$50? More like $2000-5000 to publish, then $50 to read one paper without a subscription (which itself is usually a multi-million dollar contract for Elsevier in the case of most US universities).

Robinhood is a particularly silly choice of name, because he was a figure of historical significance, continues to be a figure of cultural significance, and the name carries connotations about values, mission and impact with which practical

Talent is at least partly the ability and propensity to put in thousands of hours of dedicated work. People differ in complex, often stochastic, ways in their specific learned and genetic propensities to be good at things or motivated to do

But Wikipedia doesn't, and couldn't run from Greece. It runs from San Francisco, because that's where they can be the most efficient at getting the most billionaires to help. In San Fran employees would probably worrying abou

You cited one of few small ways the organisation is able to something back to wikipedians as the problem. Are you now pivoting to saying Wikipedia doesn't spend enough rewarding contributors, from having previously complained about ha

Not to me - as you can see from the sentence you quoted - but for the people being hired and in context of the other organisations that are offering them jobs. For the people running an organisation the size and importance of wikipedia? 6 f

What actually happens is that the organisation needs certain skills and networks and hires the right people to bring them in. The salaries are small compared to what the people getting them could get paid at other organisations. I know good

Wikipedia is good at running wikipedia. They produce something incredible. If you want to exercise moral control over people who do jobs you don't understand, by all means keep your money. But it's not helpful for you to encourage

by Blahah 6y ago
This is not helpful. Wikipedia is a community project, and managing that community takes a lot of the resources, obviously. The Internet Archive has proved itself so many times over, and is so underfunded, that it deserves all the money it

by Blahah 6y ago
It's not necessarily the right thing to do. If creators don't leave any trace, especially in a community where sharing freely and without credit is commonplace, one shouldn't impose one's own moral lens.

This is great for me, I've bought hundreds of audiobooks in my life and my family had a collection of hundreds when I was a child. The original collection was thrown away by movers many years ago and my collection went missing along wi

Yup, it's far too easy to hemorrhage money on cloud/hardware without actually achieving anything, and it's similarly easy to undervalue employee satisfaction, motivation, and loyalty.

Nery nice, although I'm yet to encounter a situation where I was using NetworkX for anything small enough to be rendered in d3, especially interactively (assuming SVG). What do people do with it that has such small graphs?

Passportjs is the standard across all these frameworks. It's modular by design, so you can easily compose the right auth system for your needs. I've always found it quite intuitive and I've never seen anything even nearly as

It's similar and they are interoperable, but Dendron runs inside VS Code.

This is fascinating. Don't suppose you'd be willing to share your dsl definitions, or can recommend any collections? Seems like a great layer to have in a modular knowledge system.

Check out Joplin, Dendron, Notable, BoostNote, Roam Research. For wiki style check out Agora: https://anagora.org/node/agora Honourable mention for Notational Velocity which pairs well as a lightweight quick interface

While it's fair, I think the world is a better place for having projects like Beaker. It's important because despite not having a business case, it's a groundbreaking exploration of what technology can be and a platform for
