Reviewer 2: go fuck yourself! A recent article to test the wide belief that Reviewer #2 is a uniquely poor reviewer.
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ssqu.12824
Some nice highlights:
Reviewer #2 is not the problem. Reviewer #3 is. In fact, he is such a bad actor that he even gets the unwitting Reviewer #2 blamed for his bad behavior.
What is worse is that Reviewer 3 seems to be a crafty cretin
He or she is able to do this while Reviewer 2 takes the blame . This seems like it is the ultimate jerk move.

why I don't get "particle physics"
I think there are two parallel cultures going on in high energy physics, and no one explains the connection
why I don't get "particle physics"
always the same: there's all this math and I can understand that, but after many years of trying I have not found out what a "particle" supposedly is or that it exists.
particle is a unit excitation of its field or perhaps just a field of hat type, ok. unintuitive use of the word "particle" but we go with it.
then suddenly a particle is said to be somewhere and be travelling to somewhere. how is that possible?

Genius. They wrote a script to make a PDF look like it's printed, signed, and then scanned again. Because digital signatures are still not accepted in many places while a signed and scanned printout is.
This is hacking bureaucracy. I love it!

Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.
A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."
People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.
Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.
