Appendix Cancer Treatment And Research
After healing process for appendix cancer is over, talk with your doctor about developing a follow-up care pact. This agreement may consist of usual bodily examinations and/or restorative tests to watch your restoration for the coming months and years. People treated for appendix enlargement will usually require following up with an oncologist, a physician, or an internal medication expert to scrutinize any symptoms of abdominal recurrence, such as pain, illness, blood in the stool, severe bloating, and cramping. CT or MRI scans may be recommended as part of follow-up care.

IMO, when the director of the NSA goes on-stage at DEFCON and the result is anything other than tomatoes being thrown and him being booed off the stage, something is wrong.

While it is true that hackers are not a single minded collective, and some hackers may have sympathy for the NSA, I'd hope that most hackers would see the NSA as what it is: just one more head of the Medusa that is the US government, in all it's civil liberty infringing, experimenting on it's own citizens program, illegal wiretapping, constitution ignoring glory. The NSA are not - so far as I'm concerned - the "good guys." Some individuals in the NSA may be "good guys" but the agency is just a tool of a government that is out of control.

"We don't keep files on every American citizen" Yeah, right... this guy would have had more credibility if he'd just said

"Yeah, of course we do. You know it, we know it, so why beat around the bush."

Between twitter and google+, I'd say google+ is the one with mass appeal. It's simply better for what people call "social" - sharing updates, sharing photos/albums, chat/conversations etc all within their own private social group.
By unit weight, hydrogen is the highest density chemical fuel source, though its low mass/volume density means that per unit of storage volume it rates poorly.

LNG is next by weight (though well down the curve). Coal fares rather worse than I would have thought, though it may win on energy/volume.

Energy densities of various storage media / methods:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(specific_...

And more energy densities:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energies_per_unit_mass#Common_...

A kilogram of uranium has roughly 20 million times the energy of a kilogram of gasoline. Which has roughly 25 times the energy storage of a kilogram of LiON batteries (and just ekes out kerosene/diesel as well). TNT and gunpowder have surprisingly low energy densities -- it's not their storage capacity, but release rates which give them value (it's also why planes loaded with jet fuel are more effective attack vectors against skyscrapers than missiles loaded with explosives, at least on a total net energy delivery basis).

The NSA does some questionable stuff, but it also does some awesome stuff. The first thing that comes to mind is SELinux.

On a tangent, don't forget that we need an organization like the NSA (or at least like what the NSA should be). The more ubiquitous computing becomes, the more important that role will become. So, don't advocate chopping off a head of the Medusa; advocate fixing what you see as wrong.

As someone who has a significant stake in Apple (as a part of my personal investments), this concerns me.

Steve used to say that it's what you don't do that matters most.

He has also said that Apple's mission is to simply make great products. That's its identity. Make great products.

I don't see how investing/partnering with Twitter fits that.

As a customer and shareholder I want Apple to stay true to its identity and mission. An identity that cost a significant amount of pain and time to discover.

Maybe Tim wants to change Apple's core identity. I'm not sure.

I fear he may make strategic decisions mainly because he wants to distinguish himself from Steve.

Steve even told him not to play the "what would Steve do?" game.

But I think Steve always asked, in the end, what's best for Apple and its customer.

And I hope Tim does the same.

I hope he focuses on product. Make great products.

I recently signed up for iTunes Match and I've just had problems with it. It hasn't "just worked".

I hope that's not a sign of what's to come.

- - -

I want to add that I think it's still very early in the game when it comes to social.

I think it's entirely possible that Twitter is the RIMM of social.

It might not be, but I think it's possible.

Apple, please stay away from social networks; especially right now.
"We don't keep files on every American citizen": depends how you define 'files' and perhaps there is 1 American citizen they don't keep files on, so not 'every'. But we have on sworn testimony that the NSA keeps all of your emails [1] & a large chunk of your electronic communications & spies on American citizens[2][3].

This is fascinating, and should be a source of reflection for anyone writing code for a living or being involved with programming on any serious level.

Additionally, I can't help but think that this essay (and others in this style) and subsequent reflections would make for a perfect seminar targeted towards final year CS students, as it merges perfectly academic reflection and real world engineering considerations, which is what many CS programs across the world sorely need.

This absolutely had my inner geek exploding in giddiness. It was one thing for the London Olympics to recognize him as a key part of the modern era, but to also place the (same model?) NeXT Cube next to him just topped it off. This made it memorable for me.

> Maybe Tim wants to change Apple's core identity.

The Wall Street Journal has its own article on this[1], and it reports that "Apple Inc. held discussions with Twitter Inc. more than a year ago about taking a strategic investment in the short-messaging service." Steve was still alive more than a year ago.

Care to give examples of the wrong stuff being taught?

Anyway, I agree with you on KA. My big thing is, and I think Khan is an awesome, amazing, but when we get down to brass tacks does KA help students really "get it done?" I don't know.

