@spigot Yes, you have to publish first. Looks like there's something putting a lot of hidden svg files into your content. A plugin perhaps?
You can also find some potential help in the chat at https:/
@mrkrndvs Ultimately you could have more text than the original, so there's really no limit to the text beyond what your system will allow. I've not tried annotating .pdfs, but I suspect you could do it similarly to how I've done books via Kindle which let's me export/import data (example: http:/
For more substantive annotations I try to add them slightly off to the side in a different font/size, but you'll also notice that some of the blue highlights also have "hidden" annotations if you hover over them with your mouse. Things can be a bit crowded with the additional highlights added by Hypothesis (and other people), though I can choose to disable them if I want for my personal work. Hopefully it's relatively obvious based on what's on the page which parts are the original text and which are my additions. When excerpting articles like Watters', the canonical URL on the page points to the original, so all the SEO and links ultimately redound to the original.
I like the idea of explaining them better and may take a crack at doing so from a documentation standpoint.
If I recall the reason that prompted hiding it by default correctly, I'd be more worried that you're cutting out a much larger group of users who might not otherwise find the meta box if it were hidden by default than you'd be helping by hiding it.
I've been looking high and low for the hidden chicken plugin in @withknown to no avail. I did find some spam though...
Even Facebook has a (well-hidden) toggle to allow you to see "Most recent" posts (an unadulterated feed??) instead of "Top Stories" (the algorithmic feed). Sadly one has to know it's there and painfully and consciously choose it, which I'm sure very few do.
UX/UI Suggestion: Meta box in the admin UI with PressForward metadata and comments · Issue #902 · PressForward/pressforward https:/
I'd suggest that it would be worthwhile and convenient to have a meta box in the admin UI for editing the final draft that contained all of the pre-existing PressForward metadata.
Bits and pieces of it appear in other portions of the PressForward UI throughout the vetting (reading, nominating) process (typically hidden under the "info" button which pops up the details), but having portions of it while actually editing the draft of the post would be very handy/useful. In particular, it would be nice to have access to the comments which are added to the particular piece in the earlier parts of the process.
@jbjohansson It's hidden away in the code of WithKnown. Reference here: http:/
Deep learning for computational biology | Molecular Systems Biology
Technological advances in genomics and imaging have led to an explosion of molecular and cellular profiling data from large numbers of samples. This rapid increase in biological data dimension and acquisition rate is challenging conventional analysis strategies. Modern machine learning methods, such as deep learning, promise to leverage very large data sets for finding hidden structure within them, and for making accurate predictions. In this review, we discuss applications of this new breed of analysis approaches in regulatory genomics and cellular imaging. We provide background of what deep learning is, and the settings in which it can be successfully applied to derive biological insights. In addition to presenting specific applications and providing tips for practical use, we also highlight possible pitfalls and limitations to guide computational biologists when and how to make the most use of this new technology.

Thanks @snarfed, brilliant find as I wouldn't have thought of it. I took out the first one which I'd had hiding in a widget and moved into my header for clarity a few months back.
I vaguely recall putting the others in many months ago, but honestly I can't remember for the life of me where they came from (probably IWC) or which portion of my WordPress is actually generating them now. I also don't seem to recall where I was hiding my code that injects my rel="icon" photos (primarily for shortcut buttons on iOS and Android), though I'm guessing they're in the same place. Any suggestions on where a clever guy who's too sleep deprived to find them right now may have hidden them? None of the IndieWeb plugin sub-plugins would be generating them quietly could they?!
The quirky part is that all three lines have been in there a while and (to my knowledge) haven't been causing problems until about a week ago.
The 6 or so outstanding webmentions went right through without any issue, so I'll mark this as closed for now unless problems continue.
@josemontesdeoca @abrams Thanks. Definitely a UX/UI issue. The "View Dashboard" button should be accessible from top menu AND settings rather than "hidden" only on http:/
Keep up the great work.
As someone who uses <a href="http://www.boffosocko.com">my own WordPress site</a> as a research notebook/tool and commonplace book (as well as for owning all of my own data and social posts), I'm <a href="http://boffosocko.com/2016/06/17/hypothes-is-and-the-indieweb/">already loving</a> this plugin and can see some tremendous potential for improvements on both it and on the hypothes.is platform in the future.
While I've played around with other platforms like Genius.com as well, Hypothes.is seems to have a more focused approach to how I prefer to use annotations, highlights, and marginalia on the web. It also has a growing API and related suite of tools which portend more flexibility and growth for the future.
