Ouch.

Weird. This is with the official Twitter app (6.0.0) on my phone (LG G3, Android 6.0) http://imgur.com/gIzAY50

Your source also says: "Climate Change isn't about the environment. It's about money and control, and the same is true with the anti-gun movement as well."

This should allow you to understand it is a really bad source. I guess that starting from that, it is easy to prove that the numbers you cite are wrong.

All in all, isn't it obvious that only gun-free zones is a better solution that only gun-allowed zones?

I clicked much more than one time (just to see the animation).

"The new Alpine railroad (NLFA) will cost 300M CHF less than planned, because the digging and concreting of the Gothard tunnel have cost less than expected.

The final bill is expected to be between 23 and 23.5 billions CHF instead of 24 millions CHF."

Valve's position reminds me of Hatred disappearance/reappearance http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/dec/17/hatred-gam...

In either case, it is in my opinion difficult to determine if this is good or bad PR, and if this is good or bad in terms of morals. However, more tendency towards provocation might bring the answer.

Osamu Tezuka, author of Jungle Emperor Leo, was a huge fan of Disney's work, and he was his main influence. Personally, I love to see this as a tribute rather than as plagiarism. And I'm saddened every time this story pops up, especially when it's framed like that.

Just found a discussion on that topic on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110357/board/thread/235177489 I hope that the discussion in this actual thread is not going to end like that :-)

About the possible flaws in the reviewing process, the open-access publisher Frontiers (recently acquired by the Nature Publishing Group) proposes to reveal the names of the reviewers once the paper has been accepted, since they take part in the writing process:

"Frontiers is striving to remove any bias from the review process and acknowledge the reviewers for the significant contributions in improving the paper. To guarantee the most transparent and objective reviews, the identities of review editors remain anonymous during the review period. Only in case an article is accepted do their names appear on the published manuscript, without exceptions. However, if for any reasons a review editor withdraws during any stage of the review process, his/her name will not be disclosed." [Source : http://www.frontiersin.org/Design/pdf/ReviewGuidelines.pdf]

I wasn't implying that the publishers but the reviewers were getting public money for that. Having spent around 12 hours between Sunday and Monday to write a single review for a journal paper, I must say that I am pretty surprised that this system has been working until now… The scientists are united in making their reviews, while someone on top is getting so much money for it (this catches up with your argument). I can't help myself considering us as naive people.

What is your point? Can you expand, please.

Of course they see a dime: they receive public money. Elsevier are such geniuses: public money paid papers need to be paid a second time, and still, they remain unavailable for the public who has paid for it (twice). Rich geniuses.

That's the option I use, daily.

It is sad that what you say has nothing to do with the article linked, which has interesting content for science as a whole---not just R.

Instead of being positive and considering the community, you just bring a negative and unrelated message (that silly "airplane anecdote"). So yes, sad.

Brin's reaction is hilarious... and scary at the same time. I never imagined that these people could have so much contempt toward their employees.

This is so funny: non-conspiracy posts in this thread are currently being downvoted.

Thus I feel the need to comment your post: Frontiers recognised the scientific value of this paper, but had to retract it because of persons like you, that only know censoring the others when it comes to discuss ideas. Science cannot go forward with that kind of attitude.

Seems so. By the way, it looks like some of them have found this thread.

Looks like someone deleted number 3.

More than a million: two years ago, Double Fine crowdfunding project revolutionised video game industry and revived a genre long-time abandoned by major companies: adventure games https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doublefine/double-fine-...

It is the best known proof that it works, that people can be heard when someone is ready to listen them. And they will give money for that.

And this, this will probably never happen in Spain.

Edit: > million (reason for this answer).

Congratulations James & Henri! I'm very happy that my lab has been financially contributing to your work for nearly a year :-)

Anyway, I'm currently writing my thesis and I've had to stop using your product. The dropbox sync is lame (I know that the problem is on their side) and working on three different computers (usually two at the same time) is a problem. But in case of collective writing, then shareLaTeX is the most useful tool. Thank you for that and for your move!

Bad start.
