    1. inflaming an increasingly volatile situation, Viktor

      Like that

    2. Viktor F. Yanukovych

      I knew victor

    3. Viktor F. Yanukovych

      I knew him in high school

    1. International Committee of the Red Cross

      Their web address is here:....

    2. Lakhdar Brahimi

      Hey, I grew up with this guy.

    1. The universe resemble

      Hey!

    2. power divine

      Like so

    3. Thus far hath one of steep Parnassus' brows Suffic'd me

      That's fascinating! Who is Parnassus?

    1. Basically, with Ultrabooks, once the bad guys are in, there is NO way to get them out without voiding a warranty and desoldering flash chips. Luckily, Microsoft security, aided by McAfee software, all built on an platform designed by people who don’t even understand the basics, has your back, protecting your valuables with walls of rice paper obscured by blizzards of press releases.

      This.

    1. When the user is building a trail, he names it, inserts the name in his code book, and taps it out on his keyboard. Before him are the two items to be joined, projected onto adjacent viewing positions

      I love this early UX imagining of the linking/annotation process by Vannevar. What's notable here of course is that he suggested that creating links between things was a function that something visitors (trailblazers) could do. In a sense, to him the notion of a hypertext link, and a clickable annotation w/ two targets were mutually interchangeable ideas. Today, these are distinct. The idea that a visitor can do this, is only possible within the emerging idea of Open Annotation as we understand it now. It's why those of us exploring it are so excited about its potential.

    1. stratigraphy concerns the events between its bounding surfaces as well as the nature of the boundary itself

      Create an annotation here.

    1. Adding and searching custom tags

      Our current interface supports creating ad-hoc tags. We are planning some additional features in the future (reference to external ontologies, auto-suggest, etc #142). Is the current capability sufficient for Phase 1 MVP?

    2. If emails responses are sent to mailing list, links to those emails (or body text) should be added to annotation thread

      In other words, if I reply to an email , a reply annotation should be created. This would be expected functionality in any basic email notification scheme. This is included in our issue #1004.

    3. Credentials for identity (W3C, WebPlatform.org)

      EDIT: Changed to Phase1

    4. Show annotations on demand

      We support this now, via a "show annotations" toggle

    5. Annotation server hosted on WebPlatform.org

      Available now.

    6. Persist annotations across different versions of same spec

      With an embedded canonical URL this is available now.

    7. Toggle annotation functionality on or off

      Exactly what is meant here? With the extension, it can be activated-- i.e. turned on, but we're still working on turning it off! #468). We also have a "show annotations" capability, to allow highlighting of all source level annotations on the page. Will a Phase 1 demo be done w/ an extension, or via direct embedding of JS on a given page?

      EDIT: Changed to Phase1 at @tilgovi's suggestion below

    8. Reflecting comments in the mailing list

      Sending email notifications clearly seems like Phase 1 scope. How exactly annotations would be reflected to a mailing list and how that would be configured, needs to be spec'd. issue #1004

    9. Allow admin curation of links (adding links, or removing irrelevant links on same thread)

      Can you describe in more detail?

    10. Consider adding tags in new custom email header

      Exactly what you mean should be spelled out here. Feels like this is either Phase 2 or 3.

    11. Alert users when they start annotating an older version of a document (requires knowing the current version)

      This feels like Phase 3.

    12. Consider sending a custom headers via email, so replies can be federated, keeping discussion threaded and complete

      Suggesting Phase1

    13. Optional: Add special "classes" of annotation, such as tests results, that display differently in the spec than simple text annotations (perhaps as icons for browser support)

      You say "display differently in the spec". In what way? By color, by style of highlight, etc. Suggesting this be Phase 2 or 3.

    1. Some functions of physical books that seem to have no digital place are nevertheless being retained

      Tell me about these functions!

    1. Their research was published in the light-hearted Christmas edition of the medical journal BMJ on Thursday

      Like so.

    2. British doctors who carefully read Ian Fleming's series of James Bond novels say the celebrated spy regularly drank more than four times the recommended limit of alcohol per week.

      I used to read these stories.

