> Removing filler words from normal speech gives you clearer speech, not a sermon. Orators use far more tricks than avoiding filler. They exude emotion. Oration is a performance, and for most people it does not come naturally.

I'm a bit confused. So if I understand you correctly, Sam is the one with clear, calm speech, but Craig is the praised "orator", yet he would appear "insane" in your living room. So which one do you think is the better speaker?

It's addressed in the article. They specifically address this point, and argue that philosophy is different, because there are distinctive traditions and approaches in non-western philosophy that nonetheless are recognizably doing philosophy in the same sense as European and American philosophers.

In contract, there are Chinese physicists and Chinese mathematicians, but they're doing math and physics the same way that Europeans and Americans do it.

Edit: made this non-snarky. Sorry for that.
I picked up his calculus book for the first time almost 15 years ago and still remember so much about it. Integration explained before derivatives, the method of exhaustion at the start, and that early (first?) exercise about "a number less than arbitrary epsilon therefore it's 0" all stuck with me through the end of grad school and to today.
It's interesting to me that they don't play out any motivating examples, and instead just browbeat the reader with names and dates.

I think it would have been a much more effective piece if, for example, they'd presented a philosophical argument of Lame Deer's[1] or explained how the "Flying Man" thought experiment could inform our reading of Descartes[2].

This is commonly misunderstood. The Confucian Rectification of Names is not about altering the names we use to better conform with reality, but rather about altering reality to better conform to the names we use. A very different approach than Western linguistic and political philosophy.

However could it be fair to consider Revlo a missing feature of Twitch?

This points to a greater truth that has been demonstrated countless times -- you can't make a business out of making a feature for someone else's product. It might be worth some temporary minor attention, but it is doomed out of the gates.
Well if philosophy weren't complete bullshit I might be more upset...
I would fear fabricated likes and positive comments about "our" papers and fabricated un-likes and negative comments about "their" papers; academic cliques and individual professors can leverage their students to pollute any StackExchange-like mechanism, and if they have too few slaves there are plenty of PR firms to do the job.

This is a naive way to see things. Creating products and advancing technology are two different things and very often the one do not lead to the other. To create that business model based on technologies breakthroughs you need to have "the dare to fail" mindset and be willing to launch multiple fails before succeeding with one product, that's not Apple way of doing things there business model and reputation is based on creating "perfect" products well integrated which oppose to the technology edge and try and fail way of doing things

Private beta|Bot platform to unify access to enterprise resources
Yes, I agree. The history of philosophy is an important part of philosophy, not all of philosophy. I studied the subject nearly 30 years ago and can only recall the history courses as having a decisive Western bias (though not a monopoly). I believe all the courses were correctly labeled, and I can remember at least one embarrassed explanation that other traditions could not be included.

I am curious how the bias might affect topics like contemporary epistemology, logic, or the philosophy of science or of mathematics?
It's my understanding that the problem is not with source theft/copying in violation of licensing. It's with cloning an API.

If Oracle (or anyone) can copyright an API then we might as well pack up and go home. By that measure, you make a new JavaScript library for LeftPad and copyright the API along with the source. Now people start using your library. But it's inefficient. So I come along and clone it, make it faster, better, stronger, the $6 million LeftPad-compatible clone. You can sue me for violating your API copyright.

Welcome to the end.
Going into another anecdote just confuses the matter. Like most interpersonal issues, the specific context and actions are important.

I will say that the scenario that you've created is markedly different.
Has anyone mentioned that maybe Apple just doesn't have the focus (Jobs) at the top telling it where to spent R&D? How much did Apple spend on R&D under other CEO's when Jobs left?
That was what by far I found most interesting. Those could be easily labelled as genuinely anti-competitive practices - (i.e., it'd be if Google blocked "Bing" lookups, or vice versa (presuming it was manually added by their staff, rather than auto-triggered by a lot of adult content being flagged at the same time, and a heuristic firing off a ban-signal)). MS got into that whole DOJ trouble for bundling their own browser for way less than that.
It is possible the authors were just trying to illustrate the remoteness of the ecosystem, without meaning to evoke emotion.

