Science@mander.xyz•Fake papers are contaminating the world’s scientific literature, fueling a corrupt industry and slowing legitimate lifesaving medical research.
1·10 months agoMight want to crosspost to !scicomm@mander.xyz, just to inject some life into that community.
They spoiled:
- red kale
- fermented fruit juice
- fermented strawberry jam
- pumpkin jam
- sourdough
but it’s unclear which led to possible benefits. With jams I would just scoop out the unexpected organisms and eat the rest. Maybe that’s not even necessary.

Science Communication@mander.xyz•When a researcher and publisher withholds information then ignores requests -- what’s the recourse? How can science have integrity?
2·1 year agoThey could try to say that but I doubt people would believe it.
Who throws away their own code particularly when it’s not junky commercial code but code their heart and soul was behind on a non-profit project? I keep my old code around if anything just to be able to search it to re-teach myself coding and design tips I forgot about. This code backs their research which they may need to refer to when a prospective employer asks for detail on how they executed the study.

1·1 year agoah, I’ve seen that before… i recall the violence measurements. Glad to have a copy of that.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We would like to thank Kelly Idouchi, Manya Sleeper, James T. Graves, and Celine Berger for their contributions to this project. Similarly, we thank Chris Hoofnagle, Daniel Solove, and the attendees of the 2014 Privacy Law Scholars Conference (PLSC) for valuable feedback on an earlier version of this work.
(edit) there is also this about page and perhaps this lab was involved.

5·1 year agoOh, wow… I wasn’t expecting that reply. I was actually looking to discuss in general how to address this variety of issue. It was a few years ago but the code would still be interesting to see. I dug this up:
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2911988
And now that I dug back into this, I must make a correction. ACM replied to say they are looking for the missing material… then they never found it and they dropped the ball at that point and also neglected correct the description. AFAIK, ACM did not try to reach the researchers, who ignored my inquiries.
(Irrelevant trivia: ACM used to be in Cloudflare’s access-restricted walled garden, making it difficult to access research. They are still in that shitty place but at least they are now whitelisting Tor which slightly reduces their exclusivity.)

2·1 year agoYes, if it’s not too big.
If you want to host it somewhere, https://drop.infini.fr can handle PDFs.


Indeed. We also have to consider that it has become popular¹ to boycott the US over Trump’s tariffs and US support for Israel. These boycotts would discourage the use of US tech giants, in principle.
