Publish and Perish - The Intrinsic Perspective
In many fields this behavior isn’t much of a problem, but in virology playing the Science Game™ turns out to have negative externalities like potential mass death at a global scale. Other fields like artificial intelligence, high-energy particle collision experiments, attempts at alien communication, and more, may one day pose similar risks due to the run-away prestige games scientists play.

A new future for icanhazip | Major Hayden's Blog
If you’re curious, Cloudflare did pay me for the site. We made a deal for them to pay me $8.03; the cost of the domain registration. The goal was never to make money from the site (although I did get about $75 in total donations from 2009 to 2021). The goal was to provide a service to the internet. Cloudflare has helped me do that and they will continue to do it as the new owners and operators of icanhazip.com.

Rapid, at-home blood test could confirm COVID-19 vaccination in minutes.
- " First, does this reflect immunity in general, or only vaccine-produced spike protein antibodies? Second, how many businesses want to handle people’s blood. Third, how many people will submit to a blood test followed by a wait before entering a business? Fourth, do the relatively low risks posed by Covid justify this sort of thing?" -- Glen Reynolds
