    1. Perhaps some day it will decide to sell its trove of content to a private company and closes its doors

      I suppose if we assume all things are possible, this is technically within the envelope of conceivable human events. But, as a non-profit now running their own crawl, I think quite unlikely.

    2. The idea that Internet Archive is simply a public good obscures the fact that ia_archiver is run by a subsidiary of Amazon

      According to Brewster, this is no longer true. IA is now running 100% of their own crawl as of the last 2-3 years now.

      That said, I'm sure that Amazon's Alexa is still running their own web indexing crawl in order to compute site rank (not sure I know what business purpose they have internally for it tho).

    1. For detailed study of various properties, generalization and application of Wrightfunction and generalized Wright function,

    1. They described it as one of about 200 executive orders that were contemplated during the transition — some by outside groups, others by transition officials — and that it was never intended to be signed, even without pushback from Kushner, Ivanka Trump or anyone else.

      Excuse me? Why are "outside groups" drafting presidential executive orders? Even speculative ones? Normal practice? Encouraged by the administration? "Go crazy-- send us your drafts and we'll give em a look!"

    1. The citation_doi is not, however,found

      And it (arguably) shouldn't be, because that's the abstract page. If you click to the full text of the article, you'll see that _citationdoi is present.

    2. Problems with this approach

      The only thing that I can think of is that sometimes citation_doi might be used in situations where it wasn't actually a copy of the full text of the article. But if this generally isn't true, then it seems like a good strategy.

    1. there isn’t such a view for a user’s activity on a document

      So interesting that you mention this because it's also a key request from Sebastian Karcher and our new friends at the Qualitative Data Repository.

      He asks: "Is there a way to show only annotations by a specific user on a given page? I’m thinking something like https://via.hypothes.is/<url>#annotations:username (obviously making up the syntax here, it’s just for illustration)"

    1. Trump’s stock holdings, which are separate from the more high-profile real estate and branding empire that he has said he will separate from in some fashion, represent another area rife with potential conflicts of interest that Trump has yet to address as he prepares to take office.

      Right now, we don't allow highlights in the Public channel, since they don't carry any value as conversation. We may or may not decide to allow them in publisher groups-- or to make that configurable.

    1. inevitable victor

      Two very key and well chosen words. Much wisdom lies here! We all know when we hear a story that's so compelling it's like "Wow, of COURSE. This is not only absolutely going to happen, but it's going to change everything in the process."

      For me, these words help crystalize how important it is to choose wisely when deciding what to pursue in the first place. If it's not an idea that's got inevitability written all over it, then keep moving till you find it.

    1. I’ll respond with some snark about that being a tech person issue. But honestly, it’s a temporary issue regardless.

      A "tech person" issue? Huh? Because only "tech people" need to charge and listen at the same time? This is a non-sensical response. User reports are already coming in to the contrary. You'd be on firmer ground if you said something like "given the extra battery life of the 7 plus, you're more likely to find times when you can charge versus times when you have to listen".

      But otherwise, you're simply off base here. I'm not sure about others, but I regularly find myself charging and listening at the same time. At the moment, other than some very very clunky adapters, there are no solutions at all. I'm blown away that Apple didn't at least come out with their own slimmed down version of this thing-- so that at LEAST there was an OEM offering out the gate.

    1. Annotations become visible on the click of a button

      Or-- and perhaps more relevant here-- clicking on a link to an annotation?

    2. Achieving openness in qualitative research is difficult because of the dense connections between data, analysis and text

      This might seem more obvious to someone in the domain, but it's not necessarily so to me. Why isn't it just as easy to create these dense connections in an arXiv preprint as it is in a paywalled journal article?

    1. Hypothesis makes no claim to be a social network (though a “platform for discussion” is only different in name)

      You've nailed it. We don't toss around social network only because it's an overly broad container that carries a lot of baggage-- and also because we fail pretty miserably (at present) at providing the basic features (@mentions, following, better notifications) that you'd expect if we were to claim this. But our aspirations are to enable these kinds of capabilities.

    1. Despite Snowden's later public claim that he would have faced retribution for voicingconcems about intelligence activities, the Committee found that laws and regulations in effect atthe time ofSnowden,s actions afforded him protection.

      Most naive statement in this document?

    1. create replies as if they were annotations

      I appreciate the graceful thinking that went into this suggestion-- particularly since I (think I) know how much you regret the "all replies are annotations" decision that was made way before you had a say in things.

    2. private (non-shared) replies to public annotations

      I remember us discussing this at length, and of course, there is a rationale for it-- which I supported, and I imagined even argued strongly for, since that is kind of my M.O. HOWEVER. I'll say for the record that if there is significant benefit to be had from disallowing this, then I wouldn't be too torn up by having to let it go.

      Personally I have never never never done this in actual practice. Though I suppose I could imagine it.

