The best one is OurBigBook CLI of course! :-)

White papers are a form of advertisement. They are not peer reviewed papers and are generally not reproducible; their value lies entirely in trust of their publisher rather than being able to verify their claims.

This being a class is bullshit because it is not a clade, notably birds are not considered reptiles, but they are clearly in the clade.

We map each point and a small enough neighbourhood of it to ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, so we can talk about the manifold points in terms of coordinates.

Does not require any further structure besides a consistent topological map. Notably, does not require metric nor an addition operation to make a vector space.

Manifolds are cool. Especially differentiable manifolds which we can do calculus on.

A notable example of a Non-Euclidean geometry manifold is the space of generalized coordinates of a Lagrangian. For example, in a problem such as the double pendulum, some of those generalized coordinates could be angles, which wrap around and thus are not euclidean.

The fatal flaw of OAuth is that websites have to enable specific providers, they can't just automatically select the correct OAuth for a given email domain. This means that the vast majority of websites will only provide the most widely popular providers such as Google, and the like, which means people won't have decent privacy.

So you are just better off with password logins and a decent password manager.
