As it stands, they don't get paid when you pay for reading it anyways. They themselves pay to publish it to a journal, the journal then sells it to you.

The scientists aren't paid by people reading their science, they are paid by grants, for doing the science in the first place.

I wholeheartedly support academic "piracy", it only hurts the gatekeepers.

How many hoops did you have to jump through to land at that comparison?

Oh wow, yeah that's not that simple. Although using the banks as a tool in that is honestly pretty scary.

I'm not familiar with this, I would love to see counter arguments instead of silent down votes.

I went the other way. I liked the simplicity, and thought what about MORE simplicity? I went to i3 and haven't really looked back yet.

Right, that wasn't the right word there, but you get what I mean.

I hope you interpret "to death" as an euphemism in that case hah

The bible seems to consider it murder only if it's another christian.

[if someone] has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, [...] you shall stone that man or woman to death with stones.

-Deuteronomy 17:2-5

If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or the wife you embrace or your friend who is as your own soul entices you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ [...] you shall kill him. Your hand shall be first against him to put him to death.

-Deuteronomy 13:6-10

right! also, if she's just a normal person, how did she become that impossible 73 yards thing?

It was great, the reveal leaves a bunch of loose ends though. I wonder if that is by design, it might pop up in the next season.
