No, the author(s) of the journal article still retain their copyright in most cases. This is about access to the articles without having to pay a charge to read it.


Now they are removing the 12-month post-publication embargo period for peer-reviewed manuscripts that result from federally funded scientific research. So, 12 months sooner.


But autofill doesn't work on non-Safari browsers on your Mac. Yet I truly love Keychain so much in my Apple ecosystem I go to the trouble of exporting my passwords every few weeks to Chrome.


I'd like to see websites make it easier on people who need to copy/paste their login information because they are using some kind of password management system that doesn't support autofill.

One simple change would be to for the site to pick some character that is not legal in user names for that site and make it so that if the login form is submitted with a blank user name but the string in the password field is of the form <string1><X><string2> where <X> is that not-allowed-in-user-name character, then the site tries to do the login with <string1> as the user name and <string2> as the password.

People using copy/paste could then store their user name and password together in that format in the password manager, and only have to to one copy/paste to login.


That's on Chrome's and (Firefox's) developers though. The keychain services API is fairly straightforward to implement.


Brain games do little for the older mind. You are much better off lowering blood pressure and walking. But, if you insist, read [1]. [1]: https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/cognitive-health-and-older-ad...


Not sure why but this just seems so useless and defeatist. Why is learning new things “brain games”?


That link did mention the "Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly (ACTIVE)" study. Apparently it found that training can affect quality of life and reduced car accidents in driving seniors.


There are many, many, many pharmacy drugs that can stop suicidal thoughts fast and don't have the track record of the "modern antidepressants". Long, long, long track records. Small dose lithium and lamotrigine come to mind right away. But how they work--nope, not clear. Okay, we'll agree it's not serotonin, how does that help us? Would it help if American doctors could prescribe 3 weeks for a spa holiday like European doctors? Maybe, for low-level depression, but not for suicidal thoughts, that just won't cut it. There is bipolar I and bipolar II and so big differences. Schizophrenia, big difference. But again, knowing that it isn't serotonin, that's nice, now what?


Nonsense. As a non-profit founded in 1926 with 50 testing labs and partnerships with outside labs, the proof is in the test after test after test after test that is unbiased and, more importantly, the criteria and testing methods are always available and reproducible! So when you don't agree with their rankings you can at least agree that there methods are clear, not based on SEO, not based on spam, not based on money, and pro-consumer.


The literature is actually quite robust on the benefits of probiotics. Take a look at the different peer-reviewed studies just on this list of products sold in the U.S. [1]. The quality of these studies is quite high, and highly scrutinized.

But, yes, there are a number of apps that work with the Apple Music subscription that aren't Apple apps. For example, Cider[1].

So, now we can't use Teams to have the "water-cooler" moments that supervisors claim we need, but really we are having them on Signal or IOS and they just can't measure that. Organizations really, really, really hate transparency.


They don't want you shooting the shit with company communications mediums because that has limited upside and much less limited potential downside.

Remember the famous "will the atom bomb test ignite the atmosphere" gentleman's bet those scientists had? Nobody actually thought it would but they discussed it semi-seriously. Today discussing some fanciful bad outcome like that (be it the mundane failure to deliver a product or something more interesting) is a liability when it's sitting in your company email servers. Even if that bad thing isn't what winds up happening or the people speculating aren't in a position to have accurate info the other side's lawyer or the regulator will try and construe it as proof that the company should have known ahead of time.

Or, more likely, say there's some sexual harassment or adultery kerfuffle between employees. It's way better for the company if none of that happened on company provided communications tools.

From the company's perspective it's avoidable risk to have work communication tools be used for informal BSing between employees. But they can't realistically prevent that so they introduce Skynet in order to make people watch their mouths and move those sensitive conversations elsewhere.


Having employees is a big potential liability. Having a corporation is a big potential liability. Drinking water is a big potential liability. I guess just don't do anything at all and then recalculate your risk metric.


The conversations will happen elsewhere and so will the relationships. Management is locking themselves out from the team leaders and suddenly those off site 'adult kerfuffles' are exactly the conversation you needed to hear to prevent exodus.


> The conversations will happen elsewhere

That's entirely intentional. You really don't want internal evidence of something that's going to be construed 10 years down the line as cancel-worthy, or worse, something that politicians/regulators are going to take out of context to attack you with.


Nah. People like to talk and not get fires for saying the wrong keyword.


This made me laugh. Back in the late 1970s, there was suspicion that the Soviet Union a had completely tapped the AT&T phone network on the East coast. I cannot remember the author of the article, but they stated that every American having any telephone call with anyone on the East coast should toss in a number of different key words to overwhelm the ability of the USSR to gather any useful intelligence, because they would be overwhelmed by data. Then they gave a list of keywords. I wish I had saved it. So my brother and I, when we called each other, would toss in the occasional 'enriched uranium' 'satellite imagery' 'battalion' 'missile test' 'weapons research' and other nonsense into our conversation.

I don't know what I found funnier, the idea that some poor fool at a Soviet embassy had to listen to our conversation because a key word hit caused the recording to be saved, or the idea that the author even proposed that the idea would work.


The contracts with Microsoft need to be explained in more detail. Is there anyway we can edit the code to remove these exceptions?
