With all the focus being on the most capable models, why care about Haiku? \n\nWhen you are building agentic workloads you inevitably have various tasks that you need to deliver **very cheaply** and Haiku is the workhorse behind much of that. I probably run 100 times more Haiku calls compared to Sonnet and Opus. So the volume is there and you need this to work really well. \n\nAdditionally because Haiku was so old it didn't have the effort and other modern capabilities of the newest models. That is now fixed so developers can rely on the same mechanics and work across various Claude models with ease. 👏\n\nAlso see [Simon Willison's post on Haiku 5.5](https://simonwillison.net/2026/Oct/7/claude-haiku-5-5/).","saved":"2026-10-08T18:00:18Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"0158ba8020e808a13ac2674692a46774","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/2cf28a1a9302/","kind":"page"},

Its job would be narrower than replacing Nvidia across the industry. Instead, it gives buyers another credible option for private workloads that demand local control without wasting power.\n\nIt is unique that Apple can put enough compute power in a box that can sit on a desk, be powered with a regular outlet, not require special cooling, and be quiet enough to not need to be in a room of its own. For a number of professions and use cases with AI I also suggest we are going to want to go **opposite** of the last 20 years of cloud migration and run that workload locally. The most precise cost management we can have is running something on our own hardware. And if you are dealing with sensitive data running it locally is a great way to protect it. \n\nApple could be a big player in this space because of their unique advantage in compute power per watt.","saved":"2026-10-07T09:09:53Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"f255752e39171e2b293f938944ad90c8","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8be1ced26ca4/","kind":"page"},

I’m talking about the feature of pay-by-usage services and APIs that lets you say “after $X/month, cut this thing off and return errors”. These need to be **hard** limits. Soft caps, “after $X/month, send me a warning email”, will not cut it.\n\nBy the way you can do this with the agentic loop having awareness. One of the agent projects I've been working on gets a hard monthly spend limit. From that limit it derives a budget and determines each day how it is pacing to that budget. So, not only can you make these systems cost-controlled but you can hand over part of the challenge of managing that to the system itself. \n\nWe definitely need this on the low end of the market for small and personal projects, however it is just as badly needed at the enterprise side. I can't tell you how many vendors I've seen that move to credit models and they rather conveniently have no way to allow you to hard-cap the spend. This forces you as the customer to have to keep track or end up on the wrong side of a negotiation after you've burned through credits.","saved":"2026-10-05T01:47:29Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"6d9a4015f4523aa2cdc11a2775daf928","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/81b68c5ee25b/","kind":"page"},

Here is a broader example of generally using crypto to pay for service usage without having to divulge your identity with it.\n\n> [zkAPI](https://ethresear.ch/t/zk-api-usage-credits-llms-and-beyond/24104) separates payment from identity. You deposit credits (ETH, USDC, etc.) into a vault contract on Ethereum, one ordinary transaction. From then on, your balance exists as a private note: digital cash that only you can spend and that nobody can trace back to the deposit.\n> \n> To authorize spending, software on your machine produces a small zero-knowledge proof that says, in effect, that a funded note covers this spend and nobody has spent it before. One proof can cover a single request or a whole session. The server can check that the statement is true without learning which note, which deposit, or which person. At the payment layer, requests do not link to you, and they do not link to each other.\n\nI'm glad that folks are thinking about this. The speed of the web shouldn't be limited by the pace of bank settlements and we shouldn't have to forego our privacy in exchange for simply using an API.","saved":"2026-10-02T23:47:38Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"52288e6c6610c0e3f7b4b64553ceb294","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b83092ddcf69/","kind":"page"},

You are in a group and interaction is none to minimal, typically.\n\nA while back my book club read [The WEIRDest People in the World](https://rwbookclub.com/books/the-weirdest-people-in-the-world/) and there is a section there where they look at the multiple dimensions of society: family, work, clubs, religion, etc. Societies grow with more dimensions.

I created a new generation of [Otto](https://ottoai.thingelstad.com) on dots. In short, dots feels like a productized version of [OpenClaw](https://openclaw.ai). I think a lot of people are going to like this feature. When I hear people say what they wished AI could do for them, or what an Agent would be, it is really close to what dots is doing today.\n\nI configured my dot as Otto and decided the first thing I wanted to try was to see if it could drive my Elixir project I've been working on. I already have a team of agents that have been helping build it, but it still requires me to make a lot of decisions. So I asked Otto (as a dot) about how it could interact with Codex and it could do everything I wanted. It has its own computer in the cloud and it can also control the Mac mini that I have for my agents to run on. After confirming it had the capabilities I told it I was going to interview it for the job. I asked several questions:\n\n- \"What do you think the vision for this product is?\"\n- \"What do you think is working well in this product? What isn't working?\"\n- \"How would you decide if a feature is a good fit?\"\n- \"How would you work with me?\"\n\nIt passed with flying colors and then I gave it a chance to interview me. After that I let it get to work and it is doing great.\n\nThe interface for a dot is through the ChatGPT app but it is exactly like a messaging interface with a person, including emoji reactions. You can also call your dot and talk to it. It makes a phone ring and oddly Otto doesn't pick up on the first ring. :-)\n\nI'm impressed. I suspect that in the next few weeks this will sunset my OpenClaw project, which I've had such an on and off relationship with, and I can see this being really popular. With dots out, I now understand better the new ChatGPT Pro 500 accounts. With Otto running here I was able to have it work on multiple projects all night. It is interesting to consider that a barrier to AI companies doing more is just your time and capacity to ask it to do more!","saved":"2026-09-30T11:43:06Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2bca89e15967a7420c3238456322fdde","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f806dd97b317/","kind":"page"},

I have seen some videos and read some write-ups, but I won't be installing it. I don't use any software from Facebook (Meta). I block them at the network layer. An AI agent powered by their surveillance machine? Not in a million years. I'm sure it is well designed and even does impressive stuff.\n\nIt isn't just them by the way. I am doing a lot with agents but I also have them running on a computer of their very own and using a different user and iCloud account. That is Otto. Otto has access to some data but only in ways I provision for it.\n\n> The way I think about running an agentic AI on my Mac is simple. I would never let an unknown person use my Mac. Not even for a minute, not even with me watching them. Let alone letting them use it nonstop, without my watching them. I’d be uncomfortable letting even a trusted friend use my Mac, logged into my user account. So why would I let an AI robot, no matter the source? It doesn’t even get to the point of my considering Meta as Muse’s creator. I wasn’t tempted an iota to try OpenClaw, and I’m not tempted to try Muse on my Mac. On _a_ Mac, maybe.

I'd also nudge you to this [Apple Wasn't Messing Around](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_58D7ixOQI) video for a great walk through as well. Two thoughts come to mind with this.\n\nFirst, Apple has a unique position here with their M-series chips. They are able to deliver more processing power per watt than anybody else. Sure that matters to keep data center cooling and power lower, but the even bigger thing is the ability to put LLM processing power on a desktop that doesn't require special environmental needs. You can see a direct path from an M5 Ultra to an AI Appliance that people could buy and put in their house.\n\nThe second is a direct path to local models and product engineering. A long time ago software developers used to get the fastest and biggest computers around because compilers were taxing, and building software took a long time. These days most developers need nothing but a simple laptop as the power of those machines has gone up and the needs have gone down with the cloud and interpreted software stacks. Now as we enter AI-assisted coding we may be flipping back to a world where a developer can justify a $50,000 workstation to run models and build software cheaper. It is also interesting to consider a completely verticalized stack where the development environment is completely merged into a custom model. Instead of plugging a frontier model on the side, you are natively connected to a specific model.\n\nBoth of these seem like nearly certain developments in the next three years.","saved":"2026-09-24T03:04:01Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"1656a3b5d8f5e53f1b18da1b188882ed","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ce51cb90b8af/","kind":"page"},

This can be a good thing since it’s how we learn new skills and discover new ideas. Sadly, less and less of our attention is focused intentionally.

Today, my AWS account is completely managed with code and better than it ever has been. How? Claude Code helped me revamp it. AWS has realized that its customer is the Agent as much as anyone else, and has started building to it. In many ways we are seeing a new layer of capability being built either on top of platforms or systems-of-record.

Deep knowledge: the expertise that comes from understanding a field or subject so well that you build intuition around it to quickly and accurately make decisions.\n2. Wide knowledge: To gain wide knowledge you need to read and study widely, across fields and formats and traditions.\n3. Taste: Some people have a taste for things that many people will find popular, others have a taste that is unique to them, and still others have a taste for what is novel and new.\n4.

Agents love command line tools and Homebrew is by far the best way to get them on your Mac.\n\nI've used Homebrew for years and have never even had the wish of an app to manage it but I installed it to try it and I liked it. The discovery of popular packages that I'm not using was actually helpful. I also wonder if this may open up Homebrew as a distribution channel for more software. There are a couple of regular apps (not tools) that I install and update with Homebrew and it works great. I moved Visual Studio Code into the Homebrew path using the app!","saved":"2026-09-18T01:30:01Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"c37d4b2811747d2ea6921e831031c89e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3ace28dd12ad/","kind":"repository"},

This is a very artisanal process to improve the capabilities of the junior engineers on your team.\n\nOver the years we have overloaded code reviews with tons of other things like security gates and a bunch of automated processes. Now we are having to take this all apart and figure out how to do it in the future. I do think you want multiple agents looking at code in some form of a code review.

Adult friendships are challenging to prioritize. Or at least that is how it seems to be. \n\n> And perhaps this is why adult friendship feels increasingly radical. It resists the transactional logic modern life rewards everywhere else. Because a real friend offers something profoundly rare: unoptimised presence. Family is structured by blood. Marriage by institution. Work relationships by utility. Friendship survives purely through mutual choosing. Nobody has to stay. And yet some people do.\n\nI read this with the constant reminder in my mind that so many men report having no close friends. None. And the parasocial friendships of social media and podcasts don't fill this hole. I find myself routinely thinking \"wow, you are failing as a friend\" because I haven't replied to an email or sent a message. It at least feels in part that there is so much you have to do, and then you want to do, that by the time you get to the stuff you could do the energy is gone. \n\nThen you start to look at the other end of parenthood. That is where that grief of lost friendships lands. The good news is that it is never too late, and this specifically is something that helps prod me to get better, make time, and reach out.","saved":"2026-05-21T16:34:47Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3f55e8d6909f92c7e6512934e41fd001","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/dcd1a4bf9f30/","kind":"page"},

The foundational design of the infrastructure of the web is being challenged by the mesh-like needs of AI capabilities versus the more hierarchal structure that powered streaming media and web interfaces.\n\n> In short, all four hyperscalers are giving the fat tree’s economic logic the thumbs down when it comes to AI workloads. Each has its own proprietary response. And you can bet your last penny that none of them is going to license their answer to the others. This is the same pattern that played out with custom silicon (TPUs, Trainium, Maia, MTIA), switches, and other gear. The hyperscalers see the workloads first, at scale, and they build the infrastructure to match. And they optimize, and optimize. The rest of the industry catches up later, if at all.\n\nThis section really hit me.\n\n> The right historical analogy for what is happening with AI is not Web 2.0 or the cloud. It is the railroads of the nineteenth century. Railroad operators understood the freight cars were not where value lived. The value was in owning the rails and everything around them, including the land. Owning the rails meant controlling routes, latency, geography, redundancy, and the cost structure of every customer who depended on the network.\n\nI read this with some historical context. I was building and running large scale public websites before the cloud existed. I spent many years building out data centers in colo facilities. I still remember with a bit of a smirk when we had truckloads of Dell computers being unloaded into AT&T data centers and our crew onsite to 'rack & stack' and get everything going. \n\nWhen you compare that world to the data centers of the hyperscalers there is almost nothing in common. The design of these things is now largely proprietary and at a level of complexity that is only understandable by the most elite infrastructure people in the world. Om goes on to suggest that is a bigger moat that the likes of Nvidia. I think he could be right.","saved":"2026-05-17T01:27:43Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"c42ec9f4118eba4f80eb6e9f1a728a80","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9f437aabe3de/","kind":"page"},

You can then have it display one more solution, all the solutions, or stop entirely.\n\nI've never had any exposure to [Prolog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolog) and this was a great way to learn a bit about the unique strengths.

Most technologists know that the reality is sofware is a \"liability\" that must be maintained and your team is the \"asset\" that you balance against that. So now with agents making software, if we increase materially the rate of software we are making, that maintenance must be dealt with.\n\n> The math only works if the LLM decreases your maintenance costs, and by exactly the inverse of the rate it adds code. If you double your output and your cost of maintaining that output, two times two means you’ve quadrupled your maintenance costs. If you double your output and hold your maintenance costs steady, two times one means you’ve still doubled your maintenance costs.\n\nProvocatively I will say that I think agentic coding will result in software that is easier to maintain. Many bugs aren't resolved because they are just too hard to find and fix. If agents can do that faster, the bugs can get resolved. Plus agents are way better at getting deployments robust. And ultimately agents can babysit software for you. I've been building a new Discord agent and for the entire week I've had Claude Code not just coding it but running it. It is seeing all the logs, errors, anything on `stderr` and taking action. This is resulting in more maintainable software.","saved":"2026-05-15T02:21:56Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"79d3f25d9a7638c6096e9ff37d71833b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a27820a51fc1/","kind":"page"},

It was introduced as the marquee security feature for the Apple M5 and A19, specifically designed to stop memory corruption exploits, the vulnerability class behind many of the most sophisticated compromises on iOS and macOS.\n> \n> Apple spent **five years** building it. Probably billions of dollars too. According to their research, MIE [disrupts](https://security.apple.com/blog/memory-integrity-enforcement/) every public exploit chain against modern iOS, including the recently leaked Coruna and Darksword exploit kits.\n\nMythos played a key role here:\n\n> We didn't build the chain alone. Mythos Preview helped identify the bugs and assisted throughout exploit development.\n> \n> Mythos Preview is powerful: once it has learned how to attack a class of problems, it generalizes to nearly any problem in that class. Mythos discovered the bugs quickly because they belong to known bug classes. But MIE is a new best-in-class mitigation, so autonomously bypassing it can be tricky. This is where human expertise comes in.\n> \n> Part of our motivation was to test what's possible when the best models are paired with experts. Landing a kernel memory corruption exploit against the best protections **in a week** is noteworthy, and says something strong about this pairing.\n\nThe bolding is mine. Apple spent five years creating this defensive structure and this small team armed with Mythos found a vulnerability in five days. We can, and probably should, look on the bright side that going forward every company building stuff like this will be using Mythos (or better) on their solutions before they are released. So we should raise the bar materially that solutions are secure.\n\nThere has to be a finite number of security vectors. Maybe we end up in a great place after uncovering these issues.","saved":"2026-05-15T02:14:45Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b82d5337cba4c44fa51e6b798f91e1cc","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8fd5d832fdd1/","kind":"page"},

However, there are disconnects that we need to become culturally attuned to. This article highlights one that we need to gain skill on first.\n\n> In any previous era, the quality of a piece of work was a more or less reliable signal of the competence of the person who produced it. A novice essay read like a novice essay; novice code crashed in novice ways. AI has severed that relationship. A novice now produces work that does not betray the novice, because the competence the work reflects is not the novice's competence at all. It is the system's. The person, in the transaction, becomes a kind of conduit, capable of routing the output to a recipient and incapable of evaluating it on the way through.\n\nAs a recipient of information we need to now perceive that you can have expertise-signal with novice-capability. This was previously not possible. the signal actually looks a bit like a student cheating and giving someone else's work. That isn't the right framing though since it is common to do this while performing a job. People routinely engage with expertise without the domain details. But as a recipient of information we now need to ask two questions: is the information presented of the quality it deserves, and is the person or system providing that capable of the assertion.\n\nThe article goes on to define how we can test that capability. \n\n> Generative AI does well on tasks where feedback is fast, where being approximately right is good enough, where the human remains the final arbiter. Drafting a memo, generating examples, summarizing material the reader could verify if they cared to. The University of Illinois Generative AI guidance [[7](https://nooneshappy.com/article/appearing-productive-in-the-workplace/#ref-7)] and the PLOS Computational Biology \"Ten Simple Rules\" paper on AI in research [[8](https://nooneshappy.com/article/appearing-productive-in-the-workplace/#ref-8)], among the more careful documents now circulating, list much of this explicitly: **brainstorming, copyediting, reformulating one's own ideas, pattern detection in data one already understands**.\n\nRead broadly I think it is critical that we know when we are \"playing tennis without a net\" as it were. If you are using AI for a task that is not testable, you need to treat that different than one that is testable. Testability of the assertion is key to knowing where you can get leverage. This is the magic unlock with software, because code is testable within limits. And the place where automatic programming still needs expert engineers is the untestable bits. \n\nHow do you apply this testability to other domains? And then how do you calibrate expertise into the system? Ideally expertise determines ways to make things testable that appear not to be. That is the magic unlock that I find real leverage. The LLM itself can be used to make the untestable output testable. \n","saved":"2026-05-08T03:22:58Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"47a4d0684f4cf869cf1a7d61e6ec1e85","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/dd6530fd3157/","kind":"page"},

I found myself reading this and thinking that I agree and disagree based on the thing you are making. Not all code is equal. Some code deserves additional effort and oversight, and other stuff does not. I think folks don't consider that enough. For some solution I think the process that is described here is spot on. For others, I would not agree. \n\nI do think the issue that everyone is seeing but nobody knows the answer to is how to junior engineers learn the hard things. I don't claim to know the answer, but I do know that just like so many other things there was a time when engineers needed to know assembly and for sure the \"grey beards\" of the time thought it was insane that a modern developer couldn't add some assembly in the midst of their solution. \n\nThe abstractions keep growing. Prompts are a new abstraction. Claude generated plans are an abstraction. I think the leap for us is to consider them as much part of the code base as the actual code that the computer runs. \n\nThe assertion of Vendor Lock-in though I would disagree with. This line:\n\n> You know how much your employees cost; you have no idea how much your token costs will be day to day, month to month, year to year. If your entire team is using agentic coding as the default, your expense account will need to remain highly nimble.\n\nSay that again but instead think servers. It works. \"You know how much your servers cost; you have no idea how much your cloud costs will be day to day\". That was an early cloud concern that we worked past. However, to get there we had to learn how to measure value. That to me is the giant challenge in front of us.

I'm seeing this right now because people are bringing a typical enterprise mindset to token consumption. Buying AI tools isn't expensive, but tokens are. And if you approach that with a desire to minimize token usage, you are going to destroy your potential. The question should **not** be token consumption, but instead value creation over token consumption. This article suggests an addition that I love — learning acquired!\n\nI'm quoting at length here because I think this is so important.\n\n> I keep coming back to three capabilities companies will need in the messy middle.\n> \n> 1. Agent Operations: which agents and AI tools are running, what systems they can touch, which data they can see, which actions require approval, where identity, audit, permissions, and runtime visibility live. This is the control side, and it matters because agentic work eventually touches real systems.\n> 2. Loop Intelligence: which AI-assisted (or fully agentic) loops actually produce learning, which ones stay open, which ones decay, where agents create leverage, where they sprawl into side quests, which teams are stuck in tight supervision because they lack tests, context, or intuition. Which teams are ready for looser delegation.\n> 3. Agent Capabilities: how useful capabilities get distributed across the organization without pretending that three monolithic agents can do everyone's work. AI is starting to behave more like a fluid base technology than a single application category. It does not fit cleanly into one \"HR agent,\" one \"engineering agent,\" one \"sales agent,\" each sitting somewhere in the enterprise zoo. The better question is how capabilities flow into the places where work happens: employee harnesses, background agents, product teams, platform services, local skills, MCP servers, evaluation suites, runbooks, examples, and domain-specific procedures.\n> \n> This is where the platform question gets interesting. Who owns these capabilities? How does a useful agent skill discovered in one team become available to others without turning into a dead template? How do you enrich a developer's harness differently from a product person's harness, a support team's background agent, or a compliance workflow? Which capabilities belong close to the team, which belong in a platform layer, and which should never be generalized because the local context is the whole point?\n\nHow you operationalize this in a company is not solved at this time. I'm seeing it myself and seeing others wrestle with it. I like the foundational elements that this article puts forward. \n\nAnother model that I've considered is the transition from capital with servers to ephemeral infrastructure in the cloud. In a way capital is a lot like your team. It is hard to move around, hard to acquire, hard to change, but also incredibly powerful for the right things. The cloud made a part of that very flexible and just-in-time. We are already using different LLM models to bring just the right amount of intelligence to a task. And like the cloud we know that required a certain cost in tokens which is easy to know.\n\nThis morning I was doing a weekly review on one of my agents and Claude Code used the logging I have to show me five different skills the agent has and, to the penny, how much each of those cost me over the last week. That visibility applied to other tasks allows us to get much smarter.\n","saved":"2026-05-07T18:28:53Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"5bbcd226d680b8c4a8a2ef44bb60ae60","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9f8b436f5322/","kind":"page"},

They can create a Cloudflare account, start a paid subscription, register a domain, and get back an API token to deploy code right away. Humans can be in the loop to grant permission and must accept Cloudflare's terms of service, but no human steps are otherwise required from start to finish.\n\nThis is specifically done with Stripe.\n\n> This all works via a new protocol that we've co-designed with Stripe as part of the launch of [Stripe Projects](https://projects.dev/).\n\nThere is a not-so-subtle signal here that both Stripe and Cloudflare see agents, particularly coding agents, as their customer. If you fire up Codex or Claude Code and say \"build me a thing\", they want the agents to prefer their platforms because the actual end-user probably doesn't have a strong opinion and the agent is just looking to get the job done. It will likely pick the solution that allows it to do that most completely.\n\nI can’t help but connect this back to crypto too. This solution is fine but it is fully platform lock-in with Stripe enabling it. The better answer, and I nearly guarantee we are going to get here, is giving your agents a crypto wallet and sending digital currency to it to get the job done. No lock in, no worry about the agent having access to your credit card, no risk it overspends, and instant settlement.

Part of the reason that building agentic systems is moving so quickly is removing some extremely expensive and time consuming things that products need. You need a concept, some visual system. You need user testing. You need to consider a whole event model. With agents you don't need any of that. \n\nAnd on top of that, you can just ask the agent how it is working. You can ask another LLM to generate interactive test data. You can move so much faster.","saved":"2026-04-22T00:09:18Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"9e9f4e71bb18eeaaf3adc6249ea2e9d9","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/105f06c6907d/","kind":"page"},

The arrival of automatic programming capabilities is throwing everything up in the air.\n\n> One unambiguously positive development that's followed is that software professionals are writing specs again. LLMs - like many of us - do not perform well with ambiguity, and specifying problems is proving to be an effective tool for generating correct code. Agile told us \"Working software over comprehensive documentation\". Spec-Driven Development is telling us \"Comprehensive documentation creates working software\".\n\nI've been building a bunch of things with agentic coding tools and this is how you do it. By the way, almost everyone also uses agents to help in creating that specification. \n\nThe part that everyone misses in this though is the \"why\" we should make this change. The fundamental issue is less about spec driven development, and more about the fact that making a mistake is 10x less expensive than it was before. You can ask the agent to refactor it and you are on your way pretty quickly.\n\nThat one issue, what is the impact of something being wrong, is the single most important thing that needs to go into figuring out how you do the work.

It seems very clear that agents running Chrome is fine for testing a website, but it is NOT what an agent would prefer. Cloudflare making a cloud-hosted agent-first browser makes a ton of sense. Notice how unique the features are too. It is very obvious we are going to be building a lot of software for agents.","saved":"2026-04-16T23:50:45Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4a0e9264f4b880a5903b9b2fff59ee28","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/11494ef4ced7/","kind":"page"},

I think that we will find that for people working closely with agents that doing that for 2-3 hours at a time is probably a limit. Maybe a little bit more, but co-creating alongside an agent takes a different kind of energy. This blog post commenting on flow and that feeling was interesting to me.\n\n> After a stint of deep work, I usually feel the tiredness of having held a line of thought together for a long time via concentration. After a stint with agents, the tiredness feels more like the aftermath, again, of sustained play or competition. The accumulation of lots of small judgments, many state updates, repeated course corrections, constant low-level vigilance. It's neither better or worse, just different, more like a workout. Last of all, working with agents feels like… fun. Flow is not fun, it’s immensely rewarding yes, but not fun.\n\nFor me, I have found that I do enter a state of flow working with agents to create and build. I lose track of time and I really \"feel\" like I’m co-creating with another entity. Collaborating and ideating. A lot of the rest of the comments here I agree with. There is a game like aspect to it. We are still incredibly early in understanding how people and agents will collaborate.","saved":"2026-04-16T23:50:05Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"182695a37e280b3c80952e5d93027ec1","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7ddcacc6d9dd/","kind":"page"},

The opening paragraph frames the question right.\n\n> AI's coding ability is outpacing our ability to wield it effectively. That's why all the SWE-bench score maxxing isn't syncing with the productivity metrics engineering leadership actually cares about. When Anthropic's team ships a product like Cowork in 10 days and another team can't move past a broken POC using the same models, the difference is that one team has closed the gap between capability and practice and the other hasn't.\n\nIt is a pretty common comment to hear \"we adopted AI coding tools and got slower\". The pattern is pretty simple. As agents create more code, if the \"human in the loop\" insists on doing a detailed review, you are throwing away all the benefit you could have received. Then, since the AI agent can produce orders of magnitude more code than can be reviewed, you jam the system and output plummets. \n\n**This is why I've switched my focus from an efficiency mindset to a throughput one.** \n\nEnabling agentic capability is measured by enabling \"machine speed\" on an entire function.\n\nThe 8 Levels identified are good.\n\n> 1. Tab Complete\n> 2. Agent IDE\n> 3. Context Engineering\n> 4. Compounding Engineering\n> 5. MCP & Skills\n> 6. Harness Engineering\n> 7. Background Agents\n> 8. Autonomous Agent Teams\n\nMy main edit would be that these are not a progression. You can move forward in more than one at a time, but I would agree that you need to carefully consider dependencies and connections.\n","saved":"2026-03-11T21:16:10Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7be3b93ed53074cab34249f46f7a05da","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b971f377dd65/","kind":"page"},

This is a overview of the new [Ferrari Luce](https://www.ferrari.com/en-US/auto/ferrari-luce) which was designed by none other than Jony Ive and LoveFrom. Jony Ive of Apple \"lore\" and designer of the iPhone and the inspiration for so many of the products you use today. \n\nThis article highlights how tactile and specific these interfaces are. Specifically how the creator of the touch interface specifically did not make this car a touch interface.\n\n> Ive knows this. \"The reason we developed touch -- the big idea was to develop a general-purpose interface that could be a calculator, that could be a typewriter, could be a camera, rather than having physical buttons,\" he told me. \"To use touch in a car is something I would never dream of doing, because it requires that you look at what you're doing.\"\n\nAs a Tesla driver for years this stands out as Tesla's design principle has been the exact opposite of this. Tesla has been working for years to remove nearly every button, knob, and stalk they possibly can from cars and move everything to the touch screen where you can innovate and change much faster. Oh, and it is way cheaper to make with fewer buttons and knobs. Every one of those costs money.\n\nThis new Ferrari is an absolute thing of beauty.\n","saved":"2026-02-13T04:23:01Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"f395f81be8919ba7ffb25554c80af342","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/dd6b190d6543/","kind":"page"},

I'm 50 Now, and the Thing I Loved Has Changed","note":"As agentic development techniques improve we are seeing a rapid, actually blisteringly fast, adaptation of a super critical craft — creating software.\n\n> I'm not typing the code anymore. I'm reviewing it, directing it, correcting it. And I'm good at that -- 42 years of accumulated judgment about what works and what doesn't, what's elegant versus what's expedient, how systems compose and where they fracture. That's valuable. I know it's valuable. But it's a different kind of work, and it doesn't feel the same.\n\nThis post describes what many, particularly those that are most focused on the beauty of this craft, feel. It has changed radically in just a year.\n\n> I saw someone on LinkedIn recently -- early twenties, a few years into their career -- lamenting that with AI they \"didn't really know what was going on anymore.\" And I thought: mate, you were _already_ so far up the abstraction chain you didn't even realise you were teetering on top of a wobbly Jenga tower.\n\nI loved this line about \"abstraction chain\". I comment on this routinely. Every person that builds anything in technology is working on many, many layers of abstraction. We haven't worked \"close to the machine\" for decades. This is vastly superior. However it is also worth noting that with every layer of abstraction the craft fundamentally changes, the skills needed evolve, and the part we don't tend to consider enough is the risks and challenges are way different. Frankly, most developers today wouldn't even know how to code a linked list or manage their own memory as a language like C requires. Mostly that is a good thing, but it also causes software to be less performant and the failure cases to be entirely mystical.\n\n> I started programming when I was seven because a machine did exactly what I told it to, felt like something I could explore and ultimately know, and that felt like magic. I'm fifty now, and the magic is different, and I'm learning to sit with that.\n\nThis whole post is about agentic development and everyone (literally everyone) is talking about this. But I will be plain, this type of reinvention will happen to any profession that involves managing, moving, and manipulating information. That isn't to be scary, but to make sure that folks don't look at this transformation and assume that is just something because it is close to technology. Not at all. \n","saved":"2026-02-13T04:20:16Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"719561f8869bac88891df88b09e14be5","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/2a9f9452c00d/","kind":"page"},

I continued to use it but after running several tasks I found myself wanting for the Claude Code interface.\n\nAfter opening Claude Code on that same project I realized the difference in my head. Both Codex and Claude Code are agentic environments but the way they approach it just feel different. Codex has this mental model that feels like I’m a user asking an agentic developer to do a thing for me. I find it a bit frustrating since it puts this barrier between me and the agent. Claude Code feels more like an agentic pair programmer.

The gap between them is astonishing. - Martin Alderson","note":"I think there are a lot more than \"two kinds\" but I also think there is a huge difference in where people sort of stopped adapting with AI? A shocking number of people are still thinking AI is a chatbot. That was two years ago. It is all agents now. And how knows where this goes. \n\nThis line though closely aligns with what has been forming in my mind:\n\n> Secondly, companies that have some sort of APIs for internal systems are going to be able to do far more than those that don't. This might be as simple as a readonly data warehouse employees can connect to and run queries on behalf of users, or it could be as far as many complex core business processes being completely APId.\n\nI would say this different. Assertion, much of what your company is can be stated differently as managed context. You have the context of your customers, your offering, your financials, your support needs. If you think of an org chart you can also think of that as a context chart. Nobody knows all the context both wide and deep, that is expertise. \n\nSo, a way to think about a company is to think of context pools. Those context pools can enable agentic behaviors. \n\nWhat does an AI native company look like? Agents operating in context alongside people to deliver value. \n\nSo the question is, how do you model context for your company? The value and investment should go there. The agents themselves will change and evolve and adapt much faster.","saved":"2026-02-05T22:51:10Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"52056bc748ca273374d12bebd7595d0e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/cd4fc396e76e/","kind":"page"},

We can give better instructions, setting clear goals that the AI can execute on with a higher chance of succeeding. We can get better at evaluation and feedback, so we need to make fewer attempts to get the AI to do the right thing. And we can make it easier to evaluate whether the AI is good or bad at a task without spending as much time. All of these factors are improved by subject matter expertise -- an expert knows what instructions to give, they can better see when something goes wrong, and they are better at correcting it.\n\nOnce I had an idea of what I wanted the Yearly Thing to be I created a Claude Code project and the first prompt I gave it to do the initial work was not good at all. Through doing the project I experienced all three of the things that Mollick highlights here.\n\n- Better instructions: my first asks were not complete enough. I asked it to do analysis and suggest recommendations but my prompts were not clear if I wanted it to look at everything? How thorough and complete was I expecting? \n- Evaluation and feedback: I quickly started ending all my early prompts with \"Please ask me any clarifying questions that would help?\" Claude often had great questions that helped me understand what I was being vague about. I also found that Claude wanted to optimize too quickly, and in some cases I just didn’t need to. It took a couple of tasks and happily made subagents to do it in parallel. This caused a ton of problems. I had to be very explicit to not create subagents. Claude even brought it back up halfway through the project and I had to stop it.\n- Confirm results: One of the more interesting things I found was a sorting task I needed Claude to do. I needed Claude to make sure it didn’t miss anything so I told it to first count the number of things it was working with, then report back what group it put each thing in, and then count up the number of things it put into a group and confirm that the first and last count were the same. This gave Claude, and me, the confidence it was doing it right.\n\nSuper interesting and all things that require a manager mindset. \n","saved":"2026-01-29T18:18:18Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"75726057dab3e37475e841eb1900a66a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5c58c1fa59fb/","kind":"page"},

In fact the folks at 1Password even jumped on the bandwagon with how to [share access with agents](https://1password.com/blog/its-openclaw) which is really them trying to get some social action but also a good point.

I've not dug deep but this research is interesting. \n\n> Life evolved under broad spectrum sunlight, from ultraviolet to infrared (300–2500 nm). This spectrally balanced light sculpted life’s physiology and metabolism. But modern lighting has recently become dominated by restricted spectrum light emitting diodes (350–650 nm LEDs). Absence of longer wavelengths in LEDs and their short wavelength dominance impacts physiology, undermining normal mitochondrial respiration that regulates metabolism, disease and ageing.\n\nReading this comes back to two fundamental things I think about a good amount: the fundamental difference of analog and digital, and our habit of reducing things to what we can measure. \n\nI was watching a movie recently with scenes in the 70's of cars that were purely mechanical cars. They sounded different. It made me think how they were, in a way, living. They consumed fuel and spit out exhaust. The act of consuming on thing to create another and notably to exhaust something feels organic in a way. Us, people, we eat, we get energy, and we \"exhaust\" that food. This feels very different to the digital world with an electrical \"air\" and information being moved without specific calories or exhaust. Perhaps there are good reasons we can relate to mechanical things in ways that their digital equivalents feel foreign.\n\nOn reductionism my thinking starts with food. I logged my food for a very long time recording macronutrients and even micros. But fundamentally what I was eating wasn't captured by this crude instrument. A banana is not just a collection of macros and micros. It is an actual banana. It has so many layers that we cannot see. But I think our bodies do. This is why we cannot just eat a paste of macros. In addition to it being gross.\n\nIs LED lighting another case of reductionism? Look, I can see the light. But what can I not see? And is it fundamentally digital, a place that \"we\" are foreigners in.

There were all those years of XHTML, before everyone decided to just live with HTML5. It is unfortunate that there are many developers that think of XML and JSON as interchangeable. They really are very different things. Many teams likely have at least some data they are managing with JSON that would be better served as XML. \n\n> This is the pattern with JSON. We chose it because it was convenient, because it was already in the browser, because developers already understood object literals. Then, when its limitations became apparent, we spent enormous effort working around them: creating validation libraries, inventing type systems (TypeScript), building code generators for API clients, developing entire frameworks to manage the chaos of untyped data structures.\n> \n> We could have just used XML. The schema validation was already there. The type systems were already there. The tooling was already there. But XML looked ugly, and closing tags felt verbose, so we chose JSON and then spent years rebuilding what XML already provided.\n\nThis last line is spot on.\n\n> This is not engineering. This is fashion masquerading as technical judgment.\n\n…and is also not new. There is a long tradition of \"fashion\" in tech pursuing whatever tech because it is cool.

This is especially true if I'm the only person (or one of a very few people) who could solve it, or if somebody is asking for my help. I feel an almost physical discomfort about it, and a corresponding relief and satisfaction when I do go and solve the problem. The work of a software engineer - or at least my work as a staff software engineer - is perfectly tailored to this tendency. Every day people rely on me to solve a series of technical problems.\n\nFor simple problems you can just have the person with the problem and the developer helping them solve it.

We think that in order to be good actors in the world, AI models like Claude need to understand _why_ we want them to behave in certain ways, and we need to explain this to them rather than merely specify _what_ we want them to do. If we want models to exercise good judgment across a wide range of novel situations, they need to be able to generalize--to apply broad principles rather than mechanically following specific rules.\n\nAnd who are the \"programmers\"? \n\n> While writing the constitution, we sought feedback from various external experts (as well as asking for input from prior iterations of Claude).

Here’s Why – On my Om","note":"This is an incredible essay from Om Malik reflecting on our modern information ecosystem. I have banged on about algorithmic manipulation of content at length, that algorithms cannot be designed without a purpose, etc. Malik does an amazing job framing this up in a much more cogent view than I ever could. I wanted to quote the whole thing, and honestly maybe you should just go read the whole thing.\n\n> Authority used to be the organizing principle of information, and thus the media. You earned attention by being right, by being first in discovery, or by being big enough to be the default. That world is gone. The new and current organizing principle of information is velocity.\n> \n> What matters now is how fast something moves through the network: how quickly it is clicked, shared, quoted, replied to, remixed, and replaced. In a system tuned for speed, authority is ornamental. **The network rewards motion first and judgment later, if ever.** Perhaps that's why you feel you can't discern between truths, half-truths, and lies.\n\nThe bold is my addition. This sets the tone for how the algorithms that sit in front of our timelines are operating. They are looking for engagement and driving velocity off of that.\n\n> That's why we get all our information as memes. The meme has become the metastory, the layer where meaning is carried. You don't need to read the thing; you just need the gist, compressed and passed along in a sentence, an image, or a joke. It has taken the role of the headline. The machine accelerates this dynamic. It demands constant material; stop feeding it and the whole structure shakes. The point of the internet now is mostly to hook attention and push it toward commerce, to keep the engine running. Anyone can get their cut.\n> \n> Velocity has taken over.\n> \n> Algorithms on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter do not optimize for truth or depth. They optimize for motion. A piece that moves fast is considered \"good.\" A piece that hesitates disappears.\n\nIt is all memes all the way down.\n\n> The algorithm doesn't care whether something is true; it cares whether it moves. Day-one content becomes advertising wearing the mask of criticism.\n\nI hope that reading this gives you a perspective, a different edge, to look at what you are seeing on your algorithmic fed feed. I feel like focusing on systems that are non-algorithmic, like RSS feeds and newsletters, is a way around that. Honestly what I do right here in these emails is nearly 100% against every single growth hack that anyone would ever tell you. You're sending a 3,000 words email? That is a horrible idea.\n\nI think what we need to counter this velocity meme train is perspective, and control, and even a bit of meditation on a regular basis.\n\n","saved":"2026-01-23T03:24:37Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"724279ed9ebabe9efd1082c65b2ed471","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/06f4a3acdc0a/","kind":"page"},

I've also been telling everyone that will listen that even though \"Code\" is in the title, know that Claude Code can do so much other than code. Truly, Claude Code is just a way to work with collections of files in a directory. You can do whatever you want beyond that. However, this is still limiting since folks that are not comfortable in a terminal are going to get scared away. **Now enter Claude Cowork!**\n\nWith Cowork you can create a \"Task\" (I would have used the term project) and associate a variety of files with it, and Claude can do very complicated actions across all of that. Simon Willison has a [first impression write-up](https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/12/claude-cowork/) on this that is worth reading. I tried this with a number of things and it was super-easy to use. Additionally, Cowork seems to put each of these tasks in a protected container which protects other files on your computer.\n\nThat container part also caused issues for me since Claude created new files for me that I couldn't get to. They were locked in the container and inaccessible. I’m sure that will be fixed soon enough, but I did find the familiar directory and non-containerized approach of Claude Code a little simpler. \n\nI think this points to a much more powerful way for us to engage with LLMs for more project-centric activities.

He's critical but not of the technology, more of the way it was produced. From my own usage of the Vision Pro it is clear that you have to think about production in a very different way. Cutting from one camera to another in a VR experience is jarring and not like anything on a regular TV. I was hopeful that Apple would do some innovative things like this with MLS coverage, and that never did happen. Now my hope is that the deal with F1 will be where we see this attempted. I want to feel like I’m driving the Ferrari as it races around the track. This should be entirely possible with the Vision Pro and the content rights must be in place now. F1 may be the best sport to learn how to create these experiences. I’m hopeful.","saved":"2026-01-14T13:58:10Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"10f2614a8cc788fa01b44b5639a3a5a1","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0220b5dfb387/","kind":"page"},

Redis is this incredible vector database that is well known for being incredible performant, stable, and reliable. I still remember using Redis a long, long time ago when I had to download the tar-ball and build it myself. It was beautiful to watch because the code was so clean, and so well maintained that there were no compiler errors. The entire process gave you confidence in the software from the very beginning. Critical with a service like Redis.\n\nI share this just to say that Sanfilippo is a craftsman. This is someone that cares deeply about software and the craft that goes into making it. He has been blogging about his use of LLMs lately and I've followed his experience closely because of his focus on craft. I know many engineers who have scoffed and written LLM coding agents off. I think this is a huge mistake. Writing software is so incredibly complicated and difficult, and using LLM's will allow us to create so much better solutions than before. His call to action is a good one.\n\n> Anyway, back to programming. I have a single suggestion for you, my friend. Whatever you believe about what the Right Thing should be, you can't control it by refusing what is happening right now. Skipping AI is not going to help you or your career. Think about it. Test these new tools, with care, with weeks of work, not in a five minutes test where you can just reinforce your own beliefs. Find a way to multiply yourself, and if it does not work for you, try again every few months.\n\nI have always embraced the word \"builder.\" I think of myself as a builder. Ultimately I find working with LLM's amazing because it helps me build more things better. His final paragraph resonates so strongly with me. (emphasis is mine)\n\n> Yes, maybe you think that you worked so hard to learn coding, and now machines are doing it for you. But what was the fire inside you, when you coded till night to see your project working? It was building. **And now you can build more and better**, if you find your way to use AI effectively. The fun is still there, untouched.\n\nWhat is your why? Is it to be the best coder, or the best builder? \n","saved":"2026-01-12T00:15:01Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"64537a82bce5384c31ed32cbe9eb5658","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/31df5b400fdd/","kind":"page"},

Consider the intersections between RSS and the wider social web.\n\nThe issue to me for RSS and why companies choose to not support it is the same stuff that makes it amazing. It is open. No company can control it. They cannot wrestle it down behind a paywall. They can’t force you to engage with it in a certain way. It shares much of that with email. These mediums give the user power, and sadly for many services they don't like that.\n\nNearly all social media sites supported RSS when they launched.

Strickland does a great job in this post generally describing the cultures of these various languages, starting with Perl, then Ruby, PHP, and Python. All of these languages are still used and will be for as long as I can imagine. But of them only Python has continued to ascend and is now one of the most popular languages. Strickland's suggestion is this is as much about the culture of these languages than anything else. \n\n> When I sketch out this landscape, I remain firmly convinced that most of Perl's impedance to continued growth were cultural. Perl's huge moment of relevance in the 90s was because it cross-pollinated two diverging user cultures. Traditional UNIX / database / data-centre maintenance and admin users, and enthusiastic early web builders and scalers. It had a cultural shock phase from extremely rapid growth, the centre couldn't hold, and things slowly fell apart.\n\nMy first websites were dynamic using `cgi-bin` and `mod-perl`. I wrote a ton of Perl for BigCharts back in the day. This article hits it right — those early web users were almost all also Unix admins. \n\nThinking of the culture of programming languages is an interesting thing, and something that groups should be intentional about.\n\nPS: I love that this includes the mess of PHP as well. I've always called that \"the people's language\". The fact that WordPress and MediaWiki are built on PHP guarantees it a place on the web nearly forever. \n","saved":"2025-12-11T13:09:17Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"57a721f4147a7c818deb2ce58645de5c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4751771be7e0/","kind":"page"},

Note, LLM's are great at helping you with prompt engineering.

That's slow. If you want an agent to act quickly then you have to plan ahead: build pipes that flow potential context from where it is created to where it's going to be used.\n\nYou see, you have to first figure out if you have the right context. You then have to make sure it isn't enough. You need to make sure that context is up-to-date. You need to move that context and preserve it. There is a lot of things to do here. And if you do it well, your prompt in the LLM will do amazing things. If you do it poorly, you'll get okay results. \n\nSometimes context is interchanged with data. I don't know that that is right. Some context is data, but not all of it. For example, the windows on your computer screen right now as you read this is important context. Nobody is putting that in a database.\n\nSo, strategically it may be that the benefit you can achieve from LLMs is tuned to how well you can understand and manage context. \n","saved":"2025-12-01T23:04:04Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2a9e4a3e06776189155f8b25df5a8d7f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6c8c4e87395b/","kind":"page"},

It reminds me a bit of [TinyTroupe](https://github.com/microsoft/TinyTroupe) (shared in [WT301](https://weekly.thingelstad.com/archive/301/)).\n\n> The idea of this repo is that instead of asking a question to your favorite LLM provider (e.g. OpenAI GPT 5.1, Google Gemini 3.0 Pro, Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.5, xAI Grok 4, eg.c), you can group them into your \"LLM Council\". This repo is a simple, local web app that essentially looks like ChatGPT except it uses OpenRouter to send your query to multiple LLMs, it then asks them to review and rank each other's work, and finally a Chairman LLM produces the final response.\n\nSo how does it work?\n\n> In a bit more detail, here is what happens when you submit a query:\n> \n> 1. **Stage 1: First opinions**. The user query is given to all LLMs individually, and the responses are collected. The individual responses are shown in a \"tab view\", so that the user can inspect them all one by one.\n> 2. **Stage 2: Review**. Each individual LLM is given the responses of the other LLMs. Under the hood, the LLM identities are anonymized so that the LLM can't play favorites when judging their outputs. The LLM is asked to rank them in accuracy and insight.\n> 3. **Stage 3: Final response**. The designated Chairman of the LLM Council takes all of the model's responses and compiles them into a single final answer that is presented to the user.\n\nI dig this and it would be exactly what I want to have if instead of just interacting directly with the LLMs you could define agents in front of them. I think there are several use cases where I would like to define a bespoke set of agents, with different perspectives and goals, and ask them for feedback and debate on something.

When the website is reloaded, the web server can reconstruct the identification number with the network requests sent by the client for the missing favicons and thus identify the browser.\n\nLike fingerprinting this will require the browser software to evolve to protect against.\n","saved":"2025-11-20T21:20:36Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a3c06d7064f04f280e45bb7843cdd2e5","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/2790a0b67752/","kind":"repository"},

Cloudflare is not a well known name to most but they are probably the largest CDN (content distribution network) in the world and they operate as a caching front-end for many websites. I have a lot of respect for the stuff they do — they are truly solving unique and very difficult engineering problems to scale the Internet and web even more.  This outage was rare and as is often the case the cause was frustrating banal.\n\n> **The issue was not caused, directly or indirectly, by a cyber attack or malicious activity of any kind.** Instead, it was triggered by a change to one of our database systems' permissions which caused the database to output multiple entries into a \"feature file\" used by our Bot Management system. That feature file, in turn, doubled in size. The larger-than-expected feature file was then propagated to all the machines that make up our network.\n> \n> The software running on these machines to route traffic across our network reads this feature file to keep our Bot Management system up to date with ever changing threats. The software had a limit on the size of the feature file that was below its doubled size. That caused the software to fail.\n\nThis is the kind of thing that can cause you massive issues and it seems so simple. Very specific issue, but the automation that allows the scale they operate takes anything and spreads it everywhere instantly. While physical isolation of infrastructure for survivability is very often clearly in place, the logical isolation of the software that that isolated physical infrastructure uses is a whole different issue. \n\nThe observation that their status page was also down and it just being a coincidence seems almost too random to believe, but I guess.

I've now had a couple of problems that have long bothered me, things that I knew machine learning could possibly do but the costs were prohibitive or the solution I wanted to create just didn’t have enough data. I've come back to those problems and reimagined them with a different approach using LLMs and found incredible success. \n\n> Over multiple years, we built a supervised pipeline that worked. In 6 rounds of prompting, we matched it. That's the headline, but it's not the point. The real shift is that classification is no longer gated by data availability, annotation cycles, or pipeline engineering.\n> \n> Supervised models still make sense when you have stable targets and millions of labeled samples. But in domains where the taxonomy drifts, the data is scarce, or the requirements shift faster than you can annotate, LLMs turn an impossible backlog into a prompt iteration loop.\n> \n> We didn't just replace a model. We replaced a process.\n\nThis article does a great job showing an example of that. Two things:\n\n1. Machine learning and LLMs are cousins in the artificial intelligence pantheon, but they are completely and totally different. They should not be used in any way interchangeably. ML will continue to meet a niche set of very specific problem domains. But you should never consider swapping an ML solution for an LLM one unless you are redesigning the entire process.\n2. Machine learning solutions often require an approach that is very \"machine\". Math and data heavy, looking for things that are sometimes arcane.

What do I mean? Most cars are cars that happen to have not one, but a bunch of computers, that do an okay job of working together to create a driver experience. It is absolutely not unified and works well enough. Tesla's are totally different. They are a single computer that is controlling a unified, continuously connected experience that happens to drive around the road. \n\nIn the first model CarPlay is \"just another\" computer joining the symphony of computers already in your car. In fact, CarPlay is a different computer that knows stuff the other computers don't even know or if they do they are happy to step back and disconnect from the experience. \n\nIn a Tesla, it is all connected. How would the navigation system in a Tesla relate to something in CarPlay? It cannot. In fact, it would step the experience backwards and make it no longer connected and unified. So, if this does happen, I'll be super curious to see how it is done. Tesla could provide a CarPlay window — almost like an emulator running on a computer to run another operating system inside it.","saved":"2025-11-16T04:03:51Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a62d31f5a83021687d524896088d3201","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d6d06fa55a80/","kind":"page"},

Excuse the lengthy excerpt:\n\n> In each of these transitions, the business environment shifted, leading to a new formulation of ideal leadership. That makes a lot of sense: of course we want leaders to fit the necessary patterns of today. Where things get weird is that in each case a morality tale was subsequently superimposed on top of the transition:\n> \n> - In the 2010s, the morality tale was that it was all about empowering engineers as a fundamental good. Sure, I can get excited for that, but I don't really believe that narrative: it happened because hiring was competitive.\n> - In the 2020s, the morality tale is that bureaucratic middle management have made organizations stale and inefficient. The lack of experts has crippled organizational efficiency. Once again, I can get behind that--there's truth here--but the much larger drivers aren't about morality, it's about ZIRP-ending and optimism about productivity gains from AI tooling.\n> \n> The conclusion here is clear: the industry will want different things from you as it evolves, and it will tell you that each of those shifts is because of some complex moral change, but it's pretty much always about business realities changing. If you take any current morality tale as true, then you're setting yourself up to be severely out of position when the industry shifts again in a few years, because \"good leadership\" is just a fad.\n\nThis is amazing and I completely \"feel\" what he is saying. I've been leading technology teams for nearly 30 years and in the big challenges, the waves that are coming over our industry and business environment, have changed many times. As a leader you must also change and adapt. The inputs are many and properly evaluating how those inputs have changed and how that affects what you do as a leader is critical to \"staying on the bus\" and having impact. \n\nI love his list of core and growth skills. This article is gold for leaders of teams, and while it is written for a technology leader I’m sure is applicable to other leadership roles and domains. \n\nI’m a fan of taking time to refactor your own tools or capabilities. I've shared many times that I think doing an annual start and stop list is a necessary practice. In a faster growing company you may do it every 6 months or every quarter. But Larson is hitting on a bigger thing. When the fundamentals shift in technology, you need to assess differently and literally operate differently. For me this has meant leaning into AI obsessively, amongst other things. \n","saved":"2025-11-13T00:51:27Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"58637d88cb8737de894260ba714ef646","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/cb65929e1fa2/","kind":"page"},

It is all a pretty simple example, but it is powerful to show how much capability you can create with these. I think it is fair to say that today every developer should know how to author their own agents with sub-agents and tools. Compared to deploying something in AWS, this is easy.\n\nThe author correctly highlights what I know to be one of the biggest challenges — managing context windows.\n\n> You're allotted a fixed number of tokens in any context window. Each input you feed in, each output you save, each tool you describe, and each tool output eats tokens (that is: takes up space in the array of strings you keep to pretend you're having a conversation with a stateless black box). Past a threshold, the whole system begins getting nondeterministically stupider. Fun!\n> \n> No, really. Fun! You have so many options. Take \"sub-agents\". People make a huge deal out of Claude Code's sub-agents, but you can see now how trivial they are to implement: just a new context array, another `call` to the model. Give each `call`different tools. Make sub-agents talk to each other, summarize each other, collate and aggregate. Build tree structures out of them. Feed them back through the LLM to summarize them as a form of on-the-fly compression, whatever you like.\n> \n> Your wackiest idea will probably (1) work and (2) take 30 minutes to code.\n\nGreat stuff.\n","saved":"2025-11-11T14:17:04Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"49cb4763c0024b4098acea4c298181b4","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ca03375f2436/","kind":"page"},

I love this callout toward the end.\n\n> Out of curiosity I put Stephen's email address, now that I knew it, into a Duck Duck search and found him helping people online with TIFF queries long after Aldus had been acquired by Adobe. He also contributed to a Google Group called tiffcentral.\n\nThat is the Internet I love — where the one person that made TIFF, years later is in a discussion board answering some questions about the thing.\n","saved":"2025-11-11T14:16:31Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"479d9eb6d17236c026b2145c7c699b12","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/de84a449f2d8/","kind":"page"},

Every developer should learn this structure deeply. So many times you see URLs that just contain a GUID that is obviously a pointer to some caching system in the backend. Obtuse, unsharable, difficult to deal with.\n\n> It was one of those moments where something you once knew suddenly clicks again with fresh significance. Here was a URL doing far more than just pointing to a page. It was storing state, encoding intent, and making my entire setup shareable and recoverable. No database. No cookies. No localStorage. Just a URL.\n> \n> This got me thinking: how often do we, as frontend engineers, overlook the URL as a state management tool? We reach for all sorts of abstractions to manage state such as global stores, contexts, and caches while ignoring one of the web's most elegant and oldest features: the humble URL.\n\nGood URL design is designing \"with the grain\" of the web.\n","saved":"2025-11-07T04:34:40Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"9dd5fee0f7dc095c755d74693f276357","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8c6905cba07d/","kind":"page"},

If you use something like WordPress or something else with a database they all pretty much punt that to the database and use whatever the SQL server can do. This is okay, but not great. Almost no blog uses a true search index. \n\nStatic sites have it even harder. There is no database and no SQL server to ask search questions to. You have to do it in the client. Most sites figure out a way to do it but it’s clunky and often involves loading a ton of data in the client via Javascript. Pagefind has a radically better approach.\n\n> The goal of Pagefind is that websites with tens of thousands of pages should be searchable by someone in their browser, while consuming as little bandwidth as possible. Pagefind’s search index is split into chunks, so that searching in the browser only ever needs to load a small subset of the search index. Pagefind can run a full-text search on a 10,000 page site with a total network payload under 300kB, including the Pagefind library itself. For most sites, this will be closer to 100kB.\n\nI love this and for now I’m hoping that micro.blog adds this natively or some other plug-in developer takes a go at it. It seems like a much better solution than anything else I've seen for static sites.

The answer to that is a 100% yes, and in fact isn't really optional. I can’t imagine how a CTO could drive an AI strategy without using it deeply. Your craft is critical to leading. Yes, you should do that.

The core issue was a failure in DNS automation.\n\n> Many of the largest AWS services rely extensively on DNS to provide seamless scale, fault isolation and recovery, low latency, and locality. Services like DynamoDB maintain hundreds of thousands of DNS records to operate a very large heterogeneous fleet of load balancers in each Region. Automation is crucial to ensuring that these DNS records are updated frequently to add additional capacity as it becomes available, to correctly handle hardware failures, and to efficiently distribute traffic to optimize customers' experience. […] **The root cause of this issue was a latent race condition in the DynamoDB DNS management system that resulted in an incorrect empty DNS record for the service's regional endpoint (dynamodb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com) that the automation failed to repair.**\n\nWithout DNS no system knows how to find any other systems. Additionally AWS automation for many other services relies on DynamoDB. This was a particularly bad failure state. \n","saved":"2025-10-24T03:21:16Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"145cc5cbf5aeed9d37a017e1cfb6d120","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f8bf443a8165/","kind":"page"},

I cut did a lot of early work using Subversion `svn` and go way back to `cvs` and [SourceSafe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_SourceSafe). The days **before distributed version control** sucked by the way. You couldn't code unless you were connected online and they were so, so, so slow. Git was a miracle when Torvald's made it. And notably he made it out of necessity because nothing else could handle the Linux kernel, at least the way he wanted to do it.\n\nNow though we have entered the vast monoculture. Git is everything and everywhere. It is the single tool everyone uses and that has benefit of not having to learn new things. Remember Mercurial `hg`? No switching costs. But it also limits the view developers have of how code is managed and new, novel approaches are good. We need code diversity to encourage creative new approaches.

Four kinds of dependencies work to chain your issues together like beads, making them easy for agents to follow for long distances, and reliably perform complex task streams in the right order.\n\nIf you aren't close to software development let me just highlight that all software of any size uses an issue tracker of some sort. Think of it like a database that has probably thousands of issues — features, bugs, stories, what have you that are all work \"to be done\" on a code base. They often have all sorts of metadata. This is key to getting several developers organized to build something. There has been a ton of work via MCP to get coding agents access to these databases so they can better work alongside developers.\n\nI've mused for a while that I wonder if that isn't all backwards and in reality the developers and people should just move into the code. Create a `stories` directory and write away. This is now labeled spec-driven development. \n\nBeads is a whole different thing and instead is an issue tracker built for agents. It is a novel approach and notable because it in effect relieves context window issues from your agents — just like people. Developers use issue trackers because you cannot possibly remember all this stuff. Same thing for agents. But instead give the agent a super-fast local data store that is command-line available.\n\n> You don't use Beads directly as a human. Your coding agent will file and manage issues on your behalf. They'll file things they notice automatically, and you can ask them at any time to add or update issues for you.\n> \n> Beads gives agents unprecedented long-term planning capability, solving their amnesia when dealing with complex nested plans. They can trivially query the ready work, orient themselves, and land on their feet as soon as they boot up.\n\nHe also wrote a [full introduction](https://steve-yegge.medium.com/introducing-beads-a-coding-agent-memory-system-637d7d92514a) and an article about [how he built it](https://steve-yegge.medium.com/the-beads-revolution-how-i-built-the-todo-system-that-ai-agents-actually-want-to-use-228a5f9be2a9).\n\nFascinating stuff!","saved":"2025-10-16T16:13:25Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"02ea9de5be24d31838c3d5598f3b29df","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/36b99d6c1b0c/","kind":"repository"},

If you would have stopped by before the era of digital music you may have taken a moment to browse the 1,800+ CD collection that I had alphabetically organized on display. I distinctly remember finding these very clean, modern looking CD racks with silver rods. The jewel cases fit perfectly at an angle that made them easy to read. I would go find five CD's and load them into the 5-disc CD changer and have a great time. Thinking back on it I enjoyed that music collection in ways that I get nothing from today's world of streaming. \n\nSo with that I found this article just **awesome**… \n\n> I could combine my old CD-collector brain with today's tech: take something fun and collectable (trading cards), dress them up with album art, and add NFC tags so they can be tapped to play the album on our home speaker system, all without a screen.\n\nHow to do it?\n\n> The process was simple: open PlexAmp, navigate to an album, tap the three dots menu, then Share, and there's a \"Write to NFC tag\" option. Hold your phone over the blank NFC tag and it writes the deep link. That's it. The tag just contains a URL that opens PlexAmp and starts playing that specific album when tapped.\n\nI am so in love with this concept that I want to start printing Music cards right now!\n\nAt our cabin we have a record player and a small collection of vinyl LPs. It is great and a wonderful way to listen to music. I have Plex servers and still have all the MP3 files that I ripped from those 1,800+ CDs. By the way, I still have all those CD's in archival cases as well. I regularly think when listening to records that it is awesome that no service in the cloud knows what we are doing. No company is monetizing the fact that I’m again listening to this beautiful colored vinyl Brandi Carlile album. \n\nMaybe some NFC tags and fancy cards are the way to create that feeling even more.","saved":"2025-10-16T16:12:11Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"47413944c2313fc930ea45afe5f6606b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0fe3db4b5e9a/","kind":"page"},

The first handful of times I used it I was blown away not just by what it does but how it does it.\n\nI feel like the pull quote everyone will highlight on this is:\n\n> Fun fact: 90% of code in Claude Code is written by itself!\n\nbut for those that think software will just write itself also note\n\n> software engineers appear _very much_ in demand\n\nI had never heard of this \"product overhang\" concept.\n\n> **In AI, we talk about \"product overhang\", and this is what we discovered with the prototype.** Product overhang means that a model is able to do a specific thing, but the product that the AI runs in isn't built in a way that captures this capability. What I discovered about Claude exploring the filesystem was pure product overhang. The model could already do this, but there wasn't a product built around this capability!\"\n\nA big theme I see here that I’m also seeing with other teams using agentic coding tools is the freedom to explore. There is **no way** that a team could create 20 prototypes for a feature, explore the various options, and then decide how to proceed. Now with AI we can do just that.\n\nI had a similar conversation recently with an engineering team and asked how they picked one of multiple ways that a specific problem could be approached. They said they prototyped all of them and then decided. That blew me away.\n\nCould this be the unlock of the golden age of software? Think of this progression.\n\n1. Interpreted languages and tools like Python allowed us to reduce the cost of refactoring software dramatically from the days of compiled C++ code. This allowed us to adopt agile practices and try things.\n2. The cloud brought the same ephemeral agility to infrastructure. We can provision services as we wish to and try things to find what works best.\n3. Could AI allow us to orchestrate all of this to \"explore\" product ideas more than having to \"map the journey\" ahead of time? \n\n_Sadly the rest of the article is only for paid subscribers, but just that first part was worth it._ \n\n","saved":"2025-09-26T00:54:38Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"fa9f09addebba614ee9ca11deafe7c1d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/142b7d54413b/","kind":"page"},

Never reply to these, just delete them. It is almost certainly an initial attempt at some form of fraud to perpetrate — likely this \"pig-butchering\" scam. It is a horrible name.\n\n> In this paper, we present the first qualitative analysis of pig-butchering scams, informed by in-depth semi-structured interviews with N= 26 victims. We capture nuanced, first-hand accounts from victims, providing insight into the lifecycle of pig-butchering scams and the complex emotional and financial manipulation involved. We systematically analyze each phase of the scam, revealing that perpetrators employ tactics such as staged trust-building, fraudulent financial platforms, fabricated investment returns, and repeated high-pressure tactics, all designed to exploit victims' trust and financial resources over extended periods. Our findings reveal an organized scam lifecycle characterized by emotional manipulation, staged financial exploitation, and persistent reengagement efforts that amplify victim losses. We also find complex psychological and financial impacts on victims, including heightened vulnerability to secondary scams.\n\nThis is a long, clinically worded paper but worth reading to get a good sense of the methodology used by the criminals.

Depending on the material that you use, you require different disciplines to build a product. If you are making a plastic nozzle that handles high pressure you probably need materials science people, someone that knows how to deal with high pressure, and who knows what else.\n\nWhen you make software you need similar disciplines. It has changed a lot over the years. The roles have blurred. We used to require database people in nearly all products, but then databases got easier and only really specific requirements still need that. Even testing used to be specialized and has become less. But we still have a couple of major branches that are seen as different disciplines: notably product manager types that understand markets, and software developer types that create magical incantations for the computers. \n\nBut at the core, it is all just making products and solutions. Everyone doing their part of their domain to make that a reality. This concept of Forward Deployed Engineers going to that core. Reduce cognitive overhead by limiting the count of brains. Get the solutioning as close to the user problem as possible — everything else is a layer of abstraction. \n\n> The core of the FDE model is that you send empowered engineers (and other product creators) directly to spend intense time embedded with customers, with the express purpose of learning the problem and solution space, so they can discover a solution that will achieve the necessary outcome.\n\nThe magic is less about the domains and figuring out how you generalize any of this into repeatable solutions. Building a single widget is fine. Building a machine that builds a million widgets is a whole different thing. \n\n> The original form of an FDE is to send them to not just one, but to multiple customers, so they can personally and directly see the similarities and the differences, with the goal of creating a _single product_that can serve the needs of multiple customers. This is the essence of [customer discovery](https://www.svpg.com/charter-customer-programs/).\n\nNot everyone can do everything. We need specialization, even with AI coming onto the scene. However it would be good at regular times for any team making a product, regardless of your materials and your domains, to just remind themselves that they all have one job — to make the product. \n\nReminds me a saying — what is the goal of the goalie in soccer? To stop the other team from scoring? No. To win the game.\n","saved":"2025-09-17T12:51:43Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"303e3e7d7620f3ebd430c6aba9348511","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9477b01b6206/","kind":"page"},

Why read seven pages on this? I spend a lot of time on macOS and I like to know how it is changing. \n\n- Liquid Glass is the headline design element of all these releases. There has been a lot of hand wringing about it. Some love it and a lot of folks are less positive. I’m just getting my first glimpses and so far I've found it pretty comfortable and usable. We'll see how it evolves as developers get more experience with it. \n- Control Center has gotten really powerful over many releases. Having multiple instances in Tahoe is interesting. Also you can now put individual Control Center capabilities in the menu bar. \n- I wasn't aware of how much personalization capability there is in Tahoe. It isn't marketed that way, but it really feels like the most customizable version of macOS perhaps ever.\n- I use [Raycast](https://www.raycast.com) and before that [LaunchBar](https://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html) so I tend to not ever use Spotlight but the new Spotlight sounds like a huge upgrade for those that haven't used launchers in the past. \n- Shortcuts is one of my most used capabilities and now having direct model access to Apple Intelligence is a big win. I've used OpenAI APIs to do things like this already and it is powerful. It is now tons easier to do. This is worth playing with. \n- Journal is now on more platforms. I still have Day One and might consider moving to Journal but there is no easy path. I realize the right answer is use neither and just write in text files.\n\nI never install the betas but I do upgrade the day the new releases are out. So far I’m having a lot of fun with Tahoe.

Nah, it is neither of those things.\n\n> The primary purpose of prototyping is to help discover a successful solution.\n> \n> Going from an idea that could potentially solve a problem, to a prototype of an effective solution is [the craft of product](https://www.svpg.com/the-nature-of-product/).

There is a core theme here that resonates strongly with me:\n\n> But here's what I've realized watching them: they're not lazy. They're just following the natural path that technology has always followed. Every major advancement in programming has been about abstracting away complexity so humans can focus on higher-level problems. We moved from machine code to assembly to high-level languages to frameworks to libraries. Each step made things \"easier\" and each step had people complaining that developers were getting soft.\n\nThe reality today is that every modern developer is building on dozens of layers of abstraction. With the complexity of software today nobody, really nobody, understands what is happening on the lowest level of the machine. I like to think of your average Python developer creating a dictionary object. Do they know what just happened in memory and how that is going to evolve as they shove more and more data into it? Most have no clue.\n\nAnd, honestly, that is fine. Even better. Worrying about those details limit your ability to see the broader scope. It focuses you on the \"how\" over the \"what\" too much. \n\nHowever, there is a time when that detail can matter. It is typically around performance, security, and reliability. Then it gets harder. Those problems will still exist, but how we solve them will evolve.\n\nThe archetypes of Experimenters and Guardians are definitely real examples. On the whole, this direction suggested is likely accurate, but I would suggest not as extreme.

More similarities than we may like in those two statements. People hate boredom and we now carry a device that can stop it at any moment, but that deprives us of a feedback loop that is important. \n\nI meditate most every day which gives a wonderful opportunity to observe your brain, but it still is an activity and is not boredom.

By aligning product strategy, operating rhythms, and engineering practices around people, not just platforms, you create the conditions for sustainable delivery in the AI era.\n\nI particularly like the \"process needs to become more human\". The future isn't sending off a user story to an LLM but instead rethinking how we build software and bringing everyone — programmers, designers, product, maybe even customer — and putting AI in the middle of all of it.

Personally I've been able to \"think different\" about these approaches when I scale a large data problem down to a single instance and then think \"How would a person do this for one thing?\" In general that answer is a reasonable parallel to how an LLM could do it. Notably, it is very different than how a traditional Machine Learning and Big Data approach would work.\n\nOf course the issue than is how you scale it, but there are many ways to approach that that they go over.\n\n> Initially, using this method to generate profiles for our roughly 90 million buyers would have been exceedingly costly and taken weeks to update. We optimized this by:\n> \n> - Shifting our listings data source from API endpoints to BigQuery tables that are clustered and partitioned for efficient querying.\n> - Decreasing the volume of input tokens. Initially, we were including about 2 years of session data. Now, we've reduced this to just the last 9 months. The 9 month timeframe also allowed us to lighten the prompt corrections (and cached input tokens) by reducing the weight of holiday shopping.\n> - Increasing LLM and BigQuery batch sizes for data processing.\n> - Introducing parallel processing with managed concurrency to avoid request rate limits.\n> - Scaling up computational resources for session data retrieval and LLM processing tasks.\n> \n> These improvements reduced buyer profile generation time dramatically -- from 21 days down to 3 days for 10 million users. Cost management was also crucial. By adjusting the prompt to get high quality results with a smaller model, we significantly lowered the cost and made large-scale personalization economically feasible. Through these various cost management techniques, we were able to reduce the estimated cost by 94% per million users.\n\nThe magical things I’m noting in these solutions is the ability to control the amount of data you bring to the LLM, the frequency, and even the cognitive effort the LLM will put towards it with a token budget.","saved":"2025-09-12T01:30:08Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a86d8a76eacf0175d2886d77ceec47d6","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d5a98cf68703/","kind":"page"},

Here’s how to plan what happens to it","note":"I've thought some about what will happen to my website and newsletter after I’m gone. It is a much more complicated matter than it seems and it is certainly not just a technical one. Having a digital will is likely a needed thing already. I like the categorical breakdown here.\n\n> Digital legacy is commonly classified into two categories: [digital assets and digital presence](https://www.esafety.gov.au/key-topics/digital-wellbeing/what-happens-to-your-digital-accounts-after-you-die).\n> \n> Digital assets include items with economic value. For example, domain names, financial accounts, monetised social media, online businesses, virtual currencies, digital goods, and personal digital IP. Access to these is spread across platforms, hidden behind passwords or restricted by privacy laws.\n> \n> Digital presence includes content with no monetary value. However, it may have great personal significance. For example, our photos and videos, social media profiles, email or chat threads, and other content archived in cloud or platform services.\n\nI've thought a good amount about those assets but I haven't considered as much those presence items. \n\n> Digital remains now also include scheduled [posthumous messages](https://go-paige.com/memories/) or [AI-generated avatars](https://www.hereafter.ai/).\n\nAgain expanding the realm of what we want to consider. Having messages that are scheduled to send in the future, after one's death, may not be uncommon but it also isn't that difficult and there are services that will do this for you now. By the way, how sad would it be if those messages went into spam folders and were never read. \n\nA couple of years ago Apple introduced [Legacy Contacts](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102631) for your Apple account that is a solution in this space. I’m not sure what other companies are doing here but it is something that should be part of accounts and products.\n\nThis is an area that I find blockchain technologies compelling since the assets are controlled by wallets and if I transfer that wallet to another person there is guaranteed access and control.\n\nEverything you would do to better manage your security and privacy helps you here. The number one recommendation is to use a password manager. And if you do that, you automatically have a database of all your logins. As long as you manage to get your \"digital executor\" those credentials you're good. And nearly all of those solutions have an option to print out a combination of codes and passwords that could be stored and given to someone to get access. \n\nSo, yeah, make sure you are using a password manager.","saved":"2025-06-27T03:23:58Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"207a237d4eba50ec6c759bcfab2e0636","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/77128df8f727/","kind":"page"},

The issues described in here are all real, and I think they are being overly limited in just considering crawling. This is an ideal surface area for crypto. It would be very easy for websites to advertise an address that payments should go to. In addition, I think we need to be considering the idea of every website having an MCP endpoint, as well as an Agent that other Agents could talk to. My blog could have a \"menu\" like:\n\n- Download archive (faster than crawl): 10 sats\n- Call to MCP server: 20 sats\n- Agent interactions: 40 sats\n\nThere is increasing cost and capability. This is then direct payment from the requestor. Super low transaction costs and immediate settlement are necessary.\n\nThere is a known need for micropayments and I don't see how any of the traditional financial solutions can meet the need. Digital money, crypto, has the answer.\n","saved":"2025-06-26T22:45:52Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7023d3b380150205cb0ec5c95cb9c156","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8790ccaa8a81/","kind":"page"},

It is important to remember that Gold has a footprint too.\n\n> The gangs’ involvement is spurring violence and helping to prop up autocrats. Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s dictator, gives the army a free hand to work with gold-mining mafias in return for political loyalty. Colombia’s biggest gold mine, Buriticá, is the site of a stand-off between its Chinese operator and 2,000 miners linked to the Gulf Clan, a gang that stole $200m worth of the glittering ore from Buriticá’s tunnels last year. Since 2019 some 18 miners have died there. After a recent government crackdown in Bolívar, an illegal-mining hotspot in northern Colombia, the clan retaliated, killing more than 20 soldiers and policemen. Last month gunmen in Ecuador killed 11 soldiers during an operation to shut down an illegal mine.\n\nI suspect every currency or store of value has externalities and costs.","saved":"2025-06-26T22:45:47Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"5cf5e152e6e794820da89df87ccd7ce7","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e7fa790c751b/","kind":"page"},

I don't publish the Weekly Thing on Substack even though it would be easy to do, free, and would for sure drive user metrics up. That is what their platform does. But we know where this train ends.\r\n\r\n> Expect enclosure; expect a few big winners; expect advertising, with all the attention-hacking that will demand. Expect, also, that writers will continue to mold their work to fit Substack’s particular ecology, rather than “merely” use the tools to pursue their independent visions and ambitions. We learned this about platforms a long time ago: following the old newspaper schematic, they aren’t the printing presses, but rather the assignment editors.\r\n\r\nI feel like we need a new word for this that isn't platform. Platform just feels wrong. Ecosystem feels like a more accurate word since it describes more accurately both the provider and consumer in a loop and the boosting to driven objectives that happen in there. Overall they are systems, but that seems too neutral as well. **Platform sounds like a tool, and these ecosystems are highly opinionated in ways tools are not.**\r\n\r\n> There’s one platform for which none of this is true, and that’s the web platform, because it offers the grain of a medium — book, movie, album — rather than the seduction of an algorithmic ecology. The web platform makes no demands because it offers nothing beyond the opportunity to do good work. Certainly it offers no attention — that, you have to find on your own. Here is your printing press.\r\n\r\nYes, the web itself is a platform. It allows you to express yourself.

Capping loops keeps the brain in one piece.\n> - **Reviewable reasoning.** A reviewer who can read the model's chain-of-thought is far less likely to rubber-stamp copy-paste patterns.\n> - **Post-mortem super-powers.** Every production incident becomes replayable: prompts, responses, timestamps.

The two are not in opposition, but instead are in an act or co-creation and enabling and supporting human developers to operate at a scale and level of understanding that is not possible otherwise. \n\nMy entire career has had one very consistent fact:\n\n**Our demand for software seems to have no bound**. \n\nI often say we have 20 lbs of flour and a 5 lb bag. It's been like that for decades. Leading software teams is often critically about what you are not going to do since it is entirely impossible to do everything. If we have huge impact on productivity -- I’m very positive we will simply want more.\n\n**There is so much to build!**\n\nThere is another angle that isn't discussed as often. As software and systems have gotten more complex the challenge for engineers has gotten so much harder. It is common for developers to only know their little bit of code and nothing about the rest. This is dangerous but necessary. One brain simply cannot hold all of that context. Remember that when you load a product detail page on Amazon over 1,000 services are engaged to show that. Likely nobody actually knows how that is all related. \n\nAI in our development environments may help scale the ability for developers to actually see and understand these systems.

We can do complicated things by orchestrating these tasks together. That is a multi-agent system with multiple agents coordinating. This article shares how Anthropic is approaching these. \n\n1. Think like your agents.\n2. Teach the orchestrator how to delegate.\n3. Scale effort to query complexity.\n4. Tool design and selection are critical.\n5. Let agents improve themselves.\n6. Start wide, then narrow down.\n7. Guide the thinking process.\n8. Parallel tool calling transforms speed and performance.\n\nThis bit out of the agents improving themselves was very interesting to me. \n\n> We found that the Claude 4 models can be excellent prompt engineers. When given a prompt and a failure mode, they are able to diagnose why the agent is failing and suggest improvements. We even created a tool-testing agent--when given a flawed MCP tool, it attempts to use the tool and then rewrites the tool description to avoid failures. By testing the tool dozens of times, this agent found key nuances and bugs.\n\nAgent performance, collaboration, and improvement will be an interesting area as we create more of these. \n\nAlso see \n[Simon Willison's commentary](https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/14/multi-agent-research-system/) on this.

The point of this is that usually we can generate some sort of a mental model to categorize and understand a given technology, but LLMs seem to not fit those models. In a super simple way you can think of it like a \"calculator for words\" but that feels completely wrong when you see an LLM respond with something that is truly insightful. \n\n> But I think it's a mistake to write off this technology as _just_ a statistical model of text. I think the word \"_just_\" is doing too much heavy lifting in that sentence. Our intuitions break down when we encounter systems beyond the scales of everyday human life, and LLMs are an example of that. It's like saying \"humans are _just_ a soup of organic chemistry\" (c.f. Terry Bisson's short story [They're Made out of Meat](https://www.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/writing/prose/text/thinkingMeat.html)). Intuitively, it doesn't seem possible that evolution by natural selection would lead to conscious beings. But, somehow we humans are an emergent property of long chains of amino acids recombining, randomly changing, reproducing, and being filtered out by nature. The scale of evolution is so unimaginably long that our intuition of what evolution can do breaks down: we probably wouldn't believe that such a thing was even possible if the evidence in support of it wasn't so damn overwhelming. It's worth noting here that one of the alternative approaches to AI was inspired by evolution by natural selection: _genetic algorithms_. However, this approach has proven much less effective than artificial neural networks. We've been playing with artificial neural networks on computers [since the 1950s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptron), and once we scaled up those artificial neural networks with large enough training sets and a large enough set of parameters, and we hit upon effective architectures, we achieved qualitatively different results.\n\nIn the late 90's before we created BigCharts and got a successful company up and running around market data visualization we had a very different product called The Conductor. That original product was Philip Hotchkiss first vision of informing trading models using neural nets and genetic algorithms. In modern terms the dozen or so computers we had (no GPUs!) using these advanced methods is almost comical. But the actions we were taking were advanced. Genetic algorithms would compete for superiority. Neural nets would predict future market behaviors. We graded them. We would find a \"model\" that did really well and promote it. Several weeks later that same model had become less effective and possibly overtrained itself so we would delete it. At that scale, dozens of cores of compute, not enough data to train on to care, it was all fairly simple but even at that level we had no idea \"why\" one model did better than the other. We only judged them on the outputs.\n\nBut it turns out that if you scale the crap out of this it is different. Increase by dozens of orders of magnitude the data set, the compute, the storage — you get a very different thing on the other end. And that same challenge of not really knowing what is going on at the core is still there too. Why does this model work better than the other? Shrug.\n\nI’m far out of my skis on this topic. It is notable to me that extreme scale can result in just something very different. Don't brains have the same thing in the extreme? Increase the number of neurons by several orders of magnitude and at some point you get different outcomes? We don't really know, but I agree with the author that this stuff is \"weird\", and it is also rather amazing. \n","saved":"2025-05-30T03:33:39Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3acb6cc43328598e5aec4246b90c12a3","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/789683250309/","kind":"page"},

You hear a lot of variety in feedback on how well LLMs work in contributing to code. What we don't hear enough about are what the conditions of that code are. Do they have good tests? Is it a spaghetti mess? In the early days of LLM's doing code I shared with many friends that coding is in some ways a much easier task than writing generic text. Why? Well in a way you are playing a game with the compiler or interpreter. There is another piece of software that will tell you if you are right (compiles) or wrong (wont compile). So the LLM can play that game at machine-speed to get to something that compiles. However, every developer will tell you that is interesting but means nothing. Just because it compiles doesn't mean it can do the thing you want. What does that? Automated tests and focusing on test-first development. It follows from the first example that tests would then give the LLM another \"boss battle\" to work through to get to a valid outcome. \n\nAll of this is to simply say that as Agentic coding becomes more common we will not just change a lot of tooling for how code is created but we will also likely change the process by which we come to understand what it is that we are building. In fact, if we don't assess that process as a whole we are almost certainly getting a suboptimal solution.\n\nPS: Doing better at this would also help all developers. Test first development, similar to pair programming, is generally a known \"good thing\" but it is hard and many organizations find it slow in the beginning and they bale on it.

I signed up on the waiting list and even filled their survey out. There is a lot of enthusiasm about this app because it is from the authors of Workflow, which Apple acquired and renamed Shortcuts, and which I use every single day and is the primary tool I use to [build the Weekly Thing](https://www.thingelstad.com/2023/09/24/how-i-build.html).\n\nViticci's writeup here is based on using the beta version of their product and he is glowing of it. Viticci is notably also an extraordinary power-user of Shortcuts. His admiration for the past success may give some positive bias, but he is also a shrewd user of automation technology. \n\n> What sets Sky apart from anything I’ve tried or seen on macOS to date is that it uses LLMs to understand which windows are open on your Mac, what’s inside them, and what actions you can perform based on those apps’ contents. It’s a lofty goal and, at a high level, it’s predicated upon two core concepts. First, Sky comes with a collection of built-in “tools” for Calendar, Messages, Notes, web browsing, Finder, email, and screenshots, which allow anyone to get started and ask questions that perform actions with those apps. If you want to turn a webpage shown in Safari into an event in your calendar, or perhaps a document in Apple Notes, you can just ask in natural language out of the box.\n\nFrom that description I would describe Sky as an Agent platform that runs on your Mac to accomplish many different tasks. The agent part is a huge deal and follows the structure of more advanced AI solutions.\n\nI think many Apple users may wonder if Sky is the app that Apple will buy to replace the woefully challenged Siri. \n\n> I think there is, and after using Sky for two weeks, I'll be honest: I wouldn't be surprised to hear that OpenAI or Apple would be interested in acquiring this company. Apple could use this team ([again](https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/29/23981802/software-applications-inc-workflow-shortcuts-apple-employees-startup)) to get an LLM-infused tool that works with apps before the [two years](https://www.theverge.com/news/622465/siris-real-ai-upgrade-could-still-be-years-away) it'll likely take them to ship a Siri LLM with comparable features -- and I'm sure Sky would work even better if it had access to more private APIs on macOS.\n\nI’m looking forward to getting my hands on this.","saved":"2025-05-30T02:44:59Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"cdb3dbf9655952f17bb1c5eac2f58336","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/cbb115d94ff5/","kind":"page"},

Here Heelan uses it to see how well it can find very difficult Linux kernel bugs. I love how he uses multiple iterations and does a sort of Monte Carlo run. And wild that it finds it in some, but very few iterations. \n\n> o3 finds the kerberos authentication vulnerability in the benchmark in 8 of the 100 runs. In another 66 of the runs o3 concludes there is no bug present in the code (false negatives), and the remaining 28 reports are false positives. For comparison, Claude Sonnet 3.7 finds it 3 out of 100 runs and Claude Sonnet 3.5 does not find it in 100 runs._ _So on this benchmark at least we have a 2x-3x improvement in o3 over Claude Sonnet 3.7.\n\nAnd in the resolution? His initial remediation wasn't sufficient and o3 helped identify that in a small subset of runs.\n\n> Having realised this, I went again through o3's results from searching for the kerberos authentication vulnerability and noticed that in some of its reports it had made the same error as me, in others it had not, and it had realised that setting `sess->user = NULL`was insufficient to fix the issue due to the possibilities offered by session binding. That is quite cool as it means that had I used o3 to find and fix the original vulnerability I would have, in theory, done a better job than without it. I say 'in theory' because right now the false positive to true positive ratio is probably too high to definitely say I would have gone through each report from o3 with the diligence required to spot its solution. Still, that ratio is only going to get better.\n\nThis shows there is clear value here and honestly I think if you showed the original code to 100 engineers I would be surprised if even 8 of them found the issue. \n","saved":"2025-05-30T02:42:28Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"81f35930100345b985bb0dfda8cf5fd1","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d947ec1f60ee/","kind":"page"},

I think in part there is an almost \"magician\" aspect to the act of writing software. All the funky syntax, specialized tools and such. To a non-technical person it really does look like magic. But to people experienced in the craft it is the realization of a lot of other inputs. Reading Ayre's essay he uses an example project that he was involved in to show how small the coding part really is. There is a lot of truth to this. People love the \"build a house metaphors\" with software, even though I think it is fundamentally flawed (your house doesn't move for instance), but to pull from it the coding is probably a bit like just looking at the framing and drywall going up. That isn't a house unless you do all the other stuff.\n\nThere are a lot of metaphors for software. One I use often is that software isn't even an asset, but is instead a liability. There is a solution that needs to exist, and that solution is understood through careful understanding of the problem, designing a great answer, and then at some point it becomes instantiated in code. Now we have a problem since that code will have issues (there is no perfect code) and will have to be iterated over time. Plus, this solution will likely evolve and the code will have to reflect that. \n\nIn this model I would suggest the code is actually a liability. The asset that we have is the design thinking, solutioning, domain understanding that went into it. As long as we have that asset we can modify the code, the liability, to continue to evolve. Less code? Less liability. \n\nThe backdrop to Ayre's post and my own commentary is the role that AI is increasingly playing in coding. The code part is a small but critical part of the solution. And as Ayre and others have pointed out, the limit there is time and AI enhanced development tools are going to help people in this craft to do more with the time we have.","saved":"2025-05-23T02:56:23Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"da6f87965d1afc939a4baeb3a487e562","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/67688073167c/","kind":"page"},

The short answer by the way is it is super complicated because every task is unique, and the required GPU capabilities to serve them are all unique. \n\nPowering data centers is a huge amount of energy overall. Not just for AI, but for everything. In 2014, 1.8% of all power was used by data centers and it could be 6-12% by 2028. Some of this is AI, some is crypto, some is cat pictures, some is that killer Instagram post. It is a lot of power.\n\nData centers are also amenable to variable power as they have variable load. Overall a smart grid working in concert with smart datacenter can be very dynamic. And, for all that electricity there is a lot of value created.\n\nWe need to understand and manage these loads, but I don't agree with calls that electricity usage are reasons to stop or limit AI use. I also didn’t agree with that as an argument against Bitcoin and crypto. \n\nSimon Willison did a [great writeup on this article](https://simonwillison.net/2025/May/20/ai-energy-footprint/) too.

Ethan Sholly knows why. - Ars Technica","note":"As you might expect I do some self-hosting myself, but you also may be surprised that I do a lot less of it than people may think. Why? In the short term this stuff is not that hard, and even fun for folks like me, but the long term support is where challenges come into play. Right now I have two Synology NAS devices that each have 16TB of storage and mirror each other. They are both 9 years old and need to be replaced. I’m so not looking forward to the cost of the replacement, but even more I’m not looking forward to migrating 10TB of data from the old devices to the new, managing the synchronization settings across the devices, and insuring I did it all right! \n\nThe reasons to self-host are real and chief amongst them for me is privacy. I dislike the fact that everytime I stream anything I know that multiple companies know that, and even more they know where I started and stopped, and that we paused at that point, for 3 minutes, and then resumed. It is just damn creepy. At our cabin we have a record player and more often than makes sense I think to myself when playing a record how novel it is that no company, no algorithm, no system knows that we are listening to the Foo Fighters right now. It fills me with joy actually.\n\nWhy can’t we have the benefits without the surveillance? The lack of privacy laws. We have nothing. No protections at all. So we are in a terrible bargain of complete surveillance or you have to replace the 16TB of hard drives and deal with all those challenges.\n\nThis is unacceptable.\n\nSo for me I have to pick my battles. Mostly I hope to pay for cloud services and the money removes the surveillance. But many times it does not.\n\nSelf-hosting should exist and is good for some folks, but it shouldn't be the only way for us to have privacy.

A recent model from OpenAI was overly praising — and for those that have used AI a lot you may be thinking they already do a pretty decent job of making you feel smarter and better than you probably are. This excerpt from Willison caught my eye.\n\n> Here's yet more evidence that the entire AI industry runs on \"vibes\":\n> \n> > In addition to formal evaluations, internal experts spend significant time interacting with each new model before launch. We informally call these \"vibe checks\"--a kind of human sanity check to catch issues that automated evals or A/B tests might miss.\n\nThis tickles a bit of unknown that bothers me in these LLM's and also bothered me with Neural Nets in general — they are black boxes to everyone. Nobody really knows what happens inside. So how do you train them — with \"vibe checks\"? Sounds a lot like how we dealt with way smaller models. \n\nOn one hand I can get comfortable with this. Neuroscientists don't specifically understand how our brains work after all, and we don't discount all input from our brain because of that. Mystery at the center of it all may be just fine.\n\nHowever it does put in stark contrast a need for determinism. In computing we have many things that fundamentally need to be deterministic. We need to be mindful of the problem we are solving, and insure that an open approach, where we fundamentally don't know the \"why\" of any of it, is okay.\n","saved":"2025-05-06T02:19:26Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e0cec8e03c94c6d8028cc78772eb239b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/072f04967148/","kind":"page"},

When [I did Texas Hellweek in 2001](https://www.thingelstad.com/collections/texas-hellweek-2001/) I rode with several people that were training for the [Race Across America](https://www.raamrace.org). Personally I'd want to do such an effort on a supported trip with a rest day a week. This post is great with very specific discussion on how he approached and completed this. \n\n> What's more important than any physical preparation is the willpower to get the trip done. There will be hard moments on the trail - I found myself crying on the side of the road more than once. No amount of training could have prepared me for the daily struggle of simply getting up and making progress.\n\nIn his \"Joys of the Journey\" I loved this callout.\n\n> Never have I felt more connected to, or grateful for, natural wonders than during this ride.\n\nAnd this was suprising and amazing to me.\n\n> Another memorable aspect of riding along the TransAmerica trail was showing up to restaurants/rest stops in small towns that regularly see cyclists. In one such restaurant in Sugar City, Colorado, the owner took a quick look at me as I walked in before saying “I have something for you” and disappearing into a corner. She came back with a spiral notebook and told me to take a look. Inside were log book entries dating back years - every cross-country cyclist who'd passed through had taken time during their meal to write a personalized note. Some wrote little else but the date and the direction they were headed. Others wrote paragraphs of gratitude for the delicious meal they’d been served or diatribes on the struggles they’d endured to make it to this point. As I continued to head east from Sugar City, I found that these log books were not a rare occurrence, nearly every spot on my ACA map had something similar. The books, of all things, were what made me feel most connected to something bigger than myself during the ride.\n\nGreat stuff. 🚴","saved":"2025-04-17T07:20:37Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"abbe895317f2f5d0b5b0f357892f995b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/259eaf5564c2/","kind":"page"},

The stories of the IMP, Interface Message Processors, and their 24kb of memory are delightful. I love the paper sketch in this article showing the first four IMPs connected. \n\nThe real unlock here though is around the development of TCP/IP. If there is one thing that unlocked the magic, it was that. And it is a damn shame that everyone knows who Mark Zuckerberg is but not many can tell you who [Vint Cerf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vint_Cerf) is.\n\n> Robert Kahn asked Vint Cerf to try and fix these problems once and for all. They came up with a new plan called the [Transmission Control Protocol](https://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/fall06/cos561/papers/cerf74.pdf), or TCP. The idea was to connect different networks through specialized computers, called \"gateways,\" that translated and forwarded packets. TCP was like an envelope for packets, making sure they got to the right destination on the correct network. Because some networks were not guaranteed to be reliable, when one computer successfully received a complete and undamaged message, it would send an acknowledgement (ACK) back to the sender. If the ACK wasn't received in a certain amount of time, the message was retransmitted.\n> \n> In December 1974, Cerf, Yogen Dalal, and Carl Sunshine wrote a complete [specification](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc675) for TCP. Two years later, Cerf and Kahn, along with a dozen others, demonstrated the first three-network system. The demo connected packet radio, the ARPANET, and SATNET, all using TCP. Afterward, Cerf, Jon Postel, and Danny Cohen suggested a small but important change: They should take out all the routing information and put it into a new protocol, called the Internet Protocol (IP). All the remaining stuff, like breaking and reassembling messages, detecting errors, and retransmission, would stay in TCP. Thus, in 1978, the protocol officially became known as, and was forever thereafter, TCP/IP.\n\nEvery message ever sent on the web is done with TCP/IP. More than nearly anything else, it is the defining protocol of the Internet that is everywhere today.

All transactions are known to everyone always. Privacy on blockchains is, right now, not existent. Here Vitalik Buterin shares his views on why privacy is important.\n\n> At this time, it's worth stepping back and reviewing the question: **why do we want privacy in the first place**? Each person's answer will be different. In this post I will give my own, which I will break down into three parts:\n> \n> - **Privacy is freedom**: privacy gives us space to live our lives in the ways that meet our needs, without constantly worrying about how our actions will be perceived in all kinds of political and social games\n> - **Privacy is order**: a whole bunch of mechanisms that underlie the basic functioning of society depend on privacy in order to function\n> - **Privacy is progress**: if we gain new ways to share our information selectively while protecting it from being misused, we can unlock a lot of value and accelerate technological and social progress\n\nYou could shorten this all to one simple statement: **because it is the right thing to do.** \n","saved":"2025-04-17T07:19:29Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"75be0480585f43c068872767b021b679","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/54c2c60e79a0/","kind":"page"},

If you go on a long vacation you might find everything has changed. The downsides of this are real. Product teams spend a lot of time moving from one to another. \n\n> If your product is still around in 5 years, you're doing great and you should feel successful. But guess what? Whatever framework you choose will be obsolete in 5 years. That's just how the frontend community has been operating, and I don't expect it to change soon. Even the popular frameworks that are still around are completely different. Because change is the name of the game. So they're gonna rewrite their shit too and just give it a new version number.\n> \n> Product teams that are smart are getting off the treadmill. Whatever framework you currently have, start investing in getting to know it deeply. Learn the tools until they are not an impediment to your progress. That's the only option. Replacing it with a shiny new tool is a trap.\n\nI've had my own teams spend a lot of time migrating from X to Y. There is always a good reason to make these changes. They improve something. But you also know you’re never really done.\n\nThe article makes a good point that the learnings here are too abstracted up the stack. As a developer it encourages that you work closer to the browser itself. Use less abstraction. I guess that means you would also own more of the stack? That is also a tough tradeoff.\n\nAs a CTO, I might actually just pick the middle. Use a simple framework. Knowingly plan to use it well past its market \"cool factor\" is over. Five or six years. Wait until the product needs evolve to the point where you need to reconsider the front end experience, and use that change event to jump forward.

I switched to them when Neeva went out of business. Before that I used DuckDuckGo. Using a paid search platform, for me, just feels so much better. I trust the results and don't get tons of \"promoted\" links thrown at me. Search, like email, is now in my category of things I believe you should pay for.\n\nThis article from Kagi is thoughtful and an interesting take on thinking about Google's monopoly, and how it could be addressed. The idea of opening up the search index is incredible to me.\n\n> The Search Index is the core engine that drives the search flow and generates results pertinent to the user. If we want different search products (the search page) to flourish and different business models for search products to flourish, we should consider separating the Search Index from the other two indexes and make the Search Index available to competitors. This will drive enormous innovation and free competitors to pursue different business models. The innovation on presenting results to users can center around different ranking criteria, different business models, and different user controls on the data they see.\n> \n> Since search is a critical but essential resource for all users, the solution that can be considered is allowing fair access to the Search Index or take it a step further into known precedents, consider treating the Search Index as an \"Essential Facility\".\n\nI also love that this approach could have an end too. If Google's share dropped to some level, perhaps they don't need to share this? Or maybe any search company with greater than a certain market share is required to make their search index accessible.\n\nIt is our data after all. They do the work of storing it and indexing it. But having it available for others to build off of would create so much innovation. When was the last time Google truly innovated in search? \n\nAlso see [Kagi is a better search engine than Google — but it costs $10 a month](https://www.theverge.com/web/631636/kagi-review-best-search-engine).","saved":"2025-03-23T18:09:30Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7fbf91ae9a83e2d590149308078b0530","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c72a3307db1d/","kind":"page"},

In reality you have many disciplines involved to creating a great product, and this dives into three of those: product manager, designer, and engineer. I've seen and experienced every one of the scenarios described. The scenario around \"designer island\" literally made me laugh out loud in the \"yeah, I've seen that one too\" kind of way. The punchline of the engineer scenario is the most damning.\n\n> Extend this passive-aggressive product-hostile situation over a few years, and our bright and eager Engineer becomes the Disconnected Engineer. The human accountable **for building the product with their hands** exists as a semi-motivated engineer who is grabbing bullets as they come over the fence and combining them with misaligned and misinformed design from the island, which results in strangely constructed features that… work. I mean, they look like features, but when I asked this engineer why she chose this approach, she said the thing that crushed my soul, \"They told me to do it this way.\"\n> \n> Unacceptable.\n\nIf the people writing the actual code don't understand the problem they are helping the customer solve you can’t possibly build a great solution. This is super critical in B2C software, but in B2B software companies ignore it to their peril. It matters everywhere. \n\nThe conclusion of this is to embrace a more meaningful way of thinking about product builder.\n\n> A Product Engineer:\n> \n> - Uses the product every day and reports bugs aggressively when they find them.\n> - Intimately knows how the products work and can explain any feature or inner workings to anyone. When they find a gap in their knowledge, they fill it.\n> - Have a deep understanding of how users perceive their features and how their changes would affect their perception. They can wear the customer mindset.\n> - Remember the debates around the most complex decisions and why we chose this path.\n> - Have living breathing code in the product -- right now.\n> - Can effectively argue with anyone on the team regarding the product. Will defer to their team members when the argument is sound, but they will continue to argue until there is product clarity.\n> - Communicates well in every direction because they've developed professional relationships in all those directions.\n> - Are aggressively curious and willing to learn anything relevant to the design and development of the product, especially when it's outside of their area of expertise.\n> \n> A Product Engineer is accountable for the product.\n\nThis is a good approach, but I think it would fail at some level of scale. And in the B2B world it can be difficult to impossible to be using your product everyday. But the intentions here are right, and figuring out how you bring this \"one team\" feel to all the disciplines involved in a product is key. \n\nIt all circles back to shared goals, and one of my favorite metaphors drives this home. What is the objective of the goalie on a soccer team? Nearly everyone will say to stop the ball from getting in the net. Wrong. The objective is to win the game.\n\nThe objective of everyone building a product needs to be to create a great product.\n","saved":"2025-03-20T12:25:43Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"36479e6a1334341dc1a62310fb8daf87","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d174bccb3eaa/","kind":"page"},

It reminded me of a similar impact of Protestantism highlighted in [The WEIRDest People in the World](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_WEIRDest_People_in_the_World) (one of my absolutely favorite books!) where practitioners of the faith are called to directly read the Bible, which resulted in a huge spike in literacy which also resulted in other pursuits of learning.\n\nThe article also comments on the impact of reading less on culture…\n\n> Today, we find ourselves in precisely the cultural crisis that Woolf, White, and Sontag anticipated--not a world without books, but a world where fragmented attention and superficial engagement have eroded the foundations of shared meaning and cultural coherence.\n> \n> The definition of \"culture\" is as [liquid](https://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Modernity-Zygmunt-Bauman/dp/0745624103) as the phenomenon it seeks to describe. In _Princes and Powers_, James Baldwin observes that only a culture in crisis would ask for a definition of \"culture.\"\n> \n> We are a culture in crisis. We lack, as Byung-Chul Han articulates in _The Disappearance of Rituals_, the structures and forms that make meaning possible, leading to cultural fragmentation. The result is a sense of civilisational ADHD. A generational restlessness, inattentiveness, and excessive movement in no direction, with insight elusive and ephemeral.\n\nThat saying \"excessive movement in no direction\" is impactful. And the article suggests it really is in the pursuit of an answer to a question, not just any reading.\n\n> For some, the compulsion to read manifests as a productivity hack, or as the passive consumption of viral self-help books and novels. These readers treat reading not as a tool to discern the reality around them, but as an obligation to signal productive virtue or as mere entertainment, no different from a reality TV show.\n\nI like that the article frames an approach to this. \n\n1. Cultivate Curiosity\n2. Develop a Question\n3. Gather Evidence\n4. Develop an Answer\n5. Community of Knowledge\n\n> What distinguishes research as leisure from idle browsing is precisely this movement toward creation. However modest, your answer must contribute to the conversation rather than merely consuming or repeating what others have said.\n\nI'd like to think this is a small component of what I’m doing in these emails. \n\nWhat is the question you are asking?\n","saved":"2025-03-20T12:25:38Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"54b195e6e4dea1db4db34f467af7b6b2","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/fc79a9f68617/","kind":"page"},

The fiasco is that Apple pitched a story that wasn't true, one that _some_ people within the company surely understood wasn't true, and they set a course based on that.\n\nAt the end he calls back to Steve Jobs, the savior figure of Apple, interrogating (that is the right term) the engineers that built MobileMe (which was bad!):\n\n> > Steve Jobs doesn't tolerate duds. Shortly after the launch event, he summoned the MobileMe team, gathering them in the Town Hall auditorium in Building 4 of Apple's campus, the venue the company uses for intimate product unveilings for journalists. According to a participant in the meeting, Jobs walked in, clad in his trademark black mock turtleneck and blue jeans, clasped his hands together, and asked a simple question:\n> > \n> > \"Can anyone tell me what MobileMe is supposed to do?\" Having received a satisfactory answer, he continued, \"So why the fuck doesn't it do that?\"\n> > \n> > For the next half-hour Jobs berated the group. \"You've tarnished Apple's reputation,\" he told them. \"You should hate each other for having let each other down.\" The public humiliation particularly infuriated Jobs. Walt Mossberg, the influential Wall Street Journal gadget columnist, had panned MobileMe. \"Mossberg, our friend, is no longer writing good things about us,\" Jobs said. On the spot, Jobs named a new executive to run the group.\n> \n> Tim Cook should have already held a meeting like that to address and rectify this Siri and Apple Intelligence debacle. If such a meeting hasn't yet occurred or doesn't happen soon, then, I fear, that's all she wrote. The ride is over.\n\nIt is time for the often joked about Siri issues to get addressed.\n \n","saved":"2025-03-14T01:31:13Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e606abd6e8ae3287a292b8e36eecffde","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/dd1dc981bccc/","kind":"page"},

He pulls from Simon Willison with a guess on what is proving so hard.\n\n> We intuitively get why _code_ injections are bad news; LLMs expand the attack surface to text generally; Apple Intelligence, by being deeply interwoven into the system, expands the attack surface to your entire device, and all of that precious content it has unique access to.\n\nHe juxtaposes that, though, with this week’s Apple Silicon announcement, which is incredibly impressive.\n\n> What that means in practical terms is that Apple just shipped the best consumer-grade AI computer ever. A Mac Studio with an M3 Ultra chip and 512GB RAM can run a 4-bit quantized version of DeepSeek R1 -- a state-of-the-art open-source reasoning model -- right on your desktop.\n\nThe hardware is there but the software isn't. David Heinemeier Hansson suggests that [Apple is making the mistake Microsoft did with the Internet](https://world.hey.com/dhh/apple-does-ai-as-microsoft-did-mobile-df2c98ca). It is possible. Siri is such a sore spot for Apple and they haven't done enough to address it. Now the intersection of Apple Intelligence delays and the incredible amount of marketing they put in front of this is frankly embarrassing for them.

There are only two truly neutral ways to do that—sorting by date and time or randomizing. This post highlights the greater concern I have over us giving an algorithm control over what we read.\n\n> With the power to shape what we see comes the power to shape what we believe. Whether through deliberate manipulation or the slow creep of algorithmic recommendations, engagement is fueled by outrage, and outrage breeds extremism. The result is a feedback loop that isolates users, reinforces beliefs, and deprioritises opposing viewpoints.\n\nI wish I had a simple way to convince people to step out of these algorithms. The challenge is that the mental rewards circuits work so very well. Something I've been noodling on recently is assessing the **value of our attention**. It is interesting to me that when we exchange money for a product we tend to be at least a bit considerate of the trade-off. Sure marketing can sway us, but we are at least aware that we are giving $10 in return for a thing. \n\nWe need to do the same thing with our attention. You are giving this finite resource away, and what are you getting back? And do you want that? \n\nIn effect this is happening today and we know the tradeoff. Many are giving their attention to the algorithm at Instagram and they are getting back a vibe that they like. And that is probably fine for a little bit of your attention. But there should be a budget right? And the attention that you are giving to X, is that the vibe you like? Or is it something else?\n\nWhat is the return you are getting on the attention you give algorithms?

This post is a great recap of what he has learned about using an LLM to help him write code. \n\n> Using LLMs to write code is **difficult** and **unintuitive**. It takes significant effort to figure out the sharp and soft edges of using them in this way, and there's precious little guidance to help people figure out how best to apply them.\n> \n> If someone tells you that coding with LLMs is _easy_ they are (probably unintentionally) misleading you. They may well have stumbled on to patterns that work, but those patterns do not come naturally to everyone.\n\nWillison’s comment near the end is great.\n\n> I'm certain it would have taken me significantly longer without LLM assistance--to the point that I probably wouldn't have bothered to build it at all.\n> \n> _This_ is why I care so much about the productivity boost I get from LLMs so much: it's not about getting work done faster, it's about being able to ship projects that I wouldn't have been able to justify spending time on at all.\n\nWe still have a lot of folks saying that computers are just going to code themselves with LLMs. Informed opinions are more aligned with Willison's.

The culture of your technology team gets driven in a big way from stuff like this. I did like the difference Stanier makes with \"in the code\" and \"write code\".\n\n> Should managers be _in_ the code? Yes, absolutely.\n> \n> Should managers _write_ code? Maybe, but it also depends on what you mean by writing code.\n\nThe article has a list of \"in the code\" statements that make a lot of sense to me. Critical in this is a scenario I think is very important — if a leader (at any level!) in a technology team praises the solution to a problem, they better have the means to know if it is praiseworthy as a solution. If a manager isn't \"in the code\" how could they possibly determine the quality of their team's work? \n\nI think they can be able to write code, but I always highlight that it stops at taking sprint points. A manager should not be pulling stories out of the backlog and executing. At that point they are not adding a multiplier to their team, and not doing what they need to be doing.\n\nI will also comment that managers writing code can be a red flag, a reason for serious concern. For many managers writing code is fun, and dealing with a personnel matter is **not fun**. As an engineering manager make sure your not resorting to coding because it is comfortable, and you are leaving a much more impactful problem unresolved.\n","saved":"2025-03-07T02:54:22Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"fa2cc7326330659a25c0d670c4f73300","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e6cac3b21499/","kind":"newsletter"},

Every engineer we knew was willing to help us. We got resources that would never have been available to us had we been on the payroll. For example, at that time only about two hundred PowerPC chips existed in the world. Most of those at Apple were being used by the hardware design engineers. Only a few dozen coveted PowerPC machines were even available in System Software for people working on the operating system. We had two. Engineers would come to our offices at midnight and practically slip machines under the door. One said, \"Officially, this machine doesn't exist, you didn't get it from me, and I don't know you. Make sure it doesn't leave the building.\"\n\nSo great. What a wild set of stories.

