No they're not. They're actually the best window form factor. Why would you not want them.
You can't clean them without leaning dangerously outside for one.

unfortunately people won't see how bad this is. most of the A.I researchers are already Chinese. now imagine other talented researchers on their way to earn Nobels - they're already in China & other countries but not visible yet. this corrupt US administration fxxked the US in ways that will be felt for decades.
It's good for dangerous people to be denied resources. Scientists leaving Germany turned the tide. edit: I was not suggesting China was the good side; Europe is least dangerous today.
I apologise if this is overly negative. It is based on my experience working as a soft money researcher (my own grants) at a Dutch university. My opinions may not be shared. In my experience The Netherlands is a rather unsupportive place to do research. There is essentially no money from the government that will pay salaries in full, especially early career salaries (vini, vidi, vici). I have had friends win ERC gran…
I see a lot of complaining from small companies and startups. The taxing system is slowly becoming communism (I have no better word). And they also are stopping farming, based on bad ideas. I tried to get into fundamental research, but disliked the burocratic approach in Dutch universities.

In the US we sometimes use the term “bribe” in morally neutral or even positive situations. It just means giving someone money or a different incentive to convince them to do something they weren’t going to do or were undecided but considering doing and the extra incentive is the catalyst for making the decision. We also have the legal concept of a bribe but the OP probably wasn’t using it in the legal sense - I.e. a…
> In the US we sometimes use the term “bribe” in morally neutral or even positive situations. I live here in the US. I've NEVER heard the term bribe in a neutral or even positive way. It might be used in a mocking way, as if to mock the idea of bribes, but never seriously. So, unless you are confusing that mocking nature as morally neutral or even positive, this is incorrect.

> Not going to even mention the obscene difference in racism OR the language barrier, both of which are enormous factors. Language wise, absolutely. Racism-wise, I think you underestimate how wildly racist the US is. As a European, I am still quite shocked. Everything in that country is viewed through the lens of skin color.
Ask a European about Roma people. They are far more racist than the Americans.

You've never heard a parent or teacher say they bribed their kids for good behavior?
Edit: And to be clear, I wouldn't describe either of those are "morally neutral or even positive situations."
But please, by all means tell me how "Foo Company bribed professional Bar" is used positively and frequently enough that the gp makes sense.
I could only find 4 names: 1 full prof at Vanderbilt with a real research program who has been listed as PI on a bunch of grants. "Top researcher" may be generous, but based on nothing I'd say reasonable description. The other 3: 1 is a VU Amsterdam PhD who was on a Netherlands Government funded 24-month postdoc in Harvard who's been at VU Amsterdam since 2017. 1 is an adjunct (on leave) prof from Israel who has work…

Science is heavily international, and if people feel like they won't get funding/wont be safe here, they won't come.
