What you like to see at the top of any article covering the press release of a study?

Something like an infobox with P-factor, whether it was pre-registered, sample size, funding organization, double-blind, etc?

This comic tackles the Academia side of things, but a lot of that motivation comes from press coverage. If the press has better capabilities to be critical of bad studies, Academia will give less credence to the same.
I would respond but you keep editing your comments to say something different so I don't really see the point but here we go.

I'll just say this, I think you have a pretty warped view of things if being called out of saying untrue things is the same a making someone your enemy or brings to mind a "gladiatorial arena".

I don't hate people or think of them as enemies just because they disagree with me or I disagree with them. If I get called out on bad behavior I reflect and adjust, I don't come out swinging and playing the victim card.

I don't think of you as my enemy, I think of you as someone who said something that I find to be a dangerous way of thinking/justifying and I said as much. Intent matters and the "truth" gotten to by invalid means is a problem even if it ends in "truth" (which again, this tweet did not even meet that bar).
Hi, I'm an author, so I have a vested interest in copyright being respected.

Are you familiar with the first-sale doctrine?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine

It basically says that once a person buys a creative work, they can do whatever they want with it, including selling it or lending it.

Controlled Digital Lending is a system that basically says, "Let's make the first-sale doctrine for digital books work the same as it does for physical books."

So, a library purchases a digital copy of a work. Then it lends out that copy, and until that copy is returned, it does not lend out any other copies of the work (even though it is technically possible to do so).

Note that while the library patron gets to borrow and read the work for free, the library has already paid for the work, so it is not as if this erodes copyright any more than it does for print books.
I think it's clear the downvoters probably didn't agree that those examples are bad enough to be downvoted. (I have no opinion).
When heads of state of Western nations are pushing the crank theories it's hard to blame the media for not filtering them.
I found their library to be very handy when my step-son forgot a book he needed for a high-school English class at his Dads. We tried to navigate Amazon to buy it but his account wasn't able to make purchase and then I found it available on here and we could check out a copy of it and he got his school work done. This was before they removed check out restrictions for the pandemic. There are lots of students who don't have credit cards or whose parents can't afford to buy ebooks or risk connecting their cards to their kids accounts where it could result in unplanned purchases. I honestly don't think authors will lose much money from people checking out books. Those who can and do pay for ebooks are unlikely to quit purchasing them but there are a lot of people without kindles & credit cards where something like this might be their only way to access the book.
Thanks @afkqs

It shrunk at an annualized rate of 32.9%, which means it actually shrunk about 8%.

If it actually shrunk 32.9% in one quarter, we'd not only be way beyond Great Depression territory but actually into full-on collapse of society.
Many IDEs and other editors have a vi-mode either built in or available as a plug in. I don’t use vim itself much (at work, at least) but I use vi keybindings everywhere.
I've been really happy with a similar Cannon printer (Cannon G3200).

The print quality is quite good, it comes with an insane amount of ink, and you literally buy full replacement bottles of ink and pour them in the tanks.

No artificial page limits, no checks for non-oem ink.
Every company that has the ability to do this as a recruiting tool will do it. We're using Elixir / we're using OCaml / we're using Clojure (we're using NLP / we're using ML). In every case there will be some "business" guy who understands just enough to try to impress some potential recruit. If you don't understand the domain and their actual usage of the tool or language enough to fall for this and not ask further questions, it's kind of a problem on your part.

> A developer named Joe Hewitt objected to the requirement, because he thought the language Apple was requiring was "mediocre." Hewitt went to the press with his complaints.

I think that we can all agree that of all the things Steve Jobs was, a nice person was definitely not one of them. And I think it really is a trend among big-league innovative people. So we know as a fact that being "nice" isn't a requirement to be extremely successful, but the question I have is: Is being a "douche" an advantage?
> the Internet Archive engaged in uncontrolled digital lending

I thought they partnered with library systems to only lend out 1:1 physical copies that weren't on publicly accessible shelves? If so, that definitely seems like it should be kosher.

But it's possible I am completely misinformed here.

Agreed that completely uncontrolled digital lending is literally just piracy. If advocates want that, they need to reform copyright law if for no other reason than so that publishers and authors know the rules of the game they're playing...

When I was a full time C# dev (after doing ruby for years), I found that ReSharper turbocharged my productivity to the point where I was faster with C# than I ever was with Ruby.

But credit to ASP.NET Web API being so solid too.

Now that I almost exclusively code in Elixir, I'd love to try F#.
How does this differ from something like DBeaver? Our QA Analysts (semi-manual testers) use that for making tweaks to our databases, both production and otherwise. Developers also use it because it is frequently easier than the command line when we do not know all the table and column names.

Is it basically a less intimidating version of that?