    1. seemed

      new stuff

    2. Employers have hired at least 200,000 workers in three of the last four months, including 203,000 in November.

      NO,

    1. They put the fair-value worth of a single bitcoin at $1,300. To be sure, Bitcoin will have to pass several significant milestones before that price will be justified. Requirements include Bitcoin (1) accounting for at least 10 percent of all global business-to-consumer e-commerce transactions, (2) becoming one of the top three players in the money transfer industry, and (3) achieving a confidence or value reputation on par with silver commodities.

      These are crazy hurdles to suggest. If Bitcoins accounted for 10% of all global B2C ecommerce, or... was one of the top three money transfer players, or had confidence on par with silver... what would the price of a single bitcoin be? That would represent enormous monetary flow and liquidity-- what is the size of the silver market? The size of the global B2C ecommerce market is according to just a cursory google search well over $1T USD. Since there are approx 12M bitcoins in circulation, 10% of that market would be a valuation of 8.3x the current trading price of $1000... right? Assuming that bitcoins were only used in that one application and nothing else. In other words bitcoins are a bargain now if you think they have even a chance in hell of getting there.

    2. Mr. Obama’s shift — once known as a pivot, now re-branded as a rebalance — has always seemed more rhetorical than real. But when Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. travels to China, Japan and South Korea next week, the administration will have another chance to flesh out the policy

      Stick something here.

    1. Around this time, the numberof people working worldwide to generatenew science increased considerably, sothat the previous excess of space in thejournals vanished and there was anincreased need to be more discriminatingas to what was published

      Was this what drove the emergence of the elite journals, like Nature, Science, Cell, etc or is it simply the natural human phenomenon that arises whenever curation takes place, and some curators' attention becomes more sought after over time due to a variety of factors, such as their place within the scholarly community, their association with scholarly societies or other institutions of prestige, etc.

    1. In July 1941 the Chemical Warfare Service recalled Columbia University’s Zanetti to active duty, sending him to London to acquire formulas and related technical specifications associated with a British incendiary

      Just the same way.

    1. Swiss American architect Marc Peter Jr. was central to what unfolded. Peter coordinated efforts across organizations and individuals, and across the Atlantic.

    1. The Internet Archive, which maintains the world's largest archive of old and defunct webpages, deletes its records of any site blocked by robots.txt.

      This may not be precisely correct. These pages may be "darkened" instead. The effect to outsiders is the same.

      Here is something else

    4. also recommend broadening

      I do too.

    1. As you work through the experiments, think about

      Think about: 1) Where could you use this in your work? Crowdvoice: Copyright and context, description, date, etc. Could implement metadata embedded on export. Crowdcrafting plugin: Information is already there, so makes it more efficient. Crowd needs to less, less repetition. Hypothes.is: Need link to canonical location of images on the web, using embedded metadata. Possible integration w/ TinyEye: For easy identification of images w/ original metadata. Wordpress: Need plugin to automatically copy metadata to bottom of the image, to make attribution easy, quick and natural. Flickr: Make flow of metadata as easy as the flow of the image itself. Professional photo services.

      3) Who would be willing to pay:

      • Anyone w/ a nice donate workflow
      • Analytics about where your image goes?
      • Partner w/ Tineye to provide reporting to professional photographers.
      • Annual subscription allows to save config options in global account. Maybe store CSS styles, etc.
      • More like Getty?
      • AP. Millions of photographers.
      • Tip jar. Keep a %
    1. How do we help institutions find funding?

      Team 2: Q1 - How do we help institutions find funding?

      • Leverage existing for textbooks
      • Lobby librarians, central union?
      • Get corporate funding / grants

      Ideas: Overall: Adopt a flexible framework. Need options for institutions.

      1) Suggested donation. The "radiohead" model. Maybe there is some kind of bling or flair (next to their online profile) or bumper sticker for parents that indicates that the person contributed. Pros:

      • Same person pays (the student)
      • Paying substatially less
      • Institution doesn't have to find new funding, or change regulated fee structures Cons:
      • Not predictable
      • What does the pro-rata income work out to be?

      2) External grants-- student body applies Pros:

      • Institution doesn't pay Cons:
      • Can't provide service until grant is awarded.

      3) Freemium model. Basic access is free, but some elements (enhanced study guides for example) have a fee. Pros:

      • Any student can get basic access for free Cons:
      • Economic differentiation per student

      4) Adopt-a-kid model Rich families pay for poor ones.

      5) Get R1s to Adopt-a-CC Might help w/ Q2.

