- Comment on Meta admits using pirated books to train AI, but won't pay for it 9 months ago:
I went to grad school in the USA. I bought the international version of a few books that were going to be used in class (knew beforehand that the recommended lectures weren’t written by any faculty member at such a university), but that didn’t stop the professor from going aggressive and saying that my books were banned from the classroom because they aren’t the USA version. When I told the professor what the difference was between me buying a text book for $15 instead of $200 and a Fortune 500 outsourcing entire departments instead of hiring USA employees?
Interestingly, my books weren’t an issue. Yes, I gambled being publicly labeled as a troublemaker in my engineering department (probably I was labeled privately within faculty members).

I’ll be honest, even freshmen at university level behave like kids in a lab.
- Comment on So proud. 1 year ago:
If I try to guess, it was just a ridiculous excuse instead of saying, we aren’t adequately equipped to manage a laboratory and will not want to be liable if an accident happened.
- Comment on So proud. 1 year ago:
At my high school, teachers always said that there’s a biological hazard in the lab (they used the same lab for chemistry, physics, and biology), hence no laboratory class/experience. But that exact lab/room was available and used for teaching classes such as math, history, etc.

I’m more interested in how they will troubleshoot and perform preventative maintenance to the battery, since halides are quite toxic.