And when it does you jump in and start **troubleshooting**. Historically the great troubleshooters in technology teams were your ops teams, but these days everyone needs troubleshooting skills. I often have heard grizzled vets in tech shake their heads when seeing more junior engineers troubleshoot. It is a skill that is often learned in the crucible of a problem. It is mostly taught through apprentice-like functions. This post does a good job of breaking down the components.\n\n> I'll define troubleshooting as **systematically determining the cause of unwanted behaviour in a system, and fixing it**.\n> \n> Troubleshooting is often learned tacitly, in the process of explicitly learning \"the skill\". Troubleshooting is rarely discussed as a _skill unto itself_. But many features of an effective approach to troubleshooting are domain-agnostic.\n> \n> Realizing that I spend more time _troubleshooting_ than I do _building_ or _doing_, and that the skill of troubleshooting can be honed separately from the domain it's applied to, I decided to try to figure out how to improve my troubleshooting skills -- and as a result, my effectiveness in multiple domains.\n\nLearning troubleshooting as a skill, a discipline that you can refine over time, will benefit anyone working in technology.

I could find no credible reporting on that even being considered and instead found nearly unanimous statements in Ethereum community that that would not be done.\n\nI keep having a thought regarding crypto theft like this — **some of the security we experience with money is a result of inefficiency and bureaucracy**. Sure banks have security programs and those do a lot, but there is also just the fact that it is slow to send money from one place to another with fiat. And that slowness allows time for things to be caught. If you can send any amount of funds instantly there is no time. And that bureaucracy that many like to rail against? That also requires a bunch of signatures and other blocks that can deter theft.\n\nOperational security of crypto assets, beyond the tech itself, may need to show up as **adding inefficiency and bureaucracy** to the system.\n","saved":"2025-02-28T01:43:33Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"de5c85c008c4988b7683a94dfbb5e63e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/41454e3afe8f/","kind":"page"},

A friend sent this over to me knowing I’m an 8Sleep customer. I love/hate the product. It for sure brings incredible comfort and improvement to my sleep, and it also gives me the best sleep data I've ever had. However, I also suspect (know?) that it is a privacy disaster and now we see that they have access points into the devices in glaringly bad ways. \n\n> What goes too far in my opinion, is allowing all of Eight Sleep’s engineers to remotely SSH into every customer’s bed and run arbitrary code that bypasses all forms of formal code review process.\n> \n> And yes, I found evidence that this is exactly what’s happening.\n\nSo based on this articles finding we must assume that any engineer at 8Sleep can know a lot of things.\n\n> What Can They Do with This Access?  \n>   \n> Let's start with the basics: \n> \n> - They can know when you sleep\n> - They can detect when there are 2 people sleeping in the bed instead of 1\n> - They can know when it's night, and no people are in the bed\n\nI've got some personal experience here. Our first 8Sleep mattress pad malfunctioned at one point so I had to contact support. I never had to call or anything, simply notified them via the app. I got a response a couple days later that a specific sensor in our mattress had malfunctioned. How did they do that? I’m sure that an engineer connected to our unit and ran a diagnostic. \n\nNow that fundamentally isn't a bad thing, but how that person got access, how long they had it, and what controls were over that access are completely unknowable to me. Until this article where now I know there is some group of folks at 8Sleep with an SSH key that gives them 'God mode' access to my bed, and from there access to any devices on our home network. \n\nWhat is the solve? Privacy protection is for sure part of this. Also companies need to reveal what access they have and how it is protected. However, I’m also going to pursue other solutions. I think I should be able to configure my Unifi network so that the 8Sleep is segmented from the rest of my network and cannot connect to other devices. I would do the same for the Peloton devices and our Tesla cars.

For UK users not already using ADP, the ability to enable it was already turned off before Apple's statement was sent. [This report from BBC News](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgj54eq4vejo) has [a screenshot](https://daringfireball.net/misc/2025/02/uk-adp-screenshot.jpeg) of what UK users see if they attempt to enable it today.\n> \n> […] On issues pertaining to security and privacy, Apple always explains its policies and features as best it can. The fact that Apple has offered no hint as to why they're doing this is a [canary statement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_canary)of sorts: they're making clear as best they can that they're under a legal gag order that prevents them from even acknowledging that they're under a legal gag order, by not telling us why they're no longer able to offer ADP in the UK. This sort of read-between-the-lines implicit confirmation that they're under a gag order is the only sort of confirmation they can legally offer, at risk of imprisonment.\n\nReminder that it wasn't that long ago that the US Government and FBI were suing Apple to break encryption and install backdoors as well. \n\nTo reiterate my position on privacy and encryption vis-a-vis Apple. I don't have saintly belief that Apple is mission driven on this per se. I believe they have identified Health as one of their giant markets and they believe that you cannot be successful there unless you have a strong position on privacy and encryption. I believe that Apple looks at requests to compromise on these features as a loss against an entire giant market they believe has a ton of revenue for them.

In fact I can go a week or two without even putting it on. However, when I do take some time to put it on and explore I always have fun. It is enjoyable. And there is a steady drip of new things. This article suggests that a future Glasses product from Apple will be crazy good, and it highlights a way of thinking about where we are that I think is spot on.\n\nFor augmented reality to work we need two things: great hardware that really cannot exist yet, and great software paradigms for this new computing model. There are companies working on the first, and then there is only Apple working on the second. It is entirely possible that Apple fully considers the Vision Pro of today to be nothing other than a platform to learn how to build Spatial Computing. And that someday in the future a lightweight and reliable Glasses product will become possible, and then magically you have both the things you need.\n\nThe iPhone and Apple Watch didn’t have this challenge. The Apple TV didn’t either. There was more convergence in capability and for the iPhone at this point the hardware is driving faster than the software can.\n\nI also note the word of caution in this article. In the extreme these experiences could be so captivating that we lose ourselves.

Nobody ran up and asked me to hold an empty cup. I thoughtlessly bought something. Thoughtlessly consumed it, and now I have to hold onto the detritus for a little while? Great. It’s easy. Easy to embrace that modicum of responsibility for your own waste. This is my protest song, the world’s lamest: I will attend to my garbage without complaint. Maybe give it a try next time you’re in Japan? It’s very exciting — to realize you will not be killed by your garbage, that holding a Snickers’ wrapper will not drain your crypto reserves, that not having piles of everyone else’s garbage all around is quite a nice bonus when walking through a city.

Most cards are graded by [PSA](https://www.psacard.com) and when we sent our first cards in to be graded I was floored — it takes a month to get your card back, and costs $25 a card to be graded. Apparently a person does all this voodoo to determine the grading. That seemed bonkers to me with all the advanced computer vision capabilities that exist. TAG is a different take using those capabilities. You get super detailed analysis of the card via computer vision analysis and the grading is quantitative. Cheaper as well, but still not as cheap as it should be. \n\nI still think these services are missing two big things. \n\n1. They should all offer a mobile app that allows you to apply a \"light\" computer vision model using your phones camera. Give me an estimate of the grading so I have an idea before I send it in. This could easily be part of the first process of getting a card graded.\n\n2. They should be issuing an NFT for each card they grade. They all maintain a database of the cards they've graded and a link so you can see that info. But these databases could be completely open and tradable as NFTs. Plus it would be a simple add-on sale for $5 to mint an NFT to go with the grading process.\n","saved":"2025-02-19T04:13:52Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"6b6b9a098b6f825ca1f6d85696d6e41d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9d1c48894904/","kind":"page"},

I think the idea of one blockchain \"winning\" is not likely, and would likely be a bad thing. Ethereum's approach is much like the Internet itself, a network of networks. This blog post is exploring how much more scale is needed in Ethereum in order to support this vision, and in the short term doesn't making L1 gas fees super low actually discourage L2 adoption? As usual I found Buterin's analysis logical and I particularly liked the different use cases he highlights.\n\n> With today's technology (ZK-SNARKs), this is a cost of ~500,000 per L2, and so Ethereum would only be able to support 36 L2s (compare: L2beat [tracks about 150](https://l2beat.com/scaling/summary), including validiums and optimiums). But what's more important is that it is too _economically_ unviable to do this: at an [approximate long-term average gas price of 15 gwei](https://ultrasound.money/?timeFrame=since_merge#gas) and an ETH price of $2500, the cost per year of submitting is `500000 * 15 * 10**-9 * (31556926 / 12) * 2500 = $49M per year` . If we used [aggregation protocols](https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2022/09/17/layer_3.html), the cost could again drop, in the limit perhaps about 10,000 gas per submission because the aggregation mechanism is somewhat more complex than just updating a single storage slot. This would make submission cost about $1M per year per L2.\n\nSo yes, Ethereum needs to get at least another order of magnitude cheaper and faster to support this. The example of a L2 going rogue and all assets needing to be moved off of it is an interesting one. Reading this continues to make me wish that Gnosis would transition to a proper L2.\n","saved":"2025-02-19T04:13:43Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"56e9cbcf94425f1921303d2302d6b988","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a035a964eb1f/","kind":"page"},

As many realize, programming has evolved so much in the last fifty years in ways that programmers from \"back then\" would have no idea how modern programmers do there craft.\n\n> AI will not replace programmers, but it will transform their jobs. Eventually much of what programmers do today may be as obsolete (for everyone but embedded system programmers) as the old skill of debugging with an oscilloscope. Master programmer and prescient tech observer Steve Yegge observes that it is not junior and mid-level programmers who will be replaced but those who cling to the past rather than embracing the new programming tools and paradigms. Those who acquire or invent the new skills will be in high demand. Junior developers who master the tools of AI will be able to outperform senior programmers who don't. Yegge calls it \"[The Death of the Stubborn Developer](https://steve-yegge.medium.com/the-death-of-the-stubborn-developer-b5e8f78d326b).\"\n\nHe shares an interesting real world example, possibly even highlighting what could be a future specialization. \n\n> \"That last mile of taking a cool platform and a bunch of your business processes and manifesting an agent is actually pretty hard to do,\" Bret explained. \"There's a new role emerging now that we call an [agent engineer](https://sierra.ai/blog/meet-the-ai-agent-engineer), a software developer who looks a little bit like a frontend web developer. That's an archetype that's the most common in software. If you're a React developer, you can learn to make AI agents. What a wonderful way to reskill and make your skills relevant.\"\n\nAt the end of the day, programming is about solving problems and we are getting entirely new tools to build those solutions with. \n\n> \"Workflow still matters,\" Sankar argued, and the job of the programmer will be to understand what can be done by traditional software, what can be done by AI, what still needs to be done by people, and how you string things together to actually accomplish the workflow.\n\nTechnology in general requires constant reinvention. I've shared many times that to have a career in technology is to have a career in learning. You always have to be learning today the things that will drive your craft forward in the future. AI is causing an inflection point in that learning that is similar to other major changes.

What has your attention? Why?\n\n> Attention is a kind of resource: It has value, and if you can seize it, you seize that value. This has been true for a very long time. Charismatic leaders and demagogues, showmen, preachers, great salespeople, marketers, advertisers, and holy men and women who rallied disciples have all used the power of attention to accrue wealth and power. What has changed is attention's relative importance. Those who successfully extract it command fortunes, win elections, and topple regimes. The battle to control what we pay attention to at any given instant structures our inner life--who and what we listen to, how and when we are present to those we love--and our collective public lives: which pressing matters of social concern are debated and legislated, which are neglected; which deaths are loudly mourned, which are quietly forgotten. Every single aspect of human life across the broadest categories of human organization is being reoriented around the pursuit of attention. It is now the defining resource of our age.\n\nIt is worth thinking about these questions and making sure you understand the why. \n","saved":"2025-01-26T19:36:26Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"1063684b40e53e1973b68a6cfead5ba2","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3d70e6b93c32/","kind":"page"},

I was the first supporter of it and was featured in the [16th edition](https://manuelmoreale.com/pb-jamie-thingelstad). This most recent edition with [Annie Mueller](https://anniemueller.com) is a fabulous read. I liked all of it but this part about who she is really writing for really resonated with me.\n\n> I guess that's the other thing I'd do differently: I wouldn't ever worry about who's reading or not reading my blog. All expression craves an audience: that's beautiful and natural and normal and good. We want connection, not a vacuum. But when we focus on the audience, it's so easy to lose our own voice and perspective. We start tuning ourselves unconsciously to please this audience. Then we're not creating, we're performing. And we lose something really essential, the joy of creating for its own sake. And we get resentful, because we've traded something essential, something that's in our control--the process of creating and sharing--for something non-essential and out of our control. Because other people's attention and approval is always out of our control. No one owes me their attention, and certainly no one owes me their approval.

We've had an Apple Music Family subscription for a long time. In the last few months I actually decided to give Spotify a try and we added a Family subscription to that. I've also subscribed to Sonos Radio in the past. Spotify is well known for great playlists and I thought Christmas would be great for it. \n\nHowever, the more I read about Spotify the more I raise an eyebrow and think \"yuck\". Fake artists names, AI generated music, royalty free stuff slotted into your playlists. This article is an interesting read and this line hit me in a big way. Bolding added. \n\n> Instead, Spotify hit on the idea of playlists, a way of curating songs to be background music in life, just as they were in movies and commercials. Pelly quotes a former Spotify employee saying its **main competition wasn't iTunes, but silence**.\n\nThey just need to fill the silence. And the playlists are a great way to do that since you hand the steering wheel over to the algorithm and they can optimize for cost. Not as bad as handing your news to an algorithm, but still not great. \n\nAfter reading this I was thinking about recent articles I've seen about Facebook using AI agents to create completely generated content on your timeline. It dawned on me that these companies are just following the same playbook Spotify has used.\n\nThe competition isn't silence, it is solitude. And solitude is something a lot of people are sadly uncomfortable with.\n\nWill your timeline on social media be filled with generated AI content? Yes it will. They will be better than a bunch of random people (aka, your friends) at providing engaging content. \n\nBack to Spotify though, I feel like I’m in a game where they are trying to trick me at times.

I watched them all in a weekend or so. I also owned all of the Twin Peaks episodes on Laserdisc at one point, with special introductions from the Log Lady. I had actually seen Wild at Heart as a freshman before that but had no idea that was Lynch. I branched in to the Lynch universe and actually really liked his version of Dune that is often panned. I thought it was great and watched it several times. Mulholland Drive was great. I even suffered through Eraserhead once. Blue Velvet, The Elephant Man, Fire Walk With me. All of it was amazing. He was a true artist.\n\nFor me though I will always go back to Twin Peaks. That was incredible stuff.

Sadly it is a reasonable look at how all corporate governance seems to work these days. The reality is that the vast majority of shareholders are passive and voting their shares and governance is actually a chore they would rather avoid. Who wants accountability for those votes? Instead follow ISS.\n\n> The ship captain (shareholders) are asleep, and most who are smart enough to care to know to avoid the neighborhood that's Intel. Meanwhile, the board made voting recommendations yearly, and Glass Lewis and ISS went with the board. Intel's board is being run on autopilot, and that's how we got the list of supremely unqualified board members. This is an excellent example of how boards fail. No one raised their hand to stop the autopilot, and now the formerly greatest American semiconductor company is in shambles.\n\nThere are some recent good changes. We'll see if it is enough.\n\n> Things are changing fast. They just appointed two new board members, the [former CEO of ASML and the current interim CEO of Microchip](https://www.intc.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1721/intel-appoints-semiconductor-leaders-eric-meurice-and-steve), to the board. This is an excellent step in the right direction, but it's like hiring a surgeon and an oncologist after the cancer has moved to stage 4. It might be too late, but it sure is the right direction.\n\nI don't feel like this is all just an interesting story to watch. Intel is a critical US company in the space. It is hard to see how the US can continue with the strong position we've had without domestic companies like Intel. Relying on others, particularly foreign companies, for such a critical industry doesn't seem wise. We need Intel to turn around. \n","saved":"2024-12-10T01:18:47Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3199e15ccca7604eb713f8e364f8aa5a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/63f97a847364/","kind":"page"},

I found this article a good read and was helpful to differentiate between being busy and doing a lot of things versus  patterns that will result in burnout.\n\n> You feel burnout when you’ve exhausted all your internal resources, yet cannot free yourself of the nervous compulsion to go on regardless. Life becomes something that won’t stop bothering you. Among its most frequent and oppressive symptoms is chronic indecision, as though all the possibilities and choices life confronts you with cancel each other out, leaving only an irritable stasis.\n\nI've had a couple of times where I really did hit burnout. For me it showed up as really struggling with decisions. I think this point of burnout not just coming from work but also from the stuff that we willingly pull ourselves into. The constant texts, alerts, notifications, etc.\n\n> But it is not just our jobs that overwork our minds. Electronic communication and social media have come to dominate our daily lives, in a transformation that is unprecedented and whose consequences we can therefore only guess at. My consulting room hums daily with the tense expectation induced by unanswered texts and ignored status updates. Our relationships seem to require a perpetual drip-feed of electronic reassurances, and our very sense of self is defined increasingly by an unending wait for the verdicts of an innumerable and invisible crowd of virtual judges.\n\nI loved this callout. \n\n> Burnout is not simply a symptom of working too hard. It is also the body and mind crying out for an essential human need: a space free from the incessant demands and expectations of the world.\n\nA regular meditation practice can help identify those signals of your body and mind \"crying out\". \n","saved":"2024-12-09T17:57:20Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"44c8b5aac555da9f5e939d5e03cb3354","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/95b8c1283ea5/","kind":"page"},

Buterin's list hits on a lot of multichain and multiaddress capabilities which are important but I would also highlight just plain usability. \n\nMy hope is that someday we'll get the big software houses like Google and Apple to built crypto capability directly into the Wallet applications that are already on our mobile phones. The experience that these organizations have building user experiences that scale for millions of users is needed. Sadly I think that is still several years away. In the meantime, wallets like [Rainbow](https://rainbow.me) and [Family](https://family.co) are on a good path.

We couldn't last a minute on the web without DNS. \n\nThe challenge with naming things often is managing a \"name space\", which mostly you can think of as the area where duplicates are not allowed, and name resolution, meaning given a name how do I get to that thing.\n\nAs the web and Internet gets more decentralized this becomes a bigger issue. This article has a compelling approach. \n\n> A \"petname system\" is a database and a set of interfaces which use that database to bidirectionally map human readable names to cryptographically secure names. The three types of names in a petname system are:\n> \n> - **petnames**: These are set locally by a user to map local meaning to an external identifier. For example, \"Mom\", \"Uncle Bob\", and \"Pawnee Library\".\n> - **edge names**: Every entity in a petname system may act as its own namespace, providing \"paths\" to names to other entities in the system as a graph, and these provided names are called \"edge names\". For example, \"example.org\" is an edge name in \"dns ⇒ example.org\", and \"Sarah Smith\" is an edge name in \"Uncle Bob ⇒ Sarah Smith\".[1](https://files.spritely.institute/papers/petnames.html#fn.edgename-separator) We don't have to get rid of popular naming systems like DNS, but can absorb them in such a way that they are on equal footing with any other entity.\n> - **proposed names**: These are names which are introduced within a local context. For example, email permits users to specify a name on its addressing along with the email address. If you get an email that is cc'ed to `Ben Bitdiddle <ben@example.org>`, \"Ben Bitdiddle\" would be the proposed name.\n>     - **self-proposed names** In some applications, such as in social network software, it is possible to retrieve an entity's profile to see how that entity would like itself to be referred to. We call this a self-proposed name.\n\nI love the idea of having different name spaces, some shared and some not. \n","saved":"2024-11-27T22:38:43Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2dd4c046cbb0f994f010d3231deef345","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9402c957271b/","kind":"page"},

I remember two things about that class very distinctly. \n\nThe first was Dr. Carlis asking the class to raise your hand if you knew one or more programming languages. Everyone raised their hand, it was a computer science class after all. He went on to two, three, four. Gradually people lowered their hands. He got to five and I had my hand up along with a handful of other students. I was beaming inside — proud to be at such a level. Then Dr. Carlis informed us that we with our hands up were going to have the hardest time in this class because Scheme was so different than the procedural languages we were familiar with.\n\nThe second thing I remember is Dr. Carlis holding the book fro the class up. It had a purple cover and was titled _Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs_. There was a Lambda symbol on the cover. Dr. Carlis then shared that if he were stuck on a desert island and could only have one programming book for the rest of his life, it would be this one. \n\nSo it didn’t surprise me to see that this article was referencing that very same book.

As a profession software development has progressed and matured in amazing ways for scaling, reusability, velocity, durability. But when you get to the art of setting a schedule as an industry we still struggle — a lot.\n\nI have two theories for why this is:\n\n1. **Software moves.** Software is interactive and dynamic. It responds to the environment around it (other software and the user) and as a result the edges of the software are really hard to determine. Where you interact with the user and other systems there are an unknown number of edge cases and decencies that will come to play. \n2. **Creative endeavor.** Creating software is fundamentally a creative endeavor. It is closer to making a painting or a piece of music than it is to building a house or making a widget. It is more craft than manufacture.\n\n> So, instead, you should take a forecasting approach that follows the uncertainty curve that we outlined above. You start wide, and you taper in. At the beginning of a given project, you might even just have the year that you're aiming to ship. Then, as you progress, you can start to narrow it down to a quarter, then a month, and finally a specific date.\n\nThis forecasting model is the right way to do it. You do have more visibility on the things right in front of you. As things get further out there is more variability. I think this can show up in roadmaps as having three buckets of things:\n\n- What your doing now\n- What is next\n- What possibilities are in the future.\n\nIt is worth remembering this craft is still very young. We've only been doing it for a few decades. \n","saved":"2024-11-17T03:03:58Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"8f7adaaf84204a4395e1d0787ebf990b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d93a0a55464a/","kind":"page"},

The whole read is interesting. I liked his conclusion that is based on what he sees LLMs best at right now.\n\n> So then, what can I do with LLMs? A list is apt because LLMs love lists:\n> \n> - Proofreading has been most useful for me. I give it a document such as an email or this article (~8,000 tokens), tell it to look over grammar, call out passive voice, and so on, and suggest changes. I accept or reject its suggestions and move on. Most suggestions will be poor, and this very article was long enough that even ~70B models suggested changes to hallucinated sentences. Regardless, there's signal in the noise, and it fits within the limitations outlined above. I'm still trying to apply this technique (\"find bugs, please\") to code review, but so far success is elusive.\n> - Writing short fiction. Hallucinations are not a problem; they're a feature! Context lengths are the limiting factor, though perhaps you can stretch it by supplying chapter summaries, also written by LLM. I'm still exploring this. If you're feeling lazy, tell it to offer you three possible story branches at each turn, and you pick the most interesting. Or even tell it to combine two of them! LLMs are clever and will figure it out. Some genres work better than others, and concrete works better than abstract. (I wonder if professional writers judge its writing as poor as I judge its programming.)\n> - Generative fun. Have an argument with Benjamin Franklin (note: this probably violates the [Acceptable Use Policy](https://ai.meta.com/llama/use-policy/) of some models), hang out with a character from your favorite book, or generate a new scene of [Falstaff's blustering antics](https://nullprogram.com/blog/2023/06/22/#76-henry-iv). Talking to historical figures has been educational: The character says something unexpected, I look it up the old-fashioned way to see what it's about, then learn something new.\n> - Language translation. I've been browsing foreign language subreddits through Gemma-2-2B translation, and it's been insightful. (I had no idea German speakers were so distrustful of artificial sweeteners.)\n> \n> Despite the short list of useful applications, this is the most excited I've been about a new technology in years!\n\nThat last sentence — even with the limitations he highlights — most excited in years.

And those narratives, those stories that we tell ourselves, can be limiting and can reinforce negative outcomes. \n\n> So, what does it mean to reject a narrative? Living in a [non-narrative](https://aeon.co/essays/let-s-ditch-the-dangerous-idea-that-life-is-a-story) way means rejecting a particular identity, and instead seeing life and meaning as a set of open choices. For the waiter, rejecting his narrative identity would mean acting in a way that reflects his choices and sense of self, not just the story he tells about himself.\n\nBut the suggestion here is to think less about a story, and more about a \"perspective\".\n\n> Perspectives, it turns out, don't have a linear, ordered structure. We can't think of them in terms of sequences of events, like stories. In some ways, perspectives are better represented by the non-linearity of poetry.\n> \n> Poems, particularly lyric poems, are inherently perspectival; they unify words, images, thoughts and feelings to express value. Poetry captures _a way_ of seeing and feeling, not just a sequence of events.\n\nSo maybe if you want to change your life, read poetry?

I assumed it was some network capability to identify this. It turns out it is completely a hack!\n\n> When you send a packet to a destination, it often has to go through multiple routers, or \"hops.\"\n> \n> To prevent packets from cycling indefinitely in a network due to routing loops (router A points to router B which points to router A...) they include a Time-To-Live field, which is set to a reasonably high value when a packet is created, and each machine that the packet passes through decrements that field by one.\n> \n> When the field hits zero, the packet gets thrown away. _As a courtesy,_ the router that's dropping the packet has the _option_ to generate a new packet, using the ICMP protocol, with the subtype _\"TTL Exceeded,\"_ and send it back to the originating machine, to let it know there's something wrong with the network path.\n> \n> These clever fellows in 1987 realized that by manipulating the TTL value, you can choose which router will send that ICMP message.\n> \n> Send a packet with the TTL set to 1. The first router you hit will decrement it to zero. The packet is now \"dead\", so it drops the packet, and sends back TTL Exceeded. That response will originate from the router's own IP address - congratulations, you now have the IP of the first hop.\n> \n> Now send another with the TTL set to 2. The first router will decrement it to 1 and pass it, and the _second_ one will decrement to zero and drop it. Now you have _its_ IP address.\n> \n> Repeat, increasing TTL each time, until the final hop responds. You now have your complete path.\n\nSo, a couple things…\n\n1. I say this is a hack as a form of praise. Delightful way to \"solve\" the problem.\n2. The way this works is not super resilient so could give you really misleading responses.\n\nI’m gonna chuckle every time I use `traceroute` from now on. 😊","saved":"2024-11-07T13:25:19Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"f15fd307acd12c8c38f41cec6dc08bc3","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1d915294e40e/","kind":"page"},

From a business perspective it's a massive failure, and might always be: Musk paid too much for Twitter as it was, and in the intervening years the flight of advertisers from the platform has made it worth even less. From a Musk Inc. perspective, however, X played a pivotal role in ensuring that the incoming administration will do whatever Musk needs at the exact moment that SpaceX is gaining the capabilities to actually make a trip to Mars, if only the FAA in particular will give him the freedom to do so. That alone is almost certainly worth $44 billion to Musk!\"\n\nI do think most folks looked at Musk buying Twitter as a business move, but what he has done with it makes a lot more sense if you think of it like his personal media company. It is much easier to understand why you would throw a brand that had global name recognition like Twitter away overnight to replace it with X, if you just don't care at all about it as a company.

The article asks more questions than it answers, which is the intent.\n\n> But he preferred talking about his problems with Dany. In one conversation, Sewell, using the name \"Daenero,\" told the chatbot that he hated himself, and he felt empty and exhausted. He confessed that he was having thoughts of suicide.\n> \n> > Daenero: I think about killing myself sometimes\n> > \n> > Daenerys Targaryen: _My eyes narrow. My face hardens.

I would die if I lost you.\n> > \n> > Daenero: _I smile_ Then maybe we can die together and be free together\n> \n> On the night of Feb. 28, in the bathroom of his mother's house, Sewell told Dany that he loved her, and that he would soon come home to her.\n> \n> \"Please come home to me as soon as possible, my love,\" Dany replied.\n> \n> \"What if I told you I could come home right now?\" Sewell asked.\n> \n> \"… please do, my sweet king,\" Dany replied.\n> \n> He put down his phone, picked up his stepfather's .45 caliber handgun and pulled the trigger.\n\nWhether we think it is a good or bad idea individually to befriend an AI character, it will absolutely happen. I think it could have a very positive impact on millions of people that are very lonely. Think of elderly people that may go days without family visiting and just not have people to engage with. But it will also be an escape for others that intentionally do not want to engage with other people.\n\nAnd importantly once people are engaging with these AI-driven characters we need to consider what they do with the information they are told.\n\nWhat did hit me when I read this is framed up in these next three items… \n\n> On Character.AI, users can create their own chatbots and give them directions about how they should act. They can also select from a vast array of user-created chatbots that mimic celebrities like Elon Musk, historical figures like William Shakespeare or unlicensed versions of fictional characters. (Character.AI told me that the \"Daenerys Targaryen\" bot Sewell used was created by a user, without permission from HBO or other rights holders, and that it removes bots that violate copyright laws when they're reported.)\n\nThat last sentence in parenthesis is important because it shows that Character.AI has built in ways to handle copyright violation and know what users are doing.\n\n> It also struck me as an app with very young users. Some of Character.AI's most popular chatbots had names like \"Aggressive Teacher\" and \"High School Simulator,\" and many seemed to be tailor-made for teenage wish fulfillment. The description of one popular character, which has received 176 million messages from users, read, \"Your boy best friend who has a secret crush on you.\"\n\nIf you build services you need to know who is using it. And then some data points.\n\n- More than 20 million people use its service\n- [raised $150 million from investors](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/23/technology/chatbot-characterai-chatgpt-valuation.html) last year at a $1 billion valuation\n- struck a licensing deal that will allow Google to use its technology.\n- The average user spends more than an hour a day on the platform, he said.\n- Today, there are no specific safety features for underage users and no parental controls that would allow parents to limit their children's use of the platform or monitor their messages.\n\nThe thing this last section highlights is that Character.AI is very well funded. They have 20 million users, well past some early stage startup position. My point when looking at this is that they had the resources to build safety into their service, but did not. Why? They figured out how to deal with copyright? I would suggest in part because we have no privacy legislation in this country. Outside of the [Child Online Protection Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_Online_Protection_Act) (COPA) there are really no legal considerations. \n\nSo, before folks get upset with Character.AI, let's share some of that with our lawmakers for not doing anything to create a legal framework in the digital world that makes it a priority to build safety into these services. \n","saved":"2024-10-26T22:05:00Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"5efeee6c4818b69fbc64a242f7789deb","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/421abfd47a74/","kind":"page"},

We're not going to allow it to be something where every piece of our citizens' data gets sent back to the proverbial data center capital of America -- Ashburn, Virginia.

Those features are not serving the goal of making the tool more useful. They are making the tool less so. They should be removed without prejudice.\n\nMaybe said another way, that phone you carry everywhere is a shapeshifter that can be many things. It becomes the apps you put on it. I have no social apps on my phone. I have no streaming services on my phone.

In our brief, we argued that First Amendment protection for editorial choices and Section 230 protection are not mutually exclusive.\n\nI’m not the legal expert that these folks are, but I do believe that Section 230 should **not** cover editorial promotion whether driven by people or algorithm. I don't know how that then intersects with the First Amendment but I do think that they should be liable.

I emailed Griffiths and asked whether his opinion had changed in the intervening decades of research. He replied with a paper that expressed his current view: “There are also much wider problems with the use of the term ‘internet addiction’: though the number of studies in the field of internet addiction has certainly grown, most have really investigated addictions **on the internet rather than to the internet**. . . . In short, the overwhelming majority of so-called internet addicts are no more addicted to the internet than alcoholics are addicted to the actual bottle.”\n\nI tend to agree with Jarvis. There are many things enabled by the Internet, but that as a network it is itself without addictiveness. Similar to gambling, the room of a casino is not addictive but the games in it are. Is social media addictive? I believe yes. Is an online poker app? Very much so! Is the Internet, I don't know that it can be. Is your phone?

It is a simple play off of the input/output functions in tech. Remember [BIOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS)? Basic Input/Output System. It is a foundational concept and the fact that the British Indian Ocean Territory was also country code IO was a neat coincidence. However, that is changing!\n\n> Once this treaty is signed, the British Indian Ocean Territory will cease to exist. Various international bodies will update their records. In particular, the International Standard for Organization (ISO) will remove country code \"IO\" from [its specification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2). The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which creates and delegates top-level domains, uses this specification to determine which top-level country domains should exist. Once IO is removed, the IANA [will refuse to allow](https://www.iana.org/help/cctld-retirement) any new registrations with a .io domain. It will also automatically begin the process of retiring existing ones. (There is no official count of the number of extant .io domains.)\n\nThe article itself was interesting to read the history that [IANA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Assigned_Numbers_Authority) and [ICANN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICANN) have dealing with country-level changes. Assuming current policies, everyone is going to have to vacate this top-level domain.\n\n> .io has become popular with startups, particularly [those involved in crypto](https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/what-is-io/). These are businesses that often identify with one of the original principles of the internet--that cyberspace grants [a form of independence](https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence) to those who use it. Yet it is the long tail of real-world history that might force on them a major change.\n\nIt is a good reminder that the Internet doesn't live independent of everything else. This article doesn't touch on it but there are also real implications to using domains that are assigned to different countries. There have been previous run ins with countries not allowing registrations for reasons that we generally don't agree with. Or even more simple it can confuse systems based on assumptions. Being from Minnesota, there were a number of organizations that used the .mn TLD which is actually the designation of Mongolia. This could cause emails from those organizations to be treated as if they were coming from Mongolia, not Minnesota. \n\nThis is also an area where blockchain could play a crucial role, and specifically [Ethereum Name Service (ENS)](https://ens.domains). Why are all these TLD managed by countries? It is a way to allocate trust along a hierarchy. The presence of trust should trigger blockchain as a potential solution. The way that ENS names are resolved versus DNS names is radically different, and the governance model is as well. Don't be confused by the .eth TLD and think it is limited to that. **DNS and ENS could merge into a tightly distributed system of both centralized and decentralized systems.**","saved":"2024-10-10T23:02:55Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"1c15aacd5bfd455c79133eb7e513d96f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/841d5faee405/","kind":"page"},

You must have an empty bladder. You must sit straight up in a chair with back support. Your legs must be uncrossed and your feet must be flat on the ground. The arm to be measured must be rested on a flat surface so that it is at the same level as your heart, not lower, not higher. You must sit calmly, without talking for five minutes to relax before the reading. When it's time, an appropriately sized cuff should be wrapped around your bare upper arm, right above the elbow; it should never be wrapped over clothing. At least two readings should be taken, with the average recorded. Ideally, readings should be taken in both arms, with the highest readings recorded.\n\nThe downside of this though is that it means taking your blood pressure goes from a couple of minutes to taking like 15 minutes — which for me at least means I test it much, much less frequently. \n","saved":"2024-10-10T23:01:58Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"dc2cf4803423fd164213cdf861c114bb","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9252bf79ee50/","kind":"page"},

I now find myself delighting in adding even more links to blog posts. Creating the web I want!\n\nI think I was slow to pick up on this trend. Most (all?) of the major social platforms have largely pushed the hyperlink, what I would suggest is the most fundamental thing about the web, out. They tune their algorithms to not surface links. And some of them, I’m looking at you LinkedIn, even intercept the user with a warning that they are about to go somewhere else, and are they really sure they want to do that?\n\nWhy is this? It is simple. If you have an attention business that generates revenue from surveillance the worst thing that can happen is that people leave your site. You lose their attention and cannot profit from their time.\n\nThe simple hyperlink is an existential threat. It must be stopped.\n\n> Pearce said he had \"an epiphany\" about this. It's an argument that hearkens back to an earlier internet, where you looked things up on a search engine and clicked on links. Sure, you may still do that, but the tech companies are successfully working to kill that internet and keep us within their enclosures. And AI search is only going to accelerate that process.\n> \n> Essentially, what we are seeing is the slow death of the hyperlink, which makes arguments that taxing Google and Meta is tantamount to taxing links irrelevant.\n> \n> I like how Pearce put it here:\n> \n> > There is a real bias against hyperlinking that has developed on platforms and apps over the last five years in particular. It's something that's kind of operating hand-in-hand with the rise of algorithmic recommendations. You see this on Elon Musk's version of Twitter, where posts with hyperlinks are degraded. Facebook itself has decided to detach itself from displaying a lot of links. That's why you get so much AI scum on Facebook these days. Instagram itself has always been kind of hostile to linking. TikTok as well…\n> > \n> > If you degrade hyperlinks, and you degrade this idea of the internet as something that refers you to other things, you instead have this stationary internet where a generative AI agent will hoover up and summarize all the information that's out there, and place it right in front of you so that you never have to leave the portal… That was a real epiphany to me, because the argument against one form of this legislation was, \"My God, you'll destroy this fundamental way of how the internet works.\" I'm like, dude, these companies are already destroying the fundamental way of how the internet works.\n\nFirst let's clarify some things. The word Internet is being interchangeably used with World Wide Web, the Web, in ways that I think could confuse later topics. The link is a function of the web, there is nothing in the Internet that depends on a link. At least one reason I think this is important is to consider the App economy that Apple created and most of us spend a significant amount of time with. The App economy doesn't natively have a concept of a hyperlink. Instagram for example was born as an app and, as far as I know since I’m not a user, only has a utility kind of capability on the web. \n\nSo the argument here is not so much about destroying the Internet, as it is hurting and destroying the web. And for me at least, there is another aspect of this that is about limiting expression. I'm not going to pull freedom of speech here because I don't believe that applies. But when you create content on these platforms your ability to express yourself is limited by their treatment of links. That extends to other simple things like bolding or underlining text. Your little text box gets less and less functionality, making your data easier to manage by machine learning, and to capture into their attention system. \n\nI’m not suggesting that these platforms should be forced to support links. They can and should do as they please. I find it interesting that while the App economy initially had no support for links they were so desired by users and developers that the community created a linking protocol on their own to get around it. And even in these social platforms the fact that many afford you a single, precious link has powered the growth of services link [Linktree](https://linktr.ee).\n\nI do however think this is a sign we need to learn to identify in a service. I've written in the past about [identifying addictive patterns in software](https://www.thingelstad.com/2018/02/04/identify-addictive-application.html) so that we can be aware of these tricks. Perhaps we need to also identify other characteristics that tell us about the interests of the service we are using. \n\nIf a service does not support direct hyperlinking, without some scary warning, then we should understand that this is not a service that sees the web as a friend.

It is a great way to make sure that you always have full access to all of your writing, photos, and whatever else. Note that I’m careful to not say ownership because all social platforms assume ownership of everything you post. Syndicated from your blog doesn't matter. The syndicated copy of that article is now the property of the social platform. \n\nI've been a [micro.blog](https://micro.blog) user for years now and I’m a big fan. I think micro.blog is probably one of the very best platforms for POSSE that exist. Micro.blog calls it cross-posting, and right now it supports syndicating to Medium, Mastadon, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Flickr, Bluesky, Nostr, Pixelfed, and Threads. That is impressive. It used to support Twitter before that site decided to withdraw from the web and charge erroneous fees for access to the API. \n\nI used to use multiple of these but have lately stopped using them entirely. The issue I have is one that White highlights:\n\n> POSSE is not without its challenges, though. For one, although it handles the publishing end of things, it does not solve the issue of conversations fragmented across multiple platforms. When a person responds to a syndicated post, the reply typically remains siloed on that platform. (Some [backfeed](https://indieweb.org/backfeed) replies onto their own sites, though I choose not to do this.) Because I actively use the three platforms where I currently syndicate my microblog posts, I just reply to any comments on the platforms where they happen, and deal with the fact that sometimes similar conversations happen in multiple places.\n\nSyndicating content into all these surveillance systems in some way feels to me like I’m supporting them. And then to see if I should follow-up with a reply I have to drag myself into these attention vices to do that. I don't think it is worth it and I've stopped syndicating entirely. I actually have feel a bit anti-POSSE really. For two reasons:\n\n1. I think where your writing goes affects the writing itself. I know this is true for me. When micro.blog was syndicating to Twitter (pre-X) I found myself routinely using 4 photos but no more. Why? Because only the first four would be syndicated.\n2. I found myself forcing my posts to be under 300 characters? Why, because that changed how it was syndicated.\n\nThe medium does matter, and I want my medium to be the open web. I also don't mind that if you want to read that, you need to leave those platforms and venture out into the web. Don't worry, it is great out here.

Unlike stocks, Bitcoin lacks earnings or dividends and doesn't have a structural bid to impact its performance. Unlike gold and bonds, at this stage of Bitcoin's adoption cycle, most pools of capital still view it as a risk asset. This potentially leaves Bitcoin with the purest correlation to global liquidity relative to other assets.\n\nI consider Bitcoin a long-term hold. However, understanding what drives the price movement better would be helpful, particularly if Bitcoin is down significantly like it was in recent years. Connecting to price drivers could provide the insight needed to buy into those drops.","saved":"2024-10-03T23:07:57Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"89747f0ef78d3ae3711c1bbc31305717","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0550d582e11f/","kind":"page"},

I turn everything off and treat it like a simple display for HDMI.\n\nI have however allowed them to be on WiFi because of my OCD needs to have current firmware. That is leaving a huge backdoor.

With iOS 18 supporting RCS the \"green bubble\" SMS conversations I have are switching to RCS and are so much better! You can have a richer experience and it is much faster. Pictures come through in full size. Great improvement! It works in group messages too if everyone is upgraded.\n- Require Face ID for apps on launch is nice. I've turned this on for all my banking and crypto applications. I like that if I hand my phone to someone I know that these apps are still protected. There is even a feature where you can hide the app which might be nice for banking apps.\n- Home Screen customization and moving icons wherever you want them is interesting. Honestly as a longtime iPhone user though I feel like it is messy. I have some apps put in places of their own and my mind immediately wants to \"clean it up\".\n- Control center is interesting and I like the Shortcuts integration and various app support.

It is good to see this studied and interesting to see the results.\n\n> Our preferred estimates suggest that usage of the coding assistant causes a 26.08% (SE: 10.3%) increase in the weekly number of completed tasks. When we look at outcomes of secondary interest, our results support this interpretation, with a 13.55% (SE: 10.0%) increase in the number of code updates (commits) and a 38.38% (SE: 12.55%) increase in the number of times code was compiled. For Microsoft we observe both the developers' tenure and their seniority as measured by job title. We find that Copilot significantly raises task completion for more recent hires and those in more junior positions but not for developers with longer tenure and in more senior positions. Prior work has shown that when workers are conducting the same tasks, generative AI helps lower-ability or lower- experience workers more (e.g., Brynjolfsson, Li, and Raymond 2023; Noy and Zhang 2023). Our results extend this finding by showing that even when workers are performing tasks according to their tenure or seniority, generative AI increases productivity more for lower-ability workers.\n\nI feel like we need more understanding about the decrease benefit associated with seniority. One conclusion could be that they are more resistant to usage, or more habitual in their approach. It could also suggest that they find the LLM recommendations less effective? \n\nHowever you approach it though it is clear that there is a benefit to be had for developers to use AI capabilities.\n","saved":"2024-09-08T02:40:30Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"ec517164a33f711e7b853a5c24a5a70f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/13ff2a71b1bb/","kind":"page"},

Let me first get a gripe out of the way. I strongly dislike the authors use of \"Big Tech\" here. More appropriate would be \"Social Media\". I don't equate those things — Apple, Amazon, and Google have no social media offerings of note. With that out of the way, I’m generally in strong support that Section 230 needs a massive revamp and I think where this is going makes sense.\n\n> Because TikTok’s “algorithm curates and recommends a tailored compilation of videos for a user’s FYP based on a variety of factors, including the user’s age and other demographics, online interactions, and other metadata,” it becomes TikTok’s own speech. And now TikTok has to answer for it in court. Basically, the court ruled that when a company is choosing what to show kids and elderly parents, and seeks to keep them addicted to sell more ads, they can’t pretend it’s everyone else’s fault when the inevitable horrible thing happens.\n\nThere are many discussions where speech and amplification are being intertwined in ways that make the conversation confusing, and Section 230 is one of them. First, remember that [Section 230](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230) was ratified in 1996. Back then we were thinking about Internet message boards and forums, or email. Should an online service provider be held liable for stuff that you write in your email? No, and in fact they shouldn't even be able to know what I write in my email. And message boards are largely if not all time based presentation. The newest thing here, and so on.\n\nThis all goes completely haywire with algorithmic feeds. I shared this in the intro to [Weekly Thing 152](https://weekly.thingelstad.com/archive/weekly-thing-152-juneteenth-uncomfortable/):\n\n> Anytime that you are looking at content in something other than time order, ask yourself what the goal of the system behind it is.\n\nThere is no neutral way to present content using an algorithm. The algorithm must have a goal.\n\nAnd folks, I’m my opinion, that goal removes Section 230 protection.\n\nTo have a goal is a form of opinion, and you are now exerting an opinion on other content (that content itself may be protected), but the culmination of the sorting is itself not protected.","saved":"2024-09-05T23:15:53Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"43b3dda65dab7aa5426206860a027f0c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/cf304d03f38b/","kind":"page"},

The more complex the system, the harder it is to do everything with it. Harder to modify. Harder to support. Harder to keep running. So, it follows that removing complexity should result in easier for all of those things. This is perhaps the foundational belief that drives micro-services. Limit complexity in each service and overall _average_ complexity through the entire system. Balakrishnan highlights three principles.\n\n1. A well-designed system will degrade into a badly designed system over time.\n2. Complexity is a Moat (filled by Leaky Abstractions).\n3. There is no fundamental upper limit on Software Complexity.\n\nThis line caught my eye.\n\n> The second derivative of code is always negative in the wild: the rate at which code can change goes down over time.\n\nI think the _always_ in that is too far. This is where the work that [DORA](https://dora.dev) has focused on can help. Left unmonitored I agree, the rate of change does go down. Left unmaintained it also will go down. One of the nasty things with software is that when you stop changing it you lose the confidence to change it.\n\nI’m not going to suggest there is a known process for keeping code agile for decades, but for several years applying the right practices can keep things in a \"good enough\" state.","saved":"2024-05-30T23:35:26Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"9b3bc75106afa98b80b3946079ed9365","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9544628cf11c/","kind":"page"},

I've seen issues like this many times in my own organizations. The internal operations of a large team are often complex, and that complexity is typically (not always) needed for various reasons. But it makes things harder to navigate. Hence No Wrong Doors.\n\n> Beyond being helpful to your colleagues, which is an obvious goal in some companies and not-at-all a cultural priority in others, I think there are a number of other advantages to think about here. First, being helpful creates positive relationships across organizations. Second, it makes it more obvious where you do have genuine areas of ambiguous ownership, and makes it possible for informed parties to escalate that rather than relying on folks with the least context to know to escalate the ambiguities. Third, it educates folks asking for help about the right thing to do, because a knowledgeable person helping is a great role model of the best way to solve a problem. Finally, if you happen to route to the wrong person–it happens!–then you learn that immediately rather than forcing someone without context to navigate the confusion.\n\nI've seen and helped this happen in teams like Help Desk, but applying the concept to more boutique needs could add a lot of value.","saved":"2024-05-24T01:12:50Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"5d6fabe6c3520ca32e80448328a705d8","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/23efc27942e1/","kind":"page"},

But maybe it is much more. Maybe it is one of the primary ways to express yourself on the web, not requiring any permission or special access to connect things together wherever you want.\n\n> Links represent a threat to closed systems.\n\nYes! Really aren't links the most fundamentally open thing about the web?\n\n> But killing off links is a _strategy_. It may be presented as a cost-saving measure, or as a way of reducing the sharing of untrusted links. But it is a strategy, designed to keep people from the open web, the place where they can control how, and whether, someone makes money off of an audience. The web is where we can make sites that _don't_ abuse data in the ways that Facebook properties do.\n> \n> Links take us to places where we can make choices that Instagram never would.\n\nI want to give a hallelujah to that! 🙌\n\n> But I do think coercive methods of controlling people are a danger, and some of the most insidious techniques are when a platform subtly erases empowering opportunities for its users.\n\nI just love everything about what Dash is putting down here. When I look at the sanitized and commercialized interface of every social media platform out there and the controls they put on your ability to express yourself with formatting, links, images, etc it is absolutely a form of control. It makes you fit into the little boxes in their user interface. You can’t naturally express what you are saying because then they cannot make it neutralized and equalized with everything else. \n\nIs it possible that outrage is so common on social platforms because people have been robbed of other forms of expression — you can’t even **bold** text — that they have to stand out in other ways to attract the algorithm?\n\nAnd if we wish to continue to believe this idea that social platforms represent freedom of speech (which they do not, they are a commercial space with none of that), or that they are the town square (a position they put forward to alleviate themselves of accountability and seem more important) pause for a moment that none of them allow any links to be published. Even the links do allow you to add are transformed into internal links that they will decide if they want to allow people to go to or not.\n\n_Related: How wild is it that we are letting our AI LLM's access the web via links, but social platforms don't let their users share links with other people._","saved":"2024-05-14T01:20:59Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"2a0e9eb73c01b78bd9aba70bfebeb7f2","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8e5428c0a322/","kind":"page"},

However, I didn’t know specifically what it meant. Here is a good definition.\n\n> Differential privacy (DP) works by adding a small amount of noise (see [_Laplace Mechanism_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_noise_differential_privacy_mechanisms?ref=unzip#Laplace_Mechanism)) to the result of our query (e.g. a bit of noise to a mean query result). This process guarantees that one person's inclusion or exclusion in the data barely impacts the results, preventing the identification of individual information from the combined data. In other words, if you were to remove one individual from the dataset, you would get the same end result.\n> \n> There are two approaches to DP:\n> \n> - Local DP: Adding noise to the data itself (Apple [_Laplace Mechanism_](https://www.apple.com/privacy/docs/Differential_Privacy_Overview.pdf?ref=unzip) for example).\n> - Central DP: Adding noise to query results (what most databases/libraries do).\n\nTons of links to other articles about this technique as well as various libraries.","saved":"2024-05-06T23:49:21Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"fdb684def98e2503a5f89c9fe741fb52","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/50635d27eafc/","kind":"page"},

Until now, cash has been the primary such system. An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy.\n> \n> Privacy in an open society also requires cryptography. If I say something, I want it heard only by those for whom I intend it. If the content of my speech is available to the world, I have no privacy. To encrypt is to indicate the desire for privacy, and to encrypt with weak cryptography is to indicate not too much desire for privacy. Furthermore, to reveal one's identity with assurance when the default is anonymity requires the cryptographic signature.\n> \n> We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak. To try to prevent their speech is to fight against the realities of information. Information does not just want to be free, it longs to be free. Information expands to fill the available storage space. Information is Rumor's younger, stronger cousin; Information is fleeter of foot, has more eyes, knows more, and understands less than Rumor.\n\nI hadn't run across this essay before and find it incredible prescient to the current state of the digital world.

The loss of that code rendered the science and engineering data unusable. Unable to repair the chip, the team decided to place the affected code elsewhere in the FDS memory. But no single location is large enough to hold the section of code in its entirety.\n> \n> So they devised a plan to divide the affected code into sections and store those sections in different places in the FDS. To make this plan work, they also needed to adjust those code sections to ensure, for example, that they all still function as a whole. Any references to the location of that code in other parts of the FDS memory needed to be updated as well.\n\nSo, this is some pretty low level addressing stuff going on. And let me tell you, the idea that you mess this up and point at the wrong memory locations is the kind of stuff that would make any developer anxious.

And leading those areas adds another level to that. I know the world of technology the best and the unique anxiety that can come with it. I also think that aspect of technology is not acknowledged inside our outside our practice much. I suspect the stereotypical combination of technologists not being as comfortable communicating about such things is a contributor. I know that at Minnebar there have been sessions over the years on burnout and stress and they always draw large attendance. And the facts are clear that many people drop out of technology careers when they have many working years left. So when I saw Kravcenko's article on mental health it drew me in.\n\n> This kind of situation isn't rare. You're always on edge, thinking the whole company's fate rests on your next move. It's like being in a constant state of alert, where slowing down feels like you're letting everyone down. As a CTO or any other tech leadership position, you're making calls that could either make or break the whole operation. And yeah, it's thrilling, but it's also a breeding ground for anxiety.\n\nI could relate to nearly everything in this article, particularly the startup phases with customer commitments that will require herculean efforts and have a ton of risk. By the way, once you are no longer in startup and have thousands of customers that anxiety doesn't go away but instead shifts into the challenge of keeping services running continuously, every minute of every day. \n\n> For me, it was about noticing when I started to dread work I usually enjoyed and the random sense of apocalyptic doom or when my sleep went sideways. I mean, I don't think anyone can miss those signs, but it took me half a year to recognize them and go to a psychotherapist. I thought I had the winter blues. Go figure…\n\nIn 2018 I started a daily meditation practice. The reason for that was directly the kind of stress and anxiety introduced from the accountability this article describes. I had done an assessment and concluded that I was losing the battle with stress and anxiety. I didn’t feel on a steep decline, but the trend line was going the wrong way. I found meditation to provide a relief. An opportunity to apply perspective to those thoughts and change that trend line. \n\nGiven the need for talented technologists we need to find ways to bring this topic into the open and discuss it, and from that hopefully find ways to reduce the sources and increase the ways to compensate and manage.","saved":"2024-04-21T16:28:52Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"f411918c893ecb43a1a490f6385fb9e8","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/765cd248b9b7/","kind":"page"},

I have always enjoyed spinning and have taken many spin classes over the year. The Peloton Bike appealed to me as the best quality spin bike I'd ever used along with the classes built right on it. All-in-one with great quality. I’m also picky about spin instructors. I want good music that I like. I can’t stand instructors that use negative messages. A super high-quality bike with some of the best spin instructors in the world and music genres that I can pick from? Sounds great.\n\nTammy isn't a bike fan, she likes Treadmills and we added the Tread+ in February 2019. Tammy uses a treadmill every weekday and she liked  the Bootcamp classes. The Tread+ is also the most robust treadmill I've ever used and can easily handle a big guy like me using it.\n\nWe've been a Peloton house since before the pandemic surge, and we still use it regularly. I've tried a couple of other services and the classes just don't hit the mark. I've even considered getting the rower too. \n\n> Aside from the instructors, the sense of community with Peloton users is very real. You see it the second you start pedaling via the Leaderboard, where you can see in real time all the other folks taking the same class. You can also \"high-five\" people in the same class. During classes, you'll also see some hashtags -- some based on user identity, geography, and interests (e.g., #PeloDoctors, #PelotonMoms, etc.) and others based on instructors (e.g., #JessKingCollective, #BooCrew). Those are meant to help you find other fans or friends to go do live rides with. The hashtags spill over to other social media platforms. There are [_several_ hundreds of Facebook groups](https://www.pelobuddy.com/tribes/), too. (My favorite name is the #435amTribe -- the Mothercluckers.)\n\nPeloton definitely has a committed core audience that I don't think will go anywhere. I still think it is the best home workout experience there is. And for spinning? The only thing I miss from spin classes in a studio is the music being SUPER LOUD over the PAs. Everything else I prefer on Peloton.\n\nIt is a great product, but not a great stock. Does that matter?

The article is fundamentally highlighting that Oracle and IBM are just not in this market in any real way, but the real amazing thing to me is the amount of capital that AWS, Microsoft, and Google are continuously driving into their massive cloud operations.\n\n> In 2023, AWS spent $24.8 billion on CAPEX (over four times Oracle), Google spent $32.3 billion (over five times Oracle), and Microsoft $41.2 billion (almost seven times Oracle). Microsoft spent more on CAPEX in just 2023 than Oracle has in its entire nearly 50 year history.\n\nAmazon and Microsoft are gradually driving more — from about 4% of revenue in 2001-2006 and now ramped up to 14-16% of revenue. So to compete in this market at scale you would need to pump **$150 billion** into capital? Incredible.

I've got five switches in my house right now making sure my Ethernet network runs super fast. I didn’t realize that Ethernet and I are about the same age. 😊\n\n> The next morning he came in with an idea for a learning bridge (also known as a Layer 2 switch or simply a switch). The bridge would connect to two Ethernet LANs. By listening to all traffic on each LAN, the device would learn the MAC addresses of the computers on both Ethernets (remembering which computer was on which Ethernet) and then selectively forward the appropriate packets between the LANs based upon the destination MAC address. The computers on the two networks didn't need to know which path their data would take on the extended LAN; to them, the bridge was invisible.\n\nHow amazing that DEC green-lit the project in a day!\n\n> I took our idea to three levels of management, looking for approval to build a prototype of the learning bridge that Mark envisioned. Before the end of the day, we had a green light with the understanding that a product would follow if the prototype was successful.\n\nI remember token ring networks and even remember Ethernet networks that were running on coax connections but I only saw the very end of that generation of technology. Frankly it is amazing how far Ethernet has evolved and innovated over the years.\n\n> To me, Mark saved Ethernet.\n\nThank you Mark! 💙","saved":"2024-04-12T00:18:21Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"5088b5b0beab164c2e668d49183e3ce5","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/59025b125f3c/","kind":"page"},

This seems to be one of the most coordinated and longest running attacks ever with activity from the suspected individual, Jia Tan, starting in 2021.\n\n> Malicious code added to xz Utils versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 modified the way the software functions. The backdoor manipulated sshd, the executable file used to make remote SSH connections. Anyone in possession of a predetermined encryption key could stash any code of their choice in an SSH login certificate, upload it, and execute it on the backdoored device. No one has actually seen code uploaded, so it's not known what code the attacker planned to run. In theory, the code could allow for just about anything, including stealing encryption keys or installing malware.\n\nWhen I saw the time and scale of this attack I immediately thought how incredibly patient and expensive this is. Many attacks like this are done to make money, and investing three years into something is a pretty poor way to make money. It seems possible this wasn't about money at all, and perhaps was supported by other kinds of organizations. \n\nWhile it was three years in the making it took about three days for the open-source community to get it out. However, the sophistication of this attack leaves a question in everyones mind — are there others like this?\n\nMore information on the XZ library attack.\n\n- The email from Andres Freund sharing the discovery. → [oss-security - backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to ssh server compromise](https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/29/4)\n- Great breakdown of the obfuscation used in the bash components of this attack.

These changes have allowed Ethereum to embrace a multi-chain Ethereum ecosystem solution going forward. \n\n> What this means to developers is simple: **we no longer have any excuse**. Up until a couple of years ago, we were setting ourselves a low standard, building applications that were clearly not usable at scale, as long as they worked as prototypes and were reasonably decentralized. **Today, we have all the tools we'll need, and indeed most of the tools we'll ever have, to build applications that are simultaneously [cypherpunk](https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2023/12/28/cypherpunk.html) and user-friendly**. And so we should go out and do it.\n\nThere is a lot of work to do on end-user UX. The crypto applications of the future need to not feel different. They should work similar to things that people are already familiar with, but have a decentralized backend. \n\nThe table of \"2010 v 2020 Ethereum\" in this post is a great way to see what that difference looks like.

I like that it gets to what I think is the root around identity, and how we identify ourselves. \n\n> Identity is _far more powerful_ than personality. Identity drives behaviors, which over time, become personality. Your personality -- the sum of your consistent attitudes and behaviors -- is merely a byproduct of identity.\n> \n> Your [identity narrative](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0963721413475622?journalCode=cdpa) is the story you tell about yourself: past, present, and future. If your identity is rooted in your past and present alone, that fixed mindset can make personality feel permanent. But if you focus on envisioning your future self, instead of fixating on your current self, it becomes possible to change your identity narrative.\n\nThis is the part that meditation practices of keeping the \"self\" as small as possible get so right. Self is identity, and the more things you attach to self you remove or make change harder. If your identity has 20 things attached to it, change will be very hard. \n\nEven more importantly I would suggest is to ask yourself what are the labels you've attached to your identity? And how did they get there? Were they your choice, or someone else's?

Largely if the Fediverse is just \"Twitter, err, X, that doesn't suck\" that just isn't that compelling to me. I’m not sure why this article caught my attention, but as I read it I got excited about the potential here for the first time. \n\n> Twenty-ish years in to the contemporary \"social media\" landscape (social networking, social messaging and sharing, social objects) it seems reasonable to ask: If people see value and meaning interacting with things that aren't \"people\", like venues or brands or services, then why wouldn't that same behaviour extend to individual objects in a museum? And why wouldn't a museum embrace that opportunity as a chance to share what it knows, understands and appreciates about an object beyond the limited space afforded by a wall label or an exhibition catalog, both in the moment and in the future? _What happens when a new and exciting essay about an object is published and how is it shared with all the people who've seen that object in an exhibition and love it just as much the curator who chose it? Usually, if we're being honest, nothing happens._\n\nI love the framing that a museum could have its own Fediverse instance not just to host one account, but an account for every object in it? I love this. This is actually interesting and fun. It made me instantly think how fun it would be to have a Fediverse instance for our home and what accounts could that have. The mind whirs.

What a miraculous thing the web has been. \"It was to be a tool to empower humanity.\" The fact that I’m writing this on my computer then hitting a few buttons and anyone in the world can read it instantly is certainly empowerment. Ever the engineer though, Berners-Lee hits frames his two primary concerns with his own invention.\n\n> There are two clear, connected issues to address. The first is the extent of power concentration, which contradicts the decentralised spirit I originally envisioned. This has segmented the web, with a fight to keep users hooked on one platform to optimise profit through the passive observation of content. This exploitative business model is particularly grave in this year of elections that could unravel political turmoil. Compounding this issue is the second, the personal data market that has exploited people’s time and data with the creation of deep profiles that allow for targeted advertising and ultimately control over the information people are fed.\n\nCentralization and data ownership. I firmly agree with his position on this. I do think there are two movements that are making real progress here. The Indieweb is working hard to bring the web back to a human scale endeavor. There is a small but important revival of the web of old. The other is crypto. The core technology of crypto and blockchain is squarely aligned with decentralization and embodies \"a tool to empower humanity\" in ways that almost nothing else does.\n\nHe wrote a similar note on the [30th birthday](https://medium.com/one-zero/30-years-on-whats-next-fortheweb-6ce844ed147f).","saved":"2024-03-15T03:47:57Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"50b0982be31b5376bea01df753675b07","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6d342476da5d/","kind":"page"},

You also need to know how to talk with other people to learn what software to build, what it must do, how much effort is acceptable, how to manage the work, and many more things.

However, it is easy to swap lenses and the light seal is magnetically attached and easily swapped as well.

You can enable guest mode, but I can already tell you that it is annoying that every time Tyler wants to use the Vision Pro I have to put it on, authenticate, and then enable Guest Mode for him — where he then has to retrain it for his hands and eyes.

Actually, more than that, it is dangerous, addictive, and bad for you. It is today's cigarette. This section foretells that path.\n\n> The striking feature of the new social media is that they are no longer very social. Inspired by TikTok, apps like Facebook increasingly serve a diet of clips selected by artificial intelligence according to a user’s viewing behaviour, not their social connections. Meanwhile, people are posting less. The share of Americans who say they enjoy documenting their life online has fallen from 40% to 28% since 2020. Debate is moving to closed platforms, such as WhatsApp and Telegram.\n\nThis is exactly what happens when you set a bunch of people and algorithms with only one goal — capture peoples attention and time. That is the raw material monetized for Facebook's current $1,200,000,000,000 ($1.2 trillion, I thought it would be fun to put all the zeros there) valuation. \n\nThe part that nobody is talking about is the economics. Government regulation isn't the answer. Nor is tweaking an algorithm, unless we are going to decide that these companies should be forced to run less efficiently and less profitable than they could be run. That seems like a terrible idea. The fix is to bring economics into the solution, get people to pay, use micropayments for actions. All easily powered with Bitcoin Lightning or some other financial instrument ready today.\n\nUltimately that is also a dead end, because these platforms do not have enough value for people to pay. They will abandon in droves.\n\nThat is where it is different than cigarettes. Cigarettes people will pay a lot for. Social media is so hollow and useless nobody will even pay a penny.","saved":"2024-02-06T03:08:30Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"39844037645c204ea22466ff88700ac2","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/174dd522bd63/","kind":"page"},

This is incredible.\n\n> Although Starlink uses radio waves to beam high-speed internet to customers, SpaceX has also been outfitting the company’s satellites with a “laser link” system to help drive down latency and improve the system's global coverage. The lasers, which can sustain a 100Gbps connection per link, are especially crucial to helping the satellites fetch data when no SpaceX ground station is near, like over the ocean or Antarctic. Instead, the satellite can transmit the data to and from another Starlink satellite in Earth’s orbit, forming a mesh network in space.\n\nThis was the realm of Sci-fi until now. Impressive. If you roll this forward you can see the existing terrestrial Internet backbone, with a parallel orbital backbone, and data jumping from one to the other as needed.

Mostly aligns with what you would expect if you looked at the major trends in 2023. The recap is well stated:\n\n> This year was one of the few years that could genuinely be called disruptive. Generative AI will change this industry in important ways. Programmers won’t become obsolete, but programming as we know it might. Programming will have more to do with understanding problems and designing good solutions than specifying, step-by-step, what a computer needs to do. We’re not there yet, but we can certainly imagine a day when a human language description leads reliably to working code, when “Do what I meant, not what I said” ceases to be the programmer’s curse. That change has already begun, with tools like GitHub Copilot. But to thrive in that new industry, programmers will need to know more about architecture, more about design, more about human relations—and we’re only starting to see that in our data, primarily for topics like product management and communications skills. And perhaps that’s the definition of “disruptive”: when our systems and our expectations change faster than our ability to keep up. I’m not worried about programmers “losing their jobs to an AI,” and I really don’t see that concern among the many programmers I talk to. But whatever profession you’re in, you will lose out if you don’t keep up. That isn’t kind or humane; that’s capitalism. And perhaps I should have used ChatGPT to write this report.\n\nChange is the constant in technology.","saved":"2024-02-01T14:08:14Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"fca224afd112a7ff4bac864fa72b466d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d6ca2a74f413/","kind":"page"},

But I love how Siddiqi goes into much more detail and further reasoning.\n\n> There is no point to having a large backlog because the bigger the backlog, the higher the unvalidated assumptions, and the lower the chance that it creates any customer value.

When you sit down at your computer and see that the time is exactly right, you are benefiting from Network Time Protocol (NTP).\n\n> NTP provides the solution by allowing clocks of computers over a network to synchronize to a common time source. This synchronization is vital for everything from data integrity to network security. For example, NTP keeps network financial transaction timestamps accurate, and it ensures accurate and synchronized timestamps for logging and monitoring network activities.\n\nI have a fondness for NTP. For reasons I have no recollection about at some point in my Unix journey I had to compile NTP from source. I also had to figure out how to configure it and read about the different \"stratums\" of time servers. The fact that there were this series of computers around the world that were directly attached to atomic clocks and providing Stratum 0 time was really cool. And then to see how NTP analyzed your computers clock, and determined it’s \"drift\" over time so that it could self-correct was mind blowing.\n\nAdd on top of this that Mills went blind due to glaucoma and had to transition the software to another maintainer. I don't know if he ever made a dollar off of NTP, but it is an amazing show of the impact that one person, focused on a topic, can have.\n\nThank you David Mills. 🙏\n","saved":"2024-01-21T22:13:30Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"2f11488273bb9d4570a5bcb78f6b3ab1","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e1160973da55/","kind":"page"},

In short, she combines strong technical depth with a rich background in macroeconomic concepts and theories. In this article she assesses Bitcoin based on five major factors:\n\n> 1. Market Capitalization and Liquidity\n> 2. Number of Conversion Points\n> 3. Technical Security and Decentralization\n> 4. Quality of User Experience\n> 5. Legal Acceptance and Global Recognition\n\nThe whole article is a good read, and doesn't require any previous knowledge of Bitcoin. It is a reasonable primer for anyone. \n\nShe addresses the topic of Bitcoin volatility and frames it in a way that clarifies how to interpret it.\n\n> Bitcoin's notorious volatility is unlikely to diminish much until it's more liquid and more widely-held than it is now; there's no fix for bitcoin's volatility other than more time, more adoption, more liquidity, more understanding, and better user experience with the wallets, exchanges, and other applications. The asset itself is only changing slowly; it's the world's perception of it and the leverage built on top of it or ripped away from it that goes through manic and depressive cycles.\n\nShe also looks at the underlying technical functions of the network.\n\n> Bitcoin isn't magic. It's a distributed network protocol. For it to continue to be valuable, it has to function through opposition and attacks, and has to be the best and most liquid way to do it. The _concept_ of Bitcoin is insufficient to really matter for anything; it's the _reality_ of Bitcoin that is important\n\nTwo things I learned here were:\n\n1. The Bitcoin network has had 100% uptime since 2013. That is remarkable. \n2. Bitcoin has a 32-bit Unix timestamp issue, but it is an unsigned implementation so sometime before the year 2106 Bitcoin will need to figure that out. I’m not worried. 😁\n\nIn the last section she talks about the legal risk and government threat to Bitcoin. This is a lengthy excerpt, but I liked how she framed this topic up.\n\n> Instead, the biggest legal challenges for the Bitcoin network ahead are likely in the area of privacy, and by major governments like the United States. Governments really don't want people to have any sort of financial privacy, especially at scale. Financial privacy was the default for most of history, but in recent decades it's increasingly not.\n> \n> The premise from their perspective is that in order to prevent the 1% of bad people from doing terrorist financing or human trafficking or other bad things, 100% of people have to give up their rights to financial privacy and allow the government to surveil all transactions between all parties. In addition, governments have shifted much of their revenue toward income taxes, which rely on ubiquitous surveillance of all payment flows to enforce. But of course, such a thing can lead to massive overreach, and with grave consequences.\n> \n> In addition, we live in an age of surveillance capitalism. We are offered myriad free services by corporations if we sign away our digital soul, meaning all of our data. What we look at, and what we spend on, is very valuable commercial information. And governments enhance this and help make it the norm because they plug into the back-end and collect that data too. Sometimes it could be for national security reasons, and other times it could be to try to control the whole population (e.g. China's social credit scores).\n\nUltimately she gives it a grade of A-. Alden's recent book [Broken Money](https://www.amazon.com/Broken-Money-Financial-System-Failing/dp/B0CG8985FR) is on my shelf for an upcoming read.","saved":"2024-01-21T22:12:16Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"03be252bf56ef70a1b0b6a0562efe6bc","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c50d650447e9/","kind":"page"},

For years I savored every page of his Mac OS X reviews. He mostly podcasts on very long podcasts now, but occasionally we get a gem of a blog post like this. Siracusa takes a run at the challenge of intellectual property ownership behind Generative AI.\n\nHe frames this up in exactly the same way I have many times. \n\n> A human's creative work is inextricably linked to their life experiences: every piece of art they've ever seen, everything they've done, everyone they've ever met. And yet we still say the creative output of humans is worthy of [legal protection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright) (with some fairly narrow restrictions for works that are deemed insufficiently differentiated from existing works).\n> \n> Some say that generative AI is no different. Its output is inextricably linked to its \"life experience\" (training data). Everything it creates is influenced by everything it has ever seen. It's doing the same thing a human does, so why shouldn't its output be treated the same as a human's output?\n\nHe ultimately doesn't feel that this is a sufficient way to look at the problem. I agree, and how he breaks down the related topics is really good and interesting. Worth digging into and thinking about for yourself. \n\nI love how he closed.\n\n> I'm not sure what the right answer is, but I think I'm getting closer to the right question. It's a question I think we're all going to encounter a lot more frequently in the future: Who made this?\n\nIt is the right question, but in the age of AI what if it isn't answerable because there is no \"Who\". \n\n`null` made this?","saved":"2024-01-13T13:57:31Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"5ba2d409469b8b84422eb2349890f828","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/273f3baf3308/","kind":"page"},

(The researchers declined to specify which brands.) They found 110,000 to 370,000 tiny plastic particles in each liter, 90% of them nanoplastics.\n\nThis article made me think \"I should go read the original study that is cited.\" I did find it, but it was long and pretty impenetrable for me.

And by 1966 they had been delivering computers for 16 years.\n> \n> Minneapolis/St. Paul area companies ERA, Control Data and Cray would dominate the world of scientific computing and be an innovation cluster for computing until the mid-1980s. And then they were gone.\n> \n> Why?\n> \n> Just as Silicon Valley's roots can be traced to innovation in World War II so can Minneapolis/St. Paul's. The story starts with a company you probably never heard of -- **[Engineering Research Associates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_Research_Associates)**.\n\nBlank goes into great detail and shares the origin story of how this grows in Minnesota, and connects it as well to the future growth that I would assume part 2 will cover.\n\n> Seymour Cray would reuse features of the Bogart logic design when he designed the [Navy Tactical Data System computers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Tactical_Data_System), the [UNIVAC 490](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/USQ-17) and the Control Data Corporation's [CDC 1604](https://www.computerhistory.org/tdih/october/16/) and [CDC 160](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDC_160_series).\n> \n> By 1953, 40% of the University of Minnesota electrical engineering graduates -- including Cray -- were working for ERA.\n\nWhat an incredible concentration of talent. \n\n> But the era of Minnesota's role as a scientific computing and innovation cluster wasn't over. In fact, it was just getting started. In 1957 ERA co-founder William Norris, and Sperry-Univac engineers Seymour Cray, Willis Drake, and ERA's treasurer Arnold Ryden, along with a half dozen others, left Sperry-Univac and teamed up with three investors to form a new Minneapolis-based computer company: Control Data Corporation (CDC). For the next two decades Control Data would build the fastest scientific computers in the world.\n\nLooking forward to the next installment.

When you have meetings online, there are no physical constraints. From my own experiences I can see meetings have gotten larger. And I do think the fact that you don't need to find a new room, or order even more food for the larger group, contributes. There is no cost to the meeting organizer for adding more people, so people do.\n\nTwo things that we need:\n\n1. AI tools to summarize meetings so you can get caught up without being in them. This is here and coming to even more platforms.\n2. Some way of assessing a \"cost\" to the meeting organizer for the size and scope of the meeting.

For the first time, Wikifunctions will provide a library of functions that everyone, everywhere can access and contribute to. \n\n[Wikifunctions](https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifunctions:Main_Page) is interesting in part because it is functionally a bit different than other Wikimedia sites. Most of the functions I checked out you can run right on the site.","saved":"2023-12-07T16:57:50Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"14904d6374a8d1488732be9d17440d64","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4e17ef10b603/","kind":"page"},

I've shared articles in the past that hit on the same topic, and this one puts it together really well. One of the big reasons I write is to be a better writer. And if writing is thinking, you necessarily are becoming a better thinker. \n\n> Writing forces you to slow down, focus your attention, and [think deeply](https://fs.blog/how-to-think/). In a world where attention is fragmented in seconds, thinking becomes more reactive than reasoned. Only when we have time to play with a problem can we hope to think about it substantially. Writing requires sticking with something a little longer and developing a deeper understanding.\n\nRight there is what I have found such an improvement over social media. Social media prefers blurts of words that have impact. But thinking rarely happens in a single sentence. The power of clear thought, expressed in sentences and paragraphs, is incredible. \n\nAnd this section on PowerPoint is so spot on.\n\n> Most organizations see PowerPoint and writing as interchangeable. They are not. PowerPoint masks poor thinking. Just because presentations are easy to create doesn't mean the person creating them understands what they are talking about. If my experience is any indication, about 30-40% of people giving presentations lack more than a surface-level knowledge of what they are presenting. All the time spent making the presentation look good comes at the expense of wrestling with the problem and developing unique insights.\n\nI feel like I see this constantly. PowerPoint is a damaging tool to clear thought. I've seen countless slides over the years that look impressive, like they make a point and are for some reason meaningful. But if inspected, the \"bullets\" don't actually represent a complete thought. They hit on the high points and lose all the connective tissue.\n\nOne of the more worrisome things I've seen with our kids in school is how they use presentations (Google Slides, not PowerPoint — but the same thing) as part of a learning process. Slideware with bullets should be considered anti-learning.

His general push toward defensive technology is interesting.\n\n> Across the board, I see far too many plans to save the world that involve giving a small group of people extreme and opaque power and hoping that they use it wisely. And so I find myself drawn to a different philosophy, one that has detailed ideas for how to deal with risks, but which seeks to create and maintain a more democratic world and tries to avoid centralization as the go-to solution to our problems. **This philosophy also goes quite a bit broader than AI, and I would argue that it applies well even in worlds where AI risk concerns turn out to be largely unfounded**. I will refer to this philosophy by the name of **d/acc**.\n> \n> The \"d\" here can stand for many things; particularly, **defense**, **decentralization**, **democracy**and **differential**.

He limits the topic to just ad blocking, which I think is fine but keeps out the entire stack of surveillance software that comes along with ads. The argument that people running ad blockers are somehow hurting creators may in fact carry some water, but in my opinion no where near enough to change my mind.\n\nI would argue that give the incredibly complex surveillance engines that watch us online, not using a content blocker and other privacy protecting software is just a bad idea.\n\nLet's use a comparison. \n\n1. By running anti-spam software I’m technically harming all these spammers that wish to get some value out of shoving emails in my inbox. Is anti-spam software bad?\n2. By protecting myself from ransomware I’m technically limiting the revenue of criminal organizations looking to lock my computer on me and get some Bitcoin. \n\nThe argument is the same. The only difference is that one group is \"good guys\" and the other is \"bad guys\". The world is more grey than that. \n\nIf you have a simple ad network that doesn't surveil users I’m happy to let this ads in. However, I don't know anyway to test that.

The iPhone uses the main (1×) and ultra wide (0.5×) lenses for capture when shooting spatial video, and in fact, Apple changed the arrangement of the three lenses on the iPhone 15 Pro in part to support this feature.\r\n\r\nGruber isn't prone to hyperbole. If anything he is usually very critical and will nitpick any detail that he finds out of place. All of that makes his effusive comments on spatial video more impactful.\r\n\r\n> Nothing you've ever viewed on a screen, however, can prepare you for the experience of watching these spatial videos, especially the ones you will have shot yourself, of your own family and friends. They truly are more like memories than videos.\r\n\r\nWow, and then.\r\n\r\n> Prepare to be moved, emotionally, when you experience this.\r\n\r\nI can’t wait to experience this myself.\r\n\r\nIn preparation for getting the Vision Pro, which I am going to get as soon as available, I have been taking many more panoramas. When we were hiking in Switzerland I took several a day. So his similar positive comments on the panorama experience is enticing. \r\n\r\n> Panoramic photos viewed using Vision Pro are breathtaking.\r\n\r\nI like this conclusion.\r\n\r\n> As a basic rule, going forward, I plan to capture spatial videos of _people_, especially my family and dearest friends, and panoramic photos of _places_ I visit. It’s like teleportation.\r\n\r\nI’m bullish on the Vision Pro. I think this is an interesting category of device, but VR and gaming has never been distinctly my thing. Augmented reality and being able to do traditional productivity things is very interesting to me. Only time will tell, but I fully expect this to be an incredible device to use for a variety of things.\r\n\r\n> I came away more confident than ever that Vision Pro is going to be a great device for reading and writing -- and thus, well, _work_.\r\n\r\nI haven't had hands on experience like Gruber, but I agree with his conclusion.

I love how they are rethinking the entire experience and focusing on an ever present AI assistant. \n\nWill this be successful? I don't know. It is very early and I expect this will feel like a beta product. It also is glaringly obvious how platform advantage will help the existing mobile platforms. \n\nAm I going to get one? No, but I am going to keep an eye on it and how they iterate the device. Certainly has a potential to be the next Google Glass. Very cool experience. The computer vision example looking at food is really interesting.\n\nI was curious what Tyler might think so I watched the video again with him and he was really impressed.

Humane’s idea is to make these workflows (aka apps in smartphone terms) available to us through its myriad interfaces — primarily voice. \n> \n> And I buy this future! Why? Because I have seen the shift before. \n> \n> When the iPhone launched, there wasn’t a shortage of skeptics about the notion of a touch screen as an interface. I can still remember the hue-and-cry over a virtual keyboard. Fifteen years later, no one even flinches at the obviousness of a smartphone. In a few years — voice (thanks to the AI) will be part of our digital interaction reality.

I suspect using predefined GPTs will be a big win for broader adoption. I could imagine a future iteration of the ChatGPT app not starting with a prompt, but showing you the GPTs you have in your account and starting a conversation with the one you are looking for.\n\nThe Assistants API seems like another big win for adoption.

The article stays pretty surface level. Mainly they got a ton of creative collaborators to engage. It is notable that the team creating the experiences needed to do it all on location. When you are designing for something that has never existed that makes sense.\n\n> Characterised by a 90m tall circular exterior, covered in an LED screen, the Sphere contains a steeply raked auditorium, with the focal stage enveloped with a wraparound screen. Billed as the largest LED screen in the world, it comprises 268,435,456 pixels, the equivalent of 72 HD televisions. As the press pack points out, 'every minute of content produced for Sphere is the equivalent of one hour of streaming television'.\n\nI found this callout about the Sphere interesting.\n\n> akin to the whole audience having a VR experience\n\nI saw some video of the experience in the Sphere and came to a similar conclusion. It really is an Augmented Reality (AR) experience. It does it by putting you in this giant sphere filled with screens, instead of putting a headset on. Why is this interesting? Is it possible that this kind of experience becomes more the norm for concert experiences? Sitting in your house with the Apple Vision Pro headset isn't going to be the same as being in the Sphere, but could it be a little like it? Maybe. \n\nWith the growing cost of tickets to experiences like this, how are we ever going to make it so more people can have these. A future where only people with a lot of disposable income can experience concert performances sounds terrible. But will immersive experiences like this bridge the in-person experience to a digital experience that can be transmitted around the world? Maybe.

He's one of the people that I think it would be amazing to just have a cup of coffee with, even if I don't think I would understand much of what he was saying. This TED AI talk frames up some very large concepts that he has been working on for decades. The expanse of it is amazing for 18 minutes.\n\n> And I ended that talk with a question: is computation ultimately what's underneath everything in our universe?\n> \n> I gave myself a decade to find out. And actually it could have needed a century. But in April 2020--just after the decade mark--we were [thrilled to be able to announce](https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2020/04/finally-we-may-have-a-path-to-the-fundamental-theory-of-physics-and-its-beautiful/) what seems to be the [ultimate \"machine code\" of the universe](https://www.wolframphysics.org/).\n> \n> And, yes, it’s computational. So computation isn't just a possible formalization; it’s the ultimate one for our universe.\n\nWolfram later reflecting how how that affects are view of time… \n\n> Can one predict what will happen? No, there's what I call [computational irreducibility](https://www.wolframscience.com/nks/chap-12--the-principle-of-computational-equivalence#sect-12-6--computational-irreducibility): in effect the passage of time corresponds to an irreducible computation that we have to run to know how it will turn out.\n\nThen he blew my mind with this idea that we see the laws of the universe the way we do because they are the laws we would see, and that entities that had different characteristics would see different laws.\n\n> So then here's the big result. What [observers with those characteristics perceive](https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2021/03/what-is-consciousness-some-new-perspectives-from-our-physics-project/) in the ruliad necessarily follows certain laws. And those laws turn out to be precisely the three key theories of 20th-century physics: general relativity, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics and the [Second Law](https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/computational-foundations-for-the-second-law-of-thermodynamics/).\n> \n> It’s because we're observers like us that we perceive the laws of physics we do.\n\nAnd we are the LLMs?\n\n> You know, for much of human history we were kind of like LLMs, figuring things out by matching patterns in our minds. But then came more systematic formalization--and eventually computation. And with that we got a whole other level of power--to create truly new things, and in effect to go wherever we want in the ruliad.\n\nAnd lines like this are ones that give me great pause because he connects something to be incredibly true. \n\n> A society of AIs untethered by human input would effectively go off and explore the whole ruliad. But most of what they'd do would seem to us random and pointless. Much like now most of nature doesn't seem like it’s \"achieving a purpose\".\n\nHighly recommend taking 18 minutes to watch this, and then another 18 to watch it again. I often wonder how Wolfram will be viewed in a 100 years. Might he be an Einstein personality?

How will we ever be able to trust that the image we are looking at is actually a photograph and not just made up. Public Key cryptography does solve this problem using key pairs with signatures. This Leica M11-P has [C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity)](https://c2pa.org/) to show a verified signature chain all the way from the capture on the sensor to the user looking at the photo. \n\n> When you take a picture, the camera makes a little data package called a \"manifest\", which records a bunch of useful stuff like the time, the camera serial number, the name of the person who owns the camera, and so on. Then it runs a bunch of math over the private key and manifest data and the image pixels to produce a little binary blob called the \"signature\"; the process is called \"signing\". The manifest and the signature are stored inside the metadata (called \"EXIF\") that every digital photo has.\n\nYou are probably wondering the same thing I am, what about post processing? The above is great but then I pull it into Photoshop and all hope is lost. Actually, Photoshop is working on support too. \n\n> Now, suppose you change the photo in Photoshop and save it. It turns out that Photoshop already has (a beta version of) C2PA built in , and your copy on your own computer has its own private/public keypair. So, first of all, it can verify the incoming photo's signature. Then when you save the edited version, Photoshop keeps the old C2PA manifest but also adds another, and uses its own private key to sign a combination of the new manifest, the old manifest (and its signature), and the output pixels.\n> \n> There's enough information in there that if you have the public keys of my camera and my copy of Photoshop, you can verify that this was a photo from my camera that was processed with my Photoshop installation, and nobody else got in there to make any changes. Remember, \"signature chaining\"; it’s magic.\n\nThis is pretty incredible. With this signature chain you could be looking at a photo and see the entire chain of activity that has happened from the capture on the sensor to whatever you are seeing. \n\nI've been saying for a while that we need to start signing everything. And for what it’s worth, the most advanced, easy-to-use, and readily available signing system out there is Ethereum. \n\nQuoting myself from April 2023:\n\n> [As AI makes the Web more synthetic, Crypto will make it more human.](https://www.thingelstad.com/2023/04/27/assertion-as-ai.html)\n\nI think this signature chain for photos is phenomenal. Where Ethereum could do it even better is by knowing more about those intermediate signatures, and connecting it to Ethereum Name Service so I know what organizations are involved. \n\nAll very cool.","saved":"2023-11-01T00:52:07Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"403d8c6571b2da0a676b65cf980195ce","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c318a4122fdc/","kind":"page"},

I ultimately look back at the several years that I primarily engaged with Twitter and didn’t blog as much as a lost period. Blurting out 140 character tweets is nothing like writing real blog posts. \n\nThe Indie Web concept of POSSE is an attempt to bridge these worlds. This Verge article is a good introduction.\n\n> The answer, I think, lies in a decade-old idea about how to organize the internet. It’s called [POSSE: Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Everywhere](https://indieweb.org/POSSE). The idea is that you, the poster, should post on a website that you own. Not an app that can go away and take all your posts with it, not a platform with ever-shifting rules and algorithms. _Your website_. But people who want to read or watch or listen to or look at your posts can do that almost anywhere because your content is syndicated to all those platforms.\n\nI've used micro.blog since it launched and used it’s syndication features for a long time. \n\n> So for now, the best we have are tools like Micro.blog, a six-year-old platform for cross-posters. When you sign up for Micro.blog, you get your own blog (which the platform offers to connect to your own domain) and a way to automatically cross-post to Mastodon, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Medium, Pixelfed, Nostr, and Flickr.\n\nA while back I turned all of that off and no longer syndicate my posts anywhere. \n\nPOSSE is an interesting strategy but you need to be clear what you are trying to do. There are broadly three issues:\n\n1. Owning your own content, publishing with your own name, being efficient\n2. Minimizing distractions\n3. Supporting social media\n\nI think these kind of stack on top of each other. If the main thing you want is to make sure you content is on your own domain — [not your domain, not your words](https://www.thingelstad.com/2022/12/17/not-your-domain.html) — this sort of works. Note that syndicating your content to a social network does mean that you give them ownership of that copy of it. But most folks aren't really thinking about legal ownership. So, yes POSSE will help here.\n\nIf your focused on minimizing distractions of social media POSSE really doesn't help. In fact, I think it can make it worse by reducing the \"cost\" of sending content into multiple networks. That creates a mirage, because it is a really **bad idea** to syndicate your content to a social network and then completely ignore it. On one side it seems lame to not engage with people when they engage with you. Even worse, if there is some \"issue\" that arises from your post you should be aware. You can ultimately look like a robot.\n\nLastly, if you feel social networking is just bad overall and don't want to support it, you shouldn't syndicate your content into it. This is why I've turned all my syndication off. It is like being a member in a club you don't want to exist. \n\n\nOverall folks should do what they wish but I think many folks turn on POSSE capabilities without really thinking it through. I would just ask to consider how the syndication is affecting your writing and your attention. For example, I've noticed a trend of [writing for the timeline](https://www.thingelstad.com/2023/02/05/not-writing-for.html) when syndicating.\n","saved":"2023-10-26T02:28:31Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"20fde5e874fac66f192a053bc687d214","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/36cd921ed0fb/","kind":"page"},

In general, the explanation of \"what is wrong\" with the Internet is not much different than \"what is wrong\" with any large scale system or society. In a way, I don't know that we can anymore differentiate the Internet from society and culture. It is just another place that those things are expressed, no different than our physical places or the memes (to invoke the original Dawkins intent here) that exist in human societies. The internet is just us, and we are it. \n\nI do disagree with the way that Notopoulos invokes the term \"freedom\" here. It is a bit of a nod to the Free Software Foundation idea of \"free as in beer, not free as in speech\". There is nothing wrong with an insistence on freedom in my view, but I do agree that the lack of commercial mechanisms is a problem.\n\n> The internet's original sin was an insistence on freedom: it was made to be free, in many senses of the word. The internet wasn't initially set up for profit; it grew out of a communications medium intended for the military and academics.\n\nThe issue with commercialism on the web is bigger than the article suggests though. \n\n1. Yes, there was generally a push for free things and a non-commercial space. I think that was likely reinforced by the heavy academic hand in the early Internet.\n2. It was also true that credit cards were not as dominant at that time, and the security of the web was terrible and it would have been a bad idea to type your credit card number into a browser.\n\nSo you combine a lack of desire to build financial capability into the core protocols, and a lack of security to make it work for people to put credit cards online, but a need and desire to build businesses and the answer is, drum roll, **advertising**! \n\n> When we think of what's most obviously broken about the internet--harassment and abuse; its role in the rise of political extremism, polarization, and the spread of misinformation; the harmful effects of Instagram on the mental health of teenage girls--the connection to advertising may not seem immediate. And in fact, advertising can sometimes have a mitigating effect: Coca-Cola doesn't want to run ads next to Nazis, so platforms develop mechanisms to keep them away. \n> \n> But online advertising demands attention above all else, and it has ultimately enabled and nurtured all the worst of the worst kinds of stuff. Social platforms were incentivized to grow their user base and attract as many eyeballs as possible for as long as possible to serve ever more ads. Or, more accurately, to serve ever more you to advertisers. To accomplish this, the platforms have designed algorithms to keep us scrolling and clicking, the result of which has played into some of humanity's worst inclinations.\n> \n\nThis broken economic system with a third party, the advertiser, paying for the service that you as a customer are enjoying does need to change.\n\n> Anil Dash, a tech entrepreneur and blogging pioneer who worked at SixApart, the company that developed the blog software Movable Type, remembers a backlash when his company started charging for its services in the mid-'00s. \"People were like, 'You're charging money for something on the internet? That's disgusting!'\" he told MIT Technology Review. \"The shift from that to, like, _If you're not paying for the product, you're the product…_ I think if we had come up with that phrase sooner, then the whole thing would have been different. The whole social media era would have been different.\"\n> \n\nNotopoulos suggests two solutions for making things better: **paying for things you use** and **less centralization**.\n\nThe part that she misses on the financial side is that we need something that removes big platforms from the economics too. This is where the beauty of a digital cash like Bitcoin Lightning opens up a world of options that are amazing. If we insist on non-digital cash, mediated by Visa and other private companies, we are ultimately going to limit our freedom in the speech version, not the beer one. See my [Lightning: Fun, Fast, and Free-ish](https://www.thingelstad.com/2023/05/21/bitcoin-lightning-fun.html) and [Lightning Ideas](https://www.thingelstad.com/2023/05/25/lightning-ideas.html) for my thinking here.\n\nOn the big, I think that **bringing economics to the Internet** deeply, fundamentally into the protocols, is the cure for many ills.

It can also be delivered in the form of numbness: drips of endless, meaningless, shiny, shallow distraction that take the edge off your distress. TikTok specializes in this style of deliverance: swipe, swipe, swipe, until you temporarily dislocate from the moment.\n\nIn a small view we all use our smartphones to avoid feeling lonely or bored. Neither of those are feelings we enjoy, however they may bring us value. Push us to talk to strangers and do things in the real world that are better for us. If we never feel bored, what do we miss?\n\nIn a bigger sense, they may keep us from taking real action in the world that may better express our desires, interests, and goals.

Teams are still encouraged to adapt the practices for their unique circumstances, maintaining a common \"API\" to interface with other teams.\n\nThe key points are:\n\n- Be asynchronous first\n- Write things down\n- Make work visible and overcommunicate\n- Prefer GitHub tools and workflows\n- Embrace collaboration\n- Foster a culture that values documentation maintenance\n- Communicate openly, honestly, and authentically\n- Remember practicality beats purity\n\nThree things that stand out to me:\n\n1. Writing things down, being visible, overcommunicating, being asynchronous are expensive. Getting up on a whiteboard, scribbling in realtime, is fast and cheap. However, you will end up doing that 100 times. If you take the time to \"write things down\" you avoid the repetition.\n2. If you need proof that engineering is a team activity and not a lone coder with a hoody in a dark room, here it is. Nothing of substance gets built by a single person.\n3. Remember that you are communicating with people who have different backgrounds, experiences, and cultures to you. You need to write and structure your thinking in a way that will work across all of those people.\n\nA good representation of \"write things down\" to put this together.

If you launched a social network today, with a good enough budget, you could have 100,000 bot users in there immediately so even the first user would feel like there were a lot of other people here. Only they aren't people, they are AIs.\n\n> More significantly, I think, is the idea that Meta plans to place its AI characters on every major surface of its products. They have Facebook pages and Instagram accounts; you will message them in the same inbox that you message your friends and family. Soon, I imagine they will be making Reels.\n> \n> And when that happens, feeds that were once defined by the connections they enabled between human beings will have become something else: a partially synthetic social network.\n\nThis seems obvious. Game networks have done this for a while. If you have a multiplayer game you need to have an option for people that want to play when everyone else is sleeping. Bot players serve that purpose well. Of course having a bot play a game is entirely different than a conversational AI with a profile, history, photos, and everything else that could go with it.\n\nThis is one of the risks Ian Bremmer highlighted in [Weapons of Mass Disruption](https://www.eurasiagroup.net/live-post/top-risks-2023-3-Weapons-of-mass-disruption). Where this goes is anybody's guess. \n\nAlso see [Introducing New AI Experiences Across Our Family of Apps and Devices](https://about.fb.com/news/2023/09/introducing-ai-powered-assistants-characters-and-creative-tools/) where Facebook highlights the 28 more AI characters.

Alden is keen to apply a technology lens to this, and extends to what we are likely going to need in the future.\n\n> Nature’s ledger (gold) has robust parameters for supply and debasement but doesn’t move and get verified fast enough in the telecommunication age. Mankind’s ledger (the dollar) moves and gets verified fast enough but doesn’t have robust parameters for supply and debasement. The only way to fix this speed gap in the long run would be to develop a way for a widely accepted, scarce, monetary bearer asset itself to also be able to settle over long distances at the speed of light. In other words, something like bitcoin.\n\nAn interesting read. The nuance of settlement is critical, and one that many forget. I know when I've shown people Bitcoin Lightning sometimes they say \"Well, I can do that on Venmo.\" But no you can’t. Bitcoin settles immediately, the transaction is done. Venmo takes 1-3 days for the cash to move.

I also like to have \"the talk\" with individuals that suggest they want to pursue a management path. I think it is critical, particularly in technology, for people to realize that where they feel self-worth as a manager will be different than as an individual.

The steady and rapid rise of subscription offerings. Mostly the article is focusing on Substack newsletters and OnlyFans because there is data for that. But I would suggest this applies to any content subscriptions.\n2. The extreme distribution of all subscription profits being at the top 10-20 of content providers on any of these platforms. The average author makes next to nothing. The top few take the vast majority of all the revenue.\n\n> It is an idyllic, almost utopian, perspective. There is an imagined logic at play, entirely divorced from reality. In the world where Substack were an expeditious route to “more people” being able to “make a good and profitable career out of writing”, we would also live in a world where you bought your lamp chops from a butcher, your baguette from a bakery, your stilton from a cheesemonger and your wine from a vintner, rather than just everything from a supermarket. The fact that there was a period, in the 90s and 00s, when consumers seemed to repudiate newspapers — the supermarkets of journalism — did not mean that the idea was wrong, but that the sale mechanic was at fault. Just as supermarkets have iterated, in the same period, to introduce self-service and home delivery, so too should the more endangered business of journalism. To think that long term stability is in returning to individual shopkeepers, and raising prices for consumers, is regression masking as progress.\n\nHe doesn't talk about the insane number of streaming platforms out there, but that is another subscription situation and it is hitting the same logic. I cut the cord on cable two decades ago, but now my multitude of streaming solutions cost me nearly as much, and the user experience is frustrating since I now have to use a dozen solutions all with different user experiences.","saved":"2023-09-13T23:53:23Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"cf50f89d80066c5850a970b31185e86f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c984eac051a1/","kind":"page"},

I read [Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0062301233/) in 2016 and liked it a lot. This list of pull-quotes is not that interesting, except this one that I thought was very interesting.\n\n> Production sprints and struggles at Tesla and the space exploration company SpaceX also sharpened Mr. Musk’s philosophy, which he distilled into a five-step approach that he called “the algorithm” and which he repeatedly invoked to employees. It involved, in order: questioning requirements, deleting parts or processes, simplifying and optimizing, accelerating processes, and, finally, automating. “I became a broken record on the algorithm,” Mr. Musk told Mr. Isaacson.\n\nThis loop is super interesting to me as it hits on something that most engineers struggle with, scope and solution expansion. Some quick perspective.\n\n**Questioning Requirements**: Requirements are too often assumed to be valid. If you start with a broad and wide set of requirements the solution becomes geometrically more complicated.  \n**Deleting Parts or Processes**: Explicitly remove things. What is the simplest set of solutions to meet the requirements.  \n**Simplifying and Optimizing**: Simplify. Engineers are driven to complexity like a moth to a flame. It invigorates the mind. It is a fun puzzle.  \n**Accelerating Processes**: Speed matters. Specifically identify where you can go faster.  \n**Automating**: Now that the solution is clear, how can it be automated to make it more efficient.  \n\nThis is an interesting loop, and a great set of questions to ask.","saved":"2023-09-12T01:13:48Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e5652f90db956cced503efa94b1670ba","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c7f3c4c73566/","kind":"page"},

Clearly, I’m not critically ignoring this topic! 🤔 There has been some, but not enough, focus on how we might help people identify misinformation and propaganda. That is a good skill, but you can make that easier if you add a filter of ignoring before that. \n\n> Low-quality and misleading information online can hijack people’s attention, often by evoking curiosity, outrage, or anger. Resisting certain types of information and actors online requires people to adopt new mental habits that help them avoid being tempted by attention-grabbing and potentially harmful content. We argue that digital information literacy must include the competence of critical ignoring—choosing what to ignore and where to invest one’s limited attentional capacities.\n\nBeing thoughtful about what you choose to even engage with, and then applying critical thinking to what is left is the strategy that I've been employing for a while and think works great. This is one of the reasons I love the RSS ecosystem for getting new information. I choose what goes in, so it limits the need to ignore much of anything. \n\n> We review three types of cognitive strategies for implementing critical ignoring: **self-nudging**, in which one ignores temptations by removing them from one’s digital environments; **lateral reading**, in which one vets information by leaving the source and verifying its credibility elsewhere online; and the **do-not-feed-the-trolls heuristic**, which advises one to not reward malicious actors with attention.\n\nOne of the best reasons to get off of social media? It makes critical ignoring very, very difficult to do.","saved":"2023-09-12T01:13:10Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"47847b17ec7ef72fb716d120304b8a4f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ec88ecaf4ceb/","kind":"page"},

Hello AWS US-East-1! 👋 But it isn't just the cloud, there are a large number of data center facilities in that area. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with why America Online was there.\n\n> Hartnett attributes the region’s continued global dominance in the industry to a combination of factors: favorable state tax incentives for the industry, a skilled workforce, access to relatively cheap electricity and land, and, most significantly, an extensive fiber network that dates to the region’s role as the birthplace of the internet.\n> \n> All that has resulted in Northern Virginia’s staggering 47.7 million square feet of data center space, with 6.7 million square feet under construction and another 45 million planned.\n\nNearly 50 million square feet of space, and the growth continues.\n\nThis concentration is probably helpful in some ways. Imagine how many of the worlds most expert power and cooling technicians are in that area. Or the network engineering talent. If you love technology and don't want to get rid of the Leatherman on your belt, Virginia is the place to be! \n\nBut this level of concentration seems like a bad idea too. How do you get that much power into such a small space. And colocation risk alone is bad for all sorts of reasons — natural disasters, terrorist activity, military target.\n\nIt would be great to see a microdatacenter movement, powered by renewable energy. Take the computers to where the wind and sun are. But the efficiencies of \"Virginia Scale\" are hard to overcome.","saved":"2023-09-11T02:52:01Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3f3fae26c59875f430c760822c0d8d20","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/fef1e0d9c8eb/","kind":"page"},

No thanks, I’d prefer alignment. | Lee Zukor","note":"Good article from friend and Weekly Thing reader Lee Zukor on product and engineering alignment.\n\n> The problem, I think, is in the assumption that Product and Engineering teams inherently have different goals. They don’t – or at least they shouldn’t. Both teams are responsible for the growth and stability of the company, for revenue and scalability. Neither can succeed without the other.\n\nHe is spot on about this, and the idea that pushing both ways will somehow create more is so low value that it doesn't even show up on a scale compared to the value of an aligned team, all focused on winning.","saved":"2023-09-11T02:51:23Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"76eb5a002ff06075f35c5e41765ff68b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f9796dc9f15f/","kind":"page"},

It is really interesting to consider how this could change how we engage with computers.\n\n> As I mentioned, in command-based interactions, the user issues commands to the computer one at a time, gradually producing the desired result (if the design has sufficient usability to allow people to understand what commands to issue at each step). The computer is fully obedient and does exactly what it’s told. The downside is that low usability often causes users to issue commands that do something different than what the users really want.\n> \n> With the new AI systems, the user no longer tells the computer what to do. Rather, the user tells the computer what outcome they want. Thus, the third UI paradigm, represented by current generative AI, is intent-based outcome specification.\n\nI do find that working with ChatGPT feels so very different, even than previous voice systems that are really command-like.

I find that it is both too easy to make up your mind, and too hard to change it once made up.\n\n> Beliefs take effort and investment, and it hurts to realize that there may be limited ROI on your hard-fought convictions. For a lot of things in life – particularly politics, investing, and relationships – people don’t necessarily want the truth; they want certainty. Changing your mind is hard because it’s an admission that the certainty you once thought you held was an illusion. The path of least resistance is to cling to beliefs for dear life.\n> \n> A question I love to ask people is, “What have you changed your mind about in the last decade?” I use “decade” because it pushes you into thinking about big things, not who you think will win the Super Bowl.\n\nThis is a great question to consider journaling about. \n\n> Be careful what beliefs you let become part of your identity. Religion and politics are contentious because almost by definition your beliefs are part of your identity – you’re not just dealing with ideas and philosophies, but tribes and belonging.\n\nThis specific call out is incredibly important to me. It also connects well with the mindfulness concept of keeping your identity small, as small as you can reasonably make it. Changing your mind is nothing compared to changing your identity. \n\nI also think the article misses a key aspect of identity, and that is that marketers have figured out how to slip things into your identity. The callout of politics and religion is valid, but these days nearly anything can be sold to you as a component of your identity. Don't buy it.","saved":"2023-06-14T04:22:48Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"ee0c20c75ad46f3a38154ee9b7143a84","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/97f230270a95/","kind":"page"},

This article does a better job in fewer words than much of what I've read does in describing the argument. \n\n> Now let’s turn to the East. Buddhism, Taoism, the Advaita Vedanta school of Hinduism, and other schools of Eastern thought have quite a different take on the self, the ego, or “me.” They say that this idea of “me” is a fiction, although a very convincing one. Buddhism has a word for this concept — anatta, which is often translated as “no self” — which is one of the most fundamental tenets of Buddhism, if not the most important.\n> \n> This idea sounds radical, even nonsensical, to those who are trained in Western traditions. It seems to contradict our everyday experience, indeed our whole sense of being. But in Buddhism and other schools of Eastern thought, the concept of the self is seen as the result of the thinking mind. The thinking mind reinvents the self from moment to moment such that it in no way resembles the stable coherent self most believe it to be.\n> \n> Put another way, it is the process of thinking that creates the self, rather than there being a self having any independent existence separate from thought. The self is more like a verb than a noun. To take it a step further, the implication is that without thought, the self does not, in fact, exist. In the same way that walking only exists while one is walking, the self only exists while there are thoughts about it. As a neuropsychologist, I can say that in my view, science is just now catching up with what Buddhist, Taoist, and Advaita Vedanta Hinduism have been teaching for over 2,500 years.\n\nIt continues to describe how particularly your left brain will create story ad infinitum.\n\n> The truth is that your left brain has been interpreting reality for you your whole life, and if you are like most people, you have never understood the full implications of this. This is because we mistake the story of who we think we are for who we truly are. \n\nThe acting of thinking invokes the story of the self.","saved":"2023-06-14T04:21:01Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2e1ab0e46d93134ee48d91fec979afca","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/76261d6ebd8c/","kind":"page"},

Many of the reasons he discounts a number of AI risks are similar to mine, and overall I agree that the positive potential of AI is huge, if only to make computers more humane to protect our own humanity!\n\n> What AI offers us is the opportunity to profoundly augment human intelligence to make all of these outcomes of intelligence – and many others, from the creation of new medicines to ways to solve climate change to technologies to reach the stars – much, much better from here.\n\nHe does address employment as well, which [I've thought about again with AI](https://www.thingelstad.com/2023/05/01/a-thesis-ive.html).\n\n> To summarize, technology empowers people to be more productive. This causes the prices for existing goods and services to fall, and for wages to rise. This in turn causes economic growth and job growth, while motivating the creation of new jobs and new industries. If a market economy is allowed to function normally and if technology is allowed to be introduced freely, this is a perpetual upward cycle that never ends. For, as Milton Friedman observed, “Human wants and needs are endless” – we always want more than we have. A technology-infused market economy is the way we get closer to delivering everything everyone could conceivably want, but never all the way there. And **that is why technology doesn’t destroy jobs and never will**.\n\nHis argument is good, and I think represents our experiences thus far. I added the bolding at the end, because I think \"past performance isn't a guarantee of future performance\". Certainly there are types and amounts of technology innovation that does just as he describes. But ultimately you're playing to Limit Theory games — infinite need and desire, infinite technology leverage. Are they both infinite? Are they both guaranteed to be dependent and timed together? One has external needs like energy and atoms, the other is originated in our minds. 🤔","saved":"2023-06-14T04:20:08Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4e06938239bc3765c16c43dc9cfafcf3","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4fb279977d5c/","kind":"page"},

Well, sometimes just using the description will indeed work fine. But often it won’t. Sometimes that’s because one needs to clarify further what one wants. Sometimes it’s because there are not-immediately-obvious corner cases to cover. And sometimes there’s just a certain amount of “LLM wrangling” to be done.

