Hello Mastodon. I post random photos from the NW Highlands of Scotland. Mostly from Torridon.

"Very clearly Brexit was an economic own goal," says IFS Director Paul Johnson.

"Economically speaking, that has been very bad news indeed and continues to be bad news."

Scoop: Elon Musk just sent an email to all staff outlining "Twitter 2.0", writing it will"need to be extremely hardcore". Long hours, high intensity.

People need to click "yes" to confirm being part of this by 5pm ET tomorrow, else they get 3 months severance. More details:

It is annoys me to hear people like @PJTheEconomist from the @TheIFS saying there are big financial constraints on government right now when the only constraints are people not being allowed to work to their full potential and the planet itself. He gets economics so wrong.

It’s 17c. It’s Scotland in November. This is utterly terrifying.

Awful and depressing news today that in 2022 global carbon emissions are up again.

Need for bold climate and energy policy has never been clearer #COP27.

Just a reminder to all the new arrivals here:

These instances are NOT commercial entities like #Twitter ... someone is paying the bills for servers and networking, and the massive influx of people like us are raising those costs enormously.

Be a good citizen, checkout the "About this server" link, and if you can, make a donation towards costs.

Until now I hadn’t appreciated that were very serious structural problems at Twitter. I thought Elon would make it messy, but it would robustly continue. This below, however, is starting to make me much more concerned.

I came across to Mastodon out of curiosity, fun, sense of opportunity & respect for the concept. Now I’m thinking it’s a vital hedge for us all against serious Twitter risks, including collapse.

A truism of life: if it's not work, you're not learning.

I think it's very cool that so many people have chosen to learn to do something together.

And then, even though the service is 'free' (through the generosity of volunteers and donors), because we have all been on this journey together, we will all have something each of us can value.

Nature Communications: "we are now moving to publish the exchanges between authors and reviewers for all research articles submitted from November 2022 onward and accepted for publication" Finally, bold and right move https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-33056-8
Transparent peer review for all - Nature Communications

Starting in 2016, we have offered authors the option to publish the comments received from the reviewers and their responses alongside the paper. As we believe that transparency strengthens the quality of peer review, we are now moving to publish the exchanges between authors and reviewers for all research articles submitted from November 2022 onward and accepted for publication. Referees will still have the option to remain completely anonymous, to sign their reports, and/or to choose to be acknowledged by name as part of our reviewer recognition scheme.
