The fact that someone likes you is a badge of value. Social proof.

This is also why guys that go to bars with friends have a significantly lower chance of being labeled "creepy" than a guy that goes by himself.
You can look at it is a collaborative document editor, but the fact that the developers intend for it to be used for day to day communication is important. It means that they will make sure it does all the little things a communication tool needs to do.

Most importantly, the waves (documents) are structured as threaded discussions. Users have global, unique, human readable addresses. Access to waves and parts of waves can be controlled per-person. There is an an inbox that lists waves by time. It keeps track of which ones have unseen content and notifies you when a change is made, and so on.

I don't think any mere mortal can get a good sense of what Wave is without seeing it in action. I didn't really wrap my head around it until I had spent a couple of hours using it.

Twitter's privacy settings involve a single checkbox at the bottom of the settings form, and scary ALL CAPS is used to tell you you won't be on the public timeline. Twitter indirectly discourages any information hiding.

Facebook puts privacy in your face from the start and you have such fine-grained control – most Facebook users have some degree of information hiding enabled.

I believe that culture of everything-is-public is what has fueled Twitter's growth, and is exactly why Facebook cannot compete directly with Twitter. Facebook is technically better in every way, but there is a cultural difference in the two communities that allows them to serve separate purposes even when Twitter's functionality is by all measures a subset of Facebook at this point.
As giant corporations go, I like Google. Their business model mostly involves giving us more. Still, I am happy to see this "Wikipedia-killer" dead.

Wikipedia is both great and terrible. It both "very unreliable" and about as reliable as one gets in any first blush look at given subject. Certainly, to many experts it is an embarrassment and, worse, a threat. But that's often as not because even expert opinion is divided in many fields and Wikipedia doesn't prevent well supported dissident opinion from being entirely suppressed. Certainly, no should quote Wikipedia in print without further research but it's a great place to start that research.

I found a small problem on your site (for me at least). For reference, I am running Firefox 3.5 on Gentoo.

On a page like this, http://favstar.fm/users/asshuku, the Japanese kanji is being rendered like Chinese kanji. It's still readable, but it's just a little off-putting. I'm not native Japanese (I can read it, though), but the best example I can give of what this feels like for a Japanese person is that all of the text on the page has been highlighted and underlined. Readable, but annoying.

I was playing around with it in Firebug, and it looks like a simple(?) fix would be to change the line:
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
xml:lang="en">
to:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml xml:lang="en">

service for not-yet-known book writers. right now the process of publishing your book is very complicated. It is almost impossible to publish your book and get rewards for it. Publishers are like vc, usually say no, since it is risky task to choose what to publish.

So writer will start writing a book. it will publish first 100-150 pages of the book on site. if people will like this book, they will pay fee to author, so he finishes the book. once author collected required money he finishes book. Publishers will get right idea about popularity of the book and author.

It's a pretty well know effect predicted by evolutionary psychology (and confirmed in several species). Basically, no matter what strategy female use to identify good mates it can be improved by peeking at what other female do.

"Poaching" is also very cheap and relatively safe (as far as identifying goes), so it would be more popular with females/males who don't have other good criteria.

> I'd contend that with youth I have a better perspective on the folly of your adulthood just as you can perceive the folly of my youth. (I'm 17.) What makes your later view more correct than my earlier view, on this one?

Simple, I have experienced life from both perspectives while you have not. You have no basis for evaluating the folly of my adulthood because you have never experienced your own adulthood, while all of us who have made it this far fondly remember the joys and certainties of our youth. I do so miss that period of youthful rebellion, when we managed to figure out a couple of things about life and felt we were ready to pass judgement on everything around us; this conversation is already maxing out my deja vu quota for the week. Enjoy your youth and keep true to what you believe, it is the only way you will ever effect any change in the world, even though the particular cause that started this thread is a fools errand.

Being forced to share everything may result in a different culture, but it's really just a less nuanced method of communication than what facebook allows. Facebook lets you to communicate more precisely what you want to say and exactly who you want to say it to. Quite simply, it's a more useful tool for people, which is what technology is at its core.

Twitter will always be novel for introducing the short, sweet, live update to the world, but without expanding its featureset (which Facebook is, almost monthly), it will soon look like a toy.
Basic income is given to people who earn less then that. You'll buy food and shelter with it (no laptops !?), but it is tough to survive with it.

It might be more efficient if it was backed up with some kind of coaching to help people learn how to manage their income and life because this is like giving fish instead of learning to fish (though that's the purpose of school). But sometime you really need fish and have no time to learn, or some people are just too dumb to learn anything.

It has a huge cost, but it has to be balanced by the benefit of criminality and insecurity reduction. Without it these people would have to steal, swindle or deal drugs and this is very likely to have a much higher cost.

I own about $20,000 of notional fractional interest in an absolutely ginormous pool of paper slips with numbers on them. Except, there isn't actually any paper anymore, since they made it all electronic. But if there were slips of paper, they would number in the billions, each saying that I own fractional interest in the real property and future earnings of a particular person. No person named on any of the non-existent pieces of paper actually exists -- that is the point of having the paper in the first place. Or not having it, as the case may be.

