I fiddled with a similar idea for XML a long time ago, but I lacked the skills to pull it off. Also it's harder in Python, several-years-more-experienced-me thinks you really want a combinator approach for this as JsonGrammar takes, and while that can be done in not-Haskell, it's certainly a lot easier in Haskell for a number of reasons.
Brokers guarantee VWAP only if they also are paid a very healthy commission. They generally lose to VWAP, but makeup for it in premiums.

Plus, if you are dealing with a large broker they may just cross your order with an offsetting order (or their own position, execute nothing in the market and keep the entire premium.

I'd like to see a shutter-speed race. My last 2 (inexpensive) cameras were slow on the draw and I frequently missed good shots of my kids. If I tried to take an action shot, it was nothing but blur.
As a teen I refused to put the punctuation in the quotes, because it felt wrong to me. I wish I had a better articulation, or even knew that the British did it the way I did. I had a teacher who consistently dinged me on it, but I persisted. Finally I've been vindicated!
Regarding phonetic spelling, non-phonetic spelling such as is found in English is unusual - the idea of a French or German spelling bee is incoherent. Even though a book such as Le Morte d'Arthur is unfamiliar at first, the spelling differences disappear pretty quickly once an English speaker's attention is focused on it.
Interesting bit toward the end:

But the collapse of the Populists after the election of 1896 and Western Union's enormous political power
kept this reform movement at bay. Not until 1910 did Congress clearly define both the telephone and telegraph
as common carriers. By then many newspapers had glommed onto a new service: Marconi's wireless telegraph.

One has to wonder: did the desire to be rid of the Western Union monopoly influence the creation of the radio? Would there have been less pressure to develop alternative methods of communication if WU had been broken up? Or would there have been more, since each competitor would presumably be racing to generate some kind of advantage over the others?

Yeah that's a good question. Wireless was popular for maritime use even in the very early days when it was dreadfully expensive and unreliable.

I think it would have continued to develop if only as specialized shipborne equipment until it was cheap and reliable enough to compete with wires on the basis that the network is so much cheaper.

This raises a thought in my mind though: If the battle is lost over network neutrality for the wired internet, I wonder if that will spur the development of more practical satellite-based wireless internet.

PS: I think the "Victorian internet" analogy is hugely overstated. The telegraph network was an electromechanical system that used large amounts of manual labor for very little channel capacity. There were technological limitations that guaranteed it would remain expensive and exclusive.
The Day the Secret Service Raided a Role-Playing Game Company
Disclosure: I am a low level C API developer, so I have a lot of self interest in this.

The problem that I have with a blanket indemnification like this is how large the coverage could be. Sure, you should cover cases that involve your business model, like the app store or IAP, but what about cases that are just usage of functionality?

Hypothetically, if the patent was over the shape of the buttons used(which would be more of a copyright or trademark issue, admittedly), and that changing the shape would make it not infringe, should the API owner, cover that? Or if the API is used as an input or output for a patented algorithm, like an audio or video codec, should that be covered? I honestly don't believe that the API owner should cover either of those cases, because they are too broad, and make them responsible for a LOT more cases than before.

In this case, however, I do agree that Apple, Google, and a LOT of other companies(Valve, Sony, and MS because of gaming DLC) have a vested interest in squashing the trolls as quickly as possible, because this patent covers a good portion of their business models for their markets.

Policy Exchange are a Tory think tank and are generally seen to be full of shite. Of course they're going to be trying to create a wedge between private and public sector workers. The reality is that everyone is being screwed by the people at the top, and they know that if they divide us up and get the private sector to hate the unions, and think that they're getting a better deal somehow, the anger about cuts and rising food prices and whatnot is going to be directed onto other people at the bottom, instead of the true tyrants here. Read what the TUC says in the rest of the article.
Understood, but what about this: Before reading this article I didn't know about these rules. In Germany, we seem to follow the "british way". Couldn't resist..

So this argument seems only to hold if you a) assume that your readers are from the USA (or NA in general, no idea about Canada?) so that they value this style and b) that they don't just stumble upon your texts: They need to know where you're from.

