The new texas law allows any citizen to sue entities that assist with abortions. This is a new legal strategy that deputizes all citizens to enforce this law through civil courts. Instead of the state enforcing the law as traditional laws do, citizens can. So what does this mean? In today's society we rely on our judicial system to uphold and execute the laws. We rely on police to arrest individuals, detectives to gather evidence, and prosecutors to present and prosecute those who have broken the law. This new texas law gets rid of all of that.
This law allows anyone to partake in two of those roles. This new feature heavily increases the effectiveness of enforcement of laws. Now you have nearly limitless amounts of police officers, detectives, and prosecutors. So is this a good thing? In today's society there exists some amount of social trust. We as a society accept that there will always be some amount of lawlessness. People will cheat on their tax forms, people will pirate videos and movies, people will speed, people will sell and do drugs. This is not entirely due to an inability to do so. We push back on the government and companies from tracking and tapping our phones.
Yet this new mechanism could change all of that if applied to other laws. What if instead of a speeding ticket, any citizens could sue you and win that $X amount of money. What if reporters and media institutions could sue any business/business person that they find has cheated on their tax forms? What if a disgruntled family member or ex-friend/partner sues someone over drug use?
Does this new legal strategy inherently increase the effectiveness of the execution of laws? Could this ultimately lead to rise of hardline law and order? Are there any limits that can and should be placed? Should we apply these mechanisms to other existing laws?
Hi, I am a current high school senior who got admission to Texas A&M for ETAM and UT Dallas for computer science. I would go to TAMU, but ETAM and the fact that it is in the middle of nowhere is pushing me away from fully commiting. As for UTD, I actually got my major and it is close to home. However, I've heard some pretty depressing reviews about UTD on this subreddit. Therefore, I would like a brutally honest review for this school (and if possible, in comparison with TAMU). Thanks!
I'm having a hell of a time trying to do this.
Is there a list of exchanges that offer native LUNA? I see coingecko has a list, but it doesn't show which exchanges are trading native Luna (at least from what I saw).
I've been searching but it appears that exchanges that I have found that offer native Luna like OkCoin, KuCoin, etc. do not allow me as US Citizen and Texas Resident to deposit USD and purchase native LUNA.
I was looking for a list of exchanges that sell native LUNA in order to see if I could find one that would allow me to buy directly, or is that not possible at this point?
I wanted to deposit USD in order to buy native LUNA to send to my Ledger, (I'm trying to avoid having to create yet another wallet) so I could use the Terra app on my ledger to interact with Terra Station in order to stake some Luna, and convert some Luna to UST to put on Anchor.
My other option is buy USDC on Gemini or USDC or XLM on Coinbase Pro, send USDC / XLM to to KuCoin, sell USDC / XLM for USDT, then sell USDT for LUNA.
I was going to buy USDC on BlockFi, but I don't have it setup to be able to send out right now, so I didn't want to mess with it.
Another alternative is buy ETH LUNA on Gemini and send it to some bridge thing to make it native Luna, then send that to Ledger? That seems like it would cost a lot since its based on ETH gas fees and the one someone told me about needed kyc, and I don't want to go through all that again.

Part of the four part book series: Citizen Science for Research Libraries — A Guide
Published by the LIBER Citizen Science Working Group
Section Editor Jitka Stilund Hansen
Open access, read online https://doi.org/10.25815/hf0m-2a57
The guide is designed to be a practical toolbox to help run a citizen science project. It has been put together from contributions by members of the research library community and has been thoroughly peer-reviewed.
The skilling section focuses on the use of data and this new challenging role for the library — in public engagement and supporting researchers. The guide provides a number of step-by-step guides and concrete project examples. In the guide you will learn about the different roles for citizens in a project, project management, communication, the use of data and knowledge provided by citizens, questions of FAIR data, and how scientific literacy can be used for co-creation and education in citizen science.
Researchers have been branching out into new areas of citizen science as digital services have pervaded many parts of people’s lives, such as — wearable health tracking, using data for COVID‑19, and for climate change mitigation and monitoring. Research libraries are in a unique position to offer up the frameworks and infrastructures built by the open science movement for wider use by researchers in society.
Citizen science is quite often closely linked to the creation of data. Citizen science can be used by the researcher to identify which data may answer their questions, or in increasing scientific literacy in wider society by attracting citizens and other stakeholders interested in the data: collecting data, telling the story of the data, or repurposing data.
Citizen science is a key pillar of open science. The UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science for the first time creates consensus on definitions and principles for open science. Citizen science plays a variety of roles in the overall open science endeavour of the democratization of knowledge.
The guide is part of a themed series of four sections based on the LIBER Open Science Roadmap that cover the essentials to support citizen science projects: skills, infrastructures, good practice, and programme development.

I would go to TAMU, but ETAM is pushing me away from fully commiting. As for UTD, I actually got in for my major, and it's close to home (much cheaper). To help me make my choice, I would like a brutally honest opinion about this college (and in comparison to UTD if possible). Thanks and gig 'em!
Edit: I would also like to know how easy is it to get scholarships while in college and how hard is it to get into the CS honors program.