Gruber knows the Apple world better than anyone else. He is also demanding of details, and focuses on the experience.\n\n> Vision Pro and VisionOS feel like they've been pulled forward in time from the future. I haven't had that feeling about a new product since the original iPhone in 2007. There are several aspects of the experience that felt impossible.\n\nThat \"felt impossible\" is where magic can happen. 🪄\n\nHis take on the \"pass through\" view when you put Vision Pro on.\n\n> Again, it doesn't look at all like looking at screens inside a headset. It looks like reality, albeit through something like a pair of safety glasses or a large face-covering clear shield. There is no border in the field of vision -- your field of view through Vision Pro exactly matches what you see through your eyes without it. Most impressively, and uncannily, the field of view seemingly _exactly_ matches what you see naturally. It's not even slightly wider angle, or even slightly more telephoto\n\nThe ability to present you with a view of the real world that maps exactly with what you see normally seems very important. It should limit any disorientation, and allow you to navigate the environment with little modification.\n\n> If anything is going to seem weird or wrong about long-form reading in VisionOS, it's not the visual fidelity, but rather the fact that I've never once in my life read an article or email message in a window that appeared 4 or 5 feet tall.\n\nMultiple times in Gruber's review he goes to the lack of limits when you are in an AR environment. I doubt this can be fully appreciated without experiencing it first hand. But this removal of limits is interesting to me. With a good enough experience, do you trend to a future where you ditch the large monitors and just put a Vision Pro on with a keyboard and do your computer stuff? That seems like a clear path.\n\n> Then, a dinosaur -- a velociraptor-looking thing, seemingly about 9 or 10 feet tall -- approached the \"portal\" in the wall and came halfway through into the room. I was invited to stand up from the couch and approach it. There was a coffee table in front of the couch, a possible shin-banging accident waiting to happen, but the pass-through video experience is so seamless, so natural, so much like just looking through glasses, not looking at a screen inside a headset, that it took no concentration or carefulness at all on my part to stand up and walk around the coffee table and approach the dinosaur. The dinosaur was not pre-recorded. It reacted, live, to me, keeping eye contact with me at all times. It was spooky, and a significant part of my own lizard brain was instinctively _very_ alarmed. I got extremely close to the dinosaur's head, and the illusion that it was real never broke down. Even up close, there was no sign that it was composed of polygons stitched together or something. It looked like a 10-foot tall dinosaur that could kill me with a snap of its jaws, right there in the room with me, as close to my face as the MacBook Pro display on which I'm writing these words is right now.\n\nThe dinosaur experience is similar to that done on other headsets, but I’m curious to see if the significantly improved experience of the Vision Pro makes this so much more believable. Existing VR experiences I've done have always been obviously digital, and obviously not real.\n\n> I walked away from my demo more than a bit discombobulated. Not because it was disorienting or even the least bit nauseating, but because it was so unlike anything I've ever experienced.\n\nI can’t wait to try this thing myself. \n\nThere are a number of other Vision Pro reviews that I thought were good reads as well: \n\n- [I wore the Apple Vision Pro.

I appreciate that he hits on the user experience, as well as the technology, and the worries around isolation. \n\n> Apple Vision is _technically_ a VR device that _experientially_ is an AR device, and it's one of those solutions that, once you have experienced it, is so obviously the correct implementation that it's hard to believe there was ever any other possible approach to the general concept of computerized glasses.\n\nThompson's \"so obviously\" comment here caught my attention. This is a pattern I've come to appreciate as a technologist. There are times that you **use** a technology (not read about it, use it) and you realize it is so much better than the existing solution that it is obviously going to replace it. The trick of course is that doesn't mean it will happen fast, or be easy, but it will. My personal experiences in that realm:\n\n- First time I replaced a spinning hard drive with an SSD\n- First time I drove a fully electric car\n- First time I transferred value with crypto\n\nThompson also goes to a desktop experience for Vision Pro.\n\n> At the risk of over-indexing on my own experience, I am a huge fan of multiple monitors: I have four at my desk, and it is frustrating to be on the road right now typing this on a laptop screen. I would absolutely pay for a device to have a huge workspace with me anywhere I go, and while I will reserve judgment until I actually use a Vision Pro, I could see it being better at my desk as well.\n\nI do keep pondering this use case, and Thompson doubles down on it. The Vision Pro experience for work is really interesting. It used to be fancy for office workers to have two good monitors. The productivity benefit is real. How will it feel for a software developer to have their entire coding environment floating in space in front of them with significantly more visual room around them? \n\n> To put it even more strongly, the Vision Pro is, I suspect, the future of the Mac.\n\nThis is not an obvious path, but I think he is on the right one. Vision Pro isn't a mobile experience really. \n\n> I am completely serious when I say that I would pay the NBA thousands of dollars to get a season pass to watch games captured in this way. Yes, that's a crazy statement to make, but courtside seats cost that much or more, and that 10-second clip was shockingly close to the real thing.\n\nI had to pull this out becuase I had the same thought. Experiencing sports on the Vision Pro seems like a giant opportunity. If you can start broadcasting games in 3D the market for people to pay significantly more to \"be there\" in AR is huge. As a soccer fan if I could experience games from perspectives impossible in any other way I would love it. However, you need a way for multiple people to join in that which could be done online. \n","saved":"2023-06-08T01:03:52Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"f228901ce764a63c2a58d715ffb1bc2a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6ed06b5244ed/","kind":"page"},

I've been playing with Nostr for a few weeks and it has some interesting capabilities. Micro.blog recently added syndication support for Nostr as well, [which I turned on](https://www.thingelstad.com/2023/05/31/today-microblog-added.html). Nostr feels much more like using a protocol than using a specific service. It feels more like SMTP or HTTP than Twitter. The work and experience is up to the client, and using a client like [Damus](https://damus.io) feels a lot like Twitter with some unique twists due to the decentralized nature. For example, you don't really know who or how many people follow you. Just like the Web. You publish, and others read.\n\nThe addition of micropayments via Zaps is very interesting as well.\n\n> it has developed a secret weapon: the ability to transfer bitcoin among users. Already 500,000 daily Nostr [users](https://stats.nostr.band/) have sent each other 792,000 tiny bitcoin transactions called zaps, worth $1.9 million, with dozens of companies building new applications.\n\nThe problem for most (all?) protocols is that economics are ignored and that usually means at the end you have to shrug and surveil people for advertising. A robust, friction-free and global micropayments system built on Bitcoin and Lightning is well integrated into Nostr as Zaps. I've sent and received a bunch of Zaps. This is truly novel amongst similar protocols and has the potential to create an economically viable protocol that doesn't need external support, as well as introducing an intentionally limited asset into the system to better validate activity as not-spam and importance.\n\n> Before the year was over @Fiatjaf's ideas had matured into what he calls the [Nostr Manifesto](https://fiatjaf.com/nostr.html), describing an open, censorship-resistant global social network. Computers that send short messages to each other and comprise the lowest layer of the network are called relays. Applications, like a social network or a marketplace built on top of the relays are called clients. Instead of the public key identifying a token like bitcoin it defines a user, and there is no underlying blockchain. Nostr is just a series of instructions for how to build interoperable applications.\n\nThis again reinforces the protocol aspect. Nostr can power a wide variety of applications.\n\n> But in April 2022 a slow trickle of new users became a downpour. Bitcoin engineer, William Casarin, 34, launched Vancouver, British Columbia-based Damus (as in Nostr-damus) on the Nostr protocol. Initially, it was a weekend project that simplified accessing Nostr in a Twitter-like environment. He incorporated Damus at the end of 2022, and in January, Apple admitted Damus to its App Store. Casarin, who previously worked at bitcoin infrastructure firm Blockstream devised a way for Nostr users to send the tiny bitcoin payments called zaps via the Lightning network. Shortly thereafter, @Fiatjaf added Casarin's upgrade to the Nostr protocol, letting anyone build to the same specifications.\n\nI [met Will at Bitcoin 2023](https://www.thingelstad.com/2023/05/19/got-to-meet.html) after [the Nostr session](https://www.thingelstad.com/2023/05/19/great-session-nostr.html). [Damus](https://damus.io) is for sure one of the most user friendly experiences on Nostr. Pair it with a Lightning wallet for micropayments and you have a great way to experience how this works.","saved":"2023-06-02T02:13:00Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"96b07a7d402ff649aeb1bff5ee354b17","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9eec2016c8e2/","kind":"page"},

Next, Stephen Farrell reviews the technical community's reactions, technical advances, and where threats remain. Then Farzaneh Badii discusses the impact of those advances – or lack thereof – on human rights. Finally Steven M. Bellovin puts the Snowden revelations into an ever-evolving historical context of secrets and secret stealing that spans centuries, closing with some suggestions for IETF.\n\nThis reads like four different articles (blog posts?) put together into one paper with sections. I found section 5, the article from Bellovin on Governments and Cryptography the most interesting. \n\n> Strong cryptography was here to stay, and it was no longer an American monopoly, if indeed it ever was. The Information Assurance Directorate of the NSA, the part of the agency that is supposed to protect U.S. data, was pleased by the spread of strong cryptography. When the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) competition was held, there were no allegations of malign NSA interference; in fact, the winning entry was devised by two Europeans, Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen. But the NSA and its SIGINT needs did not go away—the agency merely adopted other techniques.\n\nAlso would agree strongly with the point in section 3 by Farrell:\n\n> In particular, we (the technical community) haven't done nearly as good a job at countering surveillance capitalism which has exploded in the last decade.\n\nInteresting perspective from an important body, the IETF.

A crucial aspect of bcrypt's resistance to GPU optimization lies in its memory access pattern spanning 4KB during the key setup phase, which is inefficient to parallelize on GPUs with small L1 caches (Malvoni et al., 2014).  That said, NVidia increased the L1 cache significantly to 16MB for the RTX 4090 and bcrypt’s 4KB is a tiny amount of memory these days.\n\nGood passwords with a good hash and a strong second factor are pretty hard to get by, even today.","saved":"2023-06-02T02:12:11Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7405b3a3c5948384696723f96224c26e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e705853351d9/","kind":"page"},

One of my all-time favorites. I didn’t realize that it had this complicated timing. I love when folks go deep on something that they really are into.\n\n> As you can see, Metallica’s timing keeps pretty consistently to .15 seconds for an eighth note and .29 seconds for a quarter (or two eighth notes), except for the middle of the 5/8 measure. After the first three eighth notes of this measure, you can hear a brief pause before the last two eighth notes, a pause which is almost always .04 or .05 seconds (about a third of an eighth note), and which makes the measurement of these two eighth notes grouped together .34 or .35 seconds. What makes this rhythmic idiosyncracy different from what has been studied by most music theorists is that this slightly attenuated beat is performed by the whole ensemble in unison, and it’s not a delay that is “made up for” right afterwards. In other words, it’s not a local deviation from the beat that maintains the pulse over a longer span of music, but a permanent shift of where the beat occurs.\n\nAnd what is the result?\n\n> This kind of visceral reaction entirely depends on the “inexact” timing Metallica uses, and the way it upsets with the movement of my headbanging body, for its effect.\n\nYes! 🤘","saved":"2023-06-02T02:11:09Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"5a42b85a4379953e5ed084c37ffec12a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b093175c9ec9/","kind":"page"},

Once the sale is consummated, Google earns three different fees: one for serving as the seller's agent, another for serving as the buyer's agent, and a third for the use of its marketplace.\n\nThis creates many problems.\n\n> The ad-tech market isn't a market at all: it’s a [big store con](http://www.amyreading.com/the-9-stages-of-the-big-con.html) where everyone the publisher sees is in on the game: the buyer's agent, the seller's agent and the marketplace where they bring the publisher's product are all run by a single company, or by two companies that have secretly agreed not to compete. If you can’t spot the sucker at the poker-table…_you're_ the sucker.\n> \n> _That's_ how ad-tech grew to consume more than _half_ of all the ad dollars spent. They _stole_ it.\n> \n> This needs to be fixed. The actually illegal stuff - market rigging - is the kind of thing that antitrust enforcers frequently look after. [They're on it](https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/cases-proceedings/191-0134-facebook-inc-ftc-v).\n\nThis approach to break these functions into different organizations could be a benefit, but I’m highly skeptical we'll see it happen. These are the most valuable companies that have ever existed.\n\nInstead of reforming advertising, I think that \"original sin\" needs to be shed entirely. Even if the various parts of this stack were not self-dealing, it still creates bad incentives to drive page views over everything else and ever more sensational content. Micropayments solutions like Bitcoin Lightning that are immediate, free, and censorship resistant could be huge for news organizations. Not only ridding themselves of the page view incentive, but also making them resilient to their funding being disintermediated.","saved":"2023-05-25T18:39:21Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"8a125a22057c4a6474e0eeaefffc0b2b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ecafd87e5831/","kind":"page"},

Yes he does.\n\nHis clarification of \"disruptive innovation\" and \"sustaining technology\" is a very interesting take.\n\n> Or maybe not. I tend to believe that disruptive innovations are actually quite rare, but when they come, they are basically impossible for the incumbent company to respond to: their business models, shareholders, and most important customers make it impossible for management to respond. If that is true, though, then an incumbent responding is in fact evidence that an innovation is actually not disruptive, but sustaining.\n> \n> To that end, I take this Google I/O as evidence that AI is in fact a sustaining technology for all of Big Tech, including Google. Moreover, if that is the case, then that is a reason to be less bearish on the search company, because all of the reasons to expect them to have a leadership position — from capabilities to data to infrastructure to a plethora of consumer touch points — remain. Still, the challenges facing search as presently constructed — particularly its ad model — remain.\n\nI have said, as have many, that AI will disrupt industries. But Thompson's take on why AI is very likely \"sustaining technology\" is a compelling one. Can there be both? I think yes, but perhaps a sustaining technology disrupts industries because some companies are better at adopting than others? Said another way, it becomes table stakes everyone has to have and it takes the slow and weak out, but doesn't fundamentally allow a breakout from \"the front\"? \n\nThe mere speed at which established tech companies are bringing AI into their solutions certainly reinforces the view that it is sustaining technology. The web wasn't adopted this fast. And consider how slow crypto adoption has been in big tech, is that a sign of disruptive innovation?\n\nThe shift towards the 2nd half of this essay into regulation and reformation is also interesting. I think we've seen this play out enough that it is fair to assert that when you have big established companies asking for regulation they see it as a way of securing their market position. The more AI is regulated at this point, the less innovation and disruption we'll see. \n\nVery thought provoking.

There is no one-size-fits-all. Instead, these building blocks work best in conjunction with one another to form a holistic identity.

These wallets are the ‘portal’ where one can link their ENS to their public address, hold their digital collectibles, and view their POAPs, SBTs and VCs.\n> \n> Some digital identity wallets also enable the creation and registration of one’s DID, enabling users to also claim and share their VCs from their wallet. Wallets are the access point that enable users to start building their digital identity.

In specific commercial usage of the protocol, they would be charging licensing fees. Not large fees, and not in all cases. But, in some small way, they would be restricting access.\n\nThe Web was better technology in my opinion, but it highlights how adding even a little bit of friction or cost can change the trajectory of solutions in radical ways.","saved":"2023-05-04T21:30:28Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4a2ca4fc44fa2c3fdefa191f5cc362f3","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7950b4398d6c/","kind":"page"},

Expect a tidal wave of spam, identity theft, phishing, ransomware [over the next 36 months](https://twitter.com/DavidSHolz/status/1648763335591223296?s=20).\n\nThis article pulls from the Fred Wilson article [Sign Everything](https://avc.mirror.xyz/JpTblGUpDMA7SMS6HYdoYgbQE9H_a_wYq330pit_aRU) that I shared previously, but then dives into how this would work and how we can make it happen. Funny enough this is all leveraging PGP and Public Key Cryptography that was created over twenty years ago! \n\nThis is one of those articles that I read and wish I would have wrote — but I don't think I could have done it was well as Brander!\n\n> Centralized approaches to moderation just don't scale. They don't have the [requisite variety](https://subconscious.substack.com/i/37645825/the-infinite-variety-of-universal-machines) to actually moderate. There's a reason we no longer live in castles, after all. Castles only work in the small.\n\nContinuing…\n\n> The answer to this dilemma was [zero-trust networking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_trust_security_model). Forget the castle wall entirely. Rebuild trust around people.\n> \n> We did this with networks. Now it’s time to do the same with sign-ins, authorization, identity, reputation. Sign everything, with [self-sovereign keys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-sovereign_identity) that only you control.\n\nI like so much about this approach, but I think the path forward is slightly different. The approach described here around Web of Trust was tried two decades ago, and it never got traction. Signing public keys and trading them was just too hard. \n\nIn fact, when I decided to include my signature in each issue of the Weekly Thing I explored using PGP to do that. I ultimately decided that Ethereum was just a much easier way to solve this problem. So many of the ingredients are already there in the Crypto (Web 3) stack.\n\n> The combination of open webs-of-trust, reputation, and attestation create the ground conditions for positive-sum collaboration. [Communication between keys becomes a repeated game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma#The_iterated_prisoner's_dilemma). Bad actors get a bad reputation. Free-riding stops working. The winning move becomes win-win cooperation.\n\nEthereum gives us authentication. It has a means of signing. It can be connected to a usable name via ENS. Plus you have the added benefit of an entire blockchain and EVM to build on. The only thing I don't see in Ethereum is the ability to sign another persons public key. However, the same outcome could be achieved by exchanging a POAP or signing a message shared between each other. \n\nThe path forward to Sign Everything has the most potential in Ethereum, in my opinion.

As I've thought about it I was a little surprised to find that I ended up having to consider Section 230 law as well. Section 230 is the law that provides protection from liability for content that users create at websites. It generally is what social media firms use to argue that they aren't liable for the harm that they often do to people. \n\nThe connection to AI for me is that I have long had the view that Section 230 should be upheld, but that the protection it provides should be removed when the service uses anything other than simple time ordering to display content. My view has been that when you start prioritizing some things over others, you are now expressing an opinion, and you are no longer protected by Section 230 for that act. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if a human does that (like at a news website) or an algorithm/AI does it (like at Facebook).\n\nSo, that leaves me with a position that companies should be liable for the output of their AI.\n\nBut, I currently cannot square that with Generative AI. I’m not ready to suggest that there should be liability there, provided that the company is taking precautions to protect from extreme cases.\n\nIt feels like this isn't a simple yes or no, but is a continuum. I would suggest that Section 230 protections are the same way.

The sustained higher level of active addresses is good. It hasn't dropped even with scandals and a sustained crypto winter. However 15M addresses is still far too small for the technology being built. Adoption is still in the infancy. \n2. The active developer count is meaningful, and fun that you can track this stuff so accurately in blockchain. 30K is still small though.\n3. The scaling solutions around Ethereum are showing growth, which is a good sign for them, but even more importantly a good sign for Ethereum.\n4. I don't see a ton of new Layer 1's as necessarily a good thing. It is more fragmentation of the market.

The organization’s messaging is tone-deaf, ineffective, and myopic. Hammering on about “GNU/Linux” nomenclature, antagonism towards our allies in the open source movement, maligning the audience as “useds” rather than “users”; none of this aids the cause. The pages and pages of dense philosophical essays and poorly organized FAQs do not provide a useful entry point or reference for the community. The message cannot spread like this.\n\nThe FSF has become irrelevant, fighting last decades battles and worrying about attribution. The leadership of the FSF has missed all the critical movements in open source for a long time.\n\nThe trouble is, does it matter?

I've done many examples of having ChatGPT write code, but this approach creates a solution that can be debated and improved before you just spit out code.\n\n> A common way of interacting with an LLM is to give it a problem and ask it to generate some final product, whether than be prose or (in this case) code. With **Generated Knowledge** we split our interaction into separate steps: first ask the LLM to generate some useful information about the problem, and then we feed that information back into the LLM to generate the final product.\n\nThis is a super interesting way of working **with** another system in a pair-programming manner.\n\n> My take away from this discussion was that using chain of thought and generated knowledge prompting approaches can be a significantly useful tool for programming. In particular it shows that to use LLMs well, we need to learn how to construct prompts to get the best results. This experience suggests that it’s useful to interact with the LLM like a junior partner, starting them with architectural guidelines, asking them to show their reasoning, and tweaking their outputs as we go.\n\nThis is whole thing is incredible. 🤯","saved":"2023-04-14T02:02:55Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"b137bb78a824bb0d1db57cefae2d52f8","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0ba634329d88/","kind":"page"},

I've also been a long-time customer of Apple and enjoy their products which certainly has a halo effect for Cook himself. What I really admire about Cook though is how he leads with values. I also think his calm and reasoned persona is a great model, and oddly iconoclast, to so many leaders in technology. Including his predecessor Steve Jobs!\n\n> Being out in nature is a “palate cleanser for the mind.” Actually, it’s even more than that, Cook says, casting aside his measured nature for a moment. “It’s better than any other thing you can possibly do!”\n\nApple has made privacy one of those core values, and I truly believe in part because it is a personal value of Cook and many of the leaders. It is also a market differentiating strategy for the company.\n\n> In his tenure as CEO, Cook has rarely missed an opportunity to decry, usually with a fair amount of heat in his voice, what he describes as the “data-industrial complex”—a complex built of companies (and Apple competitors) who profit from the use and sale of their consumer’s personal information and data. This practice, Cook said in another public moment, “degrades our fundamental right to privacy first, and our social fabric by consequence,” and helps build an ecosystem full of “rampant disinformation and conspiracy theories juiced by algorithms.”\n\nThe interview highlights the incongruity of the CEO of Apple focusing on privacy and device addiction. It is isn't incongruous if you start by leading with your values.","saved":"2023-04-06T02:11:05Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"f5683ca8f8bb80cca5a9cc6e150fb86a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f5983e2ee97c/","kind":"page"},

Stripe is one of the technology companies that I always keep an eye on.

This set continues to grow rapidly, expanding by more than 50% each year since 2018. Some of this expansion is about established titans, but most isn't. Part of the joy of working at Stripe is partnering with early startups on their way to meteoric success. Of these 100+ category leaders, more than half have grown their revenue 10x while on Stripe, and over a quarter have grown 100x. Many now-household names, such as Instacart, Substack, and DoorDash (originally known as \"Palo Alto Delivery\") charged their customers with us from the very beginning. \n> \n> In total, the number of new businesses coming to Stripe increased by 19% in 2022, with an average of more than 1,000 new ventures launched every day.

I believe that we will see decades of actions to try and fight the power that crypto disrupts.\n\nThis is a perfect time for the government to attack. Crypto is still down significantly from highs. Banks are under pressure so there is cover for actions. \n\n> A sharply worded whitepaper from law firm Cooper and Kirk accuses regulators at the FDIC and the FED of an illegal and unconstitutional attack on crypto done without cover of law or Congressional approval. Cooper and Kirk are one of the most powerful and influential law firms in Washington. The firm’s attorneys have frequently appeared before the Supreme Court and as of 2021 “six former interns or associates of Cooper & Kirk [were] serving as U.S. Supreme Court clerks.” So this broadside isn’t coming from an obscure and unconnected law firm:\n> \n> > Recent stories in the financial press have uncovered a coordinated campaign by prudential bank regulators to drive crypto businesses out of the financial system. Bank regulators have published informal guidance documents that single out cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency customers as a risk to the banking system. Businesses in the cryptocurrency marketplace are losing their bank accounts, or their access to the ACH network, suddenly, and with no explanation from their bankers. The owners and employees of cryptocurrency firms are even having their personal accounts closed without explanation. And over the past two weeks, federal regulators have shut down a solvent bank that was known to be serving the crypto industry and, although it is required to resolve banks through the “least cost resolution” to the Deposit Insurance Fund, the FDIC chose to shutter rather than sell the part of the bank that serves digital asset customers, costing the Fund billions of dollars.\n\nWe need to expect this type of skirmish to continue for many years. We still haven't settled on encryption, and crypto is even more complicated.","saved":"2023-03-31T01:47:23Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"30757cd971111115b6ef97c57b8cccce","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d678c3edd99d/","kind":"page"},

Many millennia from now, our highly-evolved descendants will probably be making use of an equally highly evolved descendant of S3. It is fun to think about how this would be portrayed in science fiction form, where developers pore through change logs and design documents that predate their great-great-great-great grandparents, and users inherit ancient (yet still useful) S3 buckets, curate the content with great care, and then ensure that their progeny will be equally good stewards for all of the precious data stored within.\n\nI think about this type of capability online more than the average person I suspect. One of the projects I intend to pursue is to somehow position my blog to last for as close to forever as I can. It is a much harder problem than it seems. The crypto stack in Ethereum with IPFS is currently the most promising bet to making it happen.\n\nBut it is also interesting to note when stopping change is a good thing.

Well now it is real with a plugin!\n\nThe examples in this article are incredibly impressive. Particularly the series of conversations to take data, modify it, visualize it, etc. This is all coming from multiple different systems. \n\n> One particularly significant thing here is that ChatGPT isn’t just using us to do a “dead-end” operation like show the content of a webpage. Rather, we’re acting much more like a true “brain implant” for ChatGPT—where it asks us things whenever it needs to, and we give responses that it can weave back into whatever it’s doing. It’s rather impressive to see in action. And—although there’s definitely much more polishing to be done—what’s already there goes a long way towards (among other things) giving ChatGPT the ability to deliver accurate, curated knowledge and data—as well as correct, nontrivial computations.\n\nWolfram goes on in the 2nd half of the post to actually show the data that ChatGPT and Wolfram are handing back and forth. It is amazing stuff. Give this a read, and then read it again. There is a lot to learn here.\n\n> One of the great (and, frankly, unexpected) things about ChatGPT is its ability to start from a rough description, and generate from it a polished, finished output—such as an essay, letter, legal document, etc. In the past, one might have tried to achieve this “by hand” by starting with “boilerplate” pieces, then modifying them, “gluing” them together, etc. But ChatGPT has all but made this process obsolete. In effect, it’s “absorbed” a huge range of boilerplate from what it’s “read” on the web, etc.—and now it typically does a good job at seamlessly “adapting it” to what you need.\n> \n> So what about code? In traditional programming languages writing code tends to involve a lot of “boilerplate work”—and in practice many programmers in such languages spend lots of their time building up their programs by copying big slabs of code from the web. But now, suddenly, it seems as if ChatGPT can make much of this obsolete. Because it can effectively put together essentially any kind of boilerplate code automatically—with only a little “human input”.\n\nWolfram Language and how it is allowing ChatGPT and Wolfram to communicate in a completely new way is wild. 🤯\n\n> ChatGPT + Wolfram is something very new—really a completely new kind of technology. And as happens whenever a new kind of technology arrives, it’s opening up tremendous new opportunities.

It’s called web fingerprinting. Fingerprinting is a more sophisticated approach to identify a user among millions of others. It works by studying your web browser and hardware configuration. Many websites use a fingerprinting library to generate a unique ID. This library collects data from multiple JavaScript APIs offered by your web browser. For example, websites can see web browser version, number of CPUs on your device, screen size, number of touchpoints, video/audio codecs, operating system and many other details that you would not want a typical news website to see.\n> \n> All of these values are combined to generate a unique ID. Surprisingly, each user’s device and browser specifications differ so much that they get a unique ID among millions.\n\nI tried this myself and it matched me even with 1Blocker, clearing cookies, and using private browsing windows. The author was only able to defeat fingerprinting in Firefox after specifically enabling it with \"privacy.resistFingerprinting = true\". \n\nFingerprinting is particularly difficult since the only way to fight it is for the browser itself to do it. You cannot work around it any other way. \n\nIt is amazing how hard we have to work to maintain any privacy online.","saved":"2023-03-23T22:28:07Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7bc5502d7756de4601457c86d61ee005","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ffd6b1bab6b0/","kind":"page"},

A number of really cool ideas. This one made me smile when I read it because it would be incredible to have such an omnipresent \"resource\" available in a company!\n\n> Company-wide agents will empower employees in new ways. An agent that understands a particular company will be available for its employees to consult directly and should be part of every meeting so it can answer questions. It can be told to be passive or encouraged to speak up if it has some insight. It will need access to the sales, support, finance, product schedules, and text related to the company. It should read news related to the industry the company is in. I believe that the result will be that employees will become more productive.\n\nSo much potential, even without us getting to some level of Artificial General Intelligence. Just the tech that we have right now could power so much innovation.\n\nThe use case I’m looking at first is anything that requires the assimilation of some reasonable corpus of information, reading a dozen PDFs for example, and then summarizing the information. This is a straightforward use case. I've used [DEVONthink](https://www.devontechnologies.com/apps/devonthink/) for years for projects like this. Think of an M&A project with hundreds of PDFs and other resources. It is one thing to be able to load that into a tool like DEVON to search, but a different ballgame entirely to have an AI \"read\" it all and summarize and answer questions.\n\nPS: It is wild to me that even in hindsight Gates doesn't list the web as something that was revolutionary. 🤷‍♂️","saved":"2023-03-22T23:43:26Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"1473c9f2b8a8773d0b0629f0b661f827","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8ccb22f27864/","kind":"page"},

Native tokens like Bitcoin and Ethereum are important, but there are vast capabilities that you can unlock if you remove or lessen volatility. I first ran into RAI several months ago it it made my head hurt a bit. It doesn't work at all like a traditional stablecoin.\n\n> While using stablecoins can reduce the risks associated with volatility, there are concerns about counterparty risk. The price stability is maintained by their issuers, which means that they are subject to the same risks and vulnerabilities as traditional financial systems. Additionally, the mechanisms used to maintain stablecoin prices can be complex, opaque and may not always function as intended, which can create a new set of risks. So, would it be possible to have a stablecoin that is also decentralized?\n\nThis is why USDC dropped off peg when news of Silicon Valley Bank broke and people realized that Circle, the centralized organization behind USDC, had $3.4B in its reserve at SVB. This is also the constant worry with USDT (Tether) as proof of its backing is nearly impossible to prove.\n\nSo how does RAI work to set a stable price?\n\n> This is a complex technical topic, but putting it simply into a one-liner: RAI achieves price stability by dynamically adjusting its circulating supply based on supply and demand. This is achieved by comparing the RAI market price with the RAI target price (named redemption price, since in case of a protocols shutdown that is the price that the protocol would settle all debt). If the price of RAI is above its target price, the supply of RAI tends to increase. If the price of RAI is below its target price, the supply of RAI tends to decrease. This is done with a controller smart contract that economically incentivizes the users of the protocol, RAI borrowers and RAI Holders, to keep the market price close to the redemption price.\n\nIt uses math. 🤓 The Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller comes into play. \n\n> RAI has remained less volatile than the other currencies, despite not being the currency that has devalued the least. For example, during most of this period, holding RAI instead of EUR would have resulted in less losses compared to the dollar.\n\nHolding value like that through these market conditions is notable. ⚖️","saved":"2023-03-17T00:09:23Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b937963fcb70c96d5cd5e6b5d9c69359","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3a672c4fe962/","kind":"page"},

He shares insightful first person experiences during China's COVID lockdowns of 2022 and the abrupt shift from Zero Covid.\n\n> Friends spoke about three types of shock. First, the raw novelty of extended physical confinement. Second, the wonder of feeling food insecure in this age and in this city. Third, a disenchantment with government pronouncements. \n\nThe details of food insecurity and the details of dealing with pets during government enforced quarantines paint a more complete picture of what people had to endure. \n\n> It’s time to level set. China’s growth prospects are off track, but the country retains huge strengths. How do we balance everything? I think that a fair assessment should acknowledge these five propositions. First, business can still be exciting as China continues broad catch-up growth that creates flourishing in particular sectors, even if economic headwinds are stronger too. Second, China’s cities continue to be nicer places to live in (especially Shanghai—Beijingers can ignore this part), offering better provision of parks, healthcare, and retail. Third, doomers have wrongly predicted the collapse of China for 30 years. Fourth, Xi has centralized considerable power, and over the past decade has tightened limits not just on freedom of speech, but increasingly on freedom of thought. And fifth, though cities are more pleasant, a small risk of catastrophe threatens to overturn one’s life.\n\nI found his perspective on China an interesting read. \n\n> How should we reflect on 2022 in China? The starting point must be the three most important events of the year. First, zero-Covid: extraordinarily tight controls that were all abandoned in December. Second, the greater centralization of political power under Xi Jinping after the 20th Party Congress. Third, a declaration of a “limitless friendship” with Russia that had “no forbidden zones” three weeks before its invasion of Ukraine.\n\nHis letter goes on to cover books and food topics as well.

It highlights how much continued development is possible and likely around Ethereum, but also highlights risks that are out. It is notable to me that many of the risks are not technical, but are about control and governance.\n\n> There are now a non-trivial number of well-resourced and sophisticated entities with a deep interest in not only the success but the manipulation of the Ethereum protocol. Such entities do not appear to generally have malice in intent today, but they do have a lot riding on the protocol evolving in certain ways and at certain speeds. To this end, L2s, VCs, exchanges, and dapps have entered into the L1 governance and development process. We are in a unique time in which Ethereum has these special interests forming and coming to the table, but many areas of the protocol, by almost any standard, are not yet sufficient, not yet ossified. This makes the next few years particularly risky.\n\nThese risks are real, and this is where having a strong Foundation, strong core developers, and a strong voice like [Vitalik](https://vitalik.ca) are going to be so important. \n\n> In short, Ethereum stands stronger than ever. The community building the core infrastructure, the community layering in scaling, and the community building on top are astounding to be a part of and to observe. But, there are still major challenges; there are still immense risks.\n> \n> Ethereum is alive and well. Do your part to keep it that way.\n\nThat last line is why I’m looking into becoming a home validator for Ethereum, as I've been doing with Gnosis for several months now.","saved":"2023-03-02T16:29:59Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"857645e4c811c4c015edb48318dd5ba8","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/96341ad01cb8/","kind":"repository"},

Poor sleep quality has all sorts of nasty effects on human health - but it’s worse. Melatonin is also involved in the suppression of tumors and cancers. If your melatonin levels are low at night (from disruption or from simple night shift work), your risk of various cancers goes up by somewhere in the 30-80% range, depending on the cancer and study.\n\nThe article goes on to illustrate how LED lights produce white light. For the more technical you may know that the unlock for LED lighting was the development of cheap and efficient blue LEDs. We had green and red for a very long time. There are no white LEDs. The mass market solution of blue LEDs allowed the combination of RGB to give us what appears to be white light. But it isn't really white light, it is RGB light coming together.

The bold is my addition.\n\n> Granted, these correlations don’t prove causation, but the frequent finding that the correlations are consistently higher for social media, and higher for girls, tells us that we’re not just looking at random noise here. There is a **consistent story emerging from these hundreds of correlational studies**. \n\nand …\n\n> But 33 studies used a month or more (20 were annual) and of these, 24 found a significant effect. So a simple dose-response model in which social media is like poison (where cutting consumption on Monday makes you feel better on Tuesday) does not seem to be supported. But **73% of the studies that looked for causal effects a month or more in the future found them**.\n\nand …\n\n> For example, Hunt, Marx, Lipson & Young (2018) randomly assigned college students to greatly reduce the use of social media platforms (or not reduce) and then measured their depressive symptoms four weeks later. They found that “**The limited use group showed significant reductions in loneliness and depression over three weeks compared to the control group**.”\n\nand …\n\n> As the company expanded to new colleges, did mental health change in the following year or two at those institutions, compared to colleges where students did not yet have access to Facebook? Yes, it got worse. The authors say: \n> \n> > **We find that the roll-out of Facebook at a college increased symptoms of poor mental health, especially depression, and led to increased utilization of mental healthcare services**. We also find that, according to the students' reports, the decline in mental health translated into worse academic performance. Additional evidence on mechanisms suggests the results are due to Facebook fostering unfavorable social comparisons.\n\nand to finish it off.\n\n> There is one giant, obvious, international, and gendered cause: Social media. Instagram was founded in 2010. The iPhone 4 was released then too—the first smartphone with a front-facing camera. In 2012 Facebook bought Instagram, and that’s the year that its user base exploded. By 2015, it was becoming normal for 12-year-old girls to spend hours each day taking selfies, editing selfies, and posting them for friends, enemies, and strangers to comment on, while also spending hours each day scrolling through photos of other girls and fabulously wealthy female celebrities with (seemingly) vastly superior bodies and lives. **The hours girls spent each day on Instagram were taken from sleep, exercise, and time with friends and family. What did we think would happen to them?**\n\nTo me the answer here is obvious. Social media is toxic, particularly to kids developing their identity still.\n\nIt feels like we are watching the same story that unfolded with tobacco use and cancer. The companies selling these products seem to be taking a very similar playbook.\n\nSome thoughts that I was left with.\n\n1. I’m really glad that both of our kids have opted out of social media in all forms.\n2. While the term selfie isn't used a lot in this article, the specific role of photo-based social media like Instagram combined with the advent of front-facing \"selfie\" cameras is interesting. It seems like an optimization that meaningfully increased the negative properties.\n3. These studies routinely suggest the impact on boys is less, and I’m very curious why. Stereotypically we know that boys spend more screen time on gaming and YouTube. And the studies do highlight that screen time is not the same as social media usage. So the devices and the Internet seem much less of the issue than specifically social media.\n4. Given the impacts on young people and teen girls, what do you suppose these same mechanisms do to adults. Nothing seems a completely untenable answer. \n","saved":"2023-02-23T23:30:42Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"da1dea0f35a7325ef37b0ec195d45550","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0a797aaf5beb/","kind":"newsletter"},

This writeup is very long (I skimmed it and plan to give it a full read later), but the clarity of the models, the math, and how these Generative AI's and LLMs work is fabulous. I love his analysis of our, meaning us humans, view of the things that ChatGPT is doing (bolding my addition).\n\n> But there’s something potentially confusing about all of this. In the past there were plenty of tasks—including writing essays—that we’ve assumed were somehow “fundamentally too hard” for computers. And now that we see them done by the likes of ChatGPT we tend to suddenly think that computers must have become vastly more powerful—in particular surpassing things they were already basically able to do (like progressively computing the behavior of computational systems like cellular automata).\n> \n> But this isn’t the right conclusion to draw. Computationally irreducible processes are still computationally irreducible, and are still fundamentally hard for computers—even if computers can readily compute their individual steps. And instead what we should conclude is that tasks—like writing essays—that we humans could do, but we didn’t think computers could do, are actually in some sense computationally easier than we thought.\n> \n> In other words, **the reason a neural net can be successful in writing an essay is because writing an essay turns out to be a “computationally shallower” problem than we thought**. And in a sense this takes us closer to “having a theory” of how we humans manage to do things like writing essays, or in general deal with language.\n\nIf you find this topic interesting this is a super read, and it helps clearly show the boundaries of this technology. I also love the idea that there are problems that \"computationally shallower\" than we really think. I wonder how our own view of our unique human-ness plays into that perception. \n","saved":"2023-02-17T20:19:30Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b8749f8f7a00c2530bdee616d350a488","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e3937fe71418/","kind":"page"},

I feel strongly that a commons is **not** certain things, like it isn't Twitter. A commons cannot be a company that has a market cap. It isn't a mall. Searls takes a look at these and tests them with Mastadon.\n\n> 1. Clearly defining the group boundaries and the contents of the common pool resource.\n> 2. The appropriation and provision of common resources that are adapted to local conditions.\n> 3. Collective-choice arrangements that allow most resource appropriators to participate in the decision-making process.\n> 4. Effective monitoring by monitors who are part of or accountable to the appropriators.\n> 5. A scale of graduated sanctions for resource appropriators who violate community rules.\n> 6. Mechanisms of conflict resolution that are cheap and of easy access. \n> 7. Self-determination of the community recognized by higher-level authorities.\n> 8. In the case of larger common-pool resources, organization in the form of multiple layers of nested enterprises, with small local common pool resources at the base level.\n\nReflecting on that list it is notable that a commons is intertwined with some resource, and that resource is finite. What is the finite resource of a commons that is about speech? That is a question mark for me.\n\nThe above requirements are incredibly well suited to a DAO. That is interesting to me.\n\nIsn't the web a commons? The web with its millions of websites seems to meet these requirements. Don't we have a commons already? Haven't we had one since the creation of the web and blogging platforms? \n","saved":"2023-02-10T00:58:14Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"d7c972d42ea2c40b27166e9aadb4612f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7708341838d5/","kind":"page"},

I've long struggled with having dedicated Agile Coaches or Scrum Masters. There have been several times when I have had those roles in organizations, but I see that as a training moment for managers and leaders to learn from them how to do it themselves. \n\n> So if Team Blue is actually Agile, yet they don’t have any Agile coaches and never have, how did they become this way?\n> \n> The answer is that this is what competent managers do at good product companies.\n> \n> The engineering managers (along with the more senior engineers) have a responsibility to coach and develop their engineers to learn difficult skills such as getting to the point where the team can ship frequent, small, reliable, uncoupled releases.\n> \n> Similarly, the managers of product management and product design have a responsibility to coach and develop their product managers and product designers to work with engineering to consistently and responsibly discover solutions to the problems they’ve been asked to solve. \n\nThis is the model that I think is needed. Managers have the accountability to the organization for what their teams are delivering, and it only makes sense that they serve these roles directly. Said another way, I don't think you would want to hand over something so critical to other people that don't have that responsibility.\n","saved":"2023-02-08T21:46:57Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7a8cdba94031888d32d7dc50c9fe75bd","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/603cca7c6de4/","kind":"page"},

This assessment of the Federal Reserve now operating at a financial loss is an interesting read. The assessment is the short term impact is not much, but that it is a step in a bad direction for the overall economy.\n\n> By the end of this decade, I have considerable concerns regarding a fiscal spiral occurring in the United States and other developed countries, meaning that a combination of high deficits, high debts, and high interest rates on those debts, will all work together to create structural inflation and money supply growth. The Federal Reserve entering into negative tangible equity is just another piece of that process unfolding, since it contributes to larger federal deficits by taking away Treasury remittances.\n\nThe article goes into the history of Central Bank assets and liabilities, and the gold standard and such. This paragraph did give me a moment of pause. \n\n> The financial system in the United States, and for most of the rest of the world for that matter, can basically be thought of as an Excel spreadsheet managed by the Federal Reserve. That’s all it really is. Some of the cells on the spreadsheet are assets, and some of the cells are liabilities. It’s just a ledger that they administrate, and that we all use.

I began my career thinking of my work as additive. “I’m contributing value,” I thought, “Because I’m writing them this amazing code.” If they criticized me for not doing something else, it made me a bit indignant. How dare they? Didn’t they realize how valuable my addition to the project was?\n> \n> But it wasn’t an addition. It was a subtraction, just one bit of work from the huge space of work yet to be done. I couldn’t see the bigger picture. I didn’t see all the work that went along naturally with my coding work. Writing that code earned me knowledge that could have given me foresight into future challenges the project would face. If I’d bothered to think about it, I could have communicated those challenges to others and helped develop solutions. It never even occurred to me to do that, but from my manager’s perspective it was obvious that I should: it had to get done, and I was the only one who could do it. I didn’t do it, so it didn’t get done, so the project suffered.\n\nThis language of \"additive\" and \"subtractive\" is really compelling. Are you adding value in shipping a feature or story. Or are you subtracting from the work to be done to be ready to hit the market with a new thing? Are you burning up, or burning down? \n\nThis is worth thinking about more.","saved":"2023-02-02T20:03:47Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"163ad1f3caf6c75a52feb9f14c5b0425","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5cf1b2d50a67/","kind":"page"},

I've published this kind of thing on my own website for decades.

Even today, one of my main website categories is [Lists](https://www.thingelstad.com/lists/) where I continue to curate things like [list of escape rooms](https://www.thingelstad.com/lists/escape-rooms/), [list of vehicles I've owned](https://www.thingelstad.com/lists/vehicles/), even [cameras I've had](https://www.thingelstad.com/lists/cameras/). These are all small databases.\n\n> Let’s think through the kinds of use cases and functionality that is important. I’d say that the core features are:\n> \n> 1. Creating collections of objects\n> 2. Adding and updating metadata for the objects (ideally in bulk if needed)\n> 3. Creating collections, relationships and pathways through the data\n> 4. Collaborating on these with others\n> 5. Publishing to the web in an easy to consume way, with stable URLs, search etc\n> 6. Open standard file formats for export / import / desktop editing\n> \n> I think the last point is key to building an ecosystem of this stuff. We have CSV files as a kind of open standard for any kind of data - possible to open it in all kinds of applications (or even edit directly with a text editor) and yet we have no standard concept for a database file that you can just open and edit in a range of applications?\n\nAs I read this I the screaming remnants of the [Semantic Web](https://www.w3.org/standards/semanticweb/) and [Microformats](https://microformats.io) kept ringing in my head. There was a serious push to support semantic metadata to allow any webpage to have this kind of structure. I went deep down the [Semantic MediaWiki](https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki) track which brought the world of wiki editing to that same idea. Semantic MediaWiki is probably the closest realization of what this article asks for. But it was massively too difficult. \n\nAt the root of all this I feel is that you're dealing with a database. As long as that is the metaphor, I think we will struggle with a domain that is too complex. So how do we make the data available in a way that those databases can be completely ephemeral? Microformats seems like the right answer. What is a data version of the web? And how does it interoperate seamlessly with everything else.

A 100% percent increase in PPP disbursements is also accompanied by a 2% increased number of new wallets, 10% higher trading volume, 23% higher miners’ revenue, and a shift from large to small addresses, suggesting that government assistance increases the demand for cryptos, particularly among new, retail investors. We further find that about 5-14% of PPP loans are diverted to crypto assets, rendering PPP less effective in maintaining employment. Our results are stronger for MSAs with a less educated population, supporting a house money explanation.\n\nNo skin in the game.","saved":"2023-01-31T14:50:33Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b6c409273538e5facf89325136310dbc","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/11cb5a9306df/","kind":"page"},

I read [Joey Krug](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeykrug/)'s update with the most detail.\n\nI like his callout of what has worked in 2022. For all that has been written about FTX and various bankruptcies, which is completely valid, not much has been said about the basic, boring DeFi protocols on crypto that didn’t seek crazy leverage and operated incredibly well through an extremely volatile period.\n\n> The second level of why DeFi protocols worked well in 2022 is the more critical, higher-level reason.  Decentralized protocols can’t just say, “trust me, I went to MIT and want to donate everything to charity”. DeFi protocols are more of a “you don’t have to trust us” nature or, as Google put it so well before they dropped it: DeFi protocols “can’t be evil.”  The only option at the protocol layer is to build something that works, something from first principles, in the open, against a pseudonymous playing field of rational economic actors, where your code is public, and anyone can scrutinize and read it.  \n> \n> Nick Szabo put it best: “trusted third-parties are security holes.” 2022 crypto in a nutshell.\n\nTrusted third-parties are a bit antithetical to crypto to begin with. \n\nKrug's look forward hits on two big problems to solve, and I would put his second as the first and the most important.\n\n> The second set of issues — the usability issues of DeFi — is just as crucial as the liquidity part.  While usability has improved a lot over the years, a common retort is, “the web was super hard to use in the early days, usability shouldn’t be a barrier”. Since the early of days of the web however, user expectations for usability have risen orders of magnitude.  People expect things to be easy to use. \n\nI have onboarded over a hundred people to crypto using POAPs for various events. It is getting easier, but it is still ridiculously complicated for even your average person to do this. Unfortunately this usability is a problem that we need serious companies to work on, and those serious companies decide to avoid the space when you have massive fraud like FTX.\n\nOverall I continue to see so much opportunity in the crypto stack because of the potential to increase efficiency and create entirely new classes of solutions.\n\nIn the entire history of computing, we have never seen a way to drive significant efficiency improvement and decided to just pass on it, and keep doing things the hard and expensive way. I don't think we are going to start now.\n","saved":"2023-01-26T12:21:28Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"ee4e79ebce32de9ea80b81d4f052ba94","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/41ab47fa403c/","kind":"page"},

I've personally avoided serious injury on multiple occasions because I was wearing a bike helmet. I've had solo spills on my bike, I've rubbed tires with other cyclists, I've had absent minded drivers push me off the road, and I've even had aggressive drivers intentionally cut me off or even hit their brakes as hard as possible causing me to crash into the back of the car and go over my handlebars. I've been lucky to avoid any serious injuries, but I've paid my respects to a handful of helmets for doing their job to protect my head.\n\nWith that context, this article seemed to suggest that helmet wearing wasn't really useful so I needed to dig in. There are only three meaningful items in here:\n\n1. Data shows that in Seattle laws that required helmet use were disproportionately enforced against minorities. Sadly, this isn't special about bike helmets. That is true of many laws.\n2. Highlight from the end of the article: \"Regardless, experts I spoke to were unanimous about what these flaws don’t mean: that helmets are useless. They all believe you should wear one.\"\n3. It seems drivers interpret helmets as safer to be close to? \"Notably, Walker discovered, motorists and commercial truck drivers in particular afforded less space—not more—to helmeted cyclists.\" However, the reverse of this is not to suggest that you should skip a helmet.\n\nThe rest of this article is just highlighting that there are risks to being on a bicycle in traffic, and a helmet doesn't solve all of them. Which should be news to absolutely nobody. \n\nAt one point the article highlights that other countries that do not have helmet laws have fewer accidents, and specifically goes to the Netherlands example.\n\n> From a zoomed-out perspective, helmets are simply not the road-safety panacea we want them to be. Several analyses suggest that U.S. riders are more likely to wear helmets compared with cyclists in other countries—all while suffering the highest fatality rate per distance traveled. Research shows that among a 14-country cohort, the Netherlands enjoyed the lowest bicyclist fatality rate per mile traveled. The Dutch also largely eschew the helmet: 73 percent of adults and 84 percent of children in the Netherlands report they never wear a helmet while bicycling. There’s a simple reason for that. Surveys show that Dutch residents feel safe biking, and attribute that sense of security to the country’s long-standing cycling culture and network of dedicated cycling lanes.\n\nThis again has nothing to do with helmets. What the Netherlands tells us is the thing you can do to change **driver behavior** in a way that makes it safer for cyclists is to have so many cyclists on the road that you can’t ignore them.\n\nSo, I stand by…\n\n**If there are wheels under your feet, there is a helmet on your head.**\n","saved":"2023-01-22T01:19:39Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"20f0be4f1859f1adc847cb5904ee7b9b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9cc7aa1df9e3/","kind":"page"},

And yet, half a billion dollars makes them a very significant donor in aggregate, one of the biggest corporate donors in the world.\n\nI had no idea that it raised $500M for charities. I’m also surprised that Amazon decided to discontinue the program. They cited low usage. Why not solve that problem instead of just shutting it off? I would have loved for Amazon Smile to be backed into the normal Amazon experience.

Some of these roles are pretty common in boards that I have interacted with.\n\n> We have consistently found that the best founders and startups build their boards forward from product-market fit—instead of backward from IPO—and approach it like building a presidential cabinet. The composition of a board will evolve alongside a company, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to building a board. There isn’t a set number of board seats or a particular balance of personas that solves every business problem. That said, we have found these questions work well as jumping-off points for building a strategic board: what are the major business challenges facing my company, and do I have the right people on my management team to help me tackle those challenges? If not, which independent directors can I bring on to augment that team?  \n\nThe role that I see lacking the most is the Functional Expert. There are not a lot of CTOs on boards, and as nearly all companies become technology companies that lack of presence at the board level results in a disconnect between the vision and direction of the business and those responsible to oversee it.\n\nI think you could go broader and assert that another category should be considered. There is a consideration for a \"Public Readiness Expert\" in this framework, which clearly suggests this is pre-IPO, but would easily pivot to an Audit role after the fact. Technology could be considered very similar to that, as opposed to a pure Functional area.","saved":"2023-01-22T01:17:30Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"5001e365cc12a54fe92a150a150b5ab1","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/49a48d331fb7/","kind":"page"},

At first the idea sounds very strange, but this article from Shipper is a relatively deep exploration into that concept. He experiments with different personas for the GPT-3 to use with different results. It is super interesting. \n\n> There is something innately appealing about building a relationship with an empathetic friend that you can talk to any time. It’s comforting to know that it’s available, and it’s exciting to think about all of the different prompts you can experiment with to help it support you in the way you need.\n> \n> There is also something weird about all of this. Spilling your guts to a robot somehow cheapens the experience because it doesn’t cost much for a robot to tell you it understands you. \n\nIt seems weird that AI could be our friends, our confidants. But surely that could be. What if opening your diary was really like tapping in a chat with a bot. What if every human being could have a bot like this that was around for them, for their whole lives? Is that a good thing? It seems like no, because we are not just brains on a stick. We experience different hormones when we engage with humans, face-to-face. But what if that isn't an option? What if nobody wants to listen to you? What if a therapist is too expensive? Is it better to get no therapy because you cannot afford it? Or would the AI be better than nothing. \n\n> When people were using GPT-3 to help them provide support to peers, their responses were rated significantly more highly than responses that were generated by humans alone.\n\nWow.

{"id":"cfb6efda688e","hash":"cfb6efda688ee67ad10236ffdd33e9d8","url":"https://vitalik.ca/general/2022/12/05/excited.html","title":"What in the Ethereum application ecosystem excites me","note":"As the creator of [Ethereum](https://ethereum.org/en/) I was very interested in reading about [Vitalik Buterin](https://vitalik.ca)'s take on what he is excited about in the space. While obviously being a promoter of Ethereum, Vitalik is also a reasonable critic and has a track record of highlighting problems or limitations. He starts with that… \n\n> We've also come closer to identifying fundamental limits of the space. Many DAOs have had a fair chance with an enthusiastic audience willing to participate in them despite the inconveniences and fees, and many have underperformed. Industrial supply-chain applications have not gone anywhere. Decentralized Amazon on the blockchain has not happened. But it's also a world where we have seen genuine and growing adoption of a few key applications that are meeting people's real needs - and those are the applications that we need to focus on.\n> \n> Hence my change in perspective: my excitement about Ethereum is now no longer based in the potential for undiscovered unknowns, but rather in a few specific categories of applications that are proving themselves already, and are only getting stronger.\n\nMany people (including me!) have said that blockchain is a solution looking for a problem. I think that was a fair assessment a number of years ago. The space has evolved in significant ways, which is partly why I prefer to refer to the solution space as \"crypto\", and not blockchain. I tend to not love the Web3 term either, as it is often placed in opposition to Web2 which is incorrect in my opinion. My own \"tinkering\" in the space has been to be a user, a builder, and see what I can do with it in my own hands. \n\nSummary of Buterin's list:\n\n1. Money\n2. DeFi\n3. Identity\n4. DAOs\n5. Hybrid Apps\n\nMy list would be the same, but I would probably change the order with Identity being on the top. \n\nSome thoughts of mine using Vitalik's list:\n\n**Money**\n\nMoney will be digital. I think we are well beyond the tipping point on this. I don't think paper money should disappear, but having digital cash is too powerful to ignore. The innovation here will continue to happen in smaller and less developed economies, but will come everywhere.\n\n> Unlike wealthy countries like the United States, where financial transactions are easy to make and 8% inflation is considered extreme, in Argentina and many other countries around the world, links to global financial systems are more limited and extreme inflation is a reality every day. \n\nI think bound to this future is a multi-currency world. Something that will be new as well to wealthy countries. The power to be able to move a variety of currencies directly wherever I want is huge. Simple stuff, like paying for a designer directly with a designer in another country by sending USD Coin with no intermediary is incredible. Stablecoins are also a critical unlock here to allow for more average, everyday transactions. Vitalik's overview of different types of stablecoins was interesting to me and got me looking at [RAI](https://reflexer.finance) closer.\n\nMy hope and belief here is that this is all additive. It isn't a replacement, but in addition to. Will credit cards go away? No, they provide a debt tool and protection against fraud since the funds move slowly.\n\nBlending fiat and digital, along with a variety of stablecoins as well as traded currencies, will allow people to use different tools for different jobs, and give more freedom and choice to how we transact with others.\n\n**DeFi**\n\nAn observation about finance that isn't limited to crypto. It tends to get wildly complex and have hidden leverage that results in unsustainable returns, that eventually blowup. We've seen this in DeFi, we've also seen it in traditional finance. We've also seen a ton of fraud in DeFi, which we've also seen in traditional finance. \n\nThe use cases Vitalik lists here are interesting. I would add to them that access to simple financial capabilities, particularly debt, via smart contracts is a boring but very powerful tool.\n\nI've been [lending for 15 years on Kiva](https://www.kiva.org/lender/jthingelstad) and have ben part of 258 loans so far. I’m a fan of Kiva and the basic thesis of microlending. However, it is a complete and total black box. I have to trust Kiva, and their field partners, and just cross my fingers that this all works. This entire thing could be rebuilt in so many better ways.\n\nAnother good example here is [Endaoment](https://endaoment.org) which I used to create a donor advised fund on-chain and fund in minutes using my browser. \n\nThe key with this space is to keep it boring and simple.\n\n**Identity**\n\nHow the crypto ecosystem has approached identity is surprisingly one of my very favorite things. It is important to note that in crypto identity is often aligned with a wallet, and you can have any number of wallets. I love the fact that you can build up multiple identities and could even bind those all to one person. The ecosystem is the win here.\n\n> When I log on to Blockscan chat, I sign in with Ethereum. This means that I am immediately visible as vitalik.eth (my ENS name) to anyone I chat with. In the future, to fight spam, Blockscan chat could \"verify\" accounts by looking at on-chain activity or POAPs. The lowest tier would simply be to verify that the account has sent or been the recipient in at least one on-chain transaction (as that requires paying fees). A higher level of verification could involve checking for balances of specific tokens, ownership of specific POAPs, a proof-of-personhood profile, or a meta-aggregator like Gitcoin Passport.\n\nI like what Reddit is doing here as well. Reddit is slowly moving avatars and their own reputation system into crypto, and doing it with either a wallet that they manage for you or you can provide your own. \n\nYou can see reputation forming here with a combination of systems like Reddit Karma, and then layering on POAP tokens as well.\n\nIf you take a look at the [POAPs that I have](https://app.poap.xyz/scan/thingelstad.eth) it gives you a clear sense of me, at least in some dimensions of my life.\n\nI agree with Vitalik's assertion that Privacy is a key issue that has to be addressed here. However, I would put user experience even higher, which isn't on his list. This stuff is wonderful for geeks, but is far too difficult for average users to pull off. I think [Rainbow](https://rainbow.me) is ahead of the pack here. Using Rainbow you can buy an ENS name right in your wallet and manage your profile, in addition to seeing your various POAPs. \n\nAdditional to identity, I think we are going to see attestation added here through signing and other cryptographic proof. How do you know that the text you are reading was actually written by me? Well, you can trust that nobody was in the middle. But if I digitally sign it with my thingelstad.eth wallet, and you can attest that wallet is me, you can know for sure. \n\n**DAOs**\n\nI think there is a lot of potential in DAOs. I've described them as a **means of organization collective action**. Vitalik's definition is more specific.\n\n> Most generally, a DAO is a smart contract that is meant to represent a structure of ownership or control over some asset or process.\n\nI’m a token-holder in multiple DAOs, mostly in the Noun ecosystem but also in Ukraine DAO, Elf DAO, and others. For me DAOs have been filled with as much disappointment as excitement, but I still think there is a huge potential here. \n\nVitalik's thoughts on DAOs are much deeper than my own. I would like to consider small DAOs and how that could enable new things. \n\nMy favorite DAO example would be a neighborhood solar collector. Using a DAO you could remove much of the trust and governance requirements. if 80% of the households in a neighborhood wanted to collectively setup a solar collector, a DAO could be created to hold the treasury, pay for the installation, provide maintenance, take votes on improvements and changes, and pay the members out as needed. That could be a big enabler of \"collective action\". \n\nMy bad taste with DAOs today is that nearly all of them vote with tokens, and that means that many DAOs are controlled by a small number of mega token holders. [LilNouns DAO](https://lilnouns.wtf), which [I have 2 of](https://rainbow.me/thingelstad.eth?family=lil-nouns), is dominated by a handful of people that hold large collections and they effectively control the votes. Governance models need to evolve greatly for DAOs.\n\n**Hybrid Apps**\n\nUsing crypto technology to solve just part of the solution for an existing service is a great use case. I think these will lag though as they need significant adoption of crypto via primary use cases to power these secondary ones. \n\nIn conclusion, this list is what makes me excited about the Ethereum landscape. There are other valuable things happening in crypto, but these use cases have a lot of potential, and are not easily solved using other approaches.\n","saved":"2022-12-06T16:27:30Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"51508191b1d8b635f638ea7ed17d32ae","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/cfb6efda688e/","kind":"page"},

Digitally signing things, particularly emails, has been around for a while but never really caught on. In general, we can rely that the email that appears from me actually is. However, as Wilson suggests with advances in AI this may become a bigger issue.\n\n> So what do we do about this world we are living in where content can be created by machines and ascribed to us?\n> \n> I think we will need to sign everything to signify its validity. When I say sign, I am thinking cryptographically signed, like you sign a transaction in your web3 wallet.\n\nI've pondered this a bit. As someone that has written a blog for 20 years, and a newsletter for 5, I clearly have enough written text on the Internet that you could train an AI to specifically author text in a way that sounds like it was from me. In a future where AI models are not just powerful, but readily available to mimic anyone with enough training information, we are going to have a problem with authenticity.\n\nUsing crypto capabilities to sign messages is a great answer to this. I'd love to see this built into various publishing services that I use. Combining that all with the identity capabilities, you can have a way to know that the text you are reading is truly from the author.\n\nThis comment signed by thingelstad.eth with signature:\n\n0x9b92bd4d756a8fc24f5049fec46f95bbfa062d\ndf6af1c2465df0b2f4890922103bed38f70d0734\n768d6957c6d02f133abced05cd2ee6f1f5e667e4\n6c476414ab1c","saved":"2022-12-06T16:16:50Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"688d7ef15832f19f1636998a58c0c6cb","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7cd48e4f8dff/","kind":"page"},

We noticed only ~12% of the nodes fall into the lower band, a figure that was suspiciously consistent over time. In both bands, performance characteristics remain consistent for the entire uptime of the JVM on the node, i.e. nodes never jumped the bands. This was our starting point for troubleshooting.\n\nUltimately comes down to how the cache is laid out in physical memory!

TikTok is growing at tremendous rates, in part because the onboarding process is so low friction. TikTok takes algorithmic feeds to levels that Facebook and Twitter could only dream of. In fact, because of the explicit following and friending actions you take in other social networks, they can’t even do the same thing.\n\nThere are many reasons I strongly dislike TikTok and never will use it myself. Let me just share one.\n\nDo you know what the most important signal TikTok uses to determine your interest in a video? Many assume it is playing a video. Or maybe when you play it, how long do you watch. Nope, those are not it. The most important signal that you provide TikTok to feed you content is **stopping the scroll**. As you swipe down, sometimes you will press on the screen to stop the scroll. Your eye has seen something that your Type 1 brain noticed. Not your higher order mental capacity, but the lizard brain that engages without you thinking. When that causes you to stop, TikTok knows that they won the jackpot on whatever was on the screen.\n\nTikTok observes the most automatic activities of your brain, and then feeds you algorithmic content specifically tuned to that. **You have no agency**. You aren't specifically following anyone. There wasn't a moment where you decided anything. It is instead like you are in the matrix and the recommendation engine is feeding you whatever you subconsciously engage with.\n\nNo thanks. Hard pass. \n\nThe lack of agency in selection of what you see is bad enough, but augment that with the clear knowledge that the algorithm must be designed for some objective. Some outcome. The math must have a goal. That content is then influencing my mental state, my view of the world, my context. How do I even know that my thoughts are my own, and not the thoughts placed there via algorithmic selection on TikTok.\n\nIf there is a level of bad for you in the digital media landscape. TikTok occupies the top of the podium.

Time is the most finite resource any of us have, and the pure fact that we give a big percentage of that time to anyone that sends us a calendar invite suggests that we may not be as purposeful and planful with our time as might be needed.\n\n> Humans are very good at filling up their work days with things that seem important. We’re pragmatic. When we encounter friction in one place, we “flow” to the next task. When we’re stuck, we figure out how to make progress. When there’s a problem, we want to fix it...and we’ll meet with anyone and everyone who can help. If we raise a flag, and nothing happens....we’re smart and make do.\n> \n> I’ve encountered 10x more over-workers than under-workers in tech. And most of the under-workers were geniuses (coincidence?).\n> \n> But time spent and pragmatism is not enough. High performing teams spend more time (and energy) on valuable things.\n\nAnother way this is often said is the common quip that \"What you **don't** do is often what makes you successful.\" Basically, make sure you are working on the most important thing, not all the things. This is just another way to talk about prioritizing time.\n\nGiven how important this is, you would think there would be a variety of incredibly powerful calendar analytics solutions to help us manage this incredible resource. Alas, there is not. In the meantime, doing manual analysis, categorization, and evaluation of our calendar and then using that to drive some best practices seems \"state of the art\".

It also very clearly shows how email has been largely captured by the big tech players and even though it was designed as an incredibly decentralized and resilient protocol, it has been centralized all in the name of content filtering and managing spam. \n\n> Today’s email servers will claim to accept incoming mail but will delete is as soon as it is received, a practice referred to as blackholing. The email servers operated by tech giants permanently blacklist wide swaths of IP addresses and delete their emails without notice. Their back end infrastructure runs algorithms across huge datasets so that most spam doesn't appear on your inbox.\n> \n> Does it work? Sure. But it comes at a great cost that few even realize is being paid.\n\nAt the end the article connects this back to Bitcoin and asks the Bitcoin community to be thoughtful on how SMTP went from being this decentralized and open system to something completely centralized and managed by a few companies. There are lessons to be learned. SMTP has spam, and Crypto has rug pulls and wallet attacks. There is much to learn from the journey of email, and avoid.","saved":"2022-11-11T03:34:48Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"43529eba362a93c96e5e41790085eeba","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f946a10dc9c0/","kind":"page"},

Some time in 1971, the time measurement was redefined to count seconds, now capable of representing 136 years of time, and the Unix epoch date was -- contrary to the common misconception that it represents the birthdate of Unix -- somewhat arbitrarily picked to be 1970.\n\nReading this will give you a good understanding of the 2038 problem that Unix has to avoid. [From Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time#Representing_the_number)...\n\n> The minimum representable date is Friday 1901-12-13, and the maximum representable date is Tuesday 2038-01-19. One second after 03:14:07 UTC 2038-01-19 this representation will overflow in what is known as the year 2038 problem.\n\n2038 is Unix turn for Y2K.\n\nAs this article highlights, there are also a ton of other challenges with time.

We’ve known that for years. We can’t stand normal, necessary recessions anymore without fearing a collapse of the system.

All time is open for colonization by activities intended to make you a better student, a better resume, a better job candidate. All play should be scheduled. It’s not about the quality of the activity but the quantity; it’s not about the effects of doing it all but the fact that you are doing it.\n\nThis all made me think. I hadn't considered the mental model that our calendars display puts in front of us. How does that mental model the influence how we use our calendar, or more specifically, how we use our time. \n\nShe writes in the article about shared calendaring and I do think there are big trade offs there that are not well understood too. Opening your calendar is opening your most precious, non-renewable thing — time. It has struck me for years as a backwards way to manage such a critical thing. Do others know best where your time should be spent?\n\n> Or what about a calendar that was simply, as one reader imagined, oriented around protecting time, instead of filling it? **What would an un-calendar be?**\n\nThis article didn’t leave me with a to do, but it left me with a lot of questions. On my opinion our calendars have a tremendous amount of value to still unlock. Why? **Because they know the future!** Our calendars should be helping us, not just being a fancy database. But then of course we hit another important issue, helping us in what way?

Overall the suggestion is that Ukraine has a much more agile and modern military approach, although it is much smaller.\n\n> Ukraine’s repeat successes are not coincidences. The country’s military has structural advantages over its Russian adversary. The Russian military is extremely hierarchical and overly centralized; its officers are unable to make critical decisions without getting permission from senior leaders. It is very bad at multidirectional planning, incapable of focusing on one segment of the frontline without distracting from its operations in another. Ukraine, by contrast, is quick to adapt, with a NATO-style “mission command” system that encourages lower-ranking officers and sergeants to make decisions. Ukraine has also carried out many successful multidirectional attacks. The country’s counteroffensive in the south, for example, diverted critical Russian resources away from Kharkiv, allowing Ukrainian units to advance there with ease.\n\nThe fact that their motivation is so much stronger is also critical.\n\n> Ukraine has also suffered serious casualties, and its soldiers will continue to fall in combat. But unlike the Russians, who are fighting a “special military operation” fueled by Putin’s imperial delusions, the Ukrainians are fighting a total war to save their country.\n\n🇺🇦","saved":"2022-10-12T11:39:58Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"34730e2ada4d363208c8830c631c9da1","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/27575e55f9e7/","kind":"page"},

They had their lawyers all over at the beginning of the web trying to get everyone to pay a royalty. At BigCharts we served charts as GIFs, and they came knocking on our door. I’m still proud of my reply. Their patent covered the compressing and decompressing of GIFs. We never decompressed, so I suggested we didn’t violate their patent. It worked well enough to get them to move along to other people. \n\nIt is also fun to see Matt Semke, aka [Cats Will Eat You](https://catswilleatyou.com) quoted here. He is a notable local artist and has created a new piece of art every day for more than 15 years. 🤩\n\n> GIFs—as a file format, not as a category of thing you could use to express an opinion without formulating one—were special. “This was an art form that was native to the internet,” Matt Semke, a GIF artist who works under the name Cats Will Eat You, told me. “Videos existed in other places; paintings, photos existed in other places. GIFs just didn’t exist anywhere until the internet.” And they were beloved because of the seamless animated loop, which was not possible with any other file format. Because of their unwieldiness and antiquation, today, many GIFs are converted to MP4 video files, which look good and make life easier but do not loop perfectly. There is always a tiny hiccup when the video has to restart, making them inferior.\n\nIs it possible that GIFs are the vinyl record of the Internet? Not as convenient, not as fast, not as smooth — but so what!?\n\nForever is a really big word, but I would feel very confident saying that GIF is a file format that will be around forever.

There is an important and vocal effort online focused on a more distributed web. DWeb is a term, but I think IndieWeb is more closely aligned to it. I’m a fan and proponent of this myself. I think anyone that is still actively blogging on their own website is expressing this. It is the opposition movement to the centralization of social media and large corporations hosting all of our personal content. \n\nOn the other side you have Web3, which I’m also a fan and proponent of. Web3 has a strong push as well for decentralization. In the IndieWeb community there is a strong focus on hosting your own content, on Web3 the parallel is to manage your own keys and control your assets. Don't rely on others to do it for you. \"Not your keys, not your crypto\" is the saying.\n\nThere is a good amount of alignment between these communities, but ultimately more disagreement. The two areas I see this disagreement are:\n\n1. Indieweb is also relatively non-commercial. Indieweb fans do use services, but they tend to rely on smaller services. Sure money is part of the web, but it isn't a focus and people in the Indieweb movement are not looking to get rich. The Web3 space has a price on everything, and sadly has more than I care \"crypto bros\" just looking to get rich and not doing anything real. Everything having a price seems to push the Indieweb community out. I would suggest that everything having a price is also a way to create a robust and self-sustaining ecosystem. \n2. The energy usage of Web3 offends many in the Indieweb community. I've seen this myself when talking with friends in Indieweb. On both sides I think this issue gets more about winning and talking points than a real dialogue. Much is shared about cryptos energy usage, but traditional data centers also use a ton of energy. Additionally, the more \"indie\" style crypto solutions like Gnosis Chain are already incredibly energy efficient, and Ethereum is now post-merge and is energy efficient. So, this point is getting less valid every day, and the tradeoffs are not as simple as many put it.\n\nPersonally I think these movements need to come together. A more decentralized, and economically robust web is what we need. There are two sides of the solution right in front of us, but it requires us to shed the marketing terms and get out of our tribes to see how it can all work together. Because it absolutely can.\n","saved":"2022-10-05T12:45:29Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"6cb0de32061b19d7a103b2a8c165570e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b77742d74ed9/","kind":"page"},

I can relate to having times where I feel a need to disconnect and make sure I ground myself. Having some part of our lives lived online does create new social and psychological dynamics that we are still trying to understand.\n\n> “It’s kind of an adapted hyper-vigilance. As soon as you send something out into the virtual world, you’re sort of sitting on pins and needles waiting for a response,” Lembke says. “That alone—that kind of expectancy—is a state of hyperarousal. How will people respond to this? When will they respond? What will they say?”\n\nThese feedback loops, that are part of the mechanism social media uses to create addiction, for sure create anxiety. Every time you see a \"Like\" button it is really a tool to drive machine learning adjustments and create feedback loops to drive more engagement. Personally I've worked hard to disconnect myself from these loops. This is *part* of the reason I don't track any clicks on the Weekly Thing. First, I don't want to invade your privacy. But I also don't want to \"feel bad\" because nobody clicked on something. That isn't why I do this, and I don't need or want that information. \n\nI like to think about the idea of \"write-only\" mode for online activity. Many bloggers operate in \"write-only\" mode. It is hard in some sense because you intentionally deprive yourself of these feedback loops. But operating in \"write-only\" also has benefits. It is the opposite of lurking, or \"read-only\" mode.

In fact, I remember setting up some Unix machines in the mid-90's before NTP was just installed automatically and going through the effort to determine which \"strata\" of time server I should synchronize with, and how to adjust and manage the local drift of my machines clock. It turns out NTP, and the fact that systems can assume they have a very nearly perfect time, is really important for so many applications. And NTP has done that job for decades.\n\nNow, when I see the New Yorker is writing about Network Time Protocol it raised my interest. This is not glamorous stuff, but the background of the author and the software is a fun read. \n\n> N.T.P. works by telling computers to send tiny, time-stamped messages to time-checking devices superior to them in a hierarchy. The hierarchy’s uppermost layer consists of servers that are closely connected to highly accurate clocks kept in tight synchronization with Coördinated Universal Time. The time then trickles, from strata to strata, to the machines at the bottom of the hierarchy, such as ordinary laptops. The protocol tracks the instants that elapse as a time-checking message is sent, received, returned, and received again by its original sender. \n\nOkay, someone needs to fill in the folks at the New Yorker that yes NTP is an acronym, but no you should not write it as \"N.T.P.\" all the time. Lose the periods. \n\nThe article is filled with the kind of esoteric details like leap seconds that programmers have to deal with, and most everyone else has no idea even exists. It is also another story of foundational software led by programmers that are now getting very old and unable to maintain the software or the community further. There are a surprising number of projects that have to go through these transitions, and it is often very difficult.

Consider other domains for a moment. Would you ask someone that doesn't know finance to be a CFO? Would a company have a head of sales that doesn't know how to sell? The answer is a solid no to both. Yet there is active debate on wether technology leaders, particularly CIO and CTO, need to be technical. **Unequivocally the answer is yes.** You cannot lead a function that you don't understand, and even more importantly, love and have passion for!\n\nAgarwal highlights 5 distinct reasons why you need highly technical leaders in technology. I would agree with all of them, and maybe add some color.\n\n1. Know the difference between good and great is important not just to build good solutions, but also for the team. Technologists don't value praise that is unqualified. (Nobody does really.)\n2. Tradeoffs need to be made all the time, and having technical depth results in better tradeoffs.\n3. I totally agree with Agarwal's point on commanding respect, but I disagree with his example. Respect comes from depth of experience and breadth of understanding, it is less often from being the best coder.\n4. I totally agree with his passion point, and there is absolutely a viral aspect of that passion in teams.\n5. Recruiting I agree a thousand percent. Technology is about learning, and great talent wants to be some place where they can learn with others.\n\nMy only disagreement with this essay is his assertion that a CTO should pass the coding interview. I disagree. He even suggests they should excel at it. I think this is where Agarwal falls into the trap of equating being a technologist with being a coder. I just don't see that as the case. Look at other fields for examples. Are all great architects also great carpenters? No. Are all great tennis coaches the best tennis players? No. Are all great conductors the best violinists? No. \n\nBeing a great coder is a specific, highly respected and revered skill. Your best coders had better be way better coders than your CTO.

So my 1 Lil Noun is 0.0002473% voting power in Nouns DAO. \n\nNounlets are a totally different approach. Nounlets take a Noun in NounDAO and you can buy a voting right in that Noun. You only by 1% voting rights, so the Noun is divided up into 100 and each lot is sold. Interestingly, 1 Nounlet gets you 0.0022% voting power in Nouns DAO, or 10x the voting power of 1 LilNoun. LilNouns go for 0.15 ETH minimum. Nounlets are going for about 1 ETH. About 6x the cost, for 10x the voting power. \n\nI’m honestly not all that sure what to make of all of this, but I find the process of exploring it very interesting.","saved":"2022-09-26T23:01:36Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"bc13b910f13f3d624961a16c622cabb7","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/072f6bc9f831/","kind":"page"},

It Is amazing how much of this is done in emulators (the ARM emulator was in BASIC!), and also how small the team was. \n\n> These amazing results spurred the small team to finish the job. The design for the first ARM CPU was sent to be fabricated at VLSI Technology Inc., an American semiconductor manufacturing firm. The first version of the chip came back to Acorn on April 26, 1985. Wilson plugged it into the Tube slot on the BBC Micro, loaded up the ported-to-ARM version of BBC BASIC, and tested it with a special PRINT command. The chip replied, “Hello World, I am ARM,” and the team cracked open a bottle of champagne.\n\nIf this type of story is at all interesting to you would strongly recommend reading Kidder's \"[The Should of a New Machine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Soul_of_a_New_Machine)\" which tells the history of Data General.","saved":"2022-09-25T15:40:27Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"c1f283039bed0c0cea94d71748031609","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1a5b4c9f64af/","kind":"page"},

Apple is continuing to build out Focus Modes, and tying those into Lock Screens and additional widgets.

As I read Kaiser's thoughts I noted that his reading list is very similar to mine. I’m a big fan of Peter Drucker and I like that he starts and ends this assessment with Drucker's thinking on knowledge work.\n\n> It is then management’s job to ensure there is enough context for everyone on the team to be able to pursue the correct results. They do this by gathering, and then distributing context for the team. This ideally empowers the team to lead themselves, directing their efforts to the most effective outputs, given the current situation at hand. \n\nThe points in this article are valid. A side note, I prefer the term Software Development over Software Engineering because I believe the term engineering implies a precision that is lacking. In fact, leading a team of developers is more akin to leading a team of artists. It is fundamentally a creative process.\n\nI would add more to Kaiser's conclusion, but I think he hits the big parts right.\n\n> Going back to Drucker, a **manager’s job is to prepare people to perform, and to give them freedom to do so.**\n> \n> Creative people need psychological safety in order to perform. An effective manager provides this, along with coaching to help reports become more effective versions of themselves. This should then allow them to reap long term rewards.\n> \n> An effective manager builds trust and space for their reports to execute, along with guidance for where their efforts will have the largest impact, helping them to continue growing in their career.\n> \n> An effective manager cares for their team, their work, and its effect beyond the immediate organization. They are stewards first, realizing that much is beyond their control.\n\n🎨","saved":"2022-09-16T01:25:35Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"bec5f3eddf5223fcea454909f30e0a98","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8d2e2304b7d4/","kind":"page"},

I find it a curious topic. I also use [Waking Up](https://www.wakingup.com) as part of my meditation practice and it frequently touches on the topic \"self\", as well as inferences of free will not existing. \n\nThis insightful podcast hits on all of those topics. I certainly have an idea that my mind and my self are different, or that my body and my self are, and that free will and self can be applied to these entities of mind and body. The argument in this podcast is that that is rubbish. There is no self, you are your body and your mind. There is no other. \n\nOf course the obvious question is why does this matter? My read is that if we identify a self independent of our mind and body, we are never truly present in our own being. But this quickly gets into a realm that is way beyond my depth. \n\nI will likely listen to this podcast a couple more times.

I've said for years that a career in technology is a career in learning.

Note that the mean and standard deviation of this measure are ~3 and ~1 respectively, so computer-related jobs are nearly two standard deviations away from the typical job in America\n\nI hadn't really considered the continual learning demand of technology compared to other professions. The need for continual learning and the demands of that over decades of a career can be challenging. \n\nThe argument, that to get and keep enough talent you have to slow down the rate of change, has some merit to it. We all know this in tech. You can’t just adopt every new language and tool in part because not enough people know it.

This article suggests however that Apple is showing strains and getting performance at a greater cost than should be expected.\n\n> The core itself is 21% larger than in M1, and 7% larger than A15. The big area of gen-on-gen growth is with the shared L2 cache which has gone from 12MB to 16MB compared to both M1 and A15. The AMX unit looks identical across A15 and M1 as well. The shared logic plane is also significantly larger which is is an indication that there is more bandwidth between the cores and the L2 cache and SLC. Overall, Apple spent 5.2mm2 on the big P-Cores, but the performance increase from them comes mostly from clock speeds.\n\nThis isn't the first time I've seen suggestions that the performance ramp isn't working on Apple Silicon. It is all conjecture though, so only time will tell. It is intriguing to me how they dissect the chip and think about the layout.

Good question. Ask yourself what makes you an identifiable person? The answer to that is really \"for who?\". For the government, your Social Security number is that. If you work for a company you have some identifier. The question being posed here is can we identify a unique person without centralized organizations? Maybe, but it is a lot harder than it may seem.\n\n> Self-sovereign identity is one of those things that sounds wonderful at a glance, but can get pretty dystopian the more you start to think about it. Conversely, centrally-controlled identifiers left to governments and corporations have their own obvious and serious issues particularly when it comes to marginalized groups, oppressive governments, and access.\n\nThis topic is related to crypto technology but not necessarily the same. The same way crypto argues that people should be able to have their own way of storing and transacting value without a central entity, this tech argues that we should be able to assert and prove our identity without a central entity. Leave the Social Security number at home.\n\n> Digital identity has its own trilemma: privacy, Sybil resistance, and decentralization.\n\nI setup a BrightID profile a few weeks back because there are several crypto projects that use it as a way of validating you. BrightID is not perfect and this article highlights many issues with it, and all approaches to this problem.\n\nI do think this is an interesting problem to solve, and could unlock some very compelling real-world use cases when combined with other things.","saved":"2022-06-16T01:09:51Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"de47cbfe8629a74e5d4ff302f4ee207f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0def2c13350a/","kind":"page"},

One of the most striking analogies used to describe it was that CRISPR was to gene editing what the PC was to computing. That is a massive conjecture. It is hard to even imagine what that means if true.\n\n> The Perturb-seq method uses CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to introduce genetic changes into cells, and then uses single-cell RNA sequencing to capture information about the RNAs that are expressed resulting from a given genetic change. Because RNAs control all aspects of how cells behave, this method can help decode the many cellular effects of genetic changes.\n\nThis is an incredible level of detail.

First let me start though by saying that I would define Web2 and Web3 differently than the author. I tend to want to define those terms as technical things. The way this essay defines them is more common though. I also don't think that Web2 and Web3 are _versus_ each other, but can live together. However, the main point of this article is about digital identities and I accept there may be more versus in that context. \n\nI also love that significant context is presented.\n\n> Social apps or content with just the right combination of uniqueness, design genius and luck had hit the jackpot and acquired millions of customers within hours. And so they poured their ideas, talent and cash into these platforms, adding even more appealing media and interactivity, fostering even deeper engagement without any additional cost to the network. And despite the grumbles about unfair practices or addictive behaviors, all this just made the networks more essential. The flood of users kept pouring in.\n\nThere are seven primary benefits that are highlighted for Web3.\n\n- Platform wealth and economic sharing\n- Content ownership and rights\n- The happy accident of NFTs\n- Lies, hype and bots\n- Governance, individual influence and moderation\n- Permissionless development and composability\n- New models of work and collaboration\n\nThe primary punchline is that decentralization is not enough. Use X instead of Y because it is \"decentralized\" is not going to succeed. The vast majority of people don't care. It sounds like technobabble. While that decentralization may be the critical difference, it will have to show up as value in ease-of-use, durability, something that people can associate value with. \n\nThe essay leaves us with this interesting question (emphasis mine).\n\n> Right now, and for the foreseeable future, follower graphs on centralized social networks are a source of significant and enduring value. We see in every dimension of our society how efficiently that influence can be translated into financial, political and cultural gain. So to ask our question another way: **Will there be a time when most users’ on-chain identities and reputations are more valuable to them than their centralized social network follower count and composition?**\n\nThis is a great way to prompt this question, and gets to the root of the matter. Your digital identity is a core aspect of _you_. Speaking for myself, and I don't always like this, but I for sure am willing to put up with more frustration the closer a platform is to my digital identity. I have many concerns with Twitter, but because I made it part of my digital identity, getting rid of it is much more difficult than say [deleting my Reddit account](https://www.thingelstad.com/2015/07/12/see-ya-reddit.html).\n\nThe other thing this made me think of is [OpenID](https://openid.net). OpenID suggests that a user should sign in with their website. I think for many people this is broken from the beginning, because they don't have their own websites. There are ways around that, like making Twitter or Github an OpenID provider. But still the thesis is a niche. However, even in that niche I think it is weird. I've had my own website for over two decades, but I don't think of my website as my identity. It is where I publish my blog. The same as I don't think of my house as my identity. These are things that provide value to me, and sometimes others. \n\nAnd this is where my \"aha\" was with the question.\n\n> Will there be a time when most users’ on-chain identities and reputations are more valuable to them than their centralized social network follower count and composition?\n\nMaybe. \n\nI've _felt_ this first-hand with the use of Ethereum Name Service. ENS is very different from DNS in many ways, even though they are only one letter apart. DNS allows a name like thingelstad.com to point to some server on the Internet and give you my website. ENS allows a name like thingelstad.eth to point to some account ID on a blockchain and connect to me, or some entity. That last part is the difference, and it is big. thingelstad.com is my website. thingelstad.eth is really, me. And in it I can publish my name, email, my website, a profile photo. I can publish my addresses on multiple platforms and let you know \"Hey, I’m over on Solana too!\", or \"Check out my Tezos adderess\". You can also see my collection of NFTs, including my POAPs that tell a whole story. \n\nSo, can this usurp the centralized Twitter profile? Maybe. Is it part of my digital identity, for sure. But digital identity is a big surface area and _no one_ technology or solution will likely ever be the whole thing. Oh, and to compare to OpenID, connecting with thingelstad.eth and authenticating in my wallet _feels_ totally normal, simple and easy.\n","saved":"2022-06-09T11:32:17Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"6670c599bb6dbccefee1e5e312da339a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6e73c1f6f889/","kind":"page"},

Perhaps the most out-of-character thing I do is I _do not_ run these betas. It is some combination of me deferring the fun until it is done and I can have it all, and not wanting my critical devices to not work when I need them. I still love to read in great detail about what is coming.\n\n- Lock Screen improvements are nice. This will make all the Android people you know laugh since they've had this since, well, forever.\n- Live Activities are intriguing. I could see using this for soccer matches to keep up-to-date.\n- Focus mode is getting real-world learning folded back in. I want to love Focus Mode but it isn't there yet. I think it will get there, and the concept is good. It is just hard to execute.\n- Messages getting even more powerful features. Messages is a dark horse for Apple, so much activity and tie-in there.\n- Dictation might be getting to the point where it is time to learn how to use it. \n- I’m truly excited about the improvements in Mail. That is one of my workhorse apps.\n- Stage Manager on iPadOS could be **huge**.

Microsoft, Google, and Apple are working together on this. Color me super skeptical. I'll stick with 1Password for now and do the extra work.\n- You can now share your entire iCloud Photo Library. This is a big deal and was a head scratching miss. I tend to take the pictures in the family, and it will be nice that now Tammy can just get access to all of them too!\n- Handoff support for FaceTime will be curious.

I've always struggled with the idea of creating a content about a niche. Most every piece of advice you can find about creating a website or newsletter is about finding your niche. I can never answer that question. It has made me feel like it is something I’m missing by not doing. \n\nBut this idea of a mode I love. I think about this often. I love the mode of discovery, exploration, and learning. Those verbs tend to align with nouns like technology, leadership, privacy, productivity. Very notably the nouns may evolve and chnage as a result of, well, discovery, exploration, and learning. \n\nI think of the Weekly Thing as a way to share that journey. I guess it is a **mode**, not a niche. \n\nI've been asked by a lot of people how to start publishing a blog, or writing a newsletter. I think my advice to them always fall flat. The first step is to just start writing. About what? Whatever is on your mind. I love to highlight that one of my very first blog posts from 2004 was about getting [rain gutters installed](https://www.thingelstad.com/2004/06/07/rain-gutters-installed.html). \n\nNow though I understand that they are looking for a niche.

It is one I don't like, because in some way it seems like giving up on finding the solution to what went wrong. This article walking through the various state progression of the computer is a good way to think about this.\n\n> At this point, any attempt to bring your system back directly from the broken state into a working state is improvisational. We are no longer like the classically trained violist from Juilliard performing a Mozart sonata after rehearsing it a thousand times; we are now playing jazz. And in the engineering of reliable systems, we do not want our systems to improvise.\n> \n> So, what should we do to fix the system?\n> \n> Turn it off, and turn it on again. _Anything else is less principled._\n\nI like the \"various layers of abstraction\" view. Killing a process is just a smaller version of turning it off and on again.\n\n> And yet, of course, we do not throw out our computers and buy new ones every time a program does something wrong. So the story of system repair is one of “turning it off and on again” at various layers of abstraction. At each layer, we hope that we can purge the corruption by discarding some compartmentalized state, and replacing it with a known start state, from which we can enter a highly reliable reinitialization sequence that ends in a working state.\n\nThe ultimate conclusion of the article is that software that is more brittle, will break faster, and thus get fixed sooner. Ultimately an overall better thing for the system itself. While it is not referenced, this is a strong argument for strongly typed languages, amongst other things.","saved":"2022-05-26T11:22:13Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"ffad96f1618331a2148e248271189ce9","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3a9a94662c96/","kind":"page"},

I've been a practitioner of GTD for over a decade now. I consider it a life skill, something that I will focus on and improve on over many years. \n\n> What GTD gives you—when understood and implemented properly—is a foolproof system for keeping track of what you need to do, should do, or should consider to do. When your system and your trust in your system is in place, your subconsciousness will stop keeping track of all the things you need to do and stop constantly reminding you. This reduces stress and frees up precious brain time to more productive thinking—maybe it even saves real time so that you have more time for ballet lessons, painting classes, and roller-blading.\n\nI like that this highlights the true benefit of GTD. It is **not** a productivity system to allow you to do even more, although you may be able to. It is intended to allow you to be in the moment, focus on the things in front of you, knowing that your trusted system has you covered. That you can forget about other things and it will be there when you need it.","saved":"2022-05-26T11:22:11Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2b01c916b1878771e0823cb413709869","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/37826d753929/","kind":"page"},

Given Vitalik's recent use of the term \"[soulbound](https://vitalik.ca/general/2022/01/26/soulbound.html)\", the track record for naming things may not be so great. 😂\n\n> Smart contracts aren’t contracts, that’s a financial or legal framing.

So I do stress about whether their particular product strategy is solid, or whether the person is prepared for an upcoming executive review or a board meeting.  Just as their manager should.

One of Buterin’s recent posts calls for the creation of a new type of NFT, based not on monetary value but on participation and identity. For instance, the allocation of votes in an organization might be determined by the commitment an individual has shown to the group, as opposed to the number of tokens they own. “NFTs can represent much more of who you are and not just what you can afford,” he [writes](https://vitalik.ca/general/2022/01/26/soulbound.html).\n\nI share the concerns that Buterin highlights in this interview.

Typically queue performance decreases exponentially as the queue gets more messages on it.\n\n> To reiterate:\n> \n> **As you approach maximum throughput, average queue size – and therefore average wait time – approaches infinity.**\n> \n> What’s the solution, then? We only have so many variables to work with in a queueing system. Any solution for the exploding-queue-size problem is going to involve some combination of these three approaches:\n> \n> 1. Increase capacity\n> 2. Decrease demand\n> 3. Set an upper bound for the queue size\n>\n> I like number 3. It forces you to acknowledge the fact that queue size is always finite, and to think through the failure modes that a full queue will engender.\n\nI agree with the author here, not limiting a queue at some point is the equivalent of ignoring error messages. Extra credit can be achieved here by introducing some chaos engineering. How about having your queue server reject 0.1% requests all the time, and then enforce the maximum. \n\nThe complicated aspect here is that the queue server cannot determine the maximum, because it dramatically will change with the size and type of messages on the queue.","saved":"2022-03-11T03:12:19Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"761217d8b78bf29fd24f9254f9fcdf69","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/43523a674956/","kind":"page"},

Exercising restraint is hard. Protecting other people from the full brunt of our frustration—which is almost always driven by underlying fear, insecurities, and anxiety—takes work. We want to give in to the urge to wallow, to do damage, to invite company into our misery. We also can feel closer to others when we expose them to our raw emotion, and if there’s one reliable truth about human psychology, it’s that we desire connection so much that we’ll take it in negative forms when we can’t get positive ones.\n\nFor me, meditation and breathing are by far the most effective ways to deal with negative feelings.","saved":"2022-03-11T03:12:18Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"11eba3bddf10f886d8145b098f1111a6","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/2256ed976265/","kind":"page"},

I would do nothing.

One that should be put somewhere to reflect upon occasionally. Organizations usually remember this, but sometimes forget it. And technologists have all the wrong instincts here… \n\n> When we design software systems, we learn to think deeply about corner cases. We code defensively, making sure our systems handle all sorts of uncommon events. Amazon promises 99.999999999% reliability on objects stored in S3, and even then I’ve written code that handles the 0.000000001% chance that an object disappears.\n> \n> Designing human systems is different. Computers don’t have emotions; I don’t need to worry insulting the vast majority of S3 objects when I defensively check integrity every time. But humans are different; when we design a human system around uncommon cases, we do need to consider the ramifications on the majority. There are times – and this is one of them – where addressing outlandish behavior requires steps that are just unacceptable.\n\nEngineers must design to accommodate all the potential outcomes, which makes sense in a world of machine and logic.

I think the broad adoption and familiarity with technology like Zoom has been a huge game changer. I lead a global team of nearly 500 people and over half of them live nowhere close to me. Using Zoom has allowed me to build better and more meaningful connections. In the past I used to wait for trips, now I do things much more as needed. This is all a good thing, and we should continue to adopt and take advantage of all of this. \n\nHowever, I also don't believe for a second that our brains are fooled by this technology. Yes, you can see and interact with people better than we ever have before. But your brain isn't experiencing another human, it is seeing a 2D pixel image. The serotonin that would be released? Not for this experience. \n\n> Every single of these senses, yeah, even vestibular and proprioception, are limited in a video conference call. You do not see the entire person; you see them from the chest up. Your hearing is limited and frustratingly altered by the milliseconds of lag and subsequent awkward interruptions to the conversation when someone attempts to insert a vital fact only stomped by the current speaker who hasn’t heard the interruption yet. You probably don’t think smell, like taste, is essential, but that is because you’ve been sitting all by your lonesome in your home office for the two+ years (like me) and have forgotten that smell, while not critical, contributes to the information tapestry of an in-person. And touch, the feel of the table in front of you. The slight echo you feel in the wood when someone sets their coffee cup on the table.\n\n**We are not digital beings.** We can simulate various experiences in that world, and at times that is vastly superior than any other options.

The term was first used by Ward Cunningham and many very smart software people have further refined it over the years. In practice though it isn't a very effective way to dialogue about, and come to solutions, about better approaches and ultimately refactoring solutions. Why? \n\n> Companies and business leaders don’t care if jobs are hard or annoying or take longer than they “should”. The difference between a user story taking a day or 3 days is negligible compared to its business value. Companies and their leaders care about revenue and costs. They care about customers and growth. They care about time to market. If we want to have our non-technical colleagues listen and act, we need to either improve our use of the financial terms they understand or we need to translate our message into business outcomes that they do care about.\n\nInside a project or service team I think the shorthand of technical debt is find. But when communicating with others, it doesn't work well. Rather than talking about technical debt it is better to focus on the value that can be created, even indirect value like \"shipping faster.\" **It is all about selling an investment and the benefits it can provide!**","saved":"2022-02-17T23:47:59Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"38fc77bcd2992e326df96a80176a79c0","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f2f0ec1eb072/","kind":"page"},

Writing is thinking, and the act of writing refines and clarifies your thoughts and ideas.\n\n> Writing about something, even something you know well, usually shows you that you didn't know it as well as you thought. Putting ideas into words is a severe test. The first words you choose are usually wrong; you have to rewrite sentences over and over to get them exactly right. And your ideas won't just be imprecise, but incomplete too. Half the ideas that end up in an essay will be ones you thought of while you were writing it. Indeed, that's why I write them.\n\nI have had ideas that swirl around in my head and then when I attempt to write them down they fall apart. In truth it was a collection of vignettes that I thought connected together but refused to when attempting to write it out.\n\n> The reason I've spent so long establishing this rather obvious point is that it leads to another that many people will find shocking. If writing down your ideas always makes them more precise and more complete, then no one who hasn't written about a topic has fully formed ideas about it. And someone who never writes has no fully formed ideas about anything nontrivial.\n\nGraham was going down a path that I had been down myself before but when he flipped it, showed the corollary, that was a \"oh, wow\" moment. If you believe the former, you must believe the later. It isn't a new statement, just an inverse of the accepted point above. \n\nI want to extend this a bit to highlight two things:\n\n1. Tweets and social media comments are not writing. \n2. Bullet lists of utterances and assertions is not writing.\n\nThe trick with writing is creating the mental image, the full context, of the thing that you are writing about. Bullets allow you to simply state points but lazily skip the work of making it a complete thought. Tweets are even worse, as if they are a single, hanging bullet without context, intent, or insight.\n\n\n","saved":"2022-02-17T23:47:59Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"f3c0c2c06259fa1c3356b77cf7c67903","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4a716ad4ef00/","kind":"page"},

Many teams end up with two kinds of backlogs – one product-focused and one tech-focused.\n\nHaving two backlogs is agreeing to not agree. It creates so many negative issues, this article highlights some of them. If you see this practice, do everything you can to stop it immediately. \n\nOverall I think he approach framed up here is spot on for addressing this topic. The most important aspect is for technologists to understand how to communicate the abstract concept of tech debt in terms that make sense in a market context.\n\n> Your best strategy here is to understand how to give that context in the language your stakeholders speak. \"Well, it's trivial why this is important\" won't work. There are 50 other items in your backlog which is \"trivially important\" to them. Also, please don't make it about yourself. It's great that you're passionate about fixing this, but if it sounds like your pet project without any further argument, it likely won't get prioritized. I'll show you a few ways to frame your views. **Spoiler: it's all about connecting the dots from your tech debt items to your internal or external customers and the product's performance.**\n\nI added the bold. If you find yourself unable to get attention to these matters, I guarantee the issue is how it is being communicated. \n\nThere are a number of good suggestions outlined here to address technical debt.","saved":"2022-02-02T03:13:58Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"89a8562c58591f7a24772d1feb971ee7","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/60555e8e5ee0/","kind":"page"},

I was curious if his thinking mirrored mine, and it does, with some nuance.\n\n> You can decide you’re just not up for all these proprietary APIs. But then you’re going to need to hire more people, you won’t be able to deliver solutions as fast, and you’ll (probably) end up spending more money.\n\nGiven all the variables of time-to-market, finding technology talent, scaling and managing infrastructure I think the best choice is to use your cloud provider to maximum benefit. This way I get the maximum return on that spend. If the time comes that I need to shift, then those costs need to be absorbed. But that is an \"if\". There is some percent chance that will be needed that is not 100%.\n\nIf I deny the benefits to defray that potential future, I will 100% not get the benefit that I could get. So I would be intentionally deciding to reduce my benefit in the short term, and would be guaranteed to have to absorb that gap. \n\nI'll take the benefit now, and manage the risk on the long term.","saved":"2022-02-02T03:13:57Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a2f00ecab661baecffe837253413a617","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/fac7a52c57ed/","kind":"page"},

In the last 3-4 months they started to make some significant changes to set themselves up for the next phase. Overall, I’m excited for the team that they have formalized the project to a company, and they have successfully raised funding to help make it all work.

POAP could have also formalized itself around a DAO. It could have allowed people to buy in and be part of it. Instead they pursued a closed, traditional means of raising money. Opensea also did this recently. I can give Opensea a bit of a pass because they are so much bigger, but I think POAP could have taken a different path.

I can’t help but want to root for Intel. They are a stalwart of technology, and we need to have multiple companies innovating for the best circuits.\n\nIt is pretty interesting to read this take from Thompson, and the extensive excerpts he pulls in. \n\n> The problem is that Intel, used to inventing its own tools and processes, gradually fell behind the curve on standardization; yes, the company had partnerships with EDA companies like Synopsys and Cadence, but most of the company’s work was done on its own homegrown tools, tuned to its own fabs. This made it very difficult to be an Intel Custom Foundry customer; worse, Intel itself was wasting time building tools that once were differentiators, but now were commodities.\n\nSo Intel became too vertically integrated and as a result couldn't take advantage of the innovation happening all around it? That can be okay if you are leading in all categories, but if any **one** of your capabilities falters everything goes down with it. \n\n> Intel is obviously not splitting up, but this TSMC investment sure makes it seem like Gelsinger recognizes the straitjacket Intel was in, and is doing everything possible to get out of it. To that end, it seems increasingly clear that the goal is to de-integrate Intel: Intel the design company is basically going fabless, giving its business to the best foundry in the world, whether or not that foundry is Intel; Intel the manufacturing company, meanwhile, has to earn its way (with exclusive access to x86 IP blocks as a carrot for hyperscalers building their own chips), including with Intel’s own CPUs.\n\nThis is a huge bet. I hope it works out! 🤞","saved":"2022-01-20T23:04:05Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"26bd3501c65ee339353ed1f65b7d8ba5","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8b4b6c608bf5/","kind":"page"},

However, you reach a point of scale where you need architecture, and in fact you need enterprise architects. Without them I can guarantee you will go slower. However, it is key that those architects determine how to engage with teams in a way that does not slow down delivery, and is empowering to creating great solutions.\n\n> Architecture need not be a monologue; delivered top-down from the minds and mouths of a centralised few. This article describes another way to do architecture; as a series of conversations, driven by a decentralised and empowering decision-making technique, and supported by four learning and alignment mechanisms: Decision Records, Advisory Forum, Team-sourced Principles, and a Technology Radar\n\nYes! That sounds like the way to do it. I like so much of this article and think it hits on many of the ways that I have seen architecture done right in a modern service team model. My only edit would be to remove the word \"anarchist\" from the article, as I think it is distracting and not the desired intent.\n\nTwo things that caught me in this. The first was this line.\n\n> Other times the sheer number of folks impacted makes the decide-ee think again. Is this thing which might make their life a little bit easier really worth the effort of consulting all those people? Or, can they split this large decision into multiple, smaller decisions? When decisions do proceed, they are frequently right-sized purely as a matter of expediency.\n\nHow interesting, and what a good way to frame up an issue. If you are attempting to make a change that requires you to engage a dozen teams, your change is likely too big! This sounds a lot like story points, if your story points are too big, you probably don't know what you are attempting to do. I think many would see the above as a sign of beuaracracy, but flipping the narrative on it is a much more appropriate view. \n\nI love this bit...\n\n> To me, it is this architecture, the one which is in the heads of those writing the code, that is the most important. In adopting this decentralised approach, where the practice of architectural decision-making is much more dispersed, this problem is in many ways, mitigated.\n\nI often refer to this as the **mental model** that is in your teams head. It is **incredibly** important that all of your service teams share a macro mental model of how their services are potentially being orchestrated. Teams don't need this in detail for anything beyond their specific services, but the general model, the map, must be known by all.\n\nThe tools recommended are compelling and simple.. \n\n> There are four of them:\n> \n> 1. a thinking and recording tool\n> 2. a time and place for conversations;\n> 3. a light to illuminate and guide towards a unified direction;\n> 4. a means to sense the current technical landscape and climate.\n\nPragmatic, light, decentralized. Great approach.","saved":"2021-12-09T12:25:39Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"27dd96cc6b133cb2b7e9c8b6fc3728de","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/08d7f9105811/","kind":"page"},

And now Kickstarter is going to build a Web3 version of itself!\n\n> So, today we’re announcing our commitment to a more open, collaborative, and decentralized future. As a first step, we’re supporting the development of an open source protocol that will essentially create a decentralized version of Kickstarter’s core functionality. This will live on a public blockchain, and be available for collaborators, independent contributors, and even Kickstarter competitors, from all over the world to build upon, connect to, or use. We think bringing all that we’ve learned about crowdfunding since 2009 to inform the development of a decentralized protocol will open up exciting new opportunities for creative projects to come to life. In the coming weeks, a white paper will be released outlining the technology and plans for the protocol.\n\nThis is a long play, but it makes incredible sense to me. Think about it, even today Web3 capabilities like NFTs have a potential to dislodge Kickstarter. Instead of getting a bunch of backers on Kickstarter, I could sell different NFT's for each level of my project and people could redeem them (burn them) for the reward at the end. How interesting that the token could even be sold at a profit or loss, before the project ships. Very interesting stuff, so it makes total sense to me that Kickstarter itself should be here. Notable also that they are choosing a carbon-negative blockchain, [Celo](https://celo.org/), to develop the protocol on.","saved":"2021-12-09T03:26:21Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a948fa8e92fa5efc7b5627c90d28b637","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/bfd6a3870ac3/","kind":"page"},

Here she takes on, at a foundational level, the tradeoffs of decentralization and how various solutions fall on that spectrum. This is not a Boolean, but instead is a sliding scale that can be optimized to a solution. \n\n> Here’s another way to phrase the question. Since we know that there are use-cases for fully centralized databases (e.g. Twitter or Amazon Web Services), as well as use-cases for fully decentralized databases (e.g. the Bitcoin network), are there use-cases for a partially-centralized and partially-decentralized database?\n> \n> If the answer is yes, then that’s basically the steel man argument for the existence of base-layer smart contract blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Algorand, and more.\n> \n> This set of hypothetical partially-decentralized databases wouldn’t conceptually compete with Bitcoin as truly decentralized immutable asset, but could they coexist alongside Bitcoin indefinitely as a semi-open operating system for apps that benefit from partial auditability or partially-decentralized control?\n\nI think that her nod toward a future where we have multiple solutions that have differing levels of centralization and protection is most likely. Based on the problem that you are solving, and the protocol needs, you should develop on a platform that provides you the tradeoffs that make sense. This has been true for everything we build in tech for as long as we've been building.

