I went to Google Scholar and googled for articles from the top journal this year, picked a random article, the entire text is available. https://en.x-mol.com/paper/article/1429645420640583680 I know that is a sing

It sounds like to me to advance this debate, people could provide examples of journals that are regularly cited and their papers aren't easily accessible in some way.

I work in the social sciences where we have lots of overlap with other social sciences, stats, and data science, machine learning. Those are the domains I know and in those domains anyone born after 1970 knows that if they want to distribut

It's hard to overstate how tired the entire argument is. Doctorow feels like tweetstorms are an acceptable means of getting communication across (yikes), so maybe some things are just unbridgable. HN sounds like cranks about this. In

I feel like you are providing an example. I came to this thread to read a thread about videogame stories. Imagine my surprise (wait, this is HN), when the first thing that I see is your comment about videogames that isn't really about

It's very hit or miss. I have a Vive from 2016. I purchased the Q2 with the intent of doing dev work with it and I expected it to be a big improvement. I mean I read reviews like yours and I saw what it was capable of. Don't get m

I know Vince Gilligan did his research prior to Breaking Bad but st strikes me how on the nose it was. BB came out in 2008 and must have been in production a few years earlier but the increase in actual purity pretty much matches the show c

I don't want to say of course it is, but of course it is. It's an environment full of smart and hungry and competitive people. There are politics, yes, but you can damn well choose to avoid them, especially if you offer value. Nob

I have worked in academia. I can't think of a single prof like that in my department. They exist, but that's not why people choose to spend decades of their life in poor paying jobs.

Kyrie Irving - flat-earther, anti-vaxxer. To some people both are ridiculous positions. Conspiracy thoerists tend to groupp together and tend to pick up additional beliefs

There was a secret military installation. The conspiracy was that they were doing creepy deepy stuff there, only a fraction of which was true. But conspiracy theorists count that as a win.

Why do you use biased language? Yes, there were lots of people in the media that dealt with Epstein. Epstein's arrest was public in what 2008 or 2009, you could find information about it on wikipedia in 2015. Now there have been multi

Do you really expect useful discussion when you say stuff like this? Normal academia isn't like that.

What evidence suggests that the entire party is being investigated? Who is hiding that?

This is gross. It's gross because you're right, there are a lot of things that politcians get a pass on. That's not okay. But you are making ridiculous absurd statements. No, not everyone in the other part is getting investig

He was removed when he wouldn't just give up power like a normal loser, but he sure as hell prodded them for 4 years and it sure as hell got him elected.

Thanks for the feedback, I knew there was more to it bu it's interesting that's a later interpretation (presumably the didn't imagine the executive would have so much power). The point I was making with the theorist stuff is

No reason to see it like this, it's not helpful and I'd argue is probably just wrong. I get depressed (I take SSRIs, too) because we live in 2021 and I see people taking advantage of each other on a daily basis, killing each other

Censorship is government action. Private companies that allow you to reach millions of people are offering you the ability to use their service. It's not censorship when they don't allow you to use their service (and until today,

Really devalues the meaning of censorship. Social media platforms broadcasting your views around the world and moderating some of them was not censorship.

What's going to actually convince people? I don't think it's six months of watching YT videos. Is that one extra video really going to change things? It seems more like blind contrarianism.

Interesting that he notes Wallace there. Wallace was a lonely dude. I still really admire the things he said about leadership and his fiction is truly unique....loneliness is a theme throughout. I think I related to him partially because of

It is unconstitutional in the sense that the Constitution is a practical document that has the main purpose of establishing a United States. The laws that make federalism unworkable ended up being unconstitutional over time because the SC h

What's the alternative? I'll tell you scientists are dying for good information (probably really are). IN a lot of authoritarian countries it does not exist, for obvious reasons. Freedom House, yeah, it has an agenda, but at the e

It'll get worse. This is a YC site so it's a dick thing to say but look at every YC company that got big. They might start out with nice ideas and bloviate a lot about bullshit (Reddit still has the tagline about staying for empat
