For a 100-level class, there is a ridiculous amount of time and effort required. I'm falling behind in my other, higher level classes due to this. The fact that UNLV made ALL COM 101 classes "hybrid" classes (in-person and online) makes the class even more difficult. The class is "taught" by a TA, who clearly has no idea how to teach, and the online material is more like a history lesson on ancient philosophy. The class further emphasizes research skills, to the point where actually learning how to speak publicly (which I thought was the point) seems like a footnote (pun intended). The material is poorly organized, most of the students seem completely overwhelmed and lost, and I would drop it right now if I'd get any money back. Has anyone successfully found a way around NOT taking this class while pursuing a business degree? Is it the professor (Belk) that is responsible for this mess, or are all COM 101 classes at UNLV like this?

And before you answer "because we didn't watch him play," the same is true for plenty of old players who aren't footnotes. So hear me out.

Introduction

Oscar Robertson was drafted into the NBA by the Cincinnati Royals in 1960.

Through the first five years of his career, Oscar averaged 30.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 10.6 assists -- a triple double average over a five season span! Oscar did this in an era where the term triple-doubles was not yet created, and no similar statistic was tracked.

Through the first eight years of his career, Robertson averaged 30.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 10.6 assists per game. His true shooting percentage over this period was 57.0%. For reference, league averege was around 46.9% in his rookie season and 49.8% in his eighth season. He was one of the most efficient scorers in the game on top of being a top rebounding guard and top playmaker.

Yet partake in some all-time rankings discussion and you wouldn't think he was all that great. He's certainly not considered to be even close to the conversation for greatest point guard of all-time: the consensus is that Stephen Curry has already passed him and it's between Magic and Steph for the throne. Steph very well may be better, but why is it considered a foregone conclusion by so many fans?

Let's look into it under the surface.

Respect and praise from other legends and those who watched him play

• In the Associated Press Basketball Player of the Century voting in 1999, Oscar Robertson finished 2nd (behind Michael Jordan, of course) and ahead of Wilt, Russell, Magic, Bird, and Kareem.

• According to one of Michael Jordan's former teammates John Salley, MJ shot down the idea that he was the greatest basketball player of all-time. Instead, he selected Oscar Robertson. Quote from Salley:

> “He (MJ) started getting more and more popular and I was like ‘dog, they say you’re the greatest player to ever play’. He goes ‘come on sal stop’. I said no, people are saying you’re the greatest player to ever play. Ever. Forget everybody else MJ, they saying you. They only watched you play for four years, you’re the greatest player ever. He was like ‘you know that’s how they do shit, you know they put things together. They want to sell sneakers, they want to sell the league’. He (MJ) don’t believe he the greatest player to ever play… He would say, Oscar Robertson.”

Note: The quote sugg

You heard what I said. On or around June 10th. I wouldn't be saying this unless I was 100% sure. Edit: Confirmed June 11th.

This is because they said it themselves on their 10-K filed in March. First, go here: https://news.gamestop.com/static-files/55a92a3e-144e-4d2b-8ee6-930db9045593.

This is their 10-K. Now, go to page 40. Now, look at the asterisk connected to Item 40 of the 10-K.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES\ ** The information not otherwise provided herein that is required by Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 will be set forth in the definitive proxy statement relating to our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on or around June 10, 2021 which is to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This definitive proxy statement relates to a meeting of stockholders involving the election of directors and the portions therefrom required to be set forth in this Form 10-K by Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 are incorporated herein by reference pursuant to General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K.

Did GameStop just drop one of the most important dates for this short squeeze event in an obscure footnote at the end of their 10-K? Yes. They didn't even mention it in the beginning. In fact, most of their 10-K eludes to the "Annual Shareholders Meeting" without putting a date at all.

Last year, it was June 12th. See: https://news.gamestop.com/news-releases/news-release-details/gamestop-reports-preliminary-voting-results-annual-meeting. This year, it's June 11th. See https://www.reuters.com/companies/GME.N/events .

So, what does this mean? Hm, no idea. But I know that a share recall last year by some of the biggest shareholders led to GameStop going from $2.50 to almost $16 a few months down. You know, the thingy where shorts were covering their shorts!

Last year, GameStop gave until April 20th for shareholders to count themselves as voters, i.e. the "record date." What that means is that brokerages had around two weeks to find all these shares being called back -- i.e. recalled. This explains the massive ramp up in volume prior to this date!

Now, we all talk about this amorphous Texas law people are discussing in relation to the record date. First, a record date is simply the date by which voters qualify to vote if they actually own the shares i.e. not lent out. Second, what exactly is this Texas law? A few of you are saying that Texas law re

Also: to what extent does contemporary philosophy embody remnants of platonic philosophy? (say, in methodology or very implicit assumptions)

I am intrigued especially by the claims made by Lloyd Gerson in his book Platonism and Naturalism, introduced in this video, where he says Rorty takes deep assumptions of platonism to constitute philosophy itself. He argues that "much of the history of philosophy since the seventeenth century can be characterised as a series of failed attempts by several platonists seeking a rapprochement with naturalism."

