    1. Successful Secretary Presented by Royal Office Typewriters. A Thomas Craven Film Corporation Production, 1966. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If5b2FiDaLk.

      "Mother the mail"

      gendered subservience

      "coding boobytraps"


      "I think you'll like the half sheet better. It is faster." —Mr. Typewriter, timestamp

      A little bit of the tone of "HAL" from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). This is particularly suggestive as H.A.L. was a one letter increment from I.B.M. and the 1966 Royal 660 was designed to compete with IBM's Selectric

      This calm voice makes suggestions to a secretary while H.A.L. does it for a male astronaut (a heroic figure of the time period). Suddenly the populace feels the computer might be a bad actor.

      "We're living in an electric world, more speed and less effort."—Mr. Typewriter<br /> (techno-utopianism)

    1. The answers you seek are difficult ones. The internet isn't free, so someone somewhere along the chain will need to pay for the content. As consumers we pay for internet access, and may sometimes pay for premium content (news site subscriptions, Patreon, etc.) but usually the content that we consume is free to us. Instead, it's the ad services that are paying. The internet content being "free" to consumers can really be a great thing, and equalize the playing field for people of different means. But it does come with its issues.
    2. What they say is this is due to is new EU policies about messenger apps. I'm not in the EU. I reckon it's really because there's a new Messenger desktop client for Windows 10, which does have these features. Downloading the app gives FB access to more data from your machine to sell to companies for personalized advertising purposes.

    1. Google claims this new API addresses FLoC’s serious privacy issues. Unfortunately, it does anything but. The Topics API only touches the smallest, most minor privacy issues in FLoC, while leaving its core intact. At issue is Google’s insistence on sharing information about people’s interests and behaviors with advertisers, trackers, and others on the Web that are hostile to privacy.
    1. If a site you visit queries the Topics API, it may learn of this interest from Chrome and decide to serve you an advert about bonds or retirement funds. It also means websites can fetch your online interests straight from your browser.

      The Topics API is worst than 3rd-parties cookies, anyone can query a user ad profile:

      ```js // document.browsingTopics() returns an array of BrowsingTopic objects. const topics = await document.browsingTopics();

      // Get data for an ad creative. const response = await fetch('https://ads.example/get-creative', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }, body: JSON.stringify(topics) });

      // Get the JSON from the response. const creative = await response.json();

      // Display the ad. (or not) ```

    1. A spec to optimize ad targeting (respectful of privacy, they say... 😂🤣).

      Fuck you Google with your dystopian API:

      ```js // document.browsingTopics() returns an array of BrowsingTopic objects. const topics = await document.browsingTopics();

      // Get data for an ad creative. const response = await fetch('https://ads.example/get-creative', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }, body: JSON.stringify(topics) });

      // Get the JSON from the response. const creative = await response.json();

      // Display the ad. (or not) ```

    1. On-device ad auctions to serve remarketing and custom audiences, without cross-site third-party tracking.

      Naming a thing with a meaning opposite to what the named thing is...

      Google is insatiable when it regards to accessing users private data. Let's block that bullshit.

    1. birnstiel commented on Mar 17, 2015 Thanks! The export script only returns the bibcodes, not the full entries. Is there a way to query all those bib codes? The ADS 2.0 search seems to support only one bibcode: search.
      • QUESTION?
    1. Solarsoft IDL
    2. NOTE: the query part of URL (i.e., after "query?") is restricted to 1000 characters. This effectively limits the number of bibcodes you can specify in one query to about 40. The ADS API webpage mentions a "bigquery" alternative option, but I couldn't get this to work.
      • ADS API: bigquery parameter
    3. https://api.adsabs.harvard.edu/v1/search/query?bibcode=2015ApJ...799..218Y&fl=title However, it's necessary to specify your ADS key for this to work. With the Unix curl command, the query is: curl -H "Authorization: Bearer [KEY GOES HERE]" \\ "https://api.adsabs.harvard.edu/v1/search/query?bibcode=2015ApJ...799..218Y&fl=title"
      • ADS API: needs API key!
    1. APIs for Scholarly Resources What is an API? API stands for application programming interface. An API is a protocol that allows a user to query a resource and retrieve and download data in a machine-readable format.  Researchers sometimes use APIs to download collections of texts, such as scholarly journal articles, so they can perform automated text mining on the corpus they've downloaded. Here is a simple tutorial that explains what an API is.  Below are some APIs that are available to researchers. Some are open to the public, while others are available according to the terms of Temple University Libraries' subscriptions. Many require you to create an API key, which is a quick and free process.   How do I Use APIs? You can create a simple query in the address bar in a web browser. However, a more complex query generally requires using a programming language. Commonly used languages for querying APIs are Python and R. (R is the language used in the R software.) The examples given in the documentation for the APIs listed below typically do not include sample programming code; they only explain how the data is structured in order to help users write a query.

