{:About the book\n\nHomotopy type theory is a new branch of mathematics that combines aspects of several different fields in a surprising way. It is based on a recently discovered connection between homotopy theory and type theory. It touches on topics as seemingly distant as the homotopy groups of spheres, the algorithms for type checking, and the definition of weak \u221e-groupoids. Homotopy type theory offers a new \ foundation of mathematics, in which a central role is played by Voevodsky's univalence axiom and higher inductive types. The present book is intended as a first systematic exposition of the basics of univalent foundations, and a collection of examples of this new style of reasoning \u2014 but without requiring the reader to know or learn any formal logic, or to use any computer proof assistant. We believe that univalent foundations will eventually become a viable alternative to set theory as the \"implicit foundation\" for the unformalized mathematics done by most mathematicians.\"\n\nThe making of HoTT book [http:\/\/vimeo.com\/68761218](http:\/\/vimeo.com\/68761218)<\/comment>","meta":{"dup_signals":{"dup_doc_count":114,"dup_dump_count":47,"dup_details":{"curated_sources":2,"2023-40":1,"2023-14":1,"2023-06":4,"2022-49":2,"2022-27":3,"2022-21":1,"2022-05":2,"2021-49":1,"2021-43":2,"2021-39":1,"2021-25":1,"2021-17":2,"2021-10":1,"2021-04":4,"2020-50":1,"2020-45":1,"2020-40":3,"2020-34":1,"2020-29":1,"2020-24":1,"2019-47":3,"2019-43":1,"2019-35":1,"2019-30":2,"2019-26":1,"2019-22":1,"2019-18":3,"2019-09":5,"2018-51":5,"2018-43":4,"2018-39":1,"2018-34":4,"2018-26":2,"2018-22":6,"2018-17":1,"2018-13":3,"2018-09":7,"2018-05":2,"2017-51":9,"2017-47":2,"2017-43":2,"2017-39":2,"2017-34":3,"2023-50":1,"2024-22":5,"2024-18":1,"2024-10":1}},"id":null},"subset":"hackernews"} |

textJanrain to shutdown MyOpenID Q1 2014 - <AUTHOR> http:\/\/m.csoonline.com\/article\/739153\/\n\n<comment><AUTHOR> Full email:\n\n\\<\/comment><comment><\/comment><comment><\/comment><comment><\/comment><comment>\n\nHello,\n\nI wanted to reach out personally to let you know that we have made the decision to end of life the myOpenID service. myOpenID will be turned off on February 1, 2014.\n\nIn 2006 Janrain created myOpenID to fulfill our vision to make registration and login easier on the web for people. Since that time, social networks and email providers such as Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn and Yahoo! have embraced open identity standards. And now, billions of people who have created accounts with these services can use their identities to easily register and login to sites across the web in the way myOpenID was intended.\n\nBy 2009 it had become obvious that the vast majority of consumers would prefer to utilize an existing identity from a recognized provider rather than create their own myOpenID account. As a result, our business focus changed to address this desire, and we introduced social login technology. While the technology is slightly different from where we were in 2006, I'm confident that we are still delivering on our initial promise \u2013 that people should take control of their online identity and are empowered to carry those identities with them as they navigate the web.\n\nFor those of you who still actively use myOpenID, I can understand your disappointment to hear this news and apologize if this causes you any inconvenience. To reduce this inconvenience, we are delaying the end of life of the service until February 1, 2014 to give you time to begin using other identities on those sites where you use myOpenID today.\n\nSpeaking on behalf of Janrain, I truly appreciate your past support of myOpenID.\n\nSincerely, Larry\n\n\\-- Larry Drebes, CEO, Janrain, Inc.