The global purl resolver for persistent URLs is throwing 500s this morning. All pURLs are down. Internet meta just broke entirely unless you run your own purl resolver and change all the URLs. http://purl.org/dc/elemen

Words matter and so do PsyOps and confirmation bias. Companies are savvy at marketing so they should tailor their apologies to trigger good will confirmation bias in their customers. Actually, according to pre-suasion, they should stage f

I agree testing and automation are good. I think they need to go beyond this to formal verification, for something on this scale and reliability. NASA doesn't make these sorts of mistakes. By the way - this is not just Amazon's

as long as you are going to experiment, why not use a smart contract to implement your license? If someone meets your reserve price, it goes open source earlier. You can have a salvage value close 3 years in the future if the terms of the

True. I think Kurt Vonnegut had a short story that dealt with that aspect of the plan. A search for "Handicapper General" should dredge it up.

Isn't that what rot13 is for? A think a special compiler switch, along the lines of -Drot13, would work just fine for people who have special needs like that.

That's true now but not in all historical periods. In the original system, m. was an abbreviation for mille, and not a composable component of the numeral at all. In effect, it served as a comma does in English text today, to separat

every social community I've seen eventually has to give up the downvote as a tool and just have upvotes or likes, or else they peak when the downvoting gets out of hand. I think HNN passed that point about 1-2 years ago. I see more

That's good to hear and I see why those would be popular. I'm a bit surprised that a kanban board is so important. I'll put in my vote for replacing Wekan with Jupyter -- it's more strategic to win mindshare outside the

Almost certainly -- and therein lies a problem for you. There is an ambiguity between who owns the tab -- you or Jupyter app? The user of course will think of you and the app as the same thing. If you let Jupyter throw up a message sayin

The companies involved have specified a protocol for communicating your chosen password to them. Namely, the well known "spelling protocol" whereby you repeat your choice, letter by letter, to the other party. They have gone to

Perhaps the companies involved have been told by their lawyers that choosing a password is a legal action, like an electronic signature, that must be performed by a human, letter by letter, to have certain legal ramifications. It is only st

Or you could put the comments in the invisible fork and pass a Turing test. 'I passed the Turing test. No one believed me. Honest.' passes Turing test by sounding like a petulant child

Thanks for this. I would have been happier if the authors had phrased their findings in term of differential privacy rather than the effectiveness of the algorithms they were able to achieve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#