I did what may be considered sacrilege, but the footnotes in my version on Audible just said the number and included a PDF. I couldn't always pull out my phone when listening, and so resolved to experience the book for the first time with no footnotes whatsoever.

Before I go back through and read the footnotes on a hardcopy, how much have I missed?

One thinks if Patrick Ewing's end of career time with Seattle as simply check-cashing before retirement, but I think Melo's time in Portland will be a larger part of Anthony's overall career remembrance, at the very least in his eyes. Remember, Melo was out of the league, no team would touch him as he was labeled a prima donna and a locker room cancer. Yet he has resurrected his career in Portland with Dame and CJ, and is playing meaningful minutes and chasing career stat accolades in a Blazers uniform. This will be remembered come HOF time. I'm not saying that he'll enter the hall as a Blazer, but his time here will not be considered the standard end-of-career way station.

At the end of footnote 51, it says “see sub.” What is it referring to? Usually its followed by a number (see sub 304) but not in this case.

Here are some examples:

1. Bartók pizzicato mark (circle with a line)
2. Tone clusters on the piano (marked with a back rectangle, not using Cowell's notation which is harder to typeset)
3. Nebenstimme and Haupstimme sign
4. All the basic percussion symbols (the emoji-like signs that resemble a tambourine, etc.)

Reading older scores, these signs did need a footnote, but some probably wouldn't nowadays. I suspect the first two wouldn't, but I'm not not sure anyone outside Scönberg and Berg has used No.3.

I've read a few posts and comments about confusion around if BlackRock can vote. Maybe someone has already clarified this but I've not seen it.

So in the footnotes of the ownership table it tells us that BlackRock CAN vote, with all their shares. Interestingly, it also tells us that Vanguard cannot with any of theirs. At least not directly - though I'm not smart enough to understand what they're trying to say regarding that.

Cheers.

Edit: I was trying to post this over in SuperStonk, but my account is too new, apparently. I saw the most confusion about this topic over there so if you're feeling charitable, please post this over there as well.

My question is: when you do college essays (as in, assigned essays by your teachers) they never want you to use footnotes, they want the whole ‘LastName, Pg#, Date’ and yet whenever I see an Academic essay or journal, there’s usually footnotes. I like footnotes because I feel like anything else is distracting, but is there some sort of difference between them and other intext citations that make them unusable in college?

Harrison Crane Statement of Purpose

“My Own Personal Mephistopheles”

I grew up in Richmond, California, with my mom, a reforming hippie. She named me Harrison, after the dark-and-quiet one of the Fab Four. My childhood home was a turn-of-the-century El Cerrito house my mom converted to a B&B in the shadow of Albany Hill. We kept a vegan kitchen and bed and boarded old white yogis, book binders, crafts fair tourists, deadheads, drifters, Neo folk-revival bands, Haight/Ashbury pilgrims, and gutter punks like we were the first stop on the White Privilege Underground Railroad (WPUR). My mom’s B&B account on Instagram had blown up—almost a quarter of a million followers. I swore I’d wake up to find an octothorpe where she used to paint a bindi.

My childhood was sheltered in what I call the “Everything is Beautiful” bubble. Instead of praying, my mom’s crystal-adorned friends would gush about how gracious the universe was. After every meal, every act of kindness, every time a cloud got out of the way of the sun to light that silent moment after someone’s last word; we’d look at each other like there was a God, just not that icky patriarchal one. If I hadn’t been smothered by so much grace, I might have never been so desperate for darkness, so dangerously curious. I may have never thought to look behind the green door.

My friend, Grant, lived on Albany Hill in a big Brutalist house, a concrete fortress. We’d become friends after I insisted he play with me at the park one day. Then he’d invited me over and learned how deprived I was of video games, violent movies, and the Internet. He was both amused and annoyed that he made me my first batch of GMO tater tots. I was like a thawed cave boy to Grant. But we got along well.

Grant’s dad, Lars, was a stockbroker at a firm in SF, and his mom, Danika, had been a minor tennis star before she tore her meniscus in the late 80s and gave up, I guess. I couldn’t tell if the money or the fortress itself were extensions of or the source of their austerity, but they were stiff people. They didn't seem married. Lars was nice enough to me. He stopped asking questions after he found out my mom was a hippy—it was all he needed to fill in the picture as I already wore hand-knit beanies and wool socks with Tevas—but he didn’t judge me one way or the other.

My mom never kept me from going over to Grant’s. I think she knew enough about the world and people to know it was inevitable I’d break free from her utopia

Thx!