The upsetting posts that permeated these users’ feeds, the study determined, caused them to disconnect from Facebook for long periods and exacerbated hardships they were already experiencing.\n> \n> For instance, Facebook repeatedly showed a middle-aged Black woman posts about racial resentment and videos of people bullying children, threatening, and killing other people. A person who joined a Narcotics Anonymous Facebook group started seeing ads, recommendations, and posts about alcoholic beverages. Soon after another person started following coupon and savings pages, their feed became inundated with financial scams.\n\nAt this point how can anyone really feel good about using any Facebook property?

I’m really happy that [I got to be part of this](https://www.thingelstad.com/2021/11/17/constituiondao.html), even if it ultimately didn’t work out. I did [get a POAP](https://app.poap.xyz/token/2759387) out of it. 😊\n\nThere has been some blowback to the core group organizing this and I think it is unfortunate. Everyone can get their refunds back, [I did](https://etherscan.io/tx/0xe9299d6b2eac5d245e800d7fc5e8f00386ba9cd2424ed509d8d4a66b91b67c8f), but there are a number of people that donated small amounts and those small amounts are often less than the gas feeds to withdraw the money. So, now the DAO has from some reports $17M in funds that make no sense to withdraw because the gas costs are higher than the amount. So, what the heck happens with that Ethereum? \n\nI feel bad for the folks behind this as some are accusing them of running this like a scam and I don't see any shred of evidence to support that. I think this is a project that got a lot of traction and movement and it simply moved too fast for anyone to stay on top of and have thought through everything. They raised $48M in what, four days?\n\nThe most notable thing to me was that this was advertised as a DAO but nothing that happened in it actually ran as a DAO. I think that is because the DAO wasn't going to be created until the Constitution was bought. At that point the PEOPLE tokens would have been issued and voting could have occurred. Until then, it was all up to the core group which has some people worked up. 🤷‍♂️","saved":"2021-11-24T01:24:01Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"6ca200f28b6ec1d6b792bd8ee6e18467","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/802f012fa6af/","kind":"page"},

The book defines knowledge graphs and provides a high-level overview of how they are used. It presents and contrasts popular graph models that are commonly used to represent data as graphs, and the languages by which they can be queried before describing how the resulting data graph can be enhanced with notions of schema, identity, and context. The book discusses how ontologies and rules can be used to encode knowledge as well as how inductive techniques — based on statistics, graph analytics, machine learning, etc. — can be used to encode and extract knowledge. It covers techniques for the creation, enrichment, assessment, and refinement of knowledge graphs and surveys recent open and enterprise knowledge graphs and the industries or applications within which they have been most widely adopted. The book closes by discussing the current limitations and future directions along which knowledge graphs are likely to evolve.\n\n🤔\n\nAs an aside, I love when authors remember that the web is a great publishing platform and you don't need to use proprietary formats for something like this.","saved":"2021-11-24T01:22:58Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"151ca09a2c3bb764949d81911043e110","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b3c9907deb8c/","kind":"page"},

The FTC vowed to ramp up enforcement on companies that fail to provide an “easy and simple” cancellation process, including an option that’s “at least as easy” as the one to subscribe.\n\nMany publications are like a Vegas casino — super easy to get in but it’s impossible to find the exit.

I've known several amazing technologists that were brilliant and creative yet could never finish a project, even though they could build the first 80% faster than anyone else.\n\n> Some people seem to view companies like a game of SimCity, where if you want more money, you can turn a knob, increase taxes, and get more money, uniformly impacting the city. But companies are not a game of SimCity. If you want more attrition and turn a knob that cranks that up, you don't get additional attrition that's sampled uniformly at random. People, as a whole, cannot be treated as an abstraction where the actions company leadership takes impacts everyone in the same way. The people who are most effective will be disproportionately likely to leave if you turn a knob that leads to increased attrition.\n\nEarly in my career I used to correct people anytime they used generic terms like \"we have 5 FTE's working on this.\" That labeling and thinking suggests that any person is just like another, and they are not. I don't do that anymore, and at scale you don't know all the individuals personally, but it is critical that managers in technology build that connection and individualized understanding of each person on their team.","saved":"2021-11-18T23:23:14Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e32d8292b3eb073f03f91066dc62f86f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a573537715bc/","kind":"page"},

In my observation, there is an implicit assumption that if we set the proper key results that are causally linked to the achievement of the objective, the setting of the key results will make it more likely that the objective will be achieved. But desire (as with hope) is simply not a strategy. The desire to achieve the named key results won’t cause those key results to happen. You may desire the substantial rise in your NPS, but if you are serving customers that your key competitor serves better than you do, your NPS is unlikely to rise — even though you really want it to.\n\nI can definitely see how leaders could think that clearly articulated OKRs are sufficient for your team.

One of his points resonated strongly with me.\n\n> - A large fraction of Web3’s magnetism comes from the value of the underlying cryptocurrencies. Therefore, a good diagnostic question to ask might be: would you still be curious about Web3 if those currencies were worthless, in dollar terms? For some people, the answer is “yes, absolutely”, because they find the foundational puzzles so compelling. For others, if they’re honest, the answer is “nnnot reallyyy”.\n\nI’m even older than Sloan, which he acknowledges is perhaps part of his perspective, but I would say this same line was true for Web 2.0 back in the day. People were learning about AJAX requests because they were going to write the next Web 2.0 app and be rich beyond their dreams. The web has had \"gold rush\" periods multiple times. Sometimes it is a mirage, but not always.\n\nI find it surprising that many digitally forward thinkers struggle with web3 stack because of the financial aspects of it. These same people are often extremely supportive of decentralization and dislike the huge influence that a couple of platforms have over the web today. There is almost a \"hippie\" version of decentralization that is preferred. But perhaps we can have decentralization with multiple economic models, which web3 is already doing. Look at the non-economic model of POAP tokens.","saved":"2021-11-18T23:20:19Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"0a8df7ac9058e5c4edb9ad52fdfc9ea2","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7888e6b90a0e/","kind":"page"},

What I understood was that Discord is a thing for gamers to connect around their clan or gaming group. That is where Discord started, and where most of its users still are, but I've slowly started dipping into Discord recently because it is being used by a handful of communities that I’m part of. [Club MacStories](https://www.macstories.net) has a Discord. [Matthew Cassinelli Shortcuts Membership](https://www.matthewcassinelli.com/membership/) has a Discord. Crypto projects like [POAP](https://poap.xyz), [ENS](https://ens.domains), [Angry Bunny Club](https://angrybunny.club). Anyway, you get the point.\n\nSo, this article landed on my radar and it is a great backgrounder on the history of Discord and the people behind it. The pivots that they have made are interesting. And the growth in recent years is simply incredible!\n\n> Last year, there were 6.7 million weekly active servers, essentially spaces with at least some conversation in a given week. This year, there are 19 million weekly active servers -- 3x YoY growth -- and the year isn’t even over yet. \n\n…😲… \n\n> More servers means more users. In 2017, Discord had 10 million monthly active users (MAUs). This year, just four years later, it boasts 150 million. For those keeping score at home, that’s 15x growth in four years, or a 96.8% CAGR. \n\n…🤯…\n\n> Discord’s revenue growth has outpaced even its user growth. From $5 million in 2016, Discord grew revenue to $130 million in 2020, good for an astonishing 126% CAGR over four years. \n\nThat revenue is just driven by the Discord Nitro subscription which is all end-user supported.\n\n> Discord is a social platform with a fast-growing user base and recurring revenue subscription product plus one of the most strategically important positions in the web3 value chain. The question is: will it respond to web3’s siren call? And if it does, how? \n\nThe CEO of Discord recently [shared a screenshot connecting to an Ethereum wallet](https://twitter.com/jasoncitron/status/1457841222995693570). It will be very curious to see how Discord pursuits this web3 area and how.","saved":"2021-11-12T00:20:22Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"62665e4f494e2df35f63e9e00516dff2","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/fe4e1d5c4aa1/","kind":"page"},

When I've thought about how to make a new kind of media company, one that has proper incentives, and isn't driven by clicks and attention, I actually thought that creating such an entity as a DAO may be a smart approach. \n\nHere, the former CEO of GoodReads, is starting a new organization to tackle these stated 5 problems in media:\n\n> **Problem #1:** We don’t agree on truth.  \n> **Problem #2:** The business model of digital advertising does not incentivize high quality, accurate content.  \n> **Problem #3:** It’s too hard to find good stuff to read in the limited time I have.  \n> **Problem #4:** Most of us are reading reactively, not proactively.  \n> **Problem #5:** Most of us are getting our information from too few sources.\n\nThe article doesn't touch on how they are going to solve these, but does go to the same place my head went…\n\n> We looked at these problems and asked ourselves: Why is there no dedicated application for reading news that helps to alleviate these problems? We are working on just that! We are building this using a combination of machine learning and community to curate, and as such we will eventually be structured not as a company but a nonprofit, community owned, decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).\n\nThe part I raise my eyebrow at is this says \"reading news\", not \"creating news\". I’m not sure just focusing on reading is sufficient. Either way, I will be curious to see how this evolves.

I've made it a practice to not get my phone out when I’m waiting for an elevator or on one. When you do that, you notice how many people do. Why? It lessens the awkward engagement with others on the elevator. But wait a second, phones don't work so well in elevators? I've watched people \"pull to refresh\" some feed on some never ending drivel of stuff and it won't update. **Your in a metal box!** But even when the damn phone isn't working the way it is supposed to, that is better than accidentally getting eye contact with someone else.\n\n> People will do anything than consider their dreadful reality.  \n> The greatest source of suffering for the modern man is the most banal: Boredom.  \n> We can’t survive even a minute without doing something.  \n> That’s why social media websites are so popular and so hard to quit.  \n\nWhen was the last time you were bored?

This slowdown is warehouse management related: very few warehouses are open 24 hours, and even if they are, many are so short staffed it doesn’t make much difference, they are so far behind schedule. It means that as a freight driver, I cannot pick up as much freight in a day as I used to, and since I can’t get as much freight on my truck, the whole supply chain is backed up. Freight simply isn’t moving.\n\nHis conclusion is pretty bleak.\n\n> My prediction is that nothing is going to change and the shipping crisis is only going to get worse. Nobody in the supply chain wants to pay to solve the problem. They literally just won’t pay to solve the problem. At the point we are at now, things are so backed up that the backups THEMSELVES are causing container companies, ports, warehouses, and trucking companies to charge massive rate increases for doing literally NOTHING.\n\nIt is hard to see how the incentives could be that misaligned, but it’s certainly possible.

Just like any other NFT the song can be resold, and anyone can listen to the song even though only one person owns it. There is no way for the NFT owner to get value from the plays of the song, and Catalog is explicit that \"No rights are included\", so owning the NFT is simply a form of collecting or being a fan. \n\nThe interesting thing would be to take this a step further and enable sharing of royalty, and allow more than a single NFT holder.

But \"open system\" problems are still far from our reach. The challenge is now in figuring out what is a closed and open system. Any game with a clear rule set is closed. Chess, Go, etc. Is driving a car a closed system? My intuition would say no, because it happens in the real world with random things. But maybe not?

When I was a kid I collected every M\\*A\\*S\\*H playing figure and vehicle. With the advent of CD's I collected music and built a library of nearly 2,000 albums. I collected media of all type really. Laserdiscs were still some of my favorites. I recorded every episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation and built my own collection. I’m also a completionist but that is a different thing. So this essay on collecting and how algorithms and digital tech impact it resonated with me.\n\n> My lostness comes from the sense that our cultural collections are not wholly our own anymore. In the era of algorithmic feeds, it’s as if the bookshelves have started changing shape on their own in real time, shuffling some material to the front and downplaying the rest like a sleight-of-hand magician trying to make you pick a specific card — even as they let you believe it’s your own choice. And this lack of agency is undermining our connections to the culture that we love.\n\nAs I read this I kept thinking of identity, a topic I keep coming back to more often lately. Perhaps a sign of aging? In my experience growing up and becoming the person, or identity, that I am was heavily influenced by collecting. What music do you surround yourself with? What books? What magazine subscriptions? Your interest takes you there, and the collection helps stabilize as you grow up. \n\nNow with a rental economy versus an ownership economy, you lose the collection. **You cannot collect what you rent.** Maybe that is a good thing as it allows your identity to not be so influenced by those things? Or maybe that is a lost value, leaving us to float in a sea of algorithmic recommendations. Unmoored from a foundation. \n\nI know for me the boundary line here is books. I've ceded much of my music and media collecting, but I still collect it digitally and own much of it. But books feel too important. Too meaningful. I don't want an algorithm reorganizing my books. I feel value in a few bookshelves populated with the books that have grounded the development of me.

Having new ideas, synthesizing existing information into something fundamentally new or different, even if just in your own head, is a delightful thing. I agree with his assertion that intelligence and ideation are independent.\n\nPretty routinely I get asked about the breadth of topics I read about, and write about in this newsletter, and where I find the time and in part the motivation. I have a strong opinion that new ideas come from combining disparate topics and creating new concepts from the interplay. I've seem it happen many times. I think this is particularly important in technology. \n\nI liked this part at the end of Graham's essay.\n\n> One of the most surprising ingredients in having new ideas is writing ability. There's a class of new ideas that are best discovered by writing essays and books. And that \"by\" is deliberate: you don't think of the ideas first, and then merely write them down. There is a kind of thinking that one does by writing, and if you're clumsy at writing, or don't enjoy doing it, that will get in your way if you try to do this kind of thinking.\n\nWriting your thoughts is so important. It is easy to believe you have found some clarity in a stream-of-conscious dialog or some list of bullets, but the act of forming sentences and paragraphs with nouns and verbs is a refining process that filters, clarifies, and forces cohesion needed to for something new.","saved":"2021-10-26T03:34:39Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"d14837f3b9fcef17b17d1d53d263322f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0950a53f5928/","kind":"page"},

It is also pretty difficult to break with a dominant trend or viewpoint without someone judging you as dumb or foolish. \n\n> The benefit from asking a stupid sounding question is small in most particular instances, but the compounding benefit over time is quite large and I've observed that people who are willing to ask dumb questions and think \"stupid thoughts\" end up understanding things much more deeply over time. Conversely, when I look at people who have a very deep understanding of topics, many of them frequently ask naive sounding questions and continue to apply one of the techniques that got them a deep understanding in the first place.\n\nIt is cool to see the inventory of examples provided. I haven't done an exhaustive inventory of my own examples, but things that come to mind:\n\n- The deep exploration I've taken of the crypto ecosystem has resulted in a surprising number of people thinking that I've lost my mind and am being stupid.\n- My deep distrust and cynicism of Facebook starting 10 years ago was seen by many as \"tinfoil hat\" weirdo behavior.\n- The fact that I am both very public on the Internet, but simultaneously have a strong belief that privacy online is a critical issue. A surprising number of people (to me) think the expectation of privacy is a quant aspect of a bygone era, and I’m either a luddite or stupid to value it. \n\nTwo things that additionally come to mind.\n\n- A constant reminder that you are not responsible, nor do you necessarily know all that influences, other peoples opinions. \n- On the flip side, be cautious to not assume causality, and assume iff everyone else thinks you are wrong then you must be right. That may be true sometimes, but not always. But this essay is about judging (stupid) less than being correct.\n\nThe list of examples ends with one that I found very funny.\n\n> Posting things on the internet: self explanatory\n\n😂","saved":"2021-10-26T03:05:37Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"872bcc842f05e5fb67b3d1dfc1d54002","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b3f426849499/","kind":"page"},

For those who confided in a male friend, the approaches were often similar – they carefully vetted the problems they shared, typically sticking to problems that might not lead to judgment or rejection (‘targeted transparency’ I call it). Always, they received advice and solutions for problems from these male friends. Again, I’d ask, where did they turn for emotional support? Their response: to female friends, girlfriends, mothers, wives. Or they handled it themselves. Why didn’t they turn to male friends? The most common reasons were that they feared their friends wouldn’t feel comfortable discussing such things, or they didn’t want to ‘burden’ anyone with their problems. So, to keep everything ‘chill’, many males stick to bonding with buddies over beer and sports or other activities that can prevent us from developing deeper emotional trust and intimacy.\n\n🤔","saved":"2021-10-20T09:46:03Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"9b48fd59b7a8c697819bc42ba812a45d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/373a4d0731c0/","kind":"page"},

Ways are being sought for propping them up, which often involve concentration through mergers or acquisitions, as well as export drives and migration of activities to less-saturated markets abroad. Their relative success makes firms amass even more money without profitable investment outlets. The search for technological solutions lifts the implicit ban on truly new technologies outside the logic of the now exhausted paradigm. The stage is set for the decline of the whole mode of growth and for the next technological revolution.\n> \n> That seems awfully descriptive of the current era, no? Products that break through reach saturation in record time (see TikTok reaching a billion users in three years, or DTC companies that seem to max out in only a couple of years), while the future of established companies seems to be quagmire in legislators and the courts, even as profits continue to pile up without obvious places to invest. And if the government’s response to the revolution has been disappointing, that also may be because of the revolution itself.\n\nThere is so much in here that I could highlight, you should just read the whole article. 🤔","saved":"2021-10-15T01:26:18Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"56bf306a6b3cf08c1c3b223a63032ed6","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/50041418dcf8/","kind":"page"},

As explained in this 60 Minutes interview, Instagram’s notification algorithms will sometimes withhold “likes” on your photos to deliver them in larger bursts. So when you make your post, you may be disappointed to find less responses than you expected, only to receive them in a larger bunch later on. Your dopamine centers have been primed by those initial negative outcomes to respond robustly to the sudden influx of social appraisal.

It is still one of my favorite games to play. I don't need the fancy complications that have been added over the years. I can just sit and play Marathon mode for a long, long time. Eventually my eyes hurt because I don't want to blink and I feel like I am a [tetromino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetromino). So this article caught my eye.\n\n> Memory of a traumatic event becomes consolidated within hours. Intrusive memories can then flash back repeatedly into the mind’s eye and cause distress. We investigated whether reconsolidation—the process during which memories become malleable when recalled—can be blocked using a cognitive task and whether such an approach can reduce these unbidden intrusions. We predicted that reconsolidation of a reactivated visual memory of experimental trauma could be disrupted by engaging in a visuospatial task that would compete for visual working memory resources. We showed that intrusive memories were virtually abolished by playing the computer game Tetris following a memory-reactivation task 24 hr after initial exposure to experimental trauma. Furthermore, both memory reactivation and playing Tetris were required to reduce subsequent intrusions (Experiment 2), consistent with reconsolidation-update mechanisms. A simple, noninvasive cognitive-task procedure administered after emotional memory has already consolidated (i.e., > 24 hours after exposure to experimental trauma) may prevent the recurrence of intrusive memories of those emotional events.\n\nWait, what? This is a whole paper that is very long, but the punchline is fabulous. It makes sense too. Give the brain a heavy cognitive task that requires focus now, and it cannot expend the energy to store some recent prior event. \n\nIt does leave me wondering what happened when I would study some subject in college and then play TETRIS a bunch. 😬","saved":"2021-10-15T01:23:31Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"097c58d7373f637699f1b4ed166433d9","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/31534105cee0/","kind":"page"},

Clock speed is also up to 3.18GHz. The fact this stuff sits in your pocket still blows my mind. 🤯\n\nThere is a lot of wondering about the more \"pedestrian\" upgrades to this years A15.\n\n> The possible reason for Apple’s more moderate micro-architectural changes this year might be a storm of a few factors – Apple had notably lost their lead architect on the big performance cores, as well as parts of the design teams, to Nuvia back in 2019 (later acquired by Qualcomm earlier this year). The shift towards Armv9 might also imply some more work done on the design, and the pandemic situation might also have contributed to some non-ideal execution. We’ll have to examine next year’s A16 to really determine if Apple’s design cadence has slowed down, or whether this was merely just a slippage, or simply a lull before a much larger change in the next microarchitecture.\n\nStay tuned… ","saved":"2021-10-08T01:16:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"d052460756c1765c116ef10f0877f961","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/cfaab6c113a4/","kind":"page"},

His take on Facebook is very generous. He sees benefit in the ad ecosystem of Facebook, which I don't. He also would rather trust Facebook with a large trove of personal data than data brokers. I'll agree with him that I also don't trust data brokers, but the existence of those horrible entities doesn't make Facebook a good choice.\n\nThis part though completely made me scratch my head.\n\n> Here is the problem, though: it is not at all certain that the Internet is good for society. I believe it is — I just articulated a positive vision for the democratization enabled by Facebook advertising, to take but one small example — but there are obviously massive downsides as well. Moreover, many of those downsides seem to spring directly from the fact that people are connected: it’s not simply that it is trivial to find people who think the same as you, no matter how mistaken or depraved you might be, but it’s also trivial to find, observe, and fight with those who simply have a different set of values or circumstances. The end result feels like an acceleration of tribalism and polarization; it’s not only easy to see and like your friends, but even easier to see and hate your enemies with your friends.\n> \n> This is, as I noted, an Internet problem — as Facebook is happy to tell you — but the truth is that Facebook, thanks to its uber-competent focus and execution on growth, effectively made the Internet problem a Facebook problem. Sure, you can make the case that had Facebook not pursued growth at all costs there would be another social network in its place — and frankly, I believe that Twitter gets off far too easy in discussions about deleterious impacts on society — but the reality is that Facebook did win, and just because some of its spoils are rotten doesn’t absolve the company of responsibility. If you are going to onboard all of humanity, you are going to get all of humanity’s problems.\n\nI feel like in this passage he completely flipped the context of the Internet and Facebook. It is not certain that the Internet is good for society? I have a hard time seeing a way that the Internet as a whole hasn't benefited society. Some applications built on the Internet have proven to not be good for society. I would suggest Facebook is the primary example of that, but there are many others. \n\nThe last part is that he positions Facebook as being the victim of their own success. They are so great at execution, that they won everything. If they were so great, I would suggest they would have seen these strategic problems and done something, anything, to attempt to avoid them. Instead they have ignored them, or just pretended they didn’t exist. Now those issues are coming back.","saved":"2021-10-08T01:15:13Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"2d2285f3e05954df25a0f7daf889b509","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6d7072b9434f/","kind":"page"},

It is common for services to generate a token or hash from your email address and use that to target and profile you. So, even though you of course use different passwords everywhere, you can easily be tracked and matched if you use the same email address. However, using different email addresses takes time. I've been doing this with Fastmail's previous routing support, but this new masked mail service works for sending too and gives you metrics on how frequently the email address is used.\n\nNow, [connecting it to 1Password](https://blog.1password.com/fastmail-masked-email/) is a stroke of genius. When registering a new account using a masked email address you often are copy/pasting both an email address and generated password. Now it is super easy to do both right in the browser, and save the credentials for safe keeping in 1Password. \n\nI've been a happy customer (family accounts!) of both Fastmail and 1Password for years now. I highly recommend both of them.

Texas Hill Country has some immense climbs, so it is great for training. The roads are also very nicely paved so it’s great riding.\n\nOn one day as we were riding in a small group a pickup truck drove by our group going really fast and super close to us. Instead of pulling over and giving us a nice gap on our bikes, the driver intentionally had actually swerved over to the shoulder in an attempt to scare us (or something) by coming really close to us. I have no idea why people feel a need to do this stuff to cyclists, but it happens.\n\nOur group was shocked by how close the truck was but there wasn't much of anything for us to do. Yelling or finger gestures are not a terribly smart move for a cyclist in this situation. \n\nAs we rode along a few more miles we came upon a group of cyclists stopped. That same truck had continued to \"buzz\" cyclists but they got this one wrong and had hit one of the cyclists in another group. A helicopter was called and the rider was going to be airlifted to a hospital. The driver had left the scene and a group of riders was waiting for the police to come. \n\nI have no idea why some drivers feel a need to bug cyclists, but this news article from Houston hit a nerve with me given this previous incident.

The pandemic engagement isn't though, and integrating COVID into our future world may change some practices. I found Gottlieb's article a pragmatic perspective.\n\n> But while the other four coronaviruses typically cause little more than the common cold, SARS-CoV-2 is likely to remain a more serious threat even after this pandemic wanes, even after the virus becomes primarily a seasonal pathogen, even after drugs and vaccination limit the damage it does. The virus will become a persistent menace at least on par with the yearly flu—a threat that, though seemingly routine, strains health-care systems, businesses, and schools every winter. With SARS-CoV-2 mingling alongside influenza—and causing a comparable level of death and disease—the harm to public health and economic productivity will be too great for society to simply shrug off. The dual viral threat will compel better defenses. We won’t have a choice.\n\nFundamentally I read his perspective one of being aware and adaptive. I’m a bit embarrassed to admit but before COVID I don't think I ever got a seasonal flu shot. My brain hadn't fully embraced the logic behind it, but the pandemic experience has taught me a lesson. I will be getting it going forward. In short, we will need to be more adaptive and frankly aware of these viruses and manage them to the extent possible.

Company Documents Reveal a Secret Elite That’s Exempt. - WSJ","note":"It has been a while since I dove into another chapter of Horrible Things that Facebook does, but this article from the Wall Street Journal on XCheck is a worthwhile read. My position on Facebook and all of its services is very clearly negative. I block all Facebook services on my devices.\n\n> The documents that describe XCheck are part of an extensive array of internal Facebook communications reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. They show that Facebook knows, in acute detail, that its platforms are riddled with flaws that cause harm, often in ways only the company fully understands.\n> \n> Moreover, the documents show, Facebook often lacks the will or the ability to address them.\n\nThe article goes into detail on the XCheck system which gives \"important\" accounts the ability to post and bypass the companies automated and routine content moderation. This shouldn't be news, but if you thought that Facebook was a level platform where everyones voice was treated the same, it isn't. \n\n> Time and again, the documents show, in the U.S. and overseas, Facebook’s own researchers have identified the platform’s ill effects, in areas including teen mental health, political discourse and human trafficking. Time and again, despite congressional hearings, its own pledges and numerous media exposés, the company didn’t fix them.\n\nI would be hard pressed to highlight any positive outcome of Facebook's various actions over recent years.\n\nThe article states there is \"chronic underinvestment in moderation\" which I think is a convenient out for Facebook. It suggests that they can buy themselves out of these issues. You cannot make a system that is designed, intentionally or by accident, to drive extremes safer by adding moderation. It is like saying that with a big enough filter, smoking cigarettes will be safe for you. No, it is unsafe at the core. You cannot compensate for that. \n\n> Other employees said the practice was at odds with Facebook’s values.\n\nWhat even are Facebook's values? Your guess is as good as mine.\n\nFor another take check out [Why Facebook is filled with hate, anger, and conflict](https://withoutbullshit.com/blog/why-facebook-is-filled-with-hate-anger-and-conflict) by Josh Bernoff.","saved":"2021-09-17T02:49:52Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"59996552a65e4506ba1cd4f57d5232a3","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/361eea93bc3e/","kind":"page"},

Interesting as well since it is written by the Vice President of Data Governance at The New York Times, a media company that collects a tremendous amount of data from their customers and visitors. \n\nI found this paragraph interesting.\n\n> Perhaps the most important property of the Web is trust. You can browse around freely from site to site because you can trust that your browser will protect your security and that, even as those sites run code on your computer, they won’t endanger it. That is a strong promise, much stronger than what you can expect from native platforms, but when it comes to privacy it’s a promise that we have broken. As you browse freely from site to site, your privacy is not in trustworthy hands.\n\nI disagree with his assertion here on trust. Perhaps I’m being pessimistic, but I think the model that the web will follow is more like email. I used email before spam (wow, how old am I?). Email in 1991 was a lot like today in that I had an address, and it just worked to send anyone a note. It was fabulous. There was no pictures and web formatting, just plain text. [Elm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elm_%28email_client%29) was my email client of choice.\n\nThen spam arrived. Then scams arrived. With HTML email, we got beacons in our email. We have open rate tracking. We no longer trust mail servers, they could be bad actors. We don't trust any email that arrives in our inbox. We use sophisticated algorithms to judge every email and filter it in various ways. We have complicated digital signing practices to try and make it better. Real humans, that send real email to people, just hope that it actually shows up in an Inbox.\n\nThat is the model I think the web is trending toward. I think the days of using a web browser, with no protections, are numbered. These days you would _never_ use email without spam protection and hundreds of things your server is doing for you. That is the model I suspect the web is evolving to. \n\nBrowser extensions, proxy servers, content blockers. That is what I will trust.","saved":"2021-09-17T02:49:36Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"5ed5b1e6476fc0ae22b638eb17f13a01","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/aeae3ef4adf5/","kind":"page"},

And they don’t die like the rest of us. What’s unusual about them is not how much treatment they get compared to most Americans, but how little. For all the time they spend fending off the deaths of others, they tend to be fairly serene when faced with death themselves. They know exactly what is going to happen, they know the choices, and they generally have access to any sort of medical care they could want. But they go gently.\n\nIf this topic is even remotely interesting to you I strongly recommend reading \"[Being Mortal](http://atulgawande.com/book/being-mortal/)\" by Atul Gawande. Gawande dives deeply into this topic. It is an amazing read that encourages you to think very differently about quality of life at the end of ones life.","saved":"2021-09-10T01:32:13Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"0ba86902812641dca30cfe9146f8adc1","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7f7477f79a67/","kind":"page"},

I have listened to [Tim Ferris interview with Balaji](https://tim.blog/2021/03/24/balaji-srinivasan/) and thought it was very interesting. I found this interview with Sam Harris more interesting because Harris challenged him more and engaged in real debate on several of the topics.\n\n> They discuss the evidence of American decline, the rise of India and China, centralizing and decentralizing trends in politics, the relationship between politics and technology, the failures of the FDA and TSA, how regulation preserves monopolies, the significance of Bitcoin and blockchain technology, the problem of cybersecurity, the Chinese government’s attack on Bitcoin, the threat of US regulation of cryptocurrency, blockchain scalability, creator coins, life in Singapore, virtual government, the future of decentralized journalism, independent replication in science, wealth inequality, ubiquitous investing, social status, non-zero-sum capitalism, “start-up countries”, and other topics.\n\nThe variety of topics is incredibly wide, and I think Balaji's perspective is thought provoking. I don't think he is right in all these regards, and some of his predictions I truly hope he is wrong, but either way I found my it invigorating and challenging through the whole discussion.","saved":"2021-09-09T03:15:27Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e4547aedf9d4b1342069081b91e83dca","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d3a6b0b461d5/","kind":"page"},

[I registered `thingelstad.eth`](https://www.thingelstad.com/2021/04/10/registered-thingelstadeth-on.html) and a handful of other names on ENS. I also registered `thingelstad.xyz`, which is a DNS name but registered on ENS as well. This announcement extends the trust model that ENS built for `.xyz` and extends it to other DNS top-level domains. The DNSSEC requirements in the [step-by-step guide](https://medium.com/the-ethereum-name-service/step-by-step-guide-to-importing-a-dns-domain-name-to-ens-d2d15feb03e8) are a little challenging, but only because many DNS providers doin't support the specific requirements. The [comparison to ENS registration](https://medium.com/the-ethereum-name-service/how-eth-names-compare-to-dns-names-imported-to-ens-ab855a6dbdb2) is a very good read because there are still good reasons to use `.eth` as well. DNS is centrally controlled, and if some entity could make up a reason to remove my rights to `thingelstad.com` they could. However, that isn't possible with `thingelstad.eth`, which is owned in my wallet and is an asset (technically it is an NFT!). \n\nThis is a good step towards merging web3 concepts into the existing web. DNS and ENS collaborating, and then getting better wallet integration in browsers, creates a pretty amazing on-ramp for crypto powered capabilities.

They may or may not know what business they are in, but they are just another business that happens to be using a blockchain and smart contracts to host and program their business processes.\n\nCuban is hitting directly on something I've been thinking about a lot. Folks that are cynical about crypto projects tend to suggest they represent no value. But would these folks think the same thing about shares in a private startup? Maybe, if they are being logical, they should. Owning and holding tokens of a DeFi project is similar to investing in an early stage company.\n\n> In the crypto/DeFi world, organizations don’t require near as much capital to start and operate. Rather than raising money in a traditional sense, they can sell tokens to raise capital , they can reward Liquidity Providers instead of having to raise liquidity for financial transactions, they can reward stakers who support Validators, they can operate on a blockchain where most of the CapEx/Infrastructure and much of the critical security is provided by Miners or Validators. They can build communities that replace layers and layers of bureaucracy. And what I’m about to say is what makes the crypto world so dramatically different and why it’s a model for future technology businesses and possibly all businesses.\n\nThis is a different way to capitalize and operate a company. Is it fundamentally better? Maybe. Is it better for some businesses? Yes. Will it make other models go away?

When you navigate to a website through Safari, iCloud Private Relay takes your IP address, which it needs to connect you to the website you want to go to, and the URL of that site. But it encrypts the URL so not even Apple can see what website you are visiting. Your IP and encrypted destination URL then travels to an intermediary relay station run by a third-party trusted partner. Apple would not name these trusted partners, but says the company is working with some of the largest content providers out there. Before getting to this relay station, however, your IP address is anonymized and randomized, so the relay partner can’t identify you or your device. Then at the relay station, the destination URL is unencrypted, so the third-party provider can send you on to the website you want to go to.\n\nThis almost has a flavor of [Tor](https://www.torproject.org) to it.

There was a long line of tanks approaching from the Square and I thought it might be a nice compression shot. Then suddenly a man in a white long sleeved shirt with two shopping bags, walked into the middle of the Chang'an Boulevard directly in front of the tanks. I complained to Kirk and said “This guy is going to screw up my composition”. Kirk yelled “They are going to kill him!” My head was still in a daze so compared to what I had witnessed over the previous day, a guy standing in front of a row of tanks seemed normal. The unfolding drama was very far away. I waited for the instant the man would be shot or run over. But nothing happened. He unbelievably crawled up on the tank and I looked back at the bed where my teleconver was. I had to make a quick decision as to whether to risk getting a closer, clearer image or possibly miss a photo completely. I made one of the biggest gambles in my life and dived for the bed. I grabbed the teleconverter, attached it to the 400mm lens which now made it an 800mm focal length, eyeballed the light and opened the aperture ring for an estimated exposure of 1/250 of a second at F11. It was a rather slow shutter speed for such a powerful telephoto lens but, I felt I could manage it. Since the next hotel room wall jutted out, I was partially blocked so I had to risk exposing myself to gunfire by leaning over the balcony and shooting around the wall. The man jumped off the tank and made one last stand. I snapped an image, then a second, then a third. In shock, I noticed the automatic shutter speed needle was pointing at between 1/30 and 1/60 of a second and not 1/250. Before I could figure out what happened, the lone man was carried off by bystanders and was never seen again.\n\nI love the story.

This is a deep dive on how cloud spend shows up on the P&L versus traditional technology infrastructure which is an asset that sits on the balance sheet. The cloud has huge benefits in many areas, and leveraging them is absolutely key to building solutions quickly. However, you build on a permanent level of leverage that is very hard to unwind.\n\n> However, as industry experience with the cloud matures — and we see a more complete picture of cloud lifecycle on a company’s economics — it’s becoming evident that while cloud clearly delivers on its promise early on in a company’s journey, the pressure it puts on margins can start to outweigh the benefits, as a company scales and growth slows. Because this shift happens later in a company’s life, it is difficult to reverse as it’s a result of years of development focused on new features, and not infrastructure optimization. Hence a rewrite or the significant restructuring needed to dramatically improve efficiency can take years, and is often considered a non-starter.\n\nBefore you read this and jump to quick conclusions, the framing is important. This analysis is looking at places where cloud is a **huge** part of the cost of goods sold. **34%**!\n\n> Dropbox gross margins increased from 33% to 67%  from 2015 to 2017, which they noted was “primarily due to our Infrastructure Optimization and an… increase in our revenue during the period.”\n\nAgain, scale matters. But interesting that $100M of OpEx can be $50M of costs in two years. That is a big swing, but they are also big numbers.\n\n> estimates that repatriating $100M of annual public cloud spend can translate to roughly less than half that amount in all-in annual total cost of ownership (TCO) — from server racks, real estate, and cooling to network and engineering costs.\n\nThe article is an interesting read just to get a sense of how much the cost of revenue is cloud spend at some companies.\n\n> A billion dollar private software company told us that their public cloud spend amounted to 81% of COR, and that “cloud spend ranging from 75 to 80% of cost of revenue was common among software companies”.\n\nThat is an eye popping number. \n\nThere is so much good data here, and informative for how very large tech organizations with predictable loads should be looking at cloud spend. There is a top end, but it is pretty high up there.","saved":"2021-06-10T11:37:39Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"2dbdd9097ab2361bdb3c4520559e840c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/de48ff2aa159/","kind":"page"},

If you believe that web3 is going to continue to grow, then you likely believe that over time, Ethereum will become the settlement layer of a new internet.

But that one move—a server putting a cookie inside every visiting browser—crossed a privacy threshold: a personal boundary that should have been clear from the start but was not.\n> \n> Once that boundary was crossed, and the number and variety of cookies increased, a snowball started rolling, and whatever chance we had to protect our privacy behind that boundary, was lost.\n> \n> Today that snowball is so large that nearly all personal agency on the Web happens within the separate silos of every website, and compromised by whatever countless cookies and other tracking methods are used to keep track of, and to follow, the individual.\n\nHe is correct that the cookie enabled many of these negatives. He's also ignoring that the cookie enabled amazing web applications and incredible experiences on the web. All in, I think the cookie is still a good thing and I’m glad we have a web that is built with it.

Like Fujitsu’s employees, millions of workers around the world this year have made a sudden shift from being place-constrained (working in the office) to being place-unconstrained (working anywhere). Perhaps less noticed is the shift many have also made along the time axis, from being time-constrained (working synchronously with others) to being time-unconstrained (working asynchronously whenever they choose).\n\nThe dimensions that Gratton uses to decompose and analyze this are really well thought out.

The more success depends on capturing the creative energy of the team, hiring becomes even more important. This article is a great read on doing this well. \n\n> It can be useful, when interviewing someone, to take Rumelt’s cue and ask explicitly: what’s going on here with this person in front of me?  The more I’ve done it, the more I realize that what most people think of as the hard parts of hiring—asking just the right question that catches the candidate off guard, defining the role correctly, assessing the person’s skills—are less important than a more basic task: how do you see someone, including yourself, clearly?\n> \n> Seeing people clearly—or at least more clearly—matters not just when finding the “best” hire, but in identifying the best role for them. Even looking at those of us who are lucky enough to have a high degree of choice about what we do with our work, I’ll bet that as few as 20% of us are in the seat that best optimizes our talents and skills at any given time—the seat that makes us feel at home in the world.

He is also great at shedding some perspective on our craft. I love his writing. So much good stuff here. \n\n> I wonder if I have twenty years of experience making websites, or if it is really five years of experience, repeated four times. If you’ve been working in the technology industry a while, please tell me this sounds familiar to you.\n\nYes, yes it does. \n\n> It was 1997, I was learning HTML, and there was one problem with the design that was confusing me: how do I put two things next to each other?\n> \n> Twenty years later, we’re still working out the answer to that very basic question.\n\nThat made me _laugh out loud_ for real. And it is sad how true it is. \n\n> My web design philosophy is no razzle-dazzle. My job is to help my clients identify and express the one or two uniquely true things about their project or company, then enhance it through a memorable design with a light touch. If complexity comes along, we focus in on it, look for patterns, and change the blueprint for what we’re building. We don’t necessarily go looking for better tools or fancier processes. In the past, I’ve called this following the grain of the web, which is to use design choices that swing with what HTML, CSS, and screens make easy, flexible, and resilient.\n\nYou could call Chimero's approach similar to the 'use boring technology' approach. I love his point on illegibility and the value of creating legible solutions. \n\n> **Illegibility comes from complexity without clarity.** I believe that the legibility of the source is one of the most important properties of the web.\n\nComplexity attracts engineers like moths to a flame. Legibility is not valued enough. Truly understanding the problem we are solving is too often glossed over.\n","saved":"2021-04-23T00:33:19Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"81ffab55640d64329c94e1d4f576182e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/661b7d8751eb/","kind":"page"},

This is by choice—Grit is an experiment, and the idea is to solve problems by utilizing the multitree as much as possible.\n> \n> How do we organize tasks without tags, then? As we add more and more nodes at the root level, things start to get messy. Running grit ls may result in a long list of assorted nodes.

I find the use of NFT's as a form of collectable much more interesting. This article is an interesting read on determining value for a collectible.\n\n> In all my years of helping to sell collectibles, I came to the conclusion that collectibles derive value from a set of three qualities: brand, scarcity, and market. I believe it is those same qualities of brand, scarcity, and market that determine the value of physical collectibles that will also govern the value of NFTs. The following is an exploration of what I think makes any collectible valuable and a framework for how to value collectibles, including NFTs. \n\nHis conclusion is positive on the value of NFT's. \n\n> I think NFTs are here to stay, and I think that they have application well beyond speculative art. NFTs could offer a powerful mechanism for creators to monetize music, videos, and writing as a new type of DRM. They may even build in a future cash flow mechanism that allows owners to profit and would allow investors to value them more like securities. Royalties are already a robust industry for music. NFTs could democratize that across many other industries.\n\nFundamentally they are a tool or system that allows for proof of provenance. That capability can be used in many ways.

The controls are great, and the visuals are simple and don't get in the way of the game play. \n\nHowever, I’m not the kind of Tetris-savant that is described in this article.\n\n> Hong was stunned to learn that his strategy of scoring Tetrises by dropping long bars into a left-side gap was suboptimal. Due to piece-flipping mechanics, a right-side gap was superior.\n\nThere is Chess like strategy in Tetris, but you have to do it in an instant. \n\n> When Joseph won the tournament again, in 2019, he inspired more young players. In 2020 alone, a hundred and thirty-one players maxed out; between 1990 and 2019, eighty-seven players had maxed out. Kids had killed the Tetris curve.\n\nPersonally when I play Tetris after a while my eyes start to burn because I don't blink, and your mind leaves normal space and you just see the tiles flipping and falling.

He kept track for a year to see how much time it takes to be on a board. He averaged it out to **225 hours** a year per board.\n2. It is interesting to hear the dialogue between Sven and [Jim Zuehlke](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-zuehlke/), [Rick Brimacomb](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickbrimacomb/) sharing some of the board committee structures they have experienced.\n2. Approach board work with **Nose-in, Fingers-out (NIFO)** strategy. Get your nose into things, but keep your fingers out. **Socratic Method**: Ask questions to drive to better understanding. Don't give orders. **Effectiveness**: Are you helping move the company forward?\n3. Sven has a mantra, **No Surprises.** Audit committees cannot have surprises. He knows this is effective when he sees it affecting the things that he is brought in on, and when. \n4. General leadership comment \"All good leaders have a message that will **resonant**, are **clear**, and **repeat**.\"\n\nThey also shared that there will be a part two of this conversation!","saved":"2021-03-22T20:06:49Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"31ea04f33d8696ec95b04f141b11b021","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/699ff3668989/","kind":"video"},

They will make those decisions based on their revenue interests. When you move lower in the stack, and you are selling CPU cycles and network access, you should be less opinionated. Which probably also aligns with your revenue interests. Similar to what Thompson says here I find AWS's position the most challenging here.","saved":"2021-03-19T02:43:16Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"23ec39486dfc6aa175827860ad3fc022","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5dab365969f4/","kind":"page"},

I hadn't thought about it at all but it makes sense. This article highlights how the game is changing as a result of these massive goalies. \n\n> Maybe there is no foreseeable way to make the goalie smaller. Maybe you have to make the net bigger. Don’t fight using an old, losing narrative. Change the narrative. New golf-club technology made courses too short, so championship courses got longer. A lighter soccer ball allows players to do tricks with its flight, in some ways making soccer’s already huge net even bigger. A player can shoot the ball several feet outside the net’s 24-foot width and curl it around the goalie (“bend it like Beckham”). Or he can shoot it several feet above the net’s 8-foot-high bar and drop it down (“loop it like Lionel” Messi). A hockey puck is too dense and moves too fast for that. But the size of a hockey net could change, and the change needn’t be too much. Maybe only six inches or a foot wider, maybe only six inches higher. And only for those in junior and college leagues and above. Just so a goalie’s carefully constructed, seamless wall can’t cover everything. So a goalie has to move, has to play off his goal line, has to go up and down. So he has to open up. So the slivers of open space are a little bigger. So he doesn’t think he can stop everything, and a shooter can think he might score. So an unscreened shot from farther than 20 feet might go in. So more “off the rush” goals might be scored. So players would want, and need, to spread out. So the action doesn’t always funnel and congest. And the rest of the ice surface matters. So all the skills the other players have developed, and will develop, matter. So the game is defined by every player on the ice, not just the goalie. So the dog isn’t wagged by the tail.\n\nIt is interesting to see how various sports evolve to keep them competitive and exciting. Seems like making the nets slightly bigger could be a pretty compelling thing. 🥅","saved":"2021-03-19T02:40:33Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"5e757c9b87071389883d1cd29f383d55","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/efc8553b1cc6/","kind":"page"},

It's not that you want them to bypass the abstraction, just that it's hard to prioritize every teams' specific needs, and letting them bypass allows you to address their problem on your schedule rather than their schedule.\n\nInteresting.

Speed is a differentiator.\n> \n> Yet teams consistently overlook speed. Instead, they add more features (which ironically make things slower). Products bloat over time and performance goes downhill.\n> \n> New features might help your users accomplish something extra in your product. Latency stops your users from doing the job they already hire your product for.\n\nWhen I was CTO at media companies we would look at our analytics and people would say \"we have 4.2 average page views per session\". But that was never really true. In reality, people gave us a certain amount of **time** and based on our performance that turned into page views. The slower and more bloated our pages, the less page views we would enable.\n\nThe other thing is that this is often not about the tech, but is specifically about bloating the service. When I was at MarketWatch our CEO used to ask me frequently why one of our pages was slower than Yahoo! Finances page that did the same thing. I told him Yahoo!'s page had 1/10th of the images, styling, Javascript, ads, etc. Finally we actually built a clone of Yahoo!'s page on our platform.

But, when I pick up my Canon EOS R, and put a 200mm lens on it, I’m reminded of the amazing photographs that you can take with pro gear. Of course it also weighs over 3 pounds and decidedly will not fit in my pocket. The trouble is that the industry needed those cheap digital camera sales to make the high-end of the market work. Sounds an awful light like news doesn't it? The classified ads for the garage sale are what funded high quality journalism. As markets evolve, we learn that certain components of markets have never been able to stand on their own P&L. \n\nThe net is professional cameras will cost more, and likely have less innovation.

And yet, this is a hopeful new season, a time of thoughtfulness and reform.”\n\nI know that many people are cynical and see Apple in the same light as Google and Facebook. I disagree. I suggest that Apple has identified a huge market in health and fitness capabilities built around the Apple Watch. In order to pursue that market, they have identified that privacy is paramount. So, I don't see them doing this because they are good guys, but instead because they see it as key to their growth. At least for Facebook, growth comes from taking more and more of your privacy. Don't trust companies to do something that is against their self interests. \n\nThe audio of this is not great.

That is something I believe both personally and organizationally. I firmly believe that **all great technology organizations are learning organizations**! I suspect that the technology qualifier in there could easily be removed as well. \r\n\r\n> I have a complex set of thoughts on this. It is really my core value. I believe that the job we all have in life is to acquire knowledge and wisdom and then share it. I just don’t know what else there is. This is the bedrock of my belief system.\r\n> \r\n> When I get close to any field, I think about how far I want to go. I'm probably further along with programming. I don’t know if I want to get from 90 to 91% in programming when, with the same amount of work, I could figure out the first 60 to 70% of UX or even something like drawing. There’s a recent book about this called Range, which I really like. The book pushes in this direction and explores this topic a bit more than I do. But I just found myself nodding throughout reading it, because it turns out that very often—really, every field has fundamental wisdom that you discover when you're learning and talking to the people who have mastered it. I find that going wide and learning the best lessons from the people who have dedicated their entire lives to a certain pursuit gets you really, really close to mastery.\r\n\r\nAnother reference to [Range](https://davidepstein.com/the-range/) by David Epstein, time to just read that. I love the idea that you can learn the first 80% of a topic in 20% of the time. That feels about right to me.\r\n\r\nThis learning belief is one of the reasons I read widely, publish a blog and newsletter, and love trying things.\r\n\r\nI dig that Lütke also enjoys playing a variety of games, both traditional and large online games. \r\n\r\n> But the major reason why video games are valuable is because of this concept of transfer learning. For instance, people who are good at chess understand when it's time to perform tactics, and when it's time to focus on positional development. Not just in chess, but also in life.\r\n\r\nHe referenced [Factorio](https://www.factorio.com/), which I hadn't heard of but looks cool. I'm a little older that Lütke so perhaps that is why he didn't call out [SimCity](https://www.ea.com/games/simcity), but to me that is right in line with the type of game and learning that you can get from it that he calls out. I used to love playing with the various constraints of SimCity. Sadly, EA decided to layer more junk on it over the years and the original spirit of the game is lost in my opinion. \r\n\r\nI dig his idea of a **trust battery**. It is a good metaphor for something that I suspect we all do. Referring to it as a battery makes it resonate really well.\r\n\r\n> What people want to do in a company is get to the 80% or 100% level in the area that they run. You gain full autonomy this way. It’s a process that cannot be given to people by title or something like that.\r\n\r\nAnd his focus on coaching (which is really just accelerated learning right, go back to the first principle) is great. This push that just to stay where you are in a growth company requires continual learning and investment is so true!\r\n\r\n> That's something I explain to people quite frequently. It's not optional to grow, especially when it comes to executives. The learning curve of being a great executive is a lot less like learning the guitar, and a lot more like skydiving. It’s the kind of thing you should not do without an instructor. A coach is probably one of the highest returns on investment anyone can do with their attention. An hour spent with a coach has a 10x, 50x, 100x potential return on time spent. I was really lucky and met a great coach who actually joined Shopify full time just to do coaching and lead our talent acceleration team.\r\n\r\nIf you aren't constantly learning, you are falling behind, and the faster the organization you are in is growing the faster you will fall behind.\r\n\r\nHe calls out some great books including [Antifragile](https://bookshop.org/books/antifragile-things-that-gain-from-disorder-9780812979688/9781400067824) by Nassim Nicholas Taleb and [The Design of Everyday Things](https://bookshop.org/books/the-design-of-everyday-things-revised-expanded/9780465050659) by Don Norman. Both are reads that my book club has picked and are very good. \r\n\r\nHe also referenced [Roblox](https://www.roblox.com/) which got me to install that and give it a look. 🕳🐇","saved":"2020-12-20T19:24:45Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"32575b8115df9fd42b15171cbd78fd15","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/48f757c4ed48/","kind":"page"},

This is a key part of keeping the web open.","saved":"2020-12-08T02:46:51Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"c212def116e57d3c3df87406a689b273","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7c01c71a611c/","kind":"page"},

It does this by generating a collection of temporary key pairs for each user, in addition to the permanent keys. When someone sends a message to a contact over an app using the Signal protocol, the app combines the temporary and permanent pairs of public and private keys for both users to create a shared secret key that's used to encrypt and decrypt that message. Since generating this secret key requires access to the users' private keys, it exists only on their two devices. And the Signal protocol's system of temporary keys—which it constantly replenishes for each user—allows it to generate a new shared key after every message.\n\nThat is incredibly secure! 🔒","saved":"2020-12-02T12:10:08Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"5141019e25225eb05c91c2c12e3e8de1","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0bf62ed9eb5e/","kind":"page"},

Apple’s battery life braggadocio is warranted. The battery just lasts and lasts and lasts. I’ve been using this MacBook Pro almost exclusively on battery power all week, doing both all my normal work and running benchmarks and performance-stressing tasks, and I can’t come close to depleting it in a full day of work.\n\nThe power efficiency in these chips is a game changer. We may finally be getting to the point where we can get laptops that will always go the whole day, even under intense usage, on a single charge.\n\nThe there notable thing here is stuff that the M1 does in the chip and is the marriage of the software and hardware working together so tightly. \n\n> Broadly speaking, this is a significant reason why M1 Macs are more efficient with less RAM than Intel Macs. It’s the combination of software and hardware designed together. \n\nI can’t wait to get my hands on one fo these.

It is interesting how much of this is about computing power per watt.\n\n> These are, by all accounts and measures, far faster machines than the Intel-based Macs they’re replacing. But the big win, and clear focus from Apple, isn’t speed but battery life. Apple’s quoted battery life times for the Intel-based MacBook Air from March of this year for “wireless web browsing” and “Apple TV app movie playback” were 11 and 12 hours, respectively. The new M1 MacBook Air pushes those times to 15 and 18 hours. The difference is even more striking with Apple’s specs for the new M1 MacBook Pro, which claim battery life of 17 and 20 hours for web browsing and movie playback. The current Intel-based 13-inch MacBook Pro gets just 10 hours on each of those tests. That’s very close to double the battery life. Double!\n\nDoing more with less power is how Apple did so much in the A-series chips in the iPhone and iPad. Now that is coming to the M-series in the Macs. I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these to see how they feel in real use.","saved":"2020-11-13T02:30:20Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"444a8f7878d16022cca091095a40678a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/da84182acb59/","kind":"page"},

It adds a whole new class type to Peloton. Before we had Live classes, which you had to take at a specific time. On-Demand which you can take anytime, but have less useful leaderboard and social features with other riders. And then Encore classes which were scheduled replays with a new leaderboard. Now Sessions allow you to have a new leaderboard and ride with a smaller group that is all at the same place in the ride as you. It feels more like taking a spin class at a studio, with 30-50 other riders versus thousands. \n\nMy wishlist is for Private Sessions.

I agree with nearly all of it. It is a great perspective on the path of engineering management. He hits many topics that I have seen dozens of new engineering managers struggle with. \n\nI agree with his position in managers coding. I tend to see it as an anti-pattern. When managers are coding it has often meant that there are harder problems, often that they feel unsure how to solve, that they are putting off. \n\n> My advice: find time to scratch the coding itch outside of work.\n\nTotally agree. Many in engineering managers have loved coding. It can still be a great hobby. Or find ways to use those coding skills to automate tasks in your position. But never take sprint points. \n\nThis next point is stated so well. \n\n> The power dynamics of management are serious and livelihoods are at stake. Don’t trivialize them with jokes.\n\nI really dislike jokes like this. It is an absolute \"no go\" zone in my book. \n\nAnd yes, while you are not coding spent points you absolutely must be up-to-speed on the technical aspects. \n\n> But you must have real smells and opinions on how technical projects are delivered, agnostic of their implementation details. And you must be technical enough to know when a project feels like it won’t deliver and intervene appropriately to force it back on track.\n\nThe way I often say this is that I think of engineering leaders as great food critics, but not actually chefs. \n\nAnd this is a great way to think about why this is worth all the effort. \n\n> Management is a privileged position to provide that environment for others. And when it’s working - the team is healthy and collaborative, ICs are growing via stretch projects, and you play a role in the development of autonomy/mastery/purpose of a teammate - there is no better feeling in the world.\n\nSeeing teams succeed and win, and being part of making that happen, is one of the greatest things.

Facebook’s position is that collecting data using \"automated means\" ([including scraping](https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/04/scraping-just-automated-access-and-everyone-does-it%22)) is a violation of its Terms of Service, even when the NYU Ad Observatory is acting on behalf of Facebook's own users, and even in furtherance of the urgent mission of fighting political disinformation during an election that U.S. politicians call the most consequential and contested in living memory.\n\nI think this is different than the typical sleazy profit-over-everything behavior that Facebook typically exhibits. I suspect that they are genuinely concerned that the ads being sent through their systems will be able to show that their platform was used to suppress votes and to materially, and negatively, affect our democratic processes. The last thing they want is a bunch of evidence, that could end up in court, showing that. \n\nRemember as you think about this that ads running on Facebook are often made by algorithms. So, there will be millions of different messages. This is why efforts like the [Ad Observatory](https://adobservatory.org) are so important. Facebook doesn't know the ads running on its own systems.

I've been in a number of situations where the desire has been to make something simpler, but it’s not always clear exactly how to achieve that. Bringing in a conceptual model is a great way to approach this.\n\n> When we want something to be simpler, what we truly need is a better conceptual model of it. Once we know how to use them, complex tools end up making our lives simpler because they provide the precise functionality we want.\n\nSome things are complex by nature. Not everything is simple. Professional tools are a good example of that. \n\n> Removing functionality doesn’t make something simpler, because it removes options. Simple tools have a limited ability to simplify processes. Trying to do something complex with a simple tool is more complex than doing the same thing with a more complex tool.\n\nThought provoking.

Sometimes the worry doesn't resolve and you can obsess on it. I've never actually sit down and written it down but I like the approach here. \n\n> Worrying is psychologically draining, but when you do it on paper — in a worry journal, you stop yourself from spending a lot of time in your head stressing about everything that could go wrong.\n\nAnytime you write something down you allow yourself to \"self coach\" and objectively look at the information. I know this works, I've used it myself for many things. You could also say that GTD and it’s focus on getting things out of your head is a form of this type of activity too.\n\n> Writing down your worries forces you to slow down — which can make think a bit clearer and often opens up a bit of space for reflection, meditation and positive thinking.\n\nI've never thought of a worry journal, but it’s an interesting idea.

He designed much of AWS Step Functions after all. This is a good overview and highlights some of the key differences.\n\n> While I haven’t been to the mat with GCP to do real work, at the moment I think the AWS approach is a winner here. First of all, I’ve hated global variables — for good reason — since before most people reading this were born. Second, YAML is a lousy programming language to do arithmetic and so on in.\n> \n> Third, and most important, what happens when you want to do seriously concurrent processing, which I think is a really common workflow scenario? GCP doesn’t really have parallelism built-in yet, but I bet that’ll change assuming the product gets any traction. The combination of un-typed un-scoped global variables with parallel processing is a fast-track to concurrency hell.\n\nOverall, it’s just good that Google has added workflows to GCP as it is a critical core service for any cloud provider.

I think this is in part because YouTube doesn't feel like a social network. It has different mechanics. However, it shares one key mission that all social networks have. The number one objective is to get you to engage as long as possible, through whatever means work. It is good to see that they are working to adapt their algorithms to fight this, but I suspect that will just result in a \"cat & mouse\" game forever.\n\nWhen you look deeper at YouTube you see an incredibly effective algorithmic radicalization engine. Yes, it’s also surrounded by videos on how to fix your plumbing. YouTube is one of the most challenging platforms because it is both a utility and a social network.\n\nThe best way to engage in YouTube in my view is to never, never, really never, click on any recommended videos. Drop in, get what you want, and get out of dodge. Even better, if you use a feed reader like [Feedbin](https://feedbin.com), you can subscribe to channels there and avoid all recommended content and just get what you specifically want. That is how I get SpaceX videos, and a handful of other channels I like to keep up with.","saved":"2020-09-20T19:33:14Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"8d5a656928e7a4e062411d0a279f670c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/801173c34379/","kind":"page"},

It can result in friends, less often family, questioning your new identity and what you are doing.\n\nI often think about this in relation to stuff and \"things\". Sometimes if you feel really torn about getting rid of something you have that you don't use, ask yourself if it’s use is informing your identity? I have had a telescope for years and years. It is a hobby that got the best of me. It was too difficult and I've never gotten comfortable with it. When deciding if I should get rid of it I always struggled. Yet I never used it. I realized when I looked closer, that it was really a desire of mine that astronomy be part of my identity. To be clear, it isn't as I’m not even capable, but in this case it was just a desire to have something associated with my identity. \n\nI suspect identity is a big deal, and changing it an even bigger deal.

I also like the idea of a Feedback Budget.\n\n> One Simple Trick I had stumbled into was that there was a way to get around feedback budgets. Turns out there’s this other, vaster budget to tap into: the budget of process automation. When feedback is automated, it arrives sooner, feels confidential, and lacks judgement. This makes it palatable; this is why the budget is vaster.\n> \n> The technical analogy here is how we use linters. “Nit: don’t forget to explicitly handle the return value” during code review feels mildly frustrating. Ugh. It’s “just a style thing” and “the code works”. I’ll make the change, but with slight resentment.\n> \n> Yet, if that same “unhandled return value” nudge arrives in the form of a linter, it’s a different story. I got the feedback before submitting the code for review; no human had to see my minor incompetence.\n\nGood idea.","saved":"2020-06-25T10:52:27Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"62aafbf98c74a7d57d20e82c80f023f9","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c8ac2e9864a2/","kind":"page"},

I've seen it and have felt it. When I was CTO for BigCharts and MarketWatch bought us, I created a Values Oasis between the team I was leading before, and the new MarketWatch organization. It almost got the better of me. I was trying to manage all the chaos on one side and effectively sheltering the other side from it. But all that energy had to get absorbed, and I was trying to do it. After a couple of months I realized this wasn't going to work. I had to stop attempting to alter and instead flow with it. If that resulted in challenges down stream from me, I would have to deal with that.\n\nThe challenges with these Oasis, to use Larson's term, is that sometimes they are incredible hard to see.

I refer to them as my spirit animal. I grew up in North Dakota where it wasn't that uncommon to see bison, mostly on farms. They have always struck me as majestic and powerful animals.\n\n> Bison seem immune to the harsh weather that often visits the Great Plains, whether it’s the relentless, extreme heat of August, severe thunderstorms that pound torrential rain into the prairie, or winter blizzards that blow sub-zero winds and heavy snows. Regardless of the conditions, bison don’t seek cover in woody draws or behind buttes. They simply continue grazing, or lie down and chew their cud out in the open, often on exposed hills. The thick, curly hair covering the front half of their body insulates them from both heat and cold. It enables them to face into the weather rather than turning away from it or seeking protection. This is why bison are often described as “facing the storm.\"\n\nThis passage conjures one of my favorite scenes of bison. You could see them on the most intense blizzard in a North Dakota January. They would be in the open facing into the snow. Often there mane would be layered thick from blowing snow. And they honestly didn’t seem to care at all. It was as if it didn’t affect them at all. Stoic perhaps.","saved":"2020-06-19T02:49:37Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"8a6dc4e286cec07e8f46a39caa663223","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f75e920e4ee9/","kind":"page"},

A few classmates and I decided to rent an Airbnb a few minutes from the Kauffman venue. I flew in from Singapore that day and arrived late at our Airbnb. My classmates were out that evening, so I parked my suitcases outside and proceeded to enter the house. Within 5–6 minutes, a police car pulled up with the lights shining in my face. Knowing the reality of police brutality in the US, I immediately felt fear and anxiety. The police officers asked what I was doing here. It seems they received a disturbing call from one of the neighbors who saw a black man walking in the neighborhood. After I explained the situation and showed proof I rented the Airbnb and texted the hostess, they left.\n\nReading stories like this reminds me of reading many of the things coming out of the #MeToo movement.

And make it relevant to you — contribute in whatever way you can. Each statement will be different, because each company’s role is different.\n\nI agree with his urge to say something.

I think this is one that is often overlooked too. Something that perhaps you only get after messing up more than a handful of times.\n\n> If this is something you’ve struggled with, I’m sympathetic, I’ve struggled with it too. When you have a strong enough worldview to lead, you’ll start to collect others around you who rely on you maintaining that world’s physics, and tolerating any deviation from your vision can feel like you’re letting them down. But this is the epitome of something that’ll get you to one level of success but block the next: continued growth requires learning to incorporate your worldview into the worldviews of those around you, accelerating overall progress around you even if it means tolerating a detour from your vision.\n\nAn easy way to think about this is how much time do you put in maintaining your peer connections and adopting their objectives. In a leadership team, you must at times be following the other leaders around you. There is some ability to segment this on functional boundaries, but be careful about that as it can be far too limiting to your ability to have impact. \n\nThis is one that I’ve struggled with for a long time and still work on doing better.

It's harder than that. What executives need to do is come up with organizational values that indirectly result in the strategy they want.\n> \n> That is, if your company makes widgets and one of your values is customer satisfaction, you will probably end up with better widgets of the right sort for your existing customers. If one of your values is to be environmentally friendly, your widget factories will probably pollute less but cost more. If one of your values is to make the tools that run faster and smoother, your employees will probably make less bloatware and you'll probably hire different employees than if your values are to scale fast and capture the most customers in the shortest time.\n> \n> Why will employees embrace whatever weird organizational values you set? Because in every decision meeting, you enforce your values. And you fire the people who don't line up. Recursively, that means executives lower down the tree will do the same, because that itself is one of the values you enforce.\n\nI must admit I’ve still not read this book, but I must. It feels like it is as canonical to many organizational theories as anything that Peter Drucker has written. I also appreciated the logical analysis at the bottom of this about why this doesn’t exactly apply in smaller companies.","saved":"2020-05-29T02:46:07Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"cfecb6adfd2c6ad8367e833b1ad8e3d5","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1d3611103c4f/","kind":"page"},

It took us a while to figure out that this was a huge problem. We were only optimizing for dollars. We found that epic impact can be measured in at least 1 of 3 ways:\n> 1. Profit. Some epics will literally turn up on the P&L as increased profit. This is why Ben Horowitz says a good Product Manager owns his/her P&L.\n> 2. Customer happiness. This is self explanatory.\n> 3. Employee happiness. As your startup grows you will find that your employee tooling will degrade and cause incredible frustration with engineers, ops, customer service, all of the above.

Keyboard crusaders that would otherwise pounce on anyone daring to suggest that some language is better than any other will concede that Lisp is on another level. Lisp transcends the utilitarian criteria used to judge other languages, because the median programmer has never used Lisp to build anything practical and probably never will, yet the reverence for Lisp runs so deep that Lisp is often ascribed mystical properties.\n\nWhen I took this class it was taught by Dr. John Carlis, who sadly [passed away in 2018](https://www.startribune.com/obituaries/detail/0000246699/). I got to know John as an undergraduate partly through my friendship with [John Riedl](https://www.thingelstad.com/2013/07/21/goodbye-to-my.html).\n\nDr. Carlis taught the Lisp class and on the first day of the class he asked the students to raise their hand if they knew one programming language. Of course we all did, it was a CSci class! He kept counting. Two, three, four. As he got up to five there were few hands still up. He went to six and I and a couple of other students still had our hands up. Personally I was pretty proud to be showing off my depth in languages.\n\nDr. Carlis then looked at us that still had our hands up and emphatically stated that for those of you with your hands still up you will have the hardest time in this class. Lisp requires you to think in an entirely different way. He was right by the way.","saved":"2020-05-15T02:33:46Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"aab86c4925573d1b5c8f149376b5f06b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/180dd4b5a507/","kind":"page"},

It is the exact same answer I would give too.\n\n> The only explanation I can offer is that this is inentional, because if they start eradicating the bots, their overall user numbers are going to nosedive.

I hate to say this, but they are equally complicit in the “fake news” crisis that is eroding the trust in society at large.\n\nSocial media platforms are rewarded for engagement and time-spent.

Since its launch in 2014, Keybase’s team of exceptional engineers has built a secure messaging and file-sharing service leveraging their deep encryption and security expertise. **We are excited to integrate Keybase’s team into the Zoom family to help us build end-to-end encryption that can reach current Zoom scalability.**\n\nI wonder how much of this is all about the people. Keybase had some brilliant crypto talent making some innovative stuff. It always seemed like a utility to me though. Bringing the crypto culture of Keybase to Zoom is a smart move. Good use of cash by Zoom.","saved":"2020-05-08T22:01:16Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"d7224785f316fe618b966ddd360a83b1","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/705c6546c3cc/","kind":"page"},

I gave up and told him I would look more later, and went to meditate and launched Headspace on my phone and it did the exact same thing.

Obviously it’s not physically demanding, but it’s physically draining nonetheless.\n\n> The problem with video-conferencing is that the body is but isn’t there. This means that our minds are at least partly frustrated as they deploy their non-conscious repertoire of perceptive skills. The situation is more like a face-to-face encounter than most any other medium, but, for that very reason, it frustrates us because it is, nonetheless, significantly different. I suppose we might think of it as something like a conversational uncanny valley. The full range of what the mind assumes should be available to it when it perceives a body, simply isn’t there.\n\nThis article is an interesting way of looking at that.\n\n> What all of this amounts to, then, is a physically, cognitively, and emotionally taxing experience for many users as our minds undertake the work of making sense of things under such circumstances. We might think of it as a case of ordinarily unconscious processes operating at max capacity to help us make sense of what we’re experiencing.\n\nThis resonates strongly with me.\n\nThere is one other thing that I wonder about. When you are around other people you are also getting energy from that engagement. I wonder though if when this is over video, if the amount of energy you get is reduced, thus putting you in a further deficit. More energy spent, and less energy gained.","saved":"2020-04-24T03:21:15Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"91fc7a30df59faf281e8b77b374f643a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6d743ef4372d/","kind":"newsletter"},

But I keep thinking that this isn't just remote leading, this is also leading through a global pandemic, and an economic crisis, with society locked down and an incredible amount of change and stress in everyones lives.\n\n> The last lesson comes back to the first: you are not leading a remote team. You are leading a team that is scared, stressed, angry, frustrated, worried, and worse. You are leading parents who desperately need a break from their kids and can’t get it, people who rightly fear for their own lives, people in the throes of trauma and grief. Your first job is to make sure they have everything they need to be healthy and safe; only if that’s achieved can you turn to anything else. And when you do, you better be as clear as possible about what they should focus on, and why, because no one has tolerance for even the slightest bullshit right now. You are going to have to listen fiercely, speak openly, make decisions even when no good options present themselves, and admit that you just don’t know what’s coming. You are going to have to stay calm and present even as the fire rages.\n\nThis is all so very true. I was on the phone with a colleague the other day and they were sharing a story with me and commented that their spouse had had to figure this out because they were unemployed. I felt terrible that I didn’t say anything at the time, and just stop the conversation. So I sent a note afterward. I can’t fix their situation, but I can recognize and acknowledge it, and be human with them. I think we all need to listen to the notes behind the things that are happening directly in front of us during these challenging times.","saved":"2020-04-17T02:00:46Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"fae34f449e6ab481b304a213a3156d8d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b8200b7d5c6d/","kind":"page"},

But there were significant differences between the two methods when medium- and dark-roast coffee beans were used. Specifically, the hot-brew method extracts more antioxidants from the grind; the darker the bean, the greater the difference. Both hot- and cold-brew batches become less acidic the darker the roast.

Just as going to the airport is forever different from how it was before 9/11, things will change and this is the point at which they changed. The loss of normalcy; the fear of economic toll; the loss of connection. This is hitting us and we’re grieving. Collectively. We are not used to this kind of collective grief in the air.\n\nI shared with Tammy last week when I was [getting cheeseburgers from one of our favorite places](https://micro.thingelstad.com/2020/03/22/getting-takeout-from.html) that I felt incredibly sad being there. It is usually a busy place, and nobody was there. One other person showed up to get takeout as well. But the streets were really empty.

Not wasted small talk, but detailed, guided, focused interaction based on the prompt you just gave them.\n> \n> 8 minutes later, the organizer can press a button and summon everyone back together.\n> \n> Get feedback via chat (again, something that’s impossible in a real-life meeting).

The reference to this as a component of dealing with growth is spot on. \n\n> A key engineering skill is noticing what’s blocked, and figuring out why, following a thread of hints from person to person until you can see what's not moving. You might end up asking the same question again and again. You might get handwavy responses that seem like answers but don't actually give you extra information. That’s how these games go.\n\nRead the above and think about that for writing code.

I would highlight that as an industry we do know how to make software that does work with very high quality, however it is expensive. Understanding that expense and comparing it to the cost of failure is a practice that doesn't happen often, if ever.\n\n> This essay helped me develop a personal takeaway: I need to formalize the cost of a redo when planning a project. I’ve handled this intuitively in the past, but it should be explicit. This formalization makes it easier to determine which tasks cannot be compromised on. This matches my past behavior; I used to work in mobile robotics, which had long implementation cycles and the damage of failure can be high. We spent a lot of time adding observability and making foolproof ways to throttle and terminate out-of-control systems. I’ve also worked on consumer websites for a decade, where the consequences of failure are lower. I’ve been more willing to take on short-term debt and push forward in the face of temporary failure, especially when rollback is cheap and data loss isn’t likely. After all, I’m incentivized to do this. Our industry also has techniques for teasing out these questions. “Premortems” are one example. I should do more of those.\n\nI wonder if there are any formal models for determining this. 🤔","saved":"2020-02-19T03:09:35Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b4c12317de5fb3916438b17fb345dd2e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/320988fd4e60/","kind":"page"},

The first product, that drives the creation of the platform, influences the platforms lifecycle in extreme ways.\n\n> Mature products emphasize stability, security, predictable feature development, and establishing efficient economies of scale. Early products require rapid iteration, broad exploration, user validation, and interpret most other aspects of platform quality as friction. Balancing platform priorities across these distinctive product cohorts isn't a decision made once, but rather an ongoing series of decisions in an iterative elimination tournament.

I've also talked about this by saying we have to remember we are not a \"brain on a stick\".\n\n> Our approach has its roots in the two decades that Jim Loehr and his colleagues at LGE spent working with world-class athletes. Several years ago, the two of us began to develop a more comprehensive version of these techniques for executives facing unprecedented demands in the workplace. In effect, we realized, these executives are \"corporate athletes.\" If they were to perform at high levels over the long haul, we posited, they would have to train in the same systematic, multilevel way that world-class athletes do. We have now tested our model on thousands of executives. Their dramatically improved work performance and their enhanced health and happiness confirm our initial hypothesis.\n\nAdmittedly this is not something I've done well. I think I've made some great progress in the other aspects, but the foundational physical work has not had enough (any?) investment for years.

I’m an Astros fan. In November 2019, when the videos of the banging during some Astros 2017 games came out, I was horrified. It was clear within a minute of watching it was true — my team had cheated. To understand the scope of the cheating and the players involved, I decided to look at each home game from that season and determine any audio indicators of the sign stealing.\n> \n> I wrote an application that downloaded the pitch data from MLB’s Statcast. This data has a timestamp for every pitch. I then downloaded the videos from YouTube and, using the timestamp, created a spectrogram for every pitch.

I could then playback the video of the pitches and, helped by the visual of the spectrogram, determine if there was any banging before the pitch.\n\nOf course! 🤓 Via [great highlight from Daring Fireball](https://daringfireball.net/linked/2020/01/30/houston-sign-stealing-scandal).","saved":"2020-01-30T23:05:05Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"1dd5dca106e3e4f1f210c6ab0c9122e3","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c09dc9fcccd7/","kind":"page"},

They are sucked in — unlikely to step away anytime soon. However, when I see people use an iPad they use it for one thing — the thing they grabbed it to do — and then they go back to life.\n\nI think there is some truth to that.

The instructions are laid out and if you go step by step, you’ll get that comically small table you wanted. Creating is a different process, it’s birthing something without direction or instruction. It’s starting with a blank canvas and painting a masterpiece. Software engineers don’t get into coding because they want someone to tell them what to do, they get into it because they discovered they could create something useful. Every single software engineer fell in love with coding because she made a small, useful program early on and was hooked.\n\nIf you have ever wondered what makes software engineers tick, this will fill you in. 👍","saved":"2019-11-28T01:50:19Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"26386dc90f34b4b0732faed800f95dbc","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8cd1a1989f77/","kind":"page"},

The design of the service mesh means that not only does it add latency to your application, it also consumes resources and also introduces a whole bunch of machinery. One minute you’re installing a service mesh, the next you’re suddenly on the hook for operating hundreds or thousands of proxies. Why would anyone want to do this?\n> \n> There are two parts to the answer. The first is that the operational cost of deploying these proxies can be greatly reduced, thanks to some other changes that are happening in the ecosystem. Lots more on that later.\n> \n> The more important answer is because this design is actually a great way to introduce additional logic into the system. That’s not only because there are a ton of features you can add right there, but also because you can add them without changing the ecosystem. In fact, the entire service mesh model is predicated on this very insight: **that, in a multi-service system, regardless of what individual services actually do, the traffic between them is an ideal insertion point for functionality.**\n\nService mesh is on a maximum in the [hype cycle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hype_cycle).","saved":"2019-11-18T07:39:32Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b55d21ff6b0fa7225718602c558762ef","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/314d68752eef/","kind":"page"},

The EEG readings helped show why. During non-REM sleep, neurons start to synchronize, turning on and off at the same time. “First you would see this electrical wave where all the neurons would go quiet,” says Lewis. Because the neurons had all momentarily stopped firing, they didn’t need as much oxygen. That meant less blood would flow to the brain.

Halo continually monitors all aircraft system parameters and real-time external inputs as if the pilot were at the controls.  It takes into account runway size and orientation, wind, time, fuel range, glide path and considers weather conditions and terrain en route to the nearest suitable runway. Once Halo has landed the aircraft, the braking system will activate and will bring the aircraft to a full and complete stop. Finally, the engine will shut down and instructions will be provided on how to exit the aircraft.\n\nThat is amazing.

For that use case, the four freedoms, the definition of source code and installation tooling introduced in GPLv3 made a lot of sense. Nothing else seemed to matter to him. The decision for the Linux kernel not to adopt GPLv3 wasn’t considered a problem and it was often downplayed by FSF leadership.\n\nI [shared my story of meeting Stallman](https://links.thingelstad.com/2019/09/richard-stallman-and-the-fall-of-the-clueless-nerd-wired) before and he really didn’t see the Internet as a thing that mattered.

I love being parachuted into a situation, figuring out which problems even need to be solved, and then figuring out a solution that will address them.\n\nThis is a topic I have conversations about frequently.

Designing a complex system of microservices before you have domain expertise is a risky move that too many software projects fall into. According to Martin Fowler, “almost all the cases where I’ve heard of a system that was built as a microservice system from scratch, it has ended in serious trouble… you shouldn’t start a new project with microservices, even if you’re sure your application will be big enough to make it worthwhile”.\n> \n> Good software architecture is a constantly evolving task and the correct solution for your app absolutely depends on what scale you’re operating at. Monoliths, modular monoliths, and Service Oriented Architecture fall along an evolutionary scale as your application increases in complexity. Each architecture will be appropriate for a different sized team/app and will be separated by periods of pain and suffering. When you do start experiencing many of the pain points highlighted in this article, that’s when you know you’ve outgrown the current solution and it’s time to move onto the next.\n\nThis whole article is filled with a lot of pragmatism.","saved":"2019-10-16T01:20:28Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"f539abae632d4c81eff30b1eeab8d7ae","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1fdf36db3bd4/","kind":"page"},

Even though it’s a lot, I think it’s a good read for those that, like me, want to write better. I particularly like the beginning:\n\n> Writing is essentially a robust tool that enables us to clarify and communicate our thoughts. While writing, you are forcing yourself to think critically and exercise parts of your brain that are typically on auto-pilot.  As Einstein once said, “If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.” In attempting to formulate a written piece, you are going through the exercise of transforming vague ideas into clarified concepts externally, but also internally.\n\nTo me this is the barrier. I'll get a headline or topic in mind, but I need to create the space to clarify my thoughts. It’s not the writing that is difficult, it’s the thinking.\n\nRelated, this is why I despise bullets for communicating things of substance. Bullets, unlike actual writing, **do not require you to clarify your thoughts.** You simply state random blips, and assume that will be understood, which it often is not.","saved":"2019-10-09T03:46:12Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"71e050beb8c0f355a6e920dcc5ae4d8b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0dcf6174997f/","kind":"page"},

This initial footprint serves as the beachhead for the company, helping it developing strong customer loyalty and word-of-mouth acquisition through great experiences, as well as a much lower cost to serve them. In some ways, it serves as the base camp for the assault on the incumbents’ bread and butter, financed by the profitable low end customer base. As the company inexorably acquires larger customers and creeps upmarket, the lower cost of customer acquisition — powered by word-of-mouth — coupled with higher customer loyalty and retention and lower cost of serving the customer, makes it an extremely formidable competitor for incumbents to compete with. This is the definition of disruption.\n\nThis is a solid playbook for many markets.","saved":"2019-10-03T12:14:22Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"ed6f449df2631b3f5d8a05d615608b4d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8831fa66515b/","kind":"page"},

[VICE has a writeup on this all](https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/mbm74x/computer-scientist-richard-stallman-resigns-from-mit-over-epstein-comments), but this piece from [Steven Levy](https://www.stevenlevy.com), who wrote one of my favorite books, [Hackers](https://www.stevenlevy.com/index.php/books/hackers), that introduces Stallman at the end, frames the whole thing up.\n\n> Yesterday RMS resigned from MIT and the Free Software Foundation he founded. For those who have followed his free-software movement, Stallman leaving MIT is like the big dome on Massachusetts Avenue itself getting an eviction notice. But after decades of tone-deaf comportment and complaints now emerging from women about his behavior, Stallman’s time was up.\n\nHis time was up. I actually met Stallman once and had lunch with him. My friend and former professor [John Riedl](https://www.thingelstad.com/2013/goodbye-to-my-friend-john-riedl) was asked to have lunch with Stallman when he was speaking at the University of Minnesota in the early 2000's. He asked me to join them. The lunch was not great. Stallman isn't terribly pleasant, and dissected language and questions in a way that was very off-putting. I asked him a lot about the Internet, and after a couple of questions he looked at me and said \"You know, computers can do things without being on the Internet.\". Okay then.\n\nBack to the point of this article though. This all happened fast, all the better. But hopefully that doesn't let our industry sweep under the rug some self-examination that should be happening here.\n\n> There are tragic threads to this Stallman story. His inability to understand the hurt that comes from insensitivity led to his expulsion from the world he knew and loved. I worry what will happen next for him. But the greater tragedy is how long it took for such behavior to become disqualifying. While Stallman is uniquely Stallman, he was also a representative of a culture that failed to welcome the women who could have led hacking, and computing, to even greater heights. Stallman is now more alone than I found him 35 years ago. But do not call him the last of his kind. More will fall as the reckoning continues.\n\nThat is a powerful statement, and one that is worth reflecting on. Think of other thought leaders in technology space that are routinely offensive and insulting.

I really enjoy fine watches, but I find it very beneficial to have the capabilities of the Apple Watch. Luckily the Apple Watch is a pretty fine watch. However, as long as I've had it I've always been bothered that you cannot subtly check the time with a glance. It takes a somewhat exaggerated movement to wake up the watches display. \n\n> As I started wearing the watch around, I found the always-on screen a bit disorienting a first. After years of expecting there to be a shiny black void, I suddenly had something staring back at me even when I wasn't paying it deliberate attention. In a funny way, after the initial weirdness wore off, it actually made the Series 5 feel more natural and comfortable. As someone who's most often wearing an analog watch of some kind or another, I'm very used to more subtle time-checking gestures and to always having my watch's hands and dial visible. Even beyond the functionality, this makes the Series 5 feel more like a watch than any previous Apple Watch.\n\nI’m super happy to hear this.

Waltz seems to solve that.\n\n> Waltz is similar to existing log systems like Kafka in that it accepts/persists/propagates transaction data produced/consumed by many services. However, unlike other systems, Waltz provides a machinery that facilitates a serializable consistency in distributed applications. It detects conflicting transactions before they are committed to the log. Waltz is regarded as the single source of truth rather than the database, and it enables a highly reliable log-centric system architecture.\n\nDefinitely a highly focused service, but for certain solutions this would be a big deal.","saved":"2019-09-13T01:24:46Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2cc7c5e1d7f0a8115ec5823ef26a704b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a17f8dbcb8ed/","kind":"page"},

Consider the 50 years of Unix in two ways. it’s truly amazing that every smartphone you see is powered by a Unix-based system that started 50 years ago, that the technology has lasted that long. On the other hand, consider that it’s taken **five decades** for the combined intelligence of software developers to create a Unix kernel that is as stable as what we have today.\n\n> The rest has quite literally made tech history. By the late 1970s, a copy of the operating system found its way out to the University of California at Berkeley, and in the early 1980s, programmers there adapted it to run on PCs. Their version of Unix, the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), was picked up by developers at NeXT, the company Steve Jobs founded after leaving Apple in 1985. When Apple purchased NeXT in 1996, BSD became the starting point for OS X and iOS.\n\nWriting an operating system is not for the faint of heart.

This specifically dives into a large team at Microsoft where people expressed dissatisfaction with work-life balance.  The exploration of instinctive reasons for this proved wrong. Through survey data they found some good reminders (emphasis added).\n\n> One of their findings was that people who worked extremely long work weeks were not necessarily more effective than those who put in a more normal 40 to 50 hours. In particular, when managers put in lots of evening and weekend hours, their employees started matching the behavior and became less engaged in their jobs, according to surveys. **Another finding was that one of the strongest predictors of success for middle managers was that they held frequent one-on-one meetings with the people who reported directly to them.** Third: People who made lots of contacts across departments tended to have longer, better careers within the company. There was even an element of contagion, in that managers with broad networks passed their habits on to their employees.\n\nThe more interesting data came when they looked at data that quantified the teams experiences (emphasis added).\n\n> The two kept iterating until something emerged in the data. People in Mr. Ostrum’s division were spending an awful lot of time in meetings: **an average of 27 hours a week.** That wasn’t so much more than the typical team at Microsoft. **But what really distinguished those teams with low satisfaction scores from the rest was that their meetings tended to include a lot of people — 10 or 20 bodies arrayed around a conference table coordinating plans, as opposed to two or three people brainstorming ideas.**\n> \n> The issue wasn’t that people had to fly to China or make late-night calls. People who had taken jobs requiring that sort of commitment seemed to accept these things as part of the deal. The issue was that their managers were clogging their schedules with overcrowded meetings, reducing available hours for tasks that rewarded more focused concentration — thinking deeply about trying to solve a problem.\n\nI have my own bespoke system for tracking calendar analytics. I track a handful of dimensions on the data in addition to just frequency and scheduled v. unscheduled time. I track wether I scheduled the meeting or if someone else did, to get a sense of how much of my time I am directing. I also track special flags for meetings with just one other person, a one-on-one meeting, as well as a flag for large meetings with a lot of attendees. Most recently I've also started attaching an emoji to each event to gauge a qualitative rating of the meeting. I'm now using that data to both correlate my own level of excitement about various parts of my work as well as insure that I'm putting my most precious resource, time, towards my most important objectives.","saved":"2019-06-19T09:47:24Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"3ef7c7f8a5eea8912ad1b3b987e85add","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6c96232353b6/","kind":"page"},

I've wished that the Internet had a form of \"zoning\" in this regard. In everyday life we make a number of assumptions about our privacy informed by our surroundings. When in a restaurant or store, I don't assume I have any privacy. When in a park, I do assume I have privacy.\n\n> Our discourse around privacy needs to expand to address foundational questions about the role of automation: To what extent is living in a surveillance-saturated world compatible with pluralism and democracy? What are the consequences of raising a generation of children whose every action feeds into a corporate database? What does it mean to be manipulated from an early age by machine learning algorithms that adaptively learn to shape our behavior?\n\nIt would be nice if you could understand your privacy situation based on your surroundings in the digital world.","saved":"2019-06-15T03:41:34Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"68fe415308b5cc0af720ac2366724c91","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ceb053809f34/","kind":"page"},

It's telling how companies that tend to have a pro-privacy bend like Craigslist and Duck Duck Go are readable in a couple minutes with high-school level education. Facebook requires 18 minutes and a college level education. CNN and Hulu require you to be a legal professional to understand them. Airbnb is in a world of its own.\n\n> Airbnb’s privacy policy, on the other hand, is particularly inscrutable. It’s full of long, jargon-laden sentences that obscure Airbnb’s data practices and provides cover to use data in expansive ways. For example, here is how Airbnb justifies collecting users’ personal information. Vague language like “adequate performance” and “legitimate interest” allows for a wide range of interpretation, providing flexibility for Airbnb to defend its data practices in a lawsuit while making it harder for users to understand what is being done with their data.\n\nThis is where services such as [Terms of Service; Didn't Read](https://tosdr.org) should be able to help crowdsource these intentionally obfuscated documents and turn them into something that normal people can understand. However, these services, like many in the pro-privacy space, aren't exactly taking off like wildfire.","saved":"2019-06-13T22:46:53Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"684e622458dce2dcbe4cb10013c26bed","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b960d0c5a70a/","kind":"page"},

It’s **all** about the software.\n\n> Turning to mainstream, legacy car companies, we have to ask what they know about software — and do they even care? The Engine Control Unit, the computer that controls ignition and fuel injection, comes from a vendor like Robert Bosch (my autokorrekt wants to write “ogre botch”); the gearbox controller from ZF (as in toothed gears, Zahnrad Fabrik) or Japan’s Aisin; and the entertainment/navigation module from Panasonic and others. And they all use bundled software. To conventional automakers, software is a sourced component, often from the lowest bidder, a hard-to-control annoyance.\n> \n> It’s a situation that’s reminiscent of the early days of cell phones. Motorola and Nokia had software because they had to, they even boasted about being good at it, only to be displaced by competitors who loved software, namely Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS.\n\nI've told many friends that driving my Tesla Model 3 feels a lot using an early iPhone. The dashboard's emptiness harkens back to the ridicule of the first iPhone, that \"it doesn't even have a keyboard!\" Yeah, there is no speedometer in the middle of the steering wheel. The car can become completely different with a software update.

Because the things you learned are already, six months later, not exactly what we need. Because the industry is still overlorded by people like me, who were lucky enough to have learned the etiquette early, to even know there was an etiquette.\n\nThat is a great way to capture the lack of inclusion in technology culture. it’s completely spot on as well.\n\n> A new computer is the blankest of canvases.

And the lift they produce is well ahead of the wing’s center of lift, meaning the nacelles will cause the 737 Max at a high angle of attack to go to a higher angle of attack. This is aerodynamic malpractice of the worst kind.\r\n\r\nIt is very interesting to hear from someone who knows this space what the 737 Max was trying to achieve in it’s design.\r\n\r\n> In a pinch, a human pilot could just look out the windshield to confirm visually and directly that, no, the aircraft is not pitched up dangerously. That’s the ultimate check and should go directly to the pilot’s ultimate sovereignty. Unfortunately, the current implementation of MCAS denies that sovereignty. It denies the pilots the ability to respond to what’s before their own eyes.\r\n\r\nSo Boeing essentially had unworkable hardware and said \"Hey, we'll fix it in the software!\". But then the software doesn't let the pilot work the way all other planes let them work.\r\n\r\n> So Boeing produced a dynamically unstable airframe, the 737 Max. That is big strike No. 1. Boeing then tried to mask the 737’s dynamic instability with a software system. Big strike No. 2. Finally, the software relied on systems known for their propensity to fail (angle-of-attack indicators) and did not appear to include even rudimentary provisions to cross-check the outputs of the angle-of-attack sensor against other sensors, or even the other angle-of-attack sensor. Big strike No. 3.\r\n\r\nAnyone writing software that can mean life and death should make sure to learn from this situation.","saved":"2019-04-23T00:47:48Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"b39ab204c4a0494b2e3befb2fbe9ec4a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/fc59dbc2eade/","kind":"page"},

The next day, she received an email from a male passenger saying, “I found you!” Clearly, he had been able to use her first name and the name of her company to track her down online.\n\nThis is a good example where more gender diversity in technology would help.","saved":"2019-04-19T02:47:50Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"1aa5c0d4fa7080f05608e89d99ba8a48","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/dca7b5a9aa88/","kind":"page"},

[Michael Pollan](https://michaelpollan.com/) describes this well in \"In Defense of Food\". This article does a good job of breaking down the false illusion that precise calorie metrics give us.\n\n> The calorie system, says Camacho, lets food producers off the hook: “They can say, ‘We’re not responsible for the unhealthy products we sell, we just have to list the calories and leave it to you to manage your own weight’.” Camacho and other calorie dissidents argue that sugar and highly processed carbohydrates play havoc with people’s hormonal systems. Higher insulin levels mean more energy is converted into fat tissues leaving less available to fuel the rest of the body. That in turn drives hunger and overeating. In other words the constant hunger and fatigue suffered by Camacho and other dieters may be symptoms of being overweight, rather than the cause of the problem. Yet much of the food industry defends the status quo too. To change how we assess the energy and health values of food would undermine the business model of many companies.\n\nMaybe not rely on those labels so much.

That stopped when Chinese officials determined that too much trash was mixed in with recyclable materials like cardboard and certain plastics.

The fundamental idea of \"social capital\" and \"network utility\" and how they play together is a very interesting. \n\n> What ties many of these explanations together is social capital theory, and how we analyze social networks should include a study of a social network's accumulation of social capital assets and the nature and structure of its status games. In other words, how do such companies capitalize, either consciously or not, on the fact that people are status-seeking monkeys, always trying to seek more of it in the most efficient way possible?\n\nThis calls out the Facebook News Feed as a sea change in how social capital is accumulated.\n\n> It's difficult to overstate what a momentous sea change it was for hundreds of millions, and eventually billions, of humans who had grown up competing for status in small tribes, to suddenly be dropped into a talent show competing against EVERY PERSON THEY HAD EVER MET.\n\nAs I read this I kept thinking of LinkedIn. LinkedIn is largely a utility network. However, in recent years they have gotten into the news feed game and added a lot of \"like\" functionality. They have added a bunch of features that are clearly ways to build \"social capital\". And, notably, their user metrics shot up as soon as they did that stuff.","saved":"2019-03-08T01:41:07Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"6ef132663ecf907270dc9dbedd6d95e7","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6e9a3b7c1276/","kind":"page"},

If you remember [BeOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeOS) and the [BeBox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeBox) this is a fun read. I also found this little inside baseball look at [NeXTSTEP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTSTEP) and Apple's acquisition of NeXT fun.\n\n> Later, I learned another version of the story from a NeXT and Apple insider. By 1996, Jobs had given up on NeXTSTEP and had focused the company on WebObjects, a set of tools and building blocks aimed at the design and implementation of high-performance, feature-rich websites. But the noise from the Apple-Be conversations attracted the attention of Avie Tevanian, VP of software at NeXT, who urged Jobs to dust off NeXTSTEP and whip up a demo. The master persuader convinced Gil Amelio to pay the price Apple didn’t want to pay for Be: $429M for NeXT.\n\nIt’s unlikely Apple acquiring BeOS would have been transformational, but maybe. The leadership behind NeXTSTEP was very transformational for Apple.","saved":"2019-02-22T04:36:44Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"c45da324b96210dc56e6d446654830d6","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a3ec7d60938b/","kind":"page"},

I find this problem to be very difficult to solve though. Particularly in the workplace people have gotten used to sending emails and expecting immediate awareness. Any time you send an email \"Are you coming to this meeting?\" you reinforce that in your culture. To some extent, the adoption of messaging in business has been a welcome reprieve from this but not enough.\n\nPersonally I use Sanebox to keep emails in different bins, so I can check them on a more appropriate schedule based on the sender and content of the email. It’s a game changer!

It’s shocking how quickly it developed winning strategies only using basic rules and playing games against itself and other algorithms.\n\n> However, it was the style in which AlphaZero plays these games that players may find most fascinating. In Chess, for example, AlphaZero independently discovered and played common human motifs during its self-play training such as openings, king safety and pawn structure. But, being self-taught and therefore unconstrained by conventional wisdom about the game, it also developed its own intuitions and strategies adding a new and expansive set of exciting and novel ideas that augment centuries of thinking about chess strategy.\n\nI like how this article positions that human players will be able to develop new tactics and strategies by working with AlphaZero. That hybrid human plus algorithm approach will be common in a number of areas in the future, and already is in many. Before readers assume this means AlphaZero can do anything, remember that games are closed-systems with extremely specific rulesets. The world we all occupy is nothing like that.","saved":"2018-12-08T18:56:18Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"18cdd38f95e8b1540321904e43e4a31f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7eefbce3df5d/","kind":"page"},

First, we need to better defend the common political knowledge that democracies need to function. That is, we need to bolster public confidence in the institutions and systems that maintain a democracy. Second, we need to make it harder for outside political groups to cooperate with inside political groups and organize disinformation attacks, through measures like transparency in political funding and spending. And finally, we need to treat attacks on common political knowledge by insiders as being just as threatening as the same attacks by foreigners.\n\nIt’s thought provoking to consider the attack surfaces of political systems in this way.","saved":"2018-11-28T23:15:58Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"5060368aa4c2655a15dffdca2aab0c78","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/28f4a50dbf9c/","kind":"page"},

I think this is a really tough call, even today. My perspective on the matter is influenced by some key thoughts.\n\n1. In general, for digital companies, if it’s your business then you build it, if it’s not your business you should buy it. To be clear, \"buy it\" may not always mean buying it, you may use an open source product. I just mean _don't_ build it. Media companies make content. **Content is their business.** By that thought, you should build this. It’s expensive, but the options that you have to present content to customers is a key market differentiator and if you don't build it you will not be able to differentiate as well as another company.\n\n2. The article references \"unique content edge cases\". My background in content publishing is all financial services, and that content definitely had \"unique content edge cases\". Financial stories reference companies and stocks, and those references have meaning that most generic content systems cannot deal with. If you carve out \"unique content edge cases\" is there anything left? Shouldn't all media companies have a unique content edge?\n\n3. The market of companies that buy these solutions is not great. You have media companies, which are struggling with digital transformation. The lack of investment in that sector will limit the providers selling into that market. I would wonder if you will get a vibrant community of providers for such a small market that has a wide variety of growth rates.\n\nThis is a tough call for the digital team at any media company. I think you have to go to the core value that your company delivers, and be really honest about it, and then make the call. Deal with the limitations or benefits that that provides after.","saved":"2018-11-28T23:15:49Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"13aa788ee0c2914806765035a36300a9","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/df5d79bb268b/","kind":"page"},

That’s never made sense to me. A pivot is recognizing that the original path doesn’t work, and pivoting to a new path. \n\n> So my view is if you’ve failed, accept it, announce it, and deal with it. Shut the business down, give back the cash, and rip up the cap table. Then do whatever you want to do next. If it is another startup, do it from scratch and keep as much of it as you can. If it is something else, well then do that too.\n\nI’m surprised Wilson doesn’t highlight to me the main reason people pivot instead of doing what he suggests — to avoid failure. If you pivot, sure there are some downsides, but you didn’t fail, you pivoted. Neat! Do it a couple more times and still, no failure. If you actually do what is suggested here you have to acknowledge the thing you are avoiding at all costs.

To capture this existing intent, Zapier decided to make the app partners in their integration ecosystem the stars of their marketing and piggyback on their success.\n\nI’ve found these landing pages many times from various searches.

This sentence is worth reading multiple times as no one – not the person who hired you, the VC’s or your peers -is going to tell you when you’re hired that the company will likely outgrow you.\n\nIf you want to read a whole book on this topic pick up The Leadership Pipeline where it highlights that you need to be very thoughtful when you move into a new role, specifically on what you are going to **stop doing**, so you can be successful. By the way, sometimes the stuff you may need to stop doing is stuff you really like.\n\nI’ve personally done an annual inventory every year for the last twenty years or so where I try to objectively ask myself what I need to start or do more of than I’m doing now, and what I need to do less of or completely stop doing. Companies, successful ones at least, grow much faster than the talent in them often can. By willfully giving up things and reassessing your own skills to the organizations needs, you stand a much better chance of continuing to stay relevant in the organization. 🚀","saved":"2018-11-14T20:24:59Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"de1f7e3f0659ba816de3c1b18f348f3a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/061655b63834/","kind":"page"},

That is crap and needs to be dispelled whenever it is brought up. If anything, I would highlight that there are a lot of developers are just aren't all that great at being on-call. The skill argument should go the other way. Great operations engineers know how their software behaves, and they know how to push it and make it do what they want. Often the developers that wrote it have no clue. Also, the general stress and pressure of incidents is something that you need to have the stomach for.","saved":"2018-11-07T02:11:11Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"b69bf93c13129680ff2e35e1baa9baa4","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d37585ee1914/","kind":"page"},

Its tracking codes appear on three quarters of the top million sites on the web. 86% of Alphabet’s revenue (Google’s parent company) comes from advertising. That means all of Alphabet has a vested interest in helping track people and serve them ads, even when that puts the company at odds with its users.\n\nRemember, Google was the last browser to support Do Not Track years ago. Nothing has changed regarding Googles incentives. If you value privacy, I don’t see how you can use Chrome. \n\nThe article gives Chrome credit for pushing HTTPS adoption on the web.

When I read the headline the immediate thought in my head was **\"Yes!\"**. The study goes into more detail and gets deeper into the impact it would have on reporting.\r\n\r\n> “Our results indicate that the routinization of Twitter into news production affects news judgment,” the researchers write. “For journalists who incorporate Twitter into their reporting routines, and those with fewer years of experience, Twitter has become so normalized that tweets were deemed equally newsworthy as headlines appearing to be from the AP wire. This may have negative implications.” Among those implications, they argue, is that journalists can get caught up in a kind of pack mentality in which a story is seen as important because other journalists on Twitter are talking about it, rather than because it is newsworthy.\r\n\r\nThe \"firehose\" feed of Twitter is something that some people find uninteresting, but there are some people and professions that I think find it highly addictive and compelling. Watching an AP news feed, or a financial ticker, feels and looks a lot like watching the Twitter timeline. I count myself in the group of people that find that addictive. I tend to think journalists as a group would too.","saved":"2018-10-16T12:20:05Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"50064a6544456c480344f9bf52794d19","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b647ee3fad65/","kind":"page"},

Facebook launched in February, 2004, and sold its first ad two months later. True, “Facebook Flyers” bear little resemblance to the News Feed ads that power the company today, but Zuckerberg’s immediate instinct to build not just a product but a company is notable.\n\nWether it is Instagram or WhatsApp, the founders that sold those companies were made extraordinarily wealthy.

But the reasons don’t show up in Apple’s comparison spec list (even though some of them could). I’ve focused nearly the entirety of my testing on taking photos and videos side-by-side against my 10-month old iPhone X. Overall, I’m simply blown away by the iPhone XS’s results. Sometimes the difference is subtle but noticeable; sometimes the difference is between unusable and pretty good. The iPhone XS can capture still images and video that the iPhone X cannot.\n\nSome further details on the changes in the camera mechanism.\n\n> “32 percent larger sensor”, however, means something very specific, and it should perk up the ears of any photographer — even one who’s skeptical of Apple’s “computational photography” claims.

This about face and apology is significant.\n\n> This week people in our community confronted me about my lifetime of not understanding emotions.  My flippant attacks in emails have been both unprofessional and uncalled for.  Especially at times when I made it personal.  In my quest for a better patch, this made sense to me. I know now this was not OK and I am truly sorry.\n\nThis is a really big deal as Linus is a [role-model for many technologists](https://ds9a.nl/articles/posts/linus-communications/). If he thinks it is appropriate to tear people apart over their code, maybe that would be a cool thing to do in a code review at the office! Hell no.\n\nI was also pleased to see [this commit](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8a104f8b5867c682d994ffa7a74093c54469c11f) to adopt a proper Code of Conduct for Linux Kernel development.

Genetically engineered mosquitoes have already been released in places like Brazil and the Cayman Islands, though animals with gene drives have never been released in the wild.\n\nThat immediately reminded me of one of the most memorable passages from A Crack in Creation, the story of CRISPR.\n\n> CRISPR gene drives, by contrast, are self-sustaining; since the mode of inheritance appears to outsmart natural selection, the modified insects propagate and pass on their defective traits indefinitely. This thoroughness is what makes gene drives so powerful—and so alarming. It's been estimated that, had a fruit fly escaped the San Diego lab during the first gene drive experiments, it would have spread genes encoding CRISPR, along with the yellow-body trait, to **between 20 and 50 percent of all fruit flies worldwide**. \n\nThis population of mosquitos being released are 99% male, so there shouldn't be any risk.","saved":"2018-09-09T13:09:12Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"d0046f1056e1e16acc45e1901f290d5d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f1867ac0fe61/","kind":"page"},

At the time I honestly didn’t really hear what she was saying, but the matter stuck with me and over the last few years I've largely removed \"guys\" as a reference to a group of people. I think this is important, especially in industries like tech with such large gender imbalances.\n\n> I also heard that guys could grate on women working at male-heavy companies. In tech in particular, some told me they saw the word as yet another symptom of a female-minimizing industry. “There are a lot of guys in tech and ‘guys’ is used all the time in my work and social environments by both men and women, but since it doesn't resonate with me anymore, I do feel like I'm not part of the group,” says Amy Chong, a 29-year-old user-experience researcher in San Francisco.\n\nPer the article I don't like using the term \"folks\". Perhaps it is because I’m from the midwest, but I have the perception that it feels too folksy. I tend to just say sentences differently, so that I can use terms like \"everyone\" instead. Sometimes I get tripped up, but that is pretty rare these days.\n\nI do now notice much more when people do use \"guys\" to address groups of men or women. The oddest to me is when I see a woman address a group of all women and use the term \"guys\". I don't correct these, but I do find it an odd use. The article actually comes to the conclusion that that is all probably fine, and will continue and that \"guys\" will lose it’s gender even more than it has in the past. 🤷‍♂️","saved":"2018-08-29T04:06:26Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"cb69da29b7cee5a331ad07bdd19235a2","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9a807d499b77/","kind":"page"},

It’s nice to see privacy included in the code.","saved":"2018-07-19T12:47:42Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"cacd5e06ba2075273cb51a876d639b65","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/628bfa67c448/","kind":"page"},

I've seen the struggles of Scaling Agile beyond a small number of teams and SAFe seems to have a thought for how that can be done. In the interest of sharing the positive over the negative, I came to this link from  [Marty Cagan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cagan/)'s total and complete takedown of SAFe, **[Revenge of the PMO](https://svpg.com/revenge-of-the-pmo/)** (please read in addition to this link)!\n\nHe highlights that many organizations, in his view, have yet to truly embrace the most important part of agile. \n\n> So then – and still today – in most companies, the stakeholders still provide the teams with roadmaps of what features and projects the stakeholders think best.  Even though the teams use Agile methods, the teams are not empowered and accountable in the sense I’m describing.  They are there to implement.\n\nHonestly, I would agree with that assertion. \n\n> A couple years ago I wrote about the [root causes of product failure](http://www.svpg.com/product-fail) in product companies and I identified ten key attributes of Waterfall and project-mindset.  I went through and compared this list with SAFe, and literally all ten problems exist in SAFe.  Indeed, I would argue that all ten problems are inherent in that process.\n\nHe does give that there are three areas where SAFe may work well, and I note that one of them is a \"big regarding-platforming event\". I wonder if this goes back to product versus project organizations?\n\nI strongly endorse his view that tools are not agnostic of culture.\n\n> But it’s critical to realize that most tools are not agnostic.  Their creators are trying to facilitate a certain way of thinking or working.  You need to ensure that’s how you want to think or work.\n\nBoth of these articles are worthy reads to make sure that you see all sides of this agile discussion.

