    1. he franchise began as a series of animated short films that originally ran from 1930 to 1969, alongside its spin-off series Merrie Melodies,

      Fascinating insight.

    1. Joe Leydon of Variety said "The deft editing and overall technical polish – as well as a generous travel budget – go a long way toward making the pic an attention-grabber" but that "the pic comes off as a cavalcade of conspiracy theories, psycho-politico conjectures and incendiary labeling," making it "highly unlikely that anyone predisposed to championing Obama would be won over". He also stated, "there's no gainsaying the value of '2016' as a sort of Cliffs Notes precis of the conservative case against the re-election of our current U.S. president."[24] Ben Mankiewicz stated, "I think [the film] is another reminder of how many people in this country find Obama so shockingly unlikesome that they are seemingly ready to believe the most nonsensical theories about him."[12]

      Obama "shockingly unlikesome"?

    1. The director said the fiscal success of 2016: Obama's America allowed the filmmakers to raise financing for America.

      I've seen this claim twice; it's clearly backwards, a case of poor editing since "America" was made before "2016". Oops, wrong: "2016: Obama's America is a 2012 American right-wing conspiracy propaganda film written and directed by Dinesh D'Souza and John Sullivan. The film is based on D'Souza's books The Roots of Obama's Rage and Obama's America: Unmasking the American Dream, which are both, like the film, right-wing polemics against then-president Barack Obama. Through interviews and reenactments, the film compares the similarities of the lives of D'Souza and Obama, as D'Souza alleges that early influences on Obama were affecting his domestic policy decisions."

    2. Most professional film critics called the film poorly-made and partisan. Political commentators analyzed D'Souza's rebuttal of Howard Zinn's criticisms, the filmmaker's treatment of Saul Alinsky, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and D'Souza's depiction of his own criminal prosecution. Conservative commentators expressed a mix of full and qualified support for the documentary and D'Souza's intentions.

      Re 2014 film: America: Imagine the World Without Her

    1. The natural reactor of Oklo has been used to check if the atomic fine-structure constant α might have changed over the past 2 billion years. That is because α influences the rate of various nuclear reactions. For example, 149Sm captures a neutron to become 150Sm, and since the rate of neutron capture depends on the value of α, the ratio of the two samarium isotopes in samples from Oklo can be used to calculate the value of α from 2 billion years ago. Several studies have analysed the relative concentrations of radioactive isotopes left behind at Oklo, and most have concluded that nuclear reactions then were much the same as they are today, which implies that α was the same too.

      what a gift to natural history.

    1. In 1956, Kuroda was the first to propose that natural self-sustaining nuclear chain reactions were possible. Such a reactor was discovered in September 1972 in the Oklo Mines of Gabon.

    1. Unable to bear being a servant to them, Sancho ran away to the Montagu House in Blackheath, London where John Montagu, 2nd Duke of Montagu taught him how to read and encouraged Sancho's budding interest in literature. After spending some time as a butler in the household, Sancho left and started his own business as a shopkeeper, while also starting to write and publish various essays, plays and books.

    1. aim to make Europe a "World Partner" should be taken to read "Europe as a World Power!", and likened it to Orwell's Eurasia. The group also suggested that the germ of Orwell's superstates could already be found in organisations such as not only the EU, but ASEAN and FTAA. Further, the group suggested that the long wars then being waged by American forces against enemies they helped originally create, such as in Baluchistan, were also signs of a germinal 1984-style superstate

    2. The perpetual conflict among Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia takes place over a large disputed area, bordering the three states, which includes Northern and Central Africa, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, the unstable Eurasian-Eastasian boundary, the Arctic ice pack and the islands in the Indian and Pacific Ocean.

    1. The dramatic action of the plays does point to the presence of a skene or background scenery of some description, the strongest evidence of which is from the Oresteia that requires a number of entrances and exits from a palace door.[17] Whether this was a temporary or permanent wooden structure or simply a tent remains unclear since there is no physical evidence for a skene building until the Periclean phase.

      How would permanent structure vs. temporary wooden sets affect the storytelling dynamics?

