I’d like to share a recent article of mine about open data and code for a shared future of humanity:

Dear @AsymptoticAspiration , first of all, apologies, I have just read the abstract of your paper, I will try to read all of it as soon as possible. As a first experience, I felt a bit alarmed about the suggestion to store loads and loads of data and code as opposed to papers. I am worried that, if no major revolution occurs in the way data and code are stored so that they don’t hurt the environment as much, then we may fill the world with datacenters of which 99% will be minutiae and trivial data and useless code. On the other hand, if we allow an evolutionary sort of approach (or let’s say, historical, in the sense of how science until right before the data revolution) where the best paper and datasets stay and are studied, then we’ll have more space in the planet for things like homes for people and environment for the planet to survive.
But, as I have just said, this is just a first impression from your abstract, and I look forward to chatting with you here! Welcome, dear friend!!
Best Wishes,
Haris
