I think there is plenty of engagement in that conversation, via new alternative publishing models, but putting that aside for a second, I think there are two separate issues here:

1. Academia has a broken incentive model. I agree with you, I think this is a valid point.

2. Academic publishing is an exploitative monopolistic business.

I don't think the big publishers will be able to do much about (1), because they haven't done anything about (2) - which seems to me to be a much easier problem to solve, as the power is in your hands to immediately start paying reviewers for their time, as a simple example.
> A good rule of thumb is 25% of take home pay should go towards housing and up to 40% in the Bay Area. 40% can be done if you minimize costs like going out or have a second income.

This is an interesting, and perhaps telling, assertion. 40% can be done if you minimize costs, not only in the Bay Area, but anywhere else. Thus, the implicit point here is apparently that the opportunity set in the Bay Area is so great that it's justifiable to allocate an additional 15% of pretax income just to live there, relative to anywhere else on the planet.

I'm not sure if I buy that, especially within the context of taking a job that you've already been offered that has a defined comp package vs. moving somewhere to find a new job.
That only pins the value of a bitcoin in relation to other bitcoins - it does nothing to pin the value of a bitcoin to real-world goods. And the only practical value of a bitcoin, in the long run, is its value in relation to real-world goods.

It's also worth remembering that once the inflation of bitcoin stops at the 21m mark, it can only ever deflate from there as wallets (and their associated coins) are lost. As bad as inflation is, a deflating currency is not any better.

Of course, the proposed solution to bitcoin deflation was (at least at one point) just to inflate the bitcoin currency by effectively moving the decimal point to the right (one bitcoin becomes 10, etc).
The UK can still compel them, by compelling Facebook's relevant country director.

The method used here (physically detaining a non Facebook actor who is not a UK citizen who had access to the docs under a protective order and threatening them until they caved) is so far beyond unacceptable it's hard to fathom.

As I said in the other thread, the only reason this could ever be acceptable of because of hate of Facebook, seen quite well I'm this thread.

(As I also said in the other thread it is also hard to believe it was anything other than a deliberate deal between the UK land and sixfourthree)

I feel the pain as I read your line. One great disaster in my career early on was my going into Haskell, and also Prolog, after frustration with Java (remember Java Beans etc?) in an enterprise project. Whereas Perl5 (this was in the biotech/genomics industry) and later Python did the real work. Still I cannot forget the impressive functional power while coding Ocaml.

Some years ago in one of RMS interviews he told the seller should not remain private but the buyers privacy must be protected. So his views has never changed.
I wouldn't consider a home-grown autotools/gcc/valgrind setup to be "simple", especially when it comes to dependency management (assuming you care that dependencies don't conflict and that your code links against the right version of the dependency and deterministic/reproducible builds and so on). If you can afford the personnel to manage all of that, then that's great, but for those of us who can't, it's nice to be able to run `go build` or `go test` with zero configuration.

I've always though if a forum like this had a little age indicator (or experience indicator, or something like 'this person is smart') it would be a lot more useful.

Blockbuster disappeared because the technology it was built upon became obsolete. It also didn't require specialized labour skills - the employees just took their retail experience across the street.

This just seems like a different kind of situation to me. Automotive isn't going anywhere, GM just couldn't perform.

Yes, I realize that for console gaming you need to be "approved" to write games.

However, my understanding is that this suite is about apple abusing the app-writing monopoly to also let only them sell apps, which is why I thought the console game analogy was sound.

As for merchants, I'm sure second hand stores and those at flea markets have signed all of these contracts. /S

Yes, I was sort-of referencing multiple arms of Sony. Sorry if that complicated things.

Yes, I know Microsoft has a blessed app storeb however, like Android, you can still install your own, unsigned executables or use another app store (there are some more recent package managers for Windows iirc? It's not really what I deal with.)

I remember the issues with the arm based surfaces. Iirc one of the current selling points of a surface ia that you can run any software on them.

