This seems to be somewhat related: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varying_speed_of_light

"The variable speed of light (VSL) concept states that the speed of light in a vacuum, usually denoted by c, may not be constant in most cases."

"In 1998, Magueijo teamed with Andreas Albrecht to work on the varying speed of light (VSL) theory of cosmology, which proposes that the speed of light was much higher in the early universe, of 60 orders of magnitude faster than its present value."

Ohmigosh, but I'm anxiously awaiting comments from learned physics folks. The paper, which is above my head, seems to do a nice job of laying out the mechanisms, methodologies and results, but:

* Has the team squeezed out the uncertainty?
* Is the result meaningful to regular folks? If so, what is the meaning?
Debate Over Purpose of Bird-Egg Coloration Continues
The only thing an investor should be worried about is whether the entrepreneur can think creatively and get shit done. Fund-raising protocol is overrated.

INVESTOR SAYS: "Oh, shit, he asked me to sign an NDA -- what a noob!"

So sure, that's a faux pas. But it's the investor who is a fool if he doesn't at least see what the noob has cooking. Bowing to dogma won't help you excel in the Valley; it will only help you blend in.
I agree, it is unlikely that neutrinos can travel faster than the speed of light but I don't think we can rule out the possibility that the neutrinos measured weren't the ones generated. If you assume that there can be other forces (for lack of better word) faster than the speed of light, those forces would rarely interact with the physical universe governed by the speed of light, but when they do they could conceivably generate an interference pattern that could perturb other like particles across vast distances. So theoretically if the neutrinos generated at the source interacted with some faster than light force, the result could be perturbation of neutrinos close to the detectors, making it appear that the neutrinos actually arrived earlier than expected.
I'm looking into this theory as a means of explaining black holes.

I bought iPod Touches for my 2 oldest kids and my wife last Christmas. So, this year, instead of buying $30-$40 games, they have been able to buy several $2 games throughout each month.

It's been a blast, the savings are starting to really show, and they even like the games better.

Obviously they don't have to do anything with it, it's still profitable and has high margins. There's obviously some potential to grow though.

The touch is basically a prepaid phone with no phone chip. They could add that phone chip and absorb the margin hit through scale in China, etc. Bound to happen sooner or later.

It's a good question. I don't think I'll have an informed opinion until we've experienced what it's like to work in this way for a while.

But:

- Joseph Perla's suggestions are usually good

- It just feels better to me... Maybe because it's easier to auto-generate html (e.g. from a Django template). Maybe because now many of our pages won't need any javascript. Maybe because all the custom logic is in one place rather than spread over the html and the javascript. Maybe because writing javascript is harder than html :)
I remember reading around 2002-2004 about a sysadmin managing a very large "supernode" p2p server who was able to fine-tune its Linux kernel, and to recompile an optimized version of the p2p app (to allocate data structures as small as possible for each client) to support up to one million concurrent TCP connections. It wasn't a test system, it was a production server routinely reaching this many connection at its daily peak.

If it was possible in 2002-2004, I am not impressed that it is still possible in 2011.

One of the optimizations was to reduce the per-connection TCP buffers (net.ipv4.tcp_{mem,rmem,wmem}) to only allocate one physical memory page (4kB) per client, so that one million concurrent TCP connections would only need 4GB RAM. His machine had barely more than 4GB RAM (6 or 8? can't remember), which was a lot of RAM at the time.

I cannot find a link to my story though...

Not for illegal activity, according to an article on Tech Herald:

"Logs, seized equipment, and testimony from those arrested, seems to be the undoing for those connected to Anonymous and LulzSec. ...According to HideMyAss.com, ...services such as ours do not exist to hide people from illegal activity. We will cooperate with law enforcement agencies if it has become evident that your account has been used for illegal activities

The service stores logs for 30-days when it comes to Website proxy services, and they store the connecting IP address, as well as time stamps for those using the VPN offerings."

Furthermore - if you're using a VPN service to stay anonymous, you're only staying anonymous from whatever you're accessing, not the VPN service itself.

I'm neither pro- nor con-UEFI (but I run Debian, so keep your fucking hands off my laptop), but the quoted sentence is awesome, big-company speak. Does anyone you know want a "great security experience"?

In real life, I came home tonight and my wife had locked the house door on the way out to a dinner meeting. I unlocked the door and went inside my house... I felt secure... But it turns out that I was missing something. I could have had a "great security experience" instead of being merely secure.

Thumbs up to the MS team for taking something that was taken for granted, diluting it, confusing it, simplifying the resulting abomination and declaring that they're delivering a "great security experience". I assume that the writer is a Republican in the Rick Perry mold? (1)

While I think you're right, this is still pretty astonishing.

