There are a lot of journals with their own editorial boards and these mass-resignations happen somewhat regularly. My guess is that usually some people on the board will first want to decide to get away and then figure out where to move to (eg find some other publisher that is more preferable / get some funding from somewhere for a cheaper to run journal[1]) and then maybe also figure out a plan for the new journal to have a good start (eg with some good papers ready from people who are less constrained by journal impact metrics). So these things tend to take a long time to happen and aren’t really precipitated by EU rule changes.

[1] In mathematics there is the concept of an ‘arxiv overlay journal’ which is an example of something cheap to run: you have a website and editors and forewords and suchlike but each issue is, in some sense, a list of links to specific versions of papers on the arxiv.
Consider you are another researcher (not the one who has just published).

You may want to keep up to date with your field. This is good to do and it helps foster new ideas for now and for future proposals. There will be a selection of journals that are relevant to you and they will publish work that, generally, will be tiered by either the scope or impact of the journal. Journal A publishes a lot of papers you find very insightful or useful, journal B publishes some work that is good to know but not profound. If you have maybe 20 minutes, maybe you will read one paper that catches your eye from Journal A.

The truest metric of how good the work you do is, at a surface level, is how well cited it is. How much do people read it, and then do they care once they put it down. It is not necessarily the case that putting your paper in a high impact journal gets a lot of citations, but its a lot of exposure and it maximises those chances.
So is this post saying anything?
Handsets I think start to be there. Even for reasonable prices, not for the cheapest, but reasonably priced ones.

But they still charge extra and lot of it here for the contract...
I don't know for sure, but I think that some of their customers are universities, and possibly governments and large enterprises, who subscribe to large swaths of their offerings as bundles.
I used to be in a similar situation. It hurts because I really do want to help people. Often, you're not helping, but merely building co-dependence, or otherwise teaching them to rely on people. (ie, you, or you next enabler.) Pure sympathy really ends up not being the best way to help people. Setting boundaries, and tough love often go much further to actually changing behaviors.
I’m still a bit salty that BusyCal and Fantastical moved to subscription, models, and failed to do any further innovation.
You’ve pretty much nailed it. I anticipate you’ll be downvoted for it.

Academic research (one of the big complainers about the cost) could fix this easily - stop rewarding scientists for publishing in those journals!

Pick other, less expensive, prestigious enough journals, and academics will publish in those.

But the system can’t be broken easily. The prestige of many journals has been developed over decades or in some cases centuries. Saying “my paper got published in the same journal that published the first structure of DNA” buys a lot of street cred.

There is a level of snobbery to have published in top journals. The ones that got to their position publishing in those journals, aren’t going to be happy being told “those journals aren’t really much better than an open source journal”.

So the system continues - scientists keep reviewing papers for these journals, libraries pay the fees, and scientists send their papers there. Nobody has the balls (understandably) to step outside because their personal career will suffer.

When people want Elsevier to drop their fees, they just want the current system in place (exclusive, prestigious journals) but not have to pay for it.

Luckily there is an existing ecosystem of USB-C accessories. Many provide both USB-C and lightning versions.

Apple are dragging their feet because one form of Apple tax is going away.
I get that.

But I've always struggled to believe that revenue from licencing or direct sales of Lightning connectors is that big a deal to Apple. I think their insistence on using their own connector is more about product differentiation and lock-in than about revenue and performance.
I'm neither a fan of drug glorification nor FUD. The link is from someone who took lots of different substances very irresponsibily,

First of all, I have read 1984, and I wouldn't take issue with the analogy if I hadn't. Whether you have read any other books, I cannot say.

Second, you say Orwell isn't a linguist, and language just happens, but then you explicitly reference his fictional account of a prescribed language. Clearly, Esperanto is a prescribed language. So prescribed languages do exist, and political forces can shape languages, you just don't think that happens with English. Well I do. People reference so-called "descriptive" dictionaries and grammars, yet don't those texts themselves inherently acquire a prescriptive force, insofar as they originate at elite institutions like Oxford and Cambridge and UChicago? Just as Dante's works acquired a prescriptive force for the Italian that was once highly regional, but needed standardization to support the nation-state.