Technically all numbers are comparable.
Even if some random kafka committer that you can't source believes that, the reasoning doesn't add up:

SBT makes it fairly straightforward to cross publish for different dot releases of Scala, and libraries in the Scala ecosystem do it all the time.

Scala dot releases are far apart. It's been over 2 years since 2.11, and 2.10 released in 2012.

By contrast, the JAVA client that the Kafka project published in November is already undergoing breaking changes for the current release candidate. It's pretty clear that avoiding breaking changes is not an overriding concern for them, and even if it is, it's equally clear that Scala was not the inherent problem.
Because the argument they're making (which is valid, but I don't agree with it) is that lumping all of non-Western humanity under such a homogenous label still gives "Western" (i.e. Eurocentric) philosophy an undue weighting. The implicit assumption I disagree with is that this constitutes disproportionate representation due to the population size covered or even culture and breadth of ideas - regardless of how complex or relevant the literature is to whatever unstated agendas there are.
Well, that's a good point. I'm pretty sure VW uses technologies invented for the Veyron in their other cars, but I guess it's hard to estimate the cost/profit ratio in this case. In any case, the point I was trying to make was that other car companies don't maintain 25% profit on all of their vehicles like Tesla does, because they have a much more varied portfolio of models.
I totally object to this deliberately obscure style of academic writing. Having to re-read a sentence five times to decipher it doesn't make the author sound intelligent, it makes me suspect the author has nothing substantial to say.

I'm working on my PhD now, and deliberately avoid citing papers with this style. I haven't got the time or energy to wade through pages of bullshit obscurity searching for nuggets of insight.

I realise it's a fashion amongst academics, designed to separate them from the ignorant masses. It's working, but I don't think that's a good thing.
No kidding! I have immense respect for the scientists who are willing (and able!) to go into these places to bring back research and information for the rest of us.
That sounds right on first glance, but I wonder how much money companies would spend internally doing the same work the recruiter is doing. If it was THAT much cheaper, I'd think the recruiting industry would be in trouble. I think that $30k might be gone either way.

Logic is an interesting example. I've always wondered if someone who had more natural access to Eastern philosophy (Zen?) has a more natural feeling for some of the non-classical logics (paraconsistent, many-valued) and maybe quantum states.

The western calendar didn't even exist until the 1500s, so asking for the calendar in 16AD is sort of contrived.
IANAL but as I see it, the interface between hardware components is a binary interface, and this is where the difference lies between this case and others like Sony and Sega. The API here is not a binary interface but rather a textual description for humans to consume, and hence has aspects like creativity and expressivity, the very things copyright applies to. Binary interfaces have none of that. They are literally numbers for machines to interpret. Copyright cannot protect that because that is pure functionality and has no capability for expression.

Not to say there's no creativity there, there certainly is. But that creativity exists in the ideas and solutions used to solve technical problems, which is then the realm of patents.

Google tries to conflate these two issues. Programmers may find it reasonable because of course binary code seems equivalent to program code, the former being deterministically derived from the latter. But from a copyright perspective they are very different. Binaries enjoy copyright protection as they are "derived" from copyright-eligible software code, but Google is not accused of copying binary code here, rather textual APIs that they did not clean room reverse.

Unfortunately tech media and organizations like the EFF of course portray it differently because they have an agenda, and most people accept it without critical thought.

Do first owners sell their cars because they become unusable or because they become unfashionable or some other reason?

In two car households does the second car primarily get purchased for use when the first car is sitting idle but just in the wrong location?

Might there be a change in ownership as a sort of "buy-to-let" system comes in where owners wouldn't be able to buy an autonomous vehicle but afford it as they send the vehicle out to work doing deliveries/taxiing people during the times they don't need it?

