Two major sides:

1. Reputation. Journals are a provider, mainly, of a note saying "this paper is worth reading". This reputation is calculated largely by how much the papers they publish get cited later on. Due to the speed of iterations of science (how long it takes for a published paper to be used in more work, and then that new work to be published) it takes a long time to get past this.

2. Organised peer review. Despite the reviewers working for free, it's still not a free process. There's a great twitter thread about this from someone at peerJ (founder?) but I can't find a link now.

Getting more and more common is to pay the publisher and have the work made openly available, or at least to deposit the work in an institutional repository.

I often watch video's from this channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/jsonmez It focusses on all the non-technical stuff like finding clients as a freelancer, how to learn a new programming language, become more productive etc.
I had the opportunity to attend a fireside chat with d'Agostino at The Family in Paris. Someone asked that very question. The answer was they view pitching one's product as a perfectly valid answer to questions such as "what's the best product to achieve X".

As a dev I don't mind these pitches when looking for tools. The comments/votes often provide a rather complete picture, at least for the most active questions
It seems to me that the types of immersive experiences described by sci-fi authors years ago and branded as the metaverse is currently alive and well in the form of popular PC games like GTA, ARK and PUBG. Its just not branded/consumed as VR, i.e. with headsets, and it lacks the open-world customization and connectivity that was assumed in many of the stories. I believe that is mainly down to limitations with realistic graphics needing to be prebaked and networking issues as well as lack of adoption of peer-to-peer systems like content distribution and payment.

I think that eventually we will move back towards the open-world, user-created and maximally immersive metaverse in a huge way. A few things will make that happen. One is peer to peer distributed services, which I believe will eventually replace most centralized services. It will just become the way we do distribute code, content, and money. Sure, people have been talking about this for many years, but while the adoption and applications haven't reached wide popularity, they continue to grow steadily. This is just as much about social change as it is about technology. And groups of people change and adapt slowly.

Another enabling technology will be real-time path tracing or ray tracing etc. This will probably be enabled by better hardware and/or custom chips designed for global illumination. If we can combine this effectively with procedural generation, that can really reduce the bandwidth requirements and make custom, on-the-fly networked loading of diverse complex realistic environments much more practical.

Another thing that will move us back towards those old-school metaverse visions is better VR hardware. When we have widely available inexpensive high resolution, lightweight, untethered displays and convenient, high-fidelity input devices, VR will become the default computing mode for large numbers of people. Within a few years those things will come together.

One last element of the metaverse stories is AI, which is also advancing quickly. So I think we will see that sci-fi vision fully bloomed within the next decade at the most.

Ideal situation, where having wearable VR devices, that is small in size, efficient in energy consumption, fast processing unit that there is no lag, and excellent algorithm that makes interact with real world effortless...what is VR's biggest usage for a common joe?
Check out the book "County Property: Dirt Cheap". It has some good tips.

Note Lake County is high in fire danger, so depending on where you buy you'll want to take that into account for insurance cost or building style. Neighbors are also pretty critical to whether or not you'll be happy with this dream of yours.

To borrow the logical construct from the OP:

> Or, at the very least, I cannot be entirely indivisible, since cells are part of me and they are dividing.

The point is more that the universe must have the capacity for consciousness within it's inner-workings, much like divisibility must be inherent in any biological system -- more so than "cells" being divisibile -- we're after the notion of divisibility itself.
AFAIR, it began some months ago at a certain day. I am serious.

Since then links to mainstream or low quality articles in mainstream media and blog posts have flooded hacker news.
no - the REASON why we use gamma is deeply historical and has essentially to do with trying to build TV receivers with the minimum number of vacuum tubes
> Gee, it's almost as if we aren't even customers. Certainly not customers who are listened to and respected.

For any product that is shipped at large enough scale:

* The barriers to entry to replace that product at similar cost and apparent feature set get necessarily higher

* The share of overall demand which is de facto inelastic increases, and therefore decreases in quality have a disproportionately low effect on overall demand

Regulation is a necessary tool to fight this phenomenon.

