It does seem right if you consider that OA has become the primary way to suck in public/foundation money through APCs.

Yup, that’s why we’re trying out a model with zero APCs. Still some way to go but I’m hopeful it can help!

Vous direz bien ce que vous voudrez, pour moi, Rocard, c'est la dernière fois qu'on a eu un gouvernement créatif et courageux en France.

Pas mal, mais à mon humble avis trop mou sur le PACS, et très mauvais sur la mise en place des 35h. Ça devait être en échange de...
l'allongement de la durée de cotisation. Aussi, Rocard est passé très près du revenu de vie!

That doesn't sound like a fair thing to say about what is clearly phrased as a (IMHO viable) hypothesis. @AthenaAktipis
Which is demonstrably false. Plenty of STDs have other pathways. @CT_Bergstrom @AthenaAktipis
And even were that the case, one's promiscuous drive could still measurably increase. @CT_Bergstrom @AthenaAktipis
Blood. In utero. IIRC for HPV it can happen pretty easily.
That depends on which behaviour can be more readily influenced. It seems easier to prod twds sex than blood transfusion :-)

Le problème de Rocard, c'était que dans les années 80 il était trop en avance sur le PS.
Notre problème, c'est qu'il l'est toujours.
The choice that @w3c had was between EME usable by all or EME that just reinforced the...
monopolistic advantage of Google, Netflix, etc. Everything except is distraction.
Claiming this is off mission is completely failing to understand the dynamics at play.
Unless the mission is to do nothing about the problem apart from ranting on Twitter.
Ça fait des années que c'est mon principal plaisir quand je dois en fréquenter. Presque je lirais l'Équipe pour ça.
I am simply responding to your statements. Can you cite someone other than @w3c who did something about EME?
I right there at W3C trying to work out a solution when it happened. Also see berjon.com/yummy-drm/.

EME is a necessary evil; DRM could be fought if people stopped barking at the wrong target.

Is there an HTTP code to express a no-op? This is a valid request, but it caused nothing to happen (eg. you’ve re-PUT what we already had).
♥ 2↺ 1
But that doesn’t really express a no-op. Also consider the case of a POST that in effect ends up doing nothing.
That was just a short example, I’m indeed more interested in a POST case that does nothing.
Well, it matters to this API which is why I’m wondering if there’s a code :)
Yay HTTP!
Yeah, that was my reading too — asking just in case I missed something. I’ll just document it, thanks!
Yeah, it could be used for that by convention, but it’s does not have that generic meaning.

I think the real question is how you get from here to that crushing defeat. It's not simple. @benadida
Yes, but that's not all. I think one key is here: medium.com/@Chris_arnade/… @benadida
Is this cssnano? That really needs to be run with the safe flag on, otherwise it's chaos. @tabatkins
That transform doesn’t apply under safe, right? If so, I think that’s the most important part. @briankardell @tabatkins
If you read down the thread, I think you will find that the answer is that there is no answer :)
No, I’ve just given up and documented it as such. Bon courage!

I'm curious: what do you want in terms of error reporting? I wonder how much we could get from CSS.
Oh sure, there is no question that error reporting in LaTeX is abysmal — and probably can’t be fixed due to the language.
My question is more: HTML+CSS are getting pretty good at typesetting, and are declarative. What error reporting would you expect?
It might be that none is needed; but maybe there are interesting features that could be added there. Cc @dauwhe
So you are thinking of a purely semantic/structural system that can then be typeset? @dauwhe
Right, but in that case they should have zero access to typesetting, no? @dauwhe
Ah, but start exposing bold and the next thing you know people are doing section titles just with bolded paragraphs :) @dauwhe

I found Kuhn a bit simplistic, would be interested to hear your opinion. Maybe PolSci for that topic? @LeonieWatson

Relationship with the new regime? And the guy is basically a dictator.
He does indeed have some popular support. But at what point are elections not enough? Eg. free press?

That's just "For Dummies", I don't think it's the same idea :-) @dauwhe
It sounds very sweet, with dark, brooding potential.

In quite a few cases that would turn them from funny to mean, though.
I have no care as to where I fall on the old/young divide, I am happily both. @dauwhe
I also find a honeyed old-fashion feel to «Subject for Poets» which I find more conducive to that specific evocation. @dauwhe
it doesn't have to be infiltration, it can be disgruntlement, or a Republican who hates Trump. Gotta be a few.
Haha! Excellent point — but it only moves the issue to finding an intro to statistics with the same properties :)
Gee, yeah, I don’t believe anyone can be so naïve to think that would not get caught.

L’effet épidémique est connu, eg theguardian.com/media/2015/aug….
Il existe des règles pour décrire les suicides afin d’éviter l’imitation — il faudrait faire de même pour le terrorisme.
As always it depends on what you want to decentralise. Lookup? Edition? Verification? All of the above?
Well, it depends on whether you just want to improve access/preservation, or revolutionise botanical governance :)
If it does work for suicide, it may well be simply through not reporting the method. IIRC about 1/25th of attempts work.
Not disagreeing with the potential value of research in terrorism epidemiology, just expressing caution on the suicide angle.
Not long ago I saw an article here about an epidemiological study of the 2005 French riots, but I can’t find it anew. Any pointers?

Actually, I would (scientifically) dispute that. Science is a belief system, just with better ethics.
See last citation in research.science.ai/science-by-any…. Or Feyerabend's "Against Method" (or just his Wikipedia page).
Well, it's hard not to believe in gravity -- just drop something :-) @marcysutton @aardrian @AmeliasBrain
But any theory of gravity any of us might believe in is almost certainly imperfect at best. @marcysutton @aardrian @AmeliasBrain
Feyerabend challenged (credibly I would say) that there is such a thing as *the* scientific method. @AmeliasBrain
This does not make science weaker. It helps us understand what actually makes it better than alternatives. @AmeliasBrain
In other words, it's being scientific about science :-) @AmeliasBrain
