It’s a sad world

I like the gesture

Elsevier? The company that makes money from public funded research? The one that does basically nothing and earns tons of money on the back of tax payers and free labor of authors, reviewers and editors.

Hopefully open access policies will bring an end to the exploitative business model of science “publisher”.

Productivity at Burger King will skyrocket with this innovation /s

Wild take, given that Instagram is often the cause for the self-harm tendencies of teenagers.

Honestly I don’t understand why this platforms exist in their form. We know that they are responsible for the suicide of teenagers. How much worse can it get?

Europe is big enough to have its own software. And the next generation of software should be open source - enough with monopoles

This private courts are a problem. They are very one sided for the benefit of mega corporations.

Kind of sad. Teens have a higher rate of suicide because of the evil algorithms of social media and we as a society do basically nothing about it. I’m readings news about it since years and absolutely nothing changes. Why are we not forbiddening it? How much worse can it get??

Thanks! How does it work? Can I influence it?

Every country should do this.

I would be afraid to be send back or detained. The situation is a bit unclear for travelers.

Same for ACM. I think it’s good as it’s easier to read. But sometimes I still write names (e.g. as Mueller et al. points out, the color blue is actually red [666]), to highlight something. But that’s maybe for 5 out of 100 sources.

The company is still worth over 100 billions. They do something right.

Otherwise I agree with you. It’s almost hilarious to see fail after fail (as long as you are not in the plane).