      Q2 - How do we work with more prestigious institutions that may dislike materials created by CCs?

      1) Get them to begin contribution to materials 2) Do a study comparing the actual materials, get external assessment. 3) Get high profile innovative institutions to adopt first (MediaLab, ITP, ?) 4) Certain subjects more attractive to begin in? 5) Mix of the above? 6)

    1. If following a link which goes to an anchor on a page, for example: [2] it doesn't seem to pick up the annotations which are for that page (only annotations made with that exact URL).
    2. Dan W

      Super optimistic about the future of life on earth and technology to make a transformative impact.

      Super pessimistic short term about this pesky climate change problem

    1. The only way through is either to find an untiring champion in the company or to just keep pitching, again and again, till you’ve raised enough of a spark to survive the organisation’s decision-making process

      I imagine this truth probably resonates with many readers. One strategy I've adopted when I know it's a long slog is to signal early to influencers that I'm not there to get a green light, what I'm there to do is lay out a roadmap so that we can continue to have a conversation as progress is made. It makes it much easier for them and it gives you real strength in the 2nd and 3rd meetings as you show you're delivering.

    1. The guilty plea and fine paid by SAC, which is owned by the billionaire investor Steven A. Cohen, are part of a broader plea deal that federal prosecutors in Manhattan announced on Monday

      About time.

    1. Ticket counters reopened Saturday at the scene of the attack

      Hey... I don't think so.

    1. A body passes through several stages as decomposition progresses driven by dehydration and discernible by characteristic gross taphonomic changes. The early stages of decomposition are wet and marked by discoloration of the flesh and the onset and cessation of bacterially-induced bloat

    1. Ms. Sebelius, fighting for her political life at a hearing of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said she was “as frustrated and angry as anyone with the flawed launch of HealthCare.gov.”

      Say whatever.

    2. A balance must of course be struck between security and transparency, but that cannot be achieved while the intelligence services and their political masters seek to avoid any scrutiny of, or debate about, their actions."

      What?

    3. A report in Der Spiegel said Merkel's mobile number had been listed by the NSA's Special Collection Service (SCS) since 2002 and may have been monitored for more than 10 years. It was still on the list – marked as "GE Chancellor Merkel" – weeks before President Barack Obama visited Berlin in June.

      This.

    1. What is breathtaking, frightening really is that like Jonathan Zittrain observed, every point on the curve is the inflection point, and the mild acceleration we’re seeing now is just the foreplay for the main act

      Hold on to your armrests!

    1. Recently, a member of the House Intelligence Committee was asked at a town hall meeting, by his constituents, why my requests for more information about these programs were being denied. This member argued that I don't have the necessary level of clearance to obtain access for classified information. That doesn't make any sense; every member is given the same level of clearance. There is no legal justification for imparting secret knowledge about the NSA's domestic surveillance activities only to the 20 members of the House Intelligence Committee

      This is not widely known. It should be.

    1. Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain accused them of “helping our enemies”

      Annotation!

    2. The leaders of Germany and France offered on Friday to hold talks with the United States in an effort to come up with mutually acceptable rules for surveillance operations, easing a trans-Atlantic spying dispute that has plunged relations between America and Europe to a low point

      Will these talks be public? Doubtful. Will the rules be public? Probably not. It's hard not to be incredibly skeptical that the intelligence apparatus will agree to effectively stand down without considerable more pressure applied.

    1. We can almost certainly base this off of Hypothes.is: http://hypothes.is/

      Our goal is to solve problems just like this. Let us build reusable software that meets your needs!

    2. Support for indicating when an annotation is no longer relevant (such as when its ideas are integrated into the article, or have been determined not to be relevant)

      We've talked about this. Just created as an issue (issue #827)

    3. Ability to "ping" people whose attention is needed

      On the roadmap (issue #580)

    4. Should be able to toggle the interface for annotations on and off

      A demo of this is available at the Epub integration demo

    5. Spam filtering

      In development (issue #825)

    6. Needs to be fully integrated into MDN, with no extra software required, and any logging into the service needs to use the same one as MDN itself

      Annotation can be embedded on pages now, so that no additional software is required by annotators. Here's a simple wordpress plugin for instance, or a book (via EPUBjs) with it embedded already.