Access controls are actually fairly locked down. I would guess the access control list for Gmail data is only ~10 people. If any of them were to make use of their access permissions, it would automatically trigger a review of their actions.
Although this is interesting, there are some logical weak points. A few that came to mind:

* CostCo has a proud reputation for using their annual membership fees to provide door-buster prices.

* Salary is a coarse and incomplete proxy for the cost of an audiologist visit.

* I see no justification for comparing ear exams to eye exams. Why not proctology?

* You seem to imply that doctors pay cash out of pocket for their medical inventory, instead of operating more like a car dealership, where inventory is held on credit

They basically work as a "neutral" refree and communication medium between competing groups and meta groups (universitys) and create a neutral evaluation of the goods these rivaling organisations produce.

The reason they are not replaced is for the same reason, stocktrading places can not simply be "replaced"- aka you cant open up a competing wall-street.
No way. We're testing in multiple browsers because of Javascript only.
The concept is cool, but I'd like to point out a couple of issues.

The explosion/flashing thing is somewhat annoying. Honestly comes off as childish.

Tab-completion _deletes_ word under cursor if no match is found? Why?

Why is the terminal built on angular? Seems like an overkill. Partly because I think Angular is a terrible abomination, but in general there's not much going on there to even warrant a framework.
> You build the new one whilst the old one is in maintenance mode and swap in new bits as and when you can.

Continuous incremental improvement of a production system may, over time, have the same net effect as a an idealized big-bang replacement, but it's a very different process (it's usually what people who are saying you should never do a ground-up replacement prefer instead, because actual big-bang replacements, unlike idealized ones, are usually a shitstorm: and the reason is that they are usually done to the kind of systems you describe, overcomplicated key systems with inadequate documentation or institutional memory, and they are done instead of trying to get a firm grasp on each component of the existing system before replacing that component. And so they end up, at best, being exceedingly well designed, but overlooking key elements of business function discovered and implemented, but not durably documented, in the original system.)

It's a huge chunk and it's an underappreciated problem.

Many appliance vendors have terrible self-made TLS stacks. There's a bunch of vendors whose names come up again and again when talking about stupid TLS bugs and vulnerabilities. Cisco, F5, Cavium, A10, Citrix, Fortinet are names that come to mind. And it's not only a problem for security, it's also a huge compatibility problem, as they tend to violate the protocol in ways that makes deploying new features and versions hard.

I've once given a talk where I tried to highlight this:

> We didn't have HPC workloads, just Postgres, which uses one OS process per connection, and performance was terrible as a result.

I'd bet, but not too much, that that was more due to a) postgres' internal locking implementation scaling horribly at that time b) zone_reclaim_mode leading to bad behaviour around IO.
We will capture this feedback so that we can get back to it. It is very helpful. Thanks.

In terms of the verb and the version, you can either select them from the dropdown, type or use dynamic values. The URL and all other input fields, certainly support dynamic values, which can be selected from the dropdown or autocompleted by typing the value text. We have wider support for transforms which can be nested like Paw and we do have variables, which can also be nested. You can build very complex dynamic expressions (http://bit.ly/2gz3OXO). These two features alone superset Paw on the same feature set.

We don't have builtin OAuth support but we are working on it. We don't have collections but you can save in projects (so files and folders).

The tool works in the browser by leveraging a minimal browser extension. There is currently work in progress to build it on top of Electron as a desktop app but it can be done in WebKit as well on Mac. We have not decided yet.

