I wrote about the @internetarchive verdict for @motherboard. People who care about digital ownership have had a rough week, that's for sure. vice.com/en/article/y3w

Publishers are going to screw over any student using IA for books not easily available anymore. Several books I’m using for my thesis as sources aren’t available unless I pay exorbitant prices for a physical copy, as they’re out of print, hence having to use IA. twitter.com/internetarchiv…

@BionomiaTrack
Despite all attempts to recover all these attributions & claims, 350k have evaporated. More than 1M occurrence records had been removed from the

@BionomiaTrack
Began another refresh of data from @GBIF but there'd be a risk of disconnecting 400k+ links scribes have made to collectors/determiners. Time to fan out some email inquiries to data publishers, wait for repairs to be made, and then start all over again...

🧵: More than you may realize, this raises important qstns about anti-indigenous massacres on
@Wikipedia
. BRM page uses the "military conflict" infobox template, which provides the "belligerents" on both sides language. Incidentally, so does the Wounded Knee Massacre page. 1/26
Wikipedia infobox of Wounded Knee Masscre. Labeled as "Part of the Ghost Dance War and the Sioux Wars." Describes belligerents as United States and Miniconjou and Hunkpapa Lakota. Describes casualties and losses as 31 killed and 33 wounded for US, 90 killed and 4 wounded for Lakota. Below that is a note that 200 civilians were killed and 46 civilians were wounded.
The infobox of the Wounded Knee Massacre page in edit mode. Clicking on the box reveals the template: "Infobox military conflict"

Big problem with @Wikipedia entry for Bear River Massacre (Jan. 1863). Describes U.S. Army and Shoshones as "belligerents." There was only one "belligerent" and it wasn't the Shoshones. Also, no citation to Darren Perry's 2019 book on the subject @shoshonelder

Last preprint from my PhD out now! In most protein+ML, people re-run the same calculations to ‘fix’ structures, calculate biophysical properties and create train/test splits. We calculate these in the cloud and share FAIRly via HSDS+PyTorch

I'm delighted to report that MIT and the W3C have reached an agreement and that the W3C will kick off 2023 with funds and assets. Many thanks for all your support and to all those who worked towards reaching an agreement. Enjoy the holidays!

As you may recall: • MIT partly hosts W3C, but withdraws Dec 31 • A W3C nonprofit needs to take over on Jan 1 • MIT has assets (dues, contracts, IP…) to transfer to new W3C • I was elected to the W3C Board & in the negotiations Two weeks from cutover it's going… poorly. 🧵