Only a year ago, when I would talk to big money players in the digital media world, there was a consistent refrain: social video on Facebook, that’s the whole game. That struck me as crazy at the time, given everything we were seeing in the industry. And it was crazy. There’s no news publisher entitlement to Facebook traffic. And Facebook is a highly unreliable company. We’ve seen this pattern repeat itself a number of times over the course of company’s history: its scale allows it to create whole industries around it depending on its latest plan or product or gambit. But again and again, with little warning it abandons and destroys those businesses.\n\nWether Facebook [is a platform or not](https://stratechery.com/2018/the-bill-gates-line/), it does not have the maturity and long-term view needed to run a platform that supports a vibrant ecosystem over the long term.","saved":"2018-07-05T13:01:55Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"6129134ae2287d91ea31181631f684cc","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a02c4ada3583/","kind":"page"},

Maps have gotten better since the alarmingly poor launch, but that improvement hasn't been able to deal with a fundamental issue of poor data on the bottom.\r\n\r\n> Decision made, Apple plowed ahead, building a product that relied on a patchwork of data from partners like TomTom, OpenStreetMap  and other geo data brokers. The result was underwhelming.\r\n\r\nI've always felt this decision was odd for Apple and driven by missing the importance of map data early on. They had to partner so they could get to market, after relying for so many years on Google's maps. But Apple's path has always been to own all parts of the stack. The iPhone is Apple hardware, software and Apple everywhere in between. Maps was a mashup of different data.\r\n\r\nIt’s interesting to me that the mapping vans have LIDAR on them as well. They are capturing an immense amount of data here. And pulling in more data from the millions of iPhones in use. They are still focusing on privacy as well in the effort.\r\n\r\nThe results of this are going to be very interesting to see.","saved":"2018-06-30T12:22:17Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"6c79f577123a3f2926a10ad16bf087df","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4f6bcd28a03c/","kind":"page"},

Why? Trust.\n\nThis sentiment definitely resonated with me.\n\n> We exacerbate the problem because we don’t want to say the hard thing because we have the same voice in our head telling them, “It would be hard for me to hear this, so I don’t want to say it.”\n\nIt’s hard to give and get candid feedback.

Most people want to do the right thing and be successful.\n\n> People do not choose to fail or disappoint. No one wants to feel incapable, apathetic, or ineffective. If you look at a person’s action (or inaction) and see only laziness, you are missing key details. There is always an explanation. There are always barriers. Just because you can’t see them, or don’t view them as legitimate, doesn’t mean they’re not there. Look harder.\n\nThis is a great call to action for leaders.

Additionally, I feel like legislative activity in this area shows the most direct line to lobbying and money-driven votes.\n\n> So the carriers are already reneging on their promise to customers that they won’t share location data without customer consent or a court order. But where does that leave us on net neutrality? The answer is that the major wireless carriers are already doing what was expressly prohibited under the FCC’s net neutrality rules: Favoring their own content over competitors, and letting companies gain more favorable access by paying more.\n\nThe data that we transmit when we use our mobile devices and broadband services is immensely valuable in the market. Unless legally blocked, this data will be sold. And the sellers and buyers have no interest in your privacy or anything else about protecting you. This is the same argument I often make online with free websites like Facebook. Here I find it more appalling because we all pay, in some cases a lot, for these services! We should have an expectation of privacy.\n\n> When I first saw a Carnegie Mellon University researcher show me last week that he could look up the near-exact location of any mobile number in the United States, I sincerely believed the public would be amazed and horrified at the idea that mobile providers are sharing this real-time data with third party companies, and at the fact that those third parties in turn weren’t doing anything to prevent the abuse of their own systems.\n\nSo the tinfoil hat people saying that our mobile phones are being used to track us everywhere are right. And it turns out most people seem to not care or not understand.","saved":"2018-05-28T19:51:36Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"1ba78eb48ea00cda81774f3d666c677c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a29842f560e8/","kind":"page"},

We can even internalize the supernormal stimulus—an example is the “phantom vibrate” we sometimes feel in our pocket when no vibration occurs. In the case of social media, the supernormal stimulus is used to exploit our response to novelty in order to elicit a behavior that works in the interests of the social media provider.\n\nI found this characterization of sharing jarring, and insightful.\n\n> Over time, these platforms transform us all into unpaid advertising agencies. We promote goods, services, lifestyles and desires to our friends, weaponizing images to generate feelings of jealousy and FOMO amongst our peers during those idle moments when they feel most bored.\n\nThis might be one of the most succinct characterizations of the end-state of social media platforms.\n\n> As a result, we end up building relationships to the platform — not to each other.\n\nThis is a long but well written thought piece on social platforms, and a very complete index of reasons to disengage from Facebook.","saved":"2018-05-10T02:54:49Z","tags":["_feature"],"toread":false,"meta":"cb99b8c3cf5188155b61ca1928eeac32","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/90d979e21451/","kind":"page"},

He is incredibly articulate and has thought deeply about how technology impacts our social lives. In this interview Lanier reflects on Silicon Valley and \"Big Tech\", specifically hitting on the social platforms. He points directly at the economic model of ad driven platforms as the cause for much of the problems of social media.\n\n> And there’s only one way to merge the two things, which is what we call the advertising model, where everything’s free but you pay for it by selling ads. But then because the technology gets better and better, the computers get bigger and cheaper, there’s more and more data — what started out as advertising morphed into continuous behavior modification on a mass basis, with everyone under surveillance by their devices and receiving calculated stimulus to modify them.\n\nContinued… \n\n> Because as long as you have advertising, you have this perverse incentive to make it manipulative. You can’t have a behavior-modification machine with advertisers and have anything ethical; it’s not possible. You could get away with it barely with television because television wasn’t as effective at modifying people. But this, there’s no ethical way to have advertising.\n\nLanier's position on social media is intense, and thought provoking.\n\n> It suggests that you’re just a cog in a giant global brain or something like that. The rhetoric from the companies is often about AI, that what they’re really doing — like YouTube’s parent company, Google, says what they really are is building the giant global brain that’ll inherit the earth and they’ll upload you to that brain and then you won’t have to die. It’s very, very religious in the rhetoric. And so it’s turning into this new religion, and it’s a religion that doesn’t care about you. It’s a religion that’s completely lacking in empathy or any kind of personal acknowledgment. And it’s a bad religion. It’s a nerdy, empty, sterile, ugly, useless religion that’s based on false ideas.

These solutions are optional.\n\n> Google, of course, knows one’s every search, for many people their every email, and thanks to the company’s ad network, control of Chrome and Google analytics, and, of course Android, pretty much everything else one does online.

I don't know if this type of study has been done often. With 39,441 respondents this would seem to be statistically valid. A lot of great data points and some interesting insights.\n\n> Unlike generations thereafter, if kids of the seventies wanted to see innovative technology, they’d have to build it themselves — they had no other choice. There were no widespread resources to teach them how to build software. Almost half of all developers (47%) between the ages of 45 and 54 started coding before they were 16 years old. Meanwhile, developers between 18 and 24 today are the least likely to have started coding before 16 (only 20%).\n\nThis data doesn't surprise me and I think it’s a little concerning. In the 70's and early 80's if you wanted to play on a computer there was really only one option — you learned to program that computer! Today there are so many options to get value out of technology that the requirement of programming comes from a power user need in a niche, or pure curiosity. I wouldn't take back any of the ease-of-use progress we've made, but exposing younger people that are interested to real development tools seems like something we should focus on. Myself, I started coding when I was in 1st or 2nd grade on a [TI-99/4A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments_TI-99/4A) using BASIC. I fall in the \"5 to 10\" bucket here.\n\n> Self-teaching is the norm for developers of all ages. Even though 67% of developers have CS degrees, roughly 74% said they were at least partially self-taught.\n\nThis makes complete sense in large part because a computer science degree doesn't teach you the tactical aspects that you need to be a programmer working in a company. To be clear, that is important stuff, but industry is generally ahead of academia and they have different goals — fundamental versus applied learning.\n\n> JavaScript may be the most in-demand language by employers, but Python wins the heart of developers across all ages, according to our Love-Hate index. Python is also the most popular language that developers want to learn overall, and a significant share already knows it.\n\nWhat little coding I do is in Python and I always recommend that people that want to learn programming start in Python. Clearly [Guido van Rossum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guido_van_Rossum), the [\"Benevolent Dictator For Life\"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benevolent_dictator_for_life) of Python, did something very right.\n\nAlso perhaps the editor wars are over?\n\n> VIM beats all other editors by a landslide.\n\nEven though `vim` is used four times as much, it turns out `vim` and `emacs` users in total use the same amount of memory. 😂\n\nA lot of interesting data. The data missing from here that I would like to have seen included would have been some analysis of gender. We know that we need to work to grow the ranks of women in tech and I wonder if any of this data would have highlighted some actionable gaps.","saved":"2018-01-26T11:59:06Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"82fa914a0e71458ed3dae8341f3c5ceb","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/15b8800a9a71/","kind":"page"},

I do believe and I think the evidence is clear that these products are designed to be addictive, but I don't think that is why executives at social media companies don't use their own products.

It’s hard to change yourself if you’re stuck in the same social orbit. There’s a gravitational force that pulls you into repeating the same circular pattern over and over again. Breaking out of that takes tremendous force.\n\nMany people can reflect on this in the college experience. It’s one of those seminal moments when you make a step change as a person. It happens when you change jobs. Sometimes it happens in the reverse, an alcoholic changes their friends as they become sober. The point is, your social network isn't a snowball that just gets bigger your entire life. It’s a collection that forms and reforms over years.\n\nI would also add the important thinking around [Dunbar's number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar%27s_number) that suggests the mean number of people that humans can maintain connections with is 148.

The owners of the webcams and DVRs used in the denial-of-service attacks don’t care. Their devices were cheap to buy, they still work, and they don’t know any of the victims of the attacks. The sellers of those devices don’t care: They’re now selling newer and better models, and the original buyers only cared about price and features. There is no market solution, because the insecurity is what economists call an externality: It’s an effect of the purchasing decision that affects other people. Think of it kind of like invisible pollution.\n\nHis argument is an interesting one and I think he's right. There are parts of the technology market where the buyer does care about security, but by device count that is far from a majority.

What we are seeing is the transitional period from the first arc of the iPhone and iOS to the second big arc, and during that time we'll have some overlap to allow users and apps to transition and for the cost curve to come down on the new tech. This is something that nobody has ever done at this scale, and those that have done it have not done it well.

A change to the screen will have 0 ms to 7 ms of extra latency as it waits for the next frame boundary before getting rendered (on average,we expect half of the maximum latency, or 3.5 ms). On top of that, even though my display at home advertises a 1 ms switching time, it actually appears to take 10 ms to fully change color once the display has started changing color. When we add up the latency from waiting for the next frame to the latency of an actual color change, we get an expected latency of 7/2 + 10 = 13.5ms\n\nI've never been bothered by latency from key to display on any of my computers, but it’s curious to see that the latency has gone up with complexity. I do notice this whenever I use an Android device. Touch devices drive the latency demand higher in my opinion since your finger is there and your brain and eyes want to see the reaction with as close to no latency as possible. For me Android has a frustrating amount of latency.","saved":"2017-12-27T00:32:45Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"61a3404b2fc89c3ce802858b91494139","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a877a7fd84f7/","kind":"page"},

This is a *tour de force* on the evolution and use of slides and presentation software evolution. It's a long read but pretty interesting and importantly balanced. It is not a takedown of PowerPoint but instead a robust exploration of the act of presenting and persuading. \n\n> This essay critically contextualizes PowerPoint. We argue that many of the stylistic conventions associated with slideware have long been part of business communications. Personal computing, however, scaled up the production of presentations. Doing so linked knowledge work with personal expression. The result has been the rise of presentation culture. In an information society, nearly everyone presents. Analyzing presentation software makes visible the largely under-appreciated reliance on performative authority in knowledge production. \n\nThe conclusion brings it home. I've never thought of PowerPoint as a part of visual culture!\n\n> PowerPoint is not a slide projector without a slide tray. It is not a neutral automation of existing processes. It is a part of visual culture, an increasingly everyday experience at every kind of occasion for speech.\n\nWorth reading.

I think one of the most important things for tech teams is to stay close to the problem they are solving and along with that stay close to their users. I remember when I was at MarketWatch we were building software for the news team and it was okay. Then we took those same developers and put them **in the newsroom**! A huge positive change in value delivery followed immediately. I’ve seen this repeated many times. \n\n> Talking about how technical teams make decisions, I often see a complete lack of understanding how to relate the business issues their organisation faces to the technical strategy. Regularly, I don’t see a technical strategy at all. The team may have made a decision like “We’re 100% microservices!”, but when I ask them they cannot give a good reason that relates to the business in a direct way.\n\nThis is absolutely spot on!\n\n> A well-articulated technical vision should match the business vision directly, especially in a tech company.\n\nThere should be total and complete alignment between your business and technology strategy in a tech company. \n\n> I think we’re often getting the build/buy decision wrong. Software development should be the tool of last resort: “we’re building this because it doesn’t exist in the form we need it”. I want to hear from more tech leaders about how they solved a problem without building the software, and tactics for avoiding development.\n\nI often look at work teams are doing and ask “is this differentiating?” If it isn’t you should buy it, if it is build it and be amazing at it. Make it your strategic more! If you feel it isn’t differentiating but you still need to build it do so with *extreme caution* and be miserly. You may be right, but you may not be too.

This overview of the current size of the Facebook community is amazing.\r\n\r\n> What is Facebook? We can talk about its scale: Population-wise, it’s larger than any single country; in fact, it’s bigger than any continent besides Asia. At 2 billion members, “monthly active Facebook users” is the single largest non-biologically sorted group of people on the planet after “Christians” — and, growing consistently at around 17 percent year after year, it could surpass that group before the end of 2017 and encompass one-third of the world’s population by this time next year. Outside China, where Facebook has been banned since 2009, one in every five minutes on the internet is spent on Facebook; in countries with only recently high rates of internet connectivity, like Myanmar and Kenya, Facebook is, for all intents and purposes, the whole internet.\r\n\r\nThe point of this article is that Facebook has become something that we have never seen before. Something that we really don’t understand. The authors assertion is that Zuckerberg himself and Facebook as a whole doesn’t understand what it is.\r\n\r\n> But if Facebook is bigger, newer, and weirder than a mere company, surely his trip is bigger, newer, and weirder than a mere presidential run. Maybe he’s doing research and development, reverse-­engineering social bonds to understand how Facebook might better facilitate them. Maybe Facebook is a church and Zuckerberg is offering his benedictions. Maybe Facebook is a state within a state and Zuckerberg is inspecting its boundaries. Maybe Facebook is an emerging political community and Zuckerberg is cultivating his constituents. Maybe Facebook is a surveillance state and Zuckerberg a dictator undertaking a propaganda tour. Maybe Facebook is a dual power — a network overlaid across the U.S., parallel to and in competition with the government to fulfill civic functions — and Zuckerberg is securing his command. Maybe Facebook is border control between the analog and the digital and Zuckerberg is inspecting one side for holes. Maybe Facebook is a fleet of alien spaceships that have colonized the globe and Zuckerberg is the viceroy trying to win over his new subjects.\r\n\r\nThis quote stood out to me. I tend to think a lot of social media is just for social media anyway.\r\n\r\n>Facebook is good because it creates community; community is good because it enables Facebook. The values of Facebook are Facebook.\r\n\r\nThis is a long article but it’s definitely worth a read.","saved":"2017-10-04T03:21:44Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"39a5df12b1a7a5aacdd64ce3886c993f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/69c776c299fc/","kind":"page"},

Facebook is a for-profit company that is allowed to operate on it’s own rules, referenced in it’s Terms of Service and it’s Privacy Policy (which change frequently). Facebook is not the open web, it is not a neutral platform. The best analogy for Facebook is your local mall. If it were an open platform, like the web, the content on it would not be subject to the Terms of Service of Facebook.\n\nAs such, Facebook must have an opinion about the content that appears on the site. All of the content. Why? Because it **does** have an opinion about the content that doesn't appear on the site! You cannot have the right to manage content on one side, but not the other. If your local shopping mall had a store that was appalling to you it would be on them, they wouldn't get away with some \"well, we are an open platform\" argument. Because they are not. It is a chosen set of actions for a business goal. That is what Facebook is too, it just likes to pretend that it is something else so you don't realize you are being monitored and monetized.","saved":"2017-10-01T15:02:23Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"ccdb8359a0c7e9b6299d8f95e74cfed8","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/75943a3f4496/","kind":"page"},

Being deliberate in designing your working relationships as this article suggests is very important.\n\n> Effective relationship design is a two-way conversation. You cannot simply impose a dynamic, innovative environment by ordering people to “be creative” or “collaborate.” Creating the conditions in which creativity and collaboration are emergent properties of the larger system, the organization’s culture, is as much a result of your behavior as the rules you set. It is the encouragement you give as much as the discipline you enforce.\n\nThis, along with deliberate management of your calendar, are key elements to success.

So I've thought through a few potential ideas to bring back the good things about the open web.

First, this test bodes well for AI’s potential in solving other problems. AlphaGo has the ability to look “globally” across a board—and find solutions that humans either have been trained not to play or would not consider. This has huge potential for using AlphaGo-like technology to find solutions that humans don’t necessarily see in other areas. Second, while the match has been widely billed as \"man vs. machine,\" AlphaGo is really a human achievement. Lee Sedol and the AlphaGo team both pushed each other toward new ideas, opportunities and solutions—and in the long run that's something we all stand to benefit from.","saved":"2016-03-17T16:56:31Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7bf2b21afb9b1a2f0cbba09bdca166a6","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/bf3bc06cbf0c/","kind":"page"},

Given that AWS is a pioneer in building and operating these services world-wide, these lessons have been of crucial importance to our business. As we’ve said many times before, “There is no compression algorithm for experience.” With over a million active customers per month, who in turn may serve hundreds of millions of their own customers, there is no lack of opportunities to gain more experience and perhaps no better environment for continuous improvement in the way we serve our customers.

So after spending many years with Chef, I’ve found that Ansible is a lot easier to manage with startups. It’s easier to train developers, it’s easier to manage inventory and orchestration, and it works reasonably well on the scale of thousands of hosts. And less face it, if you have more than that, you’ll have to start partitioning. If you’re using Puppet, you’ll have multiple puppet masters, I’m assuming the same with Salt. For Chef, there’s the enterprise offering which gets pretty expensive and then you’ll have to deal with a slow search, so invariably there’s some usage of chef-solo going on and some self-configuration. But for most use cases, Ansible is just fine and is quick to both setup and is ridiculously easy to maintain. This is a fairly advanced post comparing Chef to Ansible and the patterns that are available.","saved":"2016-02-29T16:36:55Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e272096f4ef749c9fa7b394ddeb25894","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/70245037f64f/","kind":"page"},

This advisory covered two distinct issues; a backdoor in the VPN implementation that allows a passive eavesdropper to decrypt traffic and a second backdoor that allows an attacker to bypass authentication in the SSH and Telnet daemons. Shortly after Juniper posted the advisory, an employee of Fox-IT stated that they were able to identify the backdoor password in six hours. A quick Shodan search identified approximately 26,000 internet-facing Netscreen devices with SSH open. Given the severity of this issue, we decided to investigate.","saved":"2015-12-23T10:30:08Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"0430638febac198544559316a457db83","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4bd9b367713b/","kind":"page"},

The first key point is that the coffee-water mixture is the right temperature (between 195-205 f) from the beginning of the infusion. Few auto drip makers are capable of this. Over time, even a good auto-drip maker will brew at lower and lower temperatures - especially if it is no kept clean. Secondly, you gain some control over infusion time based upon the fineness of your grind, and pouring technique. Lastly (and I think, of great significance) is that you can keep this simple brew system very clean: auto-drip makers become foul with rancid coffee residue, and invariably even with drip machines that are diligently cleaned, I can immediately taste this bitter, off flavor","saved":"2015-10-05T11:36:43Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"5ff72f891c5a1dca3d9d2b3b432f41dd","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5c00c654d251/","kind":"page"},

While numerous graph processing systems have been developed and evaluated on available benchmark graphs of up to 6.6B edges, they often face significant dif- ficulties in scaling to much larger graphs. Industry graphs can be two orders of magnitude larger - hundreds of bil- lions or up to one trillion edges. In addition to scalability challenges, real world applications often require much more complex graph processing workflows than previously evalu- ated. In this paper, we describe the usability, performance, and scalability improvements we made to Apache Giraph, an open-source graph processing system, in order to use it on Facebook-scale graphs of up to one trillion edges. We also describe several key extensions to the original Pregel model that make it possible to develop a broader range of production graph applications and workflows as well as im- prove code reuse. Finally, we report on real-world operations as well as performance characteristics of several large-scale production applications.","saved":"2015-08-21T21:35:19Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"79842e42092a8d706c98465196706fc9","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f93f2b50b5eb/","kind":"paper"},

The series celebrated the 20th anniversary of the band—which recorded an album with sessions held in eight American cities—and included exhaustive documentary histories of the music and the rebellious artists, producers and sound engineers who forged music that defines places like New Orleans, Nashville, Washington D.C., New York and Seattle, the latter where Grohl first became known as the drummer of the iconic grunge band Nirvana. I just saw Grohl and his band play Citi Field in Queens, where he sang and played guitar as manically as is possible while seated in a Game Of Thrones-like chair designed by tour engineers to prop up the ankle he shattered when he fell off a stage in Sweden. After that injury, Grohl got backstage treatment for an ankle he said had turned into soft-serve ice cream and returned to finish the show with the doctor onstage, supporting Grohl’s leg so that it would not fall apart.

It supports high-availability applications with runtime features that minimize fault-recovery time, and scheduling policies that reduce the probability of correlated failures. Borg simplifies life for its users by offering a declarative job specification language, name service integration, real-time job monito ing, and tools to analyze and simulate system behavior.\n\nWe present a summary of the Borg system architecture and features, important design decisions, a quantitative anal- ysis of some of its policy decisions, and a qualitative examination of lessons learned from a decade of operational experience with it.","saved":"2015-07-27T10:17:58Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"533ea0c8803fe84f9479e662dca2c0c6","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c117784ecfeb/","kind":"paper"},

From simply breaking down silos and automating/measuring all the things, we’ve grown and started talking recently about complexity and inclusivity, burnout and empathy. We started trying to make people's professional lives better in the fields of development and operations; this expanded in two dimensions: both including more teams (QA! Databases! Even security!) and outside of the office, encouraging people to think about burnout and work-life balance.\n\nWhat’s missing from this picture? Or rather, what’s next for devops? I’d like to propose that, as the lines between the “online” world and the “real” world blur and fade away to nothing, we expand our view of devops to cover this whole new world. Let’s expand our empathy beyond just the tech industry, following the examples of B Corporations who work towards social and environmental good. And let’s talk about how we can make the world better, more empathetic, and safer for everyone, online and off.","saved":"2015-07-14T00:09:16Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"aa76557db992487c0e365420cd2f6633","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7364fca5a7ec/","kind":"video"},

One such world is carefully captured, curated, and re-created by Cole Rise, a San Francisco–based photographer with a substantial following on Instagram.

So I decided to get more serious about VPN.\n\nThe biggest reason (to me) to use a VPN service is security. VPN gets you a private Internet connection anywhere there is WiFi. I don't care when I'm at home but in Starbucks I don't want anyone to get into Internet connection. It happens. There are other advantages to VPN including the ability to spoof your country of origin, so if you want to watch a video that is available in Europe but not in the U.S., a VPN can trick it into thinking you are in Europe, or Canada, or just about anywhere else. VPNs can also cut out web trackers and other creepy advertising nonsense but like said earlier, I was primarily looking for secure browsing and Internet access while on the road.\n\nI looked at several options and ended up signing up for Tunnel Bear. Tunnel Bear provides a reliable VPN connection with all of the above advantages and a simple interface. It's either on or it's off and that's about it.\n\nIf you want to spoof your country, that is easy as well. I wrote this post from Ireland via Hawai'i. I love living in the future.\n\nThe Tunnel Bear pricing is also reasonable. You get 500MB per month for free (that can go up with promotions) or you can get unlimited data for $4.99 per month. If you find yourself connecting to strange WiFi, check it out.\n\n ","saved":"2015-06-25T03:27:04Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2ef9725a1638deba7281b0c334aa8763","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/eb3890cdddf6/","kind":"page"},

Physical activity has a multitude of health benefits — it reduces the risk of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and possibly even cancer — but weight loss is not one of them.","saved":"2015-06-17T11:49:16Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"aa88a1cf3a2925aa3c0c3e56d672d7ae","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c5131de1fda1/","kind":"page"},

No cross-signature will be in place yet, so the certificates will not validate unless our root is installed in client software. As we approach general availability we will issue more and more certificates, but only for a pre-approved set of domains. This limited issuance period will give us time to further ensure that our systems are secure, compliant, and scalable.\n\nWhen it’s time for general availability, we will open up our systems to certificate requests for any domain. A cross-signature from IdenTrust will be in place for general availability, so that our certificates will validate automatically for the vast majority of consumers.\n\nEngineering and policy development for Let’s Encrypt began in earnest in mid-October of 2014. If we stay true to the schedule outlined above we will have built an innovative CA, capable of operating at Internet scale and without cutting corners, in just eleven months. That’s quite a feat, given all that’s involved, and a testament to the skill and dedication of our staff, partners, sponsors, and contributors.","saved":"2015-06-16T16:22:51Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7db48adef676704201fa2184ad112a1d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/db809e10d4ff/","kind":"page"},

You have a lot of people who trained up as \"Java programmers\", haven't seen a command line ever, and have no clue how the computer actually works. Most of them have never actually written a program; they just write classes and some Senior Chief Architect (who makes $246,001 per year and hasn't written a line of code since the 1990s) figures out how to stitch them together, and then tells some other clueless junior how to implement the glue in the gutshot hope that one will actually have the talent to make an actual working program out of the mess.

NYXBT represents the U.S. Dollar value of one bitcoin, based on transactions occurring on Coinbase Exchange and other select bitcoin exchanges.\n\nThe New York Stock Exchange administers some of the world’s most important indices, including gold and LIBOR. The creation of NYXBT represent a significant step forward in the continued adoption of Bitcoin and related payment technologies into the financial system. Earlier this year, the NYSE along with Spanish bank BBVA, USAA, and former Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit participated in Coinbase’s record series C fundraise of $75M.\n\nThe NYXBT will publish a daily value for one bitcoin in U.S. Dollar terms at 16:00 London time, the FX industry standard for marking rates. You can learn more about NYSE’s announcement and the NYXBT here.\n\nOur goal at Coinbase is to make payments more open and efficient around the world and today’s announcement will help bring further transparency to the Bitcoin ecosystem. If you haven’t already, start trading today on Coinbase Exchange.","saved":"2015-05-19T16:56:17Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b3ee5f59bb93a126d32b8a7927982d79","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b062226b7e43/","kind":"page"},

Despite the setback of the Great Recession, the U.S. economy more than doubled in size during the last three decades while middle-class incomes and buying power have stagnated. Great fortunes were made while many baby boomers lost their retirement savings. Corporate profits reached record highs while social mobility reached record lows, lagging behind other developed countries.

The idea is also similar to the 'gofmt' tool for the Go programming language: end all holy wars about formatting - if the whole code base of a project is simply piped through YAPF whenever modifications are made, the style remains consistent throughout the project and there's no point arguing about style in every code review.","saved":"2015-03-28T10:20:57Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"512a0cc7112070d317eb60f6366ec046","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/191b9f66524e/","kind":"repository"},

Mr Kolomoisky had financed pro-Kiev battalions and played a vital role in stemming the spread of separatism. Yet after Mr Kolomoisky deployed his personal militia in Kiev to block the government from regulating his business interests, the president had no choice but to sack him.  ","saved":"2015-03-27T17:48:24Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"78e730d5161a630492f26f636a7adf15","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/944cb80aaf13/","kind":"page"},

There are also some Python features that aren’t explicitly about locals but require them to be available, such as eval() and exec statements.  Finally, frame introspection is important for the JIT to be able to introspect its own stack frames to be able to support features such as deoptimization.

You feed the application IMAP credentials for the account or accounts you want to use (like a Gmail account, for example), and Mailpile then downloads all of your accounts messages into a local store, just as any other mail application does. Once downloaded, Mailpile also indexes the messages so that you can do fast local searchessomething thats hit or miss with other MUAs.\n","saved":"2014-09-16T03:29:36Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a68d2648d4361a2a74b1cd8c9d3b70b7","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4b0be41ca5ad/","kind":"page"},

The demonstrators also forced the annulment of a new anti-protest law that was, ironically, the cause of much of their protesting.\n\nThe protesters haven't been contented by this, however, and are still out in the streets, demanding the head of President Viktor Yanukovych and the staging of fresh elections. What began as a protest against the Ukrainian government's close ties with Russian leader Vladimir Putin has become a focus for wider discontent. However, Yanukovych seems in no mood to relinquish his power. As the social unrest spreads across the country, its first post-Soviet President, Leonid Kravchuk, has gone as far as to warn that Ukraine is on the brink of civil war. Dozens of people have lost their lives in just the last two days of violence.\n\nAt the end of January, VICE flew to Kiev as rioters hurled Molotov cocktails at police and the city turned into a battlefield.","saved":"2014-02-23T12:24:11Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"593546153d6b59b9c058143767bb0f66","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/91392a09e31a/","kind":"video"},

From Vietnam? Oh, that explains this knock-off rhetoric people are using. Indie creators are notoriously capitalizing on the nostalgia of the late 80s and 90s gaming culture, with difficult puzzle platformers and action side scrollers as far as the Steam library can go. No one is accusing these devs as stealing from Nintendo and Sega, despite the lineage being extremely clear and borrowed as homage. Its because the gaming community set up a success narrative for certain indie, mostly white, mostly men, mostly from English-speaking countries, developers who strive to make smaller games competitive with the big dogs. Ultimately, indie games play into the same capitalist model, to the point where many are attached to big publishers on distribution platforms like the PS4. Most indie games strive to be addictive entertainment just like AAA ones do and employ similar kinds of people with a shared background. Indies can stay because they dont threaten how big business works; instead, they merged right in with it. To this industry, using those green pipes was sacrilege, with the horrific possibility that, in Jasons words, some kids might grow up thinking these are Flappy Bird pipes.

Not only was he introducing a new kind of phone  something Apple had never made before  he was doing so with a prototype that barely worked. Even though the iPhone wouldnt go on sale for another six months, he wanted the world to want one right then. In truth, the list of things that still needed to be done was enormous. A production line had yet to be set up. Only about a hundred iPhones even existed, all of them of varying quality. Some had noticeable gaps between the screen and the plastic edge; others had scuff marks on the screen. And the software that ran the phone was full of bugs.  The iPhone could play a section of a song or a video, but it couldnt play an entire clip reliably without crashing. It worked fine if you sent an e-mail and then surfed the Web. If you did those things in reverse, however, it might not. Hours of trial and error had helped the iPhone team develop what engineers called the golden path, a specific set of tasks, performed in a specific way and order, that made the phone look as if it worked.  But even when Jobs stayed on the golden path, all manner of last-minute workarounds were required to make the iPhone functional. On announcement day, the software that ran Grignons radios still had bugs. So, too, did the software that managed the iPhones memory. And no one knew whether the extra electronics Jobs demanded the demo phones include would make these problems worse.","saved":"2013-10-04T21:16:59Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"d3434b4a96402906ac51f599ec11e2ea","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/10805d4107bd/","kind":"page"},

These new large datacenters are quite different from traditional hosting facilities of earlier times and cannot be viewed simply as a collection of co-located servers. Large portions of the hardware and software resources in these facilities must work in concert to efficiently deliver good levels of Internet service performance, something that can only be achieved by a holistic approach to their design and deployment. In other words, we must treat the datacenter itself as one massive warehouse-scale computer (WSC). We describe the architecture of WSCs, the main factors influencing their design, operation, and cost structure, and the characteristics of their software base. We hope it will be useful to architects and programmers of todays WSCs, as well as those of future many-core platforms which may one day implement the equivalent of todays WSCs on a single board.","saved":"2013-08-15T12:11:55Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"66705a77ef286d1451066607a89d5e39","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d4c71ca2b19a/","kind":"page"},

It feels weird giving a speech without him looking it over first.  I went to Karen and Kevin, and we decided to write this speech together in the hopes that we could put into use all that he taught us, or, if things don’t go well, to conclusively prove that oratory skills aren’t genetic.\n\nDad was many things, but when we thought over the qualities that made him so special, we kept coming back to two: his love of careful analysis and his relentless optimism.  Sometimes I think of it this way: he wanted to see the world clearly, and he wanted to focus on the good side of things.\n\nOn our family vacation to Guadeloupe, we rented a house in a quiet secluded valley.  One afternoon we came back after a long day and discovered the washing machine had spewed water all over the floor.  Dad said “Guys, I know it looks like a lot of water right now, but I think if we all work hard, we can be done in 15 minutes.”  We all grabbed mops and brooms and started trying to sweep the water out of the house.  Over an hour later, he said to us, “Okay guys, I know this has been pretty tough, but I think that in 15 minutes we’ll be able to get all of the water out of the first room!”  When the waters had finally abated, he said, “You know, there’s no one I would have rather had this happen with,” which we decided was meant as a compliment.  Even during the onerous cleaning, he couldn’t help himself from focusing on the good.\n\nAs many of us know, Dad loved analyzing things through books.  When he wanted to coach soccer, he bought books on soccer.  When he wanted to improve his squash game, he bought books on squash.  When he wanted to have kids, he bought books on parenting.  When we were getting ready to go to college, he bought books on having kids going to college. When he... well, you get the idea.  Anything he did, he wanted to see clearly how to do it right.\n\nHis love of analysis and optimism could merge together to hilarious effect.  For instance, he once looked into how likely people are to follow your book recommendations based on how many books you recommend.  We went to his talk at the 2008 Adaptive Hypermedia Conference in which he described the answer.  It turns out that if you recommend too many books to people, they get overwhelmed and are less likely to follow your suggestions.  As he told us in his talk, the optimal number of books to recommend turns out to be about two.  When he said this, Karen, Kevin, Mom and I burst out laughing from the back of the room, because we knew that he usually didn’t even come close to limiting himself to two books, and sure enough, he proceeded to recommend about seven or eight books during the talk.  Even though he saw the situation clearly, he couldn’t restrain himself from focusing on all the good books he had read.\n\nHis love of analysis could be frustrating.  Every time we wanted to stop for fast food on a road trip, we first had a long and complicated decision-making process.  Unlike many families who would quickly decide where to eat, we always decided by voting.  The first and most important step in voting was deciding what voting process we would use.  We could spend upwards of half an hour discussing the merits of the different systems before finally voting on a place to eat.  He wanted us to see clearly how the various voting systems had different benefits and drawbacks.  He also got to see clearly the drawbacks to depriving Mom and Karen of food when they were hungry.\n\nAlthough we teased him about his tendency to overanalyze, it was clearly an asset to him.  His incredible academic record speaks for itself, but it also let him see some important things very clearly.  One Christmas when I was in middle school we had relatives visit us and I threw a fit because they wanted to celebrate Christmas differently from how we usually did it.  I’ll never forget what he told me: “With family, it can often feel like you put in more than you get out.  But if you look around, the people who take the time to invest in family are happier than those who don’t.”  Sometimes with family, things are wonderful, and everything feels easy.  He saw, though, that with family, it can often feel like you were the one bending, that you were the one putting your needs second, that you were the one who had to make the bigger compromise on what you wanted.  And he saw that focusing on family was good and worth it.  He saw the world very clearly.\n\nMom, Dad, Karen, Kevin, Anthony and I spent Christmas at my dad’s hospital in D.C.  With all that had been going on, there were few gifts, and few of our usual Christmas traditions.  But Dad wanted to focus on the good, and so we focused on the good.  We did crossword puzzles.  We sang “I’ll be home for Christmas” with limited choreography, and we had to do several takes so that he could get the swaying right, with my mom and I each grabbing one of his shoulders so that we could pull him to the side at the right moments - Dad had many gifts, but music wasn't one of them.  And we did my dad’s daily walk through the mostly deserted hospital halls in true Christmas style, my dad the squash player panting after the first one hundred yards but insisting that the rest of us sing Christmas carols, focused on how good it was that we were all together.\n\nOne final thing that Dad saw extremely clearly was the value of his marriage.  He made no secret of his love of Mom.  As he was gearing up for one of his grueling rounds of treatment, he told me, “It’s hard to imagine anyone more nurturing than your mother.”  One of the side effects of the treatment was that his body retained fluid.  This made it impossible for him to wear his wedding ring, which he called “his most precious possession.”  There was a special moment before that treatment, when he passed his wedding ring to my mom and she slipped it on her finger inside hers (“closer to her heart,” she said).  He had a vulnerable look on his face as he passed the ring over, so clearly seeing what she did for him, and how much she meant to him.  She had a more practical, determined look on hers, the look of someone who is about to spend a week in the hospital with her husband as they fight for his life.\n\nOne morning at breakfast my dad mentioned how much he hated the phrase \"lost a battle with cancer.\" He said it made it sound as though if he only tries harder, he could win his own battle. So today, let’s remember my Dad as a winner: the wonderful father, the loving husband, the curious scholar, the caring friend, the thoughtful Catholic, the patient teacher, and the good man that he was.\n</blockquote>","saved":"2013-07-29T21:45:06Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"aa7374ed38decb6d2b660d525c501cc0","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5dea606f1f05/","kind":"page"},

Interesting topic.\n\n<blockquote>\nThis thesis analyzes the construction of racialized notions of authenticity within American popular musical genres across the span of the 20th Century, but especially from a crucial period between the years 1938 and 1965. In these pages I argue that the discursive construction of genres is a narrative act, one intended to provide symbolic resolution to real and felt dilemmas in people's lives. My first chapter focuses on the singer, Nat \"King\" Cole, arguing that the retrospective construction of the rock and roll genre as an example of a hybrid or crossover musical from by critics in the late 1960s and early 1970s helped fix in the popular imagination a notion of \"authentic black music\" which effectively marginalized Cole, an important African American musician whose musical style was at odds with this critical construction of racial style. My second chapter argues that jazz trumpeter John Birks \"Dizzy\" Gillespie's efforts to combine African American and Afro-Caribbean musical forms included a strategic discursive crafting of a narrative of origins which placed jazz as an expression of musical Afro-internationalism. My third chapter argues that critics and audience involved in the blues revival of the early 1960s reconstructed what had been a female-dominated African American popular form as a kind of unpopular popular music: music distinguished in the marketplace by its supposed transcendence of the marketplace via its vernacular roots, and as a musical form dominated by the male figure of the rural bluesman. In conclusion I argue that these efforts to narrate authentic and anti-capitalistic origin for and expressions of popular, commercial forms reveal, within the American public imagination, deep-seated anxieties about the gulf between the cultural influence of African American music and the social and political situation of African American citizens, and, on another level, anxieties about the contradictions inherent in the experience of transcendent pleasure through commercial musical forms.\n</blockquote>\n","saved":"2013-04-03T03:08:10Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"50952654595dd3ddc5385cec0dbc9beb","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/97c8c717092b/","kind":"page"},

In the House, the effort is led by Jim Himes, a former Goldman Sachs vice president who represents the Connecticut bedroom communities of Wall Street traders. Himes, who has aggressively defended the bills, was also just named the national finance chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the campaign arm for House Democrats. So this effort to bestow gifts on Wall Street comes from the very congressman who has to raise money for his colleagues in the midterm elections, presumably from the same bankers hes aiding. And of course, his role as finance chair makes him extremely important to his fellow members, who then trust him as he drops legislation to gut derivatives rules.","saved":"2013-03-21T17:46:38Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3c4b10c32c1bc0c8bf4113a96477fb76","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7f80da267eaf/","kind":"page"},

Young adults showed comparable fixation durations and theta activity for all three devices. Comprehension accuracy did not differ across the three media for either group. We argue that these results can be explained in terms of the better text discriminability (higher contrast) produced by the backlit display of the tablet computer. Contrast sensitivity decreases with age and degraded contrast conditions lead to longer reading times, thus supporting the conclusion that older readers may benefit particularly from the enhanced contrast of the tablet.

The new NAS contains two notable changes to the underlying hardware. Ars spoke with Drobo VP Mario Blandini, who informed us that the processor in the 5N has been beefed up from a dual-core ARM CPU to a \"multicore\" ARM CPU. More than anything else, this will boost throughput over the older models, as one core of the dual-core ARM CPU had been dedicated to running the Drobo's back-end operating system and BeyondRAID storage system, and the other core ran a virtualized Linux instance which handled all the file shares and front-end IO. Large network file transfers were handled by the front-facing virtualized Linux environment and would quickly peg the single available core of the split-brained CPU, even if the disks weren't being taxed. Older models rarely climbed past 30-40MB per second even in large streaming file transfers.\n</blockquote>\n","saved":"2012-12-13T15:48:35Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"c6a342ba16901e6aafad8d040400d5f8","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9404fc4d30ba/","kind":"page"},

It is common to segregate different aspects in different places: you might write opinionated rants about movies in your blog under a pseudonym while participating in a forum or web site for scholarly discussion of medical ethics under your real name. However, it may be possible to link these separate identities, because the movies, journal articles, or authors you mention are from a sparse relation space whose properties (e.g., many items related to by only a few users) allow re- identification. This re-identification violates peoples intentions to separate aspects of their life and can have negative consequences; it also may allow other privacy violations, such as obtaining a stronger identifier like name and address.  This paper examines this general problem in a specific setting: re- identification of users from a public web movie forum in a private movie ratings dataset. We present three major results. First, we develop algorithms that can re-identify a large proportion of public users in a sparse relation space. Second, we evaluate whether private dataset owners can protect user privacy by hiding data; we show that this requires extensive and undesirable changes to the dataset, making it impractical. Third, we evaluate two methods for users in a public forum to protect their own privacy, suppression and misdirection. Suppression doesnt work here either. However, we show that a simple misdirection strategy works well: mention a few popular items that you havent rated.","saved":"2012-11-04T18:04:56Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b9e35dffa72b8835f4218482207db401","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a0c18413b8a7/","kind":"paper"},

We do TCO (total cost of ownership) models for customers all the time, and we may launch a public, automated shopping cart style TCO and Cloud On-Ramp Calculator in the near future (hint!), but in the mean time, heres a cheat sheet(PDF) I put together to help with basic, quick, cursory AWS pricing. </blockquote> ","saved":"2012-10-12T18:00:44Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"f7f2e4e4d11145ed7127634683433aed","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/35f0d30d1952/","kind":"page"},

Even without the aurora, the sky would be notable for the arching band of our Milky Way Galaxy and the interesting field of stars, nebulas, and galaxies.

These days that access is a lot easier to get.\n\nThe key point though of this article I can't really agree with. There are many careers that cannot be self learned (example, integrated circuit design).\n\nPlus, let me go on the record against this term \"hustler\" as it applies to startups and business. It's a short road from there to huckster.\n\n<blockquote>\nThat's not to say that school has no benefits whatsoever. It does, and although I left with zero additional skills after my three semesters there, I had a good time and benefited from the social aspect.

Just plug it into any USB host and the X16-1C mounts as a USB Mass Storage Device (like a USB flash drive). Data is stored in plain text Comma Separated Values (.csv) files, ready to be imported into any spreadsheet, word processor, or end user application. The X16-1C options are set up easily using a simple text based configuration file.\n</blockquote>\n","saved":"2012-06-09T05:13:02Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"fa1f251720bed794f49d120cac01438e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7c43cccf8865/","kind":"page"},

Using order-level NASDAQ data, we find that the millisecond environment consists of activity by some traders who respond to market events (like changes in the limit order book) within roughly 2-3 ms, and others who seem to cycle in wall-clock time. We define low-latency activity as strategies that respond to market events in the millisecond environment, the hallmark of proprietary trading by a new breed of high-frequency trading firms. We construct a measure of low-latency activity by identifying strategic runs, which are linked submissions, cancellations, and executions that are likely to be parts of a dynamic strategy. We use this measure to study the impact that low-latency activity has on market quality both during normal market conditions and during a period of declining prices and heightened economic uncertainty. Our conclusion is that in the current environment, increased low-latency activity improves traditional market quality measures such as short-term volatility, spreads, and displayed depth in the limit order book.","saved":"2012-05-30T10:03:19Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"989831c824318c252086fb7fbae65d34","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/811ebe3e764f/","kind":"page"},

On one hand it sounds like a really great idea, but I'm not convinced. As someone that sees a lot of resumes the reality is that these days they are usually presented in nearly unformatted text in some recruiting application. LinkedIn becomes a more readable resume. A paper resume is still key to bring with you to the interview though. But even then, I would worry that these resumes present something that the candidate is not. If you are someone that doesn't focus on design, but presents a gorgeously designed resume, it would seem odd. Since a resume is really the person, it feels like it would leave the person receiving it confused.\n\n> First you'll shop for a resume. You can choose your preferred delivery time and the number of pages in your resume. When you complete the checkout process, you'll be directed to a page where you'll upload the information for your resume and provide any special instructions. We'll custom typeset your content and email you a high-resolution PDF version of your resume along with a matching, editable cover letter. Your purchase includes up to 2 rounds of revisions, if they're needed.

That just isn't the case.  I'm not sure who the companies are that are buying companies for $5M. I would suggest those are mostly talent acquisitions, which isn't putting $5M in the founders pocket. It's putting a $5M earn-out, likely with clawbacks and other provisions on the table. Very different. Not inherently bad, but it's not time to go to the beach by any means. The real work has just started in that case.  I've done 7 transactions, which is  a small number but way more than most folks. Two of those were asset purchases of dead companies. Those are the ONLY times we ever even considered a transaction under $10M. Most companies that can write those checks, or spend the equity, have no interest in \"small ball\" moves like that.\n\n> Let's put some #s on it. Suppose you want to end up with $5M (gross). Let's say for the moment, after all is said and done, the initial founders end up with 30%. If you have two co-founders (3 people) you'd need a $50M sale to end up with $5M, as you'd get 10% of it personally. With one co-founder, you'd need a $33M sale and with no co-founders, a $17M sale.","saved":"2012-04-11T17:51:25Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"457443224596bceec8dd1ae066f7070b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d0ab838b1eb2/","kind":"page"},

It is hence interesting trying to understand how they do it. While most of the attention concentrated on article pages, a less known share of activities happen on user talk pages, Wikipedia pages where a message can be left for the specific user. This public conversations can be studied from a Social Network Analysis perspective in order to highlight the structure of the talk network. In this paper we focus on this preliminary extraction step by proposing different algorithms. We then empirically validate the differences in the networks they generate on the Venetian Wikipedia with the real network of conversations extracted manually by coding every message left on all user talk pages. The comparisons show that both the algorithms and the manual process contain inaccuracies that are intrinsic in the freedom and unpredictability of Wikipedia growth. Nevertheless, a precise description of the involved issues allows to make informed decisions and to base empirical findings on reproducible evidence.

Many technologies, such as those in the NoSQL space were developed in response to the limitations of current storage systems as an effective mechanism to deal with these mountains of data. And much of that data is interconnected in ways that, when organized properly, gives interesting and often valuable information. InfiniteGraph, the distributed and scalable graph database, was designed specifically to traverse connections and provide the framework for a new set of products built to provide real-time business decision support and relationship analytics. This presentation examines the technology behind InfiniteGraph and explores a couple of common use cases involving very large scale graph processing.","saved":"2012-01-06T20:20:29Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4b2dcee6182c7349a1653fb7a89ccad5","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/262c6bf28072/","kind":"page"},

A narration of a summer motorcycle trip undertaken by a father and his son, the book becomes a personal and philosophical odyssey into fundamental questions of how to live. The narrator's relationship with his son leads to a powerful self-reckoning; the craft of motorcycle maintenance leads to an austerely beautiful process for reconciling science, religion, and humanism. Resonant with the confusions of existence, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a touching and transcendent book of life.","saved":"2012-01-06T19:26:26Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"224b966724f7c7114fc1294359ec9212","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d4f3fa5ebc0b/","kind":"book"},

Whether you think this is a bad or good thing, it certainly means that I have a lot of meetings each day. Given that I work in an international cooperation that has a complex, multi-dimensional and geographical distributed organisation, many of my meetings are either audio, web or video conferences. It comes as no surprise that many of these meetings are poorly prepared with no clear agenda or objective. If you have five of these on a day, you really look back and ask yourself what you have achieved other than burning valuable lifetime on the phone. But you either accept the status quo or the responsibility to change it. Changing it means you need to set an example, independent of where in the hierarchy you sit. For those meetings that I host or which I at least co-host or influence, I have changed my approach from the typical lets wing it to more conscious preparation. It surprisingly doesnt really take much more time, but delivers significantly improved results.","saved":"2011-12-23T05:22:47Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e74928595a3e216867f27e2c9f5bd68b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/774b664823a4/","kind":"page"},

For those who dont have a clue what Angry Birds is all about, here is a quick synopsis. The game involves employing a sling shot to propel small cannonball-shaped birds with really bad attitudes at rather fragile glass and timber houses populated by basically catatonic green pigs. The basic thrust of the game is to bring about the demise of the pigs as quickly and expertly as possible by collapsing the pigs houses on top of their (sometimes) helmeted heads. Obviously, this sounds like a truly dumb concept. However, there is a catch.","saved":"2011-12-19T19:18:30Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"717420903a6b2c1d5c4b5b64e6b8750c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9b30fa4c6dc1/","kind":"page"},

The weather got a bit worse after it snowed one night. There was barely any snow, maybe half of an inch, but the temps got to below 30 so the snow did not melt on the shady sides at all. The motivation to stay warm and climb hard was not as easy anymore so some of us were barely even climbing. During my stay I had some time to take video and photos of the trip.

With Akka, you can easily configure how Actors will be created, destroyed, scheduled, and restarted upon failure.","saved":"2011-12-14T16:18:14Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"681126d691f08b905954563cc6a8e84d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/70201b70b702/","kind":"page"},

While HipHop has helped us make significant gains in the performance of our code, its reliance on static compilation makes optimizing our code time consuming. We were also compelled to develop a separate HipHop interpreter (hphpi) that requires a lot of effort to maintain. So, early last year, we put together a small team to experiment with dynamic translation of PHP code into native machine code. What resulted is a new PHP execution engine based on the HipHop language runtime that we call the HipHop Virtual Machine (hhvm). We're excited to report that Facebook is now using hhvm as a faster replacement for hphpi, with plans to eventually use hhvm for all PHP execution. ","saved":"2011-12-14T15:39:31Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"89129cbc4b47300281430bd1a4c70422","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6f655f6db826/","kind":"page"},

An uncorrected problem in the rendezvous radar interface stole approximately 13% of the computer's duty cycle, resulting in five program alarms and software restarts. In a less well-known problem, caused by erroneous data, the thrust of the LM's descent engine fluctuated wildly because the throttle control algorithm was only marginally stable. The explanation of these problems provides an opportunity to describe the operating system of the Apollo flight computers and the lunar landing guidance software.","saved":"2011-12-10T06:07:59Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"07345973de775ee53291b24031173130","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/224c2ecdb7dd/","kind":"page"},

A set can be made with nothing more than a clothes rod, a 6ft 4×4 post, and a saw.","saved":"2011-12-02T10:27:47Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4d43948353571779f040f546bda06a9b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6598f7c49679/","kind":"page"},

Traditionally, metrics are performed by a batch job (running hourly, daily, etc.). Redis backed bitmaps allow us to perform such calculations in realtime and are extremely space efficient. In a simulation of 128 million users, a typical metric such as “daily unique users” takes less than 50 ms on a MacBook Pro and only takes 16 MB of memory. Spool doesn’t have 128 million users yet but it’s nice to know our approach will scale.

These structures can be represented as bipartite graphs of directors and companies, but direct comparison of empirical datasets is often problematic because graphs have different numbers of nodes and different densities. We compare empirical bipartite graphs to simulated random graph distributions conditional on constraints implicit in the observed datasets. We examine bipartite graphs directly, rather than simply converting them to two 1-mode graphs, allowing investigation of bipartite statistics important to connection redundancy and bipartite connectivity. We introduce a new bipartite clustering coefficient that measures tendencies for localized bipartite cycles. This coefficient can be interpreted as an indicator of inter-company and inter-director closeness; but high levels of bipartite clustering have a cost for long range connectivity. We also investigate degree distributions, path lengths, and counts of localized subgraphs. Using this new approach, we compare global structural properties of US and Australian interlocking company directors. By comparing observed statistics against those from the simulations, we assess how the observed graphs are structured, and make comparisons between them relative to the simulated graph distributions. We conclude that the two networks share many similarities and some differences. Notably, both structures tend to be influenced by the clustering of directors on boards, more than by the accumulation of board seats by individual directors; that shared multiple board memberships (multiple interlocks) are an important feature of both infrastructures, detracting from global connectivity (but more so in the Australian case); and that company structural power may be relatively more diffuse in the US structure than in Australia.","saved":"2011-11-10T14:45:06Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b97dd875a5c2b3fb033c076d81c4bdbb","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7c33c4ef9ff3/","kind":"page"},

With the help of regular support workers, Patricia looks after Aimee and makes sure there's milk in the fridge. It is Patricia who answers the door and welcomes me in.\n\n\nA horrifying and fascinating story. Noble wrote a book about her experiences and the varied body of art done by her various personalities can be seen here.

However, you dont really have to be a real developer, just pretend to be one! Heres how.\n\nStep 1: Start Facebooks Developer Application\n\nFacebook has a page, a group and an application called Developer  you want to click on the app, which you can find here.\n\nIf youve never used this app before, youll need to allow it to access your basic information, the same way you would when launching anything else for the first time on Facebook.\n\n\n\nAfter youve installed the Developer tool, click on create a new app, a button that appears in the top right corner of the screen.\n\nStep Two: Make Up A Name\n\nDeveloper asks you to provide some information about this app you just clicked the create button for.\n\nA pop-up asks you to input a display name and a namespace, and two of them cant be exactly the same. Its simplest to type in your full name for the first field and then in the second area, type it in without any spaces between words.\n\n\n\nThen a security popup window pops up, asking you to type in the letters you see.\n\nStep Three: Launch Open Graph\n\n\n\nWithin the left-hand column, click on the words open graph.\n\nFill out two different verbs. You can use get profile or choose whatever you want.\n\nNow youre almost done.\n\nAfter a few minutes, your profile will display a notification across the top suggesting you try timeline.\n\nClick get itnow and start playing with your timeline.\n\n\nNotice the upgrade is irreversible, so dont shoot the messenger if you dont like it.\n\nUntil the beta version of timeline becomes available to non-developers  Facebook says this will happen on September 30  only people whove upgraded their profiles to timelines will be able to see your timeline.\n\nReaders, have you upgraded your profile to timeline yet? If so, did you do anything creative with your cover photo? Please share your experiences in the comments section.\n\nGuest writer Eti Suruzon is vice president of planning and media at Blink.","saved":"2011-09-24T00:12:29Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"f05ef2895c7b3b4deefe6a7ffc8bee23","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6965b8c1b39e/","kind":"page"},

Historically, Facebook has managed this graph and has expanded it over time as we launch new products (photos, places, etc.). In 2010, we extended the social graph, via the Open Graph protocol, to include websites and pages that people liked throughout the web. We are now extending the Open Graph to include other actions and objects created by apps and enabling these apps to integrate deeply into the Facebook experience.\n\n\n\n\nThis How-To video walks you through our tutorial showing you step-by-step how to build an Open Graph app that allows users to publish stories about cooking recipes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are really excited about the new class of apps that are now made possible.

The windows will also expose the brewhouse workspace, and at certain parts of the day you can see the brewing in action.  Last, is a 40-seat patio on the east side of the building.

The company took a step towards that goal today, announcing a partnership with mobile distribution channel Zedge, a partnership that will bring Appia apps to users across the world.\n\n\nZedge is primarily known as a ringtones and wallpaper distributor. It is now branching out. Zedge's store will now offers games and apps, powered by Appia. With a supposed 40 million unique monthly visitors, Zedge can provide Appia with a platform that expands the reach of the traditional application store.\n\n\nSponsor\n\n\nThough Appia is growing, it has not caught as much developer interest. A month ago it announced outrageous growth numbers in comparison with other app stores, notching 40 million downloads for the month of July. That is more than 2,000% growth from its numbers in July 2010. Yet, as one developer I discussed Appia with said, \"those are great growth numbers for an app store that nobody has heard about.\"\n\n\nAppia lives very much within the middle of the pack of the \"second market\" of mobile content distribution. The Amazon Appstore and Getjar (which Appia considers its closest competitor) are the leaders, while Appia is trying to make a push up the supply chain. It has several other major partners, notably Opera Software whose browser is downloaded on 120 million phone world wide. It also partners with Vodacom South Africa, Samsung and America Movil.\n\n\nThose partnerships (along with the new one with Zedge) are an indication that most of Appia's business is outside of the United States. It has a developer program with more than 32,000 developers across the globe and the extent of its partnerships gives it a reach of 250 million mobile subscribers (feature phones included) across 175 countries. Appia has 140,000 applications available across nearly all mobile platforms.  \n\n\nThose are robust numbers. Yet, it is curious that most U.S. users probably have no idea what Appia is or does. U.S. developers: are you among the 32,000 in Appia's dev program? You know anybody who is? Let us know in the comments. \n\n\nDiscuss","saved":"2011-09-15T17:15:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4ef7a1c505b58b839b15b83a7fd543d1","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4fdaba10e54e/","kind":"page"},

And after a summer of winning more clients, expect to hear even more about Naiku in the near future. \n  \nThe education start-up offers an online education assessment platform that benefits both student and teacher, according to Corey Thompson, the company's co-founder and chief executive officer. (See The Line's previous coverage on the enterprise here.) \n  \nSince last March, the company has made impressive gains in traction. There are over 35,000 students signed up for the fall, representing a number of different school districts. \n  \n\"We're establishing partnerships now, and I think the Minnesota Cup win was helpful as validation for what we're doing,\" Thompson says. \"It just helps us as an early-stage company to get an audience with people in the schools.\" \n  \nNaiku has begun to turn the corner, from having to evangelize its technology to fielding calls from prospective clients. In other words, instead of knocking on doors, they're answering the phone. \n  \n\"It's so nice to have people call because they've heard about what we do, instead of having to explain it all the time,\" Thompson notes. \n  \nAnother big event in the past few months has been the development of a mobile device that can access Naiku's technology directly. Although the platform can be reached through an iPhone or iPad, not all students possess those, or can afford to buy them. The \"clicker\" developed by Naiku makes it more equitable for students and increases access to the technology. \n  \nWith school just starting, and more and more customers calling, it seems that Naiku won't be a freshman company for long. \n  \nSource: Corey Thompson, Naiku \nWriter: Elizabeth Millard","saved":"2011-09-14T00:00:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"ee8f97cc3c5d1b6cb6ed10c20a9943c0","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b7ecbecdd7f1/","kind":"page"},

For those who couldn't attend in person, we have the next best thing: audio recordings of the oral arguments in both Jewel v. NSA (MP3, WMA, OGG) and Hepting v. AT&T (MP3, WMA, OGG). \n\nThere are also a couple of excellent news reports on the courtroom action: the Associated Press story contains a detailed run-down of the legal issues while Wired's account of the arguments -- in addition to providing lots of background on the history of the cases -- includes high quality photos from inside the courthouse in Seattle.  \n\nWe can't predict when the appeals court will rule on our cases, but we hope it's soon.  We've been fighting to obtain a ruling on the legality of the NSA's surveillance program for over half a decade, and are still stuck at the starting gate thanks to the governments repeated claims of state secrecy and the unconstitutional \"immunity\" law that Congress passed for the telcos that have collaborated in the spying. Hopefully, the upcoming decisions in these cases will get us a step closer to finally imposing the rule of law on the NSA, and stopping the spying.","saved":"2011-09-02T01:42:21Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"1a6f4bdf425ec01e8ebfb5a936540a94","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/dc68ad114605/","kind":"page"},

Each and every contact stored on your phone is probably now also stored on Facebooks servers, as was re-re-rediscovered by Facebook users this past week. Whether or not people in your contact list even have Facebook accounts, their names and phone numbers are likely now in Facebooks possession. There is probably a clause buried deep within Facebooks terms and conditions that makes this invasion of your privacy OK on paper, but odds are still pretty good that its not OK with you. Complete instructions outlining how to remove all of your contacts phone numbers from your Facebook account can be found below. Whether or not the data will be completely wiped from Facebooks servers is unclear, but well leave that for the lawyers to figure out.","saved":"2011-08-12T23:06:28Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a4fd6f15e8478d1e4fb85de5b1e9620b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c5a7ce3e3f5b/","kind":"page"},

Allowing this merger to proceed would lead to an effective duopoly in the national wireless market that would result in higher prices for consumers and potentially thousands of job losses. My examination of this transaction has led me to conclude that AT&T's acquisition ofT-Mobile would substantially lessen competition in the already highly concentrated wireless communications market. In addition to my antitrust concerns, I am convinced that this type of horizontal consolidation does not serve the public interest. Consumers, businesses, regional wireless service providers, and handset manufacturers all depend on a competitive wireless market. The destruction of that competition would have grave repercussions for the economy as a whole and cannot be ameliorated by the application of conditions. I urge you to deny this proposal in its entirety.

{"id":"21c8bb398cb8","hash":"21c8bb398cb870a314dca5fd10e7a974","url":"http://tech.mn/news/2011/07/29/john-tedesco/","title":"Minnesota Welcomes Serial Tech Entrepreneur John Tedesco","note":"\n\nIt’s not every day that an experienced entrepreneur walks into Minnesota’s tech community, rolls up their sleeves and jumps right in.\n\nThere’s a laundry list of accomplished ‘techies’ born and raised in Minnesota who have never — and will never — give a damn about what’s happening within their local ecosystem, let alone re-invest anything into early-stage startups and the entrepreneurs behind them. How refreshing it is to share a story of the exact opposite. \n\nA self-described “business guy” by training, John Tedesco has started three technology-driven businesses all in  relatively disparate industries without a hard technical background of his  own.  Originally from New York,  he moved to Minnesota one year ago for family reasons after spending a the past decade in Southern California.\n\n“I had no connections here or really any idea what was happening within Minnesota’s tech industry,” he openly admits while discussing the transition.\n\nTedesco’s business-meets-tech background started in 1995 with GE Capital, where he founded and managed CRE-NET, an “intrapreneurial” MLS product for the the firm’s then burgeoning commercial real estate division.   Post GE, he continued his business education at Wharton for a few years and then, in early 1999, co founded and launched a pure play consumer startup called  paymybills.com with some seed capital and incubation from Idea Lab in Pasadena, California. As CEO, Tedesco went on to raise roughly $35m in venture capital and  grew the company to 200+ employees before conducting a $200m merger with Paytrust less than two years later.\n\n“It was a short, intense and amazing time of my life,” he recalls.\n\nIn 2002, he co founded Contigo (also out of L.A., but now headquartered in Vancouver) with a focus on safety and security services using emerging GPS technologies.  Contigo’s SaaS products range from various fleet management, asset tracking, and worker safety products to a recently launched spinoff called Moby, which is a private location sharing mobile app that’s “essentially the opposite of a foursquare”.\n\nSince the relocation, John’s gone head first into Minnesota’s tech scene — initially becoming a captain with Project Skyway, then a mentor for two of the Minnesota Cup’s high tech semifinalists and even joined the U of M’s Venture Center CEO in resident program.\n\n“I’m a huge supporter of entrepreneurship…how can you not be rooting   for the next innovation?  It’s how business evolves and what drives the real   growth in our economy. After hearing about Project Skyway and the annual   Minnesota Cup business plan competition, I thought they sounded like   great ways for me to give back some bits and pieces of what I’ve learned   over the years.  Thankfully, they’ve welcomed by interest.”\n\nWelcome John, and thanks for your efforts! We took it one step further asked him to share some bite-sized words of wisdom: \n\n1) F.O.C.U.S. – Tech entrepreneurs often can see their solution applied to a broad set of markets or are afraid to select a single market in which to dominate because it appears to limit their upside.  Nonsense!  You should always be able to say:  “we are the best at…” something before even considering other markets.  Amazon did it with books.  Google did it with search. Follow One Course Until Successful.\n\n2) Passion for problems – Be passionate about solving painful customer problems, not passionate about technology for technology’s sake.  Are you starting a new company?  Avoid being a technology solution looking for a problem.  An existing company?  Be able to translate any technology decisions into demonstrable customer benefits and ones that they that willing to pay for.  In most instances, customers have no idea or desire to know what is going on behind scenes.\n\n3) Run the numbers – Think you have a great business model or tremendous market opportunity?  Sit down and do some simple math on the back of a napkin and see whether your assumptions about market penetration and revenue per customer hold any water.  Numbers don’t lie.  It’s surprising how many entrepreneurs don’t run some basic numbers.\n\n4) Think like a surfer – Surfers don’t try to control the waves they ride.  They understand that their job is about timing. Too early and they’ll float endlessly.  Too late and they won’t capture the force of the wave and/or be crushed by it.  Technology markets evolve like waves and entrepreneurs need to accept that they can’t influence the evolution of a market.  Once they embrace this understanding, then they can focus their energies on the appropriate resource investment based on the maturity of their market.\n\n5)  Trust your gut – If your vision of a market was obvious to all, it wouldn’t be a vision – it would be reality.  Despite all the sage advice you may receive, ultimately no one should know your market better than you.  If your gut is wrong more times than its right, then you should look for a different role in the technology ecosystem.  But if your vision was right and you chose to ignore your gut and listen to others, you will regret what could have been.\n","saved":"2011-07-29T18:15:32Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"64be32368a8cf2606601382ec5358495","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/21c8bb398cb8/","kind":"page"},

The intent of the Robustness Principle was to maximize interoperability between network service implementations, particularly in the face of ambiguous or incomplete specifications. If every implementation of some service that generates some piece of protocol did so using the most conservative interpretation of the specification and every implementation that accepted that piece of protocol interpreted it using the most generous interpretation, then the chance that the two services would be able to talk with each other would be maximized. Experience with the Arpanet had shown that getting independently developed implementations to interoperate was difficult, and since the Internet was expected to be much larger than the Arpanet, the old ad hoc methods needed to be enhanced.","saved":"2011-07-28T09:19:59Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"681138a5c6623f3140e486c4daadc65b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f7907bdfe153/","kind":"page"},

Step two: launch a tech startup","note":"At  the ripe age of 18 and while still in high school, entrepreneur Nathan  Reimnitz picked up a copy of “Freakonomics” and made a conscious decision to skip the traditional college path.\n\nInstead, he (politely) passed on MIT, curtailed his skateboarding business, and went to work full steam on tackling a  much bigger industry in dire need of innovation — Real Estate.\n\nReimnitz,  now 22,  initially started his business in 2007 as a ‘for sale by owner  (FSBO)’ concept that would allow property renters and sellers to  leverage the marketing capabilities of technology without the need of a  realtor. “The book had a chapter about agents…a middleman whose  interests were actually their own, first and foremost,” he recalls.   Initially named and modeled after CarSoup, VillaSoup reached revenue  within two weeks by automating FSBO listings across a network of dozens  of classified sites for a flat fee.\n\n“Our  goal at the time, as it remains today, is to help as many rent or sell  their homes by having access to others who are searching for real  estate,” he says. “Although nowadays, we work with agents much more than  we do against them,” he admits, testifying to the degree that services  like his have leveled the playing field for the customer over the  years.  “…and getting our start during the real estate crash was  actually a good thing for a company like ours who assist sellers with maximizing  their profits.”\n\nToday, the newly re-branded SyncMyAd is a SaaS built on that same simple premise — uniting sellers and  renters (whether individual, agency, or managers) — with potential  buyers via automation tools.  The firm has continued to thrive with the  kind of results that come from years of learning, venture capital investment via Space Center Ventures, and a  business marriage with partner Dustin Griess (left).\n\n\n\nProving  to be successful is a control panel which allows property managers to  maintain a consistent message for their property across multiple online  websites on their own. Here, an interface allows customers to manage  property descriptions, photos, amenities, floor plans, and rent prices.\n\nOnce  a new customer has signed up and the property data is loaded into the  system, it is automatically shared with up to 1,500 websites through  classifieds, search engines, social networking sites, and ILS listing  services (multi-services). While never too specific on what the secret  sauce is, Reimnitz notes that “…with a high level of syndication, our  customers can be confident that their listings receive maximum exposure  across the web.”\n\nSyncMyAd  customers are able to select from one of two subscription-based models:  ‘single family’ or ‘multi-unit’, both of which currently run $39.95 per  month. For $79/month, they can upgrade to a Pro versions and obtain  additional features like premium placement, a phone tracking tool and an  ILS updater tool.\n\nWhile  competition exists in this space, SyncMyAd cites many advantages,  including being one of the first to market in the space as well as  “uniquely robust syndication capabilities” through strong partnerships  with companies like Cazoodle.com.\n\n“I  have never been the type of person to sit down and listen to someone  teach me,” says Reimnitz, “I would rather go out and start my own thing  and learn from my mistakes in the real world.”\n\nPerhaps other young and aspiring local entrepreneurs can find inspiration and confidence in Remnitz’s success.\n","saved":"2011-07-19T00:36:08Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"086f079272de8293273f20643b2f316c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1444a2b73fc5/","kind":"page"},

CrashPlan is an amazing piece of software (and also provides a fee-based amazing service). I’ve had both for a while and think very highly of them.\n\nTo solve a number of my own problems (not caused by either service!), I decided to investigate marrying them (the PogoPlug device, with the CrashPlan software). To be slightly more accurate, I wanted the device to perform an additional function (beyond backups). I wanted it to be my primary DLNA server.\n\nCaution: none of what follows is supported by either company. You will be voiding your PogoPlug warranty and CrashPlan does not support this configuration of their Linux software. Proceed at your own risk!\n\nMy primary reason for installing CrashPlan on this device is to compensate for the pathetic upload speed provided by Time Warner, all of 485Kbps, shared with my wife, for normal Internet use, VoIP calls and backups. In other words, not really a useful real-time backup solution. Since we are often at other, very high-speed locations, I still believe that paying for the CrashPlan online backup service is the way to go (and gives me great comfort), but when I’m home, I wanted a local solution (that didn’t involve plugging in a hard drive to my laptop).\n\nSince I was able to do this, successfully, the instructions can be found on the Net. Since it took me way longer to find the various pieces, let alone get them to work, than I felt it should have, I’m writing this (for myself, as well as for others who might give up more easily than I did). None of the credit goes to me, I’m just collecting the wisdom of others in one place, hopefully an easy one to find.\n\nThere are a number of Linux distributions available for the PogoPlug Pro (an ARM-based device). I chose Arch Linux because it was the most prominent one I found and because it has a very good reputation independent of the PogoPlug. The specific ARM implementation has it’s own site, which is where I started my odyssey.\n\nAfter reading the overview on that page, I clicked on the Installation tab. The instructions there are extremely clear. The first time I followed them, the formatting of my external drive failed. I ended up formatting the drive while it was connected to a laptop running Linux, but all of the other instructions on that page worked. I will repeat them here, so that anyone who doesn’t want to link off of this page can simply follow all the way through.\n\nYou have to register your PogoPlug at my.pogoplug.com. This is required, even though we will shortly be disabling the service, since this is the only way to get SSH access to the device. You will be able to reverse the process, returning the device to a full PogoPlug in the future, should you desire that, but it’s not a dual-boot situation where you decide which version you want it to be.\n\nOnce you’ve enabled SSH on the device, you can set your own password. The username will be root. The default password for a PogoPlug Pro is ceadmin (as noted, you can change it via the website, or once you log in, with the passwd command. Change it!\n\nOne of the steps that they don’t cover is discovering the IP address of your PogoPlug, so that you can SSH to it. In a home environment, this is relatively easy (for the geeks among us). You login to your router, look at the list of attached devices and easily spot it.\n\nI’m installing the software on a second device as I type along. I’m in an office environment and don’t have access to the router. There are hundreds of devices in the office. I had to write down the MAC address of the PogoPlug, go over to a system administrator and ask him to search the DHCP log files for that MAC address. He did and I found out the address that was assigned to it. Whew.\n\nI successfully logged into the device, just to make sure it worked, while it was still an official PogoPlug. That step was optional, but comforting. Since the next step is to power down the device (which you can safely do by just pulling the power cord, especially if you have no hard drives attached yet), since I’m logged in as root, I typed /sbin/halt instead, to be a little safer. Wait 60 seconds (for added safety), then pull the power cord.\n\nWe’re going to install Arch Linux on an external drive. The only thing that will be changed on the PogoPlug itself is the boot sector, which will now point to the external drive (that’s what would need to be reversed to restore the PogoPlug functionality).\n\nWith the PogoPlug powered down, attach only the drive that you intend to install Arch Linux on. This way there will be no confusion or errors. Later on, if you want multiple drives attached (for backups and/or media files) it will be easy to add them. I am using a 2TB Fantom Drives to do my install.\n\nOnce the drive is attached (and turned on), plug the power cord back into the PogoPlug and wait for it to boot. Then SSH back on to it (the root password will be what you set it to, or ceadmin if you didn’t change it). The box is still running the PogoPlug software, with your drive attached to it.\n\nType: killall hbwd\n\nThat will stop the PogoPlug software from running on the box. We don’t want it to interfere with the installation of Arch Linux. You might have to wait a bit for the service to stop. If you want to check, type the following:\n\nps | grep hb\n\nThe only result should your grep process. Then, you can type:\n\n/sbin/fdisk –l\n\nThe last line of output should start with /dev/sda1. That means your disk drive was found and has a partition on it (it’s likely formatted already). We are about to erase everything on the disk, so be absolutely sure that you want to continue with this adventure before doing that! If you’re ready, type:\n\n/sbin/fdisk /dev/sda\n\nThat will bring up the fdisk program on the entire drive (sda as opposed to sda1 which is the first partition). You will now have a prompt that is directly from the fdisk program. We will type a number of one character commands. Right after you type the character and press enter, fdisk will go off and do what you asked it to.\n\nType: o\n\nThat will clear the partition table so that the disk will become unusable (for the moment). As you can see from the messages, nothing has been committed in stone as yet (very soon). This has modified an in-memory copy of the partition table.\n\nType: p (to verify the above, that there are now no partitions)\n\nType: n (press Enter, this will create a new partition)\n\nType: p (to make it a Primary partition. At this point, I’ll stop saying “Press Enter”, but you still have to!)\n\nType: 1 (to make this partition #1)\n\nAt the next two prompts (First and Last cylinders), just Press Enter to accept the defaults (you are making the entire disk available as the first and only partition).\n\nNow comes the destructive part. This will actually wipe out any data you had on the disk (but still doesn’t modify the PogoPlug in any way!).\n\nType: w (this writes the partition table back out to the disk)\n\nYou are now back at the command line. If you’re a paranoid type (or just careful), you can verify that things worked by repeating the fdisk command and listing out the partition table, all in one shot:\n\n/sbin/fdisk –l\n\nThis is the output on my system:\n\nDevice Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System\n/dev/sda1               1      243201  1953512001  83 Linux\n\n2TB, in one partition, marked for use by a Linux system. Now we need to actually create the filesystem, which in our case will be an ext3 one. This will require downloading some commands that will need to be executed. Here are the steps:\n\nType: sync (to flush any filesystem changes)\n\nType: cd /tmp (to change to a temporary, writable working directory)\n\nType: wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/pogoplug/mke2fs (to retrieve the program mke2fs)\n\nType: chmod 755 mke2fs (to make it executable)\n\nType: ./mke2fs -j /dev/sda1 (the leading dot is critical. This will format the partition to an ext3 filesystem)\n\nThe above command can take quite a while, depending on the size of your external drive. This is the command that failed for me on my first PogoPlug, so I ended up having to detach the drive, connect it to a Linux laptop, perform the same exact command as above (which was already available, I didn’t need the wget part) and then reattach the drive to the PogoPlug.\n\nNote: it failed for me again. I was able to format it using the built-in /sbin/mkfs.ext2 command (passing in the “-j” flag), but I didn’t trust that it was building a true ext3 filesystem (ext2 + journal). So, I disconnected the drive from the PogoPlug, attached it to a VirtualBox VM on my Win7 laptop, and formatted it there as a real ext3. Took forever, but it worked.\n\nWhether the mke2fs command worked for you or whether you had to format the drive separately, like I had to on two separate installations, you’re now ready to install Arch Linux on the external drive. You should already (still) be in /tmp, but to make sure, feel free to type: cd /tmp\n\nType: wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/oxnas/oxnas-install.sh (that retrieves the install script)\n\nType: chmod 755 oxnas-install.sh (this makes the script executable)\n\nType: ./oxnas-install.sh (this starts the script, which will send lots of messages to your terminal window. It also downloads the root filesystem image, which is roughly 129MB, so it can take a while if you don’t have a fast network connection.)\n\nWhen it’s finally done (took between 5-10 minutes on a very high speed connection in the office), the output should look like this if it succeeded (at the very end):\n\n#############################\n## Looks good!\n# Sync …\n# Unmount\n# Reboot to enter into Arch Linux ARM\n\nNote the looks good! and then the instructions to reboot. That’s what we’re going to do next.\n\nType: /sbin/reboot (cross fingers!) \n\nThis will immediately disconnect you from the terminal window you were in. You need to wait a few minutes for the orderly shutdown of the PogoPlug, followed by the booting up of Arch Linux ARM. You can watch the lights on your external drive to see when there is activity on it, indicating that the booting has begun. When the light settles down, the boot is complete.\n\nWe’re ready to log back in (this time to the new operating system), and the password has been changed to a new default one. The user is still root, but now so is the password (root), which you should change right away with the passwd command. It’s quite possible that the IP address of the box has changed during the reboot, so please verify the new (or existing) one, before SSH’ing back on.\n\nIf the IP address did not change, then you might have to remove the old key associated with it, or ssh might refuse to connect, thinking it’s a security violation. If you get the same IP address again, you may need to run the following command first (on your local machine, the one you are SSH’ing from):\n\nType: ssh-keygen -R 192.168.1.123 # (using your device’s IP, which won’t likely be 192.168.1.123)\n\nThe following First Steps page on the Arch Linux ARM Wiki explains the above, and gives you a number of other useful tips. I followed them religiously the first time through, but I changed the order a bit this time around and it saved a bit of typing (or I think it did).\n\nInstead of going through the above, this time I updated all of the packages right away. I believe that it installed openntpd and updated the /etc/rc.conf file (one of the first steps that I performed manually the last time). You can do what I did, then check if openntpd is installed and running.\n\nType: pacman –Scc (clear out old packages. I said YES to the first, and NO to remove unused repositories)\n\nType: pacman –Syu (this will do a large update, first syncing the repositories, then updating all packages)\n\nNow comes a crazy part. I say crazy because by the time you read this, perhaps the maintainers of Arch Linux ARM will have updated the repositories and this will no longer be necessary. Then people will think I’m an idiot, so be it, I’m putting it in here because it can’t hurt!\n\nType: pacman –Sy udev-compat (to fix a problem with udev + syslog-ng taking up 100% of your CPU)\n\nThe 100% cpu problem might be happening as you read this (if you’ve done the previous steps already). It might be filling up your disk in /var/log as well. We can check that in a minute (here’s the thread that helped me: there’s a typo in that thread, “sleep3” should be “sleep 3”), but first, let’s do a few more things and then reboot.\n\nLet’s create a swapfile:\n\nType: dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile.img bs=1M count=1024 #for a 512MB swapfile, use count=512\n\nType: mkswap /swapfile.img (to turn the file we just created into a valid swapfile)\n\nType: swapon /swapfile.img (to see whether you get any errors, you shouldn’t)\n\nNow we’ll edit /etc/rc.local (use your favorite editor, I use “vi”, you might prefer “nano”) to add exactly four lines after the comments:\n\nswapon /swapfile.img\nkill $(pidof udevd)\nsleep 3\nudevd &\n\nThe first line turns the swap on after each reboot. The next three lines kill the bad udev (even after updating the udev-compat the process sometimes misbehaves at boot), then sleeps for three seconds and restarts udev, which makes it seem to behave correctly so far.\n\nOK, time to reboot and see if we have a stable system:\n\nType: sync (flushes the memory to disk)\n\nType: reboot (you should lose your ssh connection right away)\n\nWait until the disk activity settles down a bit, then ssh back in.\n\nType: top (to see what processes are running. If udev and/or syslog-ng are at the top, something isn’t good)\n\nType: q (to exit top, whenever you’re done looking around)\n\nYou can follow any of the additional instructions for setting up a user, adding sudo, changing TimeZone settings, etc. All are linked from the First Steps above.\n\nSince the reason I did this was to install DLNA, I’ll cover that first (it’s really short), then we’ll move on to the heavier CrashPlan setup. Skip the next few lines if you have no interest in DLNA.\n\nType: pacman -Sy minidlna jack (this names two packages, but will install something closer to 44, with dependencies)\n\nYou should edit the file /etc/minidlna.conf and change any variables (where the files are stored, where to store the DB, what you want to call your DLNA server, etc.). You can read the Wiki page (linked above) to see the more important entries.\n\nThen add the word minidlna at the end of the DAEMONS= line, which should be at the bottom of the /etc/rc.conf file. This will auto-start the DLNA server every time the PogoPlug is booted. To start it right now, type: /etc/rc.d/minidlna start\n\nWhew. Finally ready for the very tricky and long installation of CrashPlan. This is not for the faint of heart, nor is it in any way supported by CrashPlan. It works for me (and obviously others), but you’ll have to be the judge as to whether the hassle is worth it for you.\n\nLet’s start with crediting the place that got me unstuck, the CrashPlan support forums! Kudos to CrashPlan for allowing this type of discussion on their forums, even though they don’t support this configuration. Here’s the thread, but all of the interesting bits are in the long comment by Torbjorn. It was really hard for me to find, because I was searching for the word PogoPlug. This solved the problem for Sheeva (the baseline of the Pogo), but it’s not quite identical.\n\nType: pacman –Sy openjdk6 cpio (we need to get a working Java installed and CrashPlan will require the cpio package separately)\n\nThe next step (according to Torbjorn) is to download an ancient (2005) libjtux source package, apply a patch and compile it. He supplies a pointer to the source (amazingly, still available) and the patch file is available as an attachment to his comment. You can grab both from the the thread linked above. If you do, you will likely have to download a bunch of development packages (using pacman), starting with gcc.\n\nInstead, I will attach the completed libjtux.so that I built (following those instructions), to save you time, effort and potential errors. I also just grabbed it from my first build and applied it to my second, for the same reasons.\n\nNow we need to install CrashPlan itself by heading to the download page for Linux. I right-clicked on the download button (currently version 3.0.3, but the software auto-updates after the first install). I copied the link location. Back on the PogoPlug:\n\nType: wget http://download.crashplan.com/installs/linux/install/CrashPlan/CrashPlan_3.0.3_Linux.tgz (that should work, but starting at the http part, just paste in the link you copied if it’s newer than 3.0.3)\n\nType: cd /tmp\n\nType: tar –xzf WHEREVER_YOU_DOWNLOADED_THE_CRASHPLAN_FILE (which could be /tmp to simplify matters)\n\nType: cd CrashPlan-install\n\nType: ./install.sh (all of the defaults seem reasonable to me, though I did put my archives in another directory. You will need to page through the license file with the space bar and accept that as well. The init scripts on Arch are in /etc/rc.d, which is the other thing I changed from the default.)\n\nWhen this is done, it will report that it has successfully started the CrashPlan service. It did not. That’s because we haven’t yet replaced the libjtux.so that comes with CrashPlan. The problem is that it was compiled with an Intel i386 architecture.\n\nType: cd /usr/local/crashplan\n\nType: mv libjtux.so libjtux.so-ORIGINAL (no real need to save it, other than to memorialize the changes we’re making)\n\nType: cp WHERE_YOU_DOWNLOADED/libjtux.so . (this copies my version from wherever you downloaded it, or you can right click my link above, and wget directly from my website to this directory)\n\nTorjborn mentions editing a file to add jna.jar to it. I didn’t need to do that, and the directory he references doesn’t exist. I think it’s from a different installation of Java (for the original Sheeva) and not necessary when using the openjdk6 package.\n\nWe’re ready to start CrashPlan (at least to see if it comes up and stays up). We can do it by hand, but I am going to add it to the DAEMONS list at the end of /etc/rc.conf (like we did with minidlna) and reboot the machine to ensure that it comes up on it’s own. The daemon name to add right after minidlna is crashplan (lower case).\n\nType: /sbin/reboot\n\nIf you did everything above correctly, when you log back in, there should be a java process running, with CrashPlan as the application. It can a few minutes to completely initialize. In that case, we’re done, right? Wrong! CrashPlan is indeed sitting there, waiting to go to work, but it needs to be configured to allow your machine(s) to start backing up to it. Under normal circumstances, this would be trivial to do, but since the PogoPlug is a headless server, we have to jump through a few final hoops.\n\nOnce again, CrashPlan support to the rescue (again, for a completely unsupported feature). If you want to understand the details, or are enough of a techy to prefer the theory, I urge you to just read the CrashPlan document and skip to the final section of this post. If you want fewer steps (and warnings) to follow, I’ll give you the bare necessary steps here.\n\nThey key is that on every machine that has CrashPlan installed, there are two programs: 1) the server that does all the work and 2) the GUI (graphical user interface) that connects to the server when launched, and allows you to configure and monitor the server process. On the PogoPlug, we only have #1. The good news is that the GUI speaks to the server over the network. By default, that network is local to the machine that the server is running on, but with some ssh magic (and a little editing of a configuration file), we can make that a remote connection.\n\nAll of the work is going to be done on your desktop or laptop, where you already (presumably) have CrashPlan running. This is likely the machine that you want to backup to the PogoPlug. Let’s just call it laptop so that it’s obvious it isn’t the PogoPlug.\n\nOn laptop, make sure that the CrashPlan GUI isn’t running. If it is, exit the application. Find the conf directory associated with CrashPlan on your system. On my Windows 7 x64 machine, it’s this directory: “c:\\Program Files\\CrashPlan\\conf”. In that directory is a file called ui.properties. Edit that file. The following line is in that file: “#serviecPort=4243”. This line is commented (#), because 4243 is the default value. You can leave that line commented and add a line below it:\n\nservicePort=4200\n\n(You could also remove the comment and replace 4243 with 4200, but I recommend adding a new line.)\n\nSave the file to disk. While still on laptop, open a terminal window and execute the following SSH command (if you’re using Putty to do this on Windows, rather than cygwin, I recommend reading the post back on the CrashPlan site).\n\nssh -L 4200:localhost:4243 user@192.168.5.71\n\nIn the above command, substitute your username (or root) where I put in “user” and the IP address of your PogoPlug where I put in the “192.168.5.71”. This command makes port 4200 on laptop magically redirect to port 4243 on the PogoPlug, which is where the CrashPlan server is listening by default already.\n\nNow launch the CrashPlan GUI on laptop by double-clicking the icon (on Windows, it’s probably in your system tray). You should see a request to create a new CrashPlan account (free) or log in to an existing one. Since I already have one (and presumably you do too), just put in your email address and password. It took quite a while for it to log in and download the configuration, but it worked. I think when I first tried it on my first PogoPlug it actually timed out, but worked the second time.\n\nOnce that’s done, you can exit the GUI, as all of the defaults are exactly what we want/need. The only exception to that is if you want to let others (that aren’t part of your account) backup to your PogoPlug. Then you will need to write down the CODE to enable that (it’s toward the bottom of the front page on the GUI and also on a Settings tab).\n\nYou can now exit from the ssh session that was started above (Type: exit or hit Ctrl-d in that terminal window).\n\nOnce the GUI is shut down, edit the ui.properties file again and delete the extra line we added with “servicePort=4200” (or place the comment “#” back in front of it). Save the file.\n\nLaunch the GUI again. This time it will connect to the local CrashPlan server on laptop. Now click on Destinations (bottom left entry on the left-hand navigation). Then click on the icon labeled Computers in the center (the PogoPlug is a real computer!). Whatever you called your device should be in your list, no code necessary, since you should have used the same account on both machines. If you didn’t name your device, then Arch Linux ARM defaults your host name to alarm (get it? ArchLinuxARM?).\n\nNow you’re truly done. If you have a large amount to backup, it could take a couple of days to complete the first backup, even though it’s on a LAN. It will also alternate between the various backup locations (including CrashPlan Central), which is one of the reasons it will be somewhat slowed down.\n\nFor reasons I can’t explain, it can take a very long time to start the initial backup, even if you pause the other locations. The GUI correctly communicates with the server instantly, since I can see the correct directory created on the PogoPlug, but the destination still shows up as unavailable for some period of time. Eventually, it gets going, and appears to be quite reliable from that point on.\n","saved":"2011-07-16T14:47:24Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"65c2eec5034ac71f258d964965069fd3","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/039dc1419533/","kind":"page"},

That works out well for \"Dr.\" Bachmann, whose credentials include a Ph.D., the dissertation for which cannot be located (in contrast to the dissertations of people who attend real schools, which are available at libraries) from an online school called Union College. The most obvious hypocrisy is that Dr. Bachmann's \"practice\" received over $150,000 in Medicaid payments last year alone, although as Ag Subsidy Michele can tell you the Bachmann family is no stranger to railing against the federal dole while cashing as many checks from Uncle Sam as possible.\n\nMarcus is but one of many practitioners in the \"reparative therapy\" industry, which has all the medical credibility and supporting evidence of phrenology. Speaking of hypocrisy, I began to wonder why he has such a strong interest in making ex-gays out of young gay men. Then I learned a little more about Marcus Bachmann. Watch this clip from MSNBC, including both the radio comments from Bachmann and video of he and his \"wife\" dancing around on stage:\n\n\n\nOK.\n\nLook. The on-air folks at MSNBC were forced to tiptoe around this for what I can only assume are both legal and ethical reasons. I am not similarly constrained. So, if I may be blunt: if Marcus Bachmann was any more of a queen, he would be on British money. That guy could not be any gayer if he shot rainbows out of his open palms like some kind of Spider Man. I have seen Mardi Gras parades that were not as gay as he is. He contains more DNA samples than the average crime lab.\n\nThis election season is going to be fun after all. I wait with bated breath for the cops, the media, or the average person with a smartphone to catch Marcus behind Gay 90s (if I remember my Twin Cities gay bars correctly) with his pants around his ankles while two \"confused\" teen runaways give him the business. It was nice of him to set up that clinic, though. He must really love Jesus to willingly spend so much time around a constant, ever-changing parade of emotionally fragile young gay men. Praise Him.\n","saved":"2011-07-13T04:58:18Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a306ec1d9e85ee8ec3d6f40d9ccdb357","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f12484a3cfde/","kind":"page"},

Most of us can scan Twitter without obsessing over all that we missed. And there's simply too many blogs to think about all that we haven't read. Unfortunately, email is the one app that we feel guilty about turning off. Why? Cuz the interface is designed to put you on a hamster wheel, rarely ever succeeding at letting you reach empty. You feel accomplished when you get to inbox zero. And then you sleep and it's all back to haunt you.

Part of the updated ToS gives Dropbox a license to use your data in ways critics believe can be interpreted too broadly. The line in question read: \"You grant us (and those we work with to provide the Services) worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable rights to use, copy, distribute, prepare derivative works (such as translations or format conversions) of, perform, or publicly display that stuff to the extent we think it necessary for the Service.\"\n\n\nDespite being a holiday weekend announcement, news of the ToS change spread rapidly and Dropbox quickly updated it yet again to read: \"You grant us (and those we work with to provide the Services) worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable rights to use, copy, distribute, prepare derivative works (such as translations or format conversions) of, perform, or publicly display that stuff to the extent reasonably necessary for the Service. This license is solely to enable us to technically administer, display, and operate the Services.\"\n\n\nBut even this wording could still be cause for concern.\n\nSponsor\n\n\nMuch exaggeration followed the initial announcement as some worried that this meant that Dropbox \"owned\" your content. These worries were probably overblown, especially after the update. However, although the updated version is an improvement, it will probably still be cause for concern for many. In particular, the use of the phrase \"to the extent reasonably necessary.\" Musician and Positron Records owner Chris Randall notes:\n\n\nBut I'll tell you what I'm right about: lawyers are not reasonable people. And the boards of large corporations aren't reasonable people either. And these people make their living exploring the hazy area between the intent of a contract and its actual wording. And they make good livings. And they're way, way better at reading and interpreting that intent than you or I are. Sure, DropBox is run by reasonable people. Now. What about next week when it is purchased by Yahoo. Or Google. Or the marketing company that bought MySpace? \n\nRandall also compares the Dropbox ToS with that of some of its competitors.\n\n\nBox's ToS (Box's emphasis):\n\n\nBy registering to use the Services, you understand and acknowledge that Box.net and its contractors retain an irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, copy, and publicly display such content for the sole purpose of providing to you the Services for which you have registered. In the event that you give Box.net the right to distribute your content, additional terms may apply to Box.net's usage or distribution of this content. You continue to retain all ownership rights in any User Content you provide and shall remain solely responsible for your conduct, your User Content, and any material or information transmitted to other Users for interaction with other Users. Box.net does not claim any ownership rights in any User Content.\n\nSugarSync's ToS (Randall's emphasis):\n\n\nAfter setting up your account and downloading our Software, you can select the Files you want to sync and/or store. You can change the Files you want to sync or store whenever you want. In order to make the Service available to you, we need your permission to sync and store your Files. Accordingly, you hereby grant to SugarSync a license: (i) to use, copy, transmit, distribute, store and cache Files that you choose to sync and/or store; and (ii) to copy, transmit, publish, and distribute to others the Files as you designate, whether through the sharing or public linking features of the Service, in each case solely to provide the Service to you.\n\nBoth are far more specific than even the revised Dropbox statement. Syncplicity on the other hand has a similar ToS:\n\n\nWhile you retain all rights in any Sync Files, by using Site or Services, you hereby grant to Syncplicity a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, perpetual and irrevocable right and license to use and exploit such Sync Files as necessary to provide you with the Services. In addition, you hereby grant all other Syncplicity Users who you invite to access the Sync Files you indicate a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, perpetual and irrevocable right and license to use and exploit such Sync Files. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents and permissions to grant the foregoing licenses to Syncplicity. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Site and Services will comply with our Copyright and IP Policy as set forth in the section below titled \"Copyrighted Materials: No Infringing Use\"\n\nAlso, the revised ToS doesn't address a problem author J. Daniel Sawyer pointed out. The ToS says \"You must ensure you have the rights you need to grant us that permission.\" Sawyer, who emphasizes that he is not a lawyer, writes:\n\n\nIn other words, if you put something you legally bought for your personal, non-infringing use, you've just been made a felon, because Dropbox now requires you to grant them worldwide license (including derivatives!), by uploading a file you didn't author (for a personal backup or so you can have access to it on a business trip, say) you've just granted rights to Dropbox that you don't own. But by uploading it, you're representing that you do have the right to grant those rights, therefore you're committing fraud as well as several sorts of infringement.\n\nDave Winer, who says he deleted his Dropbox account, also criticized the company for making the ToS change right before a holiday weekend. \"Right off the bat that tells you something very bad is happening.\"\n\n\nThis latest fiasco follows Dropbox's recent security failure and the subsequent class-action lawsuit against the company. CRN reports that an authentication bug left all Dropbox user accounts wide open. A lawsuit filed in California alledges that Dropbox failed to properly notify users of the error.\n\nDiscuss\n\n       \n","saved":"2011-07-06T19:05:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"96e4ad626eaa9740678d27ad4f8b4ab3","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/be563050505b/","kind":"page"},

{"id":"8bd4ed5b1a8d","hash":"8bd4ed5b1a8d15a4125d731c4a812623","url":"http://www.insidefacebook.com/2011/06/29/graph-api-explorer-developer-app/","title":"Facebook Launches Graph API Explorer for Testing and Revamps Developer App for Speed","note":"Facebook released significant improvements to its Platform developer toolset this morning with the introduction of the Graph API Explorer and a new version of the Developer app. The Graph API Explorer lets developers make and test API calls and see formatted results in-line, preview extended permissions dialogs, explore connections between objects, and more. The enhanced Developer app allows for quick access to apps, important app info, Getting Started guides, and roles management.\n\nThese changes should make the Facebook Platform more inviting to new developers, while streamlining workflow for veterans, especially those administrating multiple apps.\n\n\n\nGraph API Explorer\nBefore the launch of the Graph API Explorer, it could be a bit difficult for developers to get their bearings in Facebook’s programmatic interface. They could turn to third-party API testing consoles such as Apigee, or sort through documentation and forums, but the Graph API Explorer offers an official, more visually-oriented introduction to building on the Graph API.\n\nWhen developers visit the Graph API Explorer, they’ll first see a GET call for their personal ID. From there they can click links to view an object’s connections, and view detailed descriptions of various fields. The ability to click instead of type to explore connections between objects makes the interface especially easy for new developers.\n\nUser data, friends data, and extended permissions access tokens can be generated to view private data and test APIs, and developers see the same permissions dialog their users would see. Developers can switch between different Graph API URLs and between GET, POST, and DELETE to both experiment and actually make changes. IDs in the formatted results returned by calls can be clicked to quickly navigate to details of that object.\n\n\n\nThe Explorer can’t currently be used to create or test with designated test users, but Facebook may add some of this functionality in the future. In the comments of the announcement blog post, Facebook’s Namita Gupta explains that photo uploading also can’t be tested with the Graph API Explorer as there is “no way to support multipart/form-data in the parameters but we are working on this.” Overall, though, the developer response to the tool has been positive so far.\n\nThe Graph API Explorer could help increase self-reliance amongst Platform developers by allowing them to more easily test their way through than seek help from their peers. This could also reduce the incidence support requests to Facebook’s Platform team and erroneous bug reports. The ability to share a permalink to one’s current view of the Graph API Explorer, as one can from Apigee’s console, could make the development process more social by letting developers show their problems to others and receive advice.\n\nStreamlined Developer App\nThe design of the Developer app, which allows developers to create new apps and manage settings of their existing ones, has stayed mostly stable since 2009. As Facebook app development became more of a business with developers controlling multiple apps and needing to manage large teams with various roles, the original decline became clunky. It also didn’t properly serve as a portal to documentation that could help new developers.\n\n\n\nThe redesigned Developer app begins a full roll out today starting with a limited set of developers. Its dashboard displays one’s most recently viewed apps, and developers can search using a typeahead to go directly to a desired app. Selecting an apps brings up important information about it including its app ID, app secret, and various URLs. Facebook also says that it has ”reorganized the sections within the Developer App to reduce redundant fields.”\n\nGetting Started guides to apps on Facebook, mobile, and websites can be accessed from a navigation menu. Facebook has simplified the process of assigning and managing administrator, developer, tester, and Insights user roles. Speed has also been increased and workflow improved by “eliminating inefficient operations and data fetches.”\n\nWhile none of this functionality is actually new, the condensed architecture of the app should promote faster navigation, allowing developers to focus on building their apps rather than the process of managing their settings. The release of these new developer tools should serve to improve Facebook’s standing with the developer community. This is especially convenient considering the recent complaints of unfair treatment by some developers whose apps were suddenly disabled last week when Facebook modified its auto-enforcement system to be more aggressive.\n\n","saved":"2011-06-29T19:00:29Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"5d9b27c7cc895672d94fc8028e27aee9","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8bd4ed5b1a8d/","kind":"page"},

Then I would set the next action to be due tomorrow, and the next in two days, etc. What I found was that I perpetually had a little red badge on the app icon telling me how much I still hadnt done. I began to resent the badge. No matter how many tasks I completed, it would always come back again because there was always more to be done tomorrow.

