Yes, but this is very poor compared to how precise you can get with email filters. I use git to version 1000-line Sieve filter to route incoming mail, I couldn't do the same with texts (thankfully they are still much more rare than ema

It's interesting if Mozilla is running their own speech recognition system. I wonder whether it would actually be usable in practice... The problem is, I couldn't find any kind of online demo.

Thanks a lot for bothering to explain the problem. I have never seen this in my field (theoretical computer science), so I wasn't really aware of the problem. (More accurately: reviewers may ask why you do not compare yourself to arXiv

Don't forget the two other pieces of advice: using centralized services like Twist or Basecamp, which I suspect want you to use their own specific crappy user interface, or writing a "process-centric" email, whatever that may

Assuming the BIOS/UEFI has an option for it... my laptop doesn't seem to have one (and there are no updates to fix the bug either...).

Speaking as a Wikipedia "volunteer" (or rather "editor"), I think it is in fact a very good idea that the Foundation takes no editorial responsibilities (except reacting to legal challenges via so-called "office act

It is fine that children are different. The problem is when parents and society start assuming that it is correlated to gender, and start treating kids (and adults) differently based on their gender, no matter their individual personality.

I agree with what you say, but I do not understand why it is related to my comment. I was trying to say that refusing to publish in closed-access journals is hard, but refusing to review for them is easy.

Oops, right. I thought the parent comment referred to "double dipping" for hybrid journals (those that have both open-access and closed-access articles): where research institutes pay once for "open-access article processing

In my field (theoretical CS), I have never heard about a journal refusing papers from authors that have declined to review for the journal. In fact I would consider this extremely shady: journals shouldn't handle papers differently dep

I have heard this argument and I don't think it's valid. We are stuck in a broken system where researchers are pressured to publish in closed-access venues. It's hard to act against this at the publication level, because you
