The interactive parts don't work e.g. in http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/chap4.html

If you want to annotate the original, interactives and all, you can use something like https://hypothes.is/ (also open source)

I think Fermat's library seems great for annotating older static papers, but it the current version seems like the wrong format for this. Perhaps for interactives, just embed the original site with hypothes.is annotations?

You can see what that would like using their proxy: https://via.hypothes.is/http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning...
In antitrust law pretty much everywhere, including the US, achieving a certain degree of dominance in a market makes anticompetitive actions which would otherwise be legal become illegal for you in order to prevent leverage dominance in one market to prevent free competition in another market. The details vary by jurisdiction, of course, but this, in broad outline, is not a difference between the US and EU.
It's ugly but i've seen it done - you could pass JSON objects as parameter values.
Good point, but not unsolvable. I can imagine the law would require user specifically giving permission to delete the data afterwards, maybe even mandating a certain form of presenting the gist of the deal, instead of lengthy and indecipherable TOS.

I don't know the legal language, but requiring a text box with a tick mark or equivalent that presents a legally mandated predefined statement designed as a short and simple (unlike most TOS and EULAs), in clear and visible text, should not be impossible.

For example, "I agree that $corp may delete my data without notice and opportunity to back it up" if the $corp isn't willing to offer a TOS that grants the user those rights. Possibly another similar one about privacy.

So in the US (and Japan and only a handful of other countries), fictional depictions of under age or incestual content isn't illegal (per the court case you referenced above), so long as you're not using real people to act it out.

This doesn't hold true for ... most of the rest of the planet. In the UK a man was put in jail for Simpsons porn, something that's legal in the US (although potentially a trademark violation; unless you can argue it's satire).

In Cooper's home country of France, fictional depictions are actually illegal (books like Lolita are banned).

But as already stated, even if legality wasn't the issue, yes they are still a private company and can do what they want. The article mentions this and there really needs to be an effort to educate people that they need multiple backups, not just on-line, but on their own media.
I'm glad LLDB exists now. It brought competition into the abysmal Open Source debugger space. It's just a pity that there are no good frontends for LLDB so far.
Among other things, he was known for Fano's Inequality, which gives a limit for how well you can predict the value of a random variable based on knowledge of a related variable. Apparently this is quite useful in signal processing for communications over a noisy channel, where the signal that you receive is not quite the same as what was sent.

I recently watched a video on social media that was about raising awareness of people with disabilities and encouraging people to use their votes this election cycle to make a difference. It was very moving until the end where they had "#CripTheVote"[0], and I was like "WHAT?" Isn't "crip" short for "cripple"? And isn't "cripple" considered insulting these days? Is this some sort of "take back the word" movement?

The way to learn and grow is to see people criticize X, often as a way to explain that Y is better. I personally grew a lot by reading criticism of OOP in favor of FP. I don't think just saying "FP is good" would be possible without also explaining why the way I was currently doing things -- OOP -- was causing avoidable problems.

That said, this article doesn't accomplish that. Uninformed/incomplete criticism is not a reason to avoid all criticism.

Interesting read. I am neutral on the Gawker issue (or more accurately, I just don't care) but the bits about Trump, future governance past democracy, etc. were good.

I live in the USA, and I have a difficult time thinking of our political system as being a democracy or a representative democracy. The financial nobility own the government on most issues that matter. I don't even think we have class warfare because the elites have won, game over.

I spend a lot of time thinking about the future, a pleasant waste of time! I expect some form of meritocracy with huge wealth disparity and some form of guaranteed minimum income to keep society functioning. My field (since the early 1980s) is artificial intelligence and machine learning, and I expect to see continued rapid progress in practical automated systems that will replace blue and white collar labor. Society will need to adjust.

Edit: I have read Thiel's book "Zero to One" twice.

> management chain values the domain science more than the quality of the implementation

That is the crux of the issue. Many Matlab and R users don't see themselves as producing software per se. They are producing "recommendations" or models or papers; the code is just a means to that end, and so who cares if it is terrible? No one will do this exact thing again anyway... Obviously, that is pretty myopic. If you have good "infrastructure" code, it makes writing the one-off parts easier, faster, and less buggy--which it makes it easier to turn the one-off code into infrastructure.

Out of curiosity, how could I convince you that joining our group (which does have a ton of matlab code) wouldn't be awful? Or what would convince you to hire someone whose last job was predominately matlab?
Well that's exactly what I need: A format that communicates structured data, friendly with GET requests and backward compatible with query string encoding. Why there is no such format/standard yet? Is it that unusual?
GDB development is driven mostly by Redhat and Mentors Graphics (ex Code Sourcery), and both of them often add new functionnalities, fix bugs and maintain GDB. But maybe their work is at too low level for most people to notice?

