Crowd worship is failing again. That flame could be a logo for Firefox , or the map of a US state. Mozilla should stick to monsters.

Why stop there, implant it directly into the reader's brain.

I love those old Berners-Lee screenshots to remember how good it looked right from the onset. We have added some footnotes since then.

Add to that , journalists may get fired but dont go to jail for spreading lies.

Also , ease of access. If newspapers did not publish online, people would OCR and pirate their articles.

Someone had to do it. What a delightful clickbait subject to remind people that you exist.

Perhaps you live in the future, for the rest of us who don't receive benefits its not a privilege but a necessity. We are not "contributing to society" because we are overzealous altruists, its quid-pro-quo.

I think you are trying to say (in a misguided way) that wage stagnation has severely affected millenials, which is absolutely true. With enough short-term distractions like phones, games, weed, porn etc, who needs long-term goals? Life is s

If it's depression that causes demotivation how will "going nonprofit" be more motivating? I think you need to fix the depression issue first.

You can always choose a slow life, somewhere in the country with a few chicken. At least your idleness is not burdening others that way.

You are correct , and i indeed did not complete my thinking. If we can't avoid over-publishing, then at least publishing should be open and fast as long as it's technically correct. Personally i find high-IF journals to be a very

You are referring to the academic microcosm, but the OP said that scientists act so because "the wider public" voted for them to do so. It's true that the insiders of the academic bubble are living the tragedy of their common

Why don't people see Thiel as SV's insurance ? If (atheist-god forbid) trump wins, you have an enthusiastic supporter and firm SV believer by his side (who also happens to be gay) to contain the wild beast. Would you rather have

I 'm with the parent in this one. The journal situation is ridiculous. Scientists have complete control over it - the uber-vast majority of voters know nothing about journals. And it's also ridiculously easy for each and every sci

How much power does the president of us as a person wield? The us has numerous powerful institutions and checks and balances. Thats probably why many people dismiss the fear of authoritarianism.

Feeling of safety? I m richer than my siblings who have kids because i was more driven. If i dont have own kids, nieces will inherit, however that's not my main motivation.

> but in business as well I think business is more ruthless. It won't let you waste too much time in a false belief that your product or science will become successful. That leads to faster iteration.

Same experience - i did my phd after building my business, which allowed me to be an academic "tourist". Academia is largely a bureaucratic job, with short breaks in which you do research. Just the amount of time spent on formatti

I am defending myself against you basically call me offensive. I said nothing about yourself. It is not a form of personal attack just because you name it so.

Making arguments for and against things is one of the joys of discourse. There is nothing in my comment (even remotely) referring to you. Instead you are the one basically blaming me of being a bigot. I might be wrong, but you also seem to

Even in the software world, at least the product "basically" works. In this case even the basic product didnt work.

I'm talking about factually fake. Hiding some truth is distinct from telling a lie.

They are very rarely "actual fake news", but usually untruths presented in a way that is impossible to falsify. At least to my experience. Perhaps you could cite a news item that survives but is proved to not have happeend.
