What’s the catch? As in, why is this not the default?

The answer is too country specific to be helpful if we don’t know which countries you have in mind. For example, AFAIK Isabela Manelici was able to get and link admin data from Costa Rica, but not Romania.

Tommy makes excellent points about school choice on the old-old site. Fairness and legality rely on transparency and automation. However, my experience is that policy-makers dislike algorithmic allocation out of a misplaced fear of AI and mistaken beliefs that admin discretion improves fairness.

Been living in Denmark for 10 years and I can count on one hand, with fingers to spare, the number of tense encounters I witnessed (road rage included). I quite enjoy it.

In my first job as AP, I went to the university gym to sign up (everyone had to pay a fee, faculty more than students). I was asked in which degree cycle I was enrolled 😊 Take it as a compliment 😊

I wasn't even aware that Zotero doesn't move manually-added PDFs 😊

Really nice thread about Zotero. I've been using for years and didn't know about some of the addons here. Hope they'll still work after the impending (??) update to Zotero 7. Maybe also useful to #EconSky

I am anal about how my PDFs are named so after drag-and-dropping a PDF in Zotero I always choose "Rename and move attachment" from the context menu -> Manage attachments. This adds one more step, but solves #2.

Is it worth it?

Reupping this because there are a lot more people here now and I, unfortunately, still need a job.