I still wonder what's missing in GDB. I got quite proficient with this tool, and never had access to VS. I personnally don't count GUIs built on top of GDB, as they don't provide new capabilities, just 'fancier' interfaces that GDB's CLI.
So there's a good chance this guy is a creep. That doesn't change the fact that any content any of us have posted to a third-party site (be it Google, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc.) can be taken down at any time, without notification or appeal. Certainly these third-party companies mostly take down the pedos and creeps, but that doesn't really matter. Power is delineated by the maximum possible reach of their actions, not by how they choose to act at any given moment.
It still is.

I just misunderstood then, thanks for the clarification.
Looking at legal immigration woes of H1B from India and China - USA policy makers should really think hard about the their stupid policies where H1Bs are tied to their employer to stay legally in the country even after being on H1B for several years. Waiting in GC line for 10+ years is a joke and cruel. USA succeeds despite this. There is no political will to provide any job portability. Obama's executive directive has been watered down by special interests who don't want EAD to be provided to immigrants H1B + I140 (second stage of GC).

These regressive legal immigration policies don't make USA great and show the spirit of America in good light. It feels as if, corporations and special interests like high skilled indentured workers hurting both americans and immigrants alike.

By uploading a video to YouTube you are giving them a special license to distribute the video. The license you choose in the video description doesn't apply to them. The title is incorrect in saying there is any kind of violation here.
>>Does this guy think "the 90%" are just poor and irresponsible?

One could make a case for that. A lot of people are really bad with money. The tragedy is they don't know it yet, or do not really understand the consequences of their actions on the long term. Its hard to define 'bad with money' because many people don't exactly classify their actions as such. Which is why some one calls out such activity, people feel offended because they never thought their spending patters could be considered irresponsible.

Spending cash on cameras and expensive lenses which you are not going use, eating out regularly, spending on vacations, changing phones often, cigarettes, alcohol... the list is endless. There is always a need every week on which you could spend $100 here and there. Without a way of tracking your habits, looking at it and extrapolating it over the long term you would pretty much believe that you are doing nothing harmful to your finances at all!

Now some body else is probably saving up and investing all the time and is likely to come out on top by a very huge margin. The very same people in the former category will end up calling such a person greedy.

Self reflection is hard because it destroys you, fixes the center of blame on you, you run out of excuses all when you realize it was all your own choices and actions which bought you to where you are.

You realize that you bring up _nothing_ that is a factor of race, correct?

All the points you raise are valid, but have to do with culture rather than ethnicity. Nothing you said discriminates against people with an ethnicity from Africa than an ethnicity from Northern Europe.
ElasticSearch [1] is one of the few APIs that does this. This is not a good idea [2], because you're sure to break caching and proxying, if it works at all.

Even ElasticSearch acknowledges this and allows you to POST the body instead. That's not very 'RESTful' either, but at least it's to spec. But since you haven't mentioned REST at all, POSTing to a controller resource to perform what would amount to be a retrieval is certainly a common practice in other HTTP APIs.

Almost Any Messaging App Will Do – If You're ISIS
I was an Oberon user for a while, back when it was still being developed.

The version 3 with the Gadgets framework was quite cool.

The only modern OS environments that come close to these experiences are Windows with .NET/VS/Powershell and OS X with Playgrounds, the OS X Frameworks and Applescript.

Don't get me wrong, it is great what they are doing and I for one enjoy Notebooks, Playgrounds, modern IDEs, tooling that allows for both for JIT and AOT, while offering safety.

Just a bit nostalgic how things could have been different.

For example, when Google brought out ChromeOS and Dart, I thought there was a perfect opportunity to have a similar experience, but that is not how it turned out to be.
Is there an easy way to test for this? I just bought an AC router (TP-LINK AC1900) and I had planned to use the USB port.
Thank you for responding and clarifying. I thought you took issue (and maybe you do...) with a dozen other terms used in the text - terms which some readers might need to look up, but which have a specific, nuanced meaning that is lost if a more common word is used. I'm biased in the authors favor because I've been accused of trying to show off my vocab (such as it is, lol) when all I'm trying to do is say what I really mean.

As for that first sentence, I agree that your version is more clear, more accessible, but I also think that there is meaning lost. The author seems to want to draw attention to the clash of cultural values. This isn't conveyed so well in this more accessible version.

On another axis, his version evokes more powerful imagery and feelings. These words: 'alienating infrastrcuture, controlled, provoked, nettle, thrill, transgressing. 'value the principle' all have much larger emotional, visual, even tactile impact on me than the most emotional words in the other version.

