"This is not the language of mainstream liberalism, or the Sanders wing of the Democratic Party. Ocasio-Cortez is using the example of US settler-colonialism in her native Puerto Rico to highlight the violence of Israeli setter-colonialism." https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/3896-ocasio-cortez-palestine-and-the-left
"Our work provides the first quantitative caffeine optimization tool for designing effective strategies to maximize neurobehavioural performance and to avoid excessive caffeine consumption during any arbitrary sleepβloss condition."
I guess whether people say the name out loud when referencing any of the Csikszentmihalyis in talks is another matter...
I once saw evidence that people with difficult to spell last names get cited less, but Csikszentmihalyi is widely cited (on "flow"), and his two children seem to be doing fine as well. #outliers
A top House Democrat just lost his primary β to a socialist. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ran boldly to the left of Rep. Joe Crowley β and won. (Yeah!!!) https://t.co/deEsxNlP7A

Is there a service that helps me find reasonable values for the location field for bibliographic references given the publisher name?
@ocdtrekkie Github wiki, gists, user pages are all stored in git repos. Rest isn't. I don't know about the equivilants on Gitlab.
Also, https://github-backup.branchable.com/ pulls all the data into a branch (and backs up all repos you star or fork); I wrote it 6 years ago partly to demonstrate feasibiity, partly to not lose information when the inevitable github backlash happened.
