Sci-hub is so good. I’m a professional robotics engineer working on open source robotics funded by philanthropy. I don’t have extra money to pay extortion fees to information brokers. That’s a wild concept when the internet serves data effectively for free and all I want to do is help people all over the world grow organic vegetables with automation. Sci-hub gives me access to research done by other people like me who want other people to see their work. I stand on the shoulders of giants. We absolutely must dismantle the systems that keep human beings from valuable knowledge. Our future depends on it.

Sci hub is so good. Im a university partner and have accesses to a top research uni's library. I use Sci hun because logging into Elsevier is a massive PIA.

  The scary part is that sci hub is in danger! It's been under massive legal attack in a few jurisdictions, and as far as I know, has stopped scraping. Many, many papers from after 2021 that are not available. It has become a major issue, cutting me off at times from new results important to my work or study. It's kind of a scary time now, and I feel the strong need to regroup and find a way to get sci-hub back to scraping. We have to imagine there are millions of people being cut off from millions of people-years of research for every year this embargo continues. It's crucial that we bring it back up! Anyhow, thanks for being a sci-hub user and endorser! I love it when my peers in academia use it!

That reminds me I've been meaning to offer a contribution to your farming robot! For ease of interoperability, I'd like to build a one way automation that occasionally exports your OnShape design into your GitHub. That makes it easy for users to throw parts into a CAM editor or slicer, without having any on-shape experience. Have you thought about the automation, and would you like to discuss your concerns, needs, and like-to-haves?

  Hi this sounds great! I would like some kind of YAML that would let me decide how different pieces would be exported. Also note that soon I will be doing massive clean up in the onshape repo as it is a huge mess, and we are moving towards release. Please email me at my email in my profile. Would love to discuss further. Thank you!
