@ConstipatedWatson who knows how many cases like this there are?

Short:
In the game you have the option to supplement pops with robots and eventually turn your pops into machines. It's also a 40k mechanicus joke.

Long:
Machines will supplement workforce. So we don't need more pops when the pops are getting more efficient. Having too many spares will just add more food demand which will drain resources better allocated elsewhere. Have to balance growth with jobs and resources if you want to win.
Min max FTW!

“Shouldn’t politicians be taking scientists more seriously?”

FTFY

When has complaining about politicians ever been enough? You need to get them voted out and to do that you need to convince the voters.

I couldn't find 1 mention to a community, or a project. So much text in the web or the PDFs for what? I'd have loved to see anything, like a device to measure contamination in water. Anyway, I guess that's how it is with blind science powered by savior complex. Sorry to be flaming this post, it angries me. Can anyone mention one such example of enriching or addressed needs for a community?

Great article.

Science publishing is central to the whole scientific endeavour, and should be governed in ways that avoid the pathologies described above. The current system poses risks to the credibility and integrity of the scientific endeavour, a crucially important issue when the proper functioning of science is so central to the whole range of human concerns. It is for these reasons that it is imperative to set acceptable standards for publishing, to identify and highlight anti-competitive activities by publishers, and to facilitate coordinated responses by institutions globally when they negotiate contracts with publishers

Scientists find it more difficult to influence public policy in least-developed countries in Asia

NounsAndWords ,

Low and middle-income countries in Asia face significant disparities in scientific capacity and ability to influence public policy, which is likely to affect responses to future pandemics, climate change and technological advancements such as Artificial Intelligence, according to the International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA).

I originally read the title as "it is more difficult to influence public policy in least-developed countries based on this study" but it appears it's actually "it is more difficult for scientists to advocate for science-backed policies in least-developed countries."