I feel like there's always all this talk about Khan Academy and how great it is and all of this. But if you get down to it and watch the videos for hours, not just talk about watching them, how much is it helping? Maybe it is but I've showed it to a lot of people and have tried, and this is just my anecdote, to get people to learn via KA and their results haven't been amazing or anything.

But there's no reason it can't improve and get better. I just get this feeling that we have all collective gone "OMGZ MATH VIDEOS!!!!!!!" and haven't done a critical examination.

From what I know, App.Net is some sort of a real-time social network that is not ad-supported. Instead, it is a paid service that you subscribe to.

Pros:
Developers work to please the user (you), not the advertisers.
No ads.

Cons:
Not free.
Harder to get traction (because it's not free)

Why?
Because their view is that current projects don't focus to please users.

I'm with you on this one, I lived through 2000 and I can tell you that this is no 2000.

The folks managing the IPO all have egg on their faces, but nobody's trust fund got destroyed, no mass layoffs, no VC suicides, none of the "Hey the music stopped oh shit I'm still long on X, Y, or Z"

Facebook brought in over a BILLION dollars last quarter. They "lost" money because they are doing the 'count stock options as an expense' thing that was foisted on Tech companies post bubble. But they actually 'earned' a quarter billion dollars. Compare that to any number of companies that never earned a dime from founding, through IPO, through ignominious death. Sheesh.

One of the thing that is going to bite both Google and Facebook are some of the insane salaries they signed up for to keep people at one place or the other or to switch. Those are great engineers but most of them are never going to have a lifetime value of millions, even if they commit 20 years of their life to the company. That is a correction I don't look forward too, conversations like "Excuse me? You were thinking maybe $280K to start and an annual bonus plan? Uh Next!"
Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneur
The more I reflect on it, the more I convince myself that this philosophy on marriage is the best. Just eliminate a government definition of marriage altogether. Let marriage be defined by an individual person and their partner(s) based on what they believe. Generalize joint ownership, custody, etc. to any people who want to enter into a contract with each other. Considering how pro- and anti-gay marriage groups absolutely refuse to compromise, this approach makes the most sense to me.
This thing called curiosity.

It's not a bad trait to have, actually.

I was under the impression US networks are anything but free? I mean, guys like Viacom pay our cable companies for potential access to our eyeballs here in Holland. I heard they actually get paid by cable companies in the US. For jersey shore .. with adds. Way too many adds.

Now, i dont know how much money ads bring to the table, but they could double my cable bill, (from 10 to 20 euros), if it would all be ad free.
This is used as justification for polygamous marriages by some religious groups, but more than not being acknowledged legally, this type of marriage is outright criminalized.
There's a lot of angry comments, but this is a step in the right direction for the NSA. Hayden would've never showed. He had a disdain for hacker types and so-called privacy advocates.

I think they're competing with at least one company who is pretty far ahead in the market like gopago. Their presence seems pretty big in SF at least...I've used it in SF a few times and it's pretty convenient.
Who's going to disrupt them? Someone who can monetize the masses better? People are going to flock to a social network with more ads? With more fees?

I've consistently thought that people underestimate the lock-in Facebook has. They have one of the strongest, if not the strongest, network effect in the history of mankind. They can be disrupted, but only when there's some sort of major leap in technology that wholly redefines what a social network is. Adding incremental this or add-on that won't get anyone anywhere.
He may wouldn't be having problem if the data flow was owned by the User. Perhaps if he manage to make an website that automate the process of: The User get the video, extract the track and then the User, uploads to his site. While he's website touch the Youtube, he may have problem.

Google+ is not a fundamentally different experience from Facebook. It's slightly different, and that isn't enough.
The problem was that the HTML-plus-JavaScript paradigm was never meant for building applications. Sure, you don't need a framework if you're just sprucing up some web pages, but if you want to build a desktop-like app in the browser [1], it's nice to get a leg up from something that understands that sometimes we need the humble web page to be something more.

Don't get me wrong--there's plenty of ways for frameworks to get this wrong, but the overall idea is not inherently useless.

[1]: And why would you want to do that? Because desktop apps never evolved some killer features of the web app: lightweight, cross-platform, zero-install, a passable remoting API, and sandboxing.
网上购物
The A-Number-One thing Facebook needs to do in order to improve their ad business is to increase the use of the "like" buttons, both on and off their site. While not Intent-To-Purchase, it is very much Interest, and from what I've seen in an anecdotal sense it's what makes their ads target well or not.

If I were in charge of their ad department, I'd be focused extremely tightly on increasing that behavior in users.

If I were in charge of their revenue in general, however, I'd be focused on Facebook Credits and how to become the top trusted marketplace for person-to-person transactions worldwide.

I sort of want to just say Poppycock to this. How many billionaire dropouts do you know? I don't know any myself. OK, fine if you happen to be connected in SV and know MZ or whatever then you're an outlier.