I think descriptivism is an incredibly naive position to take when talking about modern languages that have agglomerated for explicit social, political, and economic projects, and I think that was Orwell's point.

Similar to David Foster Wallace's essay on English, we can either naively push the descriptivist line, or we can accept that "the powers that be" do indeed shape our language, and try to have our own voices heard, for what English ought to be.

So we can rail against the Newspeak that some editor on Wikipedia is supposedly forcing on us. We can say it's literally 1984. It's ungood! And we can happily return to talking about grokking and gatekeeping and unaliving, and undocumented immigrants, and unhoused people, and utilizing the new library, believing these words are good because they happened and that they happened because they're good.
No, what I am saying is that proper reviews are expensive, and that cost should be made explicit. How that should be done, I don't know. Giving prestige to reviews is difficult, given that reviews are anonymous. Personally, I feel reviews should be public and non-anonymous, just like the paper is. If the argument against this is that scientists are so petty that they will hold a negative review against you, well. Even more reason to make everything public, because why would you then trust petty scientists to do proper reviews?
You need some kind of ranking. Anyone who have tried to write a scientific paper know how much junk there is being published through the "pay to publish" channels and it will just get worse with the technical development of chatGPT. Journals with high prestige tend to work as a barrier for junk.

Then you're doing it wrong. I have never bought a dongle in my life, but I _have_ replaced cables with ??? to USB-C variants.

- Micro USB to USB-C

- HDMI to USB-C

- DisplayPort to USB-C

- Mini USB to USB-C (that was tough to find!)

Literally everything plugs into my laptop natively without a dongle.
It's not just readers who pay. Scientists also have to pay some journals to get their work published (assuming the submission went through) which is totally backwards. Scientists do not get anything monetary from what the readers pay. Now look at other publishing industries. It's the publishers that pay the creators (even if the rates may seem unfair at times, it is still far far better than negative gain for scientific research content creators). Been there multiple times back when I was a PhD student. So I have absolutely nothing against those who use the free sites.
The problem with this is that memory management across subsystem boundaries is very difficult.
A prime example of how it's better to not have anything than to do it badly. I wonder how many parents mistakenly thought setting this was all that was needed to keep their kids safe online. Possibly persuaded (knowingly or unknowingly) by said kids.

It's hard for me to tell where is the 5G tower, but the LTE one is on the condo block across the street. EDIT: I think they're co-located.

I guess it just depends on what is the infrastructure around you and how close is it.
The far more elegant original version is from Heinrich Böll (1972 Nobel laureate in literature) and is entitled: "Anekdote zur Senkung der Arbeitsmoral", published in English as "Anecdote Concerning the Lowering of Productivity" (but literally translated: "Anecdote on Lowering the Work Ethic"). See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anekdote_zur_Senkung_der_Arbei...
The app uses an alternative way of displaying Hacker News comment tree. Advantages over traditional interfaces:

- You always see the parent of the comment you're currently reading

- Comment width doesn't get narrower no matter how deep in the tree you are

- You can easily skip subtrees that don't interest you by scrolling

- Swiping allows you to move in and out of subtrees with animated transitions that you fully control

It all works together to help you maintain context and keep track of where you are in the discussion tree. There are also: custom boards, search, in-thread search, anchors, reading list, recent items.
I don' think you understand a lot of what you write. Microplastics are largely inert and most of them are much much bigger than your immunity cells. If they could somehow 'attack' it, they wouldn't be able to consume it (and if they could nothing would change, just like ink in tattoos remains in cca same place even after immune cells consume it).

What would happen during 'attack' is rather a clot forming, not very good ie in your bloodstream. Kind of pearls forming randomly in your body, but the seed would be a piece of plastic instead of a grain of sand, and it would be just your dead immunity cells around it. The chance of getting rid of it gets much smaller. Now why would you want something like that.
The remedy to pain and agony is opium not modern medicine. Stretching out the lives of workers is an economic imperative not a humanistic one. Our fear of suffering and death makes us easy to manipulate.

> Except that the most successful companies have paid close attention to negative externalities. Ford Motors shortened the work week and paid workers a high wage ...