I have also paid for software, music, videos, text messaging, online connectivity, phone time, concerts, priority boarding, and World of Warcraft.

Hey Dusty, I had a look at your site a few days ago and followed you on twitter. I was interested until I had a look at a few of the people advertising themselves. The ones I saw looked pretty boring. ;-) I would be interested in talking to you more about it though. tmhaines at googles mail system.
Except for drip with sarcasm, this response does nothing but be less than helpful. Being against corporations because it's cool to be against corporations isn't productive. Most of us would jump through flaming hoops to be a corporation influential enough that people would care about what we did.

The question is whether this is lawyer-like non-commitment or an actual step towards improving relations. It's too soon to tell, but there's no way wrote derision is in order. We should encourage this.
This is apparently a direct response from the person who wrote the article. Agree with him or not, the post is relevant.

I don't think downmodding is appropriate.
Once designed and created a system to manage very complex ethnobotanical information, so we could define rules like "X company reserves all samples taken from Q parts of plants that might be related to people speaking Y language from Z area using words that hint at it helping their stomach."

Another system - "it must tell us everything about e.g. nanotechnology and Japan". Recognised countries, technologies, projects, did implicit search on internal document databases, internal project databases, CIA world factbook, stored URL's, Google's API etc. Showed links, e.g. team X went to Japan in 2004, team Y dealt with nanotech in 2001, there are two reports here that deal with X, Bob stored these related URL's, etc.

May not impress some, but I really enjoyed those projects and they were helluva challenging!

> Arguing that of course 15-year olds are stupid and need to be in school is begging the question

Where did I argue that! Your putting words in my mouth. All I am saying is that, speaking from where I am now, at 15 I wasnt equipped to face the world. School was a good place for me.

This stuff has sod all to do with the schools; it's simple logic about maturity. Have you bothered to read the studies posted elsewhere about brain development??

The education system is broken: but that doesnt means it's a bad idea. If we dont impart our knowledge then you end up with a problem. It could, ofc, be taught better than it is now.
RIKEN's New Supercomputer Up and Running
I have been thru the same a few months ago. Let me tell you what worked for me.

Start by picking a language. Which one you choose will depend on why you want to be a programmer. My goal is to develop a web app for a startup so I looked at popular languages with popular frameworks. I chose Django/Python over Ruby on Rails.

Playing with a framework gave me some quick returns for minimal effort. So the rewards kept me going.

Quickly though you realize that you need language expertise. That's when I hit the books, sought assignments and problems (e.g. Project Euler).

One last tip, set some mini-projects with limited scope as goals - one after the other. Make sure their complexity increases. This will serve as a ramp up, but also the sense of completing a project becomes a sort of self-reward. The projects may also server as a portfolio.

Ouch.

I mean, I realize that Pratt & Whitney is not exactly a high-growth company, but if after 20 years with one company you haven't managed to move up, either in position or salary, maybe it's not surprising if it takes you four years to find a new job.

That's a mistake unlikely to be made; partly because the vast majority of seized computers run Windows :P but mostly because it is fairly obvious.
In order to beat machines at being employed, the special cybernetic ability you would need is "working for free".
Yes. The form islong and very thorough. No random police person could fill it in - you have to be fairly expert to provide the relevant detail.
These are all pertinent observations. The rational of basic income, as applied in France, is to provide some money (not much) to people who have no revenue. It was called the RMI, "Minimum Insertion Revenue". So it was given to indigent people but only without any revenue.

But there was a backside to this system because it produced a threshold below which it wasn't worth to work. This threshold was above the RMI because working needs to cover the cost of the trip to the job, clothing and such.

This is why the system has changed this year into the RSA "Active Solidarity Revenue". People without revenue still get the equivalent of the RMI. But now, when they get a job, they don't lose the RMI. The revenue is now balanced with the income, also providing an incentive to get a job even if it is only a few hours a week.

The huge cost of such basic income model is balanced by the benefit of reduced criminality, because these people don't need to steal, swindle or whatever to survive anymore. This makes France a pleasant place to live even if the taxes are high.

One Step Closer to Quantum Computing
Doing this now, and also living in Budapest.

One of the biggest benefits of bootstrapping abroad is that you don't have the social obligations that you do back home. No friends calling to grab dinner, go to a movie, go for drinks, etc (this is also a drawback, of course). You truly are able to control your own time. I spend 10-12h a day working, and when I get off my computer, I'm somewhere cool (like Budapest, or Buenos Aires!)

Having social contact is important when you're not working, but meeting people on sites like couchsurfing is pretty easy.
The private capability creates a lot of complexity for Facebook. While it's true that more granular communication controls creates a more useful tool, it does not mean the people can use the tool. For instance, right now I have Friend Requests from relatives a generation older than me. As someone who started using Facebook in college, I don't know whether to accept and start creating limited profiles or to just ignore them. I'm not interested in creating work for myself. Plus, what's the point of connecting if you're just going to hide everything? This privacy granularity is a problem Facebook really needs to figure out.

Being completely open from the get-go is part of the beauty of Twitter. They should definitely add some more features, but the shear simplicity is quite nice.
Great news, myopenid is part of stackoverflow. Register with myopenid and use that to get into stackoverflow.
