy text, the white font attribute is preserved.

I must say we are getting fantastic candidates for the @TUEindhoven broad hiring campaign here at computer science. Honoured to see so many top talents considering working with us.

securescientist, to bluesky

If I follow you and you’d like a invite feel free to “dm” me on here.

securescientist, to random

Excellent and happy to see my institution @TUEindhoven taking action ahead of time. All our publications will be open access after six month from June 2033 onwards. Thrilled this is becoming the EU standard, and thrilled EU is putting its weight behind this. https://fediscience.org/@petersuber/110321921111799759

TIL a “fluid ounce” is a thing and a measure of volume. That in the imperial system sentences like the one below (in the excellent book “calling bullshit” by @ct_bergstrom) make actual sense is bewildering to me. I thought only scales did not translate well, turns out naming conventions don’t either.

    @hughster Here are three I found on bsky: skyline.gay; moot for bluesky (beta app); graysky.app. These are all either iOS apps or web apps that as far as they say on bsky implement their own “algorithms” for the feeds. I have not tried them myself.