<\/comment>","meta":{"dup_signals":{"dup_doc_count":170,"dup_dump_count":64,"dup_details":{"curated_sources":2,"2022-21":1,"2021-43":1,"2021-31":1,"2021-17":2,"2021-10":1,"2020-34":1,"2020-10":1,"2020-05":1,"2019-39":1,"2019-35":1,"2019-30":1,"2019-18":1,"2019-04":1,"2018-47":1,"2018-39":1,"2018-26":1,"2018-22":3,"2018-17":1,"2018-13":3,"2018-09":1,"2018-05":3,"2017-51":2,"2017-47":2,"2017-43":3,"2017-39":3,"2017-34":3,"2017-30":2,"2017-26":3,"2017-22":2,"2017-17":3,"2017-09":5,"2017-04":4,"2016-50":5,"2016-44":6,"2016-40":2,"2016-36":6,"2016-30":5,"2016-22":3,"2016-18":3,"2016-07":2,"2015-48":2,"2015-40":1,"2015-35":2,"2015-32":2,"2015-27":1,"2015-22":2,"2015-14":1,"2014-52":1,"2014-49":1,"2014-42":3,"2014-41":2,"2014-35":8,"2014-23":10,"2014-15":9,"2023-50":1,"2024-22":2,"2024-18":3,"2024-10":2,"2017-13":4,"2015-18":2,"2015-11":2,"2015-06":1,"2014-10":6,"2013-48":8}},"id":null},"subset":"hackernews"} |

He asked them, 'Why have you been standing \n here all day long doing nothing?'\n \n \"'Because no one has hired us,' they answered.\n \n \"He said to them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard.'\n \n \"When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, \n 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones \n hired and going on to the first.'\n \n \"The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each \n received a denarius. So when those came who were hired first, they \n expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. \n When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. \n 'These who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'and \n you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work \n and the heat of the day.'\n \n \"But he answered one of them, 'I am not being unfair to you, friend. \n Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want \n to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don't I \n have the right to do what I want with my own money?

textDell: Apple should close shop (1997) - <AUTHOR> http:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/dell-apple-should-close-shop\/ <comment><AUTHOR> Full text:\n\nORLANDO, Florida--When it comes to the state of Apple Computer, everyone has an opinion.\n\nAnd at the Gartner Symposium and ITxpo97 here today, the CEO of competitor Dell Computer added his voice to the chorus when asked what could be done to fix the Mac maker. His solution was a drastic one.\n\n\ Michael Dell said before a crowd of several thousand IT executives.\n\nDell's comments follow Steve Jobs's keynote address at the Seybold trade show last week in San Francisco, where the Apple cofounder seemed to win over attendees with his explanation of why he had made certain key decisions, killing the clone market and aligning more closely with Microsoft. The Seybold crowd--as well as some Apple employees--also seemed to be buoyed by the increasing role Jobs has taken on at the company as board member and interim CEO.\n\nBut others, like Dell, appear to think that Jobs's expanded role isn't helping. There is some concern that Apple will have a hard time recruiting a top-notch CEO because of Jobs's presence.\n\nOthers fear that Apple could end up completely in Microsoft's camp by deciding to use the NT operating system on its servers. Apple is reportedly planning to come out with network computers that would require high-end servers to function.\n\nWhile many industry executives have offered opinions on how to right Apple's ship, no high-level executive has made as blatant a comment as Dell's.<\/comment>metadup_signalsdup_doc_countdup_dump_countdup_detailscurated_sources2023-142023-062022-492022-402022-332022-212022-052021-492021-392021-312021-252021-042020-452020-292020-052019-472019-392018-432018-392018-222018-172018-092018-052017-472017-432017-392017-342017-302017-262017-222017-172017-092016-502016-442016-402016-362016-302016-182016-072015-482015-402015-352015-322017-132024-26idsubsethackernews |

