Yes, but it’s still not a good separation. From the article, there are a number of issues with their method:

The study has several limitations. First, the database includes countries that require a prescription for melatonin (such as the United Kingdom) and countries that don’t (such as the United States), and patient locations were not part of the de-identified data available to the researchers. Since melatonin use in the study was based only on those identified from medication entries in the electronic health record, everyone taking it as an over-the-counter supplement in the U.S. or other countries that don’t require a prescription would have been in the non-melatonin group; therefore, the analyses may not accurately reflect this. Hospitalization figures were also higher than those for initial diagnosis of heart failure because a range of related diagnostic codes may be entered for the hospitalization, and they may not always include the code for a new diagnosis of heart failure. The researchers also lacked information on the severity of insomnia and the presence of other psychiatric disorders.

An additional confounding variable is the fact that the USDA doesn’t regulate melatonin sold in the United States, so it could be pill capsules full of actual bull shit for all the customers know.

Right. It could just be that insomnia is what’s linked to heart issues. And that makes a lot more sense than melatonin.

If by “apps” you mean applications, no, not really. If by “apps” you mean pre-compiled binaries of applications downloaded from a central repository, yes.

I guess I’ve never been in an organization like that. Every Pi I’ve ever worked with knew at least the high level of what people were working on. Thanks for the insight.

The PI should definitely be on the paper. But the president of the company should not. He’s not the PI. At the lab where I work, if you didn’t participate in the research, you don’t go on the paper. I don’t throw Donald Trump on there, why should they put Elon on there? There’s a lot of people paying for research who aren’t listed as authors. I’ve literally never put a funder as an author. I’ve mentioned it at the end in an acknowledgement section, but not authorship.

If he didn’t have anything to do with the paper, he shouldn’t be on the paper

“Feed me, Seymour!”

Every one of those citations is an abuse of the system

That’s a good question; I haven’t used it. It may be tightly coupled to the desktop, but I don’t know. Try it? ¯\ˍ(ツ)ˍ/¯

I know this doesn’t answer your question, but the days of separating KDE and Gnome software are gone. You can run whatever on pretty much any desktop. So if you find a Gnome-specific application that does what you need, just run it. The megabytes of dependencies it will bring in aren’t that big of a deal nowadays, considering we have terabyte-scale hard drives now.

I miss Flash. I miss Macromedia.

And this is but one reason why I will never give even a single penny to wikipedia.

Huge fucking congratulations! So does this mean we’re going to get more memes now, or fewer?

Yep, this is the way. It’s a very pleasant experience.

or god forbid the government

Current situation notwithstanding, government work is generally pretty great. You don’t have to work for a three-letter intelligence org to do work in cyber security. I’m at a research lab that does nature shit, but cyber security is still important and we have a whole branch dedicated to just that. All I’m saying is don’t limit yourself.
