Board members aren't supposed to be "independent"; they're supposed to support the stockholders' interests. If Icahn holds a significant piece of Xerox's shares, I don't see anything terribly inappropriate about it.
Nope, no idea. I've heard of "Wu-Tang Clan" before and know they're a music group of some sort, and that Shkreli had bought an album they made only one copy of and sold for some stupid amount. Inferring from the article, I come to the conclusion that "Ghostface Killa" is a member of Wu-Tang Clan, but it would've been nice to tell me that.
many people believed the Earth was round, they just thought it was a lot smaller
Nope; it was Columbus who thought it was smaller, and was wrong. The Earth's size was first accurately estimated by Eratosthenes around 200 BC by using the shadows cast by the sun in different locations, and his figure (which was in fact only 0.16% off from the true figure) has been the generally accepted one ever since.
We've known for three thousand years that the earth is round (no, Columbus's detractors didn't think the earth was flat. They thought is was bigger than Columbus did--and they were right.).
"The borders are slowly expanding"? The borders expanded once, when they took the Golan Heights, West Bank and the Sinai in 1967. They haven't expanded since then. In fact, they gave the Sinai back.
Minsky wasn't being disingenuous or ignorant. He was well aware that multilayer nets could solve XOR (not NOR, which wasn't a problem either way). His objection was that he thought multilayer nets were not trainable, which was indeed the general opinion at the time.
Now, as you point out, we have deep learning algorithms, but those didn't exist then.
The summary is crap from beginning to end. It confuses counting positions with enumerating them. It confuses the number of possible games with the number of possible positions. All in all, a typical timothy post.

And just like the Zune, they'll continue to do so right up until the day they cancel it.
...and Zoidberg!

This is worth waking up for. It wasn't long ago when Go programs couldn't beat most amateurs. They're improving fast.

Timothy is the Slashdot Glider!
Who wrote this summary? Oh. Right.
...complained about people taking self-defense courses, saying they infringed on his freedom to beat them up.

If he can go to Steve Jobs and tell him anything, he's on to something much bigger than Wikipedia, especially if he can also get a response.
Or Native American?

They haven't calculated all the legal positions. They've counted all the legal positions.
Do they also make type As, type Bs and type ABs?
Also, minutiae. Minutia is the singular.
Of course, they don't bother telling that to consumers who don't even know what a firewall is.
