Principles: 1. Libraries democratize access to artificial intelligence tools and technology to foster digital literacy among all people. 2. Libraries commit to understanding where distortions and biases are present in AI models and applications. 3. Libraries champion transparency and information integrity. 4. Libraries believe “no human, no AI.” 5. Libraries prioritize the security and privacy of users in the use of AI tools, technology, and training data. 6. Libraries assert that copyright law in the US and Canada is flexible and robust enough to respond to many copyright issues that arise from the intersection of technology and artificial intelligence. 7. Libraries negotiate to preserve the scholarly use of digital information.

This is the chief reason I subscribe to Sling TV. It might not be widely known, but you can activate the WatchESPN app with your Sling credentials. This is great because the quality of experience watching tv on the ESPN app is way better than on the Sling app, which — at least for me, on the Apple TV — sometimes has pretty bad buffering problems.

“Ryan, I think I can increase your revenue”

I don't know about this. To me, it reads like spam. I take your point, though - we like it when we hear our name or read it in print. I do try to use the subject's name in the message body when I want to sound a bit more personal.

These rants seem to follow a similar pattern. First the author qualifies his experience with Linux by claiming he started in the nineties with some ancient distro. Then he'll lay on the praise of how great Linux was or could of been or whatever. And then they all seem to end with the same nonsense about how Linux can't "win" or "suceed" until it is adopted by the corporate market. As if going corporate is what FOSS were somehow all about. Fine, whatever, go back to Windows then. You probably never left.

He says he programs, but he no doubt means that he clicks and drags stuff around in visual studio. Anyone who has never heard of eclipse, netbeans, or intellij is not a programmer. I'm sorry but he's just not. I'm having trouble believing this is for real.

Is Tomcat integration still left out of the community edition? I paid for a full IDEA 10 license, basically for this feature. I don't mind paying for software, but I think leaving Tomcat integration out of the community edition makes it hard to compete with Netbeans and Eclipse.

On the other hand, the Maven integration in either edition of IDEA is much nicer than either Eclipse or Netbeans.

At first I was really excited about G+, but that faded fast. Now the only reason I visit the site is to play poker. I don't post to Facebook either, and haven't for years, with one exception -- birthdays. I still use FB to wish close frieds and family many happy returns of their birthday.

If I have something to share online, my goto service is still Twitter.

The Soul of A New Machine by Tracy Kidder

None of this is surprising given only straight-A students get into college, and only straight-A college students get into graduate school. The days of the "gentleman's C" have long past.

Glaring usage error in the first sentence (s/there/their). Proofread. I mean the "article" is only three sentences for God's sake.