I genuinely believe this tool will improve your workflow once we add OAuth support and collections hence why I mentioned it here. And we do have a favourable licensing model which allows you to use the tool free of charge. This tool also works really well with all our other tools which allow you to fuzz, run security scans, and perform request inspection inside your browser without the need to install a proxy. You can even monitor iPhone HTTP traffic without too much fiddling (http://bit.ly/2h5nwex) and all of these features will be part of the desktop app.
are y'all talking about chroots?
Great suggestion. Most of the lowest priced laptops have Celeron processors and 1366 x 768 screens. Whilst they are Ok for some people, I'd prefer 1920x1080 14" screen, i5, 16GB RAM and SSD. Whilst such spec laptops are not from the bargains bin, they are more pleasant to work with in the long term.
Thank you for your response. I understand your points and will rethink my hate for PDFs.

What I don't understand is why I got at least 2 downvotes. These days I'm getting downvotes for every opinion I express on HN. It's very annoying.
Does anybody know what's the technical ground for some games to have dark areas turn brighter (typically, of a squashed, dark, green/blue) instead of darker?

I remember one game ("Through the woods") which had this problem in a very aggressive form. It was very visible while playing, but it's hard to find a screenshot.

Here, for example, the house on the left (but also the cabin in the center:

http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/368430/ss_74ec0...

What's the exact issue? Is it a tone mapping problem? I'm curious, because I have a rather good monitor, and some dark games (eg. "Alien: Isolation") are equally dark, but don't look as bad as this.
That's true, but why is it important?
I’m a minority, had health issues in the past, tried to “man up”, still got some people not taking me seriously and thanks to politics it went viral anyway. What now?

Are you a programmer? If so, is not getting yelled at what motivates you to write good software?
It depends.

I used to walk to school alone when I was little. When I was a little older I walked my younger brother to his school, then I walked to mine. My parents didn't need a car to do that for us.

However all of us used a car to go shopping once a week. A four people family buys an incredible amount of stuff. Sometimes I walked with my mother to small shops to buy fresh food during the week.

We also walked to health care centers. Everything was in a 20, maybe 30 minutes range.

If cities are planned to place homes close to important locations there is little need for cars.
For the record, I’ve never touched the native calculator. I’ve been using an RPN tool called CALX. It’s great. I’d more than happily pay to use it, but it’s free!

Using data from regular people as a PART of such a research would help tremendously in my opinion. People do not need to know why this data is gathered when answering it.
Easy? Minimal? Ok, yes, compared to... something. C++ standards committee. But consider mathematics. You hand someone an algorithm, valid exactly on some theory/algebra/structure, with its types/equality, operators, and laws. And that's it - that's everything. It doesn't matter what they're named, or in what order they were gathered, or where that structure happens to appear in the lattice of some prelude or another. There's no context, no cruft. If you want a language with the expressive power of mathematics, it needs to support the expressive power of mathematics.

This description is not consistent with my limited observation of discussions among some involved.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, this wasn't aimed at you at all, I just responded to yours because you mentioned timings on a same gen device as mine and it seems mine is significantly faster. As for the rest, it's just that the sarcastic, conspiracist, passive-aggressive tone of many of the sibling comments is unnerving.

Do you believe IQ is directly linked to the lack of social skills?

I have always had a problem assuming everyone else gets what I am trying to imply, even with shorter sentences - but over the 26 years of my life I learned that was not true at all.

So essentially my learning of "why do I suck at socialising" had always been linked to learning "what are people not aware of", rather than somehow being "socially incapable".
My biggest gripe is the flashlight delay - swipe up for control center, tap flashlight, and the actual light takes easily a third of a second to turn on. I suspect that's also waiting for the stupid animation to complete.

Honestly I feel like the people in charge of iOS have stopped using the devices personally. I have no other explanation for so much annoying crap slipping through (ok, other than some idiot exec being in love with the animations, and shutting down any attempt to correct this behaviour, like what happened with Forstall's obsession with skeuomorphism).
I disagree, most companies don't really 'grow' like you're suggesting. The odds of joining a company like AirBnB, DropBox, Facebook, etc... While in its early stages approaches 0% - There is a massive amount of luck involved. These kinds of learning opportunities are essentially impossible to come by.
However, if you switch companies often and work for a range of companies at different stages of development, then there is a very good chance that you will have the opportunity to learn about all the different stages of development without putting all your bets on one horse.