textNeil Gaiman on Copyright Piracy and the Web - <AUTHOR> http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0Qkyt1wXNlI&feature=youtu.be \American Gods,\Well, what about the sales that I'm losing through having stuff copied, through having stuff floating out there?\" I started asking audiences to just raise their hands for one question. Which is, I'd say, \ They'd say, \"Yes.\" and I'd say, \ And then, \ And it's probably about five, ten percent of the people who actually discovered an author who's their favorite author, who is the person who they buy everything of. They buy the hardbacks and they treasure the fact that they got this author. Very few of them bought the book. They were lent it. They were given it. They did not pay for it, and that's how they found their favorite author. And I thought, \"You know, that's really all this is. It's people lending books. And you can't look on that as a loss of sale. It's not a lost sale, nobody who would have bought your book is not buying it because they can find it for free.\"<p>What you're actually doing is advertising. You're reaching more people, you're raising awareness. Understanding that gave me a whole new idea of the shape of copyright and of what the web was doing. Because the biggest thing the web is doing is allowing people to hear things. Allowing people to read things. Allowing people to see things that they would never have otherwise seen. And I think, basically, that's an incredibly good thing.\" <comment><AUTHOR> helpful transcript:\n\n\"When the web started, I used to get really grumpy with people because they put my poems up. They put my stories up. They put my stuff up on the web. I had this belief, which was completely erroneous, that if people put your stuff up on the web and you didn't tell them to take it down, you would lose your copyright, which actually, is simply not true.\n\nAnd I also got very grumpy because I felt like they were pirating my stuff, that it was bad. And then I started to notice that two things seemed much more significant. One of which was\u2026 places where I was being pirated, particularly Russia where people were translating my stuff into Russian and spreading around into the world, I was selling more and more books. People were discovering me through being pirated. Then they were going out and buying the real books, and when a new book would come out in Russia, it would sell more and more copies. I thought this was fascinating, and I tried a few experiments. Some of them are quite hard, you know, persuading my publisher for example to take one of my books and put it out for free. We took \ a book that was still selling and selling very well, and for a month they put it up completely free on their website. You could read it and you could download it. What happened was sales of my books, through independent bookstores, because that's all we were measuring it through, went up the following month three hundred percent.\n\nI started to realize that actually, you're not losing books. You're not losing sales by having stuff out there. When I give a big talk now on these kinds of subjects and people say, \"Well, what about the sales that I'm losing through having stuff copied, through having stuff floating out there?\Okay, do you have a favorite author?\Yes.\Good. What I want is for everybody who discovered their favorite author by being lent a book, put up your hands.\Anybody who discovered your favorite author by walking into a bookstore and buying a book raise your hands.\You know, that's really all this is. It's people lending books. And you can't look on that as a loss of sale. It's not a lost sale, nobody who would have bought your book is not buying it because they can find it for free.\<\/comment>metadup_signalsdup_doc_countdup_dump_countdup_detailscurated_sources2021-492021-042020-402020-342020-292020-162020-052019-512019-432019-392019-352019-302019-262019-222019-182019-132019-092019-042018-512018-432018-342018-302018-172018-132017-472017-342017-262014-422014-412014-352014-232014-152023-142014-102013-482013-202024-10idsubsethackernews |

textMilitary-Industrial Complex Speech, Dwight D.