It's important to note that they're generalizing from a few hours of training data to millions of videos. So the classifier has to be picking up on something deep for it to be re-applied in such a flexible way.

I sort of imagine this approach as being akin to the way Bumblebee (the yellow VW Beetle in the first Transformers) lost his voice, but was able to communicate by switching between radio stations. As that recomposition process being richer and richer, it starts to approximate the real signal...

What a great idea! Now we can focus on how evil this guy is, and not have to talk about Sony who in an act of pure altruism is requiring any users of their service to waive their right to hold Sony liable for not bothering to protect things they have a legal obligation actually protect.

That can't be it because the error wouldn't straddle the speed of light. It would put the range at 1.000022c to 1.000080c, both of which exceed c, so they wouldn't have written it off as error.

Another route they could take with the ipod touch/phone idea, is make faceTime and its underlying software a first-class VOIP phone network with clients on multiple platforms and sell the ipod as a wifi phone without a subscription fee. I'm not sure how easy this would be given their agreements with cell providers, but it would be an interesting move.

Yeesh. What does that make it now, an outstanding rape/international extradition case, a massive falling out with Domscheit-Berg, the Guardian unredacted document leak and now this. I'm missing a lot more, I'm sure. Agree with him or not, you gotta feel for Julian Assange.

I met his biological father once at a party about a year ago. We didn't talk in much detail ("hey, so your son's under house arrest" isn't the best conversation starter) but he seemed cautiously upbeat and if nothing else proud of Julian. It was a strange reminder that despite all this he's still just a guy, like any of us, trying change the world for the better. Except we're not under house arrest with an international funds embargo and lawsuits circling like buzzards. He's still just a guy. I wonder how he's doing?

All these troubles can't be unconnected. I wonder if it's a fundamental result of his personality or his methods. That would be a tempting answer, but I'm not sure it's entirely true. Similarly tempting would be to assume that it's all pressure from the remarkable US political machine. But that's not entirely true either. I'd wager there's even some component of "Julian Assange, transnational wounded deer" - no country to back him up, no multi-million dollar board to sit on and nurse his wounds. He is, in that sense, uniquely vulnerable; alone among the infamous.

Julian once said that he volunteered to be the lightning rod of WikiLeaks. Well, here's the lightning. WikiLeaks will go on even as he burns, but what of the man? Is it fair to ask one person to be the punching bag for an idea? Is it fair for him to ask that of himself?

I took this to mean that before you met in real life, you researched the other person so intently you felt like you'd spent 2-3 evenings together (talking) already? Is that what you meant?

I dunno, in my experience OKCupid profiles (the best available online dating site the last time I was single) were just a thin veneer of bullshit designed to sell only the best qualities. Nothing wrong with that per se but I never felt like I learned anything real about a person other than a few facts sprinkled in here and there.
But for now, he explained, "we are not claiming things, we want just to be helped by the community in understanding our crazy result - because it is crazy".

is it really crazier than nothing being able to travel faster than light? it sure as hell isn't crazier than particles flitting into and out of existence at the subatomic level all the time. the fact is, that most things science has uncovered, particularly in the last 100 years, have been nothing short of hysterical. and for this, dear researchers, i thank you.
Doesn't much matter, all mobile devices worth using are constantly sending their data up to "the cloud", which, thanks to the USA PATRIOT Act's provisions for National Security Letters (NSLs), the federal government can access at any time, in real-time, without a warrant or even post-hoc judicial review.

The time has come to leave America. No state law can change this. The fourth has been dead for TEN YEARS next month, it is nothing short of naïve now to believe that it will get any better.

There are lots of nice places to live in the first world where the government hasn't gone totally insane. Move there.

Thanks for the feedback. Mobile is a work in progress. Actually I had a working mobile version but it was not very good so I disabled it.

What do you mean, make it easy to see all the breweries near me? It should automatically show you all the breweries in a certain range. Do you mean that you had to increase the range, and didn't like the refresh - and that instead of refreshing I should do it via ajax?

Users can actually add beers, breweries. Since you're the second person to mention that, clearly I need to make it more obvious and easier. I did focus on adding California and New York first, they are very complete. Now I'm thinking I need to focus on my local area, and physically go to the breweries to get their help promoting the site, as you mentioned.

Great feedback. Up until now I have been focusing on data entry, but I do see the need for UX improvement.

I've actually done a couple of Stumble Upon campaigns, they're at least as targeted as Facebook ads, and very cheap. I might have to branch out but it seems a bit crazy paying for visitors when I'm not actually making money on the site.
