Great! How did you manage the different feeds? I did something similar for my field but its a nightmare since some journals violate the rss, or dump metadata in the feed (my shameless plug is http://sciboards.com )

That sounds reasonable, although, shouldnt at this stage airbnb be earning a profit?

> the reason for this is that the aesthetic works as a costly signalling mechanism. I suspect these materials are mass-produced and thus much cheaper than having a wholly authentic (but probably very expensive and risky) design.

The difference is, these architectures grew inside a culture without external influences, and reached some maturity before being imported and remixed by others.

There is no lack of efforts to get scientists discussing (shameless related plug http://sciboards.com ), but unfortunately there is a disincentive for scientists to do so (politics).

Agreed , only important studies are worth replicating, the problem is that no major journal will publish a replication. Journals in general push for novelty rather than quality here. b) can be a problem with meta-analyses and reviews. When

We don't need to 'define repetition', we need to foster a culture that a) accepts repetition and b) does not accept something for a fact just because it's in a journal. Right now, (a) is not even acceptable; nobody will

We now have the tools to do it , and we should be doing it. The fate of scientific findings is not to publish papers, they belong to open and continuous scrutiny. And someone should build a github of scientific facts.

This profession is probably the only one that automates itself. It has always been like that for developers, yet they 're still in high demand.

Look Dubai is all for the biggest and largest, so if they are getting serious about surveillance, you can bet they ll want to boast about it. Also of note is that dubai is ~85% immigrants, which i think it the object of their surveillance.

You are not making a case against skeuomorphism, but against icons in general. We either must resort to using words, or standardized pictograms like road signs.

It's about the bad and false arguments in the article, such as painting him as a nostalgic warmonger. I don't like Thiel either, but not for these reasons.

I get it, the author was very irritated that Thiel spoke for trump, so he wrote a really bad article full of personal attacks, misinformation, belittling comparisons etc. Why did the NYtimes publish this garbage ?

I think its more nuanced than you make it to be. To me the message is "improve people's lives rather than disrupting them"