This is necessary because it seems that a British person could easily claim that you're incompetent because you follow the exact rule we're talking about, but it doesn't apply locally for him. Okay, that's a bad example. AE and BE in writing is probably different enough so that someone speaking/writing BE will just chalk this up as another difference.

But here comes the rest of the world. We know about fall/autumn, colo[u]r and whatnot, but I'd say that it's not generally easy to say where some english text originates from, geographically/where the author lives. So if I cannot distinguish AE and BE with certainty, do I blame you or a BE person for handling this "wrong"?

Thanks! :)
Tips For Installing Cyclecomputers
I wonder if someone has developed a stereoscope interface to Google Earth?
that is a 'sensitivity' race, actually...

Shutter speed, ISO, and Aperture in photography are related in much the same way as Voltage, Current, and Resistance.

To change any of those three (in your case shutter speed) you have to compensate in one or both of the others. Lens aperture is limited mainly by form-factor (can't have a large aperture in a tiny zoom lens) and is therefore rather constant across Point-and-Shoot cameras. but Sensitivity can be improved by having higher-quality sensors and supporting circuitry.

My first P&S camera had a maximum ISO of 400 and was very noisy at that level. my first DSLR did 1600 (4x as sensitive) and the current bleeding edge is 128000 (8x more sensitive again). Even in inexpensive point and shoot maximum ISO seems to be around 1600 (or more).

Twitter is over capacity
Text Channels seems like a well organized and thought-out project. That said, it's not something that I'd use. It feels like a re-implementation of RSS with some social filters applied. While this works for some people, I have not yet found a social filter that I trust to accurately disseminate content to me. Personally, I prefer RSS over this because I can control specifically the sources that I'm interested in. TextChannels seems to allow a custom channel to be created, but why would I do this and hope that the social filter is applied the way I want. If there is add'l value that I'm missing from this product, it's not obvious to me. If this is the case, I would work at refining your value proposition to illustrate something more than "social news aggregator".

If you'd like more specific feedback, make your request as specific as possible and I'll focus on that.

I'm sure you simply meant to make this comparison based on the fact that both implementations execute scripted functions on the data store server. However, I think there is a very important distinction that warrants a clarification: Stored procedures are saved on the server and then referenced by name. Redis scripting requires that the code be transmitted in each request.

I think some people get inspired at an early age and tend to go on stuff like that. I didn't grow up on a farm, but I know my dad inspired me. He almost never had anyone do anything for the house, or the car or anything. I was taking vacuum cleaners apart before I was 5, finding out how they worked. I ended up going into Physics in college because I wanted to find out how everything works, as it seemed the most logical choice for learning a bit about most everything. In high school, I also took wood shop, machine shop, drafting, autocad, etc... along the way. I also repaired my own car (A jeep, so I got lots of experience :)

So, I know my dad inspired me at a very young age, and I've been mechanically inclined as long as I can remember (I'm sure watching the This Old House, the New Yankee Workshop, The Woodwright's shop, and every other sunday morning PBS show and car show with my dad probably helped)

He mentioned "blur" specifically which is a function of shutter speed, not shutter lag, the latter being the time between the press of the butten and the photo being taken.

This too has improved over the years. The largest source of lag is the time needed to focus. Most, if not all cameras will focus with a half-press of the shutter release and will take the photo when you press down fully. This helps in some, but not all cases.
Agreed! I read more books than blogs.

If you are going to read one really old book, please consider making it Michele de Montaigne's "Essays." It's amazing and will change the way you look at life. Then Shakespeare.

Blogs can also be really useful in a way that books cannot, because books have all sorts of limitations (there are lots of really great essays that will never be collected into books, books take a long time to go to print, books require an audience of a certain size to survive, books don't come with built-in communities or followups, etc). The trick is to avoid stuffing your face with blog junk food ("latest startup that no one will know about in 2 years") and stick to the good stuff. There is also less good stuff to go around, which makes it easier ;)