I think this case will be interesting because there are platforms that come close to, but don't have quite, the control apple does over both who can generate applications as well as who can sell them. Where those platforms evolve 8s directly related to the outcome here I think.
This is more seed / A stage. Once solid revenues are established it's a different game. I edited the original comment to reflect this.
That's probably not going to happen. What's probably going to happen is they'll take a slight lead for a few years, then we'll take notice and replicate that.
Essentially, general-purpose CPUs became better at implementing LISP than the more specialized processors. A secondary cause is the onset of the AI winter, which meant that the major market was for these machines went away. (These factors also crushed Japan's Fifth generation computer project, which bet heavily on a logic programming paradigm for AI that became completely irrelevant).

Which is the silly part about "smart contracts" in the first place. Any smart contract dispute will just "devolve" back into the meatspace legal system. Anything that isn't a dispute because it is just "routine execution" (eg: moving money from account A to account B automatically) can simply be called "business automation" that consist of a bunch of "business rules"--basic terminology that has existed since the dawn of computers.

Smart contracts do nothing but add overhead to any transaction.
Azure Data Studio – Cross Platform SQL Tool
I am not an expert but from what I have read there are still a lot of unknowns in plasma physics and fusion so it makes sense to tackle fusion from a lot of different angles and not pick a winner already. In the end what's needed is more money for research. It'a s little sad that people are complaining about the high cost of ITER while spending multiples of that for military. Fusion may be a big contributor for peace in the future if it reduces the need for fighting about access to oil.
Yes, they are all bad, but at some point you will have to choose the lesser evil.
For one, all x86 malware fails instantly. That's why some people I knew who wouldn't be targeted more specifically were still on PowerPC Macs. Their software was fine for their use case. I have one for experiments from 2003 that ran YouTube fine with a bit of lag a year or two ago. Although I used default, there's even still a browser for it:

https://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

People who use a lot of terminal apps that don't need a full-on browser or non-portable apps can use it to its fullest. Most importantly besides owner-controlled, the fact that you're getting to use, show off, and develop on a unique system nobody else in your area probably has. Let's not forget the novelty and awing people aspect of tech that might sell some of these.
I'm no longer interested in a paid developer role.
I thought standard work weeks were 40 hours (at least in the US)? Are your work weeks normally shorter?
I see the point made here though. The actual sales pitch isn't for a moment talking about the actual solution, like in this deck what is being sold here? is it a SaaS product? Consulting services? Business Advice? How long will it take? What's the ROI? Who does the work? Does it work with our current systems? How much does it cost? What does the ongoing model look like?

Of course you will go on to answer all of these in detail, but the deal is practically won by the time those questions are asked. And that's how you end up with poor software or massive enterprise consulting contracts that aren't helpful to anyone. Meanwhile the sales team goes off and hunts down a fresh client.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say its an OCuLink connector.

OCuLink can turn into M.2, U.2, or a variety of SATA connectors.
Used to work at a place with a strict dress code. Despite me being a designer and despite us working in a grotty little office with no visitors, suits and ties were mandatory.

We had a couple of shared ties we’d drag out whenever we had a meeting with the chief exec. They were coffee stained and chewed but we were wearing ties and that was all that mattered to him.

I highly recommend anyone trying to understand this subject read the papers of Dr. Mica Endsley, former Chief Scientist of the US Air Force.

She makes a distinction between the 3 levels of Situational Awareness and Situational Understanding. Here are the 3 levels of Situational Awareness she proposed:

* Perception of Elements in Current Situation

* Comprehension of Current Situation

* Projection of Future Status

Here is a diagram:

Probably the best place to start is:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/210198492_Endsley_M...

I think this paper, and others of hers, should be recommended reading for any AI researcher. I also think "Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" should be recommended as well.

FYSA, the research community seems split on Dr. Endsley's theories, though there seem to be a majority that view them as correct, based on my own informal experience.

I would say the opposite. Achieving fusion power is so critical to the long term sustainability of human technological civilization that we cannot afford to put all of our eggs in one basket, and hope that we picked the right one.

Turn of phrase here, fair point. I meant "if you want to review, then it will be additional time outside of doing your paid work."

Second question is an interesting point: what happens if you don't review? I can tell you that it is certainly the case that a lot of academics don't do reviewing. Given the amount of reviewing I and my colleagues do, there must be others who are not doing their fair share (say 3 x your submission rate) of reviews. What are the consequences of not reviewing? Perhaps you can be seen as a freeloader, some social cost, but mostly people just won't know unless you're replying to them directly.

