Perhaps you could work remote, but rent an office in a co-working space with co-tenants who give you something close to your desired experience? A lot more difficult for machine learning than for a web developer, though...

Everyone in my group has an office, so it's not impossible, even outside academia. I'd still find the inquiry a little weird, especially with the "cognitive health" framing. It would be better to say "I want to work to the best of my abilities, and I've found that I'm most productive with a private office".

Am I the only person left who still worries about the incentive alignment problem inherent in the pay-to-publish model? To a first approximation, everyone wants to make more money. Journals under an open access model make more money when they publish more articles, and the fastest way to publish more articles is to lower standards and accept more articles for publication.

Researchers also have a strong incentive to publish as much as possible in order to boost their citation counts, which serve as a proxy for prestige these days and which factor heavily into tenure decisions. Since grants and institutions[1] pay for open access publication fees, researchers have an incentive to select "predatory" journals with low standards and high fees. We already see this dynamic developing.

In short, all the incentives line up to encourage the publication of a large volume of low-quality research. Science already has a severe problem with junk research, especially in the social sciences where a large fraction of results simply do not reproduce. Do we want to make this problem even worse?

I'm sure the specific people involved in the system have the best intentions, but as a matter of history and of human nature, good intentions are powerless in the face of incentives. The most dangerous four-word phrase in human history is "This time, it's different".

[1] Google, for example, will pay open-access publication fees.
I try to look deeper than just Western and non-Western forces.

I believe Galloway and all the people concerned here do sue for peace given any fair prospect of it and recall Galloway was active against Apartheid in South Africa. Craig Murray was too even while he was a british civil servant under Thatchers government at the time (who considered the ANC simply a terrorist organisation).

Regardless of the summary of George Galloway, Craig Murray, Robert Fisk, John Pilger, David Edwards etc. that you would put up for debate, and of these suspicions of extra-national interest suggested here as "realpolitik" and "zone of sympathy" -- the persons own wikipedia bios should be technically even handed if not charitable, so that the Wikipedia reader (and supporter) doesn't have to fill in a case for the defence or the prosecution themselves to achieve balance.

I don't think the incentives on the researcher side are that poor.
I can't pay OA fees out of NSF awards. I have to do so out of discretionary funds, which are substantially harder to come by. I think carefully before paying them.

I am a long time 1Password user, purchased Mac licenses, IOS and Android over the years.

I was annoyed when it changed to being subscription based, the price wasn't an issue I think for the value it gives the price is fair, 1Password is the only thing now keeping me on a Mac.

The issue i had with it is you don't own the software and when my credit card expired and i forgot to update it losing access to passwords even if temporarily until updating the card details left a bad taste and showed the downside of being subscription only.

It's been on my list to move away ever since. 12 months on I've still not done it, there's lot's of alternatives but 1Password have the UX and functionality just right however i know i should move as i now don't own my passwords.

I reserve the F keys for toggles. F2 is set to pastetoggle. F3 turns numbers on and off. F4 turns special characters on and off.
Sure: that's the case today. My argument is that the open-access world still has a quality bar due to social inertia, that this quality bar exists in spite of the current incentive structure, and that over time, the incentives will come to dominate outcomes.

How would you feel about a subscription service that guaranteed updates? Essentially, upgrade pricing, but charged every month.

I don't think so, since I meant "the same functionality as the user visible functionality" -- not that of the language.

>You’re asking for that heterogeneous type flexibility, either because you need it or the overhead doesn’t matter in your case. But either way, by writing that Python program you are saying, “I’d like all this stuff Python gives me.”

That's irrelevant to the end user though. You could argue that Python makes it faster to deliver the program (which is a win for the end user), but if the program is ultimately slower and more frustrating, the user might have preferred a faster version, if he was given the chance, even if that meant paying more or waiting more to get it.
We have been trying to launch our startup for about 2 years, which is a very hard thing to type out or admit. It's easy to assume that if we haven't done it yet it may never work, but we believe in the idea and don't see anyone else trying to do it.

> 1. I have limited marketing budget, do i go from one company to another when starting?

We ran out of runway a while ago and sadly we never got to spend a dime on marketing. Trade shows and conferences can be a good investment because you can get a real idea of how people are reacting to you. This is why we know we have made mistakes with our launch because we get feedback at shows. You can also identify product market fit better because people might say they support your product and it's the best, but you can find out exactly what is keeping them from signing a contract.

Without a lot of spare money to pay other people to market, you'll be forced to do the grind yourself. Get on the phone or start sending emails reaching out to prospective clients and customers. Find out if they understand your value proposition and if not what's wrong with it. It sounds crappy, and it can be, but you need to set a goal of making X contacts per day and start your growth. If you don't want to do this you'll have to pay someone at least $500-$1000 a month to do it for you.

> I am bootstrapping my startup and what are the chances some established company can like and steal my idea.

If your idea can be stolen then your model is likely not great. For example if you're goal is to make a little widget and sell it that's probably not going to work very well right now since China will simply clone it and undercut you. For our product we stand out by integrating with other companies in a way nobody else is doing, and it's less likely a competitor would want to put in all that leg work just to become on par with us.

> Regarding recruitment, who are the key decision makers in a company.