    2. constructive proofs in analysis may ensure witness extraction, in such a way that working within the constraints of the constructive methods may make finding witnesses to theories easier than using classical methods.

      Claude, you witnessing this?

    1. To an intuitionist, the claim that an object with certain properties exists is a claim that an object with those properties can be constructed. Any mathematical object is considered to be a product of a construction of a mind, and therefore, the existence of an object is equivalent to the possibility of its construction.

    1. The rules of basketball are the rules and regulations that govern the play, officiating, equipment and procedures of basketball. While many of the basic rules are uniform throughout the world, variations do exist. Most leagues or governing bodies in North America, the most important of which are the National Basketball Association and NCAA, formulate their own rules. In addition, the Technical Commission of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) determines rules for international play; most leagues outside North America use the complete FIBA ruleset.

    1. Badminton is a racquet sport played using racquets to hit a shuttlecock across a net. Although it may be played with larger teams, the most common forms of the game are "singles" (with one player per side) and "doubles" (with two players per side). Badminton is often played as a casual outdoor activity in a yard or on a beach; professional games are played on a rectangular indoor court. Points are scored by striking the shuttlecock with the racquet and landing it within the other team's half of the court, within the set boundaries.

    1. The interdisciplinary nature of information science continues to expand as new technological developments and social practices emerge, creating innovative research frontiers that bridge traditional disciplinary boundaries.

      El carácter interdisciplinario de la ciencia de la información a avanzado con la tecnología y las nuevas prácticas sociales, (que el usuario es su principal objetivo) generando campos de investigación creativos e innovadores que integran y superan las fronteras.

    2. Transition to modern information science

      A lo largo de la historia la Ciencia de la Información ha requerido cambiar y adaptarse a las revoluciones sociales y tecnológicas características de cada tiempo, como desde la antigüedad para su almacenamiento, desde la imprenta para la difusión y para hoy en internet, cosa que no ha sido sencilla en ninguna de las tres situaciones, relacionado con eso varios personajes caracteristicos han visto la necesidad de aportar a esta ciencia para el desarrollo de la humanidad en los diferentes sectores de las sociedades pero principalmente en la ciencia en general, por su forma de difusión y comunicación.

    3. Information science operates busily on an ocean of commonsense practical applications

      El manejo de la información no solo se relega a una forma practica sino que en ella recae la la responsabilidad de dirigir las dinámicas que se ejercen con la información misma y al rededor de esta, calificar a la ciencia de la información como una disciplina meramente practica ignora todos los aspectos que la conforman que se ven presentes en organizaciones de todas las indoles y todas los tamaños alrededor del mundo

    4. nformation science methodologies are applied across numerous domains, reflecting the discipline's versatility and relevance. Key application areas include:

      Hay muchos campos actualmente donde se aplica la ciencia de la información tal como menciona este apartado que abarca la mayoría sino todos los aspectos de la vida actualmente, tanto a nivel personal como a nivel organizacional o de estado/gobierno, en calidad de usuario y proveedor o comunidad para comunidad. Al tener una presencia tan indiscutible hace que la profundización de sus procesos e investgaciones generen valor dentro de la misma disciplina tanto como para los que se benefician de los resultados.

    5. Impact of social media on people and industry

      Este apartado tiene un poder y peso bastante grandes. El impacto de las redes sociales en las personas y en la industria es algo de doble filo, si bien se mencionan cosas tales cómo que "el impacto de la opinión pública puede extenderse de maneras inimaginables" y que las personas están interesadas en las nuevas formas en cómo se recibe la información, hay que tener en cuenta que esta misma información queda expuesta en la red (a veces hasta sin consentimiento ni conocimiento de las personas), Facebook y su creador se han vuelto inmersos en varias polémicas cómo ya sabemos, pero es este el riesgo de manejar datos sensibles, los algoritmos moldean a las personas, las redes sociales vuelven dependientes a estas personas, si bien la forma en cómo nos comunicamos y consumimos información ha crecido a pasos gigantes cabe recalcar que vamos perdiendo humanidad e identidad propia a base del consumismo provisto por la industria

    6. Dissemination has historically been interpreted as unilateral communication of information. With the advent of the internet, and the explosion in popularity of online communities, social media has changed the information landscape in many respects, and creates both new modes of communication and new types of information",[36] changing the interpretation of the definition of dissemination. The nature of social networks allows for faster diffusion of information than through organizational sources.[37] The internet has changed the way we view, use, create, and store information; now it is time to re-evaluate the way we share and spread it.