CREDIT SPECIALIST
I was researching online and I came across a glowing report of a beautiful hacker called Drotocol in a trusted UK credit site. I am in the UK and I needed to improve my credit score because I couldn’t get approved for a car mortgage as a result of a poor credit score. I had medical bills, too many inquiries, charge offs, late payments and an eviction. Although Dprotocol lives in the united states however, as a credit repair specialist he promised to erase all the negative items influencing my credit profile negatively, replacing them with good lines of credit and eventually increase my score to a high 700 so I can be qualified for the car mortgage and even qualify for the new job I seek. Guess what happened after 7 business days - he actually did all he said he will do, deleted all the negative items and raised my score. My family and I are very happy now because I got the car mortgage and the new job. If anyone needs his or her credit fixed ASAP, whether in the Uk, Canada or US, Just run to him he will get the job done in a relatively short time.

> Nothing explodes, the code keeps running

in my book, this is not a good thing but a very bad thing.

If I'm a library function somewhere all the way down the stack and I'm at a point where something about the state I'm working on isn't up to the specification I expect them to be, then I'd prefer the safety of blowing up.

I don't want to be responsible for my callers eventually ignoring my error code and happily churning along thinking that I have fulfilled my promise and enacted the side-effect I promised to have.

If something else, far removed from me depends on me to having had the side effect, it might blow up. Or it might write corrupt data. Suddenly a thing that went wrong at one place blows up at a totally different place which makes it incredibly hard to debug.

And if the world is burning, "hard to debug" is about the least wanted property a problem could have.

Oh no. If the world is burning for me, then I absolutely do not want to continue.

But I also do not want to abort the daemon process I'm being hosted in because that would mean affecting other threads of execution (be it threads, coroutines or whatever else) where the world might be in a totally acceptable state.

Calling `exit` in a library function is outright rude.

If I get to `throw`, I can make absolutely sure that I made it clear to my caller or my caller's caller that I panicked while there's still a chance for my parent daemon to not die but handle my panic cleanly. Or, my caller, or its caller was prepared for me failing and can chose another way out.

But by throwing I can raise a very strong signal that something is wrong and I have the guarantee that if I'm being ignored, then I will kill my parent which is totally their fault for ignoring me and it will be very obvious what happened, why it happened, and, above all, where it happened.

If I'm an engineer wearing my devops hat, I'd much rather debug an uncaught exception causing a stack trace to be logged in sentry.io (or whatever else you use. I'm a very happy sentry customer, but your might have your own tool) rather than corrupted data that might have been corrupted months ago.
I doubt anyone is going to get voted out over this, which is ultimately the only standard that has ever applied to the UK parliment's actions.

>It's important to be aware of dilution events so that you realize when you accept the offer that your .025% will be more like .008%

But you're repeating the same error of prioritizing the wrong thing: dilution.

What employees ultimately care about is their wealth calculation: shares_multiplied_by_price.

Example of the type of math people actually care about:

0.008% (because dilutions) a $1 billion company is $80k
0.025% (no dilution) of a $100 million company is $25k.

People would rather have $80k than $25k. The dilutions that dropped them from 0.025% to 0.008% is irrelevant trivia.

For most employees that are minority shareholders, dilution is a side-effect calculation in the realm of academic trivia. Dilution is not a purposeful strategy in this situation. Highlighting "dilution" in advice for employees in an attempt to make them more financially more sophisticated has the opposite effect!

The scenarios for dilution to be a calculated strategy would be something like a founder considering 2 different offers from potential investors. One VC offers $20 million for 15% of the company. Another offers $30 million for 25% of the company. Or some founders selling too much of a percentage such that the dilution crosses some boundary such as 51% ownership where they collectively lose control of the company. These deliberate decisions around dilution are very different from employees realistically worrying about dilution dropping them from 0.025% to 0.008%!

I'm sorry, I don't know what the legacy model is. If you mean the way academic publishing works right now, I don't think anyone disputes the fact that publishing to a journal, free or not, constitutes a contribution to knowledge. I mean, I sure do not.

The way I understand the debate about reforming academic publishing, it's about the morality of profiting from resources set aside for public benefit, rather than private (or corporate) profit.
