A really nice explanation of the chain rule.
The Chain Rule
Somehow I've spent the last hour or so creating Anki cards for definitions from graph theory. I suppose, as Harry Hogge said "there's worse things." 😀

I have now, a working - albeit incomplete - implementation of a Jena TDB backed BeliefBase for Jason Agent applications. So far it's working with storing arity-0 beliefs and loads those on startup. Higher arity beliefs are also persisted, but I haven't tested initial retrieval of those on startup. And the current impl doesn't yet guarantee consistent ordering of the embedded terms for higher arity beliefs.

Tell Congress: We Can't Afford More Bad Patents
The Senate is considering a bill that would help save some of the worst patents and empower patent trolls. The PREVAIL Act, S. 2220, would sharply limit the public’s right to challenge patents that never should have been granted in the first place. UPDATE: On Nov. 21, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 11-10 in favor of PREVAIL. We will continue to oppose this misguided bill. Help us by telling your members of Congress to oppose it when it comes up for another vote.
