This is all a little too cagey for anyone else to understand. It sounds like you got snubbed by someone at EFF at a time when they were somewhat distracted by arguably the largest geopolitical event the internet may ever have experienced.

Because it's clear there isn't a lot of expertise in this thread, I'd like to make clear that nobody should be doing the cinnamon challenge based on these results, or the results of the authors' previous study on the top

I have no idea why this is on HN. In any case, he's absolutely right. It's not overgeneralization when everyone sees it day-in and day-out in every major American city. This article simply seems to be shocked that anyone would

Everything is snake oil and an end-run. It sounds to me like you're conceding the argument. I don't disagree with your sentiments about the quality of review, but manufacturing an outlet to completely sidestep peer review (the k

Onarbor is publishing and funding in one platform Great pitch, but it's still just an attempt to end-run the funding process. There should indeed be systematic solutions to the current problems, but this attempt is just a recipe for

No. NSF, NIH, DARPA, NASA, and private foundations all have review systems in place to evaluate proposals. You can quibble with how they're evaluated or who precisely is writing the review, but they're all generally evaluated by

I don't get it. Are you just trying to get money from people who aren't qualified to critique your work? Publish in PLOS One if you really want to get something out.

I think the issue really is XP and the 20 year old compiler. It would be insecure to compile on an unpatched OS, and my guess is that they've been unable to get it to work satisfactorily in an updated compiler. Simple as that?

I didn't say he's automatically incorrect, and I think if you reread my comment, that should be clear. I do think a person's subjective judgement on serious issues are relevant to their subjective judgement on any one issue.

i don't totally disagree with the article, but it's probably worth pointing out that this guy is apparently a "proud homophobe." great. one might question his judgement after reading this drivel. http://blog

This is a false choice, born of deception. Comcast's allocations are not zero sum between upgrading and user fees. They're taking record profits every quarter, and customer fees are higher than they've ever been. They are

Sounds great... eventually. But in the short term, there absolutely needs to be a community response to this policy. It will begin to affect everyone far sooner than a complete overhaul of last-mile net infrastructure.
