If Wikipedians are so trivially corruptible by money, ads are still irrelevant to the process. Just offer a donation for warmer treatment. (The Foundation does not reject corporate donations.) Or an outright bribe.

Also, the organization that handles funds – the Foundation – has very little special editorial power, and their actions are especially transparent. (For example, their real names are necessarily known, whiich is not the case for other editors.) Attempting to influence content by being an advertiser, then making ad spends conditional on favorable bias, would be about the worst possible way to try to influence Wikipedia content. You'd be spending a lot, via a path that's under the most scrutiny. You'd probably prompt staff to be extra harsh on you to avoid any appearance of infuence.

Anyone who really wanted to spend to influence Wikipedia would just hire editors outside the funds/ads-handling organization. That threat is larger, and unaffected by the presence or absence of advertising.
That's because the NFL is a monopoly. In soccer, if the English leagues unreasonably restricted the views and footage broadcasters could capture, then it would affect their competition with the Spanish, Italian, and German leagues. The standards rise, and those standards are translated over to the international competitions. The leagues are also a lot less powerful, since the clubs are independent businesses and can (and did, in the case of the Premier League) choose to withdraw from existing leagues and start their own.

Soccer also uses a lot more of the field at a time, instead of clustering around the line of scrimmage.

2007 the 2nd circuit upheld an anti-bootlegging law, that prevents people from selling unauthorized recordings of live concerts.

I don't agree with it, but I think that under the law an NFL "performance" might be covered.

Of course the concert is a performance of a copyrighted work so who knows unless the teams are merely "performing" copyrighted written plays?

They are usually automatically installed with one of those "opt out" options.
Don't you think intelligent people have better things to do than to rewrite old code, just because Apple's platform lacks important features that have been well-known for several decades?

The notion that every time we have a new language/platform, we must REWRITE THE WORLD!! is absurd and a huge waste of resources. We should stop making excuses for it.

I believe that CS courses should include more real world practices and situations. After interviewing hundreds of cs grads over the past decade it only re-enforces that belief.
... and if he were not in the perpetual-motion machine business taking a calm attitude wouldn't be a bad idea either. So logically it's not a very informative data point.

Nevertheless, I did watch him interviewed and give the real-time interactivity demo to an AU gamer mag a few months ago (I think it's still on Youtube).

I know a bit about the traditional polygon rendering pipeline and I was quite impressed with his response to his critics.

I'm reserving judgment since there are still big unanswered questions. But I would not expect him to be satisfying my curiosity with answers if his strategy is a legitimate attempt to develop the technology with a bigger partner (e.g. a console company or first-party studio).

Why "Nearly every bullshit job requires a BS degree"? The answer is in the news report:"a generation of jobless graduates."
I know that's the rule, but my question is: how the hell does play-action even work? Can't the defense read the line instead of watching for a handoff?
sadly enough the emphasis on education (a good thing) in asian countries (china and india especially) is a driver for diploma greed. there are plenty of institutions , hand in hand with the govt administrators, which set up shop with little or no infrastructure. the stigma associated with someone who does not have a college degree is high and you can forget about a job as a high school grad when a college grad shows up to do the same work. too many students, too few good institutions and corrupt officials result in phantom diploma's. hence many times , the real education starts at the workplace.
if the original article is correct, then it would seem they are just shifting unemployment from one kind of majors to another, cause there was no mention of employement shortage in other majors.
All-round Scam on Facebook Pushes Backdoor Trojan
Security researchers from Microsoft lately detected one significantly all-round social engineering scam that dupes Facebook visitors into loading one especially malicious backdoor Trojan, which's equipped with keylogging abilities. And though the e-mails utilized for wooing the users are different they actually take onto spoofed YouTube web-pages, published Help Net Security dated November 18, 2011.

Thus, when a user lands on one such fake YouTube web-page, he's told for making his Web-browser up-to-date with one given ActiveX component, which however, is an advanced backdoor that bypasses firewall and has been identified as Backdoor:Win32/Caphaw.A. The malware contains virtually all malicious functions associated with loading File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server, keylogger, as well as proxy server onto the target PC. Additionally, there's one integral remote desktop feature that's associated with Virtual Network Computing (VNC), the familiar open-source project.

