- mbreese 15y agoFrom the "manifesto": Several years ago I came into possession, through rather boring and lawful means, of a large collection of JSTOR documents.
- Andrew_Quentin 15y agoYet he does not mention what the boring and lawful means are. Perhaps he is too bussy of a man to spend his time educating us.
- nullc 15y agoNo, just not stupid enough to write the oppositions briefs for them. But really, you don't need to be a genius to obtain large collections of scientific papers. Many people have them— its a prerequisite for doing meta-analysis for example. The distinction here is making them available to the general public.
- iterationx 15y agoI had considered releasing this collection anonymously, but others pointed out that the obviously overzealous prosecutors of Aaron Swartz would probably accuse him of it and add it to their growing list of ridiculous charges. This didn't sit well with my conscience, and I generally believe that anything worth doing is worth attaching your name to. I'm interested in hearing about any enjoyable discoveries or even useful applications which come of this archive. - ---- Greg Maxwell - July 20th 2011 gmaxwell@gmail.com Bitcoin: 14csFEJHk3SYbkBmajyJ3ktpsd2TmwDEBb
- slowpoke 15y agoI truly think you are a brave person for doing this under your real name. I most likely couldn't do that. Godspeed, good sir.
- huhtenberg 15y agoThat was a quote from manifesto.
