    1. The directory structure of both of these packages follows the Million Song Dataset.

      root, subdir 1, subdir 2 = third, fourth, fifth character of msd_id (after 'TR')

    1. If we evaluate non-C major key annotations separately, we achieve a score of 0.84 - very close to the human-to-human baseline.

      If there is a C major key signature, most likely it was set by default and it is wrong.

    1. Key Signature

      I understand this meta message has two data bytes, but the second byte (minor, major) could have been replaced by a bit (as it may either be 0 or 1 only). Couldn't it have been defined as first data byte = root note, second data byte = one of seven modes (ionian, dorian, etc)?

    1. In Chile, the national telecom regulator ruled that this practice violated net neutrality laws and had to end by June 1, 2014.[3][4]

    1. if we stop treating them like the utility that they are, they can find ways to charge a lot more money.

      Yeah, but don't they also do it to save money? If they favor services hosted in their own networks (such as a Netflix CDN installed in their facilities), aren't they saving money by not paying peer or transit?

    2. The water company shouldn’t care whether you’re turning on a tap to wash dishes or to take a shower.The power company shouldn’t care whether you’re plugging in a TV or a toaster.

      But they both charge you based on how much you use. ISPs usually don't do that, or their transfer quotas are quite high.

    3. instinctively try to keep the call as short as possible, because they want to avoid the massive long distance fees historically associated with such calls, even though these no longer apply.

      Doesn't it make some sense that long distance calls cost more than short distance? The same way driving a longer distance means paying more tolls?

    4. imagine that a corporation purposefully delayed the introduction of email by a decade. What would be the total impact on the productivity of society?

      What are the real implications (poverty reduction, etc) of this delay in economy growth?

    5. But the “baby bells” wouldn’t stay divided for long. In 1997, they were able to start merging back together into a corporation even bigger than before the break-up.

      This reminds me of Mickey's broom in Disney's "Fantasia". Can I write "Mickey"? Or will I be sued by Disney Corporation?

      This seems to have been first implemented by Tim Berners-Lee, when he was trying to popularize his World Wide Web and Web browser (according to himself, in his "Weaving the Web" 1999 book).

    1. some people don’t like the idea that anyone can essentially copy their blog post or website and then add a layer of criticism to it without their permission.

      Are they "copying" the websites?

    1. I wouldn’t even know this extra layer existed over my blog if one of the women annotating it hadn’t tweeted the link.

      Naturally, as she wouldn't know someone was commenting about her article in Twitter, reddit, etc, if she didn't know those sites existed.

    1. catch-22: the utility of the service requires a certain scale.

      catch-22: paradoxical situation from which an individual cannot escape because of contradictory rules or limitations.

    1. unspoken codes of conduct that apply to any annotation that’s created within that group.

      Why unspoken? Couldn't they be advertised in the group's page to make sure everyone is aware of them?

    2. Rufus Pollock and Philip Schmidt’s joint grant while active Shuttleworth Foundation grantees allowed Nick to focus for a time on that project.

      Open Knowledge Foundation

    1. the architectures of extension/plugin technologies are user-agent specific.

      I'm still not sure what the WebExtensions API is, but this may have been sent before its (widespread?) use

    1. A pre-print is the Author's version of the Article before peer-review has taken place ("Pre-Print").

      And what happens with versions before acceptance but after peer-review has started?

    1. a expensas de aumentar los tiempos de espera en los otros cruces.

    1. It returns a collection of paths. Each path in the collection describes the shape of the marker. For example, if the marker is a circle, the path would be that returned by mpl.path.Path.circle() (with some affine scaling if applicable). The collection of paths also has an offset value which describes where each path (marker) will be drawn.

    1. The best parameter values should always be cross-validated

      Cross-validation does not return any model with parameters tuned. It does, however, give a measure of out-of-sample (generalization) accuracy. It does so by averaging over several random partitions of the data into training and test (validation) samples.

    2. when splitting a node during the construction of the tree, the split that is chosen is no longer the best split among all features

      According to Wikipedia, a random subset of features is chosen "at each candidate split in the learning process"

    1. Simply training many trees on a single training set would give strongly correlated trees (or even the same tree many times, if the training algorithm is deterministic); bootstrap sampling is a way of de-correlating the trees by showing them different training sets.

      "simply" training many trees; i.e. without selection of random subset of the features

    1. [1]

      The evidence p(x) can be evaluated (using the sum and product rules) in terms of likelihoods (probability of data given parameters) and priors (prior believes about parameters): \(p(x) = \sum_{i} p(x|\theta_i)\)

    1. I thought they could help us some way

      There must me a difference between "thinking thay they [Mr. Jovic as President of the Presidency of Yugoslavia] could help them in some way", and "being left [by them] in no doubt that Belgrade would help them".

    2. Mr. Jovic is allegedly to have promised to 18 Mr. Babic? In the transcript we received in written form, it says -- it's 19 about Mr. Babic's order: "We did not get a specific promise, but I was 20 left in no doubt that Belgrade would help us."

    1. non-zero entries

      Cada non-zero entry es una palabra del diccionario (o feature) -una de las dimensiones del espacio vectorial- seguido de un valor proporcional al número de veces que la palabra aparece en uno de los documentos, pesado por la frecuencia de la palabra en el corpus (palabras más frecuentes tienen valores más bajos).

    2. sparse TF-IDF vectors

      Observar que no usó una stoplist para ignorar palabras comunes. Probablemente, éstas perderan peso a causa del vector space model algorithm tf-idf.