I'm not saying this is right or wrong, only that this may have been the authors goal (more so than showing off their vocab). The author may also consciously value (a) emotional/visual impact on those who bother to read over (b) making the work easy for a larger body of people to read.
It's really bad. Not as bad as gnome-terminal back in the day (it's been fixed for a while), but it definitely can't keep up with a 'find /usr'.

(I'm running it on linux, ymmv).
This is my whole point. If it is art to someone, then it is art.

Let's say there's some country that considers the the exact dishes are organized in a cabinet to be art (pretty sure this isn't a thing anywhere). People have cabinets in their house so that they can show off their dish stacking. Now someone from another culture visits and is shown the display. They say "that's not art." Not to them, maybe not. But it's still art simply because someone (one person or many) calls it so.

Is this [0] or this [1] music? Some might just call that "sounds," but I like the wikipedia definition [2] for this as well.

> Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound and silence.

Extremely broad and allowing for many things to be considered music. If someone wanted to record an album of them dropping coins into plastic cups and call it music, then they should be able to.

Global Terrorism Declined Last Year – But Not in the West
Yes, the original sounds pompous, but your "simplification" ended up shaving off a lot of meaning. At the same time, you are clearly injecting some meaning.

By example, you seem to claim that "Any large and alienating infrastructure" is roughly equivalent to "[A world] ... more entwined with technology". Assuming "infrastructure" == "technology", the "entwined" part kind of fits the "large" part - which is value neutral -, but completely leaves aside the "alienating" part - which is not. I have (mostly) no problem with a world getting "entwined" with technology; the problem is the subset of that technology that ignores or betrays the needs and expectations of the people it claims to serve.

I could keep going and going: "has progressively become" != NULL, "those providing these services" != "technocratic elite", "... have become more protective" != "controlled by ...", "is bound to provoke" != "As a result of this protectiveness", etc.

At the end of day you are entitled to your own opinion, but please own up to it and present it as your own!!! Do not try to pass your own ideas as a simplified version of the original article. It is not.
The US legal system doesn't really let you do that. If he was bankrolling a bunch of cases that got thrown out, they might be able to counter sue, but that's not the way it shook out.

I would be more comfortable with their approach if they were more humble about achieving their goals. There does not exist a perfect solution at the moment, but they're not great at addressing that. Based on their marketing-speak, you'd think they'd solved the problem.

Purism loudly trumpets their roadmaps[0] and plans[1] so as to suggest a trajectory towards totally free software, but until they achieve it their product is hardly worth the premium compared to installing Linux on an ultrabook of your choice.

[0] https://puri.sm/posts/roadmap-to-a-completely-free-bios/ Here they outline many things that need to be done. But note the language- "Purism’s goal is to publish a Free Software implementation ... as soon as an implementation is available." But who is responsible for implementing it?

[1] https://puri.sm/road-to-fsf-ryf-endorsement-and-beyond/ Note that the FSF hasn't actually endorsed them yet, although this page is supposed to convince you that they're awful close. Why not wait until they're actually endorsed?

So what does a Purism laptop actually give me? A kill-switch and the warm feelies.

There is value in releasing a security-oriented laptop, pre-configured and tested to work with Linux. However their marketing spiel is disingenuous.

Hacking [breaking boundaries, making the seemingly impossible possible by pure force of will] is the archetypal example of this. Obviously, the discipline is not new and has been present for thousands of years, any sort of artistic/creative process encapsulates it.

The arrival of cyberspace however and its subsumption of more and more aspects of our everyday lives acts as a positive feedback loop. What was unthinkable or even heretical 20-30 years ago is now routine.

In a sense, we are witnessing a new paradigm shift where the intermediate substrates (mind/inception to manifestation) are being dissolved and the feedback loop gets shorter.
> I refuse to call Trolling 'art'. We all know it isn't.

This is why I like a definition of art that is overly broad, so no one can get swept away and called not art. I don't want someone's real, actually creative efforts to be casually dismissed because it was lumped in with something that "isn't art."

No, Pokémon Go Can't Read Your Email
Well, this is a reason why YouTube itself may not be liable (if its practices were actually inconsistent with the CC license requirements), but a CC licensor could still file takedown requests to YouTube or lawsuits against another person who reposted a CC-licensed video on YouTube. If the CC license didn't permit YouTube's practices, someone who's not the copyright holder wouldn't have been entitled under the CC license to grant YouTube the license they purported to.
That was rather dissmissive... not even a canned "for whatever reason, this request is out of scope" message for the WONTFIX status.
