03:12 schestowitz; Yes, I am fully aware it is "not actually that unusual."
03:12 schestowitz; I said this several times before.
03:12 schestowitz; That is why I write about it. It's a cautionary tale.

03:12 schestowitz; Yes, more importantly the clients are not who I complain about. They helped pay my salary. The payslips came from a sort of 'mitm'.

03:26 schestowitz; I spoke to an intl' lawyer based in spain who looked into msft and epo violating privacy law and covering that up?

17:03 schestowitz; Happy Holidays and Article: 2022
17:03 schestowitz; > Hi Roy,
17:03 schestowitz; Hello again :-)
17:03 schestowitz; > Glad the article resonates but sad for you that you are
17:03 schestowitz; > driven to leave, as are so many of my colleagues. These
17:03 schestowitz; > are dark times for academia.
17:03 schestowitz; Yes, but I did the right thing and don't have any regrets. I've been planning to leave for about a year already.
17:03 schestowitz; > The article belongs to the Times, but I can give you a slightly better
17:03 schestowitz; > version :) Under a different title, modified and re-written from the
17:03 schestowitz; > original drafts.
17:03 schestowitz; Yes, that's what I reckoned.
17:03 schestowitz; In 2006-08 I used to contribute paid articles to media (they even paid up to $200 per piece... a lot of money back then), but they edited out things I wanted to keep and even twisted my original headlines to make annoying clickbait.
17:03 schestowitz; And yes, when I say "edited out things I wanted to keep" I mean some factual things about habitual "advertiser"... Microsoft.
17:03 schestowitz; > The Times limit me to 900 words, but I know your readers are accepting of
17:03 schestowitz; > slightly longer form.
17:03 schestowitz; Sometimes I'd keep two versions, long and short or "professional" (censored) and honest.
17:03 schestowitz; > If I did that I could incorporate some of your reasons and observations
17:03 schestowitz; > too. Would you be able to promote it widely as you did with one of my
17:03 schestowitz; > ealier articles that got a lot of eyes-on.
17:03 schestowitz; Yes, of course. BTW, Gemini is still alive and kicking. 3000+ capsules now. It was ~1800 a year ago, IIRC.
17:03 schestowitz; > all very best,
17:03 schestowitz; Cheers.
