What I meant was their job is to author such books. Not that they should be paid separately for them. Depending on the country academicians might be underpaid, but that's an issue on its own.

I guess furthering this thread is of no use so I will conclude my participation with a sincere invitation to reflect upon and reconsider your point on this particular situation. I understand your motives, but believe you've made a wro

That comment is making a deduction given the details of the business, and includes the commenters thoughts about it's future. WRT merely, when saying "they are merely adding a middle-man to probation", that's not redu

I believe people in academia are paid to write these books anyways, so they might as well not receive the royalties. As a prospective academic myself, I find it unethical.

I'm preparing for a master's thesis (and then a research career), my university's library is rather scarce. Local uni's with superb libraries like Bogazici and Koc only allow graduate students from other unis. W/o

I'm unable to spot the name calling you're referring to. The comment is on topic indisputably, and no reductionism is visible to me. You're being unjust to the commented. He's not uncivil at all too. It seems to me t

I'm profoundly shocked . I find it unacceptable that a government outsource something this ethically, legally and economically sensitive to a private business. I refrain from an ethical comment on the founders---even though the fact

Not really. Without oil the monarchies would struggle to survive. According to this article Qatar was just a poor city by the sea until oil was found: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/03/14/magazine/how-

And that goes to show that I haven't really understood them. I won't ask for an explanation because most probably I won't understand them anyways :)

I can't describe how shocking it is watching many HN commented blame a person killed by a machine and defend the thing instead. There are even those who are saying that such deaths are necessary and useful for the advancement of techn

The examples w3schools have are useful, and MDN has less of them. But maybe that's my subjective experience. Still, I've made lots of use from both of them, and looking past the first hit should not be that difficult, especially

Not really a waste of time if you have any news to share about your product. Not everything you post needs to be a great article, it can be an interesting feature you added or some details about a nontrivial change. If you have the blog a

I think you're asking about the part after the comma, so here is the part from the comment that started this thread that makes me think so: > Why? Because it's cleaner. It means there are no abandoned copies of my codebase sitt

Certainly. I---and some others, seemingly---was just saying that what Github does is not that much of an help (which is what seems to be meant at the thread root). The keyword is contractor here, as it should be the contract that protec

I do not want to believe Github allows to make a privately-forked repository public. Other than that, I agree that the link is better removed, but what I don't understand is how that helps with keeping the code itself private, which i

How reliant people are on Github is puzzling. If Github somehow failed one day, many businesses and OSS projects would just fail to operate. What surprises me is that software teams in companies use it too, when just sending commits/

I observe that people "fork" repositories (which is basically a cheap clone rather than a fork, bad terminology there) not for having a copy of their own to work on, but more like a glorified "like/+1/star". S

Seemingly this is nothing to do with the government, as controlling through the website of the insitution where there's a form to check if a given domain is blocked [1], it tells me that there are "no blocks on this domain",