You can track changes and see comments as to why each change was made, that's really cool.
There is a certain class of computer programs that can best be described as a really big table. Basically, an input taken from a finite set, you get an output taken from a finite set. This type of program is really easy to write in Haskel because you can prove that both the conplete input set and output set are covered using the type system. In other words you can prove that you deal with every possible case (though you can't prove that you deal with every possible case correctly!!!), and that there is no ambiguity (one input has multiple correct outputs)
A good example of such a program is an insurance contract (or a derivitive contract in a bank)

Debate on climate is now much more interesting than whether or not climate change is real or caused by humans. Those things are pretty well established. Now people are debating what the appropriate actions are, and it's much more nuanced.

For example, we have the "eco-pragmatists" like Michael Shellenberger publishing "Apocalypse Never" that involves some really interesting interviews and points about how economic development can be more important for people living on the edge of the Amazon rainforest or alongside Virunga National Park in the Congo from the perspective of climate resilience. In other words, having modern electricity and infrastructure seems more likely to help people in these situations than rapid decarbonization, especially given our slow progress in decarbonization and that fact that the world today is still >80% fossil fueled.

He also suggested a merit order of fuels that went: biomass < coal < natural gas < nuclear. Moving from left to right is good, but moving from right to left is bad, he argues.

He published this with a pretty abrasive blog post featuring undersupported controversial points and basically got blacklisted and deplatformed by the major media outlets. Yes, he seems to have cherry-picked a bit to support his narrative, but that's something all authors do.

And we have the Michael Moore produced doco on Youtube (Planet of the Humans) that criticized the mainstream green energy narrative and also got temporarily deplatformed due to outcry.

I have found interesting insight in these people even though I've considered climate change one of the major challenges of our time for 20 years now. It's certainly interesting times.
they won't be equal because not all ubi income will be spent on consumption. it will stimulate consumption, however, which was the primary reasoning behind the op and that will lead to some form of inflation edit: inflation because based on the assumptions of the op, the supply side has stagnated and so there is less downward pressure on aggregate prices. the degree of that inflation is unclear and i'm not familiar with any empirical studies. either way inflation won't match one to one with the increase in income.

fwiw i noticed above you mentioned that there will be an increase in productivity, wellness etc. although i tend to agree with the wellness aspect (esp. compared to our current circumstances) the degree to which wellness would increase is also unclear. for some colinear studies, i'm thinking of finkelstein's work on medicaid expansion in oregon where they found exposure to medicaid increased reported well being of recipients.

and i don't think productivity increases under a ubi holds water on theoretical grounds.

you seem to be assuming large increases in productivity and wellness and other benefits and then asking if inflation will erode that, when we also need to consider that the possible benefits will themselves be attenuated, particularly for those already at lower incomes or those who will earn a ubi.

I mean, if you were just stealing content from actively-running magazines then yeah.

But if you pitched the idea to publishers with a cut-in then it may have sold.

Archival efforts are a huge lift—especially from print to digital. But current issues have operated that way on several platforms over time.

Ultimately Apple bought up the last major effort in that space (Next Issue/Texture) and merged/turned it into Apple News+.

There are others, like Pressreader, though: https://www.pressreader.com (edit: changed to plain url)

One of the magazines I work for took it upon themselves to render an archive of their print and digital issues dating back to the early 1900s. I think they plan to charge a fee at some point to access them, but they are currently available for free:

https://archive.macleans.ca/issues ("Browse All Issues" to see the range of decades available)

It was a very large undertaking—so based on the knowledge of that experience [in which I was not involved], there is probably a business in building a collective, or at least brand-specific, archive for magazines. I'm sure some businesses exist in that space already—but something more user-friendly and centralized access would probably have its base.

True, but if the fees are a lot less then the question remains if they're just not worth the hassle, or if there are other reasons why adoption in companies (that I have seen) has been slow.

Regardless, an organization like github should be able to handle this, if they wanted to.
Expensive is okay, we're talking about eradicating poverty, as first world nations we should be judged on how well we look after the most vulnerable in society, not on how wealthy the 1% can get.

US population is what, 300 million, ~75% of that are adults, multiplied by something like $35,000 is what, 8 trillion? The top 1% have a wealth of 35 trillion, US GDP is around 24 trillion - is it acceptable to spend 1/3rd of your GDP on eradicating poverty and creating a more equal society?

>>It only creates a monopoly for other's books.

That is far from "all it does", YouTube is a prime example of the suppression forces inherent in copy right law, and the amount of abuse that occurs chilling speech and public participation

>>You really should consider the other part of the equation. Authors need to eat.

No I really should not. That is not the goal nor desire of copyright law. profit is not the reason copyright was added as a constitutional power of the US Government nor should that be the metric for which we judge the effectiveness of copyright law

>. They can only eat if publishers pay them.

