I'm not spouting anything as proof of anything. Just demonstrating as a matter of record that culturally this battle has been waged before.

Hi I'm one of the founders of Litmaps. We set out to build this tool after frustration with the state of current academic search software. This was specifically from the painful literature review process of my co-founder during his PhD.

Our first attempt to solve this was with a "map of all science" (from 1400-today, 100M+ articles, 1B citations), which we did build but it didn't end up solving the problem that well. We re-approached the problem by pairing a time-based citation visualization, with helpful search tools, and project (or map) state. Our visualization lets you quickly see how search results relate to each other (optionally with nodes sized by citation count). We currently have keyword search, and a network search (called Explore) that scans for highly connected articles up to two degrees away from your map(s) and/or keyword searches. Lastly the project state is nice because as you build up key articles, network search is more targeted, and you can opt into email updates if there are any newly published works that connect to your map as we update our dataset.

It's currently in early access so it's free to use, and you don't need to create an account to get started. You can dive right in and start finding relevant articles to what you are working on or are interested in. Keen to hear feedback on our work so far. Thanks.

Blockchains aren't companies, scrip isn't a thing anymore, DeFi renders it interoperable even if it were, we all have smartphones and internet now, webapps and networks change the entire marketplace for information labor, no part of this suggests that the company offering the civic services would be an employer or the only employer, company towns were for in-person work, et c.

Even if you just focus on the idea that a company town had a single employer for in-person work, and now we work online for anyone via the internet, this doesn't even have the basic parallels.

I did a short (6 month) contract remotely a couple years ago. Parts of it were nice, and and I could see enjoying working a few days out of the week remote (although I'd prefer a shorter work day or work week tbh) I didn't care for fully remote. I rarely have reason to leave the apartment and it was just kinda depressing being stuck inside my apartment all day

It's not clear what's going on with GDPR, good test cases are only now starting to be tested. But the fact that many American newspapers, for example, are blocked in Europe is certainly something to worry about.

For your info: Hacker news is:

  - an Internet platform
  - that organizes and promotes large amounts of posts
  - which are copyright-protected works uploaded by their users 
  - in order to make a profit as it is an advertisement for y combinator.

So hacker news needs a filter lest you quote a sentence from some movie.

What is 'meant' is irrelevant. Important is the letter of the law. Besides, 'meant' is a very dangerous word when used by politicians as jaded as the EU folks. It is a way to whitewash unpopular laws, and make them look reasonable when they are in fact the complete opposite.

I'm not a Trump supporter and don't know a lot about the protocol here, but I've watched the video. Acosta and the President go back and forth several times with the journalist trying to ask (another?) question and Trump saying that's enough. Presumably it's not the journalist's microphone. Is it really wrong or surprising in itself that an uncooperative participant in a shared conversation would have the community microphone taken away? I'd be glad to hear why taking the microphone in this context is truly unusual.

The ban is pretty BS, although I find the journalist's "karate chop" in the undoctored video a tad more aggressive than supporters ever describe it. To his credit he does also say "pardon me."