The length of the work week and worker wages are not external to the Ford motor company. Paying for cancer treatments for people who live near roads, and to reduce the noise pollution from cars in cities would be examples of remediating externalities.
How do you handle situation when you want to use your phone while charging it? Then you need to hold it together with charging pad which must not move otherwise your charging speed will drop significantly, which is synonymous to have it connected to the charger, but with much finicky "connector"
Same thing is observed with about 0.2 V and cpu overcloking... Suddenly there is a performance drop.

German 'ch' in ich is a fricative, like sh in fish. or the chute in parachute.

Swisscom, for quite some time now, includes roaming in EU countries and the UK with unlimited calling and SMS and 40GB highspeed Internet per month.

Ironically, calling a friend in Paris from Prague is free, while calling from Zurich is 70 cents a minute.

My sister, who lives in Vienna, is shocked about our subscription prices (ca 70 EUR a month, unlimited everything and EU roaming as described above) while I'm more surprised by costs she incurs while visiting.

To me the deal is fine. It may not be the cheapest but I never incur any additional costs.

Even globally you get 100MB free internet with your subscription per month and can buy additional packages for about 20EUR per GB, which I don't think is unreasonable.

Other carriers are more on a rip off spree. While SALT intices customers with cheap subscription offers they may hit you very badly with internet roaming costs. Until very recently they didn't even allow to set a limit.
I've done a fair amount of LSD, over years. I'm in my mid-40s, and it hasn't been all that long.

I've never had this. My partner - the person I've done it with the most - hasn't either. Nor have I known anyone.

That said, it isn't like I think this person is lying, but that it is something rare, as the article admits to at the end.

I'm not really trying to make you less scared - you do you, and don't do a drug you don't want to do - but trying to give some perspective.

The leadership myth in replicated databases
Then make this thing standard for everyone, whatever, just ensure there is one standard. This of course requires cooperation from the industry.

P.s. I'm not actually advocating for making this standard, USB C has too much momentum and I don't think any Linux based device I use knows this other connector.
Even within the apple ecosystem those things are annoying and a waste of space. I can charge my laptop you can charge an iPad from USBC but phones and AirPods need lightning when the port is basically the same size. So I have to carry an extra cable everywhere.

Ridiculous. I’ll take throwing them all in a landfill if I never have to use or see one again.
One of the main reasons I'm still on twitter is because of how you can mute certain topics/words and accounts. Extensively using that has turned twitter into a source of learning and knowledge for me. I have also used uBlock to block the trending sidebar.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! Not sure if this was a recent feature/trigger in shortcut automations.

Will update the article soon with this addition.
If they are truly open, it'll get bridged to the Fediverse the way people started bridging to Twitter (but were shut down because Twitter doesn't want to be open), and anything good about the protocols will be adopted whole or on part and subsumed.

Which to me makes it just stupid of them to start from scratch rather than starting with interop with the Fediverse and optionally making breaking changes and/or bridging themselves.

E.g. the ability to migrate data more easily is great, but also easily accommodated by a combination of adding a new URI scheme and provide rewriting proxies to federate with ActivityPub instances that don't support it.

It feels like a lot of NIH and desire to be in control that I feel are at odds with building an open ecosystem.
If they wanted to minimize waste they would have contributed to developing USB-C, which would have been in the pipeline when they were working on Lightning. Or failing that, making Lightning an open standard that other gadget makers could adopt. But that doesn't make as much money as vendor lock-in.
I remember to being slightly confused when there used to be www.fi as a webportal.

Yudkowsky may have talked about artificial consciousnesses at various points, but that's not even close to a critical issue for why he's a doomer.

The TLDR quote I have of his fear is: “The AI does not hate you, nor does it love you, but you are made out of atoms which it can use for something else.” - https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/499238-the-ai-does-not-hate...
None of these things are being migrated
Absolutely. It is also the job of management to put processes in place to have effective security and to require audits.

The fact the CEO accepts no responsibility and blames a mistake made by IT is worrying and he should not be allowed to hold management positions again.
>Why do so many commenters on HN always sound so confident,

It's because the outsider's mental model of "academic journals publishing" is dominated by seeing the artifacts of publishing: the pdf files.

