Happened in Feb 2019 to a story on telegra.ph archived by me. It was scary first, then I asked the archive.org webmaster and I understood that it was a telegra.ph link, not because of the content. Now the archived link works OK. https:&#x

The newer coment is one hour after the older one. I made it after I was downvoted. As for the spammy self-promotion, thank you, I linked to a HN comment (made yesterday, relevant to the matter but with no reactions at that moment) instead o

Somebody starts a site for collecting "scholar dropouts"? An article qualifies as a scholar dropout if: - it was previously available on Google Scholar - it cannot be retrieved, or the search on Google Scholar gives a misleadin

Is this recent? In my case I noticed it yesterday.

Yesterday I noticed that Google Scholar forgot one of my articles from 2018, on arXiv. See: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=arXiv%3A1811.04960 Google Scholar is not the same as Google Search, which can still find it h

This lack of care is amazing. On one side there is a majority of people who react with oh, there's so much worthless stuff shared and consumed every day. On the other side there are people who realize that there is so much valuable inf

Curiously, I don't remember Google or Facebook ads saying: "join us! we shall delete or hide your data. remember we are a private company, not a public forum" back then when they were not rich.

Zuboff theory that Google and alike live from the metadata exhaust, not from the data itself, explains the lack of respect for the valuable data contributed by the users. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/j

"Sci-Hub started by accident, there was no Big Plan behind it. After a couple of months, users asked to add some option to donate and help the project." These are the signs of a really great project. Much needed.

Academic managers force you. Your older colleagues force you because they are part of the game. However, it is possible to work in academia and not to bend. Anyway, make your research available, no matter where you choose to publish it. Tak

G+ had a nerdier audience and many interesting communities and posts. I don't get this ghost town line. For example HN is a niche site, with almost no audience, with almost all accounts dead. Right?