Again this is incorrect, and becomes more incorrect as time goes on. Through Copyright publishers act as gate keepers which prohibits new an innovative ways of funding creative works beyond the traditional copyright model

Copyright from its inception has had a questionable [1][2] history even when looked at from the creators point of view

> No "monopoly" means no paid authors

There is nothing further form the truth than a statement that absence copyright all creative work would cease. OpenSource software, Open Documentation Projects, and the huge amount of Free Culture works fly in the face of that statement.

Further it is provable and self evidently false that publishers and traditional publishing models are the only or even best method to fund creative works in the 21st century

What comment are you referring to? You should include a link so readers can make up their own minds, i.e. so they can see whether there might have been some other reason to downvote the comment. Generally a good, substantive comment explaining what's false in an article will get upvoted heavily. Sometimes, though, such a comment breaks the site guidelines at the same time as it includes correct information. That's particularly bad, because it actually discredits the truth: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

As another commenter mentioned, laser printers are preferable for documents precisely because of this kind of nonsense. They were already cheaper per page for document printing anyway, but the inkjet manufacturers appear determined to cannibalize their own primary market with these schemes.

That said, since developing a serious interest in photography, I've made the delightful discovery that per-page ink pricing schemes, such as HP's "Instant Ink", can be very effectively leveraged to make photo printing as close to free as it's possible to get, with the incremental cost per print being effectively just that of whatever paper you choose to use.

I've since moved up to a large-format inkjet for most of my prints, not least because I was hard up against the limit of what a general-purpose CMYK system can do, especially when it comes to contrast in monochrome images. But for small-format stuff that isn't quality-critical, the OfficeJet still works fine, and I'm still paying $3 a month for all the ink I can eat.
Something getting downvoted is different from a study presenting solid data not getting published. As far as I know there is no solid data refuting the consensus as described for example in the IPCC reports.

> Science is not advanced by eliminating everything that disagrees with the establishment.

That however has nothing to do with the news coverage. That coverage does a poor job or is even harmful to all the citizens if it falls prey to the manipulations of the political parties and corporations which are making simply wrong claims, using the paid actors.

And that's what is happening behind the "climate change denial."

The most current example of such manipulations, in something much more short-term than climate change, this is just not science:

And these surely aren't Galileos:

"No Evidence That Doctor Group in Viral Video Got Near COVID 'Front Lines'"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/07/28/stella-...

"Immanuel has asserted that many gynecological issues are the result of having sex with witches and demons (“succubi” and “incubi”) in dreams, a myth that dates back at least to the “Epic of Gilgamesh,” a Sumerian poem written more than 4,000 years ago. She falsely claims that issues such as endometriosis, infertility, miscarriages and STIs are “evil deposits from the spirit husband.”"

Likewise, the claims from the "climate change deniers" could be checked by the other scientists, and if they are rejected, it's not because of some conspiracy, but because there is typically no science there. It's just a bit more subtle to be shown to the "common people" than "sex with demons."

The science behind the climate change was developed through the last 150 years. Those that denied until quite recently denied what was already proven 150 years ago, then much later started to deny what was proven 100 years ago etc. That's not science. But boy were they supported politically, by the sponsors and by the news giving them "equal time."

"Galileo was not dismissed by the scientific experts of his day. His theories and discoveries were controversial, but he was generally acclaimed by scientific authorities. He was punished for contradicting the Church’s entrenched philosophical commitments."

His actual sentence: "suspected of" "having believed" "heresy" "that the sun is the center of the world" "contrary to the Holy and Divine Scriptures":

http://hti.osu.edu/sites/default/files/documents_in_the_case...

"We pronounce, judge, and declare, that you, the said Galileo . . . have rendered yourself vehemently suspected by this Holy Office of heresy, that is, of having believed
and held the doctrine (which is false and contrary to the Holy and Divine Scriptures) that the sun is the
center of the world, and that it does not move from east to west, and that the earth does move, and is not
the center of the world; also, that an opinion can be held and supported as probable, after it has been
declared and finally decreed contrary to the Holy Scripture".

UBI alone is not a solution, it needs to be accompanied with access to adequately funded education and affordable housing and healthcare. Education is the #1 driver of success, and at minimum a better commitment to education by the United States will pay back multiple times over. Additionally, what leads you to believe UBI will allow an individual enough to feed, clothe and house themselves? Sure, that's the "idea" but in this world you think that would become a reality? No way. UBI as implemented will be watered down and it's effect will be a net zero, triggering the conservatives to cry "see! it does not work!"

I just faced this - I was trying to write a somewhat complex MongoDB query and I decided it was finally time to read a book rather than just cutting-and-pasting from stack overflow until I stumbled across something that seemed to work.

So of course in our status meeting yesterday I had to say I hadn't accomplished anything. In the long-term it's good to have someone on the team who really understand MongoDB. In the short-term it looks like slacking off.

- Of course my conclusion after reading about MongoDB queries was to decide that I wanted as little as possible to do with MongoDB queries and am going to avoid them at all costs.