    3. public replies to (your own) private annotations

      I'm seconding Jeremy's "Whaaa?" but creating this as a top level annotation because I truly thought that we had specifically disallowed this corner case, for obvious reasons (i.e. the only one that could even see my annotation in order to reply to it -- publicly or otherwise -- is me. So replying publicly to my own private annotation is like "me outing myself".) Anyway. I've just checked whether this is indeed possible, and LO AND BEHOLD, it IS. Ugh. Anyway. Let it be said that this isn't a behavior we should care about preserving!!!! :)

    4. I wanted to explain, for everyone’s benefit, what the underlying causes for these issues are, and what I think it would take to fix these issues, or at least put us in a place where fixing them would become easier.

      Nick, if I could kiss you right now, I would. I love you for writing this down in plain, straightforward prose to give us all detail to work from. Yay!

    1. "While we recognise that this photo is iconic, it's difficult to create a distinction between allowing a photograph of a nude child in one instance and not others,

      Difficult, yes. Impossible, no. Figure it out. That's your job.

    1. hackers who seem to consider it their personal mission to exploit those networks

      As though it's surprising that within a new social system (i.e. networked computers) that there are humans that will exploit it. Isn't that an assumed characteristic of any human system? One might even ask whether it's necessarily a bad aspect of human behavior. Obviously depends on degree.

    2. have a similar skill set

      In other words, they must be ... hackers?

    1. as other manufacturers follow Apple’s lead

      Or ... actually pay attention to what their customers want and don't?

    2. Removing the headphone jack should be about the future, about Siri and about bringing the Apple experience to another level, but a bundled adapter gives one foot in the past.

      What a load of crap. Why is there this insistence that everything Apple does "must be for our good"?

      What if in fact, hundreds of millions of people are actually going to be really irritated by this change, but still want the new tech enough that they go ahead and buy one despite their misgivings. Why not give them a dongle and make their lives better?

    3. The most logical reason for Apple to take away the headphone jack is most likely to continue the push toward wireless everything.

      Why is this logical? Why must everything be wireless, and require batteries, or separate power?

      I love that my current headphones can spin around the jack. That my single set of headphones use an industry standard plug and work on any of the four devices that I carry, that they're cheap ($20) and that they last four years.

      Why is this an improvement?

    4. more ubiquitous voice control and tighter integration with Apple Watch.

      Again-- these things are possible now. Bluetooth exists.

    5. and the elimination of the 3.5mm jack presumably paves the way for mass adoption of Bluetooth

      But iPhones already have Bluetooth and have for years. The only reason that this would "page the way for mass adoption of Bluetooth" (ignoring that Bluetooth is already a generally adopted mainstream technology) is that using conventional headphones will be harder (need a dongle) and less convenient.

      If people widely adopt a new technology because something simpler that billions of folks have been doing for decades has suddenly been taken away from them, I wouldn't call that "paving the way", I'd call it "shoving it down their throats".

    1. feature extraction from the paper's text, especially title, summary, and, if there exists, just use the DOI

      There's a java library called CERMINE that could be adapted to this.

    2. Inside the comments, you could refer to other annotations

      Here's an annotation that refers to another.

    3. The system takes the context of the location on the paper (e.g., the reader extracts large enough context of surrounding words or sentences, which uniquely identifies the location, and allows later display the same annotation around the same text in other formats - be it HTML on the web, or other.

      Hypothes.is supports this through fuzzy anchoring, and also an ability to relate a document to other equivalent versions.

    1. One should stand by one’s decisions

      Certainly if you're using your best judgment, and that judgment is actually... good, then it's pointless to find fault after the fact.

      But it's clear that killing people indiscriminately isn't good judgment. That it was evil and immoral and created obvious consequences. When people do bad things that are obvious later, they should own up to them, and acknowledge their mistakes, and offer apologies-- particularly when those actions were responsible for millions of deaths.

    2. It is much less than the Obama administration has done in similar base areas, such as Pakistan.
    3. “It was correct, and it was in the American interest.” 

      Henry, when you meet your maker, and he asks "Why?" Will you say... "It was in the American interest?"

    1. Ideas promoted from this conversation will be designed in Android first, given the consideration of lower traffic and relative ease of implementation, but the team will be excited and watching for lessons learned in order to move ideas to the web.

      You might think about leveraging the power of web annotations (w3.org/annotation) in order to have conversations that can exist in layers over Wikipedia-- for use as corrections, suggestions, references to other articles and many other things. Our implementation works in mobile, though there's obvious work that we need to do to improve the optimization of it.

      This is a completely open source project, with a goal of providing a universal web annotation interface that can pull annotations from any hosted source. We'd love to work with you to understand how annotation can be the powerful layer that enables readers to provide these contributions!

    1. It remains to be seen whether car buyers will want to cough up a few thousand more on the purchase just to get a hyperactive version of cruise control.

