>Poor review practices in journals are not limited to the humanities and social sciences.
to what extent? surely it's significantly less than that of math and "hard sciences"
>I would also suggest that making it through a Ph.D. program in the humanities is incredibly grueling
working in a sweatshop is grueling work. when you're in a factory for 12 hours a day what's being worked is your obedience, your self-control. not necessarily strength or intelligence.
There may be disagreement about whether the effort needed to hold a job is “minimal”; but usually,in lower-to-middle-level jobs, whatever effort is required is merely that of OBEDIENCE. You sit or stand where you are told to sit or stand and do what you are told to do in the way you are told to do it.
The only requirements are a moderate amount of intelligence and, most of all, simple OBEDIENCE.
here is an interesting website to take a look at that i stumbled on last year: notabug.io . there are like a handful of people that use it.
last i checked there are some complaints about the voting system, which is PoW-based, and there were people hardware accelerating that for GPU's. the owner, goldf1sh claims that when the site is the size of reddit, vote manipulation will be more difficult. that's to be seen. i've also seen a couple soft exploits related to unicode usernames (which are called 'aliases' because you can post anonymously)
as you might expect from a reddit clone (voat, etc.) the userbase is mostly those that got banned from reddit for whatever reason. notabug is mostly the libertarians/Aaron Swartz worshipping kind.
the website has some sort of subreddit system called "spaces", which I don't understand, but i'm told is very well implemented.
i've actually implemented a similar spatial-sort method used within an analog computer for some industrial controllers. so it does have some real life applications.
