      Instead of "Six people were shot" should the approach here be "Evidence found so far" to reduce the friction of adding new evidence?

    1. “There was a shooting that occurred outside the mall after it was closed in the early morning of November 25, 2016,” said a spokesperson.

      "after it was closed" defuses the "bargain shoppers gone wild" meme.

    5. The project has shrunk since the Halls proposed it in 2007. The latest version calls for 209 acres of vineyards within 316 acres of graded areas—including roads and other features — scattered across the 2,300-acre Walt Ranch. No winery is proposed. The original project was for 397 acres of vineyards within a 538-acre development area.

    1. This scenario is what prompted Mike Caulfield, the director of blended and networked learning at Washington State University Vancouver, to dig into the question of “whether fake news or real news is more viral.” As Caulfield explained in a blog post published November 13, he looked at Facebook’s own publicly available social news tracking API to study several news stories — from real news websites as well as fake websites attempting to pass themselves off as real news websites — in hopes of determining which ones users were more likely to share.
    1. Twenty-seven million to 29 million viewers, on average, tuned in every night to hear Walter Cronkite on the CBS Evening News.
    1. "His ratings on the day he left the 'Evening News' were bigger than all three network newscasts together today," Socolow said. "He had an average rating of 27 million to 29 million viewers."
    1. In the mid-1960s, approximately 90 percent of televisions in use at the dinner hour were turned to one of the network newscasts. And by 1980, their combined audience peaked at 52.1 million viewers. By contrast, in 2011, according to the Pew Research Center, only about 22 million viewers watched them, and their share of the television audience at the dinner hour had declined to 29 percent. This is why the Cronkite era is widely regarded as television news’s “golden age.” While he occupied the anchor’s chair, many more Americans watched news programs broadcast by the networks, and those programs were more serious and substantive than television news today.
    1. Facing one of the many crises of his time, Sir Winston Churchill supposedly quipped: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” The remark was meant to identify a crisis that demanded immediate and thoroughgoing change. Over the intervening years, the phrase has been used by statesmen and business leaders as a rallying cry to regroup, revamp and reinvent. In this article, McKinsey continues that tradition by applying a keen lens to the oil & gas industry’s fundamentals and the needed business changes the shifting fundamentals imply. This crisis is an opportunity for the industry to significantly reshape how it works.

    1. "Rule 10:  The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.  Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, "Okay, what would you do?"      This rule of Alinsky’s was paraphrased by the Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, "never let a good crisis go to waste."   Obama has used the oil spill crisis as an excuse to spew green rhetoric and promote his cap-and-trade bill.

      How is the latter a paraphrase of the former?

    1. Charles Doyle of the University of Georgia, my coauthor on the forthcoming Yale Book of Modern Proverbs, has found that this expression is now commonly applied to economic or diplomatic crises that can be exploited to advance political agendas, but he traced it back at least as far as 1976, when M. F. Weiner wrote an article in the journal Medical Economics entitled “Don’t Waste a Crisis — Your Patient’s or Your Own.” Weiner meant by this that a medical crisis can be used to improve aspects of personality, mental health, or lifestyle.
    1. "First of all, what I said was never let a good crisis go to waste when it's an opportunity to do things you had never considered or you didn't think were possible," he told FOX News when asked about the quote.
    1. a specific area of the picture has been selected and rotated

      How can I comment on that specific area? According to http://iiif.io/api/presentation/2.0:

      Although normally annotations are used for associating commentary with the thing the annotation’s text is about, the Open Annotation model allows any resource to be associated with any other resource, or parts thereof, and it is reused for both commentary and painting resources on the canvas.

    2. development of the IIIF technology
    1. the technical issues OER have faced for the first 15 years of their formal existence – particularly around search and discovery.

      I'm not sure these are purely technical issues. When people engage with web content as active readers, in an open way, they build new layers of content that search engines naturally crawl and make discoverable.

      Creating that culture of open engagement does require a kind of technology, but one that's as much (or more) social as technical.

    1. Google Scholar supports Highwire Press tags (e.g., citation_title), Eprints tags (e.g., eprints.title), BE Press tags (e.g., bepress_citation_title), and PRISM tags (e.g., prism.title). Use Dublin Core tags (e.g., DC.title) as a last resort - they work poorly for journal papers because Dublin Core doesn't have unambiguous fields for journal title, volume, issue, and page numbers.
    1. HTML Metatags It is possible to detail document metadata in the HTML HEAD element of article pages by utilising the META element. The Mendeley Web Importer will attempt to extract details from appropriate META elements. There are 4 supported "standards" for describing articles in the META elements, listed in the order of usage preference: Highwire Press tags (citation_*) Eprints tags (eprints.*) PRISM tags (prism.*) Dublin Core (dc.*/dcterms.*)
    1. In this Event Capsule, Jeff Allred and Philip Ewell discuss their use of Skim and hypothes.is to annotate digital documents. Their presentations during the October 25th Lunchtime Seminar encouraged participants to think about how fundamental aspects of note-taking and lecturing are evolving alongside changes in new media.

