Not necessary to speak Spanish, you can teach classes in English for the first 2 years and pick up the language on the job, as I did.

Any Q's about living & working in Colombia, feel free to ask me!

I'd also like more granular data on this! I understand the building industry uses a lot of energy (and emits a lot of greenhouse gases) -- is that "other" or "industrial" here?
Also curious when China's construction boom might ebb and if that will help, CO2-wise.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your article! This is a good discussion to be having, and it's nice to see a probability-theoretic analysis of the issue (even if I'm not convinced of all your underlying assumptions).

...it comes down to how we scholars allocate our finite time and attention, and I worry that the kind of public crowdsourcing you advocate would tend to make this allocation more unequal to the benefit of superstars and ppl who make splashy claims.

...with the benefit that I (and many other mathematicians) have benefited from having a journal editor say "you (as an anonymous reviewer) must spend a few hours reading this article by a student that you otherwise would not have paid attention to"....

This ☝️(unmerited concentration of public reviews around articles published by big names in prestigious institutions) is the biggest concern about crowdsourcing I have. At least current system has brought a lot of interesting new work by less-established colleagues to my attention....

Thanks for sharing this! I'd mainly known White as the co-author of a silly grammar guide and I didn't realize he had this in him.
You can still see his tendency towards pedantry and relentless attention to detail that made him sometimes be a style nitpick, but in this case he found a worthy target.

Great explanation of the sound changes, but to be clear: the diacritical mark ~ ("tilde" in English) was used by medieval scribes for many kinds of abbreviations, not just omitted nasal consonants.
E.g. in the Domesday Book (1086) you can see <p~ter> for "p(a)ter," <Eps~> for "Ep(iscopu)s", etc.

"Always only do illegal things challenge"

(E.g. just continuously burning $1 bills, in utter silence to avoid speech acts protected by 1st Amendment)

Side side note: English has two different words derived from the same root via French, "chief" and "chef." The different pronunciation of <ch> is because the first is an older borrowing from Anglo Norman French, which had a [t͡ʃ] affricate where Mod Fr. has the sibilant [ʃ].

Seriously, it's not even clear to me who is the intended audience for the sales pitch on their website (which is all very off-putting from the perspective of a loved one of a potential patient). Is this meant to be addressed to healthcare providers? Insurance companies? Venture capitalists?

This is fun! Let me try constructing the other tenses:
Future tense *voldré "I will want" (from volere + he > voldré with epenthetic -d-, cf. valer, valdré)
Simple past *volió "s/he wanted"
Past participle *volido or *vuelto (???)
2nd person sing. imperative *vol

Thanks, now I see! I was comparing with Sp. huelga "strike," but now I see this word has a different history, coming from the verb holgar < Latin follicāre acc. to my dictionary. I guess something like *foligare > folgar > holgar w/ short 'o', and without the yod at any stage (?).

Thanks! It shares a lot of inflected forms with the common verb volar (to fly) so this would be a little confusing.

I like the detail of the irregular added <g> in the 1st person sing. present, but can you explain why it wouldn't be *vuelgo with the usual outcome for short o in stressed syllables?

Is there any evidence for a PGmc. form *þrilifa 'thirteen'? Why don't we have thrileven, fourven, fivven, ...?

In theory you could use "set-theoretic sleight of hand" to produce something countable (forcing extensions add new real numbers, which are countable objects; or using a weak version of AC). But Hollman's counterexample has a simple explicit definition, so should work in any model of ZF you like!
