The fact that Sci-Hub is not a legal alternative is not a reason not to mention them. The existence of Sci-Hub is very relevant to what the article discusses.

The benefit to reviewing is that it's frowned upon to publish in a conference/journal if you don't review for them. So academics are not just motivated by a "sense of duty": if they don't accept to review then

Keep in mind that this article is published by Nature Publishing Group, which is a closed-access publisher just like Elsevier. Hence, they have an incentive to give readers the impression that it's a big deal for a university to cancel

As for "peer review", this has no cost: reviewers are not paid.

The problem is that the vast majority of established researchers do not care that the system is broken. Why work against the system once you're at the top? Most of them haven't ever thought about it, and the ones who know usually

There are plenty of conferences and journals with curation (peer review) which are free for readers and free or almost free for authors. For computer science, see, e.g., http://pierre.senellart.com/travaux/open-access&#

Contrary to what the post says, I usually have the same experience filing bug reports on Debian: most of the time no one replies. However, even though I no longer really expect anyone to react, I still think it's useful to report bugs.

The best way to encourage shops to accept cash, and generally encourage countries to stick with cash, is to use cash whenever possible.

Amusingly, I don't think the summary in the article or article title correctly summarizes the legalese. What is forbidden seems to be to "publish or provide" benchmark results. So let's I boot my machine with the new mic

The cookie warnings are about refusing cookies, which is something that is completely up to the Web browser. Specifically, Web browsers could warn when a website sets a cookie and ask for user consent before storing it (and if the user does

Is it so easy for GPG to buffer the cleartext while validating the MDC? As the cleartext may not fit in RAM, this means that GPG could need to write it to a temporary file, right? But then, if decryption is aborted messily (e.g., the machin

I disagree with these points. 1) Essentially no one knows about the author-izer system or understands how it works, especially outside academia. Readers in companies, poorer countries, etc., can't be expected to guess that the way to r
