According to Google, Microsoft loses 3 billion a year on "cloud" and Microsoft basically lies to investors by classifying more things as "cloud". Months ago it changed how it reports "cloud" to hide the losses.

• Cheating in academic is rampant. Many people fake results, performance, capabilities. How to tackle this? It's not easy because peer review is expected to presume truth-telling rather than assume cheating, by default. The data is not open, stuff isn't reproducible for peer reviewers, and since they aren't paid they lack time for it anyway. So it's a 'cheatfest' like Olympics.    

posted Sunday, October 06, 2024 at 20:56:25

• Plus, there are no real penalties for cheating there, only soft sanctions. This means that, in the rare occasion of actually being caught cheating, the reprucussions are minimal. That's why many deans get caught in major scandals... then merely expected to "resign"... for universities to save face rather than fully investigate

Maybe because "the industry" that funds all this is full of cheaters and perverts... but the corporate misconduct is a lesser "crime".