      Si bien, se define la comunicación de la información cómo algo "unilateral" -que está muy bien, dependiendo desde que arista se vea- cambiaría esto (Incluso con la mención "desde antes de la llegada del Internet") al hecho de que esto puede llegar a modificarse cómo algo BILATERAL en algunos o en la gran mayoría de casos.

      Un caso puntual sería, donde un individuo difunde información y esta llega a un receptor o un espacio receptivo que está a la espera de este conocimiento para seguir difundiéndolo interactúa con este primer individuo y su conocimiento compartido creando y generando el famoso "intercambio de saberes".

      Esto nace de que no es que haya un solo creador de conocimiento que simplemente se encarga de difundirlo y ya, sino que en su lugar, aparecería un agente externo que lo recibe e intercambia conocimiento con este

    7. Information science[1][2][3] (abbreviated as infosci) is an academic field that is primarily concerned with the analysis, collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval, movement, dissemination, and protection of information.[4]

      Si bien es una concepción general muy contundente y clara, desde un punto subjetivo no deja de ser susceptible a cambios y redefiniciones dependiendo de la persona y el campo desde el que se explique, ya que esto es un campo de acción tan amplio que no se puede limitar a una simple (o única) definición

    8. Históricamente, la ciencia de la información ha evolucionado como unacampo transdisciplinario, que se nutren y contribuyen a diversos ámbitos.

      Esto es algo completamente cierto que muchos de nosotros podemos llegar a olvidar o no tener en cuenta y es que se vive esa cooperación o integración de varios campos de acción, conocimiento o profesiones que permiten buscar soluciones más integrales en cooperativo

    9. No debe confundirse con teoría de la información , tecnología de la información , ingeniería de la información , ciencia de datos , informática , bibliotecología o sistemas de información (disciplina) .

      Si bien podría considerarse algo "básico" no puedo dejar pasar que es un bien necesario el hecho que es bueno eso de aclararle de forma inicial, a la audiencia y/o lectores que no hay que confundir o tergiversar conceptos por más parecidos o afines que sean.

    10. La ciencia de la información [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] (abreviada como infosci ) es un campo académico que se ocupa principalmente del análisis , la recopilación, la clasificación , la manipulación, el almacenamiento, la recuperación , el movimiento, la difusión y la protección de la información

      A demás de lo que se menciona sobre la ciencia de la informacion, agregaria que es una necesidad del ser humano para su desarrollo integral.

    11. Information organization: library science, archival science, documentation science, knowledge representation, ontologies, organization studies

      La gestión de estas áreas en conjunto, permiten que la información sea accesible, confiable y útil para la sociedad.

    12. and creates both new modes of communication and new types of information",

      Las nuevas tecnologías aportan en gran medida a la investigación científica porque permite que los académicos lleven a cabo proyectos de forma remota y, así, culminarlos en un periodo de tiempo más corto que antes.

    13. Many universities have entire colleges, departments or schools devoted to the study of information science, while numerous information-science scholars work in disciplines such as communication, healthcare, computer science, law, and sociology. Several institutions have formed an I-School Caucus (see List of I-Schools), but numerous others besides these also have comprehensive information specializations.

      Podríamos considerar que se está hablando de comunicación científica, en específico, R&D collaboration (investigación y desarrollo). Ya que, se habla de varias instituciones trabajando juntas para lograr el avance de la ciencia.

    14. Information science focuses on understanding problems from the perspective of the stakeholders involved and then applying information and other technologies as needed. In other words, it tackles systemic problems first rather than individual pieces of technology within that system.

      Sea en el contexto social u organizacional existe un factor relevante que abordar en esta ciencia: la ética. Es la capacidad de lograr la integridad personal y laboral en nuestro oficio.

