    The same blog post in Chinese is provided as a 10 MB PDF [1]. My PDF reader simply gives up while loading it and prints insane amounts of error messages. I'm guessing they converte…

    Certainly. In my opinion an explicit quote of part of the original article would have been better than paraphrasing. Quoting reinforces the value of the source (“we couldn't write …

    I really need something like this. However, I watched the video and came back unconvinced. You don't show me how to manipulate data. How do I get it into the canvas? Can I get it f…

    I would translate it exactly like that, though it's actually not ad hominem but ad humanitatem , really. We are all biased creatures, as others have pointed out. I think the critiq…
