>Reviewers do it for free
if they DIDN'T do it for free, you'd have a conflict of interest because they'd be incentivized to approve more papers (otherwise the publisher has less business and won't ask you to review for them again)
>Editors are literal English majors
I JUST went to a talk about this. Only the most high-end journals actually have STEM professors as their editors - these definitely don't represent the majority of publications. I'll admit I was being hyperbolic, but the editing that goes into this shit definitely doesn't warrant $40 a pubbie
>Research is mostly done using tax money
This is skeezy because these publishers are making a fat buck from work which was funded by the public, and should therefore be freely available TO the public. Its like filling bottled water off the tap and selling it
>They don't even have to print/distribute it anymore
Costs should therefore go down. They haven't.
>Why do you need access to papers?
I already have access to papers because I am an academic and my institution pays for it (using public funds, to access research that was also paid for using those funds). I know you're going to ride some edgy libertarian bullshit about the publishers being able to run whatever business they want if there's a demand for it, but at the end of the day they're profiting off of something that is public domain and there's no reason why we should allow a bunch of Jews to fuck us over like this for their own gain. I'm not saying that publications need to be free (though I do think we should actually dedicate some public funds to that end), I'm saying that publically funded research shouldn't be used to rack up a profit at the expense of reducing the public's access to the fruits of their own taxes. Should public transit be actively trying to make as much money as possible?

Maybe there'd be less brainlets like you if kids didn't have to rely on Yahoo Answers to get their facts

Guy I don't know about evolution anymore.

So, finches in different regions have bred into particular beak shapes due to the advantage of that shape.
That means that, lets take nuts for an example, had to have been a challenge so frequent, difficult, and so advantageous to overcome, that only those finches who had a slight advantage could breed. This would happen over and over until the trait becomes very defined so that most of the finches can breed, thus making more progress towards that trait much slower.

My question is: What the fuck bred super-intelligence?

What possible challenge in nature was so specific to primordial humans in the specific area where we evolved that we developed an adaptation like this?
And if we became the apex predator of the entire earth in the blink of an eye (in the relative time of carbon based life) how has nothing ever developed this before?
Why aren't other species breeding for super-intelligence if its so powerful?

I understand it could be a mutation, but why hasn't anything else mutated like this then?

sort by polar coordinates using the lowest point as the origin. you can then calculate whether the next point would create a clockwise or counterclockwise turn (ie compare the slope of the line created with the slope of the previous line on the hull, if it's greater then its a clockwise turn). if it's counter clockwise u drop the previous point.

sortByPolarCoords(points)
let hull = new list
for p in point {
if clockwise hull.push(p)
else hull.pop() && hull.push(p)
}

something like that
