A huge value in having authors upload the original source, is it divorces the content from the presentation (mostly). That the original sources were available was sufficient for a large majority of the corpus to be automatically rendered into HTML for easier reading on many devices: https://info.arxiv.org/about/accessible_HTML.html.

Something I've learned recently is that the convention of when to use angle brackets and when to use quotes is not prescribed by the standard but instead is implementation-defined.
I don't think they are referring to the Reddit news, I think they are referring to the ongoing disagreement between the SO Inc staff and volunteer moderators and resulting strike over the new policy on generated content: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/389811/moderation-s...
How did we get here from the post about uv?
