Hypothesis – social annotation overlays

A meta-layer is a shared digital space that exists above the content of a webpage—an interaction and computation environment that responds to what you're looking at, but is not owned by the site itself.

It is said that Heine once asked Hegel regarding the meaning of “what is reasonable is real”. Hegel laughed and said: “In fact, this sentence means ‘all reasonable things should be realized.” Having said that, Hegel was immediately taken aback by what he said and looked around in a panic. Upon finding that there was no one else around, he calmed down and told Heine not to mention this to anyone else (Deng, 2006).

Their intent is to migrate entirely away from Google to the San Francisco based InfluxData, which I guess is marginally better in some ways but seems to entirely miss the point of people's objections in spirit. Other than people's personal subjective trust of one US company over another, there's no inherent difference between Alphabet & InfluxData from a technical standpoint.

Homebrew doesn't "report" anything to Google, much less anything of yours (implying unique identification). This is an unnecessary editorialization.

Download and Extract the PDF.js Package2. Add the PDF viewer to your web pageWe will also use it as a full screen PDF viewer where we can pass in a PDF filename via URL query string. Try the full screen viewer now:Open Full Screen PDF.js ViewerStep 1 - Download and Extract the PDF.js PackageCopied to clipboardLet’s head over to GitHub to download the latest stable release and then extract the contents inside our website folder.Here are the contents of the .zip:Plain text├── build/ │ ├── pdf.js │ └── ... ├── web/ │ ├── viewer.css │ ├── viewer.html │ └── ... └── LICENSEAfter extracting the .zip contents, our website folder could look something like this:Plain text├── index.html ├── subpage.html ├── assets/ │ ├── pdf/ | ├── my-pdf-file.pdf | ├── my-other-pdf-file.pdf | ├── ... ├── build/ - PDF.js files │ ├── pdf.js │ ├── ... ├── web/ - PDF.js files │ ├── viewer.css │ ├── viewer.html │ ├── ... └── LICENSE - PDF.js licenseNote: Due to browser security restrictions, PDF.js cannot open local PDFs using a file:// URL. You will need to start a local web server or upload the files to your web server.Step 2 - Embed the PDF Viewer in WebsiteCopied to clipboardOur last step will be to embed the viewer in our web page by using an <iframe>. We will use a query string to tell the PDF viewer which PDF file to open. Like this: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Hello world!</title> </head> <body style={{"fontFamily":"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"}}> <div style={{"width":"760px"}}> <h2>About Us</h2> <p>We help software developers do more with PDFs. PDF.js Express gives a flexible and modern UI to your PDF.js viewer while also adding out-of-the-box features like annotations, form filling and signatures.</p> <!-- Place the following <div> element where you want the PDF to be displayed in your website.

For example, uncommenting this line will move the counter-clockwise rotation tool to the left region of the primary toolbar:JavaScriptaddElemFromSecondaryToPrimary(&#39;pageRotateCcw&#39;, &#39;toolbarViewerLeft&#39;)If you wanted to move pageRotateCcw to the middle region instead, you’d replace toolbarViewerLeft with toolbarViewerMiddle, or toolbarViewerRight for the right region. To move a different tool, replace the pageRotateCcw ID with the element ID you want to move. (See below for a full list of element IDs.)We can also hide elements like this:JavaScriptremoveElement(&#39;print&#39;) removeElement(&#39;download&#39;)To hide different elements, replace print or download with the element ID.NOTE: Hiding the download and print buttons is not a bulletproof way to protect our PDF, because it’s still possible to look at the source code to find the file. It just makes it a bit harder.

NODAL: A Filesystem for Ubiquitous Collaboration

Ted Nelson has gone a step further and blamed the emphasis on "files" themselves as an aspect of this problem,

he preponderance of potentially exploitable team knowledge is distributed in a completely inaccessible way on un-indexed and often inaccessible individual systems.

The barrier to sharing even the products of work, much less the process
