@clew @Thcoudreau @johncarlosbaez arXiv nominally moved to the Cornell Tech campus on Roosevelt Island in Manhattan a few years ago, though I don’t know if they have any actual infrastructure there.
The job description does say “will work closely with board member representatives of Cornell University and the Simons Foundation”, so Simons seems to be very involved.
@Thcoudreau @johncarlosbaez The arXiv budget is just internal operations, it doesn’t make any grants or fund outside projects, so the CEO salary is going to be a larger percentage than for a place like the Simons Foundation that serves as a funder of many outside project (including arXiv).
While $300k sounds like a lot, it looks to be towards the low side of CEO compensation for a tech-oriented non-profit foundation in NYC.
@randahl Republicans used to complain that Democrats were letting foreign governments and international institutions dictate US policy.
They also said, and still say, that there could be “no daylight” between US and Israeli policy.
Of course, ultimately the only way to get “no daylight” is to let Israel dictate US policy.
Meanwhile, they keep calling Israel an important ally. There’s no treaty relationship, Israel is a client state. At this time, a very troublesome client.
