You're right about the latency. I think latency matters a great deal for any game that aims for immersion. And here we're dealing with a clearly visible delay between the large and small screen.
I honestly love projects like this one, but is the implementation language really worth fragmenting this niche? Uzbl is in Python and I can't think of any objective reason why Haskell would be better for a browser.
Just did a bit of Googling on Ankit Fadia and Rahul Tyagi.

Damn, are these guys really delusional or are they just good at selling themselves? Not that the Indian media helps - they are incredible at chest-thumping at the most mediocre things.

From Ankit Fadia's About Me page (http://www.ankitfadia.in/aboutankitfadia.html):

In November 2001, Fadia was consulted by a classified intelligence agency for breaking an encrypted message sent by one of Osama Bin Laden's men. Since then Fadia has been involved in numerous classified projects pertaining to cyber terrorism and crime. In August 2008, Fadia was consulted by the Navi Mumbai Police Department to trace the terror email sent just a few minutes before the Gujarat serial blasts. Fadia was also consulted by the Mumbai Police for decoding VOIP messages in relation to the Mumbai terror attacks.

If this is the state of affairs at the Indian intelligence agencies, perhaps they shouldn't even bother.
The rest of the comments go too far. Adam Curtis does nothing that "real news" doesn't do. I'm not saying that everything that he says is true (he doesn't provide references, so it would be difficult to verify anyway), but I think the other comments are a little unfair.

With regards to the parody, I think it places too much weight on the belief that people can't watch a succession of images and follow a (albeit winding) narrative at the same time.

That's incorrect. You're confusing the Limited Run / Limited Pressing story with the Wahanegi story, both of which hit HN very recently. I find the Wahanegi story more interesting since the OP has a much more concrete analysis about what was happening and why Facebook ads aren't as useful to advertisers.

There is a big difference; using this system you could directly facilitate the distribution of data that you do not want to be associated with.

Buying a camera doesn't directly help the creation or distribution of info you consider to be immoral or unethical. Obviously you may want to use a camera maker or ISP that actively discourages such behaviour.

I'm sure you would feel extremely guilty if someone used storage facilities that you controlled to spread CP. On the other hand, I've never felt guilty about buying a camera as I've never let anyone use my camera for such purposes.

But this system doesn't allow you to distinguish between files. You either use the whole thing, or don't use it at all.

In the camera example, you have the option of not letting people use your camera your nefarious purposes, which isn't the case here. It's more akin to supporting the camera manufacturer, who, in turn, makes things that might be used by people for crime.

I'm a developer on QuickBooks for Windows.

Code bases where fundamental aspects (models, database interaction, custom UI libraries, etc.) were developed and solidified far before unit testing was the norm or expected are a tough nut to crack, but we are making improvements every day. Within the last three months I've solved compilation and linker hurdles and we're now integrated with googletest and googlemock, which are fantastic libraries!

Also, while our list of C++ unit tests is small but growing now, the use of NUnit, etc. was championed from Day One on C# projects stretching back to our usage of .Net 1.1.

It's interesting how much working with Ruby the last 7 years has affected my C++ development. I'm dual-wielding Avid Grimm's Objects-on-Rails and Michael Feather's Working Effectively with Legacy Code with great results.

Just that.

Some libraries do build upon that though, e.g. in jQuery, $el.data('key') will fall back on the @data-key attribute if it does not find the key in its internal store.
For "big" software I agree in principle, but for both of these browsers, the vast majority of computation happens in the embedded WebKit rendering engine, which is written in C++. The browser built around it is more UI bindings and an API to interact with other Unix software, and for that, afaict, Python isn't really slowing uzbl down.

I am an Indian and i don't think they are any kind of whizkid. They are just good at selling themselves to media and today's generation who happen to think they are computer geniuses. Youth here thinks they are huge deal (i have myself heard about Ankit Fadia a number of times in the wild, always in the context "computer problem? contact Ankit Fadia"). I respect their interest in computers but i blame these men completely for their delusional behavior. Either that or they are hired by some more, uhm, typical hackers to cover for their public image. But i don't think my country's intelligence is this sophisticated because as Ankit Fadia's about me page states, our defense people think decrypting emails is the job of a hacker. God forbid they find out stuxnet or Flame and who their makers are. India has technical talent, but other people here tend to overshadow the small intelligent discussions one can expect.

As far as UI goes, spend a lot of time on design sites such as dribbble and try to identify patterns and discover the purpose of them on your own. UI design becomes more engrained when you discover trends (and their purposes) rather than simply reading about them imo.

Avoid Junk Information Like You Avoid Junk Food
How exactly are they going to know they're being flagged as bots? When all you're doing is discounting those bot clicks to the advertiser it becomes far more difficult to test your limits as a bot (you would need to be a paying advertiser, just to analyze the human to bot threshold). It's similar to hell-banning, in that the user's generally unaware they've been hell-banned.

Take a minute to think about the effort a bot account has to go to in order to even come close to gaming a system that tracks their behaviour.

Let's assume that in order to be deemed human you need at least a few characteristics like "account older than 1 day", "friends from other non-suspicious accounts", "a photo or at least comments on a friends photos", and a "certain amount of click activity".

Now let's take that criteria and make it difficult for a bot to even know if they're being flagged as a bot where the only indication is a reduced bill at the end of the day / week / month to the advertiser. So bot makers would have to pay to test and would at best receive delayed feedback on their success.

Isn't this starting to seem extremely difficult, and generally unscalable from a bot perspective? It doesn't have to be impossible, there just needs to be lower hanging fruit, of which there are plenty should FB implement a system like this.

And should this fairly simple solution still have a few holes that a very elite few bot coders are able to game, you've still got tons of data and time to use to tune your algos.

It just doesn't make sense that one of their advertiser's is being charged for 80% bot clicks, until you start to question Facebooks motivations.
I meant "modern culture" and sure, all the elements of modern culture do not necessarily coincide.

Göbekli Tepe is still a mystery. It might be easier to push back the date for the neolithic revolution than explain how/why hunter-gatherers built such big structures and how they were sustained in the necessary numbers to do so.

Either the dating is wrong, the neolithic started earlier or our understanding of paleolithic cultures is flawed enough to make us rethink the paleolithic-neolithic classification altogether (maybe agriculture ins't such a key component).

Semantics aside, the discovery mentioned in the article basically finds evidence of human behaviors known to have existed during that period elsewhere in the world.

I am confused: this seems like a separate issue. If you post an ad for a Page, you get charged if the user Like's it, even if they don't really pay much attention. However, the whole point of a Page is to be able to target users with content later: those Like's from people trying to train their newsfeed are actually the very people you were trying to find. Meanwhile, for ads that have a normal landing page, you should be charged only if the user actually clicks the link in the ad and is taken to the destination: that is not a "Like" action.

This is the way things work in India, unfortunately. People are a bit gullible, and don't bother to do a bit of research. For example, when I was in High School, I noticed that nearly all my classmates used Indian ripoffs of classic science books published in the West, instead of using the original. After a bit of digging, I figured the reason was that these ripoffs explained 'concepts' in an 'organised' manner which could then be memorized
