They’re definitely sequiturs, maybe not to the issues you want to discuss. You seem focused on how much academia is a meritocracy. There is an important and different question of how diverse and accessible academia is. For example certain

I would just recommend everyone read the actually research instead of the journalism.

To teach a class or two on the side, they absolutely would. For full time options, there is a title “professor of the practice” which might not need a PhD but it’s a bit rare.

I wonder how much electricity Twitter is saving by running the scripts on their users' machines instead...

But would the code really work without the type checking?

My concern is that "peer review" is a wide term, it would be kind of like calling a startup Web Browser or Network Engineering. Too much confusion.

I agree the most with this take. We (the United States) can teach math much better at all levels than we are currently doing. I would rather try that than give up.

I’m working on a proof of concept for replacing passwords with public/private key authentication. Inspired by how ssh and got repo access are both more secure AND easier to use than password login. The interesting parts are convenience

I would call it something more specific than peer review.

Quick suggestion from a researcher: people will only want to submit if there’s an editorial team with high trust and reputation for their specific area. Automated reviewer matching won’t be good enough to find decent reviewers. I would sugg

Nice. I used them in a poll creator. You create a poll and the app generates a QR code for you to display. People can use the QR code to go to the poll's site and vote. This python package makes it super easy: https://pypi.o

In my experience, yes, essentially all self-reporting. They might do something like automatically conflict your email address domain (*.mit.edu), which is fun when random unrelated people sign up with gmail addresses.

The opposite issue also - conflicts of interest can automatically disqualify reviewers, and if you are conflicted with all of microsoft research, or all of google research, etc., then the number of qualified reviewers shrinks dramatically.

Oof @ many of these answers. The reason is that there are multiple "models" of the natural numbers that satisfy the axioms, and the statement is true in the usual model that we all know, but in some other models the statement is f

I don’t have a business degree and yeah, I think I comprehend what was written, but before reading it I wouldn’t have guessed at much of it, a lot of my intuition or assumptions would have been wrong. More generally, sure, you never “need”

This does seem like a strange level of handholding, even if the motivation makes lots of sense. If you start going down the road of protecting people who don't sanitize user input, you may have quite a long journey ahead...

I'm not sure in the digital world what the difference is. I would think of Akamai or Comcast as a distributor, maybe.

You seem to be thinking of author, not publisher. Lots of publishers publish material they didn’t write themselves, they’re still publishers when they do that.

If the last paragraph is your perspective on being a pawn in an academic structure, I would love to hear what you think of being a pawn in a corporation.
