I set up LinkWarden about a month ago for the first time and have been enjoying it. Thank you!
I do have some feature requests – is GitHub the best place to submit those?
It did get a lot of funding from the NSF in the early days, but the federal government didn’t start pushing for public access to research done through grants and contracts until 2013. Before then it was only work done by federal agencies that was non copyrighted.
The National Science Foundation also didn’t start funding Mosaic until 1994, which was after CGI had been released.
NCSA gets a lot of its funding from the private sector with partner programs, the University of Illinois, and the State of Illinois as well.
Which women? What are their voting records? What experience do they have? Can they work with the other party if they need to? Are they respected by foreign leaders?
If it’s this election, are we sure putting them on the ticket will survive certain legal challenges?
Too many questions without enough answers.
Generally speaking though, no, I don’t think it would happen. I would totally support it, but I think there are too many misogynists out there. On the other hand, I never thought there would be a Black president either.
I found the whole copyright thing at Wikipedia for this image pretty funny.
Even the simplest research shows that NCSA is a state-funded agency (through the University of Illinois system), not federal. If that image is in the public domain, it’s not for the reason Wikipedia lists.
Here they’re pushing the “must be within 60 miles from the office” trope; I bet they’d say to drive in if it’s after hours.
Growing up we had two large mulberry trees in the yard, and every summer I was sent out daily to pick a bucket full of mulberries. My Mom made mulberry syrup, mulberry jam, mulberry clafouti, put them in fruit salad, and, of course, made mulberry cobbler.
This brings back memories. Thank you for sharing!
My worst feeling is “I tried that two years ago but couldn’t get enough people interested, so I dropped it…”
I was a manager, and another guy was a more senior manager in another division. We both did IT. For some reason he didn’t like me and/or was trying to get our services moved to him, so he went to our director every week for over a year to tell him made-up stories about me.
He eventually left after a lot of people realized he was a highly manipulative, but I still hear things that he told people as part of an explanation about why I was passed up “for this” or why I wasn’t right “for that.” It cost me a lot of raises, especially in cases where things were gossiped to other people and the source was lost. Now I’m only a manager in title, but my management responsibilities were taken away.
Unfortunately, I’m caught in a ticking trap – another 1.5 years and I retire with a full pension for the rest of my life. Losing that by leaving isn’t worth it (assuming I live long enough afterwards).