      • GOOD LIST in legible format
    1. karnesky commented on Sep 1, 2013 A few things to note here: arXiv does have preprints, but a lot of these are linked to journal articles & some people use it as a reprint server. If an arXiv record has a DOI, I would suggest (strongly) that it should be typed as a journal article. We may even just use the ADS link, which seems to have a great BibTeX-formatted record for most eprints (though I'm torn on doing that). NASA ADS and most others classify arXiv eprints as journal articles anyway. Zotero will import any of those as journal articles, so there might be a case to import all arXiv eprints as if they were journal articles
      • ok
    1. However these fields are not filled automatically by zotero when importing from arxiv, instead a Report is created with all three fields (Archive, Loc. in Archive, Call number) empty
      • OK: doesnt work, because:
      • arxiv.js import doesnt fill these fields
      • ADS.js import, doesnt
    2. According to the biblatex manual ftp://bay.uchicago.edu/CTAN/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf section 3.11.7, arxivprefix is an alias for eprinttype and primaryclass is an alias for eprintclass.
      • BIBLATEX: extended fields
      • the are alias
    3. uses in general the fields archivePrefix, eprint and primaryClass

    1. Adstex (Github, PyPI), written by Yao-Yuan Mao, allows you to bypass downloading BibTeX or other paper metadata to a master local database. Instead, you write your paper using TeX and cite commands as normal, then run adstex on the TeX document. The tool checks your paper for any cite commands, queries ADS, and downloads the necessary BibTeX entries to a .bib file for the paper.

      latex

    1. For first author + year citation keys, by default adstex would only search the astronomy database on NASA ADS. However, you can use --include-physics to include the ADS physics database.

      ok

    1. SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System which (for the uninitiated) is a Digital Library portal for researchers in astronomy and physics, operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) under a NASA grant. The ADS maintains three bibliographic databases containing more than 14.0 million records covering publications in Astronomy and Astrophysics, Physics, and (of course) the arXiv e-prints. In addition to maintaining its bibliographic corpus, the ADS tracks citations and other information, which means that it is an important tool for evaluating publication impact.

      good info

    1. To complicate things further, papers submitted to the arXiv as preprints are indexed on ADS as preprints and only appear as journal articles when they are published

      arXiv-->preprints in ADS

    2. ADS also assigns a unique bibliometric code it generates itself (based on the metadata it obtains from Crossref).

      the BIBCODE

    3. When we publish a paper at the Open Journal of Astrophysics we assign a DOI and deposit it and related metadata to a system called CrossRef which is accessed by ADS to populate bibliographic fields in its own database

      Journal-->CrossRef-->ADS

    1. We currently provide a form-based interface to the resolver as a prototype system simply for the purpose of allowing publishers to test its capabilities and offer suggestions or criticism.

      objetivo

    2. The resolver processes the input strings by performing the following steps: Reference parsing, i.e. identifying the different tokens listed in reference entry. Reference identification, i.e. using the parsed tokens to generate the unique bibliographic code identifier for the reference. Reference verification, i.e. querying the ADS database to verify the existence of the reference.

      Automatizacion de los 3 pasos 1-parser: like cv2bib->fichero regexps.txt 2-generar BIBCODE 3-consutla si existe

    3. Examples of references that are correctly parsed and identified include

      ejemplos formatos validos

    1. https://adsabs.harvard.edu/doi/DOI

      link por DOI

    2. https://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/bibcode

      link por BIBCODE

    3. The URL abs is available for users to directly access full records in the ADS Abstract Service by bibliographic code (see Building Bibcodes above). abs may be used to link directly to our abstracts from outside of the Abstract Service.

      links to full record

    4. The Reference Resolver allows users and information providers to query the ADS databases to verify the existence and availability of a particular bibliographic reference. The resolver attempts to be as flexible as possible in parsing reference strings and identifying the respective records, so that different citation formats are supported.

      ok

    5. To automate the generation of bibcodes from references we provide a Bibliographic Reference Resolver

      generar BIBCODE

    6. To verify that a bibcode is correct, you can use the Bibcode Verification Utility

      verificar BIBCODE

    1. Abstracts that we receive directly from the publishers and the original authors (called "author" abstracts) are instead a faithful and accurate reproduction of text that was published in the paper's abstract (except for math and non-ASCII symbols, of course).

      abstracts from plublisher

    2. Some of the abstracts in the ADS database (most abstracts in the time span 1975-1995) were given to us by the STI program at NASA, which in most cases rewrote the abstracts to avoid infringing the publisher's copyrights, often shortening the author's original abstract. In general, there is no way to be certain whether an abstract which originated from STI has been rewritten or not.

      different abstracts content

    3. The ADS is primarily an abstract service, however when we know that a certain article has been published online, we do provide a link to the fulltext, both in the available items column (as an "E" or "F") as well as at the top of the page displaying the abstract. If we do not provide that link, we do not have any further information.

      links to fulltext

    4. Starting in 2005, we have begun integrating citations obtained from parsing the reference sections of e-prints from the ArXiv.