They may be right, though you can write any program in any complete programming language, including awful things like BASIC. What makes a language useful is some combination of the language's expressiveness and the libraries and tools available. JavaScript clearly passed the expressiveness barrier a long time ago, even if the ceremony required for creating objects is distasteful. But recently, we've seen some extremely important game-changers: jQuery, JSON, Node.js, and HTML5. JavaScript may have been a perfectly adequate language in the past, but these changes (and a few others that I'll point out) have made JavaScript a language that is essential for every developer to know. If there's one language you need to learn in the next year, it's JavaScript.","saved":"2011-06-10T11:59:10Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"78a8e23461b810ddc9fe961ae267d586","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9062c1067ae6/","kind":"page"},

In contrast, Apple billed 10.6 Snow Leopard as containing largely under-the-hood changes meant to improve performance and provide a more coherent foundation for future development.","saved":"2011-06-09T22:59:52Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3943bceac1ca7c26211106aa428e2597","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d7ae51f40708/","kind":"page"},

There have been controversies in the past year about media organizations using photos posted on TwitPic and not giving proper attribution or compensation to the original photographer. \n\n\nTwitPic's new terms of service should clear up that confusion. In it TwitPic explicitly states that content uploaded by a user is the copyright of the respective owner. It is not part of the public domain and is subject to how the user, not media organizations, chooses to have it disseminated. \n\nSponsor\n\n\nCopyright law tells us that when ever somebody creates something, be it a short story, a piece of music or a photo essay, as soon as it is created the person who made it is the de facto copyright holder. That is unless the person has given explicit to a different party to be the copyright holder of anything that person creates.\n\n\n\"To clarify our ToS regarding ownership, you the user retain all copyrights to your photos and videos, it's your content,\" Noah Everett, founder of TwitPic, wrote on the company's blog. \"Our terms state by uploading content to Twitpic you allow us to distribute that content on twitpic.com and our affiliated partners. This is standard among most user-generated content sites (including Twitter). If you delete a photo or video from Twitpic, that content is no longer viewable.\"\n\n\nTwitPic users have fought back against the media. One photographer, Emily James of Just Do it, went so far as to invoice The Daily Mail in the United Kingdom 1,170 (British pounds, around $1,900 America dollars by today's exchange rate) for photos that it had used of a polling station during the British General Election.\n\n\nNew media copyright is a Wild West of usage and rules. Generally, copyright and Creative Commons are the rules for using photos taken off the Internet and social media. That does not stop thousands of blogs from using whatever photos they want and getting away with it. The difference between small blogs and big media, though, is that mainstream publications stand to make money off the photos they attach to their content.\n\n\nThe rule is simple. If you create it, you own the copyright. Media organizations have to give attribution and/or compensation to the producer if they use that content.\n\nDiscuss","saved":"2011-05-10T22:30:07Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"8a77201ce9e477d9dbef91b009dade71","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5c09ed7e19ee/","kind":"page"},

This initial expansion is intended to further assess both the tool’s value and its performance characteristics, with an eye to a full deployment on Wikipedia and potentially other projects.\n\nSome examples of articles that currently feature the tool (at bottom):\n\n\nUnited States Constitution\nIsraeli cuisine\nGFAJ-1\n\nThe intent of the tool is two-fold:\n\n\nto gain aggregate quality assessments of Wikimedia content by readers and editors;\nto use as an entry vector for other forms of engagement.\n\nTo assess its value in both categories, we’ve already undertaken a significant amount of qualitative and quantitative research. You can read an extensive summary of our work so far here.\n\nThe high level summary based on the data we’ve seen so far: We believe user ratings can be a valuable way to predict high and low quality content in Wikimedia, and we’re especially interested in engaging raters beyond the initial act of assessing an article. Through our trials to date, we’ve seen very good conversion rates on the calls-to-action that follow a rating, suggesting that this could be a powerful engagement tool as well.\n\nBeyond continuing our own research and these engagement experiments, our goal is to regularly make available anonymized data from the tool, and to supply editors with a dashboard tool for surfacing trends in the rating data. We’re looking forward to sharing wider findings from the use of the tool soon.\n\nPlease use the talk page or comment below for feedback, questions and suggestions.\n\nErik Moeller\nDeputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation\n","saved":"2011-05-10T00:02:17Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"874d7835a1fb145022fc3dc650549628","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/dd48430ad8b5/","kind":"page"},

This essay explains why the progressive locking of wireless networks is harmful — for convenience, for privacy and for efficient use of the electromagnetic spectrum.\n\nWe will need a political and technological \"Open Wireless Movement\" to reverse the degradation of this indispensable component of the Internet's infrastructure.  Part of the task will simply be reminding people that opening their WiFi is the socially responsible thing to do, and explaining that individuals who choose to do so can enjoy the same legal protections against liability as any other Internet access provider.1   Individuals, including Bruce Schneier and Cory Doctorow, have laid some of the groundwork.  It's time to spead the message far and wide.\n\nBut an Open Wireless Movement will also need to do technical work: we need to build new technologies to ensure that people have an easy way to share a portion of their bandwidth without affecting the performance of their own network connections while at the same time ensuring that there is absolutely no privacy downside to running an open wireless network.\n\nThe wireless world we ought to live in\nMost of us have had the experience of tremendous inconvenience because of a lack of Internet access.  Being lost in a strange place with no way to find a map; having an urgent email to send with no way to do so; trying to meet a friend with no way to contact them.  Even if we have data plans for our mobile phones, we've probably had these experience in cities or countries where our phones don't have coverage or don't have coverage for less-than-extortionate prices.  We may even experience this problem at home, when our Internet connection dies while we urgently need to use it.  \n\nFinding yourself in one of these binds is a bit like finding yourself parched and thirsty while everyone around you is sipping from nice tall glasses of iced water, or finding yourself cold and drenched in a rain storm because nobody will let you under their umbrella.  At those moments when you are lost, or missing a deadline, or failing to meet your friend, it is almost always true that Internet data links are traveling through your body in the form of electromagnetic wireless signals — it's just that people have chosen to lock those networks so that you can't make use of them.\n\nA tragedy of the commons\nWhen people turn on WEP or WPA encryption for their networks deliberately, there are two common reasons: a desire to prevent their neighbors from \"free riding\" on their connections; and a fear that unencrypted WiFi is a security or privacy risk.  Both of those reasons have a degree of legitimacy, but neither of them changes the fact that we would be better off if there were more open networks.  Also, both of these problems could be solved without password locking our networks.  What we need, instead, is to develop and deploy better WiFi protocols.\n\nLet's focus on the first issue for a moment: traffic prioritization.\n\nMany people would like to have the fastest network connection possible, and for that reason are reluctant to let their neighbors share their link.  After all, if your neighbor is streaming music or watching YouTube videos on your WiFi, that's going to slow your traffic down a bit!  But those same people would probably be willing to give up some bandwidth at home from time to time, in exchange for having free open wireless everywhere else.  In other words, we'd all be better off if we all left our WiFi open, but we each benefit slightly if we close our WiFi.  Our failure to work together prevents us from enjoying better, more widespread Internet access.\n\nThe best solution to this problem is to have WiFi routers which make it very easy to share a certain amount of bandwidth via an open network, but simultaneously provide an encrypted WPA2 network that gets priority over the open network.  Some modern routers already support multiple networks like this, but we need a very simple, single-click or default setting to get the prioritization right.\n\nSecuring the Future for Open WiFi\nIf the problem of open WiFi was just about convincing people to share their connections, we'd be in a better situation.  Enough people understand the importance of sharing that we'd have open networks more or less everywhere.\n\nThe problem that's really killing open WiFi is the idea that an unlocked network is a security and privacy risk.\n\nThis idea is only partially true.  Computer security experts will argue at great length about whether WEP, WPA and WPA2 actually provide security, or just a false sense of security.  Both sides are partially correct: none of these protocols will make anyone safe from hacking or malware (WEP is of course trivial to break, and WPA2 is often easy to break in practice), but it's also true that even a broken cryptosystem increases the effort that someone nearby has to go to in order to eavesdrop, and may therefore sometimes prevent eavesdropping.\n\nIt doesn't really matter that WiFi encryption is a poor defense against eavesdropping: most computer users only understand the simple message that having encryption is good, so they encrypt their network.  The real problem isn't that people are encrypting their WiFi: it's that the encryption prevents them from sharing their WiFi with their friends, neighbours, and strangers wandering past their houses who happen to be lost and in need of a digital map.\n\nWe need WiFi that is open and encrypted at the same time!\nInsofar as there is some privacy (and psychological) benefit to using an encrypted WiFi network, there's actually no reason why users of open wifi shouldn't get those benefits too!\n\nThere is currently no WiFi protocol that allows anybody to join the network, while using link-layer encryption to prevent each network member from eavesdropping on the others.  But such a protocol should exist.  There are some technical details to work through, but they are manageable.2\n\nIn fact, this proposed protocol offers some privacy/security benefits not available in shared-passphrase WPA2, which is the strongest  easy-to-deploy WiFi encryption system.  Under WPA2 all the users on the network can calculate each others' session keys and eavesdrop on each other.  With our suggested design, that would cease to be possible.\n\nThe Unintuitive Benefits of Open Wireless\nSince 1994, the United States government has auctioned off huge portions of the electromagnetic spectrum to telecommunications companies.  WiFi operates in tiny scraps of spectrum that were left over from the auctions.  Similar processes have occurred in many other countries.\n\nBut WiFi networks (especially modern 802.11N networks) turn out to make inherently much more efficient use of spectrum than systems of widely spaced cell phone towers.  This results from a property of wireless protocols called area spectral efficiency: basically, if your data only has to travel to a nearby router, the same frequency range can be used for someone else's data around the corner or across the street.  In contrast, if your data needs to travel all the way to a cell tower, nobody else in between can use that same portion of spectrum.\n\nIf we want a future where anyone can watch high definition movies or make video calls from anywhere without wires, what we need is short-range networks with routers everywhere — like the one we'd have if everyone opened their WiFi.\n\nWhat Needs to be Done\nEFF will be working with other organizations to launch an Open Wireless Movement in the near future.   In the mean time, we're keen to hear from technologists with wireless expertise who would like to help us work on the protocol engineering tasks that are needed to make network sharing easier from a privacy and bandwidth-sharing perspective.  You can write to us at openwireless@eff.org.\n\n\n1. If you run an open wireless network, you may be able to receive significant legal protection from Section 230 of the CDA (against civil and state criminal liability for what others publish through the service) and Section 512 of the DMCA (against copyright claims based on what others use the service for).  While these protections are not complete, EFF regularly engages in impact litigation to help ensure that these laws offer as strong protection to network operators as possible.\n2. That kind of wireless network could use asymmetric cryptography to generate secret session keys for each user.  The main challenge with this design is how to prevent man in the middle attacks.  Wireless routers do not have canonical names, so they cannot be issued certificates in the same way that, say, TLS encrypted websites are.  A feasible alternative is the trust-on-first-use design employed by SSH: the first time you connect to a wireless network, you might have to assume that the router's key is correct, but you will be notified if ever changes (which would mean that there is a new router, or the beginning or end of a man-in-the-middle attack).  If you can actually see the router, you don't have to assume that the key is correct because you can check it against a number on the box itself.  For other users, the security could be improved by using GPS, or some other means of remembering not only the keys of each router but also whether it was expected to be present in a given location\n","saved":"2011-04-28T22:08:30Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"9aba68143395db6c1760c47403ccfb66","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/99a739f9262c/","kind":"page"},

There will also be open rooms for planning ad-hoc sessions,     breakout discussions, gaming, or hack fests. “Presenting at MinneBar is one of the best ways to demonstrate knowledge about a particular subject and to connect with other locals who have similar interests.  MinneBar isn’t a typical conference — it’s very discussion oriented and  collaborative, so be prepared to give to get and share what you know.”\"\n\nStay tuned for details on an “off the hook” MinneBar pre-party Friday night May 6th at a TBD location for a slightly more informal way to meet and greet with event participants in advance.\n\nMinne* is in the midst of re-organizing itself as a nonprofit and individual community supporters can show their appreciation one way or the other for the necessary hard work that goes into making it happen — event after event, year after year.   Code42, 8thBridge, ipHouse and Split Rock Partners are on board to sponsor thus far.\n\n","saved":"2011-04-23T20:53:42Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e0b0bd272a79e224c7d39c2249c5b88a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a9232b3f8d5d/","kind":"page"},

The domain belongs to the “privacy entity” listed in the record.\n\n\n\nWikipedia confirms:\n\n\n\n  In a trademark infringement case, a 2009 United States District Court ruling in U.S.A. held that, for domains with “private registration”, the privacy service is legally the “owner” of the domain. The privacy service acts as the “cyber-landlord of the Internet real estate”, and the domain is “licensed” to the customer of the privacy service.\n\n\n\nPutting fake info in a whois record also causes legal-ownership issues (plus violations of terms). So the most responsible option is to put real information in and tolerate the spam and stalking.\n\n\nIt might be time to get a P.O. box and a Google Voice number.\n\n\n\n∞ Permalink\n","saved":"2011-04-16T16:34:45Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"eed8bc12dc2ce060b60fca4f02e5bfd3","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/250e54c45a00/","kind":"page"},

I am sure there’s lots more work to\ndo.\n\nWhat Blaine Said\nHis piece makes three arguments:\n\n\nNow we have wide variety in the pixel density on the screens we use,\nextra work is required to come up with density-independent designs.\n\nRight-justified text should be used because “Ragged right is an\nabomination”.\n\nHyphenation, which has long been used in conjunction with right\njustification, is now easily achievable with good-quality results.\n\n\nLet’s take up Blaine’s points in reverse order.\n\nHyphenation\nIn this case I agree 100%.\nHyphenator.js is trivial to\ninstall and seems to Just Work; as I consider its results, I have seen very\nlittle so far that offends my eye.  Also, the architecture is pleasing;\nit makes perfect sense to run this sort of publishing busywork on the\nWeb’s billions of underworked client systems, rather than on its millions of\noften-overworked servers.\n\nBut there are a few little issues. \nThe software works by peppering the text with soft-hyphen characters in all\nthe places where you might want to break words, and then leaves the work\nof doing the hyphenation to the browser.\n\nThis character is Unicode U+00AD SOFT HYPHEN. Hyphenator.js wants to use the\nHTML escape &shy;, which caused problems with my XML-based\npublishing system that doesn’t know HTML escapes.  I was going to use\n&#xad; but then realized that JavaScript literals are\nsupposed to be UTF-8, so I put the literal character right there in the\nJavaScript source and that works fine.\n\nNext, you have to consider the effect of having all those invisible\nsoft-hyphens littering your deathless prose.  Hyphenate.js does some magic\nthat means when you copy text out of the browser, the soft-hyphens don’t come\nwith it.\n\nAlso, consider the effect on in-browser search.  Type Command-F or\nControl-F and search for “architecture”.  Firefox or Chrome can find it, but\nSafari can’t.  I suspect that this one should be easy to crush once it comes\nto Apple’s attention.\n\nOf course, the only reason to hyphenate is to make justification work\nbetter.  In the publishing-tech community where I spent years of my\nprofessional life, we used to just say “H&J”.\n\nJustification\nNothing to it; insert\ntext-align: justify; appropriately in your CSS and there you go.  I\ndo notice some subtle but obvious-to-the-eye differences in the justification\nalgorithm from one browser to another.  The ragged-right “abomination” is\nhistory.\n \nBut I’m wondering whether it really was that bad.  I’m aware that there’s\nresearch out there studying the effect of various techniques including\nkerning and leading and H&J.  But I couldn’t find it just now.\n\nPersonally, I like justification more and more as the columns get narrower\nand narrower; in book-length lines, I find ragged right to be sort of\nappealing.  On the other hand, in actual real books designed by actual real\nprofessional book designers, justification is pretty universal.\n\nI seem also to remember that narrow columns, in the style of\nnewspapers, were found more readable.  But then why are book-length texts not\nformatted that way?  I’m sure that somewhere on the Web there’s a high-quality\nprofessional introduction to these issues.  On balance, I like the way that \nongoing looks all squared-up.  But that may not last.\n\nOn Lines\nWhich leads to Blaine’s first point, about density-independence and line\nlengths. He posted nice clever code that does \ncalculations with the goal of arranging that each line has more or less the\nsame number of characters; then you get to have an amusing argument what the\nright number is.\n\nThis code doesn’t just drop in; it needs to hook into\nyour page layout at just the right places. So it took a\nbit of quality Firebug time to get it running.\n\nThen I took it out again.  The layout here at ongoing is “liquid”, meaning it grows or\nshrinks, within reason, should the browser be resized.  I found the effect\noverly twitchy and, the more I thought about it, the more I didn’t believe\nthat number-of-characters-per-line is the right invariant.\n\nWhen we routinely use displays whose dots-per-inch vary from \nunder 100 to over 300, it\nseems reasonable to worry about resolution-independence in your type\ndesign.\n\nBut maybe not.  I think I smell an abstraction leaking.\nWhen I say font-size: 0.95em;, I’m thinking that it’d be better\nif I left it to the browser to figure out how many pixels make up the best \n“em”, bearing in mind the physics of the display.\n\nHaving said all that, I widened the center-content area on the blog here,\nand increased the size to that 0.95em quoted above.  The effect, I think, is\nmore book than newspaper, which feels right to me.\n\nStill To Do\nI set up the basic CSS layout of this page between 2003 and 2006, stealing\nmostly from\nEric Meyer.  It was bleeding-edge then but is kinda mouldy and\nold-fashioned now, and doesn’t handle really wide browser windows nearly as well\nas I’d like.  So I’ll have to fix that.\n\nAnd then there’s fun part: fonts!  I’ve been offering readers the\nchoice of\nGeorgia and\nVerdana for a long time.\nThose were probably sensible options back in 2003. But\nthat was then, this is now. I’ve been following\nthe Typekit blog and glancing at\nGoogle Web Fonts and licking my\nlips a bit.\n\nAlso, I’m increasingly loathing Georgia’s italics.\n\nIt looks like it’ll be straightforward to shift the fonts in\nthis space.\nThat’s after I’ve picked new typefaces; a prospect that, frankly,\nintimidates me.  I’m not even sure how to start thinking about it, but I’m\npretty sure that I’ll have fun once I do.\n\nBy the way, I shifted this in over a day ago and mostly nobody noticed.\nWhich is a good thing.  Oh, and thanks to Blaine!\n\n","saved":"2011-04-01T19:00:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a3ee91647580b943ff00b79c24cfd3e2","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/91a534a72394/","kind":"page"},

Drizzle is designed for multicore environments and cloud applications. Unlike NoSQL databases, Drizzle still uses structure queried language. Instead, it attempts to improve performance by cutting the database server down to its core.\n\nSponsor\n\n\nThe project was started by Sun employees in 2008, and Rackspace hired the team to work on Drizzle full time in Adrian Otto:\n\n\nDrizzle dispenses with views, triggers, prepared statements, and much more. Instead additional features can be added via plugins. Drizzle makes no attempt at backwards compatibility with legacy systems such as 32-bit environments. Here's a partial list of what Drizzle has kept or dispensed with, from a post by tk on the Rackspace blog:\n\n\n1 - Micro-Kernel Design, with modular interfaces to plug in features and functions without touching the core code. API's for Replication, Storage Engines, Logging,  Authentication, Client Protocols, etc.\n2 - No triggers or stored procedures. That stuff is bloat as done in MySQL, and Drizzle has other ways to deal with these needs. These capabilities can be added in later as needed such that they are done right.\n3 - Only UTF8 support, not a multitude of language encodings and collations. Keep it simple. This is the web.\n4 - Way Less Source Code, where MySQL has well over a million lines of code, Drizzle is just under 300K lines.\n5 - Drizzle Client Protocol, that's pluggable and Asynchronous capable with built-in sharding support and built-in checksum support and BSD license so you can package it in commercial software with no license drama.\n6 - Default Storage Engine is InnoDB, for ACID compliance but others can still be used. MyISAM is gone. Long live the Queen!\n7 - Pluggable AAA, so integrating with your LDAP user database through PAM is simple as pie, if if you don't want any auth (think memcached) just don't load the plugin, and get a nice performance boost.\n8 - Replication will be everything you ever wanted in a replication system. You hate MySQL replication? You now love Drizzle.\n9 - Logging is pluggable so you can log to Syslog, a query analyzer, Gearman, or whatever you want to plug in.\n10 - Query Rewriting is supported. If you have a misbehaving application, you can fix it at the database if desired.\n11 - The Data Dictionary is redone so that no internal tables materialize, and there is only a single code execution path. This means all your base run faster.\n12 - FRM Files are Gone. Yep, ever been snagged by the contents of an FRM file not matching what's in the database? Cry no more.\n13 - The MySQL Client Protocol is supported so you can use Drizzle with most applications without modification.\n14 - It's Easy to Build from Source. Ever tried to compile MySQL from source. Hah! Yeah, drizzle builds like butter.\n\nWe covered Drizzle in our look at non-relational databases back in 2009.\n\nDiscuss","saved":"2011-03-18T12:07:01Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"8905ea049c5c30b6c04d73d9e734e479","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6d8d0c5a04fe/","kind":"page"},

Google removed the applications from the market but offered no public comment about the issue, and so questions remained about what would happen to the 50,000 some-odd apps that had already been downloaded.   On Saturday evening, Google announced that it had initiated the \"remote application removal feature,\" that allowed it to wipe the malicious apps from infected Android devices without any additional action on the part of users.  Sponsor   Google also said that it would be pushing an Android Market security update out to those devices that would prevent attackers from accessing any more information via the exploit.  Google said those users would get an email update as well as a notification on their phones that \"Android Market Security Tool March 2011\" had been installed.   According to Google, the malicious applications only impacted those phones running version 2.2.1 and lower.  However, that's still the majority of Android devices, and this episode is another testament to the continuing fragmentation of the Android market.  Google says it's \"working with our partners to provide the fix for the underlying security issues,\" so the fix is now in the hands of carriers to roll out.   But this latest security issue isn't simply a matter of fragmentation; it's a matter of malicious apps appearing in the Android Market in the first place.  Google says that it is \"adding a number of measures to help prevent additional malicious applications using similar exploits from being distributed through Android Market,\" but it doesn't specify what those steps will be.     While this may be the first time Google has had to invoke the remote \"kill switch,\" it isn't the first time it's had to yank malicious apps from the Android Market.  Is Google doing enough to keep users safe?  And what can be done to address the carriers' role in security?

Past failures of enterprise technology to live up to its promises and IT's lack of agility caused by legacy technology have decreased the influence of the CIO, explained R \"Ray\" Wang in a piece for Forbes last year.\n\n\nNow in a new paper he has written for his own firm, Wang is exploring the future of the role that the CIO plays.  He comes to the table with considerable insights. Wang is a global traveler who meets with CIOs on a constant basis in his role as principal analyst and CEO of Constellation Research, an independent firm with a key focus on the transitions the enterprise is experiencing.\n\nSponsor\n\n\nIn the report, he proposes four new types of CIO: Chief \"Infrastructure\" Officers, Chief \"Integration\" Officers, Chief \"Intelligence\" Officers, and Chief \"Innovation\" Officers.\n\n\n\"The top CIOs will seek mastery of all four personas,\" Wang writes. \"Others will bring expertise within the four personas into the team.\"\n\n\nChief Infrastructure Officers\n\nInfrastructure officers will do much of what is expected of modern CIOs: reduce infrastructure costs, manage legacy technology and ensure smooth IT operations. Top priorities for infrastructure officers will include eliminating \"shelfware,\" adopting virtualization and cloud technologies, and renegotiating contracts.\n\n\nChief Integration Officers\n\nAnother term for this might be \"Chief Connection Officer.\" The integration officer will connect various IT systems. One important task will be bridging legacy and cloud services. \n\n\nChief Intelligence Officers\n\nWe don't need to tell you that data is the future. The intelligence officer will be tasked with getting the right data to the right people on the right devices. Their top priorities will be establishing and measuring key performance indicators, improving data quality and choosing the right business intelligence and analysis tools.\n\n\nChief Innovation Officers\n\nWe've seen this title thrown around a lot over the past few years. A few months ago, Business Week did a piece on this role. According the article, AMD, Citigroup, Coca Cola, DuPont, Humana and Owens Corning all have chief innovation officers.\n\n\nAccording to the Constellation report, innovation officers will focus on identifying disruptive technologies and finding ways to apply them in the enterprise. \n\n\nWhat do you think?\n\nDoes this seem like a reasonable forecast to you? Where do you see yourself fitting into this framework?\n\n\nIf you want to read more, check out Wang's article for the Harvard Business Review.\n\nDiscuss","saved":"2011-03-04T01:15:09Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"308ffd9db3d4f377bc19091445bb746b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/081db221527a/","kind":"page"},

To better meet each entity’s needs, we introduced the Preferred Developer Consultant (PDC) program in December 2009 to connect companies and brands to the resources they need to build with Facebook products and technologies.\n\n\n\n\nSince we last added to the PDC program, the demand for branded Facebook applications and enterprise software has risen to touch tens of thousands of businesses and hundreds of millions of people. Many Fortune 500 companies have used a PDC in their online media campaigns, and social content and relationship management products built by PDCs are making waves in the enterprise software space.\n\n\n\n\nPDCs have shown strength in niche markets as well. From branded calendars to sponsored games, PDCs are finding ways to bring social innovation to businesses the world over. \n\n\n\n\nInside the program, Facebook has continued to provide best practices and product guidance to PDCs, while simultaneously using feedback from the group to direct product changes like the recently released iFrame tabs and geo-targeting Page APIs.\n\n\n\n\nWhat separates a PDC from most other digital development firms is the ability to understand social mechanics and technical possibilities on Platform. While inclusion of a developer in the program does not constitute an assurance by Facebook, we love to see companies delivering excellent social experiences to people while also giving brands a deeper understanding of how social referrals and interaction can drive their top lines.\n\n\n\n\nToday, we’re pleased to announce the addition of 17 companies to the PDC program; see the full list of Facebook Preferred Developer Consultants.\n\n\n\n\nWe’re also now accepting submissions for the next round of PDCs. Submissions for this round will be open through the month of March. If you'd like to join the program, you can submit your company for review with our PDC submission form. Please also note our expectations and criteria for accepting PDCs. Finally, with this new round of applications, we're deprecating prefdevconsultant@fb.com; anyone who has submitted their interest there will be invited to submit an official application soon.\n\n\n\n\nMatt looks forward to seeing what the PDCs will come up with next.\n\n","saved":"2011-02-28T10:25:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"0c92a47b33e04f5cf2a377b831e42080","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1a47dec91bb7/","kind":"page"},

Huh? Wha-? We're obviously not getting the whole story from either side, but it's clear Twitter had had enough of UberMedia's creative interpretation of its TOS to take a dramatic action to make its point.  Sponsor   Guest author Jeff Pester is the founder of Text Capital, a startup working on custom content delivery solutions for the social Web. He is also co-founder of ThinkInfluence, a group formed to explore the emergence and increasing impact of online influence. He is also the creator and curator of @SocialMedia411 on TwitterThe blogosphere is preoccupied with the notion that this is proof that Twitter is at war with the developer ecosystem and that it's somehow manipulating the playing field to favor its own homegrown apps.    But that discussion misses the larger point: Companies like UberMedia are attempting to profit directly at the presentation and consumption end of the stream infrastructure that Twitter has bought and paid for. In my opinion, UberMedia has the right to monetize \"consumption environments\" (its apps) that add value to end users. At the same time, Twitter deserves to be compensated for the utility it's providing to UberMedia.    The only issue here should be: Who gets paid and how much?   Twitter is at an important inflection point. It needs to come out and clearly articulate its position on attempts by outside parties to monetize the stream(s) built on top of its infrastructure.    My personal opinion is that Twitter should construct a model whereby commercial \"rebroadcast\" companies like UberMedia can choose to monetize streams delivered on their platform(s) however they want, but they must compensate Twitter on some type of metered basis (API calls or other) for providing the underlying infrastructure that gives UberMedia the opportunity to monetize on Twitter's back in the first place.   At the end of the day Twitter is an information utility - it's admitted as much on several occasions. It should start acting and pricing its product like one. If not, we can expect more of these types of altercations going forward.

We've heard the question so many times, usually asked by American media, whose agendas we are intimately familiar with. My answer, on reflection, is yes, I think he has one, and he has said what it is. And it's not what the big media people insinuate that it is, although that's not usually made very clear. If they think he has an inappropriate agenda, perhaps they should say specifically what they think it is, and back it up. \n\nIn this Sunday's interview on 60 Minutes, Steve Kroft asked if he is an activist. Assange said: \"We are free press activists. It's not about saving the whales. It's about giving people the information they need to support whaling or not support whaling. Why? That is the raw ingredients that is needed to make a just and civil society. And without that you're just sailing in the dark.\"\n\nThat's a pretty good explanation of what journalism is about, imho. It's what I look for in journalism, and where I have expertise, it's what I strive for as well. And so often it's the problem with what American journalists do, they raise questions and then try to answer them with vital information missing. \"Sailing in the dark,\" that's most of what we do, unfortunately.\n\nIn a four-part documentary that we included here on Scripting News, Assange said clearly that he wants to expose the truth about the war in Iraq. American news has not done a very good job of this, yet we have had to make huge decisions that determine the outcome of countries and the world's economy, without the information we need. It's also clear that Assange has helped. It's a pretty good agenda, imho. In the same interview he said he hoped that leaders would be more careful about what they do in the future, and that they would if they were sure that it would eventually come out. I think even a radical right-winger like Rush Limbaugh could get behind that. The problem is a lot of our media leaders aren't comfortable with this idea, apparently.\n\nAnother question that comes up is whether the release of WikiLeaks documents could be responsible for the deaths of innocent people. This is a question that must be asked of all news organizations, not just WikiLeaks. You can't avoid it. A responsible journalist tries to minimize the harm that comes from the publication of information, but it's not his or her responsiblity. A journalist's responsibility is to an informed readership. If that's not where their focus is, then they're in the wrong business. \n\nHowever, this is what made my chin drop listening to Bill Keller on Fresh Air early this week. He responded to this question about Assange, without answering it himself. That's a big problem. (Terry Gross, his interviewer, should have answered it as well.)\n\nAnyway, of course everyone has an agenda. Mine is to take another breath, and for my heart to keep beating. I have causes I believe in, and I like to live well, in comfort. That doesn't mean I can't do good work and have principles that I stand for. \n\nOverall, it's an embarassment the way American journalists conduct themselves re Assange and WikiLeaks. We can easily see the contradictions and faked naivete in their questions. They must not care that we see it. Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes apparently doesn't understand how journalism works, because every question he asked of Assange called for a basic tutorial on American civics.  Bill Keller would have us believe that you can practice journalism without taking risks, or that you can be a human being without offending some people. Please, can we stick to what's important. In the case of Assange, his socks, believe it or not, are an issue -- according to Keller. He doesn't like his socks. Help. Someone tell Keller that even a child can see through this. \n\nThe reason I write this now is that tomorrow evening I am supposed to see Keller tell this story -- and I don't know how I will be able to sit for it. Maybe by writing it in advance, it will somehow make its way to his desk, or to the desk of his interviewer, and he can address tomorrow's audience with a bit more respect than he did to the listeners of Fresh Air, or the readers of the NY Times Magazine. (I linked to the print version of the Times article because I found the graphic portrayal of Assange so offensive. I wonder if the Times would run a picture of Keller that was so defaced.)\n\nFinally, i's not so much the way he treats Assange that I find offensive -- Assange is, amazingly, able to sit still and not show outrage at the childishness and hypocrisy of the insinuations. It's the way these people treat their audiences. It's as if we are uneducated and unintelligent. I remember a time when both 60 Minutes and the Times had too much dignity for that. Let's go back there, okay?\n","saved":"2011-02-02T20:54:52Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"dc4703245fae423edbd4776b508071d2","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/13d4240191bd/","kind":"page"},

{"id":"85c363b299af","hash":"85c363b299af55f2c15be82dff17464e","url":"http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/microsofts-bing-uses-google-search.html","title":"Microsoft’s Bing uses Google search results—and denies it","note":"By now, you may have read Danny Sullivan’s recent post: “Google: Bing is Cheating, Copying Our Search Results” and heard Microsoft’s response, “We do not copy Google's results.” However you define copying, the bottom line is, these Bing results came directly from Google.I’d like to give you some background and details of our experiments that lead us to understand just how Bing is using Google web search results.It all started with tarsorrhaphy. Really. As it happens, tarsorrhaphy is a rare surgical procedure on eyelids. And in the summer of 2010, we were looking at the search results for an unusual misspelled query [torsorophy]. Google returned the correct spelling—tarsorrhaphy—along with results for the corrected query. At that time, Bing had no results for the misspelling. Later in the summer, Bing started returning our first result to their users without offering the spell correction (see screenshots below). This was very strange. How could they return our first result to their users without the correct spelling? Had they known the correct spelling, they could have returned several more relevant results for the corrected query.This example opened our eyes, and over the next few months we noticed that URLs from Google search results would later appear in Bing with increasing frequency for all kinds of queries: popular queries, rare or unusual queries and misspelled queries. Even search results that we would consider mistakes of our algorithms started showing up on Bing.We couldn’t shake the feeling that something was going on, and our suspicions became much stronger in late October 2010 when we noticed a significant increase in how often Google’s top search result appeared at the top of Bing’s ranking for a variety of queries. This statistical pattern was too striking to ignore. To test our hypothesis, we needed an experiment to determine whether Microsoft was really using Google’s search results in Bing’s ranking.We created about 100 “synthetic queries”—queries that you would never expect a user to type, such as [hiybbprqag]. As a one-time experiment, for each synthetic query we inserted as Google’s top result a unique (real) webpage which had nothing to do with the query. Below is an example:To be clear, the synthetic query had no relationship with the inserted result we chose—the query didn’t appear on the webpage, and there were no links to the webpage with that query phrase. In other words, there was absolutely no reason for any search engine to return that webpage for that synthetic query. You can think of the synthetic queries with inserted results as the search engine equivalent of marked bills in a bank.We gave 20 of our engineers laptops with a fresh install of Microsoft Windows running Internet Explorer 8 with Bing Toolbar installed. As part of the install process, we opted in to the “Suggested Sites” feature of IE8, and we accepted the default options for the Bing Toolbar.We asked these engineers to enter the synthetic queries into the search box on the Google home page, and click on the results, i.e., the results we inserted. We were surprised that within a couple weeks of starting this experiment, our inserted results started appearing in Bing. Below is an example: a search for [hiybbprqag] on Bing returned a page about seating at a theater in Los Angeles.  As far as we know, the only connection between the query and result is Google’s result page (shown above).We saw this happen for multiple queries. For the query [delhipublicschool40 chdjob] we inserted a search result for a credit union:The same credit union soon showed up on Bing for that query:For the query [juegosdeben1ogrande] we inserted a page of hip hop bling jewelry:And the same hip hop bling page showed up in Bing:As we see it, this experiment confirms our suspicion that Bing is using some combination of:Internet Explorer 8, which can send data to Microsoft via its Suggested Sites featurethe Bing Toolbar, which can send data via Microsoft’s Customer Experience Improvement Programor possibly some other means to send data to Bing on what people search for on Google and the Google search results they click. Those results from Google are then more likely to show up on Bing. Put another way, some Bing results increasingly look like an incomplete, stale version of Google results—a cheap imitation.At Google we strongly believe in innovation and are proud of our search quality. We’ve invested thousands of person-years into developing our search algorithms because we want our users to get the right answer every time they search, and that’s not easy. We look forward to competing with genuinely new search algorithms out there—algorithms built on core innovation, and not on recycled search results from a competitor. So to all the users out there looking for the most authentic, relevant search results, we encourage you to come directly to Google. And to those who have asked what we want out of all this, the answer is simple: we'd like for this practice to stop.Posted by Amit Singhal, Google Fellow\n  \n","saved":"2011-02-01T23:43:14Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"26d682db96597057c2a09d0658d5b32a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/85c363b299af/","kind":"page"},

That's what happened with the Art Project—a new tool we're announcing today which puts more than 1,000 works of art at your fingertips, in extraordinary detail.It started when a small group of us who were passionate about art got together to think about how we might use our technology to help museums make their art more accessible—not just to regular museum-goers or those fortunate to have great galleries on their doorsteps, but to a whole new set of people who might otherwise never get to see the real thing up close.We're also lucky here to have access to technology like Picasa and App Engine and to have colleagues who love a challenge—like building brand-new technology to enable Street View to go indoors! Thanks to this, and our unique collaboration with museums around the world, we were able to turn our 20% project into something you can try out for yourself today at www.googleartproject.com.You’ll find a selection of super high-resolution images of famous works of art as well as more than a thousand other images, by more than 400 artists—all in one place. And with Street View technology, you can take a virtual tour inside 17 of the world’s most acclaimed art museums, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art  and MoMA in New York, The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Tate Britain & The National Gallery in London, Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.Officer and Laughing Girl, Johannes Vermeer (The Frick Collection, New York - U.S.)Here are a few things you can do:Dive into brushstroke-level detail: On top of the 1,000+ other images, each of the 17 museums selected one artwork to be photographed in extraordinary detail using super high resolution or “gigapixel” photo-capturing technology. Each of these images contains around 7 billion pixels—that's that’s around 1,000 times more detailed than your average digital camera—and a specially-built “microscope view” uses Picasa to deliver thie images at amazingly high resolution. You can zoom in to see Van Gogh’s famous brushwork [link] or watch how previously hard to-see elements of an artwork suddenly become clear—such as the tiny Latin couplet which appears in Hans Holbein the Younger’s “The Merchant Georg Gisze.”The bedroom, Vincent van Gogh (Van Gogh Museum)Explore inside the museums: the Street View team designed a brand-new vehicle called the “trolley” to take 360-degree images of the interior of selected galleries. These were then stitched together and mapped to their location, enabling smooth navigation of more than 385 rooms within the museums. We also created a new clickable annotation feature, so you can jump from being inside a museum one moment to viewing a particular artwork the next. Once inside an image, an info panel lets you read more about an artwork, find more works by that artist and watch related YouTube videos. Gallery interiors can also be explored directly from within Street View in Google Maps.Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy—with a view on Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus”Create your own collection: With the “Create an Artwork Collection” feature, you can save specific views of any of the artworks and build your own personalized collection. Comments can be added to each painting and the whole collection can then be shared with friends, family or on the web using the integrated goo.gl URL shortener.We’re incredibly excited about this project—it’s our first step toward making great art more accessible, and we hope to add more museums and works of art in time. So whether you’re a student, an aspiring artist or a casual museum-goer, we hope the Google Art Project gives you a fun and unusual way to interact with art—and hopefully inspires you to visit the real thing.Posted by Amit Sood, Head of Google Art Project\n  \n","saved":"2011-02-01T14:18:05Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a0d2b00861f1344377b9e9c3bd6e3379","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/53447c2f1577/","kind":"page"},

Some people say to build 500. Some people say to build one in Baltimore.\n\nBuilding an incubator is super-hard. To point to the success of TechStars and Y Combinator and think that this demonstrates that building an incubator is easy is simply a fallacy.\n\nFirst, what is an incubator: An incubator is typically the earliest kind of investor involved in a business. Typically they invest a small amount of money and some amount of in-kind services in exchange for a small stake in the business. Typically these services will include providing office space, some small amount of legal, accounting, and business consulting, and some kind of “graduation party” that is designed to introduce their graduates to potential investors.\n\nMore important than the question of what an incubator is, is “What is the value that an incubator should deliver?”\n\nI think the primary value that any investor can provide consists of three areas:\n\n\nStrategic advice/services that improve the viability of the business\nHelping the business exit\nHelping the business raise money\n\nNow, that third category could theoretically be part of the first bullet, but I wanted to break it out due to the critical importance of that specific topic.\n\nIn my mind, the primary value that an incubator provides to a start-up is that it allows the start-up to raise money at a valuation that is a premium to the valuation that it would have raised money at prior to participating in the incubator – either through the pedigree of the program or the services provided by the incubator, the valuation has been increased significantly.\n\nWhy is Y Combinator the hottest thing going on today? Because 12 weeks after you start the program, you are virtually assured of being able to raise $1 million at a $4 million pre-money. The pre-money increases substantially and the odds of raising the money at that price increase. The result: You have to be in Y Combinator if they will accept you.\n\nIs it possible for other incubator’s to replicate this value proposition? It is probably hard – in theory not too hard, but in practice quite hard. You need incubator leadership that is extraordinarily well-connected into the seed stage financing community.\n\nFurther, there is the concern that incubator’s model the VC community: The market is a “To the victor goes the spoils” where all of the good deals go to the top 20% of the incubator market, leaving bad deals for the rest of the market. This is not bad for the small businesses – any incubator may be better than no incubator for unsophisticated entrepreneurs, but it means that many of these incubators will discover that their business model is unsustainable. Deprived of “access to good deals” as good deals flee to the TechStars and Y Combinators that can assure them of financing, remaining incubators invest in companies far less likely to succeed, leaving them insolvent.\n\nThe first time I got to hear Josh Kopelman‘s pitch for FRC (probably four years ago), he described FRC’s value proposition as, “helping you raise your next round at a substantial premium”. If you don’t think you can do that, then your incubator will fail. It is that simple. The amount of money invested by an incubator typically necessitates raising money shortly after a start-up exits the program, therefore helping your investment raise money is the single core competency most crucial to an incubator. $25,000 does not go far.\n\nSome incubator’s have touted that they will invest more money – in some cases six figures – as a tool for differentiating from programs like Y Combinator. This is probably an erroneous strategy. Funding companies at such an impossibly early stage without traction or the social proof of a round of investors makes placing big bets on relatively fewer companies a strategy that has a much higher beta than current incubation approaches. There is a reason people write smaller checks at an earlier stage.\n\nI want to end this post with a few things that Y Combinator and TechStars have done that seem incredibly smart. While I have bashed the prospects of incubators in this post, if you think you can pull this off, there are some best practices that I would obviously rip off. (Caveat: If you didn’t already know this stuff, then you are probably not going to be able to do it. I have not been funded by these incubators, I do not know anyone who has participated as a company in these incubators, I know basically nothing, but I know this stuff.)\n\nHere is the most important: They involve super angels early. Many different super angels are brought in as “consultants” to spend time with the incubatee’s. After spending a day with a variety of teams, many of these consultants invest in the one or two ideas that they like the best. The result is that the fund-raising begins with very warm meetings and by the time the team shows up for their demo day, they already have prominent investors that are leading their deal.\n\nWhat are the other best practices of the incubator’s? Discuss.\n\n\n\nRelated posts:How To Build A Great Start-up Economy\nSometimes you raise all you can, sometimes you don’t\nWhy Aren’t Techstars-ish Programs In Every Big City?\n\n","saved":"2011-01-26T09:53:12Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"ddf7bd78694f8aedf071cc48a118e905","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7a685cd45057/","kind":"page"},

The hearing, awash with rhetoric about targeting Internet crime and including an unexpected condemnation of EFF's privacy advocacy, was purportedly an information- and fact-finding hearing to explore the issue of data retention and consider what Congress' role should be.  However, it's already clear where the new House Judiciary Chairman, Representative Lamar Smith, stands on the issue: he introduced data retention legislation just last year and likely will do so again this year.\n\nEFF believes that government-mandated data retention would be an overwhelmingly invasive and costly demand, raising serious privacy and free speech concerns — points well-argued at the hearing by John Morris, General Counsel of CDT [written testimony], and Kate Dean, Executive Director of the United States Internet Service Provider Association [written testimony].\n\nAlthough the Obama Adminstration has not yet put forward a specific data retention proposal,  any such proposal would likely have ISPs and perhaps other online service providers preemptively recording data about the online activities of millions of Americans who haven't committed any crime. Advocates for data retention typically focus narrowly on the benefits afforded to law enforcement without accounting for the massive costs and extreme security risks that come with storing significant quantities of data about every Internet user — databanks that will prove to be irresistible not only to government investigators but also civil litigants (read: ex-spouses, insurance companies, disgruntled neighbors) and malicious hackers of every stripe. A legal obligation to log users' Internet use, paired with weak federal privacy laws that allow the government to easily obtain those records, would dangerously expand the government's ability to surveil its citizens, damage privacy, and chill freedom of expression.\n\nPerhaps the biggest surprise in the hearing was Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jason Weinstein's attack on EFF and our Best Practices for Online Service Providers (OSPs) whitepaper.   As Weinstein testified,  \"In 2008, the Electronic Frontier Foundation published a user guide or a guide that was titled Best Practices for Online Service Providers which I think is unintentionally the best argument for Congress to intervene in this space than anything that I can say today.\" Weinstein went on to object to some of the guidelines in the whitepaper, designed by attorneys and technologists to best balance the business and technical needs of OSPs and their users' privacy and civil liberties. Apparently, the Justice Department thinks that informing Internet companies that data retention is not legally required, and also suggesting strategies for protecting their users' privacy, is a clear and present danger to online safety.\n\nOn the contrary, we think that the Best Practices for OSPs encourages sound privacy policy, a position borne out in 2009 when the Justice Department illegally demanded logs reflecting the IP address of every single person who had visited any page on the political news site Indymedia.us.  Lucky for the readers of Indymedia.us, that site followed our OSP best practices and didn't keep such logs, and with EFF's help, beat back the government's overreaching subpoena.  However, a mandatory data retention regime would inevitably lead to even more such illegal demands for Internet users' data being made and complied with, to the detriment of Americans' digital rights.\n\nUnfortunately, today's hearing is the first signal that the Obama Administration, like the Bush Administration before it, hopes to push a new data retention law through Congress.  Thankfully, at least some representatives present at the hearing seemed to recognize that when Americans' privacy and security are at risk, a healthy level of skepticism and rigorous investigation will be vital to avoid creating disastrous legislation. EFF plans to keep Congress and the public well-appraised of the threat to civil liberties posed by mandatory data retention, so stay tuned to Deeplinks and the EFF Action Center for updates as the issue works its way through Congress.\n","saved":"2011-01-26T00:47:09Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"73819446615bdeb8a54c0bb087a9958c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7bca32141ce9/","kind":"page"},

It was directed by the same guy who worked on the Cinnamon Chasers video featured in this planet5D cinema post a while back. It was so awesome, we wrote to Saman Keshavarz (the writer/director) and asked for some background information – and he sent us a great story. First watch the video and then scroll down to learn about how they made it.\n\n\n\nPlaytime\n\nB. FLEISCHMANN presents PLAYTIME from Saman Keshavarz on Vimeo.\n\n A short film/music video for B. Fleischmann’s PLAYTIME track.  **Shot entirely on the Canon 5D MkII**\n\nArtist: B. Fleischmann (bfleischmann.com/​)\nAlbum: Angst Is Not A Weltanschauung\nLabel: Morr Music\n© Morr Music (morrmusic.com/​)\n\nWritten/Directed By: Saman Keshavarz \n(samankeshavarz.blogspot.com)\nArt Director: Evangeline Joo\nAssociate Producers: Francis Pollara\nCinemtography: Justin Gurnari\nEditor: Nate Tam\nSound Designer: Ed Hobbs\nVisual FX: Alessandro Schiassi\nGraphics: Cosimo Galluzzi & Saman Keshavarz\n\nSpecial Thanks: Nate Eggert, Julie Chen, Josh Patterson, Grace Zhang, Claire Kho, Daniel Teliants, James Kim, Mike Rios, Timmy NGO, Ian Kammer, Armen Perian, Yama Lake, Maria Biber, Chris Saul, Tom Lee, Romson Niega, Kathy Yoon, Darcy Ripley, Bob McKeon, Steven Butler\n        \n\n\n\nThe background info from Saman\nSo it was a n00b little student filmmaker that reached out via fan mail to an artist in Austria. The artist was B. Fleischmann who gave the green light along with the label: Morr Music to do a probono video for a very random and obscure track off of their latest album (at the time).  That n00b was I.  \n\nIt was December of 2008 when I got the greenlight, I was 22, and still at Art Center College of Design.  I had not finished a single project I was happy with at this point.  As I was connecting and realizing I had no cash yet for the project, I worked on other projects at the time…mainly my Canon commercial I shot.  After that I had enough confidence to go forth with this idea.  \n\nMy Initial idea involved a man named JACK.  Jack was a sociopathic school teacher that was trapped in his mind.  His mind happened to be a square room that was 36 x40 feet.  In his mind was a ton of real-time chaos that would happen in a one shot for the song’s duration, with the set dressing changing each time we made a 360 degree turn.  After trying to lock down art department and figure out how the “fuck” we were gonna shoot it, we went into building the stage. We blocked off around 150 parking spots and pissed off more students than that when they realized they had to spend 30 extra minutes finding parking: OOPS!\n\nOn July 9th, 2009. I experienced the worst day of my life…the day of the shoot.  We ending up not walking away with a single usable shot as everything completely fell apart and I lost about 5 grand on the junk we recorded with our RED camera.  \n\nDuring the dark days after when realized I should not be living anymore, I was getting into the Canon EOS 5D Mark II that a fellow student cinematographer (Justin Gurnari) owned.  It wasn’t until I head the news of a firmware that would allow for manually adjustable exposure.  This warmed my heart and I immediately was concepting again.  \n\nThis was where I shot a ton of pickup footage for Playtime involving a little paper trick i pulled out of my button hole one morning when i woke up with a back ache.  The technique here is a little secret of mine, but anybody smart that watches the video will see the trick, it is a very “Gondry-esque” trick that is ALL in camera and involves an eye that also understands editing, kinetic movement, and an understanding of visual reaction as is pertains to the language of moving images.  Go read a ton of Walter Murch stuff if i sound like a crazy idiot   Long story short: study your victims, ummm i mean viewers, and basically understand what they pay attention to.  I was able to realize that by isolating the subject with a simple flat background and having them rip through it abruptly.  This caused a lapse in the viewers brain.  That laps happens right when the cut happens and therefore the viewer will 95% of the time never see the cuts.  Actually, they see it but their brain does not register the cut and merely ignores it because of the sudden location change.  If that doesn’t make any sense, just message me on Vimeo and we can have a “cheap tricks 101″ session   (All that was shot using the Canon EOS 5D Mark II using a Canon 24-70 zoom lens).\n\nAnyways, after we shot it we realized we didn’t have anything to attach it too…  This was when I suddenly got swept up with another job: Luv Deluxe by Cinnamon Chasers.  After shooting that video and seeing that so many people were liking my neurotic and manic energy, I had hope once again.  I therefore, tried to resurrect playtime with the paper portal footage we had, and wrote a little stop motion story with it.  It was about a box man lost inside his insanity.  The irony of the story was that when the character finally reached sanity, it was actually a very soulless and “un-fun” place.  Kind of a comment about loss of imagination these days and how boring “normality” can lead to a unhappy person: like box man.\n\nWe shot the stop motion on the week of January 7th, 2010.  This was the most grueling process.  I never thought I could be bored and stressed at the same time.  \n\nFirst off the building portion was a pain.  My art director: Evangeline Joo was new to stop motion as was I so we had to figure it out together.  Claymation, wire models and all that shit.  I had a couple of animating friends come occasionally to give us a 101 when we were sucking ass.  Basically, you just sit and animate all day, and then when ur ready to die…you sleep, and wake up and do it again.  Of course we also had to find a space at school to do it, so we would have to re-route classes and try to trick people into giving us their space when we went over-time.  It is that simple really:  Snap a picture, move the characters, then snap again…rinse & repeat  10′s of thousands of times.  We also kind of did some of our own little cheap tricks (ie: sliding the set to fake a camera dolly move in order to keep the set in one peace or manually spinning lights one by one to create rotating distress lights etc etc).\n\n(Footage shot with 5D mk II using 24-70mm lens again) \n\nRight after shooting I got swept up into another project: Midnight Club for Russ Chimes.  This was a huge project I was attached with for about 4 straight months because we were on such a shoe string budget and had to pull in MASSIVE amounts of favors.  After we finished that I had planned to edit all of Playtime together, but then got swept up again with !!! (chk chk chk) video for their single: Jamie, My Intentions Are Bass.  After that: I ignored the world and got right back on board.  There were some visual effects we needed to implement to cover for my n00bie-ness back in 2009 (ie: the other box heads, color’d arrows, and of course the little video game hud stuff) PLAYTIME was finished on December 16th, 2010…Just in time for Graduation, then released early January 2010.\n\nSo… what do you think? Sound off in the comments below!\n\n(Photo credit: snap from the video)\n\n\n\nRelated Posts:\n\nNo Related Posts\n\n\n","saved":"2011-01-20T13:55:15Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"49871221a008134d2b29ecd82177d24e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0d5546fdb626/","kind":"page"},

We have high hopes for HTML5 and have already begun to use it in our products.  We hope HTML5 will help developers everywhere address one significant engineering challenge we face daily:  the need to support different platforms across the Web, desktop and mobile devices.  Imagine if you could build your app once and have it scale across all of these platforms using nothing more than HTML, JavaScript and CSS.  That is the promise of the Web and promise we are working to meet.\n\n\nToward this end, we're hosting a Tech Talk next Wednesday, January 26 at 7PM PST where we will explore how Facebook, Zynga, and SproutCore are currently using these technologies.\n\n\nDetails:\nLaurent Desegur (Zynga) - Zynga recently launched their mobile version of Mafia Wars built fully with HTML and JavaScript. Laurent will talk about the successes as well as some challenges, mostly regarding variations between browsers, native shims, and performance.\n\n\nCharles Jolley (SproutCore) - SproutCore is an HTML5 app framework for building responsive, desktop-caliber apps in any modern Web browser. Charles will give an overview of how to use SproutCore in your own applications to take advantage of the latest Web technologies.\n\n\nCory Ondrejka (Facebook) - Cory will speak about a project that exercises browsers under game-like conditions to measure how many sprites can move around on the screen at once. The server collects the performance data and spits it back in several forms.\n\n\nIf you can't make it to our offices in Palo Alto, California, you can catch a live stream of the talk at http://www.facebook.com/FacebookLive.

In an interview with paidContent, Greg Coleman, president and chief revenue officer, declined to go into sales figures, but did confirm that the company did reach profitability last year, adding that he made good on his goal to double the news aggregators revenues. Were putting plans and people in place that should allow us to double our revenues this year as well, Coleman said. Part of the plan includes still more ad sales hiring and getting advertisers to commit to year-long ads tied to social media. \n\nOn the new hires, Coleman said that the caliber of talent reminds me of the excitement at Yahoo in 2001 (for Yahoo, that was definitely the good old days). As well it should. Three of the dozen hires are from Yahooincluding Lauri Baker and Jennifer Carroll , who have both been named as account executives and most recently held that title at Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO). One of the most significant hires on the list is Sam Figler, most recently VP, Global Sales & Business Development at Yahoo, as SVP, Business Developement at HuffPo.\n\n\nSocial media advertising, including sponsored blogs, is one of the key revenue drivers for HuffPo for the past year. To continue attracting advertisers there, Coleman has hired two ad sales staffers. Camille Norris, previously a research analyst at the NYT, has been named social marketing research manager. Shell work with Jarrod Dicker, who will serve as social marketing manager. He recently held a similar post at Minyanville Media.\n\n\nWeve made a lot of investments this past year and well continue to hire as we go, in order to keep up the momentum, Coleman said, noting that having its traffic rise to 26 million uniques a month on average has helped to convince advertisers to go along with his plans. Weve been advocating that clients buy social media differently from traditional media. We are talking about making commitments for a full year, because the conversation around the ads is still going on. From our perspective, social media ads should be evergreen. We have someone putting a lot of effort, in terms of SEO to work, to keep that alive. Early on, clients were finding that the topic they bought ads on was still getting attention, but they hadnt budgeted for the additional ads. But thats starting to change.\n\n\nColeman wouldnt say who hes received year-long commitments from, but he did say hes nailed down at least five.\n\n\nIn addition to all this, Coleman still plans to continue his part time job: teaching online advertising to 80 second-year MBA students at Georgetown. Each fall he invites a roster of guests, including his former Yahoo boss Terry Semel, AllThingsDs Kara Swisher and VC investor Fred Wilson, to speak to his class.

Today Amazonssubsidiary Quidisi has opened up a few stores selling household items on the social network.   Quidsi, which wasacquired by Amazon for $540 million in the fall,has created electronic commerce pages on Facebook forSoap.com,BeautyBar.comandDiapers.com. These are companies owned by Quidsi, and their social network presence together amounts toabout 60,000fans.  When you go to Soap.coms Facebook page, you see a tab called My List where you can search for and purchaseproducts all withinthe social network.The shopping cart on the site looks like a more sophisticated, cleaner version of the one on Amazon.com, and lets you confirm what you want to purchase. The tool also tracks your order, and encourages you to like the product.  What I found most helpful was the My Lists tab, which let me shop across all of Quidisis destinations (Diapers, Soap, and Beauty Bar), reorder, and customize my shopping list. This seems like a more robust version of FatWallet.  Quidisisomewhat resemblesStorenvyin allowing you to shopfrom stores within a single tab. However, while Storenvy requires you to create aspecific accountfor the application,My Lists just asks you for the login youve previously used on BeautyBar.com, Soap.com, or Diapers.com.

You know what’s cool? A billion dollars.”  While there is nothing wrong with making a billion dollars…and this line fits perfectly with the scene in the movie…the reality is most entrepreneurs will be lucky (and probably quite happy) if they ever make a million dollars, especially with the first company they start.  Yet the media loves to write about the 20 something college dropout that raised millions (or billions) of dollars to fund the latest tech start-up. It is like business porn. It is almost as if dropping out of college became a requirement to receive seed funding.  What kind of values are we promoting to the young people in our society when we always depict the business world as a get-rich-quick-scheme? What happens to the 99% of people who go into the business world and realize the people they read about in the media or see in movies are as rare as lottery winners?  The reality is the vast majority of all entrepreneurs build their fortunes through long and hard work, and often after experiencing quite a bit of failure along the way.  There is a myth that innovation comes primarily from the profit motive and from the competitive pressures of a market society. Innovation doesn’t come just from giving people monetary incentives. It comes from creating environments where their ideas can connect. Innovation comes from passionate and connected groups of people. Ideas aren’t self-contained things; they are more like eco systems and networks that travel in clusters.  Software people do it all the time. They share ideas, what works, what doesn’t, etc., and then together they build it because they want to, not because they have to. They love it and get energy from collaborating.  Much like the concept of open source software development, that’s what we’re doing at Project Skyway. We are not only connecting entrepreneurs with business leaders, mentors, advisors, and investors, but we are connecting entrepreneurs with each other and being open about our process.  The most important aspect of Project Skyway will be the mentorship and community we are building. During their infancy, businesses are fragile, and the failure rate is high. All entrepreneurs starting businesses will hit many walls at the beginning. This is why it is important for entrepreneurs to have access to mentors, as well as a community of entrepreneurs, to help them when they hit a wall.

Who would have thought that the experiment would evolve into today’s Internet: a global network connecting billions of people, some using handheld devices faster than the mainframes of the 1970s?For more than 30 years, 32-bit addresses have served us well, but now the Internet is running out of space. IPv6 is the only long-term solution, but as the chart below shows, it has not yet been widely deployed. With IPv4 addresses expected to run out in 2011, only 0.2% of Internet users have native IPv6 connectivity:IPv6 connectivity among Google users since September 2008 Google has been supporting IPv6 since early 2008, when we first began offering search over IPv6. Since then we’ve brought IPv6 support to YouTube and have been helping ISPs enable Google over IPv6 by default for their users.On World IPv6 Day, we’ll be taking the next big step. Together with major web companies such as Facebook and Yahoo!, we will enable IPv6 on our main websites for 24 hours. This is a crucial phase in the transition, because while IPv6 is widely deployed in many networks, it’s never been used at such a large scale before. We hope that by working together with a common focus, we can help the industry prepare for the new protocol, find and resolve any unexpected issues, and pave the way for global deployment.The good news is that Internet users don’t need to do anything special to prepare for World IPv6 Day. Our current measurements suggest that the vast majority (99.95%) of users will be unaffected. However, in rare cases, users may experience connectivity problems, often due to misconfigured or misbehaving home network devices. Over the coming months we will be working with application developers, operating system vendors and network device manufacturers to further minimize the impact and provide testing tools and advice for users.We hope that many other websites will join us in participating in World IPv6 Day. Changing the language spoken by every device on the Internet is a large task, but it’s essential to ensure the future of an open and robust Internet for decades to come.Posted by Lorenzo Colitti, Network Engineer\n  \n","saved":"2011-01-12T17:24:03Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"690a23819f9302c958261b0ed8810c73","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/210bc4f524e0/","kind":"page"},

FireFox is at 29%, which is a bit of a drop too. Safari has gained a bit, but Chrome is making the biggest gains. \n\nWhile IE web browsing visitors account for only 34% of TheDeets.com’s traffic, those visitors are responsible for 60% of the ad clicks and 65% of the site’s revenue.\n\nAt the other end of the spectrum, Chrome web browser users, I see a 14% visit share, and a measly 4% share of ad revenue.\n\nIf you’re trying to make a living off online ad revenues, this could be problematic. As I see it, the IE crowd is likely people who’ve bought a Windows computer and have stuck with their computer’s default web browser (along with people who are forced to use IE on work computers). I’m assuming that this group of web users are relative novices compared to people who’ve taken the time to install a different browser (Firefox or Chrome) or buy a better computer (Safari is the default Macintosh browser).\n\nBreaking down the advertisement click through rates by the browser choices of visitors, I see this:\n\n\n\nPeople browsing with Internet Explorer are twice as likely to click an ad during their visit as Safari users (the other default user crowd). IE users are 3X more likely to click an ad than FireFox users, and 5X more likely to do so than Chrome web browsing visitors to TheDeets.com.\n\nThe challenge here for publishers is that more and more people will fall into the Safari, FireFox, and Chrome profiles over time as they become more experienced web surfers. Then who’s going to click the ads?\n\nAs I think about this, it reminds me of the experience I have whenever I visit a new country for the first time. After landing at an airport, everything is new, including the advertisements. I find myself actually interested in the ads in  subways, on billboards, bus benches, etc. But, over time, my interest wanes. I imagine this is partly because the ads become relatively redundant over time. I don’t have the same level of engagement with a cell phone carrier’s ad the 100th time I see it. But, it’s not just the content of the ads that gets ignored. It’s whatever appears in locations that have proven to provide little value over time. \n\nTranslating that to the web, people who’ve spent a lot of time online have seen a TON of ads, so are already familiar with a huge portion of the ads they peripherally see every day. Additionally, there are certain locations on pages, and shapes of content that their brains have learned to ignore since they have proven to provide little value. And, beyond that, a small portion of experienced web users have installed ad blockers, so don’t even have to ignore the ads on the page.\n\n\n\n   \n","saved":"2011-01-11T13:00:16Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"aa062e2e621bcb32af560123fb22cb61","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/97db4fce7b82/","kind":"page"},

The feature uses the \"Liked\" Pages and shared articles of logged-in Facebook users who visit the Post to recommend recent content from across its wide swath of articles.  \n\n\nIt looks like a good and relatively simple feature. Surprisingly, HuffPo readers responding in comments on the announcement absolutely hate it!\n\nSponsor\n\n\nThe feature sounds simple, but is a great example of the power of Facebook: the social network is not just a tool for publishers to push content onto, to increase distribution and pageviews, Facebook Connect is also a form of data portability that allows 3rd party websites to offer personalized content to their visitors.  Many sites have exposed content that a Facebook user's friends have shared, but this leveraging of the structured individual interest data is far less common.\n\n\nCould objections to using this data be rooted in the ongoing lack of clarity around Facebook's privacy settings?  Or did the company just shoot itself in the foot so badly 12 months ago when it made drastic privacy policy changes that people still distrust it today?\n\n\nThe Down Side\n\nReader comments range from confusion about the feature to distrust of anything associated with Facebook (\"I don't have one of those,\" several people have said) to distrust of recommendations to concern about self-reenforcing political perspectives.  \n\n\n\"Great,\" one frustrated comment read, \"put your readers to work for you, is it not enough that we have to deal with your advertisements.\" Unbelievable!\n\n\nAnother: \"If it involves Facebook, you can count me out.\n\n\n\"Also, I find it irritating that everything has to be so intensivel­y personaliz­ed and baby-fed. I think I'm capable of navigating my way around a website and clicking on articles that interest me. I don't need someone to pick my articles for me. And, if a friend discovers something they think I might like, they can just email me.\"\n\nThose are just two comments of many. So far there's not been a single positive one posted!  As a technologist, excited about the future of personalized recommendations to assist in discovery, I find this fascinating.\n\n\n\"Great,\" one frustrated comment read, \"put your readers to work for you, is it not enough that we have to deal with your advertisements.\" Maybe HuffPo readers consider themselves to be unusually independent thinkers, maybe they find this kind of recommendation invasive or patronizing.  Maybe they consider their Facebook profiles to be less true to their real selves than feels appropriate as a basis for recommendations.  \n\nBehind the scenes, though - I believe that the Huffington Post has long been a very data-driven editorial organization.  (\"See Demi Moore in a bikini!\")  The company has been experimenting, for example, with attention decay algorithms that move content up or down the front page.  Maybe those data-centric practices need to be kept in the background, where readers can't see them and are thus less likely to object.\n\n\nProblems for Publishers\n\nOther than the unhappy reaction the feature has seen from readers, there are other risks to implementing this kind of technology.\n\n\nThe down side of this for a publisher like Huffington is of course further indebtedness to Facebook.  Facebook as identity provider, Facebook as user personalization data bank, it's not customary for publishers to feel comfortable allowing a 3rd party to control all the data about their own readers.  Facebook puts conditions on the use of that data too, such as prohibiting caching of the data.\n\n\nThe trade-off is that the ease of use means the publisher gets far more data and far more accurate data.  Publishers who collect user data in a vacuum provide little incentive for their readers to input information about themselves that's true - in this case the Huffington Post reader data comes from a context where accuracy is incentivized by discoverability by a person's friends.\n\n\nFor users - it looks like a win.  Once you opt-in to connecting your Facebook account and your activity on the Huffington Post, the recommendations appear topical and interesting.  That's how it strikes me, but other people sure seem unhappy about it.\n\nDiscuss\n\n       \n","saved":"2011-01-07T01:48:21Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"56ab75ee1eebfa4a3b0c086e78c751c7","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/fbb9185bf0cb/","kind":"page"},

As negotiating leverage. Once youre a successful, non-commodity writer  that is, a writer whose mere name can sell books and whose work cant be freely interchanged in the publishers catalog or on the booksellers shelf with another writers work  copyright becomes a moderately useful tool for extracting funds from publishers. Copyright becomes a productive club-with-a-nail-through-it with which to threaten publishers who might consider publishing a well-known writers work without her permission. Likewise, copyright is a useful tool for publishers to use in threatening each other, should one publisher take it into his head to copy a competitors copyrighted books and sell them. Because of this, a successful writer can even auction her copyrights off between more than one publisher.\n","saved":"2011-01-03T04:54:27Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e4aff05c2d39eefeadaa197311ef48c5","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e0386fc694b1/","kind":"page"},

Kennedy speech to the press about secrecy and censorship, which is getting some attention for the contrast to the way our government is responding to the Wikileaks controversy.  \n\n\n\nThe key paragraph is the one that opens the video:\n\n The very word \"secrecy\" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.\n\nCompare that to the way our government has been responding -- demanding that US companies block access to Wikileaks and other such moves.\n\nOf course, if you read the full speech from JFK (which was given to the American Newspaper Publishers Association), it's really quite nuanced.  JFK argues forcefully against censorship from the government -- but actually is suggesting that the press consider self-censoring itself, taking into account the impact that it could have if it publishes certain information.  However, he does try to make it clear that he does not want criticism or errors to be shielded from the public -- just that he hopes the press will decide for themselves to avoid publishing info that directly reveals vital points to enemies of the country.\n\nIn the end, I actually think these two paragraphs may be even more powerful than the one that most people are talking about:\n\n   I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers--I welcome it. This Administration intends to be candid about its errors; for as a wise man once said: \"An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.\" We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors; and we expect you to point them out when we miss them.\n\n     Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed--and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment-- the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution- -not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply \"give the public what it wants\"--but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.\n\nToo bad we're not hearing much of that from our politicians today.Permalink | Comments | Email This Story\n \n\n\n","saved":"2011-01-02T12:21:15Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"f3c99f7b9950ac56b768afd96d3b4b22","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6989ebd3e205/","kind":"page"},

These plans may work — or not. The key is to find the right model, or combination of models, that can help you schedule your projects more effectively. Here are three of the more common models.\n\nGantt Charts\nSince the Gantt chart is one of the more popular project schedule formats, most people are familiar with how it looks. A horizontal axis represents time, while a vertical axis lists tasks/activities. Bars are used to illustrate the duration of each activity. These bars can be color-coded according to your needs. For example, using the same color for different bars can show task dependencies, who is assigned to the task, or what resources are used. You can also add lines and markers to specify milestones, notes, and other information.\n\nWhen they’re useful: Gantt charts are effective for showing the big picture. Because smaller tasks are shown adjacent to each other in relation to the project as a whole, everyone in the team can see how their work will affect everyone else’s. This is especially useful for teams with remote workers. Gantt charts can also provide a useful template for projects with scopes and schedules that rarely change.\n\nWhen they’re not: Since you need detailed breakdowns of project activities in order to develop Gantt charts, they may be difficult to implement in projects requiring many changes, such as in agile software development. The slightest change in dependencies, milestones, or tasks may force you to start a new chart from scratch. There are still ways to use a Gantt chart in these cases, but it’s not always the best choice.\n\nThe graphical representation in Gantt charts may also be unnecessary for projects that look more like the linear process of an assembly line, or for projects with only one or two participants.\n\nTools: If you want to try out Gantt charts, here are some apps you can start with: \n\n\nTom’s Planner\nGantter\nGantto (currently in private beta).\n\nProgram Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) Charts\nThe PERT chart illustrates a project by focusing on the relationships between activities. The structure of a PERT chart is similar to a flowchart or mind map. An important characteristic of PERT charts is accurate time estimates. Examples and instructions can be found at NetMBA and Edraw Soft.\n\nWhen they’re useful: The layout of a PERT chart makes the relationships between activities easier to see than with Gantt charts. Thus, PERT charts can be effective for projects that include many activities occurring sequentially and in parallel. PERT charts are also more flexible; you need to make three different time estimates per task, which allows for mid-process changes.\n\nWhen they’re not: Some people don’t like the math involved in computing the “expected time”, which is the average time it may take to complete a task if it were repeated. Here is a concise explanation of the formula, which may make it seem less intimidating. Another disadvantage of PERT charts is that they can be difficult to understand and follow, if the project has many complex dependencies and simultaneous activities.\n\nTools: Since PERT charts resemble mind maps or flowcharts, most mind mapping tools can help you create a PERT chart quickly. You can start with:\n\n\n Gliffy\nMindmeister\nOther tools we’ve reviewed\n\nTask Calendars\nTask calendars show the activities you need to accomplish each day, week, or month. Task calendars can be as simple as paper desk calendars or planners that are date or time based and have room for a to-do list each day.\n\nSome calendars have blank spaces for a to-do list for items that don’t have to be assigned to a specific day. Some of them have indicators for task priorities, work-life balance, and task progress. David Seah has a number of different varieties of task calendars available from his blog,\n\nWhen they’re useful: Task calendars are time-based, making them useful for those who are working on multiple projects at the same time. You can see the tasks you need to accomplish each day, week, or month, even if they’re attached to different projects. Breaking down tasks this way also makes them seem more manageable. Task calendars are also ideal for projects with simple, straightforward processes, since you don’t have to think about simultaneous activities or thorough time estimates.\n\nWhen they’re not: Unlike Gantt or PERT charts, it’s not easy to see the connections, dependencies, and costs of your projects on a task calendar. Some calendar apps do give you the option to view only the tasks associated with a specific project, allowing you to check your progress for each project. Also, as the number of project participants increases, the daily task lists will become bulkier. This makes task calendars difficult to use for large teams, unless individual calendars are created for each participant. Because of these limitations, task calendars may be more effective when used in tandem with PERT or Gantt charts.\n\nTools: Most calendar apps allow you to create task lists or an agenda for the day, including:\n\n\nGoogle Calendar\niCal\nMS Outlook\nRainlendar\n\nThere are also a few to-do list apps that have a calendar view. Todoist is one of them, though you have to type in a search query to get custom calendar views. I also recommend Worktrek, especially since it tells you whether you’ve had an efficient day or not.\n\nWhile these three models aren’t the only ways to schedule your projects, they can provide a good starting point when figuring out your approach. Will you benefit from the big-picture thinking inherent in creating a Gantt chart? Or will a PERT model serve you better, since you’ll make several changes along the way? Is having a daily to-do list of deliverables enough? You can even use these different models together, if necessary. After all, no matter how you dress them up these models all aim to do one thing: help you get that project finished.\n\nHave you tried any of these project scheduling formats? What are the benefits and limitations you’ve encountered?\n\nPhoto by stock.xchng user jnatiuk\n\nRelated content from GigaOM Pro (sub. req.):\n\n\n\nEnabling the Web Work Revolution\nBy The Numbers: Running a Coworking Space\nMaking Coworking Corporate-Scale\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2010-12-27T17:00:13Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b63557d98edb9eff421556f95f9efc65","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8d73257e3ce6/","kind":"page"},

Highly advise watching in 1080 on YouTube.          It was shot on the Canon 5D MarkII. The main lenses used were a Zeiss 50mm f1.4 and a Canon 85mm f1.2L. We also used a cheaper Canon 17-85mm f4-5.6 lens on the sand shots so we didn’t have to swing lenses in sand.

Nice idea, but it's hypocritical to demand that of their vendors when they don't provide it to their users. For some reason they are never called on this hypocrisy by the tech press. \n\nAt the PDFleaks conference in NYC last Saturday I said that after Amazon booted WikiLeaks from EC2 that signaled very clearly that there is no such thing as net neutrality. Here's a service provider, very analogous to Comcast and Verizon, that decided it wasn't in its economic interest to carry a user's bits. It wasn't just about the level or cost of the service, they cut them off totally. Without adequate explanation of why. Saying they were doing something illegal is no explanation at all. That's not for Amazon to decide, that's for the courts. Due process is required to prove that something illegal is happening. And many legal experts believe that there's nothing illegal about WikiLeaks.\n\nSomething like this happened to UserLand in Aprill 2000. We were having serious problems with our ISP, our T1 line was dead for most of a month. When I had connectivity, I was writing about the problems on my blog. I had to, people needed to know why we weren't on the net. We had our own customers, and they weren't being very patient, nor should they have been. I don't think the supplier ever understood that we had customers, even though we said it repeatedly. \n\nOut of the blue, without any explanation, they terminated our service. That cost us hugely, not only in human time, but in startup fees with a new ISP. We were a small, thinly financed company, so it really hurt.  \n\nBut that's reality. Most of us live with anything-but net neutrality. When the tech industry asks us to stand up for them, they're really pushing the chutzpah. \n\nRead your user-agreements carefully. Most of them give the vendor the right to terminate your service at will without any appeal possible. That's not net neutral. Not even close.\n","saved":"2010-12-19T17:11:52Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"c7c84e244aa2d4be11ec740799639fec","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/98de86ee7f72/","kind":"page"},

To give a bit of background, we launched our company with an improved camera sling last year called the Loop to a warm reception. It did well and was a great product, but we knew it could be better. So we dug in, did our homework, and came up with a second-generation Loop that improved on every single aspect of the original, including having a bad-ass new connector that took a lot of collaboration and design work to come up with.\n\n\n\n\nLate in the development process of the new Loop, we got our first hint that it might exceed our expectations in the form of a leak. Albert, one of the people that we had sent an evaluation unit to decided to write it up and post it on a few forums, including the Canon Digital Photography Forums, the XtremeSystems Forums, the Around the World forum, and more. This was quite the surprise. Greg and I didn’t expect that our little company would have a leak like this, but we weren’t angry about it either. Instead, we saw it as a vote of confidence and adjusted our planning numbers up.\n\n\nThe question for us what what numbers should we plan for. After all, we knew we had a good product on our hands. We were happy with it and we had lots of validation from our field testers, both privately and—thanks to the leak—publicly. The wild card was that we were going to be launching it during the holiday shopping season, the craziest time of year to plan for. Usually, to plan for the holiday season, a company relies on historical sales, plots some curves, and make some guesses. While we had a year of sales figures with the original Loop, what we were hearing from the field made us think that that we would exceed our historical figures. In addition, we weren’t just launching the Loop. We were also launching a sister product, the LoopIt. We knew for sure were in unknown territory.\n\n\n\n\nHere’s the problem with producing product for a launch of a new product. If you guess really high and you don’t sell what you expected, you’ve sunk a lot of capital and might destroy your profit margins for a while or, even worse if you really bet wrong, bankrupt your company. On the other hand, if you guess low, you leave money on the table and disappoint your customers that can’t buy your product because you are sold out. Every company, big or small, faces this problem. Some of the best companies in the world succeed because they’ve mastered the art of making these guesses.\n\n\nWe made the best guess we could about our potential demand, sunk in as much money as we dared, and made a bunch of inventory to launch right after Thanksgiving. We didn’t bet small, mind you. Given the reaction to Albert’s posts, the reviews from our trusted friends, and our own feelings that we had something special, we bet the company. We put every dollar of capital our company had at the time at risk. We were nervous, but also excited.\n\n\nWe launched the weekend after Thanksgiving. The initial demand was even higher than we expected for the amount of promotion we did. It was manageable, but we started really worrying about what would happen if we got a big pop from a site like Gizmodo or Daring Fireball. It didn’t take long to find out. John Gruber linked to the Loop on December 6th with an awesome four-line review. Gizmodo piled on. Our site was flooded with visitors and we were sold out less than two days later.\n\n\nThe good news is that our site stood up to the shock wave just fine. We’re running on Heroku and even though I was on assignment at TEDWomen, all I needed to do was crank up the number of servers we had responding and the site performed flawlessly.\n\n\nWhile we were pleased about the demand, it showed that we had bet way too low. We had exceeded every wild expectation we could have had in November before launch. We took the biggest gamble we could, put every dollar the company had at risk, and still were way behind the demand curve. Exciting, thrilling, and scary all wrapped up together.\n\n\n\n\nWe dug in and did everything we could to get as big a production run together as possible. We wanted to get in stock again before the Christmas season came to a close. After driving some of our partners crazy with rush orders and managing the product pipeline, we were able to get stock on hand yesterday. We put it up for sale at about 10:30 AM PST. We notified the customers on our mailing list that we were back in stock.\n\n\nSix hours later, we were out of stock again.\n\n\nMy own personal reaction: Holy ****!\n\n\nTo say that it’s been a wild ride is an understatement. I’m personally blown away. Unfortunately, the Christmas shipping window closes early next week and then it’s vacation time for our suppliers. That means that we won’t be back in stock until January. We’re already feeling the disappointment—along with a bit of anger—from potential customers that visit our site and see the out of stock message. But, the situation is what it is. We‘ll deal with it. That’s part of business.\n\n\nThe next big challenge we face is as big as any challenge we’ve faced so far. We’re going to be back in stock in January, but how far should we push the throttle? We know we were way behind the December demand curve, but we actually don’t know by how far we were under. That gives us very little guidance to head into January with. And, as you know, the post-holiday market is a much different beast than the pre-Christmas one. We could actually negate our success this last month pretty easily if we make the wrong guesses.\n\n\nWe’re still in unknown territory. Fun times.\n","saved":"2010-12-18T10:20:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3fe3ef21faec7cc83bd92fc319f95877","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/42693ecbd9b4/","kind":"page"},

How does NASA know? The wind has died down. Voyager 1 has reached a point in the heliosheath that envelopes our solar system in which the speed of the solar wind that has been at Voyager's back for three decades has dropped to zero.\n\nThat point is some 10.8 billion miles from the sun, beyond the outer planets and somewhat near the boundary between the solar system and interstellar space. That boundary is defined by the heliosphere, which reaches outward from the sun as far as the charged particles given off by our anchoring star can reach. \n\nThose charged particles hurtle outward at supersonic speeds until they cross what is known as the termination shock. From there, they begin to slow and heat up significantly in a buffer region known as the heliosheath. Eventually, when traveling outward, they reach a point where the net outward speed of the solar wind drops to zero, and like the eye of a storm the chaos of the cosmos is calm for a bit (the wind is more likely turned sideways due to pressure from the interstellar wind that exists in the regions between stars).\n\nThat's where Voyager 1 is now. In fact, it's been there for a while. NASA handlers knew Voyager 1 crossed the termination shock back in late 2004 when the solar wind at its back began to slow. In June of this year Voyager recorded a net outward wind speed of zero, but the researchers wanted to conduct a few more measurements to make sure Voyager wasn't simply in an eddy of some kind. Since June, the net outward solar wind speed has remained at zero.\n\nThat places Voyager 1 fairly deep in the heliosphere and about four years from emerging from the other side into interstellar space, where it will remain the furthest-reaching mission ever launched from Earth. That's pretty impressive when you think about it: a piece of equipment conceived in the Apollo era when the moon seemed a distant target - Voyager 1 launched in 1977 mind you - is now poised to become the first man-made object to leave the solar system for the larger galaxy beyond.\n\n[NASA via Bad Astronomy]\n\n","saved":"2010-12-15T16:14:13Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7b45071192a87b98533972a43d5ff239","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d0f9de3861ac/","kind":"page"},

If you're a commenter on any of our sites, you probably have several questions.\n\n\nIt's no Black Sunday or iPod modem firmware hack, but it has release notes -- and the story it tells is as epic as Beowulf:\n\n\n\n\nSo, here we are again with a monster release of ownage and data droppage. Previous attacks against the target were mocked, so we came along and raised the bar a little. How's this for \"script kids\"? Your empire has been compromised, your servers, your databases, online accounts and source code have all been ripped to shreds!\nYou wanted attention, well guess what, You've got it now!\n\n\nRead those release notes. It'll explain how the compromise unfolded, blow by blow, from the inside.\n\n\nGawker is operated by Nick Denton, notorious for the unapologetic and often unethical \"publish whatever it takes to get traffic\" methods endorsed on his network. Do you remember the iPhone 4 leak? That was Gawker. Do you remember the article about bloggers being treated as virtual sweatshop workers? That was Gawker. Do you remember hearing about a blog lawsuit? That was probably Gawker, too. \n\n\nSome might say having every account on your network compromised is exactly the kind of unwanted publicity attention that Gawker was founded on. \n\n\nPersonally, I'm more interested in how we can learn from this hack. Where did Gawker go wrong, and how can we avoid making those mistakes on our projects?\n\n\n\n\nGawker saved passwords. You should never, ever store user passwords. If you do, you're storing passwords incorrectly. Always store the salted hash of the password -- never the password itself! It's so easy, even members of Mensa er .. can't .. figure it out.\n\nGawker used encryption incorrectly. The odd choice of archaic DES encryption meant that the passwords they saved were all truncated to 8 characters. No matter how long your password actually was, you only had to enter the first 8 characters for it to work. So much for choosing a secure pass phrase. Encryption is only as effective as the person using it. I'm not smart enough to use encryption, either, as you can see in Why Isn't My Encryption.. Encrypting?\n\nGawker asked users to create a username and password on their site. The FAQ they posted about the breach has two interesting clarifications:\n\n\n\n2) What if I logged in using Facebook Connect? Was my password compromised?\nNo. We never stored passwords of users who logged in using Facebook Connect.\n3) What if I linked my Twitter account with my Gawker Media account? Was my Twitter password compromised?\nNo. We never stored Twitter passwords from users who linked their Twitter accounts with their Gawker Media account.\n\n\nThat's right, people who used their internet driver's license to authenticate on these sites had no security problems at all! Does the need to post a comment on Gizmodo really justify polluting the world with yet another username and password? It's only the poor users who decided to entrust Gawker with a unique username and 'secure' password who got compromised.\n\n\n\n(Beyond that, \"don't be a jerk\" is good advice to follow in  business as well as your personal life. I find that you generally get back what you give. When your corporate mission is to succeed by exploiting every quasi-legal trick in the book, surely you can't be surprised when you get the same treatment in return.)\n\n\nBut honestly, as much as we can point and laugh at Gawker and blame them for this debacle, there is absolutely nothing unique or surprising about any of this. Regular readers of my blog are probably bored out of their minds by now because I just trotted out a whole bunch of blog posts I wrote 3 years ago. Again. \n\n\nHere's the dirty truth about website passwords: the internet is full of websites exactly like the Gawker network. Let's say you have good old traditional username and passwords on 50 different websites. That's 50 different programmers who all have different ideas of how your password should be stored. I hope for your sake you used a different (and extremely secure) password on every single one of those websites. Because statistically speaking, you're screwed.\n\n\nIn other words, the more web sites you visit, the more networks you touch and trust with a username and password combination -- the greater the odds that at least one of those networks will be compromised exactly like Gawker was, and give up your credentials for the world to see. At that point, unless you picked a strong, unique password on every single site you've ever visited, the situation gets ugly.\n\n\nThe bad news is that most users don't pick strong passwords. This has been proven time and time again, and the Gawker data is no different. Even worse, most users re-use these bad passwords across multiple websites. That's how this ugly Twitter worm suddenly appeared on the back of a bunch of compromised Gawker accounts. \n\n\n\n\n\nNow do you understand why I've been so aggressive about promoting the concept of the internet driver's license? That is, logging on to a web site using a set of third party credentials from a company you can actually trust to not be utterly incompetent at security? Sure, we're centralizing risk here to, say, Google, or Facebook -- but I trust Google a heck of a lot more than I trust J. Random Website, and this really is no different in practice than having password recovery emails sent to your GMail account. \n\n\nI'm not here to criticize Gawker. On the contrary, I'd like to thank them for illustrating in broad, bold relief the dirty truth about website passwords: we're all better off without them. If you'd like to see a future web free of Gawker style password compromises -- stop trusting every random internet site with a unique username and password! Demand that they allow you to use your internet driver's license -- that is, your existing Twitter, Facebook, Google, or OpenID credentials -- to log into their website.\n\n\n\n \n \n[advertisement] JIRA Studio - SVN hosting, issue tracking, CI and Google Apps integration.

Instead they provide an easy way to query, or list data based upon an index, making the data easier to graph. The most common use of a data query within Cacti is to retrieve a list of network interfaces via SNMP. If you want to graph the traffic of a network interface, first Cacti must retrieve a list of interfaces on the host. Second, Cacti can use that information to create the necessary graphs and data sources. Data queries are only concerned with the first step of the process, that is obtaining a list of network interfaces and not creating the graphs/data sources for them. While listing network interfaces is a common use for data queries, they also have other uses such as listing partitions, processors, or even cards in a router.","saved":"2010-12-09T18:52:33Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4277855fabbc24fad2da06af9c334666","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ae22bd702c47/","kind":"page"},

I have this process fairly well streamlined. I click on a bookmarklet, it grabs the headline and URL and shoots it to an app on one of my servers. It shortens the URL and then sends it to twitter.com, where it all appears in my status box. I edit it, and click the Tweet button and off it goes.\n\nAnother app checks in with Twitter every five minutes to see if I've posted anything new and if it has a link in it. If it does, it is saved in a database. This database has been going since April 2009.\n\nOn Monday I added another element to the flow. Now the current day's tweets-with-links are pushed to a post on Protoblogger.com, which is a site running on wordpress.com. The connection is very simple, through the MetaWeblog API. So now there's another way to get my links, without going through Twitter.\n\nThe links have been available via RSS for quite some time.\n","saved":"2010-12-08T16:21:20Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e0e238e3fa8f0233a2f7c726201599c4","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f47035470fcf/","kind":"page"},

That said, the thought recently occurred to me that, when I did do one, I wanted it to be a bit different and have a greater purpose than simply participating in the rampant consumerism of the season.\n\n\nThen, the other day, an idea occurred to me. My life has blessed me with many talented, creative, and industrious friends. Many of these fine folks have businesses and products to sell that deserve attention. Therefore, what better time of year, and what better occasion as my first gift guide, then to shine a light on them and encourage you to buy some gifts for others (or even a little something for yourself).\n\n\nPen and Paper\n\n\nEveryone who knows me, knows how much I love nice pens and paper. They are one of my life’s most fulfilling luxuries. Trust me on this, once you experience what it is to write on high grade paper with a beautiful pen and nice ink, you will never for get it. Thankfully, I have some friends who can help in this area:\n\n\nIdea Cafe – My friend Chris Bowler is the proprietor of this online shop dedicated to equipping creative types like myself with some of the finest paper goods available. There are even some pre-packaged notebook bundles that are perfect for gift giving.\n\n\nPear Tree Pens – If you are looking for some quality pens and ink, this is where you should go. Run by my friend Ryan who taught me just about everything I know about pens and ink.\n\n\nLevenger – Another excellent source for not only pen and ink but a variety of goods for the writer, reader and beyond. I’ve been a customer for almost 20 years. Heck, my desk essentially looks like a Levenger advertisement. That said, I’m now also proud and humbled to consider the founder Steve Leveen a friend.\n\n\nPhotography\n\n\nI also love good photography and am thankful to have the works of the following two artists gracing my walls:\n\n\nJorge Quinteros – My friend Jorge does amazing photography. Seriously, there is not a single print he sells that does not deserve a special place in your home or office. Conveniently, you can also buy some of his work at Idea Cafe as well.\n\n\nMichael Armstrong – What I love about Michael’s photography is that it is all about the Twin Cities or Minneapolis/Saint Paul (where we live). So many of the shots are things I have passed by but never noticed before. That said, one does not have to live here to appreciate their beauty.\n\n\nMusic\n\n\nI actually know a number of musicians but only one has a recent release that I think deserves your Christmas dollars:\n\n\nBoss Rebel – The band of my good friend Pat Dryburgh. It’s got a good beat and you can dance to it. Go give it a listen. What more do you need?\n\n\nBooks\n\n\nWe have a home filled with books and I’m lucky enough to know an increasing numbers of authors and fellow writers:\n\n\nWriting Assignments by Randy Murray – Look, writing is a craft. Like any craft or skill, it takes practice. Practice is often best when it is guided. That is what this is. A collection of fun, guided writing exercises that will improve you as a writer. It does not matter if you are a budding writer or well established. I even contributed a lesson or two.\n\n\niPad Means Business by Julio Ojeda-Zapata – This is an invaluable resource for the person in your life who either has an iPad or will be getting one under the tree and they want to know how to use it to get “real work” done. I wrote one of the forwards for this book. It’s great.\n\n\nUnclutter Your Life in One Week by Erin Doland – I don’t think Erin will mind that I consider her a friend. Especially in order to highlight one of the most useful, sensible and practical books on reducing clutter and friction in your life. Fantastic book filled with many “a ha!” moments.\n\n\nThe Power of Less by Leo Babauta– Leo has just released another book called Focus but I still think this is the more accessible of his works. Sane advice about the benefits of living with, and simply living, a life with less.\n","saved":"2010-12-06T15:34:36Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"6ed11aac692e181a6c8e244f4ceabc0c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/69aa49b015e3/","kind":"page"},

The category that's led by WordPress, Typepad and Blogger (and Posterous and Tumblr and certainly others). \n\nAlong the way a bunch of features fell by the wayside. One of them in particular is so important I'd like to pitch all the vendors of today's blogging tools. If one of them does, I'll put at least a year (Murphy-willing) into developing tools that work with the feature. I think that's a pretty good deal, when you realize how little work the feature will take. \n\nHere's the deal. You all support the MetaWeblog API. That's great. When I save a blog post using newPost or editPost, allow me to include in the struct a new element called postSource, which contains the source code for the post. This is not executable code like Java or Python or C, its structured text in XML form that the post was rendered from. \n\nThat's the punchline, now here's the background.\n\nThere's a lot of power in separating content from the rendering of the content. All of today's blogging tools have that concept to a degree. A series of posts flows through a set of templates and is rendered into a set of pages that are part of the blog website. But the posts themselves don't have the separation. When you write the post you're writing in HTML. For most people, most of the time, that's what they want. But if we have the ability to make tools that have the separation, we can build higher-level, more powerful editors that are also easier. In fact, I already have such an editor. I just can't use it with your blogging environment.\n\nYou just have to store the XML text along with the HTML text, and when I getPost, send it back to me. It's a black box you don't have to look into (but you should probably verify that it's just XML and not executable bits).\n","saved":"2010-12-05T16:32:55Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2a7fb1e6d86fa9183f98188fc709113c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1fca034de1f0/","kind":"page"},

You get the analytics as part of every add on package, including the $19/month Plus service.\n\nThere are four main parts of the analytics service; snapshot, activity, people, and network. It's the network tab that has me the most interested. I'm always curious where the most active AVC community members hang out when they are not on AVC. Since Disqus is first and foremost a commenting system, \"hanging out\" means commenting for the purposes of this post.\n\nHere's the answer:\n\n\n\nI'd like to see more than the top six. Ideally I'd like to see the top 25 or more. But this is a good start. Happily I call each of these bloggers a friend, and one of them is my wife. If we had a dinner party with this group, it would be a blast. I'd sit Dave Winer next to Mark Suster and Howard Lindzon just to make things interesting.\n\nThis suggests a whole new set of features for Disqus. If they know the communities with the greatest overlap with this community, they can and should build network tools so that readers of this blog are aware of what is going on across the network. If there's a great post/conversation going on at Suster's blog, we should know about that here at AVC and have a quick link to get there from here.\n\nFortunately the team at Disqus knows that. I'm not announcing any features here. But I am pointing out that communities like AVC don't exist in a vacuum and there is a network of communities out there and Disqus is powering most if not all of them. And so there's a lot Disqus can do to make the network come to life in powerful ways. I'm looking forward to watching them do just that.","saved":"2010-11-30T11:25:35Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"752806fc3e5559d2515330051750852c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4b3bf7a283ed/","kind":"page"},

Now you can explore your childhood home, visit distant lands or scope out your next vacation spot with even more realistic tools.In Google Earth 6, we’re taking realism in the virtual globe to the next level with two new features: a truly integrated Street View experience and 3D trees.  We’ve also made it even easier to browse historical imagery.  Over the next several days on our LatLong blog, we’ll be digging deeper into these great new features, but here’s an overview to whet your appetite.Integrated Street ViewWhen Google Earth was first introduced, people were wowed by the ability to virtually fly from outer space right down to the roof of their house.  While flying over rooftops gives you a super-human view of our world, the ground level is where we experience our daily lives.  We took our first baby steps toward bringing the Google Earth experience to street level with our implementation of Street View in Google Earth in 2008, which enabled flying into Street View panoramas.  In Google Earth 6, the Street View experience is now fully integrated, so you can journey from outer space right to your doorstep in one seamless flight.Now, you’ll notice that Pegman is docked right alongside the navigation controls—an ever-present travel companion ready whenever you want to get your feet on the street and take a virtual walk around.  Just pick up Pegman and drop him wherever you see a highlighted blue road to fly right down to the ground.  Once there, you can use the navigation controls or your mouse to look around.  And unlike our earlier Street View layer, you can now move seamlessly from one location to another as if you’re walking down the street by using the scroll-wheel on your mouse or the arrow keys on your keyboard.  If you want to visit somewhere farther away, simply click the “exit” button and you’ll immediately return to an aerial view where you can easily fly to your next destination.Drag and drop Pegman to enter Street View.  The blue lines indicate where Street View imagery is available.3D treesI think we can all agree that our planet without trees would be a pretty desolate place.  Besides the ever-important task of providing us with the oxygen we breathe, trees are an integral part of the landscape around us.  In Google Earth, while we and our users have been busy populating the globe with many thousands of 3D building models, trees have been rather hard to come by.  All that is changing with Google Earth 6, which includes beautifully detailed, 3D models for dozens of species of trees, from the Japanese Maple to the East African Cordia to my personal favorite, the cacao tree.  While we’ve just gotten started planting trees in Google Earth, we already have more than 80 million trees in places such as Athens, Berlin, Chicago, New York City, San Francisco and Tokyo.  Through our Google Earth Outreach program, we’ve also been working with organizations including the Green Belt Movement in Africa, the Amazon Conservation Team in Brazil and CONABIO in Mexico to model our planet’s threatened forests.To enjoy these leafy additions to Google Earth, make sure you turn on the 3D buildings layer on the left side panel.  As a starting point, try a search for “Palace of Fine Arts San Francisco.”  Once you arrive at your destination, click the zoom slider. You’ll then be taken down to the ground where you can use our new ground-level navigation to walk among the trees.3D trees in San Francisco, CaliforniaEasy-to-use historical imageryOne of the features people told us they liked best in Google Earth 5 was the availability of historical imagery, which enables you to visually go back in time to see such things as Warsaw in 1935, London in 1945, and Port-au-Prince Haiti before and after the devastating earthquake of January 2010.  But it wasn’t always obvious when historical imagery was available for a particular place, making this feature one of Google Earth’s lesser-known gems.So with this new version, we’ve made it very easy to discover historical imagery.  When you fly to an area where historical imagery is available, the date of the oldest imagery will appear in the status bar at the bottom of the screen. If you click on this date, you’ll instantly be taken back in time to view imagery from that time period.  You can then browse through all the historical imagery available for that location, or simply close the time control and return to the default view.The site of Google's Mountain View campus in 1948To download Google Earth 6, or to see videos of our newest features, visit http://earth.google.com.Posted by Peter Birch, Product Manager\n  \n","saved":"2010-11-29T18:47:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"cd7b78f4a2a09c6ef60cf43754857b81","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8594cbab937f/","kind":"page"},

Rather than creating a single gallery in the web module you instead design the look and feel of your entire site from there, and to actually create and upload a site you then use the Publish Services in the library module. By adding collections and collection sets to the publish service you can create a complete web site that includes a full structured hierarchy of galleries.  When images are added or modified the publish service will only upload the changes (unlike the web module which needs to upload the whole site).  It’s really never been so easy to create a web site from within Lightroom, it’s never before been possible to create a gallery hierarchy using collections and sets, and no other web engines allow you to incrementally upload your changes to the site.  The are plenty of other pleasant surprises too, such as the use of Markdown formatted text to give you unprecedented control over the content on your page, and automatic generation of the scripts that handle contact forms.  By generating the gallery via the Publish Services rather than through the Web Module the plugins are able to handle tasks that are currently impossible for other Web Engines, and the resulting ease of creating and maintaining a site is astonishing.  The first plugin in the series to be made available is Timothy’s Impact Web Engine, however versions for Elegance and Jigasawrus will be coming soon.  More info can be found here:  Impact WSPP : http://photographers-toolbox.com/products/impact_wspp.php Information about the  Web Site Publisher Pro series: http://photographers-toolbox.com/products/wspp.php  Here are a couple of demonstration sites:  http://photographers-toolbox.com/products/wspp/seriesofseries/  To really show of the power of this new plugin Peter Karlsson managed to create this incredible website with less than a day’s work, including establishing the design and creating the gallery hierarchy.