The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.\n\nWe must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together._<\/comment>metadup_signalsdup_doc_countdup_dump_countdup_detailscurated_sources2023-402023-232023-062022-492022-402022-332022-272022-212021-492021-432021-312021-252021-212021-102020-502020-402020-292020-162020-102020-052019-512019-432019-392019-352019-262019-182019-092018-512018-472018-432018-392018-342018-302018-262018-222018-172018-132018-092018-052017-512017-472017-432017-392017-342017-302017-262017-222017-172017-092017-042016-502016-442016-402016-362016-302016-222016-182016-072015-482015-402015-352015-322015-272015-222015-142014-522014-492014-422014-412014-352014-232014-152023-502024-262024-222017-132015-182015-112015-062014-102013-482013-202024-30idsubsethackernews |

textThe PirateBay press release concerning sopa.. Nice read. - <AUTHOR>\n\nOriginal --> http:\/\/static.thepiratebay.org\/legal\/sopa.txt<p>INTERNETS, 18th of January 2012. PRESS RELEASE, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. Over a century ago Thomas Edison got the patent for a device which would \. He called it the Kinetoscope. He was not only amongst the first to record video, he was also the first person to own the copyright to a motion picture. Because of Edisons patents for the motion pictures it was close to financially impossible to create motion pictures in the North american east coast. The movie studios therefor relocated to California, and founded what we today call Hollywood. The reason was mostly because there was no patent. There was also no copyright to speak of, so the studios could copy old stories and make movies out of them - like Fantasia, one of Disneys biggest hits ever.<p>So, the whole basis of this industry, that today is screaming about losing control over immaterial rights, is that they circumvented immaterial rights. They copied (or put in their terminology: \) other peoples creative works, without paying for it. They did it in order to make a huge profit. Today, they're all successful and most of the studios are on the Fortune 500 list of the richest companies in the world. Congratulations - it's all based on being able to re-use other peoples creative works. And today they hold the rights to what other people create. If you want to get something released, you have to abide to their rules. The ones they created after circumventing other peoples rules.<p>The reason they are always complainting about \ today is simple. We've done what they did. We circumvented the rules they created and created our own. We crushed their monopoly by giving people something more efficient. We allow people to have direct communication between eachother, circumventing the profitable middle man, that in some cases take over 107% of the profits (yes, you pay to work for them). It's all based on the fact that we're competition. We've proven that their existance in their current form is no longer needed. We're just better than they are.<p>And the funny part is that our rules are very similar to the founding ideas of the USA. We fight for freedom of speech. We see all people as equal. We believe that the public, not the elite, should rule the nation. We believe that laws should be created to serve the public, not the rich corporations. The Pirate Bay is truly an international community. The team is spread all over the globe - but we've stayed out of the USA. We have Swedish roots and a swedish friend said this: The word SOPA means \ in Swedish. The word PIPA means \ in Swedish. This is of course not a coincidence. They want to make the internet inte a one way pipe, with them at the top, shoving trash through the pipe down to the rest of us obedient consumers. The public opinion on this matter is clear. Ask anyone on the street and you'll learn that noone wants to be fed with trash. Why the US government want the american people to be fed with trash is beyond our imagination but we hope that you will stop them, before we all drown.