Stop It. Google Won't Buy Twitter.
- yhvh 16y agoCould someone make all scientific journals free to read, I'm super fucked off stealing access through various student friends accounts.
- yhvh 16y agoI definitely value the fact that approving the content of journals is a costly business, it's just a frustration of mine. I apologise for the tone.
- mayank 16y agoIt's a costly business for the people doing the actual reviewing, ie the scholars who essentially work for free. Academic publishing is, I hope, the next industry to be reformed by open access web archives, although I'll be the first to admit that it's a long way away. So I think it's perfectly fine for you to be "fucked off".
- carbocation 16y agoDespite accepting basically everything that is valid science (typically a much lower bar than is required to publish in most journals), PLOS One has had a consistently increasing impact factor. In other words, the open access approach is getting some respect from scientists who produce the original material.
- alextp 16y agoOne of the best things about working in machine learning and natural language processing is that the best conference and journal archives are already open access ( books.nips.cc , usually ICML publishes the papers online, there's the ACL anthology, JMLR and JAIR are fully open access, etc).
- sahaj 16y agogoogle may eventually buy twitter, but they'll wait for the valuation to drop. twitter is an awesome technology, but i'm not sure how well and how long someone can monetize it.

- mayank 16y agoI stopped reading here, when numbers started being pulled out of orifices: > Out of those 200,000 followers, you’d easily get 10,000 to pay $1 to get the premium app to stay “in the first circle of friends” of their idol
- aberkowitz 16y agoFailure of similar idea - Diggnation used to have a tiered system - subscribe and get everything early, don't subscribe and wait a day or two. This worked until someone thoughtfully [and illegally] created a mirror that provided subscriber time access to non subscribers. I believe that Diggnation no longer has a subscription service.
