That last sentence defining the blockchain is fantastic.

If you hadn't heard of it yet, I attended a conference last year at UCLA entitled Dodging the Memory Hole, which I suspect is right up your alley. I know they're gearing up for another installment later this year at the Internet Archive in San Francisco. I suspect you'll find lots of friends there, and they're still accepting talks. https://www.rjionline.org/events/dodging-the-memory-hole-2017

@twittkopp You might find @unpaywall ‏or @mendeley_com to be useful tools depending on your needs. Esp as browser plugins/bookmarklets

@nileshtrivedi @thattai This Nature article (and the related articles at the bottom) will give you lots of detail

David, not sure how I'd missed your note originally, but a copy of the webmention just bubbled up for some reason!

I do use Woodwind occasionally; though it was often down or had issues it's been more reliable in the past few weeks/months than it had been in the prior year. I love the fact that I can use its interface to reply and react to posts directly.

Just a while back I'd written some thoughts on feed readers in general, but I also covered some interesting portions of Woodwind if you still haven't had the time to check it out: http://altplatform.org/2017/06/09/feed-reader-revolution/

@nlafferty I'm using @withknown to own my own bookmarks instead of letting a 3rd party do it.

@ChristophAdami I remember being leery when Quanta ran the first story on his "program" a year ago. I bookmarked this and his two recent papers to remember to take a look at the underlying work to see how far he's progressed. I suspect there is overreach on the part of the article itself and I'm curious if the papers are as rosy-colored, though on first blush, they didn't appear to have enough substance to substantiate these types of claims.

I did note in my highlights the brutal response his thesis advisor provided in the piece! Ouch.

I'd love to hear your detailed thoughts, though not in 140 character chunks, so please do write that piece.

@var_tec If you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you.