It seems quite hard to predict how autonomous vehicles will change things; a lot of it will depend on regulations on how they're manned - will a driver with a license still be required at all times? Will there be new licenses? Will autonomous vehicles have extra restrictions on their speed or which roads they use? Will there be protectionist laws to prevent them picking up and taxiing people? The surrounding legislation will probably be as important to the way the evolution of car use happens.

That's debatable. Maybe it was turing complete on the paper but it was never designed to be and it was not used as a turing complete machine.
And it should be considered in the context of how other competing philosophies of the day treated names, like the Daoist, Mohist, and Legalist positions.
The article's point is very well-made. During my two-year-long stint as a philosophy major at Berkeley, at least two courses spent absurd lengths of time on the vagary specificities of Descartes' cogito which, while important, could have easily been a place to at least peer into other traditions' basic arguments over the existence of a soul, like Avicenna's Flying Man or the concepts of Gautama Buddha. The fact that these myriad connections between genetically unrelated traditions are never drawn is the real travesty. American philosophy would be much more creative if it wove non-European traditions into its historical tapestry.
IANAL, but my take: Are you re-implementing anybody else's API without their permission? If not, this has absolutely no bearing on you. Hopefully a real lawyer can shed more light.
"A single negative review by a more established theoretical astrophysicist would be enough" to discredit his opinion completely if your methods and results prove useful to the community. And besides, he can do that anyway if your paper happens to fall in his hands for review, which is a much more vicious system, because all the backstabbing happens in private. I disagree with your premise here.
Imagine all GPL software required the licensee to never enforce API copyright, and if they ever enforced API copyright (over unrelated code), their license to the GPL code was null and void. Then Oracle can't run Linux.
The underlying problem (which wasn't mentioned at all in this essay) is that contemporary philosophical education is a confusing mix of two things:

1. Ideas on particular "universal" topics, like politics, ethics, metaphysics, and so on. We can call this "philosophy."

2. What certain people thought about said ideas. We can call this "history of thought."

Should there be a wider variety of cultures in #2? Of course. But it's also very important to realize that philosophy, that is, the activity of ruminating on ideas, is largely a process that happens within specific culture in reaction and in conversation to other members of a culture. So while Confucian thought on the family is no doubt very robust and worth exploring, it is simply out-of-place and lacking context when placed next to 20th-century Anglo-American philosophy, for example. Wittgenstein was writing in response to western philosophers that came before him. One cannot really understand W. without understanding the centuries of western thought that led to him.

Personally, I'd like to see more of a clear distinction between "philosophy" and "history of thought". This would allow for more inclusion of non-western thought while also recognizing that viewpoints on certain subjects are not equally as valid simply because they are from a different culture.

is it really that weird if a philosophy department located in say, belgium, emphasizes belgian philosophers and philosophers from surrounding areas (like france and germany). philosophy is not really a science and is subjective. thus, a comparison to math (or physics) does not make sense. given the tribal nature of humanity, it just makes sense that departments emphasize those famous philosophers from their tribes. if you look at russian and chinese institutions, no doubt one would see a different picture. The whole argument of 'evaluation on merit' is not a good argument because 'merit' is subjective. it would be roughly equivalent to 'what the people in the department like'. the argument against their idea of renaming to a 'philosophy of america and europe department' would be that a certain amount of (regional)bias is implicit in the discipline of philosophy. we could consider anyone who denies this to be 'dumb' and hence it does not need naming to make it explicit. on the contrary, this kind of 'self naming & shaming' could damage the brand of 'philosophy' as a whole.
You're right, here's the quote:

Others might argue against renaming on the grounds that it is unfair to single out philosophy: We do not have departments of Euro-American Mathematics or Physics. This is nothing but shabby sophistry. Non-European philosophical traditions offer distinctive solutions to problems discussed within European and American philosophy, raise or frame problems not addressed in the American and European tradition, or emphasize and discuss more deeply philosophical problems that are marginalized in Anglo-European philosophy. There are no comparable differences in how mathematics or physics are practiced in other contemporary cultures.