    15. Cultural and social contexts:

      Esta ciencia es trasversal, los científicos de la información se adaptan a los entornos de estudio para integrarse y promover el conocimiento.

    16. Core foundations

      Los elementos centrales de una ciencia son de vital importancia, debido a que consideran su componente ontológico; además, puede ayudar a que esta evolucione, rompiendo paradigmas.

    17. Information science[1][2][3] (abbreviated as infosci) is an academic field that is primarily concerned with the analysis, collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval, movement, dissemination, and protection of information.

      Agregaría a esta afirmación que la información deber ser también legitimizada, llegar hasta su fuente y complementarla con su contexto para así acercarnos desde un perspectiva óptima.

    18. Science or discipline

      Este debate me trae recuerdos de mi primer semestre, ya que fue uno de los primeros temas que vi en la asignatura de ciencia de la información, en ese entonces una de las conclusiones que fue nuestro objeto de estudio es la información y todo lo relacionado a esta.

    19. Human dimensions: human-computer interaction, cognitive psychology, information behavior, social epistemology,[6] philosophy of information, information ethics and science and technology studies

      Aquí se encapsula lo que había mencionado sobre la importancia de la interacción con los usuarios y como somos una disciplina del servicio, sin embargo debo admitir que me sorprende algunas de las áreas incluidas, como es el caso de la psicología cognitiva, que a primera instancia me la imaginaria más en otros campos.

    20. Technical and computationa

      Efectivamente, el componente técnico y computacional es muy importante, y no solo es nuestro campo, el avance tecnológico nos obliga adaptarnos a esas nuevas tendencias o correr el riesgo de ser obsoletos, sin embargo no se la da la importancia que se le debe en la carrera.

    21. The objective of this study is to create, replace, improve, or understand the information systems.

      Considero esta definición como correcta, sin embargo en considero que también es necesario agregar que somos una disciplina del servicio a los usuarios y por lo tanto nuestras interacciones con el publico fuera de la unidades de información es de igual forma importante.

    22. Information science

      La ciencia de la información es una disciplina interdisciplinaria que estudia cómo se produce, organiza, preserva, recupera y utiliza la información para transformar conocimiento y facilitar la toma de decisiones en cualquier ámbito humano. Es decir, no se limita a acumular datos: busca darles sentido, garantizar su accesibilidad y asegurar que circulen de manera ética y útil en la sociedad.

    23. Disciplines and related fields

      En pocas palabras, la ciencia de la información ha ido creciendo como un puente que une distintas disciplinas, convirtiéndose en un campo vivo y adaptable, capaz de transformarse según lo que la sociedad y la tecnología van necesitando.

    24. La ciencia de la información, a grandes rasgos, es una disciplina que se encarga de gestionar datos, documentos e información para que no se pierdan y puedan cumplir una función útil, más allá de simplemente almacenarlos, se trata de otorgarles valor y establecer un ciclo que permita organizarlos, analizarlos y utilizarlos con un propósito definido, de este modo, la información deja de verse como algo sin importancia y se transforma en un recurso con poder, que requiere procesos propios para su adecuada gestión y aprovechamiento.

    25. Considero que un gran campo de la Ciencia de la Información esta movido por los avances tecnológicos y como los profesionales en esta área nos adaptamos. esta tecnología. A las técnicos computacionales, la ciencia de datos y la analítica. Eso mezclado con una interacción entre personas y organizaciones las cuales ya tienen un sistema de información.

    26. La ciencia de la información[1][2][3] (abreviada como infosci) es un campo académico que se ocupa principalmente del análisis, recopilación, clasificación, manipulación, almacenamiento, recuperación, movimiento, difusión y protección de la información. [4] Los profesionales dentro y fuera del campo participan en el estudio de la aplicación y uso del conocimiento en las organizaciones. Además, examinan la interacción entre personas, organizaciones y cualquier sistema de información existente. El objetivo de este estudio es crear, reemplazar, mejorar o comprender los sistemas de información.