That depends on the company. Some companies have "HR firewalls" where nobody can get involved with the company unless HR okays it, usually because they foot the bill for unemployment and severance, so they make more if they can reduce these metrics.
yes, journals do depend on accepting a certain number of publications... the good news is that for a good journal, that number is far far less than the number of submissions. Journals care most about their brand - that is, if journal x gets a reputation for publishing everything, people will only send them crap, and/or will avoid publishing there entirely for fear of guilt-by-association. What open access journals are selling to authors is rigorous peer review, editing, and help with getting the word out. As more open access journals appear, the competition for high-quality submissions will only increase.
Wow! Did you wget all the torrents and run rtorrent or something on them?
I have been noticing this effect as well, and I was thinking that there needs to be a change in how we design programming languages. The old programming languages are treating characters or words as atomic units, but human mind does not really work at words. We work at sentences or lines. Each line can have its own context and can host more flexible syntax. On one hand, the programming languages can be more expressive when designed toward line units -- lines naturally can host more vocabulary than isolated words; on the other hand, the compilers and parsers can actually be simpler or smarter, as lines pose boundary of syntax and errors may be confined and easy to recover.

Surprised to see that he's gone back to an empty vimrc after years with high customization. To me customization is such a great part of vim that I can't imagine being without it. For instance, I have shortcuts to find and replace on visual selection. I also have at least 5 plugins in my vimrc that are absolutely necessary for my workflow. Pure vim is nice if you need to occasionally edit files, but if you use it as your prime editor its not enough without customization.
Reverse engineering and “exploiting” a game trainer
Curious thought process... we spend about 12-20 years of our life going at a specific pace to learning "stuff" in different categories. What if you were given a choice - Learn the stuff in a class in 12-20 years of wasted time OR just have a list of all the material you must know, along with sample questions (so you know you're learning the right material) and have a venue to turn in work (so you get feedback). But instead of spending 12-20 (or more) years, you are given the choice to do whatever pace you want. So in that sense, could really fast people basically "Doogie Howser" it and start a career by 15?

And possibly a related question - instead of doing ANY higher learning activities, we push all that into vocations - basically if you want to be a rocket scientist you ... start being a rocket scientist intern, learn the trade by being a peon in the shops?

Non-profit member-run organizations come to mind. “Pay” for publication with credits earned doing volunteer review work, or something like that. Or even just a pay to publish with a non profit mandate and board elected by the published researchers would eliminate much of the complained about incentive problem.

The problem here is having a for profit publisher, not the way in which that publisher makes its revenue.
I always felt that learning styles didn't really have an effect. But I have thought that multiple modalities does improve. Take notes, make flashcards, read, discuss, have others quiz you, etc. I wish they could have included that in the test. Use one modality for 1hr minutes vs 2 modalities for 30 minutes each. It may be just as weak/nonexistent as learning styles in general, but I would hypothesize that using multiple modalities will make a difference over using a single modality.
I have no empathy for anyone who gets in debt to go to a private college instead of going to a state school. Even better most state 4 year colleges have partnerships with even cheaper two year colleges where you could stay at home.

I went to a no name state school and within three years of graduating I was making just as much as students with tens of thousands in debt and had no debt.
This is great, though I kind of hoped there would be more talk of the tech vs. the art. Especially how they did those pixel-perfect collisions.

Failing to justify the existence of publishers seems like a bias to me.

Why don't universities forbid hosting of conferences that aren't open access. Then years later forbid participation in such conferences.

We can pay publishers for another 10-20 years to access what they have. But we should stop giving them content.

Publishing is practically free.
So familiar, so why state it without any special relevance, much less without attribution? Why waste our time then if everybody knows it?
> If you are paying for a subscription there isn’t necessarily an incentive to provide security updates even more

I'm not so sure - it'd be much easier to write the email saying "Sorry, we screwed up and got a critical security but wrong, but here's an update that fixes it." if a significant portion of your users are paying a subscription - compared to writing that same email just as marketing are preparing to try and convince everybody to pay for a new upgrade...

> That being said, security updates should be part of the price you already paid, since a security flaw is a flaw in their original software.

If that was how everything worked - our industry would be _very_ different. If everybody who ever charge money fo a piece of software was on the hook forever for all flaws it might have, you'd only ever be able to buy software from Apple or Oracle or Microsoft - there would need to be almost as any lawyers as developers in any software company.

I understand your idea - but it's the same idea as people who call up my work saying "Hey, the app you made us doesn't work any more, you need to fix it!" and everybody here is like "Who the hell are _they???_ Never even heard of them." and it turns out its a 32 bit iOS app that they paid for in 2013 and we haven't heard from since (and there's only 3 people left in the whole company who were around in '13, and none of them are iOS devs). We do not fix that for them as "part of the price they paid".

The closest thing I'm aware of is ":earlier {N}f", which "[Goes] to older text state {N} file writes before.".

So once you're somewhat happy with what you've got, write the file, and then continue editing, repeat, and you can revert back to any previous saved file state.
Why not some type of model that has universities support it, and get interested parties to peer-review them (much as is done now, since peer-reviewers aren't paid). Make it a non-profit and basically the universities come together to subsidize the hosting of the articles. Get rid of multiple journals completely, and instead have a great tagging and filtering system.
