Antarctica has a rail line along the entire coast line? That’s fancy, to bad it has no stations though, probably you just hop on while the train is going.

No they don’t get anything, but they are not allowed to share PDFs. They are allowed to share a link to a webviewer, even via social media. Preprints are also allowed.

Ah thanks for the info.

Oh boy, just wanted to get into it. Damn sad, not of course understandable, the developers are only humans as well

I’m rather certain that a good chunk has no clue about any algorithms and just beliefs that their point of view reflects reality

If somebody would ask for a source it would already be a big improvement. Usually you are just classified as idiot if you dare to have a different view.

It’s called selection bias…

“Mama, when does Papa comes back?”, “sorry, that loser left is weeks ago”, “ey… I can still hear you!”

A colleague of mine just went to cern to “test some new stuff”… Now the gman shows up… I hope my colleague didn’t forget his crowbar

Indeed, particularly women in that industry are getting fucked.

I’m practically 40 and that guy looks older than my dad

Yeah, I got a couple of review requests of papers in fields I had absolutely no clue about. After declining the fivth I felt the need to press accept and spent the next weeks trying to get into that topic and write at least something useful. That moment I learned were all those BS reviews come from, which I usually get for my papers XD

What I want to write versus what my phone wants to write…

That is a patent, not a copyright. If you sell you car, you don’t have it anymore. If somebody steals your car, you don’t have it anymore. What I’m on about is the difference between material and intellectual goods. You can read it up, if your school didn’t cover it.

Of course I’m really not a fan of whatever they do and I would never buy an Ubisoft game for at least a decade now, but I still think that a lot of people should don’t know what buying means and that they never, ever bought (and hence owned) a game or movie. Those are not material goods like a car, which you can physically transfer from one person to another. Those are intellectual goods, and ownership here means you own all rights for it, which usually only the publisher has. What you buy online or in a shop is mere a license to watch/play/use/whatever and a medium with the associated data (like a DVD).

Therefore “piracy” had never been theft (or robbery, as it is called so nicely on German news). It is a license violation. Just that doesn’t sound as demonizing as the publisher want it to sound.

You do know what cats do with whatever that dot points on, right?

“vital Organs” of a demon???

That is the entire second row about