I had the chance to speak to one of the Couchbase guys about Ubuntu One-like systems at Couchconf, and gained some (limited) knowledge. Be aware that some of this is guesswork, as I don't know Ubuntu One all to well.

First things first: I think the failure of "really large systems" does not mean that the underlying technology is bad - most likely, it was a wrong pick for all the specific cases that this product needs. The number of variables is just so high that what looks like a good pick first, is bad in hindsight. As far as I know, Ubuntu One is one of the largest CouchDB based systems. (Zynga being the other)

As far as I learned, it is an Authorization/Authentication issue, more than a performance issue. So, the proposed solution for such systems is to use (at least) one CouchDB database per user - CouchDB supports authentication per Database, so this usage is perfectly fine. So each user gets n Databases that are named after some clever scheme (lets say "{username}/{contacts}", couchdb allows "/" in database names). Actually, as far as I learned, CouchDB handles this without major problems. The data model is also great: you can replicate data between all the users cell phones, desktops etc. just by replicating the correct database. So far, no problems.

The problem is sharing. So lets say, I want to share my business contacts with my co-founder. CouchDB only allows database-level authentication, so once I give my co-founder access, he will see all of my contacts. This includes the Replication API: once I have access, I can basically slurp the whole database (filters cannot be enforced). So, as you can manage a whole universe of databases, the solution here is simple: setup another database, say "{myuser}-{mycofounder}/shared_contacts", give both of us access and setup filtered push-replication in my database to the other database. So, now the source replicator can be trusted to be mine. So, suddenly, my nice "To the Cloud? Out of the door, left line, one database each"-system turns into a really big graph where every relationship between datasets is a database itself, along with many processes caring for moving data along those lines. Also, once my data is shared with my co-founder, its is basically public, as I readily copied it to him - deletion becomes a messy topic. (As long as the replication chain is intact, deletions are propagated, but honestly: who wants to support such a system?)

So, along those lines, one big problem becomes obvious: CouchDB does not support document-level authentication. Considering the data model of CouchDB (basically, views are aggregations of the global document store), this is also a hard thing to do, because it means that every view has to be filtered per user. On the upside: the Couchbase also said that they would really like to support it.
There's quite a few joking replies on this thread, most of which I got a few chuckles out of.

But the problem just keeps popping back up.

In Australia we had the very-close run thing of the ISP based internet filter. This got as far as live trials. Most people didn't mind an opt-in filter, but this one had no unfiltered option.

The government planned to hand off censorship to some type of unelected board, and the entire thing was cloaked in secrecy, so you weren't allowed to know the contents of the 'filtered' content (because they say that just makes people go and look at them, a circular argument if ever there was one).

Of course they promised it would only be kiddie porn, terrorists and all that type of thing.

Then the trial list got leaked onto Wikileaks and of course there were all sorts of ordinary sites caught up in the mesh (some had been hacked by porn sites in the past, but had been cleaned up again). There were others that didn't fall under the government criteria, and it was just obvious they didn't have any intention to stick to their own criteria.

Luckily a close election was forecast so the government dumped the thing as it needed every vote it could.

But, as you say, the entrenched businesses and terrified of being taken out of business and are doing everything they can to get controls placed onto the internet.

Australian retailers are getting killed by internet imports and internet price-checking (ie, going into a retail store, picking the item, checking on a phone for a better price, and ordering online). The big-name retailers have already moaned to the government to do something, which of course they got laughed at by the general public so dropped it.

But the point is this ; if the tools were there, the government might have proposed a 'report for being un-Australian site' type button. It's equally possible to imagine a 'report for exporting jobs overseas' button - or whatever other crazy scenarios you can think of.

I can't see it stopping until a constitutional amendment or similar high-level decision is made declaring government fiddling off limits. There's US constitutional protection for owning a gun, or freedom of speech, but not one guaranteeing a free internet. Eventually free internet is likely to become as important as both put together.
I think the Godwins law thing has worn itself out now. We can't develop a history blank hole because it becomes the party/war/leader who must not be mentioned. The law is a fight against argument ad hitlerum, not against talking about the nazis.