Still, one must be cognizant for how these sometimes "hidden" tools can be used for abuse and bullying on the web: <a href="http://boffosocko.com/2016/04/07/webmentions-for-improving-annotation-and-preventing-bullying-on-the-web/">Webmentions for improving annotation and preventing bullying on the web</a>[http:/
Brief reply to: Is majoring in liberal arts a mistake for students? https:/
What magisterial sounding pontification! Sadly, it’s not much different than the early philosophies of Socrates and Plato or many of the other early progenitors of the humanities and liberal arts. I get the impression that the author hasn’t read much philosophy and has not much grounding in the liberal arts. While I agree with the spirit in which the piece is written, I find it deplorable that there aren’t what should be obligatory mentions of words like trivium, quadrivium, or philosophy, but rather the corpus of work in which the author seems steeped is that of only modern day authors of popular science (Pinker, Gladwell, Kahneman, et. al.) who have some interesting viewpoints, but ones which require at least a grounding in the liberal arts to pick apart. Several times Khosla demeans the liberal arts and uses the repeated example that a reader should be able to pick apart and think critically about articles in The Economist. To do this requires a knowledge of logic and rhetoric which are two of the pillars of what? — yes, the liberal arts!
He also seems unaware of big movements within the humanities and sciences like Bill Gates and David Christian’s Big History Project which are going a long way towards providing a more balanced education in history, economics, physics, chemistry, biology and evolution. I find here, no prima facie evidence of his knowledge of Thomas Kuhn or Karl Popper, which might help win me to his argument. In all, aside from the passing references to one or two recent works, this entire argument is not much different from many that could have been written at the beginning of the industrial revolution. How blind so many must be to seemingly think there’s something new here.
Most appalling to me here is that the author doesn’t seem to give even a passing nod or small wink to C.P. Snow or “The Two Cultures” [http:/
Yes, we certainly need more emphasis on the quadrivium portion of the liberal arts, and in particular mathematics and critical thinking which seem to have been left by the wayside. It is deplorable that the highest extent of mathematics that 99% of college students are exposed to terminates in the 17th century for the most part. Sadly, many college students are left without the ability to think critically and deeply, not to mention the hordes of students in America who barely make it through high school and don’t attend college. One also only needs to skim through recent issues of Nature [http:/
Yes, we need far, far more, but alas, this poor article only touches the tip of the issue and it sadly only does so with less than half of the picture.
Review of Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth https:/
Over the past four years I've read several books, similar in concept to this one, including many by Bart Ehrman who possibly has the largest number of texts in the area including: [book:Did Jesus Exist?: The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth|11543839], [book:Jesus, Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Contradictions in the Bible & Why We Don't Know About Them|6101996], [book:From Jesus to Constantine: A History of Early Christianity|2397133][book:The New Testament|260609], and a good portion of [book:The Text of the New Testament: Its Transmission, Corruption & Restoration|240196].
Of the group, which has a lot of overlap in general thesis and examples, this is by far the best in terms of presentation of a story and all the details. Aslan's writing is interesting, evocative, well-researched, and intrinsically entertaining. As a product, in part, of the Johns Hopkins Writing Seminars, I'm loathe to acknowledge a graduate of Iowa's wriiting program, but Aslan certainly does great credit to his alma mater. He does a relatively good job of describing his own background for those interested in his viewpoint from a historical perspective. He also does an excellent job of pointing out what his own opinions are as well as highlighting where his though differs from that of other scholars in the field and where theirs differs from each other.
While this is most assuredly a popular-press title and aimed at a far broader audience (like many of Ehrman's works) than the more specialized scholarly treatises he references, I have to take Aslan (or far more likely his editors) to task for the poor presentation/layout of the notes provided in the back. The book would appear to be relatively well footnoted with exception to the fact that the footnotes don't appear within the text, nor do they appear even at the bottom of the pages. Even worse, the 50+ pages of excellent (and actually read-worthy) notes in the end are sorted by chapter and have no indicators to the portions of the main text to which they directly relate, which make them terrifically painful for other scholars to contemplate using in any functional way. Hopefully future editions will at least include numbered indicators in the main text that tie to the notes in the back. While this is aimed toward the masses, it's really a shame that the presentation of the notes within the book wasn't handled a bit better. At least the biblical references were included within the primary text - and these in themselves do a great job of indicating the synoptic nature of the New Testament gospels.
One thing that Aslan includes that I haven't seen thus far in much of my reading is a fantastic overview of first century Palestine from a sociological and political perspective to help put the balance of the story into context. All of the major players seem to be well represented and given reasonable weight. If only more histories could be written in this way, perhaps the world would read non-fiction for entertainment rather than the litany of romance, thrillers, sci-fi/fantasy, and general fiction that dominates the best-seller lists. His overview is not only interesting in and of itself, it takes up almost the first third of the text and continues on as necessary through the remainder of the text to provide continued context.
In summation, the book was well-researched, entertainingly presented and phenomenally interesting, even to someone who's read the majority of the details in the recent past. I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone (regardless of their religious leanings), particularly as the subject concerns two of the most influential figures in all of western history/philosophy. Aslan presents some excellent facts, ideas, and thoughts that are assuredly not known by a majority of people, who really should be aware of them.