With pdf files then driving the intuition about "what I think the publishing industry is", it makes people conclude that Elsevier is just a "glorified pdf server". (E.g. Scihub can host a bunch of pdf files for free... so academic journals hosting pdf files are not doing anything value-added.)

And then to add to the pdf mental model, you have the repeated comments about unpaid volunteer peer reviewers. So the outsiders' intuition follows the same path, if the peer reviewers cost the journal nothing, there is no need for paid academic journals to exist. (E.g. a site like Stackoverflow has unpaid volunteers answering questions and users of that site don't have to pay any subscriptions.)

A more accurate mental model looks beyond the "pdf files" and considers how journals also have paid employees to support the journals. E.g.: https://relx.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/ElsevierJobs/?q=editor

If one over-simplifies academic journals to "a bunch of pdf files by unpaid peer reviewers" -- then one will always be confused as to why scientists keep submitting their papers to them and why libraries keep paying for subscriptions.

The real issue is journals like Elsevier charge too much money.
I guess it is the equivalent of the Facebook problem. You are on Facebook because all your family is and no one leaves for a new platform because no one else is using that. Except it is worse here and instead of just missing out on updates/photos, it directly affects your livelihood.
I'd think there were two ways to produce this.

The first would be to not disclose the dose. If you don't know the dose, you might just assume it is a low dose and you aren't getting effects. This is especially easy to pull off since a lot of folks know about microdosing - which usually has the goal of not-too-much-hallucination.

Second, you can get folks new to LSD in combination with the above.

I'd think that the issue with giving another drug is that we wouldn't know how that drug is going to affect the outcome. You still need the baseline of sober folks to compare to, and given them a fake dose means that the ones that will have the placebo effect, will.
Ask HN: Why isn't RDF more popular on HN?
revisiting this question 9yrs later: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7491925

Very curious how people are thinking about RDF/semantic technologies these days after the initial question was posed. With "Artificial Hallucinations" running rampant in the ChatGPT world, a call for more moderated/structured data may be a possible prescription which is where RDF/ST shines. While relational/no-sql continue to dominate our industry, I'm very surprised that a graphdb hasn't emerged to compete with the former given how incredibly flexible graphs are in our space.

Any good research going on with RDF/ST to call out here?
> no standard scheduled system like a cronjob

Personal automations are pretty close. I use them to run shortcuts at specific times.

If you wanted to run a Shortcut hourly from, say, 7 am to 7 pm, you could manually create those 13 automations or maybe you could use Jellycuts to create one and then cut-and-paste it to make the other 12.

Edit: I just searched for it and here’s an article that talks about a cron-like Shortcut:

https://www.joshholtz.com/blog/2021/06/23/automating-ios-sho...

I haven’t looked at it so I have no way of knowing if it works or if there’s an easier way to do it now (that article is two years old).
The majority of people in the world (EU included) have a different phone than iPhone.

Also, bit unrelated to bring up the UK (or your UK-situation) with all of this, the submission is about a EU regulation. But you seem to already get that. However:

> Apple will no doubt consider it easier to supply EU compliant iPhones in the UK, for which I can't really blame them, but I'll gladly shake my fist at Brussels over it.

Aren't Apple the ones you should bitch about instead? EU forces Apple to act within EU regulation in the EU-zone, and Apple might just follow EU regulation in the UK because it's easier, and then you blame the EU?
The models behind the projects are also open source: https://py.contrails.org/

I wished there was some sort of prequel to Silicon Valley, e.g. the Aviato story.
first, sometimes there are publication fees on the author end.

on the buyer end, university libraries buy huge bundles of journal subscriptions for millions per year to give access to everyone at their institution. this is essentially enterprise sales and the publishers are really good at it using all the typical tactics for winning lucrative contracts.

and the universities don't want to just tell their researchers to use sci-hub, although I think e.g. UC Berkeley essentially did this with a nudge and a wink a few years ago during negotiations.
If you want nomadic identity, a tiny tweak to expect ActivityPub instances to support a distributed content addressable URI scheme (optionally via proxies) is almost all that is needed, so if there turns out to be a lot of demand for it, it'll get added.
