Why does the advantage necessarily have to be personal? Why can't it be communal? Though I don't fancy myself as capable to make significant contributions to FOSS projects, I do use and promote them (though, if I'm honest, HN

I believe this to be one of the primary causes of stagnation of innovation by larger companies. The bottom line on the balance sheet _now_ is more important than long-term viability. It's a bit depressing, honestly. A myopic focus on t

it's understood that research builds upon past research which is documented and cited. i think that accomplishes the majority of what you're saying, albeit more tersely.

not sure why i got downvoted on this. instead of being a helpful post, the parent posted a deriding no true scotsman fallacy.

thanks for posting this. i wrote a paper on porcine endogenous retro-viruses and their effects back in the late 90s for a basic biology class. these methods, and accompanying concerns, have been around for a while.

the whole teach-a-man-to-fish thing is a nice saying that really helps with things outside of the jurisdiction of macroeconomics. at its core, it makes more sense to me to interpret it from the one lending aid than the one being aided. in o