      Well it's always good to wonder aloud I suppose-- but come on. If I had the choice between A and B, A being 35k and B being 37k and B would drive me from my house to my destination without intervention... and safely? I can't believe the author is speculating about this. I'd not only pay 2k, I'd probably pay 10 or 15k more. It's a fundamentally transformative technology.

      Yeah, maybe I'm not the average buyer, but I think most people would agree whether they can afford it or not, that fundamentally it's worth it.

    1. I had them at “slithy toves.”

      Isn't it the most delicious line ever?

      Ok, here's one more

    2. Sometimes a little nonsense goes a long way

      Indeed it does!

    1. One immediately wonders, in this sort of analysis, what exactly brillig means. And what is a tove? What does it mean for a tove to be slithy? Am I slithy? Was I slithy this morning until I took a shower? Is my brother one of slithiest people on earth? And if he is, is that a good thing?

      About the best breakdown of nonsense I've seen!

    1. A highlight is always private (“Only me”), which means only you can see it, and only when you’re logged in.

      People often ask about this restriction. It's worth explaining why.

      Basically, in our Public channel, we want the highlights on text to be of value to others. A single highlight by a single user without any other content doesn't meet that threshold in my view.

      Certainly, in the Kindle, Amazon will show you "things other people highlighted". That's different in our eyes-- it's a statistical representation of attention. We might consider that at some point ourselves. The question here is: Should we show every single highlight as a separate thing on a page just because someone was making a personal underline for their own benefit. To us, the answer is "no".

      We can see the benefit of you being able to personally share a bunch of highlights you've made with a specific person or group of people. That to us is probably a separate permission level, and a separate sharing model. For instance, you might share a specific link to your highlighted version of a document.

      TBD.

    1. papers appear immediately

      Because they're already pre-prints. :) This is very similar to the notion of overlay journals in that regard.

    2. real-world identity

      ORCID isn't a perfect solution-- anyone can get one-- but it might be a start.

    3. This is to prevent authors from trying to escape bad reviews by resubmitting thepaper

      I imagine that this is something arXiv might provide too. While they don't do a human review, they do perform a few analyses, and certainly would be keen to ensure that arXiv submissions are original works.

    4. can contain specific tags

      Of course. Like this one.

    5. Reviews will be linkable and shareable

      Yes. For instance, like this: Meta! Background article.

    6. Reviews will be linkable and shareable

      Yes. For instance, like this: Meta! Background article.

    7. permanently public and permanently associatedwith the paper

      Yes. Currently we support mapping to the PDF fingerprint of a paper, however it's clear that we'll need to be able to detect arXiv IDs of papers as well as DOIs (perhaps using CERMINE or an equivalent algorithm).

    8. ppear automatically as they browse

      I think this is a mandatory behavior for any good annotation solution.

    9. arxiv

      We've been working closely with arXiv, and they are a member of the new Annotating All Knowledge coalition. As soon as we're (or anyone is) able to ship a client which can listen to any annotation service, I think arXiv will consider implementing. At our current rate of progress, this will be ready in 2017.

      (This is a side note, but may not bear on your project).

    10. progress isextremely fast

      This is the new normal-- and not just in machine learning.

    1. Somehow, I doubt they would be outraged if Trump threatened to deport the Westboro Baptist Church.

      How do you deport Americans from America?

    1. the effective length of a pool can change depending on the ambient temperature, the water temperature, and even whether or not there are people in the pool itself.

      These variations however would presumably manifest evenly for all lanes however. It seems the basic issue is whether manufacturing tolerances can be reduced further-- and guaranteed in all construction regimes that might host events. Seems reasonable that this is enough of a challenge to make thousandth's timings too difficult. Fascinating.

    1. The determining factor was the amount of work I was willing to put in to get the results I wanted.

      This. The secret ingredient in any success is almost always insane amounts of persistence, above and beyond what any rational person would ever contemplate.

    1. than I would the real one, where chaos reigns, humanity is fallible, and players kick each other in the nuts multiple times only by accident

      Is it really so hard to believe that the "real world" is one characterized by people that are self-serving, self-dealing, often corrupt, and willing to do whatever it takes to win, including cheating?

      Aren't we continually bombarded by news reports that uncover pretty much exactly these types of events? Instead of thinking of them as massive 'conspiracies' perpetrated by tinfoil hat wearing nutters, why not simply think of this as the natural predisposition of our race-- that where advantage may be had, directly or indirectly, that people at all levels will push for it and often do. Particularly in high-stakes sports like NBA basketball.

      Clearly we need look no further than FIFA to know that what we would call 'conspiracy' is actually the normal functioning modality of some sports.

      Your guess may be correct that there is nothing to see here. But to dismiss it out of hand is incredibly naive.

    1. A memex is a device in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility. It is an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory.

      Wow. In 2016, we're thinking about a decentralized implementation.