Hi bonesinger, I am a web developer from Vietnam, and I've always wanted to be part of some startup in the US, seriously. I read lots of news on what's happening in the SV. Yet it's difficult for me to get started since I don't have connections in the US.

What I have to offer is my technical expertise, a very cool social web app framework that I've been building for the last 3 years. How cool is it? OK, let's say, I can build a quora clone within 1 month, fast and scalable. It's using Mongodb, redis, nodejs in case you're curious and has been applied to some websites that I probably shouldn't mention here yet.

You need more technical expertise and are lazy to learn it, and that's definitely what I'm good at. Also, from what you mentioned, my guts is telling me you've got enough passion and business skills to promote/run a product. That's exactly what I need for some of my ideas that I'm about to do.

So, to sum up, here's my take to your question: You can leave the development to me (or you can develop with me) and start thinking about other business-related stuff to make it success. That way it might work out for both of us. I've been thinking about this kind of collaboration a long long time before I read your thread but this is my first time I write about it.

If you're interested in this collaboration, please contact me at : { my HN nick name } @ gmail . Thanks for reading & bye for now

Some computers don't have many USB ports - the one in the article photo only has two.

I agree that it's not very useful. There's probably a complicated way to achieve something similar using a proper hub, a bunch of sticks, and software. But most people are fine with a bunch of sticks for different things - "my live boot OS", "my music", "my photos", "all my other stuff".

More useful would be a USB stick that came with stickers to describe content - cute little camera icons or music stuff. Or at least a strip that the user can write on (with a pen, not file system) on the case.

As others have said - it is pretty though.
Tips - successed tips in fitness
today most of us when going to the gym less able to enjoy sporting goods. also a fact when most people currently receive the most benefit from these tools.
That is exactly how I understood the problem. The term "doesn't scale" is far to fuzzy to describe the problem.

I also see no mechanism in CouchDB to solve this. If such a problem exists, I expect a company to react with architectural improvements. If that doesn't happen, the software does not fit the use case and has to be exchanged. This is really bad for the manufacturer for his reputation as well for the user who loses massive amounts of his investment.

In most cases you will get better results with PNG. PNG has a slightly bigger overhead, so GIF wins for extremely tiny images (with a size about a dozen pixels or less) but after that more advanced compression algorithm in PNG wins.
However, you have to remember to choose the right type of PNG (there is no sense in saving black-and-white lineart as true-color PNG). PNG also may containt chunks of additional info, you can get rid of them too.
Also, there is an interesting PNG8 format which allows you to have alpha transparency with indexed color palette in supporting browsers, but in IE6 it will behave just like gif with index transparency (pixels having any transparency will appear completel transparent). See http://www.sitepoint.com/png8-the-clear-winner/
Ok, this magnetron-on-lawnmower thing is interesting me. The problem I'm seeing is that unless you run an extension cord to the mower, it's not actually going to do anything. Steam is a useful way to turn pure heat into something that can push a piston, but turning water into steam doesn't actually generate any new power. I think it would be really cool to do... but the end result would surely be no better than simply putting an electric motor into your lawnmower.

Also, this definitely reminds me of all those "free energy/orgone/powah of da pyramids" kind of things that people without a decent physics education get suckered into. Run your car on water!

OK, so -- the point of the article is not (1) whether astrology is a science, (2) that there are 7 continents, (3) whether the sun is bigger than the Earth, or (4) whether any of those are good filters on dates.

It's about the general principle that (a) OKC should make Mandatory questions only count as negatives, and (b) unless they do that, users shouldn't make "factual" questions including (1, 2, 3) mandatory.

Maybe they shouldn't have been mandatory in the first place because you can love someone who believes wrong facts, that's a valid point as well but doesn't relate to the algorithm design issues.

I think the point isn't specifically about the overhead angle, it's that the existing camera angles don't show some of the players (who may be moving in ways that are relevant to the overall strategy, but their movements aren't sufficiently telegenic to bother showing them on TV).