      Para mi la Ciencia de la Información es un campo interdisciplinario que se encarga de analizar cómo se genera, recolecta, organiza, almacena, recupera y transmite la información.

      En lugar de centrarse solo en los cables o el código , se enfoca en el vínculo entre las personas y los datos como tal objetivo principal es asegurar que la información sea accesible y útil para quien la necesite.

    27. Es una ciencia interdisciplinaria

      Opino que es importante tener en que es una ciencia interdisciplinaria interdisciplinaria porque integra conocimientos y métodos de diversas áreas para comprender, organizar y facilitar el acceso a la información, como las disciplinas que aquí se mencionan

    28. Social media's power to facilitate topics

      Las conexiones en redes sociales ayudan a esparcir la información a mayor velocidad, pero es claro que también es un medio de desinformación y nosotros como bibliotecarios debemos saber filtrar dicha información cuando se esparce sin control y dar la información real. Aunque es una tarea difícil este tema debe estar de manera principal para poder solucionar la desinformación.

    29. The discipline of documentation science, which marks the earliest theoretical foundations of modern information science, emerged in the late part of the 19th century in Europe together with several more scientific indexes whose purpose was to organize scholarly literature. Many information science historians cite Paul Otlet and Henri La Fontaine as the fathers of information science with the founding of the International Institute of Bibliography (IIB) in 1895.[31] A second generation of European Documentalists emerged after the Second World War, most notably Suzanne Briet.[32] However, "information science" as a term is not popularly used in academia until sometime in the latter part of the 20th century.[33]

      A través de la historia ya habían vestigios de una ciencia para organizar y salvaguardar la información. Solo que no se llamaba como actualmente la conocemos, pero como toda rama comenzó como una necesidad y se fue especializando con el tiempo y dándole forma a lo que actualmente hoy conocemos.

    30. Scope and approach

      Somos una carrera que observa todo a su alrededor y comienza a dar mejoras de todo ello según enfoques que sean necesarios, ya sean desarrollos en tecnología o en el ámbito humano, podria decirse que somos un árbol de vida que mantiene cada rama y la nutre.

    31. interdisciplinary

      Manteniendo esa línea interdisciplinar y estemos involucrados en todas las áreas del conocimiento, estamos un poco aislados por el poco conocimiento e importancia que nos dan, y mi experiencia dicta que los profesionales a cargo son quienes no saben dar su voz en las instituciones. Y cada nuevo conocimiento y nueva rama que surge nos involucraremos en dicha disciplina.

    32. transdisciplinary field

      En este aspecto siento que esta palabra es muy fuerte y muchas personas están llevando estos términos muy allá olvidando los campos ya establecidos y que aun falta por mejorar, cuando uno quiere abarcar todo al tiempo al final no hace nada bien.

    33. Information science

      Creo que mas allá del termino lo que significa nuestra carrera, no debemos limitarla a eso, para cada profesional tiene un significado diferente este termino desde las experiencias vividas y desde su labor profesional, para algunos puede ser mas enfocado a lo social y las bibliotecas, para otros mas enfocado a memoria y cultura con el archivo, para otros solo tener un titulo y creerse mas por saber sobre palabras bonitas con significados perfectos. pero en mi humilde opinión la carrera y mas este termino es el sentir de la profesión y como cada uno la aborde desde sus distintos enfoques. Y son igual de validos.

    34. interaction between people, organizations, and any existing information systems.

      Considero que la preocupación por las personas, diferencia a la ciencia de la información de otras disciplinas como la ciencia de datos, la ingeniería de sistemas, etc,

    1. In response to increased military skirmishes and souring relations, indigenous Quechan and Kumeyaay bands responded by raiding ranchos, an attack on San Diego in June 1842, and cutting off all overland lines of trade and communication between the former Alta California and the rest of Mexico through a blockade from the Colorado River to the Pacific Ocean along what is today the California-Baja California border,[57] which would come to fuel miscommunication in Northern California.

      pretty epic of the natives

    1. Star has worked to develop ways of understanding how people communicate about infrastructure, and has helped develop research methods aimed to examine the role infrastructure plays in mediated human activitie

      Me hace pensar en las formas de comunicación que actualmente usamos los seres humanos para comunicarnos . Frente al papel que desempeñan las infraestructuras de comunicación, la pregunta que me surge es ¿Cómo estas infraestructuras pueden acercar o alejar las relaciones humanas, es decir, que tan significativo puede ser el grado de comunicación por medio de estas infraestructuras?

    2. In this article, Star and Griesemer analyze the formative years of the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology by expanding the model of interessement developed by Latour and Callon, to form their concept of boundary objects

      ¿Podría esto tener relación con la teoría del actor-Red y la agencia de los objetos? "Actantes"

    3. She was also known for developing the concept of boundary objects

      Los objetos frontera son artefactos flexibles, compartidos, que permiten la colaboración entre grupos sociales y comunidades. Ejs: repositorios, mapas, planos,

    4. Star and Griesmer initially defined boundary objects as “objects which are both plastic enough to adapt to local needs and the constraints of the several parties employing them, yet robust enough to maintain a common identity across sites...The objects may by abstract or concrete.

      Objetos circundantes, potente concepto para anclar y reconectar el patrimonio material e inmaterial

    5. the study of infrastructure often entails examining things that seem commonplace, those everyday items have widespread consequences for humans and human interaction.[1]

      Aquí se nota la influencia de Latour

    7. While doing research with Carl Hewitt about the scientific community's decision-making process as a metaphor for artificial intelligence

      Esto se conecta con el texto de Pasquineli: la genealogía de la IA y la inteligencia comunitaria o social

    8. She taught a variety of subjects including: social analysis of technology and organizations, computers and society, research methods and gender and technology.

      En el tema de género y tecnología, me pregunto si habrá considerado cuáles son las características de una tecnología feminista. Desde mi apreciación, la preoucpación por la materialidad del la infraestructura, sus usos y contextos puede ser profundamente feminista y quizás prefiguró mucho de ese campo

    1. Clinical significance

      Suggesting I'm a low A/BNP, high Vasopressin state: hypertension, arterial vasoconstriction, concentrated urine, hypokalemia, high pair bonding, dilated cardio hypertrophy. Low eGFR. Vasopressin associates with stress. Don't sweat. Sympathetic failure. Blurry vision, intraocular control. Na excretion plus sympathetic control is required for sweating.

      Vasopressin is reacting to high ECM osmolarity. Activating aquaporin channels for diH2O outflow, attempting to deconcentrate ECM interstitial spaces. Saline provides symptom improvement. Dex, B adrenergic, sympathetic activation improves symptoms. Missing ANP energy metabolic regulation?

      It kind of seems vasopressin is a cell flush and rebuild (anabolic, rest and digest program) mechanism allowing high pressure free osmotic flow compensation for permissive active transport. This theoretically would suppress high frequency passive channel signaling (ion signaling, thus especially cognition) due to prevention of high substrate osmotic gradients. If so, perhaps intracellular dysregulated/infected/stress would rapidly cause a UPR/ISR, then perhaps a synucleinopathy or taupathy, which rapidly cause intracellular hyperosmolor trash build up, especially upon exertion, which quickly activate H2O influx and cognition/sympathetic shutdown, the trash and damage activate PRRs activating an amplified and prolonged immune response and high intracellular swelling, and thus prolonged and deep cognition signaling suppression (drowsy, stupor, sleep, coma). Perhaps then excessive deregulation and repair causing excess sympathetic shutdown then causes sympathetic drive failure and is causal explanation for: central sleep apnea, ataxia, reward circuit, PFC impairment, anxiety, disassociation/schizophrenia, BPD, fear, thought disorder, ocular ataxia, inability to sweat, hypothalamic-brainstem homeostatic control, POTS, immune deficiency (huge because this is your repair system)

    1. the act of "observing" or "measuring" an object is irreversible, and no truth can be attributed to an object except according to the results of its measurement

      once an object is observed, then the object takes the shape of that state. but does will it stay in the state? if so, why? if not, why?

