To put some context on this: Ars Technica is republishing this under the full cooperation of Stack Exchange in a capacity that goes beyond simply obeying the letter of the CC-BY-SA license on the content. When it first started a couple of years ago, the agreement (as it was explained to us) was basically Ars Technica gets new content in areas they don't normally have good coverage in (in this case, workplace issues for programmers) while Stack Exchange otensibly gets more exposure. The actual content creators (question askers and answerers) are not compensated in any way beyond the normal SE gamification features that kick in when a question becomes popular on the network. I don't know if Ars Technica now decides on their own what questions to feature, but when the partnership started, Stack Exchange itself was actually deciding which questions to feature. N.B. SE also had a Lifehacker content-sharing agreement a couple of years back[1], but I don't know if that's still going on.