      ADS-->arXiv

    5. In addition, references may be incomplete due to our inability to match them with 100% accuracy (e.g. in press, private communications, author errors, some conference series, etc.). Anyone using the citations for analysis of publishing records should keep this in mind.

      References de un item

    6. In October 2007 we gained access to CrossRef's metadata, which includes references from many articles in the physical sciences

      ADS-->CrossRef

    7. In 1999 we started extracting reference lists from the full-text of papers available in the ADS article service or provided to us by the journal publishers

      ADS history

    8. How up-to-date is the Abstract Service? There should not be any significant delay in getting a paper from one of the major journals into our system, which is updated weekly. Records which we receive directly from journal publishers typically go into the system on or before the publication date.

      weekly update

    9. Starting in 2007 we have been able to further complete our coverage of historical records thanks to our access to CrossRef, which collects and makes available metadata records for most of the content produced by Scientific journals.

      ADS uses CrossRef

    1. The ADS FAQ and the ADS BibTeX guide list several options to get the journal macros to work. See also Undefined control sequence BibTex.

      see ADS

    2. The ADS database uses custom macros for certain field values. For common journals, a .bib entry downloaded from ADS will not contain journal = {Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society}, or journal = {MNRAS}, instead it will deliver a .bib file with journal = {\mnras},

      ADS==abbreviation for journal!

    3. With ADS the family names are incorrectly braced.

    1. The IAB Transparency and Consent Framework supports both Server-specific consent and Global consent. The former is given by the consumer to a Publisher or Vendor to access their browser and/or perform the requested processing purposes where a Publisher or vendor requires consent for their site

      Consent for the publisher to "access their browser"? Hmm. The Web is a pull-based, client/server, request/response model, not a push model. So it seems odd to me to talk about a publisher needing consent to "access" the user's browser. It is the user's browser (user agent) that made the HTTP request to the publisher's web server. Doesn't the publisher have the right, then, to send a response containing whatever content they wish, since the user requested the content? If the client wishes to filter/block/exclude some of that content, it seems like they have that right, but it seems the responsibility for that is on the client side, not the server side.

      Not that I like ads, but I wonder how much of these new policies are based on a misunderstanding of how web technologies actually work....

      Maybe the distinction is that the publisher of whom you requested content may dynamically load content (ads) from 3rd parties that the user did not specifically request content from? That too is just how the web works, and it is the publisher who controls what other content to load from other domains/sources. But it still may be a worthwhile distinction...?

  22. Mar 2020
    1. How do relevant ads help pay for content and services? Advertising is the engine that powers much of the content and services that consumers enjoy online. More relevant ads get more clicks, and advertisers pay more for these ads, allowing content and services providers to continue to operate without charging visitors to their sites.
    1. It wouldn’t mean an end to being able to target ads online. Contextual targeting doesn’t require personal data — and has been used successfully by the likes of non-tracking search engine DuckDuckGo for years (and profitably so). It would just mean an end to the really creepy, stalkerish stuff. The stuff consumers hate — which also serves up horribly damaging societal effects, given that the mass profiling of internet users enables push-button discrimination and exploitation of the vulnerable at vast scale.
    2. self-regulation is a core part of why adtech is in the abject mess it’s in.
    1. The deceitful obfuscation of commercial intention certainly runs all the way through the data brokering and ad tech industries that sit behind much of the ‘free’ consumer Internet. Here consumers have plainly been kept in the dark so they cannot see and object to how their personal information is being handed around, sliced and diced, and used to try to manipulate them.
    2. From an ad tech perspective, the concern is that manipulation doesn’t work when it’s obvious. And the goal of targeted advertising is to manipulate people’s decisions based on intelligence about them gleaned via clandestine surveillance of their online activity (so inferring who they are via their data). This might be a purchase decision. Equally it might be a vote.
    1. there are third-party cookies, such as those placed by advertisers to see what you’re interested in and in turn serve you ads — even when you leave the original site you visited. (This is how ads follow you around the internet.)

    1. ADS shares those matches with us via its API, and we use that information to populate DOI and JREF fields on arXiv papers.

      I've always wondered if this were true. I continue to wonder if arXiv uses other sources of eprint-DOI matches to corroborate or append to those from ADS.
