This doesn't make sense. Being scooped means other people published the same idea before you.
If he truly believes the released data were fake, he can for sure publish his results. It’s not unusual for scientists to have different views on certain subjects. Some journals even have specific discussion sections for contradictory results. Finding the truth and correcting scientific records is also an achievement.
And quit a lot of publications are not grand breaking ideas. Incremental improvements can also be published.
I don’t understand your friend’s rationale to abandon the whole project he already started and didn’t want to find the truth and prove his theory (maybe it’s a different field thing).
> If he truly believes the released data were fake, he can for sure publish his results.
You need the funding to get to that point though, and since it wasn't "new" they weren't able to get funded to research it. That's the meaning I got from the comment.

He has lots of ideas he wants to try, and he ranks them. The incentives for following this particular idea were reduced by the actions of the other lab, so it dropped in the rankings and he pursued one of the more highly ranked ones.
It is overly simplification. I think the sentiment in China is really not about supporting Russia; it is about anti-US.
Because quite a lot of people in China think US is organizing an Eastern NATO, to "destabilize" the whole region. For example, the nuclear-powered marine deal with Australia, etc. Biden’s first year was much harsher on China than Russia.
In 1999, NATO bombed the Chinese embassy, killing 3, that certainly did not help.
Eastern NATO? Sounds like something many smaller countries in the region would love to join, to secure each other against a large expansionistic neighboring country.
> I think the sentiment in China is really not about supporting Russia; it is about anti-US.
Anti-US is a part of it, but from what I know, Chinese people do generally like Russia a lot more than most of the world. I think it’s kind of a culture and history thing, education is likely a big part. Chinese tend to favour Russia by default for many things, even if the US isn’t involved. The US involvement (perceived or not) definitely still contributes a lot to the general sentiment in this particular case, of course.

We had one of those, it was called SEATO. There's been only negative progress since on that front.

AUKUS involved countries already in NATO-like agreements with the US (UK is in NATO, Australia in ANZUS) so it doesn't really change much in terms of security alignment.

It does, because it pissed off France ( which also has territory in the Pacific) for no good reason, and also stated that the choice of nuclear subs is due to the Chinese threat. And also it pushed the delivery date of new Australian submarines by at least a decade, probably more.
There were a lot of good reasons to be against the TPP; particularly in regards to IP. The EFF who has been a consistent and well guided voice on this issue was firmly against it[1].
Thanks for developing this wonderful tool. Just tried it. The HTML output looks great.
I use R Markdown extensively. I am wondering if R Markdown is retiring? Should I begin to switch to Quarto? And is there a way to change the default code font to ligatures fonts (for example Fira Code)?
Quarto is the next generation of R Markdown, so over time it will surpass R Markdown in features/capability (I think in most areas it already has). Note that Quarto will read and render existing Rmd files without modification, so when you decide to switch isn't a terribly big deal. You can use the monofont option to specify an alternate code font.
Agree on Paperpile as some others have commented. Dead simple to use. For annotating PDFs nothing beats handwriting, so for that I use iPad 12.9” plus GoodNotes app.
