As I point out in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35657036 the costs of having employees that "write emails" scales linearly with the number of submissions that are eligible for peer review, not with the numb

Yea, that's not a good model. Better publishers have publishing managers, internal employees assigned to work with editors to get this done. From https://www.mdpi.com/editors "MDPI is headquartered in Basel, Switz

Like I said in the very beginning, "I am deeply biased", which means that I have deeply considered this possibility, and I have heard many, many academics. This thread is a replay of something that has happened multiple times alre

For a high-prestige journal, you get 50 submissions per 1 published article. Let's reject 80% of them right off the bat from the editorial desk. We now have twenty articles left to properly peer review. I had originally said 15, so let

Most publishers do not have this process automated, I assure you. Even so, the theory that an automated process requires no maintenance does not hold water.

Nothing. Nice gotcha, bro. I never said reviewers get paid. I mean the internal machinery that needs to get 15 articles reviewed costs money - employees that search lists of potential reviewers for people with expertise in the relevant subf

I work for an academic publisher, so I’m deeply biased, but I’ll say this: criticism usually consists of something like “it doesn’t cost $6300 to publish one article”, and that’s true, but, it does cost that much to receive 15 articles for

Could you clarify why one might assume that Russia is politically unstable without this article? The same man has been in power in one way or another for the last 23 years.

I’m talking about the snide remarks towards InstankInk throughout the article. The GP says that because the author prints 10 pages a year it’s a bad deal. I’m arguing that InstantInk is a great deal for someone that prints 10 pages a year.

There’s a $1/month subscription. You get 10 pages a month. The author would pay $12/year for 10 pages per year, without the cost of the cartridge. You need 20 years before you reach the cost of a $240 cartridge. The cartridge woul

Same here, except I print way less, so I’m on a dollar per month sub, and just pay for overages sometimes. I think instant ink is a better product in terms of money saved, especially when you account for the risk of cartridges drying out. N

I’m usually on the other side of this. I regularly request that people spend 3x the time it would take something to prove to me that it’s a good idea, so maybe let me offer you some perspective - the outside view, if you will. The primary j

Nothing. HN in general has gotten into a negative space where anything that is vaguely associated with tech and gets popular gets a massive amount of criticism here. To put it more bluntly, there’s a lot of haters here.

You have to decouple “programming in a language I love” from “earning money to support my newborn.” It sounds like you have a strong desire (requirement, even?) that your job has to provide both. It’s a common desire, but in my experience i
