  • There are a bunch of field-specific preprint services like arXiv: PsyArXiv, SocARXIV, engrXiV, AgriXiv, etc. The OSF also hosts preprints for various disciplines.

    The important thing to remember is that preprints are not peer-reviewed and have not been vetted in any way. A paper may change a lot (or just a little) between preprint submission and final publication. A recent paper of mine had a few sections added for clarity, which wouldn’t appear in a preprint.


  • It doesn’t really do anything other than (potentially) verify someone or an organization really is who they say they are. It probably matters most for well-known folks or orgs that you need to know are real. One example is how confused people are about Mark Hamill, who did move over to Bsky, because there are so many impersonators.

    Another example is the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. I can verify they are who they say (and trust their posts, hilarious or not) because they’ve used their gov site to verify their account.







  • I think you’re talking about “at-will” employment, which allows the employer or employee to terminate employment for no reason at any time. Only Montana doesn’t have that (unfortunately for the rest of us), and employers must show good cause for termination after a set probationary period. “Right-to-work” means that you can’t be required to join a union or pay fair share fees as a requirement of employment. 26 states have this on the books.

    I live in a state with both laws, and it sucks as much as you’d imagine… (mainly because it’s fairly indicative of other issues throughout the state).
