Same for ACM. I think it's good as it's easier to read. But sometimes I still write names (e.g. as Mueller et al. points out, the color blue is actually red [666]), to highlight something. But that's maybe for 5 out of 100 sources.

On top of it. The students get in debts to study. So it's a double exploitation of them.

Frontiers has many different journals. The quality of the journal highly depends on the editor of the journal. But there has been reports that Frontiers has been involved in predatory actions. They used rejected papers and re-submitted them to other journals (as they have a lot of journals and some paper topics can fit in several journals). This is seen as predatory behavior. Overall I would argue that Frontiers is borderline, it would not be my first choice. Keep in mind, as an Open access journal they get paid my the author's. Each article costs around 2.000$, so they need to publish papers in order to survive as a business.

There is no culture of unions in IT. But there should!

The contribution to the community is weak. I recommend the authors to work on their study design and to basically redo everything in good.

I think most of these seeds are modified in a way that they don't reproduce. This is what creates the dependency of farmers, they have a well growing plant with good harvest, but need to buy the seeds year for year.

The problem discussed in the article is that people that develop new plants are working under a high uncertainty, as big cooperations have patented a variety of plants and could make claims that some of their "inventions" have been used to develop new one or that new development look the same than their patented "development".

I think patents were a good idea then we used to have many small companies. But in today's economy it is overly used and slowing down innovation instead of making innovation attractive for inventors.

I save you the clock bait. It's a ring to monitor sleep patterns. But it's a prototype for now (a well working one).

On a side note, I think the pricing is insane.

In fairness, all words seem pretty important in this sentence.

There were passengers on the flight. I would feel highly uncomfortable after this incident to be on another plane of Delta.

The company is still worth over 100 billions. They do something right.

Otherwise I agree with you. It's almost hilarious to see fail after fail (as long as you are not in the plane).

Well, it fits the company. They are well known for heavily underpaying their workers (dirty cheap subcontracts), resulting in an less then good service of delivery.