<p>SOPA can't do anything to stop TPB. Worst case we'll change top level domain from our current .org to one of the hundreds of other names that we already also use. In countries where TPB is blocked, China and Saudi Arabia springs to mind, they block hundreds of our domain names. And did it work? Not really. To fix the \"problem of piracy\" one should go to the source of the problem. The entertainment industry say they're creating \ but what they really do is stuff like selling overpriced plushy dolls and making 11 year old girls become anorexic. Either from working in the factories that creates the dolls for basically no salary or by watching movies and tv shows that make them think that they're fat.<p>In the great Sid Meiers computer game Civilization you can build Wonders of the world. One of the most powerful ones is Hollywood. With that you control all culture and media in the world. Rupert Murdoch was happy with MySpace and had no problems with their own piracy until it failed. Now he's complainting that Google is the biggest source of piracy in the world - because he's jealous. He wants to retain his mind control over people and clearly you'd get a more honest view of things on Wikipedia and Google than on Fox News. Some facts (years, dates) are probably wrong in this press release. The reason is that we can't access this information when Wikipedia is blacked out. Because of pressure from our failing competitors. We're sorry for that. THE PIRATE BAY, (K)2012 <comment><USER2> This was already _correctly_ posted as a link two days ago when it was new. I don't understand this recent trend of using Ask HN to write essentially blog posts or to repost articles rather than link to them. What is the thought process here?\n\n<\/comment><comment><USER3> I like how TPB stand against SOPA, it's really true that industries are complaining right now because they're losing control over people they monopolized.<\/comment>","meta":{"dup_signals":{"dup_doc_count":734,"dup_dump_count":95,"dup_details":{"curated_sources":2,"2023-50":2,"2023-40":1,"2023-23":5,"2023-14":2,"2023-06":3,"2022-49":3,"2022-40":2,"2022-33":2,"2022-27":1,"2022-21":3,"2022-05":1,"2021-43":3,"2021-39":1,"2021-31":5,"2021-25":1,"2021-17":4,"2021-10":4,"2021-04":6,"2020-50":4,"2020-45":5,"2020-40":8,"2020-29":6,"2020-24":1,"2020-16":4,"2020-10":5,"2020-05":5,"2019-51":4,"2019-47":3,"2019-43":3,"2019-39":3,"2019-35":5,"2019-30":4,"2019-26":3,"2019-22":4,"2019-18":6,"2019-13":3,"2019-09":6,"2019-04":3,"2018-51":3,"2018-47":6,"2018-43":3,"2018-39":10,"2018-34":4,"2018-30":11,"2018-26":6,"2018-22":10,"2018-17":6,"2018-13":12,"2018-09":11,"2018-05":14,"2017-51":11,"2017-47":25,"2017-43":14,"2017-39":20,"2017-34":14,"2017-30":17,"2017-26":19,"2017-22":20,"2017-17":19,"2017-09":12,"2017-04":6,"2016-50":8,"2016-44":5,"2016-40":5,"2016-36":4,"2016-30":5,"2016-26":3,"2016-22":4,"2016-18":5,"2016-07":8,"2015-48":8,"2015-40":5,"2015-35":9,"2015-32":12,"2015-27":9,"2015-22":13,"2015-14":7,"2014-52":11,"2014-49":8,"2014-42":25,"2014-41":16,"2014-35":17,"2014-23":16,"2014-15":6,"2024-30":2,"2024-26":3,"2024-18":2,"2024-10":5,"2017-13":16,"2015-18":14,"2015-11":12,"2015-06":9,"2014-10":11,"2013-48":11,"2013-20":31}},"id":null},"subset":"hackernews"} |

But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.\n\nFor every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.<\/comment>","meta":{"dup_signals":{"dup_doc_count":391,"dup_dump_count":95,"dup_details":{"curated_sources":2,"2023-50":4,"2023-40":2,"2023-23":2,"2023-14":1,"2023-06":3,"2022-49":2,"2022-40":2,"2022-33":2,"2022-27":2,"2022-21":1,"2022-05":2,"2021-49":1,"2021-43":2,"2021-39":2,"2021-31":1,"2021-21":2,"2021-17":1,"2021-10":1,"2021-04":1,"2020-50":1,"2020-40":3,"2020-34":1,"2020-29":3,"2020-16":1,"2020-10":1,"2020-05":4,"2019-51":2,"2019-47":1,"2019-43":3,"2019-39":1,"2019-35":3,"2019-30":1,"2019-26":1,"2019-22":2,"2019-18":3,"2019-13":3,"2019-09":3,"2019-04":3,"2018-51":3,"2018-47":6,"2018-43":6,"2018-39":4,"2018-34":4,"2018-30":6,"2018-26":8,"2018-22":2,"2018-17":5,"2018-13":8,"2018-09":6,"2018-05":2,"2017-51":8,"2017-47":6,"2017-43":11,"2017-39":5,"2017-34":9,"2017-30":4,"2017-26":10,"2017-22":8,"2017-17":7,"2017-09":8,"2017-04":4,"2016-50":5,"2016-44":3,"2016-40":3,"2016-36":3,"2016-30":3,"2016-26":2,"2016-22":3,"2016-18":3,"2016-07":3,"2015-48":3,"2015-40":2,"2015-35":3,"2015-32":6,"2015-27":6,"2015-22":8,"2015-14":7,"2014-52":4,"2014-49":5,"2014-42":13,"2014-41":10,"2014-35":10,"2014-23":12,"2014-15":10,"2024-26":3,"2024-22":3,"2024-18":1,"2024-10":3,"2017-13":11,"2015-18":7,"2015-11":4,"2015-06":4,"2014-10":5,"2013-48":5,"2013-20":2}},"id":null},"subset":"hackernews"} |
