ArXiv receives $10M for upgrades
Oh that’s great to hear! I really like arXiv and am glad it’s getting more funding! I hope this will enable arXiv to fix some of the long-time issues it has, including the way identity and attribution are handled.<p>For example: the current system assumes people’s names do not change [1], which in particular negatively affects trans authors. This seems like it could be fixed if they had the bandwidth to, and I hope they will.<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-...</a>
