From my outsider perspective I mostly agree, I've read a few papers that weren't available for free. But for the opposing perspective, consider that they index curated content and don't curate anything themselves. This is a f

The term wage-slave doesn't appear to be in your lexicon. Child labor, too. Never mind slavery was officially abolished only half a century after the industrial evolution had started, which didn't even count for e.g. India. Never

The thing with leafy greens is, they rot faster, they need to be reasonably fresh. I know because last week I had to clean up a brown puddle of ooze coming out of a stored grocery bag. The salad was rotten within a week while the fruit stil

PS: of course you can't switch before the game maker reveals a box. But isn't that immaterial? In one of three cases, your first choice is correct. Therefore, in two of three cases, the first choice is incorrect ... so switching s

I still doubt the Monty Hall problem (mentioned in the wiki-article). I understand the reasoning, summing the probability tree, but there are two ways to build the probability tree, with the step of reveal or without. Since the player doesn

It's hard to abandon the old idea, when the new idea, I mean, it's there, everywhere and nowhere at the same time, if you don't look, isn't particularly convincing, and the retort that it doesn't need to be convinci

Coloring is not the domain of typesetting, just as coloring, inking and, indeed, lettering in comics are different disciplines. On another note, typographic layout is often concerned with long texts, take TeX for example, but that's no

I'm still assuming that gold has intrinsic technical value, only not directly to everyone, obviously. In the same vain, I guess the blockchain must have some inherent value, it's data after all, the gold of this century, and data

This is no surprise when you have people think like that about other humans. In what dimension do you measure hight of thought? I guess on the one hand this could be linked to the architecture of the brain, directly translating to some topo

Different sources might use different time codes. Anyway, inflammation likely attacks all kinds of sensors and perhaps nerves directly, so the signal is noisy, and the high frequency constituents very unstable. Whereas functioning receptor

Hate is a pretty strong word and kind of irrational. Textselection was probably not intended as reading aid, so don't be disappointed if it is abused to actually, you know, select text to do something with it. I agree, user scripts can

Wikipedia is, by my estimate, to 90% about animals, places, historic places, historic animals, historic people, "notable" living people, and so on. How's that going to be relevant on mars? And who's going to vet all the

It's too much low quality data. If you yourself agree that you neither contribute nor can find valuable data, do Facebook a favor and leave. They probably have enough vacation and family reporting to not need anymore of that. They are
