That particular argument also falls flat, at least with the given information, since there have been plenty of industry partners in defining the USB specs. My guess is that if you want to be paid full-time to work on USB, you'll probab

Many ads simply generate awareness: "Need a plumber in $TOWN? Call $TOWN Plumbers at 555-1212." Others simply advocate for a cause: "Vote Yes on $TOWN Proposition #4!" Ads like those above do add cognitive burden, but th

As a sibling says, it is probably better to improve citation and culture around the importance of datasets. As an experimentalist, I really want people to make use of my measurements, but I really don't want to be a co-author on a pa