The most disruptive thing about the API (Application Programming Interface, a means of offering easy programatic access) is how accessible it makes information that marketers have paid a lot of money for in the past.\n\nSponsor\n\n\nIn an email to Rapleaf developers today, the company wrote:\nDevelopers can now get access to Rapleaf's new Personalization API.  You can query the API with an email or postal address and get access to information on a person like:\n\n\n\nDemographics (like age, gender, location, more)\nLifestyle (income, presence of children, occupation, home ownership, more)\nSocial (like influencer score, more)\nInterests (like pets, sports, smart phone users, luxury items, music, movies, more)\n\nThe responses are now in JSON and configurable based on what your application needs.\n\nIt's unclear what the influencer score is based on.\n\n\nWhat if it Was Easy?\n\n\"Anyone can go to infousa.com and download that data, for a hefty fee,\" says independent data consultant Pete Warden, \"but by offering the same information through a simple API, Rapleaf makes it both far easier to use (or exploit if you prefer) and much more visible to the end users.\"\n\n\nPublicizing Personal Data, When is it OK?\n\nIs it justifiable in cases of the 'greater good?' \n\n\n\"I've opposed that line of reasoning when used to justify reneging on an explicit privacy promise. But when it comes to a promise that was never actually made but merely intuitively understood (or mis-understood) by users, I think the question is different, and my stance is softer. Privacy needs to be weighed against the benefit to society from 'publicizing' data -- disseminating, aggregating and analyzing it.\" \n\n\n-Arvind Narayanan, Is Making Public Data \"More Public\" a Privacy Violation?\n\n\nRapleaf has long offered other personal information like links to the social network profiles associated with email adresses.  Innovative startups like Rapportive and Gist use Rapleaf data and demonstrate that there are incredibly positive things that can be build on top of this data.  (You should go try both of those apps if you haven't yet.)\n\n\nRapportive places information about email senders in the sidebar of your email, like their photo and social network profile links.  Company CEO Rahul Vohra's response to my inquiry about putting this new Rapleaf info in the email sidebars of his users? \"Hell no.\"  I asked (in most part) as a joke, but Vohra said that he could imagine such a feature being offered to premium customers someday.  \n\n\nFor now the data is most useful to direct marketers, he said.  Software that shows you the income level of anyone who sends you an email?  \"The world isn't ready, that's for sure,\" Vohra said.  \"I imagine most people regard that as sensitive, but would be OK with it behind a pay barrier.  Part of what makes Rapportive awesome is that it's free for end-users; I wonder how people would react if a startup found out how to make this data free.\"  \n\n\nProbably not well - but it would be interesting, wouldn't it?\n\n\nOpt-out vs. Opt-in\n\nRelated: Location Data Privacy and the Risks of Legislation\n\n(Related because data is an emerging platform.)\n\n\n\"Location data is just now being used to provide a growing number of critical governmental, societal and business services. The number and value of these services are increasing daily. Attempting to regulate the collection of location data without a full understanding of the technology and its vast potential could have a number of unintended consequences, including limiting the development of a number of critical governmental services. Such opportunity costs should be fully understood and explored before regulating location from a privacy standpoint. In addition, any such legislation should be narrowly tailored so as not to inhibit further growth of this important technology.\"\n\n\n-Kevin Pomfret, Executive Director of the Centre for Spatial Law and Policy\n\nChris Dixon, co-founder of personalization service Hunch.com, takes a very different approach.\n\"I believe the (desktop & mobile) web will become increasingly personalized,\" he told us, \n\"and it will either be done in an opt-out way - through cookies and behind-the-scenes data trading that is out of the users' control - or it will be done in a way that is fully opt-in and users have full control of their personal information.  Hunch is a completely premised on the opt-in, give-users-control approach.  It takes longer for our approach to get to critical mass but we think will be worth the wait.   All of our deals are and will be opt in. \n\nRapleaf is opt-out, making available data harvested from all around the web. (For Rapleaf's side of the story about its practices, see the company's blog.) \n\n\nThis could be an incredible platform for innovation - or it could be a controversial way for marketers to make a quick grab of more information about you than you wish they had.  They always had it, but now it's a lot cheaper and easier to get. That should mean that new innovators should be able to build incredible things we'll like - if the market has enough imagination to do more than just go for the crass money grab of direct marketing.  Right now there are too few good examples of positive developments of beneficial software, social self-awareness, injustices rooted-out and opportunities discovered thanks to programmatically available personal information.  That may or may not change in time.\n\n\nRapleaf was reported last month to have raised $15 million more in venture capital. \n\n\nSee Also: Meet the Firehose Seven Thousand Times Bigger Than Twitter's - Your Mobile Phone's Passive Signals\n\nDiscuss\n\n       \n","saved":"2010-11-25T02:00:01Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"9c30e23beecc90bcf4f884aada753c40","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4c7a0001e3a1/","kind":"page"},

Best, obviously, is subjective, and what this list comprises is a selection of my favourites and reader favourites (as judged by the number of notes they got on Tumblr). Enjoy! (Hint: Open this in your browser, each link has a read later button next to it.)\n\n\n\n\nWhat Makes a Great Teacher?\nAmanda Ripley, The Atlantic\n\nFor years, the secrets to great teaching have seemed more like alchemy than science, a mix of motivational mumbo jumbo and misty-eyed tales of inspiration and dedication. But for more than a decade, one organization has been tracking hundreds of thousands of kids, and looking at why some teachers can move them three grade levels ahead in a year and others can’t. Now, as the Obama administration offers states more than $4 billion to identify and cultivate effective teachers, Teach for America is ready to release its data.\n\nCan You Disappear in Surveillance Britain?\nJean-Paul Flintoff, The Times\n\nDavid Bond wanted to see if it’s possible to vanish so one day he packed his bag, got into his car and kissed his wife goodbye.\n\nNo Angel, No Devil\nBrantley Hargrove, Nashville Scene\n\nOnce a wife and mother in a deceptively perfect home, Gaile Owens is now the first woman sentenced to die in Tennessee in nearly 200 years.\n\nWhat Happened When I Went Undercover at a Christian Gay-to-Straight Conversion Camp\nTed Cox, Alternet\n\nWhat I saw and experienced at JiM both enraged and disturbed me. I had trouble staying in character as I watched one man, as part of his therapy, act out beating his father to death with a baseball bat — just one of several “Are you kidding?” moments. How anyone could believe that a JiM weekend could turn a man straight still baffles me.\n\nThe Wrong Man\nDavid Freed, The Atlantic\n\nIn the fall of 2001, a nation reeling from the horror of 9/11 was rocked by a series of deadly anthrax attacks. As the pressure to find a culprit mounted, the FBI, abetted by the media, found one. The wrong one. This is the story of how federal authorities blew the biggest anti-terror investigation of the past decade.\n\nWhodunnit?\nJon Ronson, The Guardian\n\nCriminal profilers were once the heroes of police work, nailing offenders with their astonishing psychological insights. So why did it all fall apart?\n\nSecret of AA: After 75 Years, We Don’t Know How It Works\nBrendan I. Koerner, Wired\n\nAA and its steps have become ubiquitous despite the fact that no one is quite sure how—or, for that matter, how well—they work. The organization is notoriously difficult to study, thanks to its insistence on anonymity and its fluid membership. And AA’s method, which requires “surrender” to a vaguely defined “higher power,” involves the kind of spiritual revelations that neuroscientists have only begun to explore.\n\nBoom\nSean Flynn, GQ\n\nLost in the catastrophic aftermath of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is the gripping tale of the rig workers and the Coast Guard crewmen who rescued them.\n\nThe High Is Always the Pain and the Pain Is Always the High\nJay Caspian Kang, The Morning News\n\nGambling addiction is a simple disease. Living the addiction is a bit more complicated. A chronicle of dependency in seven parts, by Jay Caspian King, about poker, Lolita, and how to lose $18,000 in 36 hours.\n\nDog Beat Dog\nKeegan Hamilton, Phoenix New Times\n\nTo pull off the biggest pit bull fighting bust in U.S. history, investigators and their dogs went undercover.\n\nWashington, We Have a Problem\nTodd Purdum, Vanity Fair\n\nA day in the life of the president reveals that Barack Obama’s job would be almost unrecognizable to most of his predecessors—thanks to the enormous bureaucracy, congressional paralysis, systemic corruption (with lobbyists spending $3.5 billion last year), and disintegrating media.\n\nThe Deadly Corruption of Clinical Trials\nCarl Elliott, Mother Jones\n\nWhen you risk life and limb to help test a drug, are you helping science—or Big Pharma? One patient’s tragic, and telling, story.\n\nThe Brain That Changed Everything\nLuke Dittrich, Esquire\n\nWhen a surgeon cut into Henry Molaison’s skull to treat him for epilepsy, he inadvertently created the most important brain-research subject of our time — a man who could no longer remember, who taught us everything we know about memory. Six decades later, another daring researcher is cutting into Henry’s brain. Another revolution in brain science is about to begin.\n\nWhat Killed Aiyana Stanley-Jones?\nCharlie LeDuff, Mother Jones\n\nA nighttime raid. A reality TV crew. A sleeping seven-year-old. What one tragedy can teach us about the unraveling of America’s middle class.\n\n\n\nIf you feel like I missed anything, or have a nomination of your own, or indeed disagree with any of my selections, please feel free to send me an e-mail or tweet at me; I’m not averse to updating the list a little.\n","saved":"2010-11-23T19:39:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"19b3bf76ca33d6b0a3820904f87a9889","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7f6fdcf99adf/","kind":"page"},
{"id":"4e2bf25c22a5","hash":"4e2bf25c22a5eb51dd9cd828a10dc5ea","url":"http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/431","title":"An Update on Encrypted UIDs","note":"Last month, we outlined an initial proposal to address the inadvertent sharing of User IDs (UIDs) via the HTTP Referral header.  Further, we announced our intention to provide a unique, but anonymous mechanism that developers can use with third-party service providers.  Over the past few weeks, we have received feedback from the developer community, which we have used to refine our proposals.  Today, we are providing an updated proposal for handling inadvertent UID sharing and releasing a new mechanism for legitimate and anonymous sharing with third-parties.\n\n\nIframe POST Proposal\nCurrently, we pass iframe applications the ‘fb_sig_user’ query string parameter in the URL.  This allows the application to identify the user and create customized, social experience.  Due to the way browsers work, this information in the URL can be inadvertently passed in the HTTP Referrer header when someone clicks a link within the iframe.\n\n\nOur initial proposal to address this issue  used encryption as a means to protect against this inadvertent sharing, but still passed this encrypted UID in the URL.  After talking with the community, we have updated our proposed solution to use a different mechanism that provides better protection for users while minimizing the impact on existing applications and eliminates the need to use encryption libraries. \n\n\nIn short, this new proposal embeds the UID in a HTTP POST body ensuring that it will not be exposed in any HTTP Referrer header whatsoever (encrypted or otherwise).  We do this by creating a <form/> element targeted at the application Canvas URL:\n\n\n<form target=\"canvas_iframe\" action=\"http://example.com/\" id=\"canvas_form\">\n<input name=\"fb_sig_user\" value=\"1234\" type=\"hidden\" />\n</form>\n<iframe name=\"canvas_iframe\"></iframe>\n<script>\ndocument.getElementById(\"canvas_form\").submit()\n</script>\n\n\nThis change will require minimal effort for developers and addresses the feedback that we have received to date.  You can learn more about this change on the POST for Canvas page.\n\n\nThis is still a proposal from us and we welcome feedback on the approach.  We have, however, implemented this change, so developers can understand how this proposal will impact their applications.  You can test this change by turning on the “POST for Canvas (Beta)” migration on the Advanced tab of the Developer Application.  We plan on gathering feedback over the next two weeks and then determine if/when to require this mechanism for all applications.\n\n\nThird-Party IDs\nFacebook has never and will never sell user information, and we expressly prohibit Platform developers from passing any data from Facebook to data brokers.  There are, however, practical reasons that developers will need to share information with a legitimate third party.  For example, a game developer might need a way to identify that a user has taken an action on a partner website (e.g., completed an offer) so that the person can receive virtual goods.  For this reason, we have developed a mechanism for developers to obtain an anonymous but unique identifier for their users, which we call a third-party identifier.\n\n\nDevelopers can obtain a third-party identifier through either the Graph API or FQL:\n\n\nGraph API\nGet the third-party identifier from my User object:  http://graph.facebook.com/dmp?fields=third_party_id&access_token=[access_token]\n\n\nGet the third-party identifier for two users: \nhttp://graph.facebook.com/?ids=dmp,vernal&fields=third_party_id&access_token=[access_token]\n\n\nFQL\nGet the third-party identifier from the user table: https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query=select third_party_id from user where username =\"dmp\"&access_token=[access_token]\n\n\nGet the third-party identifier for two users:\nhttps://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query=select third_party_id from user where (username =\"dmp\" or username=\"vernal\")&access_token=[access_token]\n\n\nThese identifiers may be shared with permitted third parties, but like all data from Facebook, they are also prohibited from sharing with data brokers.  We encourage developers to move to this mechanism quickly, and we will require it as of January 1, 2011.\n\n\nIf you have comments or questions about either the iframe POST proposal or our third-party identifier feature, please use the comments found below.\n\n\nMike Vernal is Director of Engineering for Facebook Platform.\n","saved":"2010-11-23T19:25:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4a4ff13eb3b8939d935666d47cc313bd","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4e2bf25c22a5/","kind":"page"},

But Sir Tim Berners-Lee — the man who created the web 20 years ago next month, on his desktop computer in Geneva — says there are threats to the freedom of the web all around us, and that we need to fight them in the same way we fight to protect our freedoms in the real world.\n\nWhere are those online threats coming from? Berners-Lee says, “large social-networking sites are walling off information posted by their users from the rest of the Web,” in what appears to be a clear reference to Facebook’s walled-garden approach to sharing things like the email addresses of its users, and he later mentions Facebook specifically as “a silo.” The other potential threats, he says, include wireless Internet providers who are “being tempted to slow traffic to sites with which they have not made deals,” and also governments — totalitarian and democratic alike — who are “monitoring people’s online habits [and] endangering important human rights.”\n\nThe father of the web even takes what appears to be a thinly veiled shot at Apple, saying if the trends he’s describing toward more closed environments on the web aren’t checked, “we could lose the freedom to connect with whichever Web sites we want [and] the ill effects could extend to smartphones and pads, which are also portals to the extensive information that the Web provides.” Later in the piece, he mentions Apple specifically as one of the companies that doesn’t support open linking to things like songs within iTunes. He says most magazine iPad apps are “closed worlds” because they also fail to allow for links or sharing of content.\n\n\n\nIn some ways, Berners-Lee’s list of threats to the open web sound very much like the  recent Wired magazine piece entitled “The Web is Dead,” which also looked at the rise of apps and the move towards AOL-style walled gardens. Wired’s piece got some criticism from many (including me) because it seemed to be  overly negative, especially since much of what the magazine described as non-web — smartphone apps and so on — still depends on web protocols, even if they are hidden from view. But Berners-Lee echoes Wired’s concerns about large players controlling access to information in various ways.\n\nOthers have raised similar warning flags about potential threats to the open web from giant information quasi-monopolies such as Google, Facebook and Apple — including Tim Wu, the Columbia University law professor who coined the term “net neutrality,” and warns in his recent book The Master Switch that instead of a monument to the open market, the Internet is starting to look “like a Monopoly board,” and that the Internet may even tend to favor monopolies.\n\nNot everyone agrees, however, that Google or Facebook are actually monopolies in any kind of legal sense, although they are definitely dominant players. And while Google is clearly a web giant, Yahoo and AOL were once web giants too, and they are shadows of their former selves now, displaced by completely new players. Even Facebook, which is now seen as one of the companies to be afraid of, is threatened in many ways by Twitter — a startup that barely even existed a few years ago and is now reportedly valued at close to $3 billion.\n\nThat said, it’s worth being reminded that large players often see it as being in their interests to restrict the freedom of their users, and that — as Berners-Lee warns in his Scientific American piece — this can chip away at the web’s core principles, which he says revolve around “a profound concept: that any person could share information with anyone else, anywhere.” If that becomes circumscribed by the companies controlling the flow of that information, he says, “the Web could be broken into fragmented islands.” Why should we care about these potential incursions into the open web? Berners-Lee says:\n\nBecause the Web is yours. It is a public resource on which you, your business, your community and your government depend. The Web is also vital to democracy, a communications channel that makes possible a continuous worldwide conversation. The Web is now more critical to free speech than any other medium. It brings principles established in the U.S. Constitution, the British Magna Carta and other important documents into the network age: freedom from being snooped on, filtered, censored and disconnected.\n\nMore critical to free speech than any other medium? That’s a strong claim — but there’s certainly an argument to be made that the web fits that definition. The ability to send information to anyone, to link to content wherever it exists, and to publish almost instantly seems so commonplace now that we forget how important it is, in almost exactly the same way democracy itself is important. It’s good to be reminded, and Tim Berners-Lee is certainly the one who is best equipped to do so.\n\nRelated GigaOM Pro content (sub req’d):\n\n\nWhy Google Should Fear the Social Web\nLessons From Twitter: How to Play Nice With Ecosystem Partners\nWhat We Can Learn From the Guardian’s Open Platform\n\nPost and thumbnail photos courtesy of Flickr user Jonatas Cunha\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2010-11-19T20:06:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"c1f9ea2972e05c911f3c98218a8cbf3c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c38cd5e615d7/","kind":"page"},

The IGF is an experimental and influential multi-stakeholder policy forum convened by the United Nations Secretary General in 2006, where civil society, industry, the technical community, and decision makers discuss key aspects of Internet governance issues on an equal footing.  The informal nature of the IGF is designed to promote the full and frank exchange of ideas on important Internet policy issues without the knock-down-and-dragged-out conflicts that characterize other international fora where recommendations or binding treaties are made. This year, IGF brought together over 1,400 participants from around the world. Videos and  transcripts of all the official meetings are now online and make for interesting viewing.\n\nEFF participated in several panels and co-organized a workshop on The Future of Privacy together with the Internet Society. The speakers included representatives from the US Federal Trade Commission, the Spanish Data Protection Authority, the Council of Europe Consultative Committee of Convention 108, Oracle Corporation, the European Data Protection Supervisor, AT&T, Google, the Internet Society, and EFF. All of them expressed their views on existing laws and international frameworks on privacy, and helped to identify some of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.\n\nIn the workshop, EFF focused on several key areas where governments will be able to play a vital role in protecting their citizens' privacy both now and increasingly so in the future, including setting the right standards for government access to citizens’ private communications and related communications records. Here are a few of the points we highlighted:\n\n•       The law should protect the privacy of your data stored for you by a provider in the same way that it protects your data stored by you on your home or in your office. In an age where countless millions are trusting web-based email services such as Microsoft’s Hotmail to store years worth of private correspondence, and cloud services such as Google Docs to store their most private documents, it is time for privacy law to treat online storage as an extension of your own home or office. Privacy law has typically provided strong protections against government intrusion into information that you store offline personally. It should also provide strong safeguards for the data you store for a similar purpose with an online third party provider.\n\n•The law should include better protections for your traffic data. Typically, the contents of communications are strongly protected by privacy law whereas non-content transactional data, traffic data, or “meta-data” is typically given much less protection, even though it can be just as revealing. Monitoring of other data that is arguably transactional and not content -- such as the location of your cell phone, clickstream data revealing the web sites you visit, and search logs indicating what you searched for using Google or another search engine -- is just as invasive as reading your email or listening to your phone calls.\n\nEFF called on government officials to focus their analysis on the invasiveness of the surveillance techniques at issue, rather than deciding the appropriate level of privacy protection based on where the data is stored, or whether it is characterized as content or traffic data. Communications are communications, whether telephone conversations or e-mail messages. The mere fact that Internet communications leave more detailed traces should not entail less privacy protection vis-à-vis governments. We believe that  mandatory data retention regimes that compels ISPs and telcos to retain innocent citizens' Internet traffic data should be repealed.\n\nThe panel also discussed the revision of the EU Data Protection Directive, the Council of Europe's Privacy Convention 108—the first legally binding international privacy instrument, the harmonization and interoperability of privacy regimes in different countries, as well as the insights of the technical community. The comprehensive report produced jointly by EFF and ISOC contains more detailed information about the workshop participants' presentations and fascinating exchange of views on these subjects.\n\nThe IGF has provided a very useful venue for discussing these important global issues with key government and non-governmental stakeholders, but whether it will continue to do so in the future is currently unclear. At the end of this year, the United Nations' General Assembly will decide if it should extend the IGF's initial five-year mandate. The UN Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) is currently carrying out an open consultation on the ways in which to improve the Internet Governance Forum (IGF). A road map of the future CSTD work on IGF is now posted here. Stay tuned to Deeplinks for news and our thoughts on these breaking developments.\n","saved":"2010-11-17T23:22:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"863c0752ce24d03aae1325b1251bd298","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b1192cc85b8a/","kind":"page"},

They were part of the team working on the new Messages product Facebook launched yesterday, according to Zenbe.\n\nYesterday, the social network overhauled its private, one-to-one messaging system, re-imagining Facebook as a central hub of informal, social communications through e-mail, text and chat.\n\nZenbe, a New York-based startup, was known for experimenting with new forms of collaborative communication. Last year, the startup launched a product called Shareflow, which lets users see a flow of communication around specific topics.\n\n“A few months ago, three of our engineers joined Facebook as part of a talent acquisition,” Zenbe said in a statement on its blog. “We believe that messaging and collaboration on the web are on the cusp of a new wave of innovation, and we’re excited to be playing a role in that.”\n\nWhile there had been ongoing discussions for years about how to revamp Messages, efforts began in earnest earlier this year as the company began assembling a 15-person engineering team — the biggest ever involved in a single project.\n\n","saved":"2010-11-16T20:10:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e9a7cb7e933635b304898a42339af0c9","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e8be9b44ab16/","kind":"page"},

Again.","note":"In 2005, Jesse James Garrett at Adaptive Path published the seminal blog \"Ajax: A New Approach to Web Applications\" and ushered in new age of web architecture.  Ajax meant using the possibilities latent in JavaScript (specifically, the XMLHttpRequest object) so that a web page could contact the server asynchronously and request new data.\n\n\nThis was revolutionary; within months, we were seeing pages that were more dynamic and interactive. Ajax short-circuited the submit/response loop that dominated web applications up to that time.  Instead of making an HTTP request, receiving an entire web page, and rendering that page as a replacement for the current page, the browser requested a chunk of data. It used that chunk of data to interact with the DOM and rewrite the page it was displaying on the fly.\n\n\n\nAround the same time, the RESTful paradigm started taking hold. REST represented a much simpler, web-oriented way for servers to interact with their clients.  As Roy Fielding pointed out in his dissertation, the basic operations of the HTTP protocol were capable of providing general access to data; stateful applications could be built upon stateless protocols; hypermedia could be used to maintain application state.  Although Fielding's dissertation dates back to 2000, it took a few years of bad experience with SOAP and its heirs to realize its importance.  With REST, it becomes easier for a website to see itself as a source of data for machines to process, rather than as a source of content for humans to read. Websites become data servers.  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe HTML page you get from the new Twitter is largely a bunch of empty divs, with a big wad of JavaScript. The JavaScript is the entire application.\n\n\nImportant as Ajax and REST have been to the history of the web, each only represents half of a larger revolution.  And in the past few months, we've seen some new sites that have taken the revolution to its logical conclusion.  Specifically: take a look at the new Twitter.  It's a nice web application, sure -- but look at the HTML.  There's not much there.  The HTML page you get from Twitter is largely a bunch of empty divs, with a big wad of JavaScript.  What's happening?  The JavaScript is the entire application; the divs exist only to provide tags so the JavaScript can rewrite the DOM at will.  In turn, the JavaScript is constantly (and asynchronously) making requests from the Twitter site, which is just returning data from its API.  In fact, the Twitter site is returning the same data for its web page that it would return for its mobile app, for TweetDeck, or for any of the apps in the Twitter ecosystem. \n\n\n\nThis design isn't particularly new; we've seen it ever since developers started reverse-engineering GMail and Google Maps to get ideas for their own projects.  Those big Google apps may have been the first examples of this architectural trend. They were certainly among the first to use JavaScript as a full-fledge client programming language.  But we're seeing many more sites built along these lines.  Why now, what does this shift mean, and why is it important?\n\n\n\n\"Why now\" is perhaps the easiest question to answer.  A few short years ago, web developers only had one platform to support, and that was the \"browser.\"  Granted, there were a dozen or so browsers of significance, and the browser world was riddled with incompatibilities.  We're in a different world now.  Browser compatibilities have been ironed out, to some extent (though conscientious developers still support \"legacy\" browsers, all the way back to IE6 or even IE5).  But it's no news that the most important new apps these days run on devices ranging from phones (iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone), tablets (iPad, Android/ChromeOS devices), and potentially ebook readers and other new devices.  With these new devices on the table, browser incompatibilities pale in significance.  It's another sign of the times that I can't conceive of an interesting application that doesn't access data across the network.  A static application that never accesses remote data -- that's so 1990s.\n\n\nSo, while it's tempting to say that the new age is characterized by the browser as platform, and that applications running in the browser can do anything that native code can do, that's looking in the wrong place.  HTML5 certainly ups the ante, as far as browser capabilities -- and is supported to some extent by all of the other devices we're concerned with.  But the real meaning and importance of this architectural shift is on the server side, driven both by the need to support many heterogenous device and application types, and by the primacy of live data in modern applications.\n\n\n\nRelated books and videos\n\nAjax\n-- Head First Ajax\n-- Ajax, TDG\n\n\nREST\n-- Rest in Practice   \n-- RESTful Web Services    \n-- RESTful Web Service Cookbook\n\n\nHTML5\n-- HTML5: Up and Running  \n-- HTML5 Mobile Web Development (video)\nIn the browser-dominated world, static content and data were inevitably mixed.  Yes, we had templating systems that let developers separate static content and design elements from data.  But once the application server did its magic, what was delivered to the browser was HTML pages mixing data with other content.  Browsers were similar enough that, with some browser detection hacks on both the server and client side, it was relatively easy (though a pain) to generate pages that would run anywhere.  That doesn't work any more. It's naive to think that you can wrap some HTML around data and be done with the job; the chances are that you're leaving a huge chunk of your human audience behind, and making things more difficult for another audience -- machines that just want to consume your data.  To build a modern application, developers must focus on the data: they must see themselves as data providers, they must develop documented and stable public APIs for accessing their data.  Over the past few years, we've realized the importance of data.  What's the value of Google without the data behind it?  Or Facebook? Or, going back 15 or so years, GNN?  It took a long time for us to understand the importance of data, as opposed to \"content.\" But when you've gotten that lesson, your design goals change: designing and publishing a stable API to a data service becomes the highest priority.  \n\n\nThat's the driving force behind this architectural shift. Front ends, user interfaces, clients, apps, whatever you decide to call them, don't disappear.  But we have learned how important it is to keep the data interface separate from the user interface.  Your next project will probably have multiple front ends, some delivered through HTML5, and some delivered through native code. Building them on a common data API is going to be much cleaner and simpler.  In addition, third parties can build their own apps on top of your API. An important component of Twitter's success has been the ecosystem of applications that have built on their data: TweetDeck, TweetGrid, Tweetie, etc.; Twitdom, the Twitter applications directory, lists more than 1,800 apps.  Until the \"new Twitter\" went live, the Twitter website was significantly less capable than most of the third-party apps.\n\n\n\nAlthough it has been a long time coming, we're finally finishing the revolution that started with Ajax.  Get data that users care about, make it available via an API, provide a data presence that's distinct from your HTML-based web presence, and build multiple front ends to serve your customers, on whatever platforms they care about.  Your value is in the data.\n\n\n\nRelated:\n\n\n What is data science?\n The SMAQ stack for big data\n Data as a service\n Building data startups\n Lies, damn lies, and visualizations\n\n\n\n\n\n   \n","saved":"2010-11-16T18:00:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"65425b52cd6cf5816faf98b6c37c8204","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c65729bb27e5/","kind":"page"},

This is the second Startup Weekend to be held in the Twin Cities in the past few months. Minnesota startups like Qonqr,Rock Your Block, Heavy Analytics, Locate My Deal and others originated from the first Startup Weekend Twin Cities held in September.  Startup Weekend recruits a highly motivated group of developers, business managers, startup enthusiasts, marketing gurus, graphic artists and more to a 54 hour event that builds communities, companies and projects. It is an amazing opportunity to connect with other passionate and skilled individuals, and perhaps even find a co-founder or two to transform your idea into reality.  Augusoft President and CEO Cem Erdem will be a judge at this weekend’s event, and will also share his vision for Project Skyway.  We are excited to see who will be amongst Minnesota’s next class of Startup Weekend grads.

Fox, CNN, and ABC (and probably others, but I can't watch everything at once) are in agreement, apparently, that viewers are 5 years old and thus best able to absorb the events of the evening through brightly-colored graphics. Look! Look at the blue turn into red. That means things are changing!\n\nAnderson Cooper in particular was heavy on the \"Just look at all of this red, Wolf!\" commentary. Where there was once some blue there is now just a \"sea of red\", a metaphor he managed to use dozens of times without making a joke about the Red Sea. What AC and the gang were so breathlessly reporting underscores near total ignorance of a rapidly increasing trend in both presidential and midterm election years.\n\nThis is a county map of the Illinois Senate race. Say it with me, guys: Just look at all that red!!\n\n\n\nBearing in mind that the race was actually pretty close (48%-46%, with the final difference around 100,000 votes), note that the Democrat Giannoulias won three counties in Illinois. Three. Out of 102. One of them – St. Clair County, home of East St. Louis, he won by 0.1% (about 200 votes). Another, Alexander County, had all of 2400 votes cast. And then of course he won Cook County…by 450,000 votes. 450,000!\n\nBasically Giannoulias did what Democratic candidates always do in Illinois, and increasingly what Democratic candidates do in every state – win the major urban areas by so much that losing the entire rest of the state won't matter. Alexi G lost, of course, but the race was damn close. He came within a hair of winning and he lost 99 of 102 counties in the state. \n\nThis pattern reminds me of 2004, when John Kerry won a number of states in a similar fashion. In fact, nationwide Kerry won 583 counties…to Bush's 2,530. That is a margin of nearly five to one, yet the popular vote was within 2%. Among the 5 counties with the largest margin of victory for Kerry were San Francisco County, Washington D.C., and Bronx Borough. Bush's were Glasscock County, TX, Madison County, ID and other similarly fly-blown places. \n\nIn short, gaping at the color balance on the map is ridiculous because Republicans have proven beyond any doubt in the past 30 years that they are absolutely dominant in areas where no one lives. Huge, sparsely populated districts/counties/states are their cup of tea. And they win a ton of them. Democrats, on the other hand, make their victories count by winning – and winning big – where humans actually live. The level of intrastate polarization between rural and urban areas in modern elections is hard to overstate. It really boils down to city folk vs. country folk to a degree that might be unequaled in our history. \n\nYes, American elections have always been divided by some more-or-less clearly defined cleavage, be it North vs. South, Coasts vs. The Middle, or industry vs. agriculture. But in recent years, Obama's near-blowout in 2008 excepted, both parties have struggled to win votes beyond their rural and urban comfort zones. Even in the reddest Red State, Democrats do far better in urban areas. Even in the bluest Blue State, the rural areas are highly conservative. Elections end up turning on turnout differentials and the \"swing\" areas in the suburbs – which lean Republican far more often than not. \n\nThis raises an interesting question for Democratic strategists, and it is the primary ideological debate within the party at present. Does it make more sense to try to alter the message enough to achieve some nonzero level of success in rural areas, or should they just go all in on urban-focused liberal policy to maximize turnout in the cities? In other words, should they even try in rural areas or is it rational to say \"Ah, fuck it, let's just try to win Cook County by 550,000 next time\" given that a well-oiled turnout machine could feasibly accomplish the latter? Perhaps just as interesting is the question of which elections are \"normal\" and which are anomalous: the 2000-2004 years in which Democratic success was limited strictly to urban areas or 2006-2008, when they had success elsewhere? \n\nUnfortunately the results in 2010 suggest the former as the status quo, with the 2006-2008 results attributable mostly to anti-Bush sentiment and, in 2008, the spectacularly bad presidential ticket on the GOP side. This year snapped the Democrats back to their pattern of winning only in the cities and trying to make that hold up against the big ocean of rural red that so enthralls the crack professionals inside the Beltway.\n","saved":"2010-11-15T04:04:04Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"d59baa8c22fc38e43065b032c29354c3","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4a02bc397d2c/","kind":"page"},

They suggest eliminating tax breaks that, whatever you think of them, matter a lot to middle-class Americans  —  the deductibility of health benefits and mortgage interest  —  and using much of the revenue gained thereby, not to reduce the deficit, but to allow sharp reductions in both the top marginal tax rate and in the corporate tax rate.        \n\nIt will take time to crunch the numbers here, but this proposal clearly represents a major transfer of income upward, from the middle class to a small minority of wealthy Americans.

But if they start to suspect that we can't--well, we'll be in for an extremely rapid and unpleasant progression of events.I doubt that this is the final plan, but I suspect that it is like the final plan in most essential respects--most especially in that it will make almost everyone ferociously angry, and politicians will not be eager to vote for it.","saved":"2010-11-13T12:58:40Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4b0ae7de2901490a96065b249649ce8a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/568952afc3f7/","kind":"page"},

New York, for instance, is really quite average.\nThe findings come from a new way of ranking cities, based on one of the largest and most detailed sets of data on the world’s metropolitan areas.”\nSeems that a Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist, Luis M.A. Bettencourt and colleagues “…have now recalculated the violent crime, personal income, GDP and patent rankings for more than 350 US metropolitan areas. The new results reveal that some supposedly exceptional cities, such as New York, are in fact quite ordinary. Other less-heralded places, like Minneapolis, emerge as unusually successful.”\nConjecture by the team is that factors like top-flight universities encouraging creative thinking makes these areas special and they ask the question, “So what is the magic ingredient that makes a city successful?“ My gut tells me that Minneapolis has an overwhelming number of creatives, artists, graphic designers, and innovators in many disparate fields…\n…or like my San Francisco buddy always says, “It’s so damn cold there you guys have to be creative!” What do you think the magic ingredients are?\nMinneapolis ‘Unusually Successful’ and ‘Respected by Tech Insiders’ is a post from: Minnov8 and published under a Creative Commons license.\n \n    \n","saved":"2010-11-11T15:24:21Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e4410c233af73ce8585f01658583839b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e0051a898276/","kind":"page"},

I also wanted some aerial river B-roll so I parked next to a few kayak spots along the Lochsa river and tried out the new Hexakopter XL. The Hexakopter is a multirotor helicopter that performs like an infinite jib for low level aerial work. The 5dmk2 is a perfect payload for this Hexakopter and I am impressed how precisely it flys the camera.\n\nThe camera gimbal is hard mounted to the frame so I’m keeping it wide with the 20mm 2.8 until I can try out silicon dampners for the longer glass.\n\nOne of the limitations of the 5dmk2 on this platform is the inherent rolling shutter. If the wind starts bouncing the footage I swap out the 5d for a T2i at 720 60P which cleans up any jello effects.\n\nIn no wind conditions or interior work the 5dmk2 is my dslr of choice. However I’m looking into my crystal ball for a 5dmk3 with fast refresh rates and 1080 60P.\n\n\nCanon 5dmk2 on MK Hexakopter XL over the Lochsa River from Jeff Scholl on Vimeo.\n\n\n\nHere’s another recent video that Jeff shared:\n\n\nCanon 5Dmk2 on Mk HexaKopter XL from Jeff Scholl on Vimeo.\n\nOne of our clients from Chile arrived at Quadrocopter today so we gave Daniel a quick demo of the XL lifting the Canon 5dmk2/20mm 2.8. It has finally stopped raining here in NW Montana so we got to fly outside! \n\n\nIf you’re really wanting to get involved in your own Quadrocopter, you can with their Ready To Fly platforms!\n\nOUR READY TO FLY™ PLATFORMS\n\nAll our RTF™ platforms are professionally built in-house, directly by our company. They are therefore delivered to you fully assembled, configured and flown-in and come with all parameters adjusted.\n\nOur RTF™ platforms include the Mikrokopter Tool Software and full Xbee 900Mhz setup for easy communication with your computer. The Xbee setup will enable you to receive live flight data on your computer like elevation, position, ESC temperature, battery charge, voltage and much more.\n\nThe first flight of your custom MikroKopter is documented in a video that we will send to you prior to sending the RTF platform. This video documentation is proof of the flight ability of your Kopter and the functionality of all additional components.\n\nEVERYTHING you need to start flying right out of the box is included and packaged in our custom military or birch plywood cases that fits and fully protects all the components. \n\n(Photo credit: snap from the website)\n\n\nRelated Posts:\n\nIt’s a bird… it’s a plane… no it’s a Canon EOS 5D Mark II – stabilized in perfect GPS position\n“Today of All Days” Web Series shot on Canon HDSLRs\nTurn your HDSLR vacation photos into a movie – idea from Mike Matas\nHawaii 5-O now using Canon EOS 5D Mark IIs for some of the show\nFilming James Cameron & Arnold Schwarzenegger with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II\n\n\n\n\n","saved":"2010-11-09T15:15:29Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"328a4cdc39ed7ef9e86f7da21a7acf80","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/325d4e33cebf/","kind":"page"},

All the usual disclaimers apply: SQL is good for some things, and different scenarios call for different NoSQL solutions. No one solution is necessarily \"better\" overall. However, as Cockcroft writes \"We need a basis for comparison across them, so that we understand the differences in behavior.\"\n\nSponsor\n\n\nCockcroft created an example use case and is asking different NoSQL database developers to explain how  their databases handle availability zones, partitioning between zones, appending items to lists, handling silent data corruption, and backup and restore. Cockcroft uses terms from Amazon AWS, but the concepts should be applicable to other cloud hosting platforms. The use case Cockcroft describes is as follows:\n\n\nA TV based device calls the API to add a movie to its favorites list (like the Netflix instant queue, but I have simplified the concept here), then reads back the entire list to ensure it is showing the current state. The API does not use cookies, and the load balancer (Amazon Elastic Load Balancer) is round robin, so the second request goes to a different API server, that happens to be in a different Amazon Availability Zone, and needs to respond with the modified list.\n\nHe goes on to ask a series of detailed questions about how different NoSQL databases would deal with different aspects of this scenario. His original post is here. Cassandra and MongoDB replied here and here.\n\n\nCockcroft says he will offer a summary and comparison of the options after enough developers have replied.

{"id":"b55e5552169e","hash":"b55e5552169e62eb6157e996f167e315","url":"http://tidbits.com/article/11712?rss=","title":"15 Secrets of iMovie ’11","note":"Apple’s introduction of iMovie ’11 focused largely on the new Movie Trailers feature, audio editing improvements, and One-Step Effects for automating common editing operations. Those are just the highlights, however. Here are 15 features and bits of trivia you may not be aware of about the latest version of iMovie.\n \n \nView Entire Portrait Photos -- When you add a still photo that’s oriented vertically, iMovie automatically crops it to fit the project’s horizontal aspect ratio, which means you end up with only about one third of the photo visible. Click the new Allow Black button in the Viewer to include the entire photo (with black bars on the edges).\n \n \n\n \nPhotos Appear in Viewer -- Speaking of photos, when you click a thumbnail in the Photo browser, the image now shows up in the Viewer so you can get a better look at it. Also, pictures you import sport a green checkmark icon.\n \n \n\n \nRolling Shutter Fix -- Here’s an addition that could be very helpful, depending on the type of camera you own. Many still cameras capture images using a CMOS sensor, which records every shot in horizontal bands from top to bottom. When used to capture video, that technique can produce an effect called a “rolling shutter”: objects in motion appear rubbery because they’ve moved slightly by the time the sensor records the entire frame.\n \n \niMovie can now attempt to compensate for the effect. Double-click a clip, or select it and press the I key, to bring up the Clip inspector. Mark the Stabilization: Smooth Clip Motion checkbox to analyze the clip (if it hasn’t already been analyzed separately). When that’s done, click the Rolling Shutter: Reduce Motion Distortion checkbox, and choose one of the four options from the Amount pop-up menu (Low, Medium, High, Extra High).\n \n \n\nThis feature isn’t a magical cure-all; Apple says it works best on footage where the camera is panning left or right. But it can fix wobbly video that might otherwise be unusable.\n \n \n\n \n \nSide by Side Edit -- iMovie ’09 introduced a Picture-in-Picture edit that lets you play two clips at once, with one appearing in a small box in a corner of the screen. iMovie ’11 takes the same idea and adds a Side by Side edit that splits the screen vertically. Drag a clip onto the top of another clip in your project and then choose Side by Side from the action menu that appears.\n \n \nIn the Clip inspector, you can choose whether the added clip appears on the left or right side of the screen, and whether the image slides into frame from the side.\n \n \n\n \nBlue Screen -- Another new edit is Blue Screen, which makes blue areas of a video transparent. iMovie ’09 introduced a Green Screen feature for swapping out backgrounds or other effects—you shoot footage against a green backdrop, then replace the background with an image or other video in iMovie. The problem, of course, is that any green items in the shot, such as clothing, would also become transparent. Blue Screen gives you another option if you happen to shoot things that are often green.\n \n \niMovie Drop Box -- Following the lead of iTunes, iMovie now has an iMovie Drop Box folder, located at ~/Movies/iMovie Events. If you want to add a lot of movie files in the Finder, add them to that folder; the next time you launch iMovie, you’ll be asked if you want to import the videos.\n \n \nChange All Title or Transition Styles -- If you decide to change the style of an existing title, you can drop a new style onto the section of the clip the title occupies (the video clip turns bright blue to indicate you’re affecting the title). Now, when you replace a title style, iMovie asks if you’d like to replace just the one title or all titles in the project. The same option applies to replacing transitions, too.\n \n \n\n \nQuickly Jump to Titles -- When the Advanced Tools option is enabled in iMovie’s preferences, the Comment marker and Chapter marker tools become visible in the upper-right corner of the Project browser. Clicking the downward-facing triangle just to the right of the buttons lists all the markers you’ve placed in your movie, letting you jump to those sections quickly. In iMovie ’11, that list now also includes all titles in the project.\n \n \n\n \nPreview with Stabilization -- After you analyze a clip in the Event browser for stabilization, you usually don’t see the effects of the stabilization until you add the clip to a project. Right-click (or Control-click) the clip in the Event browser and choose Play with Stabilization Preview to see how the stabilized footage will appear.\n \n \nMovie Trailer Customization -- The movie trailers that you can create are fairly rigid in the number of clips that are included, because the edits are timed to the background music. (You can convert a movie trailer to a regular project and then edit it as you wish, however—choose File > Convert to Project.) Several of the trailer templates offer customization options.\n \n \nFor example, in the Pets trailer, you can choose whether the trailer is about a dog, cat, horse, or monster, with accompanying animal track images based on your selection.\n \n \n\nIn the Blockbuster, Friendship, and Travel trailers, you can set between two and six cast members; there are five different music tracks to accommodate the changes, all timed correctly.\n \n \n\n \nMade with Morse -- Speaking of trailers, you can choose which studio logo appears at the front. In the Signals Across the Globe trailer, the music that plays in the background is actually Morse code for “Made with iMovie.”\n \n \nStill More Trailer Trivia -- That spinning globe studio looks awfully familiar, doesn’t it? To avoid any legal entanglements, Apple made sure that you can’t type real movie studio names in the logo sequences, such as Universal or Paramount; the names are replaced with three dashes.\n \n \nAlso, when choosing a trailer style, if you watch the preview for the Action trailer, the character of “Matt” is actually iMovie developer Randy Ubillos.\n \n \nQuick Mute a Range of Audio -- iMovie ’09 let you mute a clip quickly: with an entire clip selected, press Command-Shift-M to mute the track. That still works in iMovie ’11, but you may not want to mute the entire clip. Instead, select a range in a clip’s audio waveform and press the Delete key to drop the volume level to zero. Pressing delete on a range that’s been edited returns it back to its default.\n \n \nCloudy Forecast -- If you add the Blue Marble Globe map, bring up the Clip inspector and enable the Show Clouds option to add a light layer of cloud cover. Also, a Show Route Line/Cities option lets you turn off the Indiana Jones-style travel line and city labels if you wish.\n \n \n\n \nAvoid Skim Drift -- Skimming is an integral part of working within iMovie: whenever your mouse pointer appears in the Project browser, the playhead appears and the current frame is shown in the Viewer. Sometimes, as you’re dragging, your pointer may drift up or down and out of a row (unless you’re being very deliberate about moving your mouse or finger on a trackpad perfectly horizontal). If this happens to you frequently, as it does to me, hold down Option and Shift when skimming. The cursor is held in the middle of the row, even if you drift with the mouse pointer.\n \n \nMore to Discover -- These are just some of the bigger changes in iMovie ’11. There are a lot more tiny details in how the program works, such as animated panel openings and closings, the capability to split detached audio tracks using the contextual menu, and direct import from an iPhone. Although movie trailers have gotten the bulk of the attention, this version of iMovie is a pretty deep update. (For more details, see the “First Look: iMovie ’11” and “iMovie ’11 Review” articles I \nwrote for Macworld.)\n\n \nRead and post comments about this article | Tweet this article\n\nCrashPlan is easy, secure backup that works everywhere.

We've won the Bloggers Challenge in the tech category three years in a row with total giving amounts of about $30,000 each year. We were dominant in the tech category and a few other blogs were equally dominant in their categories. As a result Donors Choose has decided to stop doing the Bloggers Challenge and encourage the blog communities that were regular winners to do something on their own.\n\nWhat we are going to do here at AVC is make November our Donors Choose Month. We are going to try to raise a bunch of money for Donors Choose projects this coming month. In that respect it will be a lot like prior years. However, there are two important twists (one borrowed from last year).\n\nThe first twist is that we are going to focus on science and math education for young women. We've curated a giving page for this community and we've filled it with projects that focus on science and math and young women. I have kicked off a month of giving with $250 of contributions to five projects. Here are the five that I selected:\n\n\n\nOur Giving Page is full of projects like this and we will keep it filled with them for the entire month. I am excited to be doing something real and tangible for young women to get them prepared for the world we live in. I hope you all are too.\n\nThe second twist, borrowed from last year, is that we are doing a Meetup on December 8th from 6pm to 8pm in NYC. The Meetup will happen in a public school in NYC. I will be there and I hope the Gotham Gal will be as well. We will have a number of NYC public school teachers and a few people from Donors Choose as well. Anyone who participates in this month of giving and contributes via our Giving Page will be invited to attend.\n\nSo that's what we are doing this coming month. I'm excited about this new way of doing this. The competition with other blog communities was getting boring because we beat them so badly three years in a row. Now we can make this all about our community and the projects we are supporting. We will launch a giving widget for this effort on the right sidebar sometime in the next couple days. Until then, go to the Giving Page and get started.","saved":"2010-10-31T14:22:08Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2ac9af01206f3b475bb0c7e254a48205","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f213f8374d41/","kind":"page"},

I think three of the general rules are worth expanding on here\nbecause I’m increasingly convinced they apply to software in general, not just\nfor mobile devices.\n\nCrash-Only\nAn Android app doesn’t need exit code.  You have callbacks for when you\nstart up, when you become active, and for when some other app takes your place and\npushes you aside; the latter two will typically be called repeatedly as the\nphone’s owner switches back and forth between apps.\n\nBut there’s no need for exit code because the system can, and does, nuke\nyour process any time you’re not active and it needs the memory.  What that\nmeans is that it’s your responsibility to save any state you might need in the\nfuture, and without asking anyone to select “File/Save”, either.\n\nAt some point, after I’d explained a few times why you have to write\nsoftware this way on Android, I started wondering why all software, without\nexception, isn’t written this way by default.\n\nLoose Address/Type-Driven Coupling\nThe way you hand off from one screen to another in Android is with an\nIntent.\nAn Intent has a Target, an Action, a URI, and a data type (as in Internet media-type, MIME\ntype), along with some ancillary stuff.  You can specify a target, essentially\na class name, and control passes to that class.  Or you can specify an action\n(make a phone call, view something, delete something) and its URI and or\nmedia-type, and let the system pick the right software to deal with it.\n\nSo, in your app, when\nwhenever your user taps on a URI, you fire off an Intent with the URI and the\n“view” action, and control passes to his or her favorite browser.\n\nThis has the nice side-effect of pushing you on the stack, so when the\nuser gets tired of browsing and hits the Back button enough times, eventually\nshe gets back to your app.  By fiddling media-types and actions, it’s dead easy for the\nuser to traipse naturally between Twitter, the browser, maps, contacts,\nphoto-browsing, music-listening, and so on, never losing the use of the\nall-important Back button.\n\nGosh, this notion of tying everything together loosely with addresses, data\ntypes, and a few simple verbs\nseems to have legs.  But since it\nwasn’t obvious to me from first principles that it would be a good way to\nconstruct mobile-device software, I’m wondering if maybe in general it’s a\ngood way to do almost everything.\n\nRemove Decoration\nWe advise people that, since mobile-device screens are small, that they\nhave to focus on data not decoration; get rid of all the headers and trailers\nand sidebars and toolbars that you can, so that the user gets the\nmaximum-possible amount of payload.\n\nComputer screens, whether desktop or laptop, are by comparison huge, and\nthis has led to a temptation to festoon interfaces with all sorts of\ndecoration and apparatus and gadgets and widgets and whatever.\n\nThe fact that on the mobile screen there’s just not room for that stuff\nmakes me increasingly wonder how much we really need it.  With every hour I\nspend traversing here and there on the Web, wincing away from sites that are\ndecoration-heavy and smiling at the ones that are all-message, the feeling grows.\n\n","saved":"2010-10-30T19:00:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b34f00a34c015aac2dd8e9ef0f048457","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e00a9eba94c4/","kind":"page"},

Provider Teliasonera has reportedly installed a 3G antenna at the base camp of Everest, connecting the remote location to a modern cell phone network for the first time. Previously, climbers had to use satellite phones to stay in touch with the rest of the world, and according to Reuters, the summit is still off limits -- the highest video call was made from an elevation of about 17,388 feet, which is where most climbers begin their journey to the summit at 29,035 feet.\n\nUnfortunately, your iPhone will still have to be roaming -- while TeliaSonera has been running iPhone-specific services in Europe and elsewhere in the world, the iPhone hasn't officially launched in Nepal yet.

In other words, paragraph numbers are an edit-time variable, not a render-time variable.\n\nAnother feature people should look at implementing in WordPress is sub-text. It allows the author to add parenthetical ideas that are revealed when the reader clicks a little plus sign in the left margin. You can nest these as many levels as you like. \n\nWithout an outliner to edit the text, and without the ability to store OPML source text in the WordPress database, I have no idea how you'd implement this, but I'm not a plug-in developer, and have no thoughts of becoming one. \n\nIf people want to discuss how to do this here, please go ahead, and if you have questions for me, I'll try to answer them.\n\nHey it's been a long time since there's been interest in new blogging features.

This new functionality is part of Facebooks application discovery stories which help organically drive awareness of new Facebook application, yet simultaneously potentially sacrifice a users privacy.  Heres how to protect yourself.   What Are Application Discovery Stories? Yesterday evening while watching the San Francisco Giants game, I was sitting next to my girlfriend who happened to be browsing Facebook.  When I looked over at her screen, I noticed the following story in her feed:      The story was automatically generated when I installed the Vchatter application, after receiving an email from one of their communications people.  While this typically wouldnt be a big deal, the content displayed within Vchatter can often be a little more revealing than you expected.  While I happened to be exploring for work, anybody who installs the application and is soon exposed to male genitalia will probably wonder what exactly you were up to (if youve used ChatRoulette ever, youd know how this app works).  The problem here was that I wasnt aware Facebook was automatically generating the story about my application activity.  While Facebook may assume that all application activity is safe for the general public, letting all my friends know that I installed a dating application, like Are You Interested?, is something I may not want my friends to know.    As such, I decided to look into how to remove this application activity all together.  Fortunately, for all those people who are engaged in activity on Facebook that they dont want their friends to see (you evil sinners!!), Ive created a short guide which shows you how to hide your application activity from others.  How To Hide Your Facebook Application Activity Hiding your application activity is fairly straight-forward.  First, you need to visit the Facebook privacy settings page (found here).  Second, click on the Edit Settings under Applications and Websites, as highlighted in yellow in the image below.      Lastly, scroll down next to the setting which says Game and application activity, which is highlighted in yellow below, and configure your settings to say Only Me.        Once you go through this process, your friends will no longer be alerted to all the applications you are installing.  If you happen to be perfectly transparent about all your online activity however, feel free to leave your settings as is!!","saved":"2010-10-21T16:27:06Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e34ec9f75ca34656885f27646f2033f6","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ada75079f669/","kind":"page"},

Read the first and third posts.\n\nAs we dig into type rendering on the web, we’ll begin by looking at text rendering engines. We are all familiar with operating systems like Windows and Mac OS X, but within each OS are smaller, specialized components available for use by applications like web browsers. APIs such as Core Text on Mac OS X, and DirectWrite and GDI on Windows, are examples of these components and are responsible for rasterizing fonts’ vector outlines. Let’s examine screenshots of web type as rendered by each of these APIs, and talk about the application independence of rendering engines.\n\n\n\nThe screenshots below were taken by visiting this test page that features two Typekit fonts, FacitWeb and Minion Pro. FacitWeb, occupying the top row of each screenshot, has a 120px capital R, a 21px subhead, and 12px text. Minion Pro, across the bottom of each screenshot, has a 130px capital R, a 24px subhead, and 14px text. The detail images are zoomed to 300%.\n\nCore Text\nCore Text is a rendering engine available on Mac OS X and iOS. In fact, it’s part of a suite of APIs called Core Foundation that underlies much of the slick interaction and glossiness for which Apple user interfaces are loved. It’s no surprise that Apple-rendered text reflects this same slickness, some would argue to the detriment of legibility. Core Text type tends to respect a typeface’s designed shape, which essentially means thicker letters (rather than pixel grid strictness). This can make letters, as well as spaces within and among letters, seem blurry at paragraph sizes. However, at very large sizes Core Text type looks natural and smooth. Part of its success at large sizes has to do with y-direction antialiasing, which is especially noticeable in the subtle curves of large letters — compare the detail images of Core Text’s capital R with those of GDI, which does not antialias vertically.\n\n\nAbove: Core Text rendering of FacitWeb (above) and Minion Pro (below).\n\nLook closely at the detail images and you’ll notice that some pixels are tinted with color. This is called sub-pixel antialiasing, which uses the vertically-oriented thirds of red, green, and blue light within each pixel of an LCD screen to effectively triple the horizontal resolution of text. At reading distance from the screen, our eyes cease to notice colored sub-pixels and we instead see sharper text than we otherwise would. Or at least, that’s the idea. For some folks, the sub-pixels are always noticeable and this amounts to an annoying color fringe effect on the edges of letters.\n\nDirectWrite\nIf Apple sub-pixel antialiased text is true to typeface design at the expense of some blurriness, Microsoft sub-pixel antialiased text is crisp and legible at the expense of style (and at the cost of many font production hours, but we’ll get to that in a future post). As Joel Spolsky once noted, there is a philosophical difference between the two companies’ approaches, and this is evident as we compare Apple’s Core Text to Microsoft’s DirectWrite.\n\n\nAbove: DirectWrite rendering of FacitWeb (above) and Minion Pro (below).\n\nDirectWrite, the latest and greatest text rendering engine for Windows, is available on Windows 7 and Windows Vista. It is markedly clearer, smoother, and has less intense color fringing than Core Text and older Windows text rendering engines. As with Core Text, there is y-direction antialiasing for smooth curves. (Compare, however, the bottom edges of paragraph text in DirectWrite with those of Core Text; Both engines use y-direction antialiasing, but Core Text’s closer adherence to actual glyph outlines translates to subtle antialiasing smudges below the baseline. Microsoft engines clean this up.) And as with Core Text, sub-pixels in DirectWrite are used not only to antialias text but also to space letters horizontally, which means letters can sit more naturally next to one another than in Microsoft’s older text rendering engine, GDI.\n\nGraphics Device Interface (GDI)\nThe GDI text rendering engine, available on Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP, actually comes in two flavors: GDI and GDI+. GDI+ is superior and has been included with Windows since XP, so when I talk about GDI here I’m actually referring to GDI+. Another bit of disambiguation: text rendering engines like GDI and DirectWrite both use, but are paradigmatically different than, the sub-pixel antialiasing algorithm ClearType. Antialiasing is just one function of text rendering engines, which are also responsible for Unicode mapping, OpenType features, and integration with other APIs like web browser layout engines.\n\nIn keeping with another philosophical difference between Apple and Microsoft, Windows operating systems provide users with several antialiasing preferences from which to choose: ClearType (sub-pixel antialiasing), Standard (grayscale antialiasing), or no antialiasing (black and white text without any smoothness). By default, ClearType is enabled in Windows 7 and Windows Vista, and Standard is enabled in Windows XP. We’ll revisit these preferences in our next post about web browsers, some of which have their own font smoothing options.\n\nGDI with ClearType antialiasing enabled\n\nAbove: GDI rendering of FacitWeb (above) and Minion Pro (below) with ClearType enabled.\n\nAs you see here, and as most Windows 7 and Windows Vista users see when they browse the web, GDI-rendered type with ClearType enabled – unlike DirectWrite or Core Text – does not antialias text in the y-direction. Note the abrupt, staircase-like curves in the capital R detail. This text also exhibits sub-pixel antialiasing with significant color fringing, perhaps because this early breed of the ClearType algorithm had yet to be refined.\n\nThere are different versions of ClearType, just as there are different Windows rendering engines and different web browsers. These nested components evolve independently, but the latest version of each may not be present in a given web browsing experience. For example, a version of ClearType with y-direction antialiasing, similar to what we see in DirectWrite, was available via another Windows API called Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). But because no version of Internet Explorer made proper use of WPF, web text viewed with a Windows browser has traditionally lacked y-direction antialiasing.\n\nGDI with Standard antialiasing enabled\n\nAbove: GDI rendering of FacitWeb (above) and Minion Pro (below) with Standard antialiasing.\n\nYou wouldn’t know it by our survey of text rendering engines thus far, but there was a time when sub-pixel antialiasing was not the most common means of smoothing fonts on screens. Windows Standard antialiasing is in good ol’ grayscale. This is how most Windows XP users see type on the web (unless they browse with Internet Explorer 7 or 8, but we’ll get to that later!), and how most users with CRT monitors see type as well (LCD-based sub-pixel antialiasing doesn’t work when there are no sub-pixels).\n\nGrayscale antialiasing adjusts whole pixels at once, doing its best to approximate the partial presence of a letterform by showing a solid gray representation of the two-dimensional area consumed by the shape’s overlap upon a given pixel. Grayscale text is not sharp enough to be very legible and, combined with Windows’ philosophical preference for snapping to pixel edges, does not adhere to the design of a particular typeface very well.\n\nGDI with no antialiasing\n\nAbove: GDI rendering of FacitWeb (above) and Minion Pro (below) with no antialiasing.\n\nWhile rare because it is not the default choice on any modern Windows OS, aliased text (that is, text without any kind of antialiasing) is what some folks see as they read web text. The most common reasons type is rendered this way are because the user (or computer’s administrator) prefers this style of text rendering and has adjusted the OS antialiasing settings, or because a particular setting within the font file has explicitly disabled antialiasing for the specific font size being used. We’ll talk more about this setting in a future post about font files.\n\nScreenshot review\nHere again are each of the screenshots. For extra fun, try opening each image in a new tab and flipping quickly among them.\n\n\nAbove: Core Text rendering of FacitWeb (above) and Minion Pro (below).\n\n\nAbove: DirectWrite rendering of FacitWeb (above) and Minion Pro (below).\n\n\nAbove: GDI rendering of FacitWeb (above) and Minion Pro (below) with ClearType enabled.\n\n\nAbove: GDI rendering of FacitWeb (above) and Minion Pro (below) with Standard antialiasing.\n\n\nAbove: GDI rendering of FacitWeb (above) and Minion Pro (below) with no antialiasing.\n\nIn summary, most people reading text on the web view type in one of these five ways. Mac OS X users see Core Text, Windows 7 and Windows Vista users see either DirectWrite or GDI, and Windows XP users see GDI. For now, I have not included details about Linux or Android OS. (If you have any good references for how web browsers on these platforms render text, please link them up in the comments!) But as we will see in future posts, preferences, web browsers, font formats, and CSS properties may each affect the way type is rendered on the web.\n\n         ","saved":"2010-10-15T15:16:22Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"5a499a94e2cc6a307343f92ce26f6a14","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/46d058f7a8bd/","kind":"page"},

The invite reads, “Back to the Mac.” and asks those invited to “Come see what’s new for the Mac on October 20, including a sneak peek of the next major version of Mac OS X.” But the most interesting thing about the invite has to be the picture. It’s an Apple logo cut out a sheet of metal that has been slightly turned to reveal what’s behind the sheet: a lion.\n\nApple began using big cat nicknames with initial release of OS X. 10.0 was “Cheetah”, 10.1 was “Puma”, 10.2 was “Jaguar”, 10.3 was “Panther”, 10.4 was “Tiger”, 10.5 was “Leopard”, and the current version, 10.6, is “Snow Leopard”. Initially, these were internal code names at Apple, but they eventually became a part of the marketing for the OS. And it certainly looks like OS X 10.7 is going to be dubbed “Lion”.\n\nOn the surface, that nickname could easily be discounted as just a random big cat Apple hasn’t used yet. But this is Apple, they don’t do “random”. There are a few big cats left that Apple could have chosen from — Lynx, Cougar (har har), and even Clouded Leopard come to mind — but they’re going with Lion, the kind of the jungle. To me, this means they intend this version of OS X to be big.\n\nYou might think that’s obvious, but consider OS X 10.6, which they named “Snow Leopard” — an extension of 10.5 “Leopard” — rather than giving it it’s own completely new big cat name. (Technically, snow leopards are from a different genus than leopards, but most people don’t realize that.) And in fact, Snow Leopard wasn’t all that different from Leopard other than it was faster and had a much smaller footprint. And Apple wasn’t afraid to say as much when they unveiled the OS in June 2009.\n\nBut OS X 10.7 Lion could be a completely revamped OS X, including a long-awaited interface change. The computing world is shifting into the age of mobile, and iOS is now seen as Apple’s major operating system. Perhaps OS X Lion will represent the beginning of a unification between OS X and iOS. And if Apple is giving it the Lion moniker, which they won’t be able to top, perhaps they mean this to be last version of OS X? (Though they do say “next” version of Mac OS X and not “last”.)\n\nAs we noted back in June, the footprint of OS X 10.7 is already out there. We see it everyday in the TechCrunch logs, undoubtedly from Apple’s HQ where it’s being worked on. In the past few months, the number of visits by machines running OS X 10.7 has continued to increase.\n\nA Lion approaches.\n\nOS X 10.7 visitors by month:\n\n\n\nOS X 10.7 visitors by day:\n\n\n\nCrunchBase InformationOS XAppleInformation provided by CrunchBase\n         \n\n     \n","saved":"2010-10-14T23:11:22Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"59e876828bc97f50bf82188eeaa62801","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c38a36fa9f41/","kind":"page"},

Opera says they welcome two new users every second, on average.\n\nFurthermore, thanks to its extensive network of handset makers and telecom operators from around the globe, Opera can potentially reach a far larger user base than that, which leads them to say they’re just getting started (they mentioned a combined subscriber base of 1.2 billion people as far as its partner network goes).\n\nCouple of examples as to what agreements Opera tends to strike with those partners: the Samsung Galaxy S phone will come preloaded with Opera Mini in multiple regions soon, and one of the largest manufacturers of mobile phones in the world, Mediatek, plans to equip all its future phones with Opera software.\n\nSome Opera Mini-specific stats:\n\n- handling 36.9 billion page views per month (76% growth since December 09)\n- which translates to about 5.35 petabytes of data, per month\n- each user is good for an average of 519 page views per month\n- 100% user growth since December 2009\n- Opera Mini is compatible with over 3,000 different mobile devices\n- the mobile browser product is used in 195 countries\n\nDownright massive, and still so much potential for growth.\n\nOpera notes that emerging markets are the fastest-growing for them (with India leading) and that they foresee this trend to continue for the next decade. Another bold statement: the company sees mobile Web usage outgrow desktop browser usage by 2015.\n\nOpera’s positioned pretty well in that regard, and the company still manages to fly largely under the radar these days. Let’s see if the newly announced products will be able to change all that.\n\nCrunchBase InformationOpera SoftwareInformation provided by CrunchBase\n         \n\n     \n","saved":"2010-10-14T23:11:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"40713b00722b44ac698b42576dda302c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5cbb5b77de0c/","kind":"page"},

It’s hugely important — but it’s also not something that is going to be solved overnight. But there are plenty of things we can all do right now to conserve the forms of energy we do have. And while the cost-saving angle motivates some people, it’s often confusing because many solutions require you spend more money upfront to save in the long run. Formative Labs has a different solution to get people to conserve.\n\nWhile they’re still working on building their product, and founder/CEO Jessica Alter doesn’t want to give too much away, she does tell us that a key to what they’re going to do revolves around game and social mechanics. It’s about creating a consumer experience that entices people to change their behavior, she says. Hopefully, part of that is guilting them into conserving more energy when friends boast about how much they’re saving — I love those types of mind games.\n\nAnd today Formative Labs is announcing an angel round of funding from an impressive roster of angels: Jeff Clavier, Keith Rabois, Dave McClure, Ben Ling, and Karl Jacob. These angels are betting that Alter and her team can use their social experience to lead to real change in the space. Alter was previously the Director of Platform and Business Development at Bebo. The amount of funding has not been disclosed.\n\nFormative Labs was one of the groups that was initially working out of San Francisco’s Dogpatch Labs alongside companies like Burbn (now Instagram), StickyBits, Formspring, and FanPulse (now Fanvibe). Alter notes they have their own space now. She says that they’ll be launching their first product into beta testing soon.\n\n         \n\n\n\n     \n","saved":"2010-10-12T00:10:52Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"f5248761eb79af29dc937d2553cd2524","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/37d6e694c5d7/","kind":"page"},

It was my first time working with a GoPro, and I was super skeptical at first, but with it’s slomo, and easiness to use after you spend a little of time with it, it worked great. And I was surprised how well it cut with the footage from our Canon cameras. No disappointments. All the GoPro footage was shot at 60fps as well, and 720p.\n\nWe used the program “Twixtor” for a couple of the shots, which put it in even more slomo then what we shot it at.\n\nI converted all the video footage to ApplePro Res, which I then edited with Final Cut Pro. I then colored it in Apple’s Color, it was my first time coloring myself, so it was a learning opportunity.\n\nThe original idea for this spot came my friend Jeff Harmon’s, from Orabrush. I have been making there companies videos since the company first started, check out there stuff here. http://www.youtube.com/user/curebadbr…\n\n(Photo credit: snap from the video)\n\n\nRelated Posts:\n\nSexy Disney Princesses in Canon EOS 5D Mark II vertical videos\nCanon EOS 5D Mark II video from a 102 year old lens – a Blast from the past!\nIncredible 52 Canon EOS 5D Mark II camera “Matrix” surfing setup!\nCanon EOS 5D Mark II up in flames!

Well, I was working with some new Smart Collections the other day and I thought it’d be cool to give you 5 ways to use them. More importantly though, I’m looking for some comments here on how you use Smart Collections. I figure there’s got to be plenty of cool ideas out there that I’m missing, so please share.   Anyway, here’s 5 of mine:  Smart Collection Idea #1: PSD Files Any image edited in Photoshop means it was taken to the next level. Since I’ll usually want to get back to those photos quickly I set the File Type to “PSD” so I can quickly find any PSD files.   Smart Collection Idea #2: HDR Images Any time I work on an HDR photo in Photoshop I make sure I rename it (to include “HDR) when I get back over to Lightroom. That way, I can set up a Smart Collection where the Filename contains “HDR” so all of my HDR images are just a click away.   Smart Collection Idea #3: Panoramas Along the same lines of the HDR photos, I do something similar for panos. I make sure to rename any panos when I get back to Lightroom and create a Smart Collection where the Filename contains “Pano”.   Smart Collection Idea #4: Copyright Check I create a Smart Collection to check for any photos where the Copyright metadata field doesn’t contain “Matt Kloskowski” in it. That way, I can keep an eye on any that I forget to copyright.    Smart Collection Idea #5: Recently Edited Lightroom also has some default Smart Collections. I kinda like the “Recently Modified” one so I can see what photos I’ve recently changed. I double click on it though, to change it from 2 days to 5 days, and that seems to work well for me.   Well that’s it for today. I’m in Albuquerque shooting the Balloon Fiesta and we have to be up and in the lobby by 4:15am (ouch!). See ya!

Only beginners needs to pay attention to words and their order. Expertise opens up the possibility of real communication.\n\nThat from a link posted a couple of days ago. Then there is this:\n\n\nI didnt see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life. \n\nBeing expert at being a beginner seems the thing then. Being comfortable being uncomfortable. Feeling free to be free.

Klout data is valuable because marketers, PR people and others want a way to quickly prioritize which Twitter users they should respond to among many mentions of a monitored brand.

Virgin Airlines, for example, used Klout scores to offer free flights this Summer to highly influential Twitter users.

I suspect this friend then went off to make herself some popcorn in preparation for the presumed inevitable mind-losing that will occur in the comments. That’s what I am to you people: cheap entertainment. Well, fine.\n\nI’ve mentioned it in passing before, but I’ll go a little more in detail about it now. I enjoy Atlas Shrugged quite a bit, and will re-read it every couple of years when I feel in the mood. It has a propulsively potboilery pace so long as Ayn Rand’s not having one of her characters gout forth screeds in a sock-puppety fashion. Even when she does, after the first reading of the book, you can go, “oh, yeah, screed,” and then just sort of skim forward and get to the parts with the train rides and motor boats and the rough sex and the collapse of civilization as Ayn Rand imagines it, which is all good clean fun. Her characters are cardboard but they’re consistent — the good guys are really good in the way Rand defines “good,” and everyone else save Eddie Willers and the picturesquely doomed Cherryl Brooks are obnoxious shitheels, so you don’t really have to worry about ambiguity getting in the way of your zooming through the pages.\n\nRand is an efficient storyteller that way: You know early on what the rules of her world are, she sticks with those rules, and you as the reader are on a rail all the way through the story. It’s not storytelling that works for everyone, and it doesn’t work for me with every book I read. But if you’re in the mood not to work too much, it’s fine to have an author who points dramatically at the things she wants you to look at, and keeps the lights off the things she doesn’t. Basically, I find her storytelling restful, which I suppose isn’t a word used much to describe her technique, but which fits for how it works for me.\n\nA good way for me to describe how I relate to Atlas Shrugged is to note that one time when I was in college in Chicago, the only way for me to get back home to California for the Christmas holidays was to take a Greyhound bus. This meant a 53-hour-long bus ride in the company of felons (no joke; the bus stopped at Joliet and some rather skeevy-looking parolees from the prison got on. One of them decided to sit by me and I was treated to delightful stories of prison rape all the way through Iowa). The way I handled the trip was to take Atlas Shrugged along for the ride, and when I was bored, to crack open the book and start reading. The book would put me in a fugue state and when I looked up again from the pages, an entire state would have gone by. It’s no exaggeration when I say that Atlas Shrugged probably saved my sanity on that bus trip. So well done, Ms. Rand, and thanks.\n\nThat said, it’s a totally ridiculous book which can be summed up as Sociopathic idealized nerds collapse society because they don’t get enough hugs. (This is, incidentally, where you can start your popcorn munching.) Indeed, the enduring popularity of Atlas Shrugged lies in the fact that it is nerd revenge porn — if you’re an nerd of an engineering-ish stripe who remembers all too well being slammed into your locker by a bunch of football dickheads, then the idea that people like you could make all those dickheads suffer by “going Galt” has a direct line to the pleasure centers of your brain. I’ll show you! the nerds imagine themselves crying. I’ll show you all! And then they disappear into a crevasse that Google Maps will not show because the Google people are our kind of people, and a year later they come out and everyone who was ever mean to them will have starved. Then these nerds can begin again, presumably with the help of robots, because any child in the post-Atlas Shrugged world who can’t figure out how to run a smelter within ten minutes of being pushed through the birth canal will be left out for the coyotes. Which if nothing else solves the problem of day care.\n\nAll of this is fine, if one recognizes that the idealized world Ayn Rand has created to facilitate her wishful  theorizing has no more logical connection to our real one than a world  in which an author has imagined humanity ruled by intelligent cups of yogurt. This is most obviously revealed by the fact that in Ayn Rand’s world, a man who self-righteously instigates the collapse of society, thereby inevitably killing millions if not billions of people, is portrayed as a messiah figure rather than as a genocidal prick, which is what he’d be anywhere else. Yes, he’s a genocidal prick with excellent engineering skills. Good for him. He’s still a genocidal prick. Indeed, if John Galt were portrayed as an intelligent cup of yogurt rather than poured into human form, this would be obvious. Oh my god, that cup of yogurt wants to kill most of humanity to make a philosophical point! Somebody eat him quick! And that would be that.\n\nThe fact that apparently a very large number of people don’t recognize Galt as the genocidal prick he is suggests a) Rand’s skill at stacking the story-telling deck is not to be discounted, and b) as with any audience with a large number of nerds in it, a non-trivial number of Atlas Shrugged readers are possibly far enough along the Asperger spectrum that they don’t recognize humanity does not in fact easily suss out into Randian capitalist superheroes on one side and craven socialist losers on the other, or that Rand’s neatly-stacked deck doesn’t mirror the world as it is, or (if one gives it any sort of genuine reflection) model it as it should be.\n\nTo be fair to Rand, she’s certainly not the only science fiction/fantasy author who has lashed together a universe out of twine and novel but shallow philosophical meanderings (Objectivism: the spongy white bread at the Great Buffet of Human Ideas), and then populated it with characters tuned to exist in that universe and that universe only. She’s not even the only author to have enthusiastic nerds confuse that Potemkin universe with a possible one, who then go about annoying the rest of us, who have no desire to be characters in that sort of universe, thank you kindly. But on the other hand, Rand did spend a lot of time getting high on her own supply, which most pushers are smart enough not to do, and at the moment, her claque of enthusiastic nerds certainly seems to be the most energetic, which doesn’t really please me.

Proctor & Gamble partnered with Amazon and used its recently revamped WebStore e-commerce platform to power the Facebook app. That means that item selection, descriptions, reviews and checkout options are all handled by Amazon.com. The only real differences between a Facebook app and a standard Amazon WebStore implementation is that the Pampers store takes place inside the fan page.\nPampers is the first P&G brand to use e-commerce within its fan page, but the companys press release indicates that it looks forward to rolling the capabilities out to other P&G brands in the future.\n\n\nTechFlash asked Amazon spokeswoman Tracy Ogden about future plans for WebStore integration with Facebook, and while the company didnt comment, citing its policy of not discussing future plans, this is definitely a feature that fits into the rest of the Amazon WebStore and Amazon Marketplace Web Service ecosystem.\nPampers may be the first example of an Amazon-powered web store on Facebook, but its hardly the first e-commerce example. At the beginning of the summer, Disney rolled out an app on its Toy Story 3 fan page that allowed users to buy movie tickets and invite friends to various screenings. Sony Pictures Entertainment has also integrated movie ticket purchase options into the Fan Pages for some of its films, including Eat Pray Love and Resident Evil Afterlife.\nLikewise, other e-commerce platforms like ShopTab, Payvment and BigCommerce offer their own shopping solutions for businesses and brands.\nStill, Amazon remains a major player in the e-commerce and fulfillment space. Many businesses build either their own custom Amazon WebStores or use Amazon for fulfillment or payment processing.\nIf the P&G fan page is indicative of a future product vertical, and we think it is, this could mean big things not just for bringing e-commerce to Facebook, but for expanding the reach of Amazon WebStores.\nWhat do you think of brands integrating web stores with Facebook?\nReviews: FacebookMore About: amazon, amazon webstore, e-commerce, facebook, pampers, proctor & gamble\nFor more Social Media coverage:Follow Mashable Social Media on TwitterBecome a Fan on FacebookSubscribe to the Social Media channelDownload our free apps for iPhone and iPad","saved":"2010-10-01T21:01:52Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"28d701d8cd8bde82b0ecf8415458c661","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/10d996f9790b/","kind":"page"},

Ive written recently about Amazons implementation of Facebook Connect, the launch of two new products from FatWallet, and even the fact that social shopping apps both won and placed in the recent Facebook Hackathon in Palo Alto.\n\nJust to prove my point, here are some details of two other social shopping apps that recently entered the fray.\n\nStoreEnvy\nSan Francisco-based startup StoreEnvy is a marketplace of independently owned stores. You can open an online store for free and the StoreEnvy Facebook application lets you put it on your Facebook Page. You can see the StoreEnvy Facebook tab in operation here.\n\nUnlike other store builders, all of the stores are connected through the StoreEnvy socialshoppingmarketplace. Any product you add to your online store gets added to theStorenvy.com marketplace and may appear on the sites homepage. This lets people shop and search across all the stores at once. The new version will let StoreEnvy users determine what goes on the home page  described as Digg for cool stuff to buy.\n\nStoreEnvy chief executive Jon Crawford told AllFacebook.com the site allowed shoppers to discover cool stuff across the thousands of stores, favorite things, comment, see what their friends like and more. Thesocialshoppingexperience is where we are putting our product development efforts right now, so there will be lots more here soon, he said.\n\nStore owners can customize their stores to their hearts content with full HTML and CSS control. Its completely free, except for PayPal fees; the StoreEnvy developers plan to operate a freemium model where the basic version is free and they sell services and extra features on top of it.\n\n\n\nAddoway\n\nMeanwhile, online marketplaceAddoway has startedrewarding shoppers for sharing deals with their friends onsocialnetworks such as Facebook.\n\nAddoway has created a virtual currency called Addo Bucks that shoppers can earn after sharing deals with friends. They can cash those Addo Bucks in for discounts on merchandise sold on Addoway, redeem them for free gift cards from popular retailers like Starbucks and Best Buy, or use them to enter limited-entry private giveaways of prizes like an Apple iPad or Nintendo Wii.\n\nAddoway chief executive Fredrick Nijm said: On Addoway, we have discovered that shoppers referred fromsocialnetworks are eighttimes more likely to make a purchase than those that come from comparisonshoppingengines, so it only makes sense to give our merchants more and more ways to reward shoppers for sharing their positive experiences with their friends.\n\nHe added: Other rewards programs have been focused around giving away stuff in exchange for spamming friends. Were not about that at all. Our system encourages sharing authentic, positive experiences, which is what Facebook has been built on.\n\nAddoway only rewards shoppers for sharing when their friends have some level of interaction with Addoway, not merely for sharing links.\n\nThe company has also made upgrades to its platform to help merchants build their Facebook fan base, by allowing merchants to reward shoppers with exclusive discounts and other deals only available to fans of their pages. Shoppers can like the merchants Facebook pages directly from within the Addoway platform.\n\nAddoway launched in public beta in April, and to date has had over 100,000 products listed for sale by merchants on its platform.","saved":"2010-10-01T18:22:26Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2bc35e976d06e819f15e7c8b9baa6b66","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/fd0f1bf64963/","kind":"page"},

Instead, the new store is integrated into Procter & Gamble's Facebook page for Pampers. Yes, Pampers diapers. \n\n\nAmazon's first big venture into Facebook-enabled selling is targeted at Facebook moms, who can also use the store to shop for other P&G products like laundry detergent and shampoo. \n\nSponsor\n\n\n\n\nYes, Diapers. Boring Ol' Diapers\n\nThe news of Amazon's first Facebook store was first reported by TechFlash, but we've reached out to Amazon.com to confirm whether or not this is, in fact, the actual first, as details were not available in the press release. \n\n\nAssuming it is, though, the choice makes sense. Those who have opted in to following the Facebook fan page for Pampers are clearly the target market for buying the product. \n\n\nThe store front is made available via a tab at the top of the fan page that simply reads \"Shop Now.\" Click the tab and you're taken to what is essentially a micro-site dedicated to everything P&G, with a big focus on the leading product, the Pampers diapers. However, the left-side navigation also directs you to other products including home care items like laundry soaps and paper products, and \"personal care\" items like deodorant, hair care and oral care products. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Facebook store is powered by Amazon's Webstore service, a solution that helps customers build custom, branded e-commerce sites powered by Amazon.com. Facebook-enabled Web stores are not currently listed as one of the options or features of the service. That means this was a custom solution Amazon built for P&G, possibly as an experiment in the area of Facebook e-commerce. \n\n\nBut Wait! This is Bigger Than it Seems\n\nI know what you're thinking: \"Big deal, you can buy Pampers on Facebook. Who cares?\"\n\n\nBut that's missing the point. \n\n\nBuying diapers via a P&G-owned Facebook page is only the beginning. Although Amazon spokeswoman Tracy Ogden told TechFlash that the company \"wouldn't discuss future plans\" when asked if Amazon would be powering more storefronts in the future, we imagine it will. Facebook now has half a billion users, and many of them have opted into relationships with companies, brands and products through the use Facebook likes. These are a company's best customers - the ones who are willing to watch the ads, share their opinions and check out the latest deals and discounts. It only goes to reason that they will buy the products, too.\n\n\nOr so you would think. Interestingly enough, social commerce hasn't yet led to a large volume of sales, Forrester Research e-commerce analyst Brian Walker told TechFlash. \n\n\nThat broad statement seems to discount the successes some savvy brands have already seen leveraging social networks, though. Take Best Buy, for example. It, too, has an integrated shopping tab on its fan page. Only six weeks after its late 2009 launch, it helped the company grow its fan base from 27,000 users to 900,000 and sent traffic to its official website. \n\n\nIf this topic interests you, note that Best Buy will be one of the companies presenting at analyst firm Altimeter Group's upcoming conference, \"The Rise of Social Commerce.\" Other companies speaking at the event include Hallmark, Dell, Nielsen, Newell Rubbermaid, Virgin America and Zynga. \n\n\nBuying diapers on Facebook may not seem exciting to you, but the potential for Amazon stores on Facebook certainly is. \n\nDiscuss","saved":"2010-10-01T16:06:26Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"1c8212dbac49eb9f42b67c8d55a2460c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/95509540acd2/","kind":"page"},

The United Nations, over 70 nonprofits from around the world, and thousands of filmmakers have teamed up with One Day on Earth to film in EVERY country in the world in 24-hours on 10/10/10.\n\nThe project, which started in 2008, created an online community to accomplish this global task: www.OneDayOnEarth.org\n\n\nThey have asked filmmakers, students, humanitarian workers, and inspired individuals to take part in creating a shared archive of video. While the archive will be accessible for all to view, it will be downloadable for those that participate (for non commercial use, with credit). Enabling all who share video to sculpt their own story of One Day on Earth. \n\nThe project has gotten unprecedented support from the UN. Filmmakers in areas of low bandwidth who can get their footage to UNDP offices (located in nearly every developing nation) will have their videos safely transported back to the UN Headquarters for pick-up by the One Day on Earth team, which will then upload and share. Vimeo has partnered with the project to provide the necessary bandwidth and promotion to their community.\n\nMany non-profits are asking the growing population of 7000+ filmmakers to help document issues that are important to their cause. With partners like the World Wildlife Fund, Oxfam, 350.org, water.org and the American Red Cross, there is certainly no shortage of inspiration. Additionally, the filmmaker is directly linked to their videos, so the site provides a possible avenue of communication to investigate and learn about the issues being shown  no middle man to what is happening on the ground.\n\nThe website is also build for filmmakers to collaborate on topics of interest for the 10/10/10 shoot date. Groups that have started include everyone from expecting mothers who will film their childs birth (30 soon-to-be mothers from around the world so far!), to underwater photographers swimming with whales.\n\nWith the archive, One Day on Earth promises to edit a feature length film representing every country in the world. \n\nWhat will you share with the world? \n\nSign up to participate here: http://www.OneDayOnEarth.org","saved":"2010-09-28T12:48:33Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7797efc2bf9912c6c0370b6db90626c6","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/81cda9d24bad/","kind":"page"},

Follow the “Update Framework” tutorial here.It requires very little adjustment to your theme, yet opens up a world of possibility! We hope that this feature becomes an instant hit amongst the community. Constructive feedback is obviously most welcome and will help improve the sidebar manager even further.\nUPDATE: We have now added framework v3.0 to all themes and added functionality for the Sidebar Manger. You need to update your theme to the latest version.

The app directs customers from Facebook to a company’s web site, so there’s no need to worry about extras like shipping or taxes, and purchasing the contract-free service ranging from $10 to $20 a month.    ShopTab’s online store appears on a Shop tab on a given Facebook Page and so far the app has about 76,500 monthly active users. ShopTab’s Jay Feitlinger tells us that the app is being used by big companies, such as the Coca-Cola Store, but also niche retailers. The company’s app is meant to be customizable across all business, but ShopTab also provides some custom services.    Using the app from the admin dashboard is as easy as either uploading a .csv file or uploading an item’s title, price, category, description and URLs to the product and image. Businesses using the app may only create one admin account. Feitlinger points out that ShopTab was designed specifically for ease of use and many customers set up their store in about 10 minutes.  From the customer end, the simple and attractive store calls attention with a banner that Feitlinger points out can be re-formatted to suit a store’s needs. For example, some Facebook shops add a menu to the banner while others may add a coupon. The store also has several search functions that work really well and allow for Facebook users to share items to their feed to spread the word.    ShopTab’s store, like most e-commerce apps we’ve reviewed, links items in the Facebook shop to a business’ web page, thus allowing customers to pay on a company’s web site for items they found on Facebook.

Over the last few months, weve assembled a team of dedicated engineers and product managers who are focused exclusively on designing the platform you need to maximize the potential of your games. And we are game lovers, every last one of us. Were looking forward to working with you to build even better games experiences on Facebook.\n\n\nIt is clear that games have been one of the most successful categories of Platform applications, but weve struggled in the past with how to optimize the games experience on Facebook.  People who use Facebook either tend to tell us that they love playing games or hate them, and we havent had the right tools to enable developers to grow their games while at the same time providing a great user experience for non-gamers. Were building more sophisticated tools that will allow us all to be more successful against those goals.\n\n\nToday were announcing a series of changes designed to lay the foundation for further games innovation on Facebook.  The updates are the first step toward a new platform infrastructure and APIs that will provide you with the tools to reach and engage the growing number of people who play games, and drive discovery among their friends.\n\n\nDrive Re-engagement\n\nTargeting stories based on usage. Application stories will only be shown to those who are already engaging with the application. This means people who play games on Facebook can freely share stories about challenges and progress with friends, without worrying about overwhelming their friends who dont play. \nDisplaying full game stories. Now that game stories are uniquely aimed at the people playing them, they will no longer be collapsed or aggregated in News Feed. This gives you more real estate to reach your users with more relevant content.\nDeploying smarter bookmarks. The apps people use the most will be automatically bookmarked and will reorder based on usage. Individual apps will no longer need to request people to bookmark them. \nDisplaying more prominent counts. If theres a task to be completed within a game, or a user has an outstanding invitation, a count will be highlighted next to the bookmark on their home page for convenient re-engagement.\n\n\n\n\nImprove Discovery\n\nSurfacing game activity through friends. By showing fewer but more impactful News Feed stories based on friends activity and social context, we hope to drive new user growth for games. For example, instead of the typical story saying that someone just bought a new item, it could say Dave, Jonny and 3 other friends just started playing a game. \nMoving requests. With the more prominent counts, were encouraging users to look to the left hand nav for their daily Facebook activity, so it makes sense for games re-engagement and discovery for requests to move to that high visibility area.\n\n\n\n\nAdditionally, with these changes, were also simplifying our platform policies dramatically.  We realize that detailed policies that spell out exactly what you can do and cant do are hard for developers and simply add friction to the process of building on Facebook.  With the changes we are making today, we are in a better position to eliminate many specific policies in favor of broader principles to ensure that applications respect user trust.  Learn more about the policy changes here.\n\n\nWere looking forward to more games that connect friends and family everywhere.  You can find images of the new games experience here.\n\n\nJared, product manager for Games, just played a 7 letter word in Scrabble against his Mom.","saved":"2010-09-21T18:20:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"544f60c9b096808802e6c8749b6ffd60","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/af7941000f97/","kind":"page"},

(MacSpeech Scribe still exists)\n\nNevermind the name.  The product is solid.  I’ve been playing with the new Nuance Dragon Dictate 2 for Mac which uses the same best-in-class speech recognition engine as Dictate 11 for PC, and have to say this is a more than worthy upgrade.\n\nThe biggest difference for me, straight out of the box, is that you don’t have to use a USB/Bluetooth microphone.  I was able to set the program up to use my MacBook Pro’s built in mic.  At a normal distance it is able to recognize my voice in a quiet room.  If there is any kind of noise in your work environment or you need better accuracy, use a USB or Bluetooth headset.  A cheap but functional USB headset is supplied with the boxed version but you’ll be much happier with a $20 Plantronics from Amazon.\n\nThe accuracy with a headset seems at least as good as the previous version and probably better.  I usually go a few paragraphs between missed words, and that is often the result of my mumbling or using a word that no dictionary would recognize.  There is a 20 minute training program at the beginning but you’ll be impressed at the results even if you don’t spend the time training (I imported my profile from a previous version).\n\nAnother nice thing about this version is that it allows multiple microphone profiles per user.  I use the built in Mac mic in my office but a Logitech headset when I’m out and about.  I could add one of those in ear Bluetooth headsets if I wanted to look like a douche…but I’ll pass.\n\nOne other interesting new feature I’ve been playing with is the ‘mouse movements’ via speech.  You can actually move your mouse around the screen with voice commands (see directions below).\n\nOverall, a great product gets even better.  Let’s hope they get to name parity with the PC version next time around.\n\nDragon Dictate 2 for Mac is available for $199 retail package or $179 for software download only and $49 for an upgrade from MacSpeech 1.x.\n\n\n\n\n\nDragon also has a very popular free iPhone app if you want to take their product for a spin on a mobile device.\n\nWhat’s new in Dragon Dictate 2 for Mac:\n\nPowered By The Latest Dragon\nDragon Dictate’s remarkable accuracy is powered by the latest version of the state-of-the-art Dragon speech recognition engine. This is the same state-of-the-art technology used by Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 for the PC.\n\nEasier Editing\nNew commands are easy to say, easy to remember, and designed to simplify and speed up editing by voice. These commands include:\n\n\n“Select ”, “Select Next/Previous”\n“Delete” , “Delete Next/Previous”\n“Train ” or “Correct ”\n“Insert Before/After ”\n“Capitalize” , “Capitalize Next/Previous”\n“Lowercase” , “Lowercase Next/Previous”\n“Uppercase” , “Uppercase Next/Previous”\nAnd more!\n\nProofreading\nThe new Proofreading commands in Dragon Dictate 2.0 take advantage of the powerful Text-to-Speech capabilities built into Mac OS X. Use these commands to have dictated text read back to you:\n\n\n“Read/Proofread ”\n“Read/Proofread The Selection”\n“Read/Proofread Document”\n\nSurrounding Punctuation\nThese commands allow you to put punctuation around certain words, using a single command. Some examples are:\n\n\n“Put Quotes Around <text> ”\n“Put Parentheses Around <text> ”\n“Put Brackets Around <text> ”\nAnd more!\n\nVoice Shortcuts for Search\nDragon Dictate’s voice shortcuts offer an easy way to search the web for information, or search your Mac for content. Speak a dynamic command, such as “Search Google for ‘Italian restaurant’”, or “Search Mac for ‘history term paper’”, and Dragon Dictate helps you find what you’re looking for.\n\nFlexible Microphones\nSwitching between microphones is easier to manage with Dragon Dictate 2.0. A new “Audio Sources” setting lets you specify which microphones to use with a given Profile. You can even designate multiple microphones for a single Profile — for example, if you use both a wired headset microphone and a wireless microphone.\n\nMouseGrid\nPlacement of the cursor can be accomplished with MouseGrid commands. Using numbered 3×3 grid sections onscreen, you can narrow down the placement of the mouse pointer, and then use a Mouse Click command. Some of the MouseGrid commands are:\n\n\n“Open MouseGrid” or “MouseGrid”\n“Small MouseGrid” (directly around mouse pointer)\n“1″ through “9″, to narrow down placement\n“Close MouseGrid”, or “Cancel”\n\nMouse Click\nTo click the mouse, you simply speak a command, with optional <modifiers>  that designate one or more keys such as Command, Option, Shift or Caps Lock. Choose from these new commands:\n\n\n“ <modifiers> Mouse Click”\n“ <modifiers> Mouse Double Click”\n“ <modifiers> Mouse Triple Click”\n“ <modifiers> Press Mouse, or Hold Mouse”\n“Release Mouse”\n\nMouse Movement\nNew commands let you move the mouse pointer, just by using your voice. You designate the direction (left, right, up, down, or any combination), and optionally the distance (points, centimeters or inches). These new commands are available in Dragon Dictate 2.0:\n\n\n“Move Mouse <direction>”\n“Stop, or Slower, or Faster”\n“Move Mouse <direction> 1-100 Points/Centimeters/Inches”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","saved":"2010-09-21T03:14:59Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3fc27daf897a9d42e9a60de4cfd02846","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7428d86a54fd/","kind":"page"},

And it's the only one involving monks.\n\n\nThe tsunami of cheap credit that rolled across the planet between 2002 and 2007 has just now created a new opportunity for travel: financial-disaster tourism. The credit wasn't just money, it was temptation. It offered entire societies the chance to reveal aspects of their characters they could not normally afford to indulge. Entire countries were told, \"The lights are out, you can do whatever you want to do and no one will ever know.\" What they wanted to do with money in the dark varied. Americans wanted to own homes far larger than they could afford, and to allow the strong to exploit the weak. Icelanders wanted to stop fishing and become investment bankers, and to allow their alpha males to reveal a theretofore suppressed megalomania. The Germans wanted to be even more German; the Irish wanted to stop being Irish. All these different societies were touched by the same event, but each responded to it in its own peculiar way.\nAs it turned out, what the Greeks wanted to do, once the lights went out and they were alone in the dark with a pile of borrowed money, was turn their government into a pinata stuffed with fantastic sums and give as many citizens as possible a whack at it. In just the past decade the wage bill of the Greek public sector has doubled, in real terms-and that number doesn't take into account the bribes collected by public officials. The average government job pays almost three times the average private-sector job. The national railroad has annual revenues of 100 million euros against an annual wage bill of 400 million, plus 300 million euros in other expenses. The average state railroad employee earns 65,000 euros a year. Twenty years ago a successful businessman turned minister of finance named Stefanos Manos pointed out that it would be cheaper to put all Greece's rail passengers into taxicabs: it's still true. \"We have a railroad company which is bankrupt beyond comprehension,\" Manos put it to me. \"And yet there isn't a single private company in Greece with that kind of average pay.\" The Greek public-school system is the site of breathtaking inefficiency: one of the lowest-ranked systems in Europe, it nonetheless employs four times as many teachers per pupil as the highest-ranked, Finland's. Greeks who send their children to public schools simply assume that they will need to hire private tutors to make sure they actually learn something. There are three government-owned defense companies: together they have billions of euros in debts, and mounting losses. The retirement age for Greek jobs classified as \"arduous\" is as early as 55 for men and 50 for women. As this is also the moment when the state begins to shovel out generous pensions, more than 600 Greek professions somehow managed to get themselves classified as arduous: hairdressers, radio announcers, waiters, musicians, and on and on and on. The Greek public health-care system spends far more on supplies than the European average-and it is not uncommon, several Greeks tell me, to see nurses and doctors leaving the job with their arms filled with paper towels and diapers and whatever else they can plunder from the supply closets.\n\n\nRead the whole thing...it's insane.\n Tags: crime   finance   Greece   Michael Lewis","saved":"2010-09-15T15:51:02Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"dd9ce7280e2a11bf111235cb4dc8a6f8","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8eccdff8beb4/","kind":"page"},

Ebyline  an angel-financed startup founded by two former Los Angeles Times executives thatlaunched today  doesnt want to do any of that. Co-founder Bill Momary says what the company really wants to do is simple: drag the process of producing and syndicating news content into the 21st century. Ebyline believes it can make journalism more efficient by creating an open marketplace: a kind of iTunes for journalism.\n\nAt the moment, says Momary, the relationship between freelance journalists and the newspapers, magazines and websites they write for is archaic and inefficient (as someone who recently worked for a major newspaper, I can vouch for this). Freelancers have to cold-call publishers and then negotiate their own rates, then they have to invoice and manage their own billing and payment. Ebyline automates that process, handling all the billing and payment between the writer and the publisher. Freelancers can also self-syndicate by putting their content up for bid in Ebylines marketplace.\n\nHaving worked at a newspaper, we knew that the economic model around content was really broken  but not the demand for quality content, because that has actually increased, Momary said in an interview. What publishers really need is a way to cut costs and still provide that quality content, so we built a platform to help publishers and freelancers connect with each other in a more efficient way.\n\nExisting relationships between publishers and newswire services or other content syndication providers are expensive and inefficient, says Momary, because they involve hefty annual fees, and many publishers only make use of a fraction of what they pay for. Ebylines a la carte model allows them to pay for only the articles they actually use, and charges a small fee (8 percent of the total) for being the middleman in the process. It also exposes them to a marketplace of other writers they might not be familiar with, and does the same for freelancers, allowing them to broaden their reach.\n\n\n\nSelling content produced by freelance writers makes Ebyline sound a little like Demand Media, Associated Content and other so-called content farms, but Momary says  Ebyline is upstream or higher on the food chain than these other companies, in the sense that it handles only content produced by trained journalists; freelancers are approved either by having their work published by an existing publisher, or by submitting work that is then judged by Ebyline staff, in the same way that Apple determines whose apps will be allowed into the iTunes store. Ebyline is also focused on news-driven content, he says, rather than content generated based on keywords or a search algorithm.\n\nUnlike a startup such as NewsTilt  which launched earlier this year as a platform for independent journalists but folded several months later  the Ebyline founder says hes not trying to build a new content business, but simply automating and making more efficient one that already exists. Since traditional publishers such as newspapers are desperately trying to reduce costs and become more efficient in order to remain in business, Ebylines pitch seems like it would be a fairly attractive one. The company is already working with Variety magazine, ProPublica, MinnPost and the Texas Observer, and is currently trying to raise a Series A financing round.\n\nRelated content from GigaOM Pro (sub reqd): Developers, Meet Your Hungry New Market: The News\n\nPost and thumbnail photos courtesy of Flickr users Ed Yourdon and Zarko Drincic","saved":"2010-09-11T05:18:19Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"ea56043e38318c5383f0c40942faa823","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/376294485520/","kind":"page"},

But most shopping sites don’t want to bother with creating their own custom mobile app.  So now we are starting to see white-label mobile e-commerce apps.  Today, Magento Commerce, which raised $22 million in March for its open-source e-commerce platform, is getting into the mobile game with white-label apps for existing customers who use its e-commerce backend.  With 70,000 customers, that a lot of built-in sales leads.  Already, 8,000 of them are beta testing the mobile product, including The North Face, the Miami Dolphins, and Flowe(Red).\n\nMagento Mobile is launching today supporting the iPhone, but will soon add the iPad and Android as well.  It essentially translates an existing e-commerce site into a mobile app that fits each device, complete with a full catalog, product search, a shopping cart, ratings, and reviews.  The iPhone app can be skinned any way the retailer likes, and supports PayPal integration.  The product roadmap for later this year includes the addition of barcode scanning, private sales, A/B testing, and analytics.  Magento charges an $800 set-up fee and then a $700 annual fee, which is much cheaper than it would cost for an online store to create its own app and integrate it with its back-end systems.\n\nYou’ve got to be a really loyal customer to download a North Face or Miami Dolphins shopping app, but for those die-hard customers why not give them a better touchscreen shopping experience?  If anything, these apps will serve as good marketing for Magento itself.  You can no longer call yourself a full turnkey e-commerce platform if you don’t support mobile apps.  And when we get to bigger touchscreens, custom mobile apps become more compelling.  Here’s a sneak peak screenshot of what the upcoming iPad app will look like.\n\n\n\nCrunchBase InformationMagentoShopifyInformation provided by CrunchBase\n         \n\n     \n","saved":"2010-09-11T04:10:45Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"5776daa522f5de821f033cda357ab8ff","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3cea69e0e895/","kind":"page"},

Surprisingly, though, there aren't many good ways to read an EPUB other than iBooks, especially if all you want is a quick look on your Mac.\n \n \nO'Reilly Labs hosts Threepress's online Bookworm service, but it requires uploading a book and storing it online, which may be more effort than you want to go to. There's also a cross-platform, open-source application called Calibre that can convert and display EPUBs, but it's clunky and awkward to use. And there's a version of Stanza for the Mac, but unlike the Stanza iOS app, the Mac version strips all formatting and graphics from an EPUB, rendering some titles unreadable. Lastly, there's Adobe Digital Editions, an Adobe AIR-based application \nthat's designed in part to help deal with DRM-protected ebook files across multiple machines; it's not terrible, but I'm not a big fan.\n \n \nSo I was happy to run across EPUBReader, a free add-on for the Firefox Web browser (whether running on the Mac, Windows, or Linux). Although most Firefox add-ons modify the Web experience in some way, EPUBReader simply takes advantage of Firefox's rendering engine to provide a custom display of an EPUB's contents within a Firefox window or tab. (Remember, EPUB files are XHTML inside of a Zip archive.) \n \n \nTo install EPUBReader in Firefox, click the Add to Firefox button on the EPUBReader home page; you'll have to restart Firefox to complete the installation.\n \n \nEPUBReader also tweaks Firefox's settings so clicking a .epub file on a Web page downloads it, processes it, and displays it. You can also drop a local EPUB file on Firefox's window, or double-click one, if you change the Open With application for .epub to Firefox in an EPUB's Get Info window. \n \n \nUnlike downloaded PDF files that you view in a Web browser and then \"lose\" once you close the tab containing the file, EPUBReader keeps every downloaded or displayed PDF in local storage called ePub-Catalog, which you can access from the Tools menu, the Bookmarks menu (at the bottom of the list), or via a button at the bottom of any EPUB you're reading. Even better, the ePub-Catalog window has a pop-up menu listing a few sites from which you can download additional EPUB-formatted titles.\n \n \n\n\nOnce you have an EPUB open within EPUBReader, the mechanics of reading it are nicely obvious. The table of contents appears in a resizable pane on the left side of the window and the actual book appears in the right side. Clicking an item in the table of contents displays the associated content on the \nright, and if there are navigation links within the content, clicking them moves you around in the text as well.\n \n \n\nMost EPUBs will have their own formatting, specified by internal CSS files, but if you prefer, you can modify a number of display options in EPUBReader's preferences. In the table of contents, you can set the background and link colors, along with font and font size. The same background color and font options are available for the content, along with margin width and minimum column width. And if you just want to change the font size, a pair of buttons are available for increasing and decreasing size. (Oddly, Firefox's Zoom \nIn command also works for increasing the size of all the text - table of contents and the actual book text. But the Zoom Out command works only on the book content pane unless you first click in the table of contents pane.)\n \n \nOther buttons let you access the ePub-Catalog window, save the file to a separate location on your hard disk, and set a bookmark (although I couldn't figure out how the boomark feature worked). Finally, a pair of big green buttons let you jump to the previous and next chapters. All of these commands are also available as keyboard shortcuts (Control-click the toolbar to access a menu that lets you display the keyboard shortcuts; you can also hide the toolbar entirely this way).\n \n \nThere's no question that EPUBReader's interface elements are ugly - no Macintosh developer would be caught dead using such awful buttons - but for normal usage, EPUBReader gets out of the way and just displays an EPUB with a clickable table of contents. And whether I'm checking the EPUB version of one of our Take Control ebooks or taking a quick look at something I've found online or been sent, a quick click or drag to Firefox is all that's necessary to load the EPUB in EPUBReader. \n\n \nRead and post comments about this article | Tweet this article\n\nWebCrossing Neighbors Creates Private Social NetworksCreate a complete social network with your company or group'sown look.

The dinner celebrated the strawberry harvest and the farmhands had setup tables under a tent overlooking the fruit fields. As we poured our wine, the farm’s owner, Ryan Voiland, stood up to say a few words about this year’s harvest.\n\nRyan is young, only in his early thirties, a fact he tries to hide with a grizzled black beard. As he spoke, his few words stretched into an enthusiastic dissertation on rain fall and cabbage yields. Eventually, Ryan’s wife, Sarah, took over, leading the group in a prayer to the “earth goddess.” As we sipped strawberry gazpacho, a group of college-aged farm interns formed a song circle in a patch of grass near the chicken coop.\n\nIn the comfort of cynical Boston, the event would have felt over the top, but in the shaded fields of Granby, it made sense. When I looked over to the main table, I saw Ryan take in the scene. He was smiling.\n\nWhat makes Ryan’s story canonical is its start. Ten years earlier, he walked out of Cornell University with an Ivy League diploma in his hand and headed straight into the offices of the Farm Service Agency, where he secured a loan to buy his first farm property. A decade later, Red Fire is a success: it sells organic produce straight to the consumers through farmers markets and a sold-out CSA. When I last visited the farm, in mid-August, they were installing a $200,000 solar array. Ryan loves what he does and does it well.\n\nThe Dream Job Trope\n\nRyan has a dream job — which I define to be an occupation built around a hobby or casual side interest that you enjoy.  (Growing up, Ryan loved to garden, so, naturally, he started a farm.)\n\nThe dream job is a powerful trope in the job satisfaction literature. For example, here’s the opening paragraph from a popular career advice guide:\n\n“[A] New York investment banker becomes a small-town college chef. A college professor becomes a chocolatier. An entrenched corporate exec…converts to the ministry.”\n\nThese are all dream jobs. When Tim Ferriss tells his famous story of an attorney who drops everything to open a Brazilian surf shop, that’s also a dream job, as are most of the examples touted in the perennially popular quit your terrible cubicle job to start a business advice guide niche.\n\nYou like to cook? Become a chef! Love chocolate? Open a chocolate shop! Like surfing on exotic beaches? Open a surf shop! And so on.\n\nWe’re entranced by dream jobs. When we hear stories like the one that opened this post, we feel a rush of aspiration. Hundreds make a living writing books and blogs about mustering the courage to pursue dream jobs, and millions dedicate their day dreaming to the topic. In this post, however, I want to argue that this is a problem.\n\nThe dream job trope isn’t the path to job satisfaction, and it’s not just harmless wistful thinking: it’s instead downright dangerous.\n\nI Don’t Know What I Want, But It Might Be This\n\nIn a fascinating study, published in the Journal of Research in Personality in 1997, a research team lead by Amy Wrzesniewski of the University of Michigan studied the differences between a job, a career, and a calling. Early in the paper they describe a surprising finding:\n\nThe way individuals view work may be a function of [personality] traits, not just reflections of the work itself.\n\nIn other words, the reason why some people see their work as a calling might have little to do with the work itself, and a lot to do with how the person approaches the work. Wrzensniewski’s team, for example, found that the proportions of people calling their work a calling versus a career versus a job, was about the same whether you looked at hundreds of people spread across dozens of occupations, or focused on a small group that all have the same position at the same company.\n\nAround a year ago, inspired by this work, I launched my own (informal) study. My goal was to interview people who self-described as “loving what they do.” As my collection of interviews grew, I was struck by the normalcy of the respondent’s jobs, which included:\n\n\nA certified behavior analyst.\nAn executive assistant.\nA milkman.\nA personal trainer.\nAn employee for a health care consultancy.\nAn employee for a company that designs online ethics courses.\nA language instructor.\nA computer programmer.\n\nNone of these are dream jobs. Instead, their mundane nature reinforces Wrzesniewski’s findings: when it comes to loving what you do, the type of job you have might matter much less than what you do with it.\n\nThis is where the dream job trope becomes dangerous. The more you’re bombarded with messages promoting the dream job path to happiness, the more likely you are to ossify your view of the working world into normal boring jobs vs. exciting dream jobs. Once you’ve made this division, you’re much less likely to start investing the hard, unsexy, longterm work into your current career needed to grow it into something deeply fulfilling. You’ll instead save this mental energy for your vague day dreams of starting a small town wine store or teaching surfing in Cabo.\n\n(See Ramit Sethi’s exhaustively researched Earn 1000k program for more details on the reality of making money by selling services; here a preview: almost everyone who succeeds leverages a valuable skill they built up in a traditional job.)\n\nAssuming you accept this premise, the question remains of how best to nurture this growth of your existing career into something inspiring.  I don’t know all the answers yet, but if you’ve been reading Study Hacks this past year you know that my instincts lead me toward the importance of becoming very good at something rare and valuable and then cashing in the career capital this generates for things you value. \n\nWhen you dive deeper into Ryan’s story, for example, you discover that he grew up around farms and went to Cornell to study fruit and vegetable horticulture in their world class ag school. His story is less about mustering the courage to follow his dreams, and more about the determination required to systematically gather the difficult skills needed to succeed in a demanding (but rewarding) field.\n\nIf these less sexy, but ultimately more fulfilling ideas about work satisfaction interest you, stay tuned: once we discard the saccharine tropes of the “follow your passion” camp, we face a lot more exploration to figure out what’s really going on.\n\n#####\n\nThis post is the first in my new series on Rethinking Passion, which tackles questions concerning the reality of building a deeply satisfying work life. Expect a new post in the series roughly once or twice a month. In the meantime, the following three posts provide an introduction to my previous thinking on the topic:\n\n\nAre Passions Serendipitously Discovered or Painstakingly Constructed?\nBeyond Passion: The Science of Loving What You Do\nDoes a Remarkable Life Requires Courage or Effort?\n\n(Photo by Norm Walsh)\n\n\n\n\n","saved":"2010-09-11T03:51:49Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a06a6734ffb9abe539deb868e3da2ff3","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a83524885a9b/","kind":"page"},

It’s a long video, so here are some of the topics we cover: Whether venture capital still a home run business; why Wilson says “I won’t do (a convertible debt deal) I never have and I hope I never will;” his view on whether crowd sourcing funding will disrupt the industry; whether Twitter appreciates its developers enough; advice for entrepreneurs in other countries looking for US funding and how much salary a founder should ask for. Hands-down my favorite moment is around the five minute mark when I ask what his wish for the venture industry is by the end of the year.

These groups are loud, in many cases vicious, and all have one thing in common: they are wrong, wrong, wrong. The evidence is overwhelming that vaccines don’t cause autism, for example. We know they don’t. \n\nDespite that, it’s clear that the emotional arguments of antivax groups have some traction among people, especially new parents who are understandably concerned and nervous about their children’s health. We here on the reality side of things can talk facts, statistics, and evidence all we want, but to penetrate through to reason we sometimes have to make our arguments more visceral. More demonstrative.\n\nAnd that’s why I loved the recent episode of Penn & Teller’s show about vaccines. They used facts and figures, but they also use humor and emotion, and it’s really effective. In a brilliant move, they opened their show with a fantastic demonstration of just why we need to vaccinate our kids [very NSFW language]:\n\n\n\nI love it! That is precisely right: even if vaccines caused the woes antivaxxers claim — and as Penn says clearly, they don’t — by sheer numbers it’s clear that vaccinations are still critical.\n\nI can’t stop people from listening to the nonsense the antivaxxers spew, but I can hope that the more we talk about it — and the more we show it — the more people will realize that the antivaxxers are not just wrong, but doing something unconscionable: putting our children’s lives at risk.\n\n\n\n\n\nRelated posts:\n\n- Immunization FAQ and some nice stories\n- How safe is Gardasil, and a new antivax FAQ\n- Antivaxxers take note: vaccines stop polio outbreak in Tajikistan\n- BREAKING: Australian antivax group slammed for \"misleading and inaccurate information\"\n- The vaccine song\n\n\n\n\n\n","saved":"2010-09-03T08:16:54Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"86ba5f9b6b8346bc4c0e2903271673cf","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d3b4cefa0ae2/","kind":"page"},

I think many people with the ambition and the opportunity can become excellent CEOs. But it takes a lot of work and a commitment to self improvement. It is a very hard job. It is lonely. And it requires discipline and decisiveness. Most of these traits can be learned.\n\n\nBut who do you learn them from? Certainly not me. I have never been a CEO and never will be. I can help entrepreneurs with many things. But there are some aspects of running a company that I can't help with.\n\n\nSo I encourage most of the CEOs I work with to get mentors or coaches (or both). I have seen this work so well for so many people. You might ask \"what can a coach or a mentor really help me with?\"\n\n\nI'll point to a blog post by Ben Horowitz on \"office politics.\" I tweeted this out yesterday so some of you may have read it already. If you are a CEO or plan to be one someday, you should read it. \n\n\nHere's an example of Ben's advice on what to do when one exec comes to you complaining about the performance of another exec:\nIf they are telling you something that you already know, then the big news is that you have let the situation go too far. Whatever your reasons for attempting to rehabilitate the wayward executive, you have taken too long and now your organization has turned on the executive in question. You must resolve the situation quickly. Almost always, this means firing the executive. While Ive seen executives improve their performance and skill sets, Ive never seen one lose the support of the organization then regain it.\nOn the other hand, if the complaint is new news, then you must immediately stop the conversation and make clear to the complaining executive that you in no way agree with their assessment. You do not want to cripple the other executive before you re-evaluate their performance. You do not want the complaint to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Once youve shut down the conversation, you must quickly re-assess the employee in question. If you find that they are doing an excellent job, then you must figure out the complaining executives motivations and resolve them. Do not let an accusation of this magnitude fester. If you find that the employee is doing a poor job, there will be time to go back and get the complaining employees input, but you should be on a track to remove the poor performer at that point.\n\n\n\nImagine having someone you can pick up the phone and call when this happens to you? How nice would that be?\nYou can get that several ways. You can take an investment from a VC like Ben or Mark Suster or Jeff Glass or many others who have serious operating experience. Or you can bring an experienced and successful CEO (or two) onto your baord. Or you can get a CEO Coach.I would not recommend you overdo it. Getting advice from too many places isn't very good. Pick a mentor/coach and run with it. If you are struggling with the demands of being the boss, the first thing to realize is you are not alone. It is a super hard job. The second thing is to get some help. From someone who has done it before and knows what to do. Trust me, you will be much happier once you do that.","saved":"2010-08-25T12:40:38Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"11b1c7ba68c2d9d05e9567fdc70d348d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7b0f856dbce6/","kind":"page"},

Intel’s Encanto supercomputer in New Mexico has calculated that information, using a complex ocean current simulation.\n\nAs the company described in a blog post, the computer model predicts that the oil on the surface will be carried by the gulf’s Loop Current over hundreds of miles to Florida. Then it will curl around the state and head into the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean. The spill could thus cause damages thousands of miles up the East Coast of the U.S.\n\nThe model was created by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. The Parallel Ocean Program had already been created as part of a theoretical experiment to model the weather in the ocean, and scientists adapted it for the spill. The simulation ran on Intel’s Encanto supercomputer in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. The supercomputer, No. 32 on the list of fastest supercomputers, is a water-cooled machine with 28 tall cabinets and more than 3,500 Intel quad-core Xeon processors.\n\nThe first runs at the simulation took more than 250,000 hours of computer time, with 1,000 cores working in parallel. The simulation showed that the big mass of oil that was deep underwater was moving slowly. But the oil at 65 feet and higher was moving quickly to Louisiana and Florida. In the Gulf Stream, the oil can move 100 miles per day. The simulation isn’t perfect, as it doesn’t take into account things such as oil density and buoyancy. Here’s a video that shows the predicted path of the oil.\n\n\nTags: oil spill\n\nCompanies: Intel\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n\n","saved":"2010-07-10T18:53:22Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"0cb6dbd7175454521c35ece70b5463e9","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e827c8cc1ea1/","kind":"page"},

One of them is to get an Amazon AMI ready for people to create their own blogging servers.\n\nMy goal is to make it as turnkey as possible to set up your own server. One of my frustrations with WordPress is that you have to understand so much about hosting before you start hosting. There's so much you have to understand before you start. It's kind of a Catch-22. You have to be highly motivated, you're making a real commitment. That's why so many people go with wordpress.com. (None of this is presented as fact, just my conjecture.)\n\nWith Scripting2 there will be, at first, a scarcity of hosting options. I want people to seriously consider setting up their own EC2 server. It costs about $90 per month, and it can host dozens of bloggers using Scripting2 (in theory, that's what we're going to find out). The economics work for me. With Radio and Manila, I had to get into the hosting business. This time, I am determined not to be the central point of failure. Eventually it made so sick that I had to drop the ball. This time I don't want it to be dependent on me. That was the mistake last time.\n\nMy role is to work on software and to be a community leader. That's what I do best. \n\nAlso, by having people host their own servers from the start, we get past the bottleneck of the typical \"User Generated Content\" play in the tech world. In that world, the users are like little hamsters in cages spinning around the wheels that drive ad impressions that generate revenue for the tech company and stock options of the programmers go up in value, and the little hamsters have the satisfaction of knowing they helped make other people rich. This always struck me as out of balance. \n\nIt works when the founders can find a quick exit as the YouTube guys did. But in the more common case, the company drifts and the platform suffers, and the users wait and things never get better.\n\nThe WordPress guys found a better formula, by offering people the option of hosting their own blogs on their own hardware for free. Even your wordpress.com blog is free. You only pay when you get serious about your blog. When you need features that serious people need. That ecosystem has a much better feel to it. And they get to relax, get rich, and the users have their independence. \n\nAt my point in life, I'm less concerned with making money myself, and more concerned about setting up something that works, long-term. I was looking for an answer and along came Amazon and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. With EC2, I get to create my own operating system, and offer it to you. Eventually I can even ask for some of the money to flow back to me to fund the continued development of the software. Maybe I'll even get rich from it, that wouldn't be so terrible. \n\nUnlike the WordPress ecosystem, that had evolved to create entities like Bluehost, who have confusing startup plans, we'll have one that's a simple howto that takes at most an hour from beginning to end, and has zero commitment to anyone. You can launch the server, create your blog, and after one day decide it's not for you, and owe Amazon less than $1 for the experience. (It's all charged to your credit card the same way you pay for books or clothes.)\n\nSo now I'm swinging back to polish the AMI, get it so that the code within auto-updates properly, and then at some point I'll be looking for guinea pigs er testers to try it out. \n","saved":"2010-07-08T09:49:31Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b8d80ed95479f373ebcd10e8dcdafeab","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/bba3426ff4a0/","kind":"page"},

Small cakes are miniature works of art, and offerings of coffee and gelato help round out the shops appeal  the only thing missing is a more robust savory option, although a) theyve only been open a day, and b) the quiche looked quite good.\n\nTheir eclair ($3, if memory serves, pictured above) is a reinvention of the form. Boasting a crunchy, streusel-style topping and a rich chocolate filling, the appropriately chewy pastry is modestly sized and deeply flavored. Similarly classic and vivid is the macaroon ($1.95)  we tried an Earl Grey with housemade orange marmalade filling version that was punchy and delicious, with all the crispy-chewy texture youd hope for.\n\n\nBecca Dilley / Heavy Table\n\nA baguette ($2.75) was good, but not quite at the level of local champ Rustica  the exterior was soft, but the interior had real substance, flavor, and texture.

