(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11614926 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11614926) which I'm guessing is the precursor to this debacle.
Reading what Elsevier have to say, you'd think they're either completely delusional (I doubt so), or know full well that they're rapidly becoming irrelevant/abhorred and are adopting a bully position, all the while pretending to be innocent and blameless victims of this situation.
Don't count on me to shed a tear when Elsevier go under.
- grownseed 10y agoJust saw Elsevier retweeted this: "Science is better and more accurate when it's inclusive." (https://twitter.com/ElsevierConnect/status/728215525868875780 https://twitter.com/ElsevierConnect/status/72821552586887578...) I realize this is about gender, but I can't help but feel a bit of irony in there...
- nickpsecurity 10y agoGreat observation. They're calling their own BS indirectly. Whoever is involved in SciHub with strong presence on social media should immediately start using that quote to push SciHub. :)