    1. In other words, Hillary Clinton herself has known for at least a year that her campaign and her entire party systematically incite violence at Trump rallies. This is hard evidence of direct collaboration between the DNC and the Hillary/Kaine campaign to terrorize every Trump or Pence event with paid, trained, and centrally organized agitators. Many of these agitators were homeless and/or mentally ill persons, as well as “rock ‘n’ roll” DNC union workers. Moreover, coordinating all these thugs involved daily calls to Robbie Mook and Hillary Clinton herself. This Bolshevik/Brownshirt “birddogging” campaign is way bigger than online “troll” tactics by the Correct The Record Super PAC. This campaign literally amounts to a paid, mobile army of about 500 agitators that can be anywhere in the USA as needed.
    1. Official records reveal Bob Creamer, the man exposed as being behind a tactic called “bird-dogging” in which homeless people, the elderly, and mentally ill individuals are paid to start violence at Trump rallies, has been to the White House many times since 2009.
    1. Democrats have used trained provocateurs to instigate violence at Republican events nationwide throughout the 2016 election cycle, including at several Donald Trump rallies, using a tactic called “bird-dogging,”
    1. In turn, the consultants are working with Democratic Super PACs and other groups to give maximum media exposure to the “bird dogging” violence, which they admit targets the elderly and disabled for maximum “shock value.”
    1. Democrats have used trained provocateurs to instigate violence at Republican events nationwide throughout the 2016 election cycle, including at several Donald Trump rallies, using a tactic called “bird-dogging,” according to a new video investigation released Monday by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas.

    1. I'm sorry I wrote it. But its behavior has been exploited by two decades of authors so in translation we can only duplicate it.

      I would consider myself lucky to have that kind of problem!

    1. Practice is critical, and it’s the part of the process that is the most easily overlooked, procrastinated and underutilized.

      The method here has been really helpful to me. https://blog.jonudell.net/2011/06/24/practicing-for-an-ignite-talk/. Setting aside the particular timing requirements for Ignite, the key point is that when you've learned the pitch by practicing with the slides, you can then rehearse mentally -- while driving, walking around, cycling, whatever -- by visualizing the slides and speaking to them. That makes it much easier to do a bunch of repetitions and really learn it deeply.

    1. A good WYSIWYG editor of arbitrary HTML is just as impossible as the halting problem is impossible.

      I don't need a WYSIWYG editor, I just need a selection navigator that does what https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Selection/modify will do. Conclusions so far:

      • https://github.com/timdown/rangy was headed there but seems inactive

      • found nothing else as good in the same category

      • seems hard but not as impossible as an editor

    1. This sounds spot on. It's also fairly major surgery. So I wonder if there's an incremental path that entails maintaining an index of replies for each annotation first, before undertaking the API restructuring.

      It wasn't just your imagination

    1. Feedback from Terry Elliot:

      Does the word Orphans make sense given what we’ve described?

      Yes, but not at first. Your discussion of dynamic pages made that clear. And I did experiment a bit with it. For example, I followed your example and created orphans without any problems with posts on my WP self-hosted site; however, I was not able to create an orphan tab when I created and edited a page. I never saw an orphan tab there.

      Are the three concepts -- Annotations, Page Notes, Orphans -- clear to you,or if not, what would help to clarify?

      I find myself asking. What is purpose of orphans? If they are orphaned from a dynamic page perhaps they need to stay orphaned. I just haven't seen enough orphans to know as a user whether they are useful enough to give them equal weight with other tabs. Seems what you want to do is to make sure that people don't use hypothes.is on dynamic sites and it hardly seems worth it at this point to grant valuable screen real estate to Orphans as a tab. First impressions only, will continue to check out orphans.

    1. ting down the law is meaningless if we cannot read it. But, we must be permitted to do more than simply read the law. We must be able to freely speak the law, to share the law with our fellow citizens, to dispute it, to make it better.
    1. this means that you cannot redeem a session cookie from the h application for an auth token

      I think this also means you cannot write annotations using a token.

      I can do this:

      curl -X PUT -H "Authorization: Bearer 68..f5" "https://hypothes.is/api/annotations/ymGL4ljtEea8Mv_xMbAxqg" -d "{\"tags\" : [\"a\", \"c\"] }"

      But in the browser this triggers a preflight request which receives a 404 response. This, for example, results in a 404, and I think it's the same thing that's happening to an xhr request in the browser.

      curl -X OPTIONS -H "Origin: http://jonudell.net" -H "Access-Control-Request-Method: PUT" -H "Authorization: Bearer 68..f5" "https://hypothes.is/api/annotations/ymGL4ljtEea8Mv_xMbAxqg" -d "{\"tags\" : [\"a\", \"b\"] }"

    1. For example if we're showing a list of public groups that have annotated this document in the sidebar, would we want to show hypothes.is groups to plos.org users? Or only show them plos.org groups?

      Or both to both, with the "native" one first in each case.

      Great question. It points toward what will be perhaps the thorniest aspect of public groups: Policy about what to show or not, and in what order.

            </lticm:options>
      </blti:extensions>
      
      

      And nothing changed.

    2. An extension to standard LTI, external tools can be configured to appear when a student is submitting content for an assignment. When a tool is configured, users will see an additional tab during assignment submission for assignments that accept online submissions. If a user selects a homework submission tool, a popup will appear where the external tool will be loaded. The tool should direct users to select or build some piece of content, then submit that content to the tool. The tool will then redirect the user to the LTI success URL with some additional parameters. Canvas will take this information and submit it for the current user as their submission to this assignment.

      I would really like to see an end-to-end example of this!

    2. (4) Existing law exempts from the Administrative Procedure Act certain actions to maintain, develop, or prescribe processes, procedures, or policies by the Department of General Services that are required or authorized by the Legislature with respect to the general operations of the department or the awarding of state contracts.
    3. (3) Under existing law, contracts by state agencies for services rendered to the state are, with certain exceptions, of no effect unless and until approved by the Department of General Services. Existing law imposes various requirements with respect to contracts for services rendered to the state. Existing law requires the department to develop factors for state agencies to consider in deciding whether to sell or license their intellectual property.
    4. (2) Existing law authorizes the Department of General Services to carry out various powers and duties relating to assisting a state agency in the management and development of intellectual property developed by state employees or with state funding, including, among other duties, developing a database of state-owned intellectual property using specified data and factors that state agencies should consider when deciding whether to sell their intellectual property or license it to others
    1. Exhibit A:
