This sounds very similar to my experience as well. Memory and mental visualization are very fuzzy. Like a camera with a dirty lens and very narrow focus. I can't even imagine my wife or children's faces clearly. I can pictu

This looks the exact same as every other project management tool out there. What differentiates this? Project Management is an incredibly crowded space.

Which one? As with all things, there is a lot of variation. There will always be good places and bad. The question is whether they are better on average.

Ownership in the sense of governance, not of property. Worker cooperatives are organizations that are governed by their workers for their workers, not owned as property to be traded or sold.

But the employees don't own a controlling share. For it to be a worker cooperative it really needs to be entirely owned and governed by the people working there.

Because labor is calling the shots and reaping the benefits, not the capital investors.

The hard part about starting worker owned co-ops is financing. We need good financing systems for them. People/firms who are willing to give loans for a reasonable interest, but on the scale of equity investment in tech start ups.

I think part of the issue is disagreement about what "harmony and compassion" actually looks like. One of the sibling comments immediately jumped to the assumption you're referring to veganism and the use of animals in the fo

This looks... Interesting and also weirdly suspicious. It's "made by Backbone". Backbone appears to be an enterprise security startup (?) but it's unclear because the website tells you almost nothing about the companie

No, it's not. This was against contemporary morality in the society in which it was done as well.

There are nearly 50,000 commercial journals and a long tail of non-commercial journals each with teams of editors. There are probably hundreds of thousands of people currently serving as editors. The issue isn't editorial bandwidth, i

No worries. I was really writing for an audience of academics and, in particular, people involved in the various open science and publication reform movements. Sharing here was a bit of an after thought, so it wasn't written for an a

Hi! Author here. Preprint review as it is being discussed here is post-publication. The preprint is shared first, and review layered on top of it later. Click through to the paper[1] I'm responding to and give it a read. But, also, pre

Nice catch! I was going from the data shared in that paper[1] and didn't notice that it excluded OpenReview.net (which I'm aware of). The paper got their data[2, 3] from Sciety and it looks like OpenReview isn't included in

This article leaves me with a lot of questions. The article implies the use of armor dropped because it became more expensive to create armor that could resist firearms and armies grew too big to be fully equipped with it. But he shows tha

The whole article is about how DOL mostly doesn't go to bat for people. Of $50 bil in wage theft, DOL recovered ~$3 bil.

One of the clearest illustrations of the deeply injust structural power imbalance at the heart of our economic system is wage theft. If your employer withholds $20 from your paycheck it's a civil violation of contract law. You have to

The state is democratic, not absolute. When the state implements policies like this it is acting as a democratic expression of the community's will. We as a community are saying "We're not going to allow individuals within ou

You don't need incentives for high earners to continue working. 1) We can afford for them to stop working. Really, it's okay. People can just chill. We're more than efficient enough for it. 2) People don't need moneta

Adding this to my reading list. I've thought for years that we should place at hard cap on wealth somewhere around $10 or $15 million. Because that's the point at which you have enough wealth to live a comfortably middle class li

It doesn't have to. The point isn't a perfect society, the point is to prevent resource hoarding and the accumulation of totalitarian power. When we allow wealth to accumulate we are also allowing power to accumulate.

Many (most?) people don't need novelty to want to keep working. Many people find fulfillment and enjoyment in the routine of their work. Think about it, how many people are cheerfully running shops because the shop is also their commu