Although I’ve traded in my cycling career for life as a Googler, I’m still a fan and enjoy watching my former teammates and friends battle in races like the Tour de France, which started on Saturday. While the cyclists were preparing to tackle the pave of Arrenberg and the Cols in the Alps, I got to thinking about ways that we can bring that experience to the hundreds of millions of fans who will be following the Tour de France over the next few weeks. Google is home to many other cycling enthusiasts, so we got together to work on ways to build a My Tracks-based gadget that will allow all the other fans to follow the action like never before.The My Tracks application for Android phones lets you record and share your own outdoor activities, and now Team HTC-Columbia will use a special version of the app with SRM to transmit their telemetry and location in real-time as they make their way through the 3,642 kilometers of the Tour de France. The nine riders (sadly, now eight, as Adam Hanson was injured on Sunday) on Team HTC-Columbia are carrying HTC Legend phones with ANT+ that use My Tracks to capture their location along with their power, heart rate, cadence and speed. On www.google.com/mytrackstour, you’ll see a Google Map showing the team members’ location on the course and a detailed telemetry report. You can observe how Michael Rogers’ heart rate spikes as he attacks the climbs in the Alps on Stage 9, see how many watts Mark Cavendish puts out in the sprint on the famous sprinters’ stage into Bordeaux, and see just how fast riders climb the famous Col du Tourmalet.From the image above, you can see how Maxime Monfort took the lead during Stage 2 between Bruxelles and Spa yesterday. Right now, the riders are racing in Stage 3, which takes them across the border into France and you can follow all the latest action on our website or directly on your own iGoogle page. The team also built a map gadget that is available for you to embed on your own website or blog. We’re also publishing an API that any web developer or broadcaster can use to build their own custom application or use to enhance the live television coverage. I'm excited about the potential for web developers and broadcasters to make use of the API and data in creative ways to help all the Tour de France followers (myself included!) get even closer to the action.This project was the work of many Googlers in their 20% time, and as cycling fans ourselves, we’re happy to be able to share it with the world. We hope you enjoy this unique way of following Team HTC-Columbia over the next few weeks.Posted by Dylan Casey, Product Manager\n  \n","saved":"2010-07-06T14:38:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b360b0c3037a7eda3f6e8aa0618e2191","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6c5b695d5780/","kind":"page"},

In what's easily one of the most jaw-dropping demonstrations of the year, this here digital eyedropper is a fanciful new concept that could certainly grow some legs if implemented properly in the market place. Designed as a \"tangible interface for manipulating abstract digital information as if it were water,\" Slurp can \"extract (slurp up) and inject (squirt out) pointers to digital objects,\" enabling connected machines and devices to have information transferred from desktop to desktop (or desktop to speakers, etc.) without any wires to bother with. We can't even begin to comprehend the complexity behind the magic, but all you need to become a believer is embedded after the break.

This time, it's the Journal Register Company, a U.S. newspaper chain with 170 publications. \n\n\nCalling it the Ben Franklin Project, the company tried open source for a month. Things went so well it decided to make it permanent and company-wide for its 18 daily newspapers and their websites. \n\nSponsor\n\n\nIn a somewhat cutesy press release, the company declares its \"independence from proprietary publishing systems.\"\n\n\nNewspapers have seen a sustained drop in readership, and therefore in revenues, over the last half-decade. The ability to cut cost on something as elemental as production, by dropping expensive proprietary software, is exciting. But so is watching a company in an allegedly change-resistant sector see the light bulb go off over its head. \n\n\n\"The Ben Franklin Project not only proves that websites and newspapers can be freed from the restraints of legacy, proprietary publishing systems, but also heralds the potential of an open and transparent news-gathering process. The Project allowed audience members to help shape editorial story budgets through crowd sourcing.\"\n\nBen photo by Mark Skrobola\n\nDiscuss","saved":"2010-07-05T03:55:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"839bd57ec939f11cb252e605656bfacd","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e7fc46a6f764/","kind":"page"},

They are built using Google’s newly expanded base map dataset from last October, and will as much as possible be accompanied by Street View and Trail View imagery captured by Google cars and trikes. Guymon told us that about 10 percent of Maps usage today is for walking directions, with public transit on the rise and driving directions still owning the majority.

On average, I tweet about once an hour, for seven to ten hours each week day. I noticed that the active, high quality Twitter users that I follow  tend to tweet at least three times per hour, so I decided to emulate their  process and also tweet two or three times per hour.\n\n\nThe result? I saw no noticeable change in the number of mentions, @replies or retweets (RT) of my posts during and after the experiment. I normally receive an average of five to eight mentions per day and that’s how much I saw during the experiment, too, even when I doubled or tripled my tweets.\n\n\nSince the experiment, I’ve returned to my pre-experiment tweet average. Since upping my tweet quantity didn’t appear to have any value, there’s no reason to bombard my followers with more tweets.\n\n\n\nMore on Social media\n\n\n\nFiltering the Social Web With ShareThis\nWeb Life\n\n\nThe Problem With Social Media\nWeb Life\n\n\nChris Brogan’s Crash Course in Social Media\nWeb Life\n\n\nJust How Often Should You Blog?\nWeb Life\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI asked people on Twitter why they thought the experiment hadn’t made an impact. Many people responded that it’s the quality of posts, rather than the quantity, that makes all the  difference, and there were also some responses that suggested I should have also tried changing when I posted, rather than sticking to my usual schedule.\n\n\nFor me, this provides some evidence that quantity doesn’t matter much in  social media, although I still don’t believe there are any hard-and-fast rules.\n\n\nHave you tried a similar experiment?

While this wasn’t an exhaustive scientific study, it does reveal a trend that clearly shows that blogging is losing its luster with today’s younger generation. There are many factors that could have contributed to this drastic decline, such as the plethora of real-time communication platforms like social networks, the explosion of gaming platforms (Wii, Playstation, Xbox) and 24/7 access to instant entertainment such as Netflix and Hulu. Regardless of the reasons, the bottom line is that young people are getting bored of traditional blogging.\n\n\nWhat’s the Problem?\n\nI think part of the problem with blogs is that they are too static and dull. We need to infuse new life into blogs and make them more dynamic. Just as Flash added a freshness to web sites when it first appeared on the scene, we need to do something that will change the game for blogging.\n\n\nThe other part of the problem involves the incredible shrinking attention span of readers/viewers. Hollywood learned long again that motion pictures need to reach out and grab the audience right away within the first 10 minutes or else its opening weekend will be its last. That’s why most movies look and feel like music videos these days. Quick cut editing and special effects reign supreme. Even the publishing industry has taken its queue from the movie industry and insist that its authors write tighter and more exciting stories.\n\n\nWhat’s the Answer?\n\nI believe the answer could be the same one that’s being touted as the potential savior of newspapers and magazines: The Apple iPad and similar devices, plus the new digital newsstand that it will usher in. Yes, I am suggesting that we look at blogs the same way we look at newspapers and magazines. It’s not a coincidence that many blogs have experienced increased subscriptions after changing to a more magazine-styled theme. Imagine providing your content in a more dynamic and exciting manner, like Wired’s demo iPad app:\n\n\n\n\n\nKiss Your RSS Goodbye?\n\nSome pundits predict that subscribing to RSS feeds will become obsolete, thanks to technology such as PuSH (PubSubhubbub) and the proliferation of mobile applications. This could be why many blogging professionals have already started making their blogs available as iPhone apps. Their reasoning is that they want their work to be accessible and available to as many people as possible, and if it means porting it to a new platform, then so be it. The good news is that these same iPhone apps will also work on the iPad. Another factor in the increase of “blogs as apps” is the continuing decline in the cost of having an application developed. Pretty soon, releasing your own app will become as common as launching a blog.\n\n\nContent is Still King\n\nI’m not suggesting that glitz and glamor are better than substance and message. On the contrary, I firmly believe content will always remain the most important aspect of any blog, newspaper or magazine. I’m just saying that we cannot ignore the obvious truth of today’s readers and viewers. We cannot stick our heads in the sand and hope that the quality of our content alone will win the day. We need to deliver our best work (be it blog post, article, movie, book, etc.) in the best packaging available if we want to give it a chance to be consumed/digested and, ultimately, appreciated.\n\n\nThe new generation of mobile devices such as the iPad and other tablet computers will become ubiquitous and will help us deliver our message in exciting new ways. We should not lament this changing of the guard; instead we should embrace it and adapt to it, and take our blogging to new heights.\n\n\nWhat do you think? Could iPads and similar devices usher in a new age of blogging?\n\n\nRelated GigaOM Pro content (sub. req.): \n\n\nWeb Tablet Survey: Apple’s iPad Hits Right Notes\n\n       \n    \n","saved":"2010-03-04T04:37:05Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b4b21d0d3cf6d695dda2f064984fda96","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/56338ab1eca4/","kind":"page"},

A publisher's ability to manage this process can have a significant impact on how much money they make from their online content.Imagine you're a major online publisher with a popular global surfing website and an ad sales team.  Every second of every day, you have difficult decisions about what ads to show and how to measure their relative performance.  For example:In the same ad space, a surfboard wax advertiser may want to run a static image ad for your Australian readers, while an airline offering flights to Hawaii may want to run an expandable interactive ad for your American readers.A fast-food restaurant wants to run their burger ads before noon and their pizza ads in the afternoon.You've sold 10 different surfboard makers a million ad slots at slightly different prices; now you have to allocate them across your various webpages to fulfill all these orders over the next two weeks.One of your surfing tournament reviews is linked to by a popular news site and you have a surge in traffic. Your sales team couldn't predict this, so you're potentially left without any ads for thousands of readers. You want to fill this ad space by selling it via an ad network which has ads available.This is really just scratching the surface. Managing ad space can involve faxes, emailed orders, the manual scheduling of different ad campaigns across multiple sites and difficult decisions about how to allocate ad space most effectively.Major online publishers use ad serving technology to manage the complex process of how and when the ads they have sold appear on their websites.  In recent years, we've invested significantly in our ad serving products — DoubleClick's DART for Publishers for large publishers and Google Ad Manager for growing publishers.  Thousands of major online publishers use these products to serve billions of ad impressions every day.But we see an opportunity to improve ad serving even further by combining Google's technology and infrastructure with DoubleClick's display advertising and ad serving experience.  Since we acquired DoubleClick in March 2008, our engineering and product teams have been working with online publishers to tackle the obstacles that prevent them from maximizing revenues from their websites.The upgraded DFP includes a wide variety of features that will help publishers to get the most value out of their online content:A new interface that has been completely redesigned to save time and reduce errors. Far more detailed reporting and forecasting data to help publishers understand where their revenue is coming from and what ads are most valuable.Sophisticated algorithms that automatically improve ad performance and delivery.A new, open, public API which enables publishers to build and integrate their own apps with DFP, or integrate apps created for DFP by a growing third-party developer community (apps under development today include sales, order management and workflow tools).Integration with the new DoubleClick Ad Exchange's \"dynamic allocation\" feature, which maximizes revenue by enabling publishers to open up their ad space to bids from multiple ad networks.  Dynamic allocation is described in this document [PDF].DFP comes in two flavors, tailored for different publishers' needs: DoubleClick for Publishers, for the largest online publishers, and DFP Small Business, a simple, free version designed for growing online publishers. We'll be upgrading current DART for Publishers publishers to DoubleClick for Publishers over the next year as we continue to add features and modules, and we'll be moving Google Ad Manager customers to DFP Small Business in the coming weeks.To reflect our continued investment in DoubleClick's products, as well as the central role of DoubleClick's technology products within Google's display advertising business, we're also today unveiling some changes to the DoubleClick logos — including typeset changes, incorporating a new \"by Google\" theme and retiring the \"DART\" brand.The upgraded DoubleClick for Publishers is a perfect example of our continuing innovation in this area, and we believe that it will add significant value to online publishers' content.  You can read more about the features of the upgraded DFP on the DoubleClick blog and on the DFP website.Posted by Neal Mohan, Vice President of Product Management\n \n","saved":"2010-02-23T16:57:53Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"aa0fc1138d5542c66aaea23b9e318fc8","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6374a2d9a212/","kind":"page"},

The graph above tells a story of how we've grown over the past three years in terms of number of tweets created per day. Please note that tweets from accounts identified as spam have been removed so the counts in this chart do not include spam.Folks were tweeting 5,000 times a day in 2007. By 2008, that number was 300,000, and by 2009 it had grown to 2.5 million per day. Tweets grew 1,400% last year to 35 million per day. Today, we are seeing 50 million tweets per day—that's an average of 600 tweets per second. (Yes, we have TPS reports.)Tweet deliveries are a much higher number because once created, tweets must be delivered to multiple followers. Then there's search and so many other ways to measure and understand growth across this information network. Tweets per day is just one number to think about. We'll make time to share more information so please stay tuned.","saved":"2010-02-23T16:56:21Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"55ed821571ff7d4615ceb64e7f56deb4","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c67b85b5e421/","kind":"page"},

For website application developers, getting any sort of connection to telephones can be a show-stopper. Wireless carriers, which are enormous bureaucracies, can take forever to approve and support the connection. Twilio was founded in 2007 to solve that problem at an affordable price. Twilio offers Web app makers an API connection to phone service, for which Twilio already has the hookup to phone service. Twilio will sell your company one or more phone numbers that are already live and ready to take or make calls.\n\nHigh-profile customers include the Democratic National Committee, which hands out advocacy apps that connect constituents to their elected officials’ phone lines. The Ground Zero Museum lets people call in and leave spoken remembrances that will be playable at the museum when it is completed. But of course the biggest target for Twilio is brand marketers. Fans of the band Lamb of God, for example, can order a pre-recorded phone call from drummer Chris Adler via the band’s website.\n\nToday, Twilio announced that they now have an SMS interface to their API, too. It’s already been stress-tested at a recent Salesforce.com conference, where attendees could text in the booth number of their favorite exhibitor to a people’s-choice contest. Early-stage mobile payments service Venmo is using Twilio for payments via text: “Send $5 to Stupify.com.”\n\nThe company also announced that it has lowered its prices for all past, present and future customers. Phone numbers have been knocked down from $5 per month apiece — really, that’s practically free for a business-enabling Web-to-phone connection — to $2 for toll-free numbers and $1 per month for local numbers in the United States. Many clients buy only one number, but online retailers sometimes rent thousands of numbers. They place a different number in each Web ad they serve. That way, when a customer dials a call center to order a product, the vendor knows which ad reeled that buyer in.\n\nTwilio, a San Francisco startup, has received several million dollars in funding in two rounds. The most recent, a Series A second round in December, totaled $3.7 million from Union Square Ventures, the Founders Fund, angel Mitch Kapor and several others.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2010-02-10T05:08:22Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"56663de18eceec83748afb623121f792","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/29e4a4aa73f7/","kind":"page"},

The redesign brings current discussions to the top of the screen for easy discoverability and quick access. We also cleaned up the message design and added avatars to each message in the list.\n\n\nWhy redesign?\n\nRedesigns are meant to solve problems better than the original design. So what was the problem with the Basecamp messages section? The problem was that you couldn't tell which messages had active discussions. The message section treated comments as second class citizens.\n\n\nA messages posted two weeks ago could have a hot discussion brewing in the comments section, but you'd never know by visiting the message section inside the project. You'd have to scroll past dozens of newer messages to finally find that older message. And then you'd have to look carefully to see when the last comment was posted. Only then would you realize that there's a discussion going on in there.\n\n\nNew: \"Most active discussions\" section\n\nAt the top of the messages section in a project you'll now find a block called \"Most active discussions.\" It's a quick list of the three messages with the most recent comments. We show up to five avatars from the five most recent commenters on that message, as well as link right to the comment section of that message. At at glance this gives you a good feel for who's participating. You can hover your mouse over any avatar (including generic avatars) to see people's names.\n\n\n \n\n\nNow every time you visit the messages section inside a project you'll know where the three most current discussions are taking place. The message with the most recent comment is at the top followed by the next two.\n\n\nNew: Redesigning the message itself\n\nAs part of this redesign we wanted to clean up the actual message display as well.\n\n\nHere's what a message used to look like:\n\n\n \n\n\nAnd here's what messages look like today:\n\n\n \n\n\nFirst you'll notice the avatar of the person who posted it. Before you had to hunt to find out who posted the message. Now you'll know by photo. Plus we put the poster's name in bold right above the message. Before it was down at the bottom.\n\n\nWe also simplified the header and footer of each message. Now there's an explicit \"Go to message\" link as well. Before you had to know the \"3 comments\" link would take you to the message. We still have the comments link, but now we're clearer about how to get to the message. Overall it's a lot easier to digest with fewer scattered bits of information competing for your attention.\n\n\nIt's live!\n\nThe updates are live and in your account right now. Check it out with your own data. We think you're going to find this is a big improvement over the way it used to be.\n\n\nThanks again for using Basecamp.\n","saved":"2010-02-10T04:52:07Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"1099256350090599f344a547867711bd","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0441d1cd06f7/","kind":"page"},

Over the course of the year, VCs invested a total of $17.7 billion in 2,795 deals, the lowest total since 1997, according to the MoneyTree Report from the National Venture Capital Association and PricewaterhouseCoopers.\n\nOn the bright side, the worst hit came from numbers that we’ve already reported on, since investments really plummeted during the first half of this year. Funding went up in the third quarter, and more-or-less held steady in the fourth. The amount invested went down from $5.1 billion in the third quarter to $5.0 billion in the fourth quarter, but the numbers of deals went up from 689 to 794. So VCs were making smaller bets, but they placed more fo them. Another reason for optimism: There were more seed and early-stage deals in Q4 than in any other quarter this year, so new ideas are still getting money.\n\nTwo of the industries we spend a lot of time covering at VentureBeat took a big funding hit in 2009. Internet-specific companies received $2.9 billion dollars, down 39 percent from 2008. Cleantech fell even further to $1.9 billion, a decline of 52 percent. Meanwhile, VCs put more money into biotech ($3.5 billion) than any other sector, and even then, biotech saw a 19 percent drop from 2008.\n\nNVCA President Mark Heesen acknowledged the drop in a statement released with the report, saying, “The venture industry had no choice but to slow the investment pace in 2009.” But he also offered an optimistic view of the year to come.\n\n“Now that the economy has begun to show signs of improvement, we expect to see dollars flow more freely back into those sectors that offered the most promise before the recession began — clean technology, life sciences and IT,” Heesen said. “The seed and early stage pipeline needs replenishing across all industries and the health of the startup community in the next decade will be dependent upon more robust first-time financings. 2010 should be the year to begin that process in earnest.”\n\nAtlas Venture’s Jeff Fagnan, who discussed about the numbers during the press conference call, also acknowledged that it has been a slow year for investments. The word for 2009 was “triage,” he said, as venture firms found themselves with smaller reserves for follow-on funding than expected and more portfolio companies that needed help. As a result, most VCs’ attention was devoted to existing portfolio companies, either by offering them a fresh infusion of funds or occasionally by pulling the plug, and they spent less time “being aggressive in the marketplace.” Even when VCs made new investments, Fagnan said they were usually looking for safe bets, rather than “true innovation.”\n\nIf you want to hear more about how the venture landscape is changing, we’re partnering with the Founder Institute to hold a Future of Funding event on February 18.\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2010-01-22T05:00:38Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"f2ac4379722d685ad1467b024601002b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/624ae980aaf6/","kind":"page"},

While that may sound like an incremental release, it represents a significant milestone in the ongoing story of fonts on the web. This marks the first browser to support the emerging Web Open Font Format, or WOFF.\n\nThis new standard font format was debated and refined for months, and we announced our support as consensus emerged. As we said back then, a standard based on collaboration that embraces the web’s native openness is a good thing.\n\nSo that’s why we’re not just voicing support for WOFF, but building it into our service. Over the next few days, Typekit will start serving WOFF files to Firefox 3.6. If you use Typekit to serve fonts on your website, you won’t need to do anything. Your users will automatically get the right fonts for their browsers. And if the format or browser support changes in the future, your CSS and fonts will be seamlessly upgraded.\n\nWeb standards are important, but keeping up with them can be a challenge. That’s one of the reasons we think Typekit is valuable — we’ll keep you current and compliant so you can focus on being creative.\n\n       ","saved":"2010-01-21T20:30:17Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"01fa329141fb87730636f97e7ead6bd6","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3b2ca90dde3f/","kind":"page"},

Social Technographics was carefully constructed, not as a segmentation, but as a profile (that is, the groups overlap). That's because the actual data told me that people participate in multiple behaviors, and not everyone at a higher level on the ladder actually does everything in the lower rungs.\nWell, it worked. Despite the rapid pace of technology adoption, the rungs on the ladder have shown steady growth, with some (like Joiners) growing faster than others (like Creators). We have analyzed data for 13 countries, for business buyers, and even for voters. My colleagues and I have done profiles for over a hundred clients, profiling Walmart shoppers, non-profit donors, and doctors.\nIn all that time, only one thing has been bugging me: there was no place for Twitter.\nWe fixed that today.\n  \nAs you can see from the graphic, we added a new rung, \"Conversationalists\". Conversationalists reflects two changes. First, it includes not just Twitter members, but also people who update social network status to converse (since this activity in Facebook is actually more prevalent than tweeting). And second, we include only people who update at least weekly, since anything less than this isn't much of a conversation.\nConversationalists intrigue me. They're 56% female, more than any other group in the ladder. While they're among the youngest of the groups, 70% are still 30 and up.\nThe data from this survey continues the trends from the last two years -- Spectators are maxing out at around 70%, Joiners are still growing rapidly, and Creators are still growing slowly.\nAs in any social environment, people have found lots of uses for this data, some of which make sense to me, and some which don't. Here are three ways you can use it:\n1. Convince your boss this stuff is for real, and that if you haven't jumped on it, you're late.\n2. Profile your customer base, and see what they're ready for, before planning a project to reach out to them. (After all, People is the first step in the POST process.)\n3. Segment your audience; build different strategies for different segments. (Social is so prevalent now that a single approach for your company is probably too broad.)\nHow will you use it?\nNote: For Forrester clients, full access to the research is available here.\n\n","saved":"2010-01-21T02:14:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"323d2683ffa97fa9939262acb122632c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c96600c17fbe/","kind":"page"},

The conclusion is that houses are cheap and therefore should not fall further in value. Nowhere in this analysis does the author, Brett Arends, consider the employment situation. If median earnings for those who continue to be in the workforce remain the same but 2 million more Americans lose their jobs, that’s approximately 1 million mortgages that won’t be paid. There isn’t a lot of demand for new or upgraded housing from unemployed people, who ultimately will have to move in with relatives.\n\n[Note that stable wages for those with political power, but an ever-larger group of potential workers thrown under the bus is exactly what Mancur Olson predicted.]\n\nThe author treats Boston and New York City as anomalies, saying that because housing prices haven’t fallen as much they still might fall farther. To me, however, what distinguishes New York City from Miami or Las Vegas is that nearly $1 trillion of tax dollars have been sent to New York, a percentage of which turned into Wall Street bonuses, a percentage of which turned into demand for housing. Boston has an unusual number of industries that can survive the collapse of the rest of the U.S. economy, e.g., universities that can admit foreign students, biotech firms that develop drugs for world markets, and multinational high-tech firms such as EMC.\n\nIs a house in Michigan cheap? Not if the number of houses exceeds the number of jobs. In that case, the value of an extra house is $0.\n","saved":"2010-01-14T05:12:03Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"05c28890697d96cf8fa019b387a4ca6e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1781c595c60e/","kind":"page"},

Backup software is one of those topics near and dear to our hearts, since a solid backup strategy has prevented us from losing essential data (not to mention untold hours of work) on numerous occasions over the last 20 years.\n \n \nWhat sets CrashPlan apart, and why we're so happy to have Code42 Software as a sponsor, is that it not only makes offsite Internet backup possible, it makes it possible for free. The neatest part of the CrashPlan approach is that you can trade hard disks with a friend who also has a high-speed Internet connection and then back up to each other. Despite the massive amount of data most of us have on our hard disks, this works because you can make your initial backup locally (with the hard disk directly connected to your Mac) and then swap with your friend. For all subsequent backups, CrashPlan watches for changed files and transmits only the data that has changed between the current version and the backed-up version, also known as the \n\"diff\" or the \"delta.\" Not only that, but the basic CrashPlan software is free for personal use. \n \n \nIf you want to use CrashPlan in a commercial setting, or if you want continuous real-time backup (the free version backs up only once per day) and priority customer support, a CrashPlan+ upgrade costs $59.99 per computer. And if you don't have a willing friend with a high-speed connection, you can always pay for the CrashPlan Central Internet backup service - it runs between $3.47 and $4.50 per month for an individual unlimited plan or between $5.33 and $8 per month for an unlimited family plan. Optionally, an additional $124.99 will pay for a 1 TB drive to be shipped to you for your initial seed \nbackup (or restore!).\n \n \nCrashPlan saved our bacon in one extremely unpleasant crash when Time Machine failed, and even better, I've never even noticed CrashPlan working behind the scenes, unlike Time Machine, which is often quite noticeable when it starts scanning. That helps explain why CrashPlan is recommended as part of a good backup strategy in Joe Kissell's \"Take Control of Mac OS X Backups\" and the just-published \"Take Control of Easy Mac Backups.\" It's also particularly useful for backing up the computers of relatives for whom you provide tech support.\n \n \nWith this long-term sponsorship, Code42 Software joins a number of other top companies in the Apple industry, including Bare Bones Software (BBEdit and Yojimbo), Fetch Softworks (Fetch), Mark/Space (The Missing Sync, SyncTogether), MacSpeech (MacSpeech Dictate), Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit (Microsoft Office), and VMware (VMware Fusion). Running a serious Internet publication requires non-trivial expenses for hardware, software, staff salaries, outside development costs, \ntravel, and more, and without the support of our sponsors and direct contributions from readers, we wouldn't be able to continue publishing TidBITS.

Vet Klingensmith Named Star Trib Publisher; 30 Newsroom Staffers Laid Off","note":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMinneapolis’ Star Tribune has named former Time Inc. (NYSE: TWX) exec Michael Klingensmith as its new publisher, the paper reported. He replaces Chris Harte, who stepped down as chairman and publisher last June as the company was working its way through bankruptcy. Separately from Klingensmith’s hire, the paper, which emerged from Chapter 11 last September, also said it was laying off 30 newsroom support staffers, the AP reported. No reporter or editor posts were lost in the job cuts.\n\nKlingensmith was most recently a managing director at M&A adviser AdMedia Partners, where he has been since June 2008. He held a number of posts during his roughly two decades at Time Inc. In 1989, he helped create Entertainment Weekly; before that, Klingensmith was Time Inc.‘s CFO. He ended his tenure at the publishing company as president of Sports Illustrated, a post he held from 1998 to 2002.\n\n\nWhile the paper has exited bankruptcy, it still faces the same problems with ad revenues and costs plaguing the rest of the industry. Mike Sweeney, the current Star Trib chairman said that Klingensmith was chosen as the publisher in the hope that, despite his traditional media background, he would be able to update the newspaper’s business model.\n\n\nRelated\n\n\nTimberwolves Owner And Publishing Exec Partner On Bid For Stake In Star Trib\nStar-Tribune Plans To Emerge From Bankruptcy By Fall; Publisher Harte To Step Down\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2010-01-08T05:31:48Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7888fa44c4c6302fd1e0c5559724cf6e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/71fdb74ac7b7/","kind":"page"},

It was a huge boon for me, helping me keep my support folders a little cleaner as I began the early stages of my habit of installing 2 or more new apps a day, trying them, and usually deleting them. It let me drag an application to its interface, and would then search for related files that application may have left around the hard drive. A quick double-check (by me) to make sure it wasn't mistaken, one click and poof, all traces removed.\n\nI've tried other, similar applications over the years ... CleanApp has some great features, and Amnesia is pretty cool, but AppZapper \"just worked.\" I managed to stay loyal to it long after I had assumed its development had gone dead. Then, to my pleasant surprise, a major update dropped yesterday. My AppZapper is not only freshened up, it's bursting with some very cool features.\n\n \n\n\nThe standard drag and drop panel of old is still around, and its automatic search is snappier. Up at the top corner of that first panel, though, is a switch flips the panel around, revealing the \"Hit List.\" This clever screen lets you sort a grid of all your applications, plugins, preference panels and widgets (all together or individually) based on their last-opened date and file size. \n\nYou can, for example, see all the apps on your drive that are larger than 50MB and haven't been touched in the last two months. From there, you can click on one, see its related files in the bottom bar, and click the \"Zap\" button to say goodbye. You can also launch apps directly from this screen, which is helpful for those moments when the app's name sounds familiar, but you can't for the life of you remember what it does. These are 90% sha-na-na-na, hey hey for me, but it's always nice to be sure.\nRandom warning: the new version of AppZapper makes a rather loud, somewhat grating zapping sound when performing a delete. I recommend you jump straight into preferences and disable that (before it scares the whole house in the middle of the night because you forgot to turn your speakers down when you were testing it out).\n\nLastly, there's a whole license management section built into AppZapper now. It's not just for apps you hate anymore, but the ones you love. Just drag items from Finder or out of the Hit List to indicate you own them. It will create a card for the app, and clicking the card flips it around and allows you to enter purchase info, license details and attach files. Not as full featured as something like 1Password or LicenseKeeper, but it's a really well-executed touch on this new incarnation of an old classic.\n\nMy license of old seemed to upgrade fine, so I believe existing owners of AppZapper can enjoy the upgrade for free. New users can try out a free download, and pay $12.95US if you love it.\nTUAWAppZapper: a great big upgrade for a small utility originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:15:00 EST.

The problem is that most Internet users have no idea what a DNS server is, let alone how to configure one, or test how fast it is. But one Googler has taken it upon himself to create an easy tool for testing DNS and recommending what you use with his 20% time.\n\nThomas Stromberg, a Google engineer based in Belgium, created Namebench, a piece of software to find the fastest DNS server available for you to use. The program is available for OS X, Windows, and Linux, and the entire thing has been open sourced by Stromberg.\n\nOnce you install it, Namebench couldn’t be easier to use. You simply load it up, hit the “Start Benchmark” button and let it do its thing. Depending on the number of test you run (you can set that), it will come back with the results in a few minutes. The results open in your web browser, showing you the first, second, and third best DNS options right up top. There are also a number of charts and and graphs if you want to drill down into the numbers.\n\nNow, you might worry that since Namebench was created by a Googler, it would promote Google Public DNS above all others. But actually, in the test I just ran, Google’s solution ranged from the middle of all the DNS offerings to the slowest. OpenDNS, considered Google Public DNS’ biggest competitor, was actually the fastest.\n\n“Are you a power-user with 5 minutes to spare? Do you want a faster internet experience?,” is the way Stromberg pitches it on the site for project. If that applies to you, you should check it out. Stromberg wrote more about the idea a few months ago before Google Public DNS was a reality.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchGear drool over the sexiest new gadgets and hardware.\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2010-01-02T05:21:58Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"648948fae851372614ee9a8678616329","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c86ced7e4525/","kind":"page"},

I chose to make this one a bit more like a conventional piece you might find on a news website’s feature pages.  Setting myself a one evening time limit on getting the shoot done we filmed everything in about 4 hours.  The star of the show is 28 year old Marvin who spends all his money on a Mercedes SLK to drive around Singapore in, mostly cruising with his friends at night.\n\nSetting up the 1DmkIV and trying not to get run over.\n\nI enlisted the help of a small group of friends to assist me in getting it done quickly.  I was joined by Wee Han Yeo who I met at the Cathay Photo workshop earlier in the week, Russell Boyce of Reuters and his young son Lewis, as well as local Reuters photographer Vivek.\n\nThe equipment was kept simple, unlike Vincent Laforet I don’t really have the access to the best gear for car shooting (gotta love the Gyros and stabilizer rigs Vincent!),  instead all I had was a tripod, the new Genus DSLR bars fitted with a Redrock Micro follow focus, along with a Redrockmico Event rig.  All the car to car and interior stuff was handheld.  Lens wise I had a 14mm f2.8L, 16-35mm f2.8L, 70-200 f2.8L and 300mm f2.8L lenses.  I shot in 1080p/25 with the shutter speed at 1/50th to match the streetlights, aperture was wide open at f2.8 the whole time.  The amazing thing is that from the video you can’t tell just how dark it really was, it was pretty damn dark!\n\nA hybrid Genus/Redrockmicro rig and follow focus in action.\n\nEdited as usual in Final Cut Pro there is a very light grade on the footage and a few bits of smoothcam to make up for the lack of a Gyro or Steadicam.\n\nThis time it was in virtually no light, shooting mostly in the 2000-6400 ASA range using streetlight with a Litepanels Micropro LED light for fill in.  For the driving shots we put the Micropro on the dashboard pointing at Marvin to give his face is little glow.\n\nMarvin is lit by a Litepanels Micropro sat on the dashboard\n\nRussell’s son Lewis did a lot of the audio separately using a Zoom H4n audio recorder.  For the section where Marvin is talking in the car the Zoom was left in the car and synced later in post.\n\nI was really happy with the quality of the images I was getting is such low light but please decide for yourself, there is a downloadable link for a 1080p version on Vimeo.\n\n","saved":"2010-01-01T13:37:29Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"1f540bd5e302908e18a896bb68c02bb0","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7d182acd9367/","kind":"page"},

Download MagicPrefs Immediately.","note":"Back in November, I wrote up a review of the new Magic Mouse, noting that it was “Apple’s best mouse ever, but…” Essentially, the problem is a software one. Apple gave its new mouse multi-touch capabilities, but only takes advantage of a fraction of what it can do. (And yes, it’s fully multi-touch capable.) A new third-party program called MagicPrefs, enables all the multi-touch capabilities you could ever want for the device — and even some you likely don’t.\n\nMagicPrefs, which is made by developer Vlad Alexa, is a free piece of software that runs in the background once you start it up. It gives you a boatload of new multi-touch options for your Magic Mouse, broken into three main categories: Clicks & Taps, Swipes, and Drag, Pinch, etc. Clicks & Taps are the ones that are likely to be most useful to you, as they’re the ones that are the easiest to use, and get use to. MagicPrefs has options that allow you to set actions for two-finger clicks, three-finger clicks, four-finger clicks, and one-finger middle axis clicks. There are also all of those options and then some for “taps” which is essentially touching the top of the Magic Mouse without clicking on it. Clicking on the checkbox to enable any of these also shows you a picture of exactly how the function works on the Magic Mouse.\n\nSimilar options also exist for swipes (wiping you fingers across the top of the Magic Mouse, and pinching (pushing two fingers together on the top of the device or pushing them apart). Interestingly, there are also options for the Apple logo near the bottom of the Magic Mouse. Two options allow you to drag your finger from the logo left or right to enable some action. Another allows you to tap logo to enable something.\n\n\n\nIt’s important to note that a number of actions in both the Swipes and Drag,Pinch, etc areas are labeled with a “*,” meaning they are “potentially hard to use.” There are also some of the Clicks & Taps functions that have this warning. In my experience with the program, it’s a pretty good idea to follow these recommendations and stay away from the harder to use ones. Even an obvious action like two-finger click is hard to use because most people will have two fingers resting on the mouse at all times, and when they do a left or right click, the multi-touch top senses the other finger’s presence and will think you’re doing a two-finger click.\n\nStill, after playing around with all the actions and finding the ones that I like and am comfortable using, MagicPrefs is extremely powerful. I now have easy access to things such as Expose, Dashboard, and Spaces right from the Mighty Mouse. It’s so natural, and makes so much sense, that I’m even more dumbfounded as to why Apple wouldn’t just build some of these gestures into the device’s software (and I suspect they will in the future via updates).\n\nAnd there’s actually more. A number of users have complained that the tracking speed on the Magic Mouse is too slow, even at the fastest setting. This is especially a problem for users with the new 27″ iMacs (which come with the Magic Mouse) and/or two monitors (that’s a lot of screen real estate to cover). With MagicPrefs, you also get the ability to improve the Mighty Mouse tracking speed by up to 200%. It’s brilliant. There is also a setting to increase or decrease the touch sensitivity of the device.\n\nMagicPrefs is perfect example of software making hardware better. And the developer promises that it will always be available for free (though he does accept PayPal donations on his site). He also promises that it uses less than 1% of system resources running in the background all the time. My usage of the software confirms this.\n\nRecent reports indicate that the Mighty Mouse is selling better than any mouse in Apple’s history. This is hardly surprising given that the other ones were awful, and this one is good. But MagicPrefs makes it much better. If you have a Magic Mouse, you need this.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCrunchBase Information\n\n\nMagic Mouse\n\nApple\n\nInformation provided by CrunchBase\n\n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchBoard because it’s time for you to find a new Job2.0\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-12-31T05:39:24Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"c1615620525692953ac88a2fac107ebc","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/69ab161d69c7/","kind":"page"},

You may also be well-aware of the shortcomings of these projects when it comes to future-proof package management. A new, open source project called Homebrew may be exactly what you've been looking for. If you're not a lover of all things CLI, send a link to Homebrew as a great (free) last-minute gift for the Terminal-lover in your life.\n\nMy favorite thing about Homebrew is its ability to function perfectly well with /usr/local as its base directory, installing packages in their own folders but linking them to /usr/local/command. This makes them manageable with existing command line tools. Homebrew can work out of any directory you like, if /usr/local isn't your cup of tea. Installed packages are optimized and stripped based on your architecture, and makes great use of libraries you already have installed or that came with the system, reducing duplication and speeding up download, compile and install times significantly. Add in the zero-config installation, an already-extensive list of \"formulas\" (packages), a greatly-reduced need to sudo anything, and a Ruby-based framework for creating your own formulae and you've got a killer package for extending your command line toolset.\n\nHomebrew is available for free on GitHub, and the main page has complete instructions for various types of installation (and reasons why you'd pick each one). Check it out, and have a merry CLI-mas!\nTUAWHomebrew, the perfect gift for command line lovers originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Fri, 25 Dec 2009 16:00:00 EST.

Over the next week we'll roll it out to more and more people. By the end of the week (around the 18th) we expect the upgrades to be rolled out to everyone.\n\n\nHere's a list of many of the major changes that come along with the 37signals ID username and password system upgrade. We'll be providing more detail on some of these in the coming week.\n\n\nLaunchpad (global)\n\n\nIntroduced Launchpad. Visible to anyone with multiple accounts tied to a 37signals ID or Open ID. The Launchpad shows up when someone signs in from 37signals.com or a product marketing site home page. Also linked from the in-app Launchbar.\nThe Launchpad displays all accounts linked to your 37signals ID. Each product gets a column, and each account gets a row. Drag and drop reorder columns and rows. Single click sign-in to any listed account.\nEdit Identity: Edit your 37signals ID name, email, avatar, username, and password. Switch between OpenID and 37signals ID username and password.\nSettings: Assign nicknames to each product account. Hide accounts you don't want displayed on the Launchpad or Launchbar.\n\n\nLaunchbar (global)\n\n\nRenamed Launchbar (was called Openbar for OpenID users).\nEveryone with more than one account attached to their 37signals ID sees the Launchbar at the top of the screen when they're in an app.\nHorizontal application order, and vertical account order, mirrors the layout on the Launchpad. User configurable via drag and drop reordering on the Launchpad.\n\n\nSign-in screens (global)\n\n\nResetting your password asks for your email address instead of your username.\nIntroduced temporary tokenized sign-in link if your OpenID provider is down. This allows you to still access your accounts if your OpenID provider is offline or unavailable for any reason.\nModernized the design of the in-app login screens with the rounded edges tablet design. Otherwise the same.\nCustomers who have custom sign-in screens on their own site can update their forms with this new form code.\n\n\nEdit user (global)\n\n\nEveryone's \"My Info\" screen shows 37signals ID card (with a user's real avatar) and a link to edit info in the light blue header. Note: Basecamp clients don't see \"37signals ID\" branding.\nAvatars are now global. Upload an avatar to your identity and it's updated across all your accounts that use the same 37signals ID.\n\n\nReset password (global)\n\n\nNew reset password screens. Enter email and get password recovery link sent via email. Actual passwords not sent though email.\nUsername and password can't be the same for security purposes.\nLegacy users (users who haven't gone through transition) continue get old password email.\n\n\nRSVP - accepting an invitation to create an account (global)\n\n\nNew invitation emails include a link to choose a username and password.\nNew create an identity screen (pick a username and password).\nPeople can choose to use their OpenID, create a new 37signals ID, or link to an existing 37signals ID they already set up.\nSpecial Basecamp client-view of the RSVP create a username and password screen doesn't show 37signals ID name/branding.\nNew success screen overlay replaces the old \"bookmark this page\" message above the sign-in screen. Newly designed success email as well.\nLive username and password validation.\n\n\n\nIn Basecamp\n\n\nAdded a link on the edit person screen that allows admins to fire off a \"here's how you recover your username/password\" to any user. Admins can use this if one of their users forgets their username or password.\nAdded a link to edit person to resend the original \"set up your account\" email.\nUsers pick their own username and password. Admins create users by entering their first name, last name, email address, and any contact information they want. The system then sends an invite to the email address with a link to the new user to create a username and password.\n\n\nIn Highrise\n\n\nAdded extra email fields to the dropbox email screen. This allows someone to tell Highrise other email addresses they may use so Highrise recognizes them when they forward an email to their dropbox.\nSeparated users from contacts. A user can be a user without also being a contact.\nExport data link moved from edit contact to edit user.\n\"Import from Basecamp\" feature now uses an API token instead of username/password fields. Changed to improve security.\n\n\nIn Campfire\n\n\nAdded support for OpenID.\n\n\nThanks again for your patience during this long-term project. This upgrade addresses a variety of top customer requests and lays the foundation for us to deliver even more good stuff in 2010. Stay tuned!\n\n","saved":"2009-12-14T03:14:45Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4f72145a608ba560865545a0461e8a23","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6c487e995bb8/","kind":"page"},

One reason is to keep track of what’s happening in the planet’s largest social network, including what application developers and users are doing there.\n\nAnother is that some of my friends — actual friends — are using the site. Facebook helps me stay in touch.\n\nBut the privacy fiasco of the past few days has left me feeling that I really can’t entirely trust Facebook, even with the limited amount of things I’ve said and done on the site since I got an account several years ago. Maybe I’m over-reacting — and I continue to admire the company’s accomplishments in many other ways — but that’s just the way it is.\n\nWhy don’t I feel safe and sound in their benevolent hands? Because although some of the changes they’ve made in their privacy settings are actually helpful, they are suggesting that users share much more of their data and other information, much more widely than ever. Facebook’s extremely smart leaders know perfectly well that the majority of users are likely to accept these suggestions, because most people say yes to whatever the default settings are in any application.\n\nI wasn’t very happy with my Facebook situation in any case. Early on, I said yes to just about everyone who asked me to “friend” them, including people barely knew and some I didn’t know at all.\n\nThe privacy changes — and my continuing uncertainty, given the number of pages you have to look at to modify your settings — made me realize I’d rather take fewer chances. So I’ve made a fairly drastic change.\n\nThis morning, I deleted my account. Then I started a new one.\n\nActually, I scheduled the old one for deletion several weeks from now, which is all Facebook allows. The company figures, perhaps correctly, that some people will have made this decision rashly and wants to give them a way to reconsider. And it’s clearly in Facebook’s interest to avoid as many cancellations as possible for business reasons.\n\nIt wasn’t easy to figure out how to delete the account, which no doubt is part of the company’s strategy, too. If you go to your Settings page, the only option in this realm is to “deactivate,” not delete.\n\nBut a little searching on the site turns up this Facebook Group called “How to permanently delete your facebok account” (more than 35,000 members) — which in turn reveals this link to a delete-account form.\n\nBefore I did the actual deletion, however, I went to my Account Settings and opened up the Username option. I’d previously set my username to “dangillmor” so my Facebook URL would be facebook.com/dangillmor, and wanted to be able to use that again. I changed the username to something else, and only then did I delete the account.\n\nThen I started a new account, using a different email address, and set the username to match the old one.\n\nNext up was a check of the default privacy settings for new users. They’re pretty un-private, in my view, sharing way too much with people you don’t know. I systematically went through the various screens — Facebook makes this chore both annoying and obscure, perhaps on purpose — to ratchet down the settings to something I can live with.\n\nLook, we all know what is Facebook’s best interest: exposing to search engines and advertisers the largest possible number of pages by among the largest number of people willing to create stuff and make it all public. Marketers drool at what they can do at Facebook if the company will only let them, and Facebook’s entirely rational goal, like almost every other Internet company’s, is to make profits in almost any way it can. What’s in the corporate interest, however, doesn’t necessarily match what’s in my interest, or yours.\n\nSo I’m still at facebook.com/dangillmor — though my real Web homebase is dangillmor.com — with just two Facebook friends at the moment. I’ll be adding more, but not in any hasty way.\n","saved":"2009-12-13T15:51:11Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a8095e30a959dc9ec9197dec526bc372","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/89a96ad149c2/","kind":"page"},

WordPress has enabled posting and reading the blogs the platform powers via the Twitter API. \n\nThis means any Twitter app that supports a custom API URL can be used to either post updates to your WordPress.com blog, or to read updates from blogs you’ve subscribed to. Tweetie 2, an iPhone and desktop Twitter client, will be one of the first third party apps to implement this. \n\nAs Twitter’s traffic continue to grow, WordPress sees its growth also rising. It makes sense to become more symbiotic with the Twitter ecosystem, considering the rapid growth of the use of third party applications. In fact, WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg told ReadWriteWeb recently that WordPress was trying to develop more ways for Twitter and its platform to overlap.\n\nThe integration of WordPress functionality with Tweetie is actually pretty cool. All you need to do is add your WordPress account to Tweetie’s settings and you will then be able to post a status update to your WordPress.com blog and also have it displayed in the blog reading view. You can also enable geotagging to show the location of your status update. \n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchGear drool over the sexiest new gadgets and hardware.\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-12-13T15:48:52Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a61c4e85f7f597e66977a999c7dae39c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9b557cdd18bf/","kind":"page"},

And we always enjoy adding our own two cents – the AP not knowing what YouTube is, the NYTimes guys reading TechCrunch every day, etc.\n\nSpeaking broadly, I like what Reuters, Rupert Murdoch and Eric Schmidt are saying: the industry is in crisis, and the daring innovators will prevail. Personally, I still think the best way forward for the best journalists, if not the brands they currently work for, is to leave those brands and do their own thing.\n\nBut as one of the innovators in the last go round, I think there’s a much bigger problem lurking on the horizon than a bunch of blogs and aggregators disrupting old media business models that needed disrupting anyway. The rise of fast food content is upon us, and it’s going to get ugly.\n\nOld media frets over blogs and aggregators that summarize content and link back to the original source. They can’t make a business in that world, they say, so they run the other way and try to find a way to protect and charge for content.\n\nThese are the cavemen, or whoever, who were afraid of fire when it was discovered because it burned, or was too technologically advanced to really understand. The smart guys used it to cook their meat and keep them warm, and multiplied.\n\nFor our part, we throw a party when someone “steals” our content and links back to us.  High fives all around the office. At least there’s some small nod in our direction. And the aggregators like TechMeme can figure out who broke the news. Page views are lost, but reputation is gained.\n\nBut for every link there are dozens of sites that outright steal our content with no attribution. Not just spam blogs, even the NYTimes does it. This isn’t a copyright issue – the stories are rewritten by actual people. But it’s far cheaper to simply take the news and rewrite it – if you can get away with it – than to hire people who do actual journalism. Over time, it becomes a competitive tax that is difficult to bear.\n\nBut even then, companies like ours can find a way to compete. \n\nSo what really scares me? It’s the rise of fast food content that will surely, over time, destroy the mom and pop operations that hand craft their content today. It’s the rise of cheap, disposable content on a mass scale, force fed to us by the portals and search engines.\n\nOn one end you have AOL and their Toyota Strategy of building thousand of niche content sites via the work of cast-offs from old media. That leads to a whole lot of really, really crappy content being highlighted right on the massive AOL home page. This article, for example, is just horrendous. One of AOL’s own blogs trashes the company’s spinoff, rambles for miles without any real point, and adds a huge factual error to top things off (”the company is losing money”). Hiring a bunch of people who couldn’t keep their old media jobs and don’t have the stomach to go out on their own and then slapping little or no editorial oversight onto these masses of sub-par journalists leads to an inevitable conclusion – cheap, crappy content. And that crappy content is given a massive audience on the AOL portal.\n\nOn the other end you have Demand Media and companies like it. See Wired’s “Demand Media and the Fast, Disposable, and Profitable as Hell Media Model.” The company is paying bottom dollar to create “4,000 videos and articles” a day, based only on what’s hot on search engines. They push SEO juice to this content, which is made as quickly and cheaply as possible, and pray for traffic. It works like a charm, apparently.\n\nThese models create a race to the bottom situation, where anyone who spend time and effort on their content is pushed out of business. \n\nWe’re not there yet, but I see it coming. And just as old media is complaining about us, look for us to start complaining about the new jerks.\n\nMy advice to readers is just this – get ready for it, because you’ll be reading McDonalds five times a day in the near future. My advice to content creators is more subtle. Figure out an even more disruptive way to win, or die. Or just give up on making money doing what you do. If you write for passion, not dollars, you’ll still have fun. Even if everything you write is immediately ripped off without attribution, and the search engines don’t give you the attention they used to. You may have to continue your hobby in the evening and get a real job, of course. But everyone has to face reality sometimes.\n\nForget fair and unfair, right and wrong. This is simply happening. The disruptors are getting disrupted, and everyone has to adapt to it or face the consequences. Hand crafted content is dead. Long live fast food  content, it’s here to stay.\n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchBase the free database of technology companies, people, and investors\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-12-13T15:45:01Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"d3cf9818556d6d243e370750046c8f67","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8ab2d0ad07d5/","kind":"page"},

Web Sockets are \"TCP for the Web,\" a next-generation bidirectional communication technology for web applications being standardized in part of Web Applications 1.0. We've implemented this feature as described in our design docs for WebKit and Chromium.The Web Sockets API enables web applications to handle bidirectional communications with server-side process in a straightforward way. Developers have been using XMLHttpRequest (\"XHR\") for such purposes, but XHR makes developing web applications that communicate back and forth to the server unnecessarily complex. XHR is basically asynchronous HTTP, and because you need to use a tricky technique like long-hanging GET for sending data from the server to the browser, simple tasks rapidly become complex. As opposed to XMLHttpRequest, Web Sockets provide a real bidirectional communication channel in your browser. Once you get a Web Socket connection, you can send data from browser to server by calling a send() method, and receive data from server to browser by an onmessage event handler. A simple example is included below.if (\"WebSocket\" in window) {  var ws = new WebSocket(\"ws://example.com/service\");  ws.onopen = function() {    // Web Socket is connected. You can send data by send() method.    ws.send(\"message to send\"); ....  };  ws.onmessage = function (evt) { var received_msg = evt.data; ... };  ws.onclose = function() { // websocket is closed. };} else {  // the browser doesn't support WebSocket.}In addition to the new Web Sockets API, there is also a new protocol (the \"web socket protocol\") that the browser uses to communicate with servers. The protocol is not raw TCP because it needs to provide the browser's \"same-origin\" security model. It's also not HTTP because web socket traffic differers from HTTP's request-response model. Web socket communications using the new web socket protocol should use less bandwidth because, unlike a series of XHRs and hanging GETs, no headers are exchanged once the single connection has been established. To use this new API and protocol and take advantage of the simpler programming model and more efficient network traffic, you do need a new server implementation to communicate with — but don't worry. We also developed pywebsocket, which can be used as an Apache extension module, or can even be run as standalone server.  You can use Google Chrome and pywebsocket to start implementing Web Socket-enabled web applications now. We're more than happy to hear your feedback not only on our implementation, but also on API and/or protocol design. The protocol has not been completely locked down and is still in discussion in IETF, so we are especially grateful for any early adopter feedback.Posted by Yuzo Fujishima (藤島 勇造), Fumitoshi Ukai (鵜飼 文敏), and Takeshi Yoshino (吉野 剛史), Software Engineers","saved":"2009-12-11T03:37:08Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"88c255a944e4a4015a38b65a6ceeb21c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a677e40caa23/","kind":"page"},

Here's how it works: Every day at 9AM EST a new photo assignment is tweeted to the @dailyshoot Twitter account.  Today's assignment, for example, is to make a photo with a blue theme.  Use your big camera or the one you have in your pocket, it's up to you.\nThen to share your photo, upload it to your photo sharing site of choice and post a tweet that mentions @dailyshoot with the assignment's hashtag and a link to the photo (example).  Easy!  Now you know when to practice and what to shoot.  Your photo doesn't have to be a masterpiece and there are no prizes.  The point is simply to help you pick up your camera and make a photograph every day.  Practice.\n\n\n\n\nWhen you're practicing, it's often inspiring to see what other people are doing if only so you don't feel alone.  So this weekend we launched a revision to the companion web site to help out with that.  No account necessaryit's all driven from Twitter replies! You can catch up on all the assignments and view all the photos submitted for a particular assignment.  You can also check out all the photographers who have participated.  If you'd rather get your daily assignments via RSS, there's an RSS feed for that.  And if you have suggestions for future assignments, please let us know! (Thanks to Patrick Lenz and Urban Hafner for some of the code that powers the new site!)\n\n\n\n\nI've been having a blast with this, both with taking pictures and building out the site. I find I'm\nseeing the world differently as I look for a photo that meets the assignment each day. I notice things\nthat I otherwise would have missed. I'm also feeling more comfortable with my camera than ever before.\nSome of the assignments really push me to try new techniques, and even the easy assignments can be\nmade more challenging. Plus, I'm just loving being able to see what everyone else is doing every day!\nIt's inspiring to see how other photogs interpret an assignment, and I'm learning a lot from them.\n\n\n\n\nYou can start today! It's easy: Keep your eye open for something blue, and make a photo. Upload it\nsomewhere, reply with a link, and you've joined The Daily Shoot community. Tomorrow we'll have\nanother fun assignment to help you practice. We'd love to have you join us!","saved":"2009-12-09T03:45:02Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"deaed216cba460dadf74c8dfbc7c8a4d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5d760108f5cf/","kind":"page"},

Not only does it make web sites faster, switching over to this async pattern improves uptime and increases the amount of analytics data gathered. I’ll touch on each of these three benefits, and wrap-up with an overview of the new code snippet.\n\nFaster\nThe pain of loading JavaScript files is that they block the page from rendering and block other resources from downloading. There are workarounds to these problems. Chapter 4 of Even Faster Web Sites describes six techniques for Loading Scripts Without Blocking. One of those, the Script DOM Element approach, is the technique used in the new Google Analytics async pattern. Google Analytics’ ga.js file is a perfect example of a script that should be loaded asynchronously - it doesn’t add any content to the page, so we want to load it without blocking the images and stylesheets that give users what they really came to see.\n\nImproved Uptime\nWhat happens if a script takes a long time to load, or fails to load? Because scripts block rendering, users are left staring at an empty page. Google Analytics has an amazing infrastructure behind it, but any resource, especially from third parties, should be added cautiously. It’s great that the GA team is evangelizing a pattern that separates the web site and ga.js.\n\nMore Data\nOne workaround to the blocking problem is to move scripts to the bottom of the page. In fact, this is exactly what’s suggested in the old ga.js snippet. But this means users who leave a page quickly won’t generate any analytics data (they leave before the script at the bottom finishes loading). This is too good to believe - not only do you get a faster, more resilient page, but you actually get better insights into your traffic.\n\nThe Async Snippet\nJust to be clear, ga.js will continue to work even if web site owners don’t make any changes. But, if you want a faster site, greater uptime, and more data, here’s what the new async snippet looks like:\n\nvar _gaq = _gaq || [];\n_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']);\n_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);\n\n(function() {\nvar ga = document.createElement('script');\nga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?\n    'https://ssl' : 'http://www') +\n    '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';\nga.setAttribute('async', 'true');\ndocument.documentElement.firstChild.appendChild(ga);\n})();\nIt’s extremely cool to see this pattern being evangelized for such a major piece of the Internet. A few items of note:\n\n\nObviously, you have to replace “UA-XXXXX-X” with your ID.\nSince ga.js is being loaded asynchronously, we need a way for web site owners to couple their desired GA functions with the code when it finishes loading. This is done by pushing commands onto the Google Analytics queue object, _gaq.\nOnce all your callback commands are queued up, the ga.js script gets loaded. This is wrapped inside an anonymous function to avoid any namespace conflicts.\nInside the anonymous is where we see the Script DOM Element approach being used - with two nice improvements. A ’script’ element is created and its SRC is set to the appropriate ga.js URL. Looking ahead to support of asynchronous scripts in HTML5, the ‘async’ attribute is set to ‘true’. Very nice! The main benefit of this is it tells the browser that subsequent scripts can be executed immediately - they don’t have to wait for ga.js. The last line is adds the script element to the DOM. This is what triggers the actual download of ga.js. In most of my code I do document.getElementsByTagName(”head”)[0].appendChild, but that fails if the document doesn’t have a head element. This is a more robust implementation.\n\nIt’s always hard to find the right spot on the complexibility curve. This async snippet hits it just right. It’s slightly more complex than the old pattern, but not by much. Besides the benefits highlighted here, this new pattern is able to support more advanced usage patterns, including pushing an array of commands and pushing functions.\n\nThe theme driving much of my work this year is fast by default. I want high performance to be baked into the major components of the Web, so things are just fast. Seeing Google Analytics adopt this high performance async pattern is a huge win. But the proof is in the pudding. If you switch over to the new async pattern, measure how it affects your page load times and the amount of data gathered, and add a comment below. My prediction: 200ms faster and 10% more data.

But increasing skepticism in the developer community over Android and its marketplace masks this good news, a survey reveals.\n\n\nSkyhook Wireless, a Boston-based company that offers location-based information to businesses, recently polled 30 app developers and asked them about their experience with, and plans for, the Android platform. A survey of just 30 developers doesn’t have enough data for me to take this as gospel. That said, the results should be worrisome to Google and its hardware partners, because there seems to be a general dissatisfaction with the OS and, more importantly, its commercial potential. The results of the survey are also in sharp contrast to findings from other sources such as AdMob and Flurry, which have seen a sharp increase in the number of projects started by Android developers. Over 10,000 apps are available for Android devices.\n\n\nThe biggest reason for disappointment is the low download numbers — about 90 percent of respondents say their apps have been downloaded fewer than 10,000 times.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore on Mobile Apps\n\n\n\nNetbooks: The Disruptive Dual-OS Future\nTech Insider\n\n\nAndroid This Week: Ustream Appears; Google Maps Nav Hits 1.6\nTech Insider\n\n\nWhy PC Makers Will Make Android King\nTech Insider\n\n\nGoogle Maps Navigation Comes to Older Android Phones\nTech Insider\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNearly 57 percent of the total polled said they were not satisfied with their profits on Android, while 39 percent said somewhat satisfied. Only 4 percent said they were satisfied with the profits they have made off their Android apps. On occasion we have heard from individual developers who have complained about the Android platform and lack of profits.\n\n\nTo give this some context, there weren’t too many Android handsets available in the market for the first three quarters of 2009. For the longest time there were only two T-Mobile Android phones (made by HTC) being sold. It is only this fall that the number of Android models has gone up, thanks to the introduction of Motorola’s Cliq (which was launched at our Mobilize 09 conference) and Droid. HTC, Samsung and Huawei also have introduced their new Android phones.\n\n\nThe low download volumes and lack of profits speak to the fact that app discovery isn’t easy in the Android Marketplace. Having used Android Marketplace for many months now, I have to say the experience is sub-par. Eighty-two percent of those surveyed felt that the Android Marketplace’s design makes it difficult for apps to be noticed. As I pointed out earlier, special marketplaces being set up by phone companies is only going to muddy the waters.\n\n\nAnother area of concern for developers: fragmentation that comes with multiple devices from various phone makers running on different carriers. Nearly 46 percent of developers surveyed were certain that different versions of Android would make development difficult.\n\n\nI still think these are teething issues, and with time, Google and its partners will be able to fix them. The momentum behind Android is too strong. The question is how long it will take. More importantly, will the developers wait around that long, especially since there are other platforms that make money for them? Android’s backers can’t afford to lose developer attention.\n\n\nWho & What’s to Blame for Developer Woes\n\n\n\n     Developers are concerned that Google Checkout contributes to their low download volumes.\n    43 percent feel that they would sell more apps if Android used a carrier billing or another simpler billing system.\n    82 percent of those surveyed feel that the design of the Android Marketplace makes it difficult for apps to be noticed.\n    68 percent of those surveyed are somewhat or not likely to put further work into their apps, compared with when they first released their app.\n\nTwitter This Article   Facebook This Article   Email This Article\nGreentech Guide to Cop15Earth2Tech – by Katie Fehrenbacher\";\nEarth2Tech Map: Where the Next Green Cars Will Be BornEarth2Tech – by Josie Garthwaite\";\ne-Book Echo: Sony Reader Available; Kindles Get Better; Nooks Expensive to ProducejkOnTheRun – by James Kendrick\";\nWeekend Vid Picks: Lego Matrix Trinity Help, an Epic Feat of NerdityNewTeeVee – by Liz Shannon Miller\";\nPosted by Om Malik on GigaOM  |  Permalink  |  12 Comments Tags: Android, Apple, google, mobile apps, Skyhook Wireless\n       \n    \n","saved":"2009-11-30T16:25:17Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4e813eac0c998141532efa72ab87e99b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/eeb943d55597/","kind":"page"},

HardMac (via MacRumors) profiles the next generation Intel \"Gulftown\" Core i9 processors which they expect to see in high end Mac Pros in early 2010. The processor's benchmarks were \"released early\" by PCLAB.pl.  The skinny is this: The smaller 32nm process die and 50% more transistors allows the processors to operate 50% faster while using 10-50% less power:  First figures indicate that this CPU is very promising. At equivalent  clock speed, it is 50% faster than the corresponding quad core Xeon for  parallel tasks. Despite having 50% more transistors, the CPU strongly  benefits from 32-nm engraving as it drains 50% less power in idle mode  and 10% less in full loading mode.  How do you arrive at 24 processors from six cores? With a dual-chip configuration (12 real cores) and threading available on these chips which enables each core (24) to function as two, you get two dozen logical cores to work with.  Current Mac Pros top out at dual 2.93Ghz quad core Intel Xeon processors.

I offer a solution, in the form of the following regex pattern:\n\n\n\\b(([\\w-]+://?|www[.])[^\\s()<>]+(?:\\([\\w\\d]+\\)|([^[:punct:]\\s]|/)))\n\n\nThis pattern should work in most modern regex implementations. I can vouch for it working in Perl, Ruby, and with the PCRE regex library (which in turn means it works in PHP and BBEdit, both of which use PCRE).\n\n\nThis pattern attempts to be practical. It makes no attempt to parse URLs according to any official specification. It isn’t limited to predefined URL protocols. It should be clever about things like parentheses and trailing punctuation. For example, it will correctly match the URL in the following example lines:\n\n\nhttp://foo.com/blah_blah\nhttp://foo.com/blah_blah/\n(Something like http://foo.com/blah_blah)\nhttp://foo.com/blah_blah_(wikipedia)\n(Something like http://foo.com/blah_blah_(wikipedia))\nhttp://foo.com/blah_blah.\nhttp://foo.com/blah_blah/.\n<http://foo.com/blah_blah>\n<http://foo.com/blah_blah/>\nhttp://foo.com/blah_blah,\nhttp://www.example.com/wpstyle/?p=364.\nhttp://✪df.ws/e7l\nrdar://1234\nrdar:/1234\nx-yojimbo-item://6303E4C1-xxxx-45A6-AB9D-3A908F59AE0E\nmessage://%3c330e7f8409726r6a4ba78dkf1fd71420c1bf6ff@mail.gmail.com%3e\nhttp://➡.ws/䨹\nwww.➡.ws/䨹\n<tag>http://example.com</tag>\nJust a www.example.com link.\n\n\nIt attempts to be particularly clever with regard to parentheses, which, in my experience, only ever seem to occur in the wild in Wikipedia URLs, and which many URL matching patterns seem to botch. The pattern looks for balanced parentheses within the URL, which is how it correctly omits the trailing parenthesis in the following line:\n\n\n(Something like http://foo.com/blah_blah)\n\n\nThe pattern is also liberal about Unicode glyphs within the URL, which allows it, among other things, to match IDN domain names, such as the ✪df.ws domain I registered for the custom URL shortener I use for the Daring Fireball Twitter feed.\n\n\nSuggestions and improvements are welcome, including just sending me example input where the current pattern fails.\n","saved":"2009-11-28T05:11:13Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"1d153c093fe66736d58b603129dcdd99","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9c3505d50557/","kind":"page"},

The OFS assets were formerly part of MarketWatch Licensing Services, before DJ bought MarketWatch in 2005. Most of the parts sold came in from MarketWatch’s 2003 $103 million acquisition of Pinnacor.\n\n\nNow, the price of the sale, courtesy of an SEC filing from IDC, and it is a bit of a shocker: $13.5 million in cash. And the company also says the unit will generate revenues of about $14 million for 2009, and is expected to be profitable. So why such a low price on sale? DJ really really wanted the unit off its hands, it seems. We have a query in to DJ for clarification. Update: DJ would not comment on the sale price.\n\n\n\n\nTwo months ago, content management company YellowBrix acquired Dow Jones’ news syndicator. DJ bought Screaming Media six years ago for $103 million. Would be interested to see the price on that now.\n\n\nMeanwhile, I floated a theory on Twitter yesterday: since DJ is divesting off non core assets with such gumption, maybe it is time they offload Marketwatch as well, since it increasingly is duplicative of what WSJ does (despite whatever Marketwatch’s spin on its positioning). And who would be a perfect buyer? CBS (NYSE: CBS), which once held a stake in Marketwatch, and hasn’t been able to burn the charts with its new-ish site Moneywatch site. Of course now that DJ has sold off some parts of the Marketwatch enterprise solutions for such a low price, expect the sale price of Marketwatch to be in double digit millions, at best, if it happens, nowhere near $520 million it got in 2004.\n\n\nRelated\n\n\nDow Jones' Garage Sale Continues, As Online Financial-Solutions Unit Goes To Interactive Data\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-11-26T05:35:56Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"d66bbfd739963168dbb2e28c4e741410","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9310ef1c3abf/","kind":"page"},

This blog post explains how he did it, shows some benchmarks, and provides a demo and a downloadable library so you can play along at home.\n\n\nIt was surprising that it was that easy to get the first js-encoded jpeg displayed in the browser. Of course I didn't want to stop there. I wanted to optimize things as much as I could to make the encoder fast. This took me several days. I found optimized encoder versions for flash and haxe floating around the net (Faster JPEG Encoding with Flash Player 10) and tried the optimizations used there in my javascript version. As you can seen in the benchmarks below I was quite successful.\n\nAnother idea was to use the new web workers to do the heavy lifting in an separate thread, not blocking the gui. This is something flash can't do. So I created a version using a web worker for the encoding.\n\n\nThe API gives you a JPEGEncoder or an alternative JPEGEncoderThreaded. Usage is straightforward:\n\nPLAIN TEXT\nJAVASCRIPT:\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nvar myEncoder = new JPEGEncoder([quality])\n\n\nvar JPEGImage = myEncoder.encode(CanvasPixelArray,[quality])\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nI think the results show that JavaScript is quite fast (at least in Safari and Chrome). A little over 4 seconds for the non-threaded version is a very good [sic] result, when compared to the 3,3 seconds the optimized flash jpeg encoder takes. Please note, that JavaScript has no static types, no byte array, no Vector-class and is not pre-compiled. Taking these facts into account Nitro and V8 are faster than the ActionScript 3 VM.\n\nComparing the different browsers Nitro and V8 are a magnitude faster than TraceMonkey. Firefox 3.6b2 shows some improvements, but it's still a long way. Probably the Mozilla guys should consider adopting Nitro or V8?\n\n\nHe used the  AS3 (ActionScript) JPEG encoder as a starting point. It's worth noting there's also a PNGEncoder there too; that's a port waiting to happen.\n\n\n  \n","saved":"2009-11-26T05:33:34Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3896f45901f795a717c3a5adadbce83a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/78642628e307/","kind":"page"},

He said that because many within Google consider fastness to be vital to the web, the company is considering making web site speed a factor in calculating page rankings. Those comments have confused and scared many folks as to how speed might impact their businesses. \n\nTo be sure, Cutts’ comments don’t offer any details, and it is not even clear if  Google will go down that route. (Matt, can you offer clarifications please?) Still, some are worried that Google is going to turn PageRank into a country club for the rich, and penalize smaller sites because they don’t have high-end hosting facilities. Of course, there is the uneven distribution of backbone connectivity. Many parts of the world are not as well-connected as, say, Asia or the United States, so does that mean this new approach to PageRank could penalize sites hosted in places that don’t have abundant connectivity?\n\nKen Godskind, chief strategy officer of AlertSite, a web site traffic monitoring service, thinks such a move could have a serious impact on many web sites. “The potential changes at Google mean there will be a REAL business impact for poor web site performance, and conversely, in Google’s words, a bonus for good performance,” he writes on the company blog. “Online organizations will need to look closely at themselves and the other parties that participate in the Web application delivery supply chain to understand and manage this new development in 2010.”\n\nOn a personal level, I believe that a faster web is good for everyone.  At some point in our web journeys we have all cursed slow-loading sites, a problem that is only going to increase as the web becomes more intricately intertwined, in the process becoming a patchwork quilt of diverse  services. Performance hiccups at one service can send out ripples of disruption.\n\nIncreasingly popular widgets can slow down the performance of even the best web offerings, thus lowering the overall experience. The increased interdependency of various services can often cause disruption. Hours after the news of Michael Jackson’s death spread on the web, many news sites became inaccessible and suffered slowdowns. Those sites didn’t crash but instead were hampered because they were pulling data from ad servers that weren’t prepared for the onslaught of traffic. On our own sites, we have seen things break down when one of our partners suffers an outage or has performance problems.\n\nAs a consumer of information, I would say Google giving preference to faster sites doesn’t seem like a bad idea. As a publisher, the high cost of speeding up my web offerings might hurt in the short term, but ultimately it means a better experience for my readers — and there’s nothing wrong with that.\n\nPhoto of Matt Cutts at Pubcon 2009 courtesy of PlanetC1 via Flickr\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-11-23T20:58:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"44962ddf6d919090e36e343196c604cf","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ffff9d7038eb/","kind":"page"},

The significance of this is made clear by comparing it with last week's release of 500 million time-stamped Twitter messages for analysis.\n\n\n\"You take this data, mash it up with any other very large corpus of data with timestamps,\" Flip Kroner of data marketplace Infochimps told us, \"and you've got a web app.\"  Today's announcement of the availability of location data means the same thing: you take this data, mash it up with any other data with location information and you've got an app.  From Digg or StumbleUpon for your favorite coffee shop to political and disease tracking - there's a whole lot that's possible.\n\nSponsor\n\n\nExposing location data is an opt-in feature for users, but 3rd party app developers are being told to \"encourage your users to enable it by sending them to their settings page.\"  \n\n\nUsers will have to be both prompted and incentivized.  Fortunately, a location-aware Twitter experience is something that will enable developers to deliver value to individual users immediately and in isolation  - it doesn't have to be one of those situations where \"this will be cool once other people I know are using it.\"\n\n\nWith the announcement today of Twitter search results being added to Yahoo News searches, Twitter data is now being used by all three of the major search engines.  (Google's implementation is still forthcoming, but the deal is done.)  It might be one of the big players, but it's more likely to be small innovators that make creative use of the new location data.\n\nTwitter client Seesmic has already integrated geo data.\n\n\nThese are possible Twitter use cases, but the standardized Activity Streams spec that Facebook, MySpace, Netflix and others now support also includes a geolocation field - so if the walls around Twitter ever fall to interoperability then we could be seeing innovations like these across all kinds of networks.\n\n\nHere are some of the kinds of things we expect, or would like, to see.\n\n\n\"Party Over Here\" Bot: Automated Geo-Replies\n\nWant to know when you're near a certain type of public event, great wine shops or deals at Macy's?  How about when friends, close friends or friends-of-friends are near?  It's not hard to imagine a bot that you subscribe to on Twitter, that then auto-subscribes to you, notices when you \"check in\" at a new location and automatically sends you a reply when whatever or whomever you're interested in is near that location.\nHow about a bot you can Tweet \"@whereami\" to and that @'s you back with a link or stats about the location you're in: nearby restaurant reviews, notable landmarks, crime rates, apartments for rent.  Talk about augmented reality!\nHow about a bot you can Tweet \"@whereami\" to and that @'s you back with a link or stats about the location you're in: nearby restaurant reviews, notable landmarks, crime rates, apartments for rent.  Talk about augmented reality!\n\n\nThere are all kinds of bots built on Twitter already, but one that can mash-up your physical location with its data store is going to be a lot more useful than a bot that tells you when a sensor noticed your plants need to be watered.\n\n\nThese are the kinds of services that will incentivize Twitter users to expose their location data.  Assuming a substantial number of people make that choice, here are a few other examples that come to mind.\n\n\nArticles Being Shared From This Coffee Shop Today Include...\n\nImagine being the location-equivalent of Digg-submitter of your favorite coffee shop's hottest online articles each day.Most Twitter search engines index not just the 140 characters in a message, but the text in links being shared as well.   If you think people like being the Foursquare mayor of a popular coffee shop, imagine being the location-equivalent of Digg-submitter of your favorite coffee shop's hottest online articles each day.\n\nThink people just stare at their computers in public these days?  A service like this could shake that up.  How about a StumbleUpon implementation that lets you stumble and read articles from people who've Tweeted from the same place you're in.  Imagine walking down the street and considering two competing coffee shops; what's been on the reading list of each today?\n\n\nNews at 11: Local Interest Survey Tool\n\nThink local TV news and newspaper companies would be interested in a stream of hot topics in their local area?  They'd be foolish not to; what a great way to discover breaking local news to report on.\n\n\nDoes your local newspaper print a selection of letters mailed-in each week, but list the number of total letters received on the hottest topics?  Imagine capturing that local chatter from a much larger sampling of people.  Local tweets plus an entity extraction algorithm. \n\n\nCop Watcher\n\nImagine taking a map of tweets discussing criminal activity, or police misconduct, in a city and comparing it with a map of the same from local police agencies.  Some places that warrant more official attention could be exposed.\n\n\nInventory Forecast\n\nIf people in a certain city are twittering like fiends about a new product hitting the market, store orders, marketing and other parts of the supply chain could benefit from an earlier warning about it.\n\n\nPolitics & Marketing\n\nPeople in Oregon are sharing a Huffington Post article about today's health care reform announcement a lot?  In Seattle, Washington perhaps not so much?  Political organizers of a certain persuasion could find that information actionable.\n\n\nWant to know what news outlets are on the ascent with people of a certain political persuasion?  Cross reference your shared links from users in a location and a map of political contributions for the last election.\nWant to know what news outlets are on the ascent with people of a certain political persuasion?  Cross reference your shared links from users in a location and a map of political contributions for the last election.\n\nHow about unearthing Twitter users posting about environmental issues who also live in areas with environmental issues that an organization is working on.\n\n\nWant to measure local effectiveness of marketing campaigns?  Imagine Radian6 or ScoutLabs using the location API.  That's only a mater of time.\n\n\nFlu Trends+\n\nThink Google's use of search data to map out global disease trends is cool?  Why stop there?  How about  pro-active messages (via Twitter) when there's an increase in messages about being sick in your area?\n\n\nOf course all of this will work better if more people are using Twitter and if people expose their location data, but that may very well happen.  Prompting and individual incentives could be big drivers. The degree to which Twitter data is open for analysis by outside parties is a huge asset.\n\n\nWhat would you like to see cross-referenced with Twitter location data?\n\n\nThanks for visiting ReadWriteWeb - we want to thank P2P-powered real-time search engine Faroo for making it possible for us to bring this site to you.

But in October, the number of people who visited Twitter.com from the U.S. actually declined for the first time by 8 percent month-over-month.  Estimates released today by comScore put Twitter’s domestic unique visitors at 19.2 million, down from 20.9 million in September.\n\nOn an annual basis, Twitter is still going gangbusters with 1,271 percent growth from 1.4 million visitors in October, 2008.  And on a global basis, it still seems to be chugging away with 58.4 million visitors in September.  But a hypergrowth company like Twitter cannot afford to slow down in its home market.  \n\nCEO Evan Williams recently acknowledged the slowdown in the U.S., and hopes that a slew of new features will help revive growth to the site.  Many of these features are already rolling out, including the new Retweet button, Lists, and Geolocation features.\n\nTwitter is obviously committed to making its service better on its own Website (these numbers do not measure usage on mobile or desktop clients, which is easily half of all Twitter usage).  But while it fiddles, rival Facebook keeps moving further and further ahead.  \n\nWill the new features be enough to bring back growth in the U.S.?  If they don’t, Twitter’s troubles will really begin.\n\nCrunch Network:  MobileCrunch Mobile Gadgets and Applications, Delivered Daily.\n\n\n\n\n","saved":"2009-11-16T06:25:18Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"de15588bef3e43440eed0152a6204f37","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/337c878c88b6/","kind":"page"},

Here is what that looks like in a chart:\n\n\n\nSee what I’m saying?\n\nSo, what accounts for this difference? Here are my theories.\n\n1. Pagination. It takes four pages to read something on the Strib that would take one page to read on either of the other two websites. \n\n2. Comment cesspool. The site generates a ton of comments because it seems to let almost anything through, which of course generates additional page views and content for others to react to, no matter how bigoted.\n\n3. Paginated comments. They then split up the comments into groups of 10, which generates even more page views.\n\n4. Auto-Refresh. If you spend more than 10 minutes on the Strib, the site decides that you must want your page refreshed. Sure, you may be out for coffee, sleeping, or stuck under something heavy, but that doesn’t stop the StarTribune from “earning” additional page views because you happened to leave their website open in your browser. \n\n5. Classifieds. The Strib seems to keep people on their primary domain for at least another page view before dropping people onto subdomains for things like new and used car searches.\n\n6. Depth of coverage. Yes, they also generate more page views based on content. MPR and MinnPost don’t devote nearly as many resources to covering the pro and college sports franchises, nationally syndicated television shows, video game reviews, or what people are buying from Target this season. While I wouldn’t consider any of this to be news, it is certainly something that can be bundled alongside journalism in order to keep people on your site for more page views per visitor on average.\n\nIf MPR and MinnPost want to be more like the StarTribune, they should take on a ton of debt, start treating their online readers like crap, and publish more non-newsworthy content.\n\n\n\n   \n","saved":"2009-11-16T06:01:51Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"43cd8c163a520475cac49c096a5839ea","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/68ff060e2eeb/","kind":"page"},

Tweetie is my weapon of choice for the Mac desktop, and it has served faithfully since its release. Doesn’t hurt that it’s free, either (though ad-supported). But I’m always glad to try out new contenders to the throne, and that’s why Twitt caught my eye today.\n\nTwitt is a new, lightweight Mac Twitter client that has some interesting features I haven’t yet found elsewhere. Can it compete with perennial favorites Tweetie and TweetDeck, though? Using both those programs regularly has set my expectations fairly high, but Twitt definitely counts some surprising twists among its repertoire. \n\nGood Things\n\nTwitt displays your Twitter stream like an iChat conversation. It’s an interface that’s familiar to Mac users, and it fully supports themes, including user-generated ones. It comes with two, the default iChat style and an iPhone theme that is much darker. I still prefer the look of Tweetie overall, but having options is always nice, and some users will value it over other UI considerations.\n\n\n\nI also like that there’s a compose window at the bottom, which you can optionally hide. It’s preferable to me to always have a field for posting in view, since I find it actually makes me much more likely to actually tweet on a regular basis, something which I find myself doing less and less of since I started using Tweetie as my main Twitter workhorse.\n\nFilters is another thing Twitt has going for it. The app allows you, via a preference panel, to specify terms that Twitt will then look for in your stream. It’ll then automatically hide tweets containing said keywords, effectively enabling you to filter out annoying trending topics or ongoing conversations you aren’t particularly interested in.\n\n\n\nNot So Good Things\n\nI’m hesitant to say “bad things,” because none of Twitt’s features are set in stone, and these can still be changed in later editions, but as it stands, there are a few failings the program has mean I won’t be changing horses anytime soon.\n\nFirst of all, Twitt only supports one account at a time. That’s good news for people who want to keep things simple, I suppose, but if you have more than one Twitter account to monitor or manage, you’re out of luck with Twitt. For my line of work, that’s a dealbreaker. You can log out of your current account and sign in with another easy enough, but why bother when other clients offer much simpler account switching mechanisms.\n\nSecond, there isn’t any mechanism for in-line viewing of conversations that I can find. Nor is there a means to view profiles, follow, or do any of the other fun stuff that I’ve come to expect after using Tweetie and TweetDeck for so long. Without these features, I’m afraid Twitt will remain little more than a quaint alternative for Twitter amateurs, instead of a fully-fledged professional tool.\n\nConclusion\n\nIf you’re using Twitter as more of an IM client and less of an RSS replacement and/or brand management outlet, then there’s definitely something to be said for Twitt’s simplistic approach. Things work as you’d expect them to in an IM client. Clicking on someone’s portrait enters their username into the compose field, so that you’re automatically having a conversation with that person. Ongoing conversations between others are highlighted (orange, by default) and stand out from the rest of your stream.\n\nFor my purposes, and I suspect for a lot of other web workers, Twitt just isn’t powerful enough to play with the big boys. But it does have the advantage of being free and easy to learn if you’re just starting out. Once you get your sea legs, however, I highly recommend stepping up to Tweetie or TweetDeck.\n\nWhich desktop Twitter client are you using, and why?\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-11-16T05:11:40Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"1880289a8b88bdc8341c2c33b07d0d82","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/55363c117ace/","kind":"page"},

Now Carmack has returned to the game that started it all: Doom. He has taken the original game and ported the code to run on the iPhone, his favorite new game platform. Although he is working on big console and PC game projects for id (and its new owner ZeniMax) such as Doom 4 and Rage, Carmack stole time to create the iPhone game, Doom Classic. With 36 levels, this shooting game is a repeat of the original title where you play a space marine who has to wade knee deep in the dead and hold off an onslaught demons after a mining colony on Mars accidentally opens a portal into Hell. Doom Classic is now available on the iPhone. Here’s our interview with Carmack about how he made it.\n\nVB: Can you tell us how you got Doom Classic onto the iPhone?\n\nJC: This is one of those cases where I’m loving the iPhone work with the classic games because it gives me some real solid ammunition for the first time on the tangible benefits of that we as a company get from having released the source code for our games all those years ago. I have always had to make the argument that we get good will and there are intangible benefits.  With both Wolfenstein 3D Classic and Doom Classic for the iPhone, instead of going to find the original source code, resurrect it, and make it compile on an auto compiler, I was able to start with this well maintained cross-platform source code base that people have been improving for years. It did not take me long at all to take the work I had done with Wolfenstein 3D Classic and the open-source Doom code that I started with and get the game up and running on the iPhone in less than a week. The remaining work on it was about trying to polish the interface in terms of making the controls as responsive as I could get them on the iPhone, improving the performance and working on the networking.\n\nVB: How long did it take and how many people worked on it?\n\nJC: It was just me doing the code and I Shanghaied one of the artists to do icons and things like that. The development all told was had to estimate. I jumped around doing other things. It was maybe six weeks of serious work. The reason it took so long because we tried to be good business people and worked around other release dates. I kind of wish we hadn’t. I thought if we rushed it out after two months of Wolfenstein 3D Classic sales on the iPhone, then that might have been a better release time. But the scheduling just wasn’t right for me to put the last couple of days into it. It was only last month where we said we had to get it done and I spent two more days on it and then submitted it to Apple.\n\nVB: Did you take any learnings from your earlier iPhone games like Doom Resurrection and apply it to this?\n\nJC: There were certainly technical details like running in multiple threads. I got more skilled on the platform itself. We went back and forth on the music on Wolfenstein 3D Classic and Doom Classic. We wound up sharing some code back and forth on that. Most of the technical work was learning how the iPhone plays out relative to the underlying hardware. What are the system software and hardware issues? It’s a continuous process of experimenting with user-interface design. I started with the Wolfenstein 3D Classic interface but there are a few new wrinkles. I made positive steps, but a lot of people played Wolfenstein 3D Classic on the iPhone. So any changes I made to the interface really ticked some people off. If you spent 10 hours playing Wolfenstein 3D Classic, any change in the interface means it won’t feel right to the user. So I regret I didn’t have the exact same interface.\n\nVB: Is the interface different from Doom Resurrection?\n\nJC: It’s completely different. Doom Resurrection pulls the user through the world and you just aim at targets. It’s on rails. Doom Classic is much more like Wolfenstein 3D Classic, a shooter with free form movement. You move around, turn, change weapons and shoot.\n\nVB: How does it work on the older iPhone and the newer iPhone 3GS model?\n\nJC: It works fine on the older iPhone. The biggest performance glitch you have on this game is that the Apple system software handles multitouch really really poorly. Apple is aware of this now. The 3.1 iPhone system software made some improvements of it. But fully a third of the CPU time can be sucked up by the multitouch when you have two thumbs on the screen. It’s appallingly bad. They are making some steps to address that. A large chunk of the processing is completely out of my hands. A later release — I’m not sure when Apple has it scheduled — will have a direct, low-level interface into the touchscreen in the future. That will make all of that wasted processing vanish. The bottom line is the game plays great on every iPod Touch and iPhone ever made.\n\nVB: Does it have better performance on the iPhone 3GS?\n\nJC: No. There is no win on that. The other phones can still play the game at 30 frames per second. You never drop a frame on a 3GS. But there are no extra features. I am exciting about doing a tech demo for the 3GS. I believe I can actually retarget some of the mega-texture content creation stuff that we are creating for the big id tech 5 games. I don’t know if I want to make a game out of it or if I want to throw it out there and say gee, look at this. I am excited about playing with that technology when I get time on my hands.\n\nVB: If you target the iPhone 3GS as a base platform, you could probably do something interesting?\n\nJC: I think we could do the real Xbox Doom 3 game on a 3gs if we targeted it exclusively. That is pushing it a bit. You could probably get that kind of visual fidelity.\n\nVB: That’s starting to get exciting, graphically.\n\nJC: Yeah, very much so.\n\nVB: How well have some of these games sold and, considering the time you put into them, is the trade-off pretty good and does it pay off?\n\nJC: The classic games where I don’t spend much time on it are very lucrative. We have been very happy with Wolfenstein 3D Classic sales. Doom Resurrection was an experiment. It was the very first game that id Software funded completely out of pocket. We have always instead made publishers cough up money with a guarantee. We were doing it ourselves. We took money from our bank account and paid an outside development company. That was a bit of a gamble. It was before we saw the sales results from Wolfenstein 3D Classic. But it did earn out completely and had hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit and it is still earning revenue. We expect Doom Classic to be the biggest seller out of all of them. It’s the biggest intellectual property and has the biggest nostalgia factor. We have made more money in the traditional cell phone market, the Java/Brew market, where we have sold a few million units. But developing on those is so much less fun. You have to cram everything into these ridiculously small memory limits and worry about compatibility across 300 handsets. We are in the process of winding down our traditional cell phone development in favor of iPhone development.\n\nVB: How do you feel about the iPhone platform now? \n\nJC: There are definitely a set of system software things that should improve like multitouch handling. That’s at the top of the list. There are issues with Bluetooth support. One of the spectacular things is that Graeme Divine, who used to work for me at id, is now at Apple in their software division. I have a great man on the inside helping me get questions answered and things accomplished. It will be very good for the evolution of the platform going forward.\n\nVB: It sounds like Apple has really stepped up the game developer support?\n\nJC: Yes, they have. Our relationship with Apple is kind of a rollercoaster. We are very tight for periods. Then I say something negative in a press interview and then the word goes out that no one is supposed to speak to me for six months or something. But the iPhone relationship has been pretty good. They have hired some good people to support game development explicitly. They are doing a better job at that than they ever did on the Mac platform.\n\nVB: They have had some new things like the free-to-play virtual goods model. Does that interest you?\n\nJC: Every product we are doing is an experiment. We did a free version that didn’t make any difference on Wolfenstein 3D Classic sales. We originally wrote the setup for the in-app commerce but just made it a free update. We are still feeling our way around on business models here. Our current plan of record is to make discreet, separate apps with different price points. Probably we will have in-app commerce. We are not final on any of that. That is subject to change on a whim.\n\nVB: Apple said there are 100,000 apps today. Others have had the problem of not getting noticed and not selling for a long period in the top ranks. You seem to have less problem getting noticed. You have brand recognition.\n\nJC: There is no doubt that having a PR team and recognizable intellectual property. But the iPhone is still a vastly superior platform for an unknown developer to break into than anywhere else. If you look at the top 50 games, there are lots of quirkly little games that don’t have a major publisher behind them. And they’re doing great. It’s still a great platform for a few guys in a garage to make something for it.\n\nVB: Some developers try to increase loyalty by creating social networks around their games.\n\nJC: Those are excellent moves on their part. But it doesn’t really fit with the older catalog titles that we are doing now. I did spend time with our Quake Live team at id to figure out what experience we had with back-room infrastructure for Quake Live that we could apply to mobile titles. We didn’t really come to a conclusion. I hope to have one iPhone release a quarter, a combination of new titles and older titles. There are so many opportunities of things I’d like to explore. We don’t have the time or resources to pursue all of them.\n\nVB: So this Doom Classic game is a longer title?\n\nJC: Yes, it’s longer. It has the original Doom with three episodes and a fourth episode created later. It is 36 levels. We have a total of 110 commercial Doom levels if we count Final Doom and all of the others. I’m not sure yet what I am going to do with all of those. We might stream them out an episode at a time. We might do a super edition with everything. We might try downloadable content. We haven’t reached a firm direction on that.\n\nVB: That answers some of the criticism that Doom Resurrection was too short. Do you find people have an appetite for longer games on the iPhone?\n\nJC: We intentionally did not try to make Doom Resurrection very long. It was fairly expensive as a development. I wouldn’t be shocked if it was at that point the most expensive development cost for an iPhone game. It cost quite a bit of money to develop. It was an experiment to go out at $9.99. If iPhone games are going to approach the quality of console games, they will have to support higher price points. But the market isn’t accepting that now. I don’t think we will have another $9.99 release in the coming year. That influences what we can do.\n\nVB: Is piracy a concern on the iPhone?\n\nJC: It could be I am reading the market wrong. But it is not a concern to us. At this point, we consider it to be like console game piracy, which is small. Only fringe hackers will pirate games and go to the trouble, compared to the casual piracy on the PC which is rampant.\n\nVB: So it sounds like you are having a lot of fun on the iPhone?\n\n\nJC: I am having a lot of fun with the iPhone and I am sad I won’t spend much time on it for a couple of months at least. We have major curnches coming on Rage and Doom 4 coming up. I am going to come back to it sometime next year.\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-11-05T13:54:35Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"fe161167dacf65ef5201cad946ff69f0","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/40e015d58d74/","kind":"page"},

I tried a few 'moves' with in and it seemed a bit nicer and more responsive than I expected. My old Apple wired mouse was starting to wear out so I asked one of the Apple guys when they were coming in. He said \"20 minutes ago,\" so I was snared.\n\nMy first 'thrill' was opening the damned box. Like most Apple designed products, the plastic container is very pretty, but was a bit of a struggle to open. I needed a sharp knife, and then had to find the hidden tape that keeps the Magic Mouse attached to a little plastic base.\n\nSince this is a Bluetooth mouse, I paired it to my Mac. It worked out of the box, but I knew there was a software update with new drivers, so I checked and downloaded the new software.\n\nAfter a reboot, all was well. I have to say that the Magic Mouse has the fanciest control panel in system preferences I've ever seen. There is a little video illustrating how it works. I left the settings to the default, and started mousing away. \n\nThere were really no surprises. I have a 30 inch monitor, and can't get all the way across it with a single swipe because I have limited desk real estate. None of the settings would make it better. \n\nThe top surface is smooth and comfortable. The mouse does sit lower than a standard rodent, but I wasn't bothered by it. Clicking on the right side of the surface gives you the second mouse button with no pain or problem. You can switch the left and right 'buttons' if you are so inclined.\n\nScrolling was smooth, and you can adjust the momentum of the scroll. I especially like the 2 finger swipe for going backward and forward in web pages and iPhoto. \n\nThe only thing I think was missing is that I'd like the surface of the mouse to mimic the iPhone gesture of pinching and spreading for zoom in / zoom out. You have to use the control key to enable zooming, and I'd rather not have to go to the keyboard for that.\n\nOtherwise, everything was good. I'll get used to the different feel. The mouse comes with batteries already installed so you're ready to go -- once you get the damned package open...\n\nSome of my colleagues here at TUAW will be sharing their thoughts shortly. So far, even though this was a bit of an impulse purchase, the Magic Mouse seems fine.TUAWMagic Mouse lands at many local Apple stores originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:30:00 EST.

I had two separate, unrelated conversations about an hour apart with people working in the technology industry who once used RSS readers but had mostly abandoned them in favor of using Twitter to find news and interesting blog posts. I talked to a couple of other friends and posted the question on Twitter, which confirmed that many people are using Twitter as an RSS reader replacement.\n\nOne of the people that I talked to at Beer and Blog was Jason Mauer, Senior Developer Evangelist for Microsoft and @jasonmauer on Twitter; he says:\n\n“I follow Twitter for the conversation anyway, and have found it’s mostly duplicative to also follow the blog feeds of people I’m already following on Twitter. If they post something, I’ll usually hear about it in a tweet.\n\nWhere Twitter really pays off is through the power of social networking — interesting content surfaces naturally from people’s recommendations. I might not know that blogger at all who just wrote a really great post, but I’ll hear about it via retweeting. People I follow deliver content piping hot right to my desk. And unlike RSS, Twitter is two-way — the discussion is right there. I get more bang for the buck spending the precious resource that is attention on Twitter than on an RSS reader, which feels like a chore in comparison.”\n\nMike McClure, strategy and governance consultant and @mcclure on Twitter, says:\n\n“I use twitter in lieu of an RSS reader for productivity and efficiency reasons. All but one of my news sites make announcements on Twitter anyway, so I don’t need to check yet another news source. If the news is big enough, it’ll be circulated enough that I’ll find out soon enough anyway. I’m an analyst not a reporter, so being first to see the news is less important to me than seeing a broad set of thoughts and opinions about the same news.\n\nFor real-time information there’s Twitter, for everything else there’s Google.”\n\nMcClure also mentioned that Twitter lists might make it even easier to use Twitter to keep up on news, since you can categorize groups of Twitter accounts to create news lists for even easier access to news feeds on Twitter.\n\nThese conversations got me thinking about how my use of RSS readers has changed. I am still an obsessive user of RSS, but the feeds that I check most often aren’t news related. I have feeds for Yahoo Pipes that track mentions of all my various projects, clients and other important information, and I regularly read feeds that have unique content that I wouldn’t otherwise find (web comics, niche blogs, online community content, etc.) However, I read my news feeds or mainstream blog feeds much less often than before. Most of the news that I would get from technology blogs has already been discussed and linked on Twitter by the time I get to it in my RSS reader, so I rarely need to read my news feeds.\n\nThe feedback on Twitter (as Twitter doesn’t store tweets indefinitely this link may not work in the future) shows that many people are replacing RSS readers with Twitter, but that doesn’t tell the entire story.\n\n\nAs you can see, quite a few people have reduced their use of RSS readers, but like most trends, it isn’t universal. There are plenty of people — like me — who still use RSS readers for some feeds, but there are other people who have actually increased their RSS reading as a result of Twitter. The increased usage seems to fall into two categories: People who read Twitter in their RSS reader, and people who run across new things that they then add to their RSS reader.\n\nHas Twitter changed the way you use an RSS reader?\n\n\n \nRead our latest analysis piece, \"Mobile Sites Show Little Improvement.\" Only on GigaOM Pro.\n    \n","saved":"2009-10-29T16:12:42Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b144e1e8259380c240368036f0fb37fc","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e13180306d99/","kind":"page"},

Wikipedia allows users to register and personalize their Wikipedia environment via the configuration of options and the use of styles or skins. Just log in to Wikipedia, enable the Custom Search skin and you'll have quick access to relevant Google Custom Search results from Wikipedia. With the Custom Search skin, your search results are conveniently placed inline on the page. After you've reviewed the results, you can dismiss them and return to the current article of interest without having to switch to a different tab on your browser; you can access the relevant Wikipedia articles right within the Wikipedia interface.The Custom Search skin also features contextual search — searching across different sets of pages as you navigate Wikipedia. For Wikipedia pages with a lot of information and links, contextual search lets you limit your search to only those Wikipedia pages that are linked from the current article, focusing the results on the topic of the article. So, in addition to getting all matching Wikipedia articles, you can quickly drill down to contextually relevant results using the Linked Wikipedia Pages tab.For example, searching for [sequence] from a Wikipedia page on DNA provides a list of relevant results about DNA sequences and DNA sequence alignment, instead of the many pages about sequences (in mathematics, poetry, music, games, etc.) that aren't relevant. Similarly, searching within the DNA page for [bonds] gives you results in chemistry and biochemistry, instead of other information about financial instruments and social sciences. This will help you perform more directed research, often with shorter queries, and get to relevant Wikipedia articles faster.As you can see from the screenshot below, the Linked Wikipedia Pages tab helps you get quickly to the article about DNA sequence from a search for [sequence] on the DNA page.To configure the new skin, follow the instructions on the Custom Search skin page on Wikipedia. It works with both Wikipedia's default Monobook style or the new Beta Vector style. You will need to log in to Wikipedia to customize your Wikipedia search.For more information about the technology behind this application release, read our post on the Google Custom Search blog.Wikipedia encourages technical innovation and tools to help you get improved access to knowledge, so please post your opinions about this contextual search experience at Wikimedia or give us feedback directly.Last Friday was the third anniversary of the launch of Custom Search — we would like to take a moment to thank the millions of you who have implemented Custom Search on your sites. To celebrate our birthday we're releasing two new features that we hope will help you better customize your search results: Custom Search Themes and  Structured Custom Search. Check out this post on the Google Custom Search blog to learn more about our third anniversary.Posted by Rajat Mukherjee, Group Product Manager, Search and Mathias Schindler, Wikimedia Foundation\n \n","saved":"2009-10-27T00:09:46Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"f179347293a29f9e34e9413d1354480c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/63f1f0f90e8f/","kind":"page"},

If the airports are good--or if there's a bullet train nearby--hundreds of miles might as well be down the street. Point being, \"distance\" is now really a function less of geography, than of the transport networks we've invented. \n\nWhich is why researchers at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy, and the World Bank, created this gorgeous map. They first created a model, which calculated how long it would take to travel from a given point, to the nearest city of 50,000 people or more; the model includes rail, road, and river networks. \n\nThen they plotted these results on a color coded map: The brighter an area, the closer it is to a big city; the darker it is, the further out it is. (The blue lines above represent oceanic shipping lanes.)\n\nAs the New Scientist reports: \n\n Plotted onto a map, the results throw up surprises. First, less than 10% of the world's land is more than 48 hours of ground-based travel from the nearest city. What's more, many areas considered remote and inaccessible are not as far from civilization as you might think. In the Amazon, for example, extensive river networks and an increasing number of roads mean that only 20% of the land is more than two days from a city--around the same proportion as Canada's Quebec province.\nThe most remote place: Tibet, parts of which are as much as three weeks away from a city--with the journey comprising 20 days on foot.\n\n\n\nCheck out the New Scientist's entire gallery of 11 different maps.","saved":"2009-10-26T05:18:33Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"d7d27723462d8e5685f7c62fa4d7eb9f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/2761f5daedaf/","kind":"page"},

Gruber mentions that this decision was more of a legal one than a technical one. Perhaps Sun's new owner, Oracle (not a big open source player), wants to keep the technology in-house.

We use algorithms to find top-rising images, videos and pages from anywhere (not just your subscriptions), collect them in the new Popular items section and order them by what we think you'll like best. Now you don't have to be embarrassed about missing that hilarious video everyone is talking about — it should show up in your Popular items feed automatically. And to make it easier to find interesting feeds, we're moving Recommendations into the new Explore section and giving it a new name — Recommended sources. Like always, it uses your Reader Trends and Web History (if you're opted into Web History) to generate a list of feeds we think you might like.Personalized ranking - Only have a 10-minute coffee break and want to see the best items first? All feeds now have a new sort option called \"magic\" that re-orders items in the feed based on your personal usage, and overall activity in Reader, instead of default chronological order. Click \"Sort by magic\" under the Folder Settings menu of your feed to switch to personalized ranking. Unlike the old \"auto\" ranking, this new ranking is personalized for you, and gets better with time as we learn what you like best — the more you \"like\" and \"share\" stuff, the better your magic sort will be. Give it a try on a high-volume feed folder or All items and see for yourself!The goal of personalization at Google remains the same as ever: to help you find the best content on the web. We hope these new features help you do just that — go Explore for yourself.Finally, we'd love to hear your feedback — share your thoughts on our help group, Twitter or the Reader section of Get Satisfaction, a third party support community.Posted by Beverly Yang, Software Engineer, Search Quality\n \n","saved":"2009-10-23T03:36:39Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"fda366bc3d2c82a250160e221f3b6c2d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/2d543fb1beef/","kind":"page"},

We've come a long way since our very first public beta on January 9th 2006 at MacWorld.(We didn't even have a crop tool in the first release!)   For this latest release we went back to the drawing board and revisited what we believe are the fundamental priorities of our customers:  Performance and Image Quality.  Lightroom has been stripped down to the \"engine block\" in order to rebuild a performance architecture that meets the needs of photographers with growing image collections and increasing megapixels.  The raw processing engine has also received an overhaul right down to the fundamental demosaic algorithms that now allows unprecedented sharpening and noise reduction results.   \n\n\nRevisiting the success of the first Lightroom public beta, we want to provide photographers with early access to this new technology so that we have adequate time to respond to feedback.   While we're not going all the way back to a 14 month, 4 version public beta like we did for Lightroom 1, we do want more flexibility than we had in our public beta for Lightroom 2.   Here are a few key details on what we're looking for feedback on:\n\n\nImport\nWe've redesigned the Lightroom import experience to make it much easier to visualize how Lightroom allows you to manage your files.

You can also quickly browse your hard drive to find exactly the right file you need to work on.\n\n\nPublish Collections\nWe live in a connected world so you need direct access to publish your photos on your favorite sharing site from directly within the Lightroom Library.  In the Lightroom 3 public beta we're providing direct access to the Flickr photo sharing site so that adding images to your Photostream is as simple as a drag and drop.  You can see all of your uploaded images and if you make any changes to those images you can have them updated on Flickr automatically.(Pro accounts only)  When a visitor comments on your images, Lightroom can pull that comment right back into the Library so that you can see feedback on your files where it belongs, next to the image in your Lightroom library.  We've built this functionality with the same extensibility designed for our Export Plug-ins so if Flickr isn't your cup of tea we're working hard to support developers who can create connections to any of the popular photo sharing sites.  Publish collections can do more than just publish to a photo sharing site.  You can have a publish collection that allows you to publish images to my iPhone sync folder with drag and drop simplicity.  \n\n\nImage Quality\nSharpening and Noise Reduction\nIn the Develop module we've focused on tuning our raw processing algorithms to extract incredible detail and quality from your images.  Capture sharpening and Color Noise Reduction improvements work together to give you incredible noise reduction results without losing that fine detail.  We're only halfway through our noise reduction efforts but believe that you will be very pleased with the results so far.  We've actually disabled the previous Luminance Noise Reduction so that you can focus on evaluating the Color Noise reduction implementation.\n\n\nGrain\nWhile Lightroom's improved noise reduction will give you incredibly smooth images, sometimes you want a little texture or grain in your images.  We've added a grain tool that can add a natural film-style grain to your images to get that perfect look for your photo.\n\n\nVignette\nThe Lightroom team received quite a bit of feedback on our post-crop vignette tool in Lightroom 2 that allows photographers to apply beautifully styled vignettes after cropping is applied.  While the tool was received quite well, we found that photographers wanted a more natural vignette that utilized an exposure or brightness effect rather than just painting black and white on the edges of images.  We've added two vignette modes in Lightroom 3 beta, Color Priority and Highlight Priority that attempt to provide the natural vignette that photographers have requested. Let's not get hung up on the technical details of these models but rather focus on which you prefer for your images and why.\n\n\nProcess Version\nThe changes above are so significant that for the first time since the Camera Raw plug-in was introduced in 2003, we've needed to add the concept of a process version.   The process version specifies which version of certain Camera Raw image processing elements should be used when rendering and editing files. Process version can affect raw, DNG, TIFF, JPEG, and PSD files. The process version is incremented only when major changes to the raw processing or features are changed. In Lightroom 3, the demosaicing, noise reduction, sharpening, and post crop vignette were all updated.  Depending on what is applied to the image, different image characteristics will change more dramatically than others (i.e. sharpening should change sharpening characteristics etc.), but the demosaic changes apply across the board, so there will always be some change.  By default, we'll leave your images just as they were but if you want to take advantage of the latest processing technology, just update to the current process version.  You can update to the latest process version by selecting the notification triangle that includes an exclamation point above the left hand side of the histogram. (Or from the Settings -> Process Version file menu available in the Develop module)  By default, all new files in Lightroom 3 beta will receive the latest process version.\n\n\nSlideshow Export\nOne of the most elegant ways to present your images is in a slideshow accompanied by music.  But until now, you could only share that slideshow with music when playing it directly from within the Lightroom application.  But with Lightroom 3 we've added the ability to export high quality movie files that include your detailed layout and the music track you've selected.  By utilizing the popular H.264 movie format you can share these movies on many popular video sharing sites or optimize it for mobile media!\n\n\nCustom Print Package\nLightroom 3 adds a new custom layout option for photographers who need complete control over their print layouts.  Add as many different images in whatever configuration you desire on a single or multiple pages.  \n\n\nWatermarking\nLightroom 3's new watermarking function lets you embed your identity or other information in your images themselves. You can apply text or graphic watermarks to a photograph with adjustable size, position, and opacity.  Available in the Print and Web modules as well as the Export dialog, your identity can now travel with all of your images.\n\n\nWhat's Next?\nWe're not even close to finished in terms of features, performance or image quality but we want early feedback on our improvements so that we have time to make sure Lightroom 3 is your ideal workflow assistant.\n\n\nAdditional Details\nGeneralOn Mac, the 'hit zone' for the right scroll bar in the grid view has been expanded so that a closed right hand panel doesn't automatically open too easily.  The automatic panel opening experience has been modified so that it takes a longer amount of time for the panel to open in cases of overshooting the scrollbar. (Mouse towards the white triangle for instant opening) Please provide feedback on this new behavior so that it can be modified or added to the Windows version of Lightroom.Images can be sorted by aspect ratioThe catalog selection dialog has been expanded and improved\n\nLibrary\nYou can backup your catalog when you quit Lightroom instead of on launchA volume can be ejected or un-mounted from your system directly from the volume browser in the Library module.Collections can be created directly within a collection set by right-clicking on the collection setImages can be sorted by aspect ratioThe name of a collection is displayed when an image is added to a target collectionStack badges can now be toggled on or off independently in the filmstrip via an interface preferenceErasing with the spray paint tool now requires the use of the Alt keySelect a folder in the Library module and choose a new option \"Import to here\" to launch the import dialog with that folder preselected as the destinationThe import dialog provides source folder and destination volume