I've read all similar questions here, and most of the answers suggest using `calibre` for this task, however, I'm trying to improve the output. Here I explain:

I've extracted text from a PDF using `pdftohtml` (part of Poppler) using -c and -s options. I got an HTML that contains text and **surprisingly** text is correctly un-wrapped, so the main problem of extracting text from PDFs is gone. If I feed this Html to calibre (specifically to `ebook-convert`) I get a dirty epub with the following problems that need to be solved:

- the title of the document repeats at header of every page -> it should be removed

- page numbers were in the pdf and appear in the epub, that make no sense -> they should be removed

- footnotes appear as normal text -> they should be recognized as footnotes and properly linked

- text is "dirty": there are many different classes for `<p>` paragraphs, with "`absolute position`" attributes, leading to messy text: sentences are in the correct order, but the different settings for every class make the text rendered slightly under, above, before or after (a few pixels) the place where it should be -> all the classes should be removed and replaced only with `<b> and <i>` when needed

- titles appear in bold, and are somehow recognized by calibre heuristic conversion, however, this process is not always correctly performed

- additionally, no table of contents is created, and should be

Is there any software or library that performs these tasks? I'm not a developer, but I'd rather code something than editing every book by hand. I can't believe that in 2021 there's not a program that does that, since open source world is so vast and rich with every kind of tools. I think that what I'm explaining is a very common need, and that thousands of people have felt the same need. Looking forward to hear your suggestions.

This may seem a little niche but its so frustrating when you're writing an essay and an article makes a reference to someone's argument and it goes "Blah made blah very blah (Smartass, 1974)." This is completely unhelpful because if I want to go and check what that source is saying, I cannot easily find it. I have to go to the bibliography and find that source (which may or may not be the same source as only the author and year is given and not the source itself). Then I have to go through possibly hundreds of pages of a massive book or an article to find that one reference.

There is an easier way. Just put in a footnote to where you got that point that includes the author, name of the source, year, publisher and most importantly PAGE NUMBER. It would save so many hours of lost human productivity and my sanity.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Tried searching for this on here, didn’t find it mentioned, so my bad if people already know about this.

Most of the time when I click on links in the footnotes it takes me to a dead page, on this episode and the random other one I tested. I’ve figured out that it’s adding “%C2%A0” to the end of the url when I click on it, sometimes twice; this seems to be hex code (used by html to replace certain characters that aren’t allowed in urls) for a non-breaking space, so my guess is that pressing enter at the end of the line to start a new line is adding this character, or it’s being inserted automatically when there’s not enough space in the line. It doesn’t look like it’s in the url to the user, because it’s invisible, but when it’s clicked on, the browser includes the character and then translates it into html-appropriate language and it shows up as “%C2%A0”. I’m on iOS and listen through Apple Podcasts, but it also happens when I test the links from the website, and on my Windows 7 laptop through Chrome, suggesting it’s a common interpretation protocol. I’m guessing that some websites have accounted for this and use redirects to get rid of this extra character automatically, which is why it’s only an issue sometimes. I don’t know if this can be prevented or fixed by the BtB team, it might be an issue iHeartRadio have to deal with, depends how their publishing ui works.

Also, the Buzzfeed article in the latest episode is linked twice lmao.

Hey,

I've been looking through the documentation for the biblatex package, but I have not found a way to reference the way I want to. The way I want my referencing style to look like is this:

I've found out that I can use \footcite{} to get the required footnotes, but I'm not sure how I can get the bold lettered title above the reference list/bibliography or how to format these footnotes to only show the information as shown above (author, article or book, and page).

The numbers from the footnotes are still there, it's just that it acts as normal text, we can no longer click on it to show the footnote. It's worked perfectly the entire week, but now, 5 hours before we need to hand the document in, it's just stopped working. How do we fix this?

Basically the title.

Any fictional faction of your choice gets dropped into the universe of Warhammer 40K. They get their own system and main planet to themselves and have their entire force with them. Every single member, both military and civilian, enters the WH40K universe.

The system is as big as it needs to be to house them all - but they're all as concentrated as they can be.

What is the weakest fictional faction that would have a real, noticeable impact on the universe of WH40K and the war between the various other factions?

I have already submitted a bug report, but I am really desperate to get a solution quickly.

When I save a document in .doc format, whether my own or received from someone else, and open it in LibreOffice, any tracked changes in footnotes shift two characters to the right.

In any deleted string, the first two characters are not marked as deleted any more, and the two characters that follow the deleted string are marked as deleted. In any added string, the first two characters are marked as added previously, while the first two characters after the string are marked as new additions.

This means that I have to disentangle every footnote and figure out what changes are actually introduced, which is particularly painful with punctuation changes.

I've had this bug for a long time - I don't really know how many versions at this point - but this time I have a text with 1000+ footnotes and an editor who opted for a different footnote standard than me. A deadline is looming and I'm desperate - has anyone seen this kind of bug before? And if so, have you found some kind of a solution?

Tried resetting profile, did not help.

I’m reading caffeine Blues for the 3rd time and I was wondering if there is a way to actually read the referenced materials noted in the book. I try googling the reference but nothing shows up.