    1. In mass communication, digital media is any communication media that operates in conjunction with various encoded machine-readable data formats. Digital content can be created, viewed, distributed, modified, listened to, and preserved on a digital electronic device, including digital data storage media (in contrast to analog electronic media) and digital broadcasting.

      Webpage is not complex at all, but relatively simple and easy to understand. You have a term, and the definition right below it. Whats great here is that any other terms within the definition will include a hyperlink to understand that term as well. Making the flow process easier for consumers.

    2. Hard drives store information in binary form and so are considered a type of physical digital media.

      Furthermore, has great in picture descriptions to provide contexts to readers what is being shown, this is great accessible content. And also allows for users to translate the media to their preferred language.

    1. Gribbin, John, "Alone in the Milky Way: Why we are probably the only intelligent life in the galaxy", Scientific American, vol. 319, no. 3 (September 2018), pp. 94–99. "Is life likely to exist elsewhere in the [Milky Way] galaxy? Almost certainly yes, given the speed with which it appeared on Earth. Is another technological civilization likely to exist today? Almost certainly no, given the chain of circumstances that led to our existence. These considerations suggest that we are unique not just on our planet but in the whole Milky Way. And if our planet is so special, it becomes all the more important to preserve this unique world for ourselves, our descendants and the many creatures that call Earth home." (p. 99.)

    1. When he said that the whole meaning of a (clear) conception consists in the entire set of its practical consequences, he had in mind that a meaningful conception must have some sort of experiential "cash value", must somehow be capable of being related to some sort of collection of possible empirical observations under specifiable conditions.

      The term cash value here repeats the notion of iteration, of ratchet effect in perceiving truth / gaining knowledge. Like in a life insurance policy the cash value is a representation of what has been ratcheted up for future use.

    1. Ignác Semmelweis in 1847 argued for hand washing in maternity wards by doctors, and published a book about it. Was ridiculed for it and died 1865 as an outcast in an asylum.

    1. Hypothetically, under 12333 the NSA could target a single foreigner abroad. And hypothetically if, while targeting that single person, they happened to collect every single Gmail and every single Facebook message on the company servers not just from the one person who is the target, but from everyone—then the NSA could keep and use the data from those three billion other people. That’s called 'incidental collection.'

      Example of how EO12333 'can' be used: take all bigtech data as 'incidental' data around a legal foreign intelligence target.

    2. Executive Order 12333 has been regarded by the American intelligence community as a fundamental document authorizing the expansion of data collection activities.[9] The document has been employed by the National Security Agency as legal authorization for its collection of unencrypted information flowing through the data centers of internet communications giants Google and Yahoo!.[9]

      US intelligence see EO12333 as the primary ground for their data collection activities, such as collecting any unencrypted data that flows through bigtech data centers

    3. Part 2.3 permits collection, retention and dissemination of the following types of information along with several others. .mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}(c) Information obtained in the course of lawful foreign intelligence, counterintelligence, international narcotics or international terrorism investigation ...

    1. Main entry point[edit] Main article: Entry point As in C, C++, C#, Java, and Go, the entry point to a Kotlin program is a function named "main", which may be passed an array containing any command-line arguments. This is optional since Kotlin 1.3.[26] Perl, PHP, and Unix shell–style string interpolation is supported. Type inference is also supported.

      Kotlin had a mandatory, but now optional function main as entry point. Like C++ and Java

    2. The name is derived from Kotlin Island, a Russian island in the Gulf of Finland, near Saint Petersburg. Andrey Breslav, Kotlin's former lead designer, mentioned that the team decided to name it after an island, in imitation of the Java programming language which shares a name with the Indonesian island of Java

      Kotlin is named after a Russian Island in the Gulf of Finland, a nod to Java (Andrey Breslav, Kotlin's originator is Russian).

    3. On 7 May 2019, Google announced that the Kotlin programming language had become its preferred language for Android app developers.[7] Since the release of Android Studio 3.0 in October 2017, Kotlin has been included as an alternative to the standard Java compiler.

      Kotlin is Google's preferred programming language for Android apps since mid 2019. Is included in AndroidStudio
