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.
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.

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?
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?
more ubiquitous voice control and tighter integration with Apple Watch.
Again-- these things are possible now. Bluetooth exists.
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".

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.

Hi Sebastian
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.

If long security screening lines at the airport have you down, you and your fellow travelers have only yourselves to blame for not "turning a place of 'no' into a place of 'yes'" by enrolling in the Transportation Security Administration's PreCheck program.
About 25% of the time I am approved for PreCheck despite never having enrolled. Is this because I've been a United MileagePlus member (Gold presently) for close to 20 years?
If I'm clearly a low enough threat (native born, long time frequent flyer, no criminal record) that they occasionally give me the go ahead without having done any of the additional screening questions, then perhaps they should just use these same metrics to auto-enroll a large part of the US population.
Why as tax payers are we being asked to pay for "access" to something that could be free to begin with? Particularly if they're trying to reduce long lines and deal with staffing levels-- not to mention saving travelers the time and hassle of the longer process?
He also said relying on readers to go to ClimateFeedback.org to check an article that they may have read elsewhere, and expecting it would change their views "seems a little bit idealistic."
I'd probably vote for "incredibly naive" over "a little bit idealistic". Clearly the assumption is not that the average reader will go to the CF website to read up on the alternate take.
Rather, what we want to achieve is to slowly begin to put more and more pressure upstream on the journalists themselves and those who publish their stories.
This will take more coverage of stories, more quickly, and over many more domains than just climate science.

Mr. Drumpf, in a telephone interview, compared his candidacy to hit Broadway shows and championship baseball teams, saying that success begot success and that he would be foolish to change his behavior now
This.
Mr. Drumpf’s strategy is replete with risks. Roughly 60 percent of Americans view him negatively, according to pollsters, who say more-of-the-same Drumpf is not likely to improve those numbers
Like this.
That’s what he asked me first. I had just sat down in his cham-bers, on a big, overstuffed leather couch
Hi Paul.
When that judge is a great one, a mistake like that is (rightly) magnified in our minds, because we expect more from our legends
Indeed we do!
One big issue, of course, is that you can only see the scientists’ comments if you’re using the tool, just like you’d reach for a pair of reading glasses to gain a clearer view.
For the time being. Our next steps are to bring annotation to publishers, so that the annotated layer can be seen by default. We've made progress on that through the Annotating All Knowledge coalition that we announced w/ 60 scholarly publishers in December, which Andy mentions further up.
Long term the solution is to bring annotation into the browser, so that it's there natively for all of us by default. This is the work of the W3C Web Annotation working group but it will take some time. There's much to be done.
Testing!!
Whaley envisions an environment where website owners could insert code into their sites that would tell annotation providers their preferences. Annotation services, in turn, could ignore those preferences in the name of serving the public interest. "If the Turkish government turns on a flag saying, Please don't annotate our page, the public should be able to override it," Whaley says.

This is a test.
The entire business model for academic publishing relies on successfully monetizing inconvenience. This perpetual state of inconvenience is the whole reason that Sci-Hub exists.
A close parallel is the situation with movies and music. The online services like Netflix and Spotify are getting good enough now, that people often use them now instead of pirating via Bittorrent. Open access is the scholarly equivalent.
how much focus the annotation of individual pages has received, rather than the potential of the stream.
So true. Getting the annotation of pages right is incredibly challenging-- we do have a complete overhaul of the stream planned though. There are some great things coming!
Today Marc Perton at Newsweek covered Hypothes.is with a great article. http://www.newsweek.com/web-annotation-can-comment-any-page-should-you-452666
While flying back to Minneapolis early the next morning, he became unresponsive, and his private jet made an emergency landing at Quad City International Airport in Moline, Illinois, so that he could receive medical treatment.[170] Representatives said he suffered from "bad dehydration" and had had influenza for several weeks.
There seems to be some speculation that perhaps he had a long term drug addiction to opiates that was complicated by recent prescriptions to treat a hip disorder. Sheila E dismisses this though...
If an annotation refers to a specific fragment of a resource within an EPUB Publication, that segment must be identified using the EPUB Canonical Fragment Identifiers (EPUB CFI) scheme [EPUBCFI].
What is the Web Annotation working groups thinking on this? Is there anything that the WG needs to formalize?
And every 221 years, a brood of 13-year-old cicadas and a brood of 17-year-old cicadas co-emerge, bringing twice the fun.
So, clearly 221 is 13x17. But I wonder why an overlapping year doesn't happen more often. I guess neither 13 nor 17 year cicadas have alternate populations that pop up in off-years? Why not? Is there an obvious evolutionary reason?
Genius already expressed its objection to this option in the above, but I submit that if annotation really does catch on, the major media and dominant personalities that need such correction won’t fight annotation if it delivers eyeballs.
It's not as simple as this.
First, what I expect folks’ like Dawson are saying is "don’t make public annotations here”. Are they really arguing that I shouldn’t be able to make private ones either? Probably not.
But what prevents folks from abusing such a button by disabling annotation on things that are of public importance? What if the corrupt government of Turkey puts a “don’t annotate this” tag on their entire gov’t website?
Hypothetically, how would annotation service providers distinguish between respecting such a tag when perhaps it’s a blog by a woman such as Dawson, vs a government like Turkey. It might seem simple conceptually, but there are billions of pages out there, and limited staff. What about a blog by a [insert your favorite scientific or social issue] skeptic who doesn’t want expert community to fact check their blog. Should annotation providers respect that wish and deny this powerful critical lens to concerned scientific or humanist communities?
told the Observer in a recent phone conversation that he finds the way humans reason to be fundamentally flawed
A slight misquote: What I said (or meant anyway) was more that when humans reason alone, they're more likely to engage in things like self-dealing. A good primer on this is John Brockman's piece in the edge where he explore's Mercier and Sperber's theories on this.
you’re out of luck
... for now? We've planned extensions for other browsers.
sanest
Simplest perhaps... a mobile browser would potentially be another option for heavy annotators.
Coincidence? Yes, most likely. While the tweet from the hackers’ collective may seem prophetic at first glance, the New York Stock Exchange has stated firmly that the halt in trading was the result of an internal error and not a malicious attack — an assertion echoed by the federal government.
Well, to be fair, statements by either the NYSE or the federal gov't about whether the halt was a hack or not probably aren't worth much. Public statements like this are pretty much always a calculation of desired messaging and likely reaction, not some objective reflection of truth.
Most people will argue (including me) that OkCupid is permitted to express opinions and take actions like this under its first amendment rights as a corporation
I completely disagree. OKCupid did the right thing.
