JupyterLab also doesn't have copy paste in right click menu. I figured it's probably a security feature (preventing malicious JavaScript from harvesting clipboard content).
Ultimately, how does Chrome itself make any money? As far as I know it doesn't, so the value to Google is ultimately control. The positives include not having to tolerate the whims of Microsoft or Apple or Mozilla or Amazon or beg any of these to implement features or endure microsabotage. The negatives are the temptation to subject everyone else to Google's whims and sabotage competitors.
Honestly I started using obtainium because I can't figure out why F-Ddoid builds are a month behind. RedReader became completely broken and needed the newer version. Not sure what's up with that lag. It's extremely frustrating.
Anyhow, when the apps stop being updated, it's usually due to something that was added that doesn't make them compliant with F-Droid's policies anymore; or, they changed something in the release process without telling F-Droid.
Other times, the apps were set to be updated only at the developer's request, and for some reason they still haven't done that request (some developers deliberately update F-Droid less frequently, to be more confident of not giving bugged releases to the F-Droid usere).
The normal delay, due to their manual (and lazy) signing process, is from few days to about ten
Unfortunately F-Droid sometimes distributes outdated software with security vulnerabilities. This happened with Fennec (Firefox variant), not sure what the reason was. I switched back to Firefox + Google Play after that.
Yes F-Droid is too slow unfortunately. The reason I added obtanium to my mix was because F-Droid version of RedReader was so old it didn't work with Reddit anymore. And I couldn't figure out why or if there was an ETA or what and someone mentioned obtanium.
Nate Silver and his team are not at 538 any more, they were kicked out by ABC. He's at Silver Bulletin. You're correct he's saying it's a tossup but he seems to be favoring Trump the last few days. And he's also recently writing about fishiness he's seeing when comparing state vs national measures.

"But I don’t think you should put any value whatsoever on anyone’s gut — including mine. Instead, you should resign yourself to the fact that a 50-50 forecast really does mean 50-50. And you should be open to the possibility that those forecasts are wrong, and that could be the case equally in the direction of Mr. Trump or Ms. Harris." - Nate Silver, NYT, last week
Sure, but now they say that queue should go to the website owner instead, who has less global visibility on the traffic. So that's just ignoring something they don't want to deal with.
> nothing makes it out of a lab and into a fab, without certainty of the method working at least in lab conditions reproducible.
The article describes multiple full clinical drug trials both completed (inconclusive==can't prove harm, effect is so small that benefit cannot be excluded) and ongoing that are fundamentally built on the fabricated results which literally do represent many billions of private investment.
Ultimately research falsification is a con game, and you seem to have faith in something magical about "money leveraging" that smokes out cons. I do think shit eventually hits the fan in the market since reality affects the market, but it's not because the market is more rigorous than "science". Ultimately, investors are not experts and the are listening to the same people who do "peer review" and didn't notice (or ignored) the fraud in the first place.
Maybe we need instruments that sign results cryptographically and use a blockchain mechanism to establish provenance. We should have cameras that can establish that published images have not been modified (or at least provide raw and adjusted pairs--digital radiology has the concept of a "presentation state" that I think could work).
In theory at least research should be auditable to a lab notebook. The problem with photos and such is you can't tell if it was modified before it was pasted to the page and large datasets just can't be put in to paper. And electronic notebooks I've used tend to be even more annoying than paper (too rigidly formatted and not adaptive to workflow optimization but it's difficult to explain).
Anyway those sorts of things that establish provenance should also protect against deep learning. You may be able to create fake data, but can you deep fake data that was signed by Nikon device #XYZ with cryptographicly confirmed hashes published to a blockchain 3 years ago at the time the data was generated?