    7. Ability to archive and/or delete notes

      Delete is available now. All annotations are web resources and can be saved and archived in the usual ways. Let us know if you have more detailed requirements...

    8. Ability to reply to those notes

      See above.

    9. Ability to attach notes to a selected area of a document

      Done!

    1. or the death of Osama bin Laden. "Nothing's been done about that story, it's one big lie, not one word of it is true," he says of the dramatic US Navy Seals raid in 2011.

      This is one of the first high-profile / credible journalists I've heard about saying what should be pretty obvious, given that there are zero objectively knowable facts about those events.

    1. Don't just look for rockstar developers or designers, look for a rockstar CFO. Hire someone who is better than you are, who can be a real partner in growing the business.

      In my first company, GetThere, we hired an amazing CFO. Ken Pelowski, who's now the CEO of his own mezzanine investment fund, called Pinnacle Ventures. He probably quadrupled our exit value when we sold to Sabre, just through canny negotiation.

      Ouch

    4. Relations between us have passed through different stages. We stood against each other during the cold war. But we were also allies once, and defeated the Nazis together. The universal international organization — the United Nations — was then established to prevent such devastation from ever happening again.

      So far so good, and all true, establishing a baseline of cooperation on shared interests while acknowledging U.S.-Russia tensions.

    5. No one wants the United Nations to suffer the fate of the League of Nations, which collapsed because it lacked real leverage. This is possible if influential countries bypass the United Nations and take military action without Security Council authorization.

      It's true that the League of Nations collapsed because no one took it seriously, including the United States. But the United Nations survived the Cold War, which included lots of non-U.N.-approved military actions from -- you guessed it -- the United States and the Soviet Union. If the United Nations can survive the unilateral Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the U.S. intervention in Vietnam, among many other wars large and small, it will survive cruise missile strikes on Syria.

    6. The United Nations’ founders understood that decisions affecting war and peace should happen only by consensus, and with America’s consent the veto by Security Council permanent members was enshrined in the United Nations Charter.

      Putin here is implicitly defending Russia's right to use its veto to block the United Nations from any action on Syria, including simple press releases condemning the use of chemical weapons. The U.N. Security Council veto system, which means that Russia can block any action just because it says so, was not a product of "profound wisdom" as much as profound pragmatism. Countries don't like to give up their power to other countries. After World War II, getting the world's five remaining great powers (the United States, United Kingdom, France, China and the Soviet Union) to consent to this newfangled United Nations system required granting them veto power so they'd be comfortable with it. This is what it took, but it wasn't profoundly wise, and both Russia and the United States abuse their veto power plenty.

    1. The skin acts as a barrier against various environmental factors, such as pathogens, chemical and physical stimuli, and light exposure. It has the capability not only to recognize, but also count these signals and integrate into organized responses [1], [2]

      here's my insightful bit.

    1. "21L.705", "CMS.350"

      These are two separate groups, right? So, in this example a user, Hyperstudio, created an annotation under two different groups, the other members of which now have the ability to see it?

      A question is whether an annotation can be created under more than one group. I think it makes sense... potentially problematic?

    2. added automatically to all of each user's annotations

      I think we'd probably need users to be able to control which of their group memberships were applied to a given annotation.

    3. geography

      So, was the annotation further created under two subgroups? Which subgroups belong to which groups? Are subgroup names unique amongst all groups, or only within their group (i'd vote for the latter).

      Should a group designation consist of two parts... the master group and optionally a subgroup of it?

    1. And yet, in making any general judgement of this sort, we are indanger of forgetting how variegated the human world and its mental life are.

      ok, here's a test

    1. To promote the unlikely alliance between the chocolate sellers and the Android advocates, Nestlé will ship more than 50 million KitKats featuring the Android mascot to 19 countries including the UK, US, Brazil, India, Russia and Japan.

      Odd, to say the least.

    1. I’m still seeking clarification on whether we can anticipate that H will display all annotations on a particular page in “stream” view, as this is currently viewable only in “sidebar” view.

      Jack-- I posted a short update here to clarify. Thanks for your additional questions.

    1. Editing information that is here. For example, these stub pages need some love and attention, much like a puppy.

      Of course, you could also annotate it-- to add your thoughts or have a conversation about how things could be improved. @philipn at localwiki has been exploring hypothes.is for this.