99.9% of the time, the single-company mindset that you're suggesting just gets people stuck in a rut (I've seen it). If you've had a different experience then you're one of the lucky ones.
Usually, institutions don't subscribe to everything a publisher has on offer, but rather a subset that is interesting for them. Therefore, if a download works with a set of credentials, it should not look suspicious.

Storing the documents on Sci-hub controlled machines also makes sure that repeated requests don't actually hit the publishers, which significantly lowers what would otherwise be suspiciously high traffic.
Being a simulation has nothing to do with it. It's previous states are knowable from current states.
Microsoft drops lawsuit against government as DOJ reins in use of gagging orders
They would likely restrict play store installs, and currently there is no way to side-load Android apps; the normal Android developer mode options does not allow side-loading anyway, much less an enterprise managed device. I don't think there's any way to "restrict" dev mode, necessarily... anyone can put any Chromebook into dev mode, and lose all data that was on it in the process.
They seems to break less than (low quality) mechanical buttons.

"Your very link shows a number of times the treaty was ignored."

And yet it largely remains effective. Despite all the things you mention, people still speak Spanish in the Spanish half. Ask the Aztecs, Incas, Mayas... how pragmatically effective the Pope's grant was.

I'm really not sure what your argument is here.

"The power goes out once in a while, therefore electricity is useless"? "Doctors can't always save the patient, therefore medicine is useless"? "People sometimes murder, therefore we should not have laws against murder"?
Not being an expert on supersonic turbofans, I went to the obvious first information source and it was surprisingly illustrative. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbofan

From a little further reading it seems it seems that supersonic turbofans are actually just the apex of the continued sophisticated work being done on jet engines which has allowed them to push the intake fans of low bypass turbofans up to supersonic airflow speeds.
Indeed. How can scihub be on #1 on the HN homepage?
Yes, many papers are available ... somewhere ... if you know precisely where to look for them and find them.

The great thing about Sci-Hub, and a not-inconsequential element of its success, is that it is very nearly universal. Content is simply available in the archive in a tremendous number of cases. And is directly referenceable by DOI (or, when it's working, direct search).

The size of an archive matters as it reduces search costs across archives (this is a reason why archives tend to "a single max-size dump" dynamics). If you look at lists of the world's largest libraries, for example, it's pretty much the U.S. Library of Congress, and ... everything else. Even at the university library level, the largest collections tend to be fairly uniform at about 15-20 million volumes (Harvard, University of California, etc.).

The fact that a scholar can go to one such institution and have access to their entire archive is a compelling advantage. Shoe-leather adds up when you're crossing provincial or national borders.

Similar dynamics drove the adoption of single scholarly languages -- Greek, Latin, Arabic, Latin (again), French, German, and (in a battle with German and Russian) English following the 2nd world war, given that works had to be translated only to one language (English) rather than mulitiple.

Similar arguments, compounded by the insane costs of scribe and codex formation, applied in the pre-print era.
Huge trade surplus (and resulting low unemployment) is effect of the euro, which is undervalued for Germany (and overvalued for most of the eurozone).

Germany sure is nice country to live in, but it benefits a lot at the expense of others.
That isn't how it works at all. It is far more than an audiologist "fiddling with a GUI". The audiologist first does a hearing test, which is gives an audiogram which is a gain versus frequency plot that takes into account equal loudness curves. This is how they know to recommend hearing aids in the first place. This is the initial basis for tuning. Final tuning lets them adjust for things like ear canal size.

If patents tuned it themselves, they would have too little gain at high frequencies since they may not have heard these frequencies in years and think they sound unnatural. It takes a while to become "used" to hearing aids because patients haven't heard the usual sounds of life like paper rustling in years.