These billionaire dropouts like Zuckerberg and Gates, ... where did they drop out from? Although I don't think it makes a lot of sense to equivocate those two, it will suffice for now.

I don't think times have changed that much. Learning purely from these things is also going to be likely only for autodidacts. There happen to be many of autodidacts in our little world (or at least autodidactic enough to put together a website in Rails or something) but this is not true of that many people.

In fact, how far do you get with this online stuff? Not far, if you look at most places like Khan and so forth, you're talking about sophomore, maybe junior year stuff for the most part. OK, sure there's the occassional machine learning course that gets popular online that a lot of people that don't have any sort of mathematical background take and can say they are a part of the "cool kids" group, but let's be honest. Even then, we're still talking about this small segment of autodidactic or semi-autodidactic types.

A lot gets said of "big bad college" and how the "fresh new hip information revolution trumps traditional learning" but I don't see it. Sure, you could put up a few tutorials about learning to make Hello World in Javascript but I'm just not seeing this education revolution here.
Against all conventional wisdom I actually think McIlroy was wrong.

In my experience writing reusable code, unless you're writing a library, is usually a waste of time. Must code, even when written with intent to be reusable -- isn't. Maintainability and readability almost always trump reusability. Refactoring fast the point where reuse is needed typically is the better approach.

McIlroys approach is the less common approach of library/framework writers while Knuth is the approach of app devs.
I think I wasn't clear enough there. Google+ is not more widely used than twitter NOW. There are a lot of people on Facebook who were formerly on Orkut, Myspace etc who've never had a twitter account and just don't GET twitter. If I had to pick the next facebook sized network, it would be Google+ and not twitter for that reason.

PS: I don't even believe the current growth/engagement numbers coming out of twitter entirely. There's a lot more spammy accounts there than used to be that put out hundreds of tweets a day and I wonder if that's heavily padding twitter's user growth currently. Most of my current followers are "fake". Same with my friends who aren't particularly famous. The statistics don't reflect this properly.
I can't believe the director of the NSA (also an Army General) showed up in bluejeans and a t-shirt. I'm sure it was a PR move, but I still can't believe it.
Incredible FingerPrint Art
It also shows the flaws and imperfection of society. May be that’s the reason, the art is difficult to accept by the so called realistic people. Fingerprinting Art has been the most contemporary field of painting.
Even if they weren't scripted, they were mostly softballs, and the talk was more an introduction than a detailed roadmap.

The most interesting question was about whether the NSA would prefer a perfectly secure internet or a usefully insecure one (roughly paraphrased).

That's not far from what I wanted to ask: given the offensive value of 0-day exploits (as seen with Stuxnet, regardless of who actually did it), can agencies in "Cyber Command" really be trusted to give theirs up via responsible disclosure?
My best answer is do it the way you know how.
Learning anything new is painful and takes longer sometimes... but might help in the long run.

In 1995, I had an awakening from atheism. I went to Bible to read. Nothing in mind. Cracked-open. Started talking! Didn't like knowing end or middle, so flipped-coins for binary numbers. Picked from other books. Made coin-flip-based pgm to keep track of my books. Figured stoping a stopwatch was like flipping coin. Did that. Wanted to pick from entire Internet... keywords! Keywords immediately started talking. First thing said "no weights".

Weights or other artificial intelligence is bad because you can't tell how miraculous.

He's not making the argument that money is worthless. He's making the argument that funding doesn't imply technical excellence. Perhaps as a corollary: technical excellence doesn't even imply funding or any other form of financial success (but it sure helps).
I didn't get it either. It seems sorta like RSS.

Here's the API spec:

https://github.com/appdotnet/api-spec

If you're using it to talk directly to users, it'll be tough to beat free social networks, because that's where the traction is.

If you're using it as the back-end of an app, it'll be tough to beat something like Celery (https://github.com/celery/celery), or a hand-rolled MySQL solution. Seriously, if you look at the API tree, anyone who knows anything about databases can probably hack something with similar functionality together in a day (minus UI).

The one point that app.net might have in its favor is scalability -- if it "just works" when you have a gazillion users.

app.net would be a lot more comprehensible if the author listed a few sample application ideas and told what pain points app.net was supposed to solve.

Are you aware of the SC2 interface/render hooking system[1]
by Matthew Fisher? I've not actually had time to play with it, but I believe it uses a software-emulated display buffer, and then parses the raw directx drawing primitive stream to determine what is happening.

I'm not sure if it supports replays, or how much effort that would be to add, but if it can, you could extract huge amounts of metadata like build timings/orderings and whatnot.

[Edit: and of course, if you can render to a virtual screen, maybe there could be some way to run headless or multi-instance on a single box]

If you can get the suitable video player controls, it'd be fun to integrate it with an interactive timeline something like SMILE[2] to show significant events throughout the game (first discovery, first unit death, 'interesting' (say, involving more than X units or Y diversity of units)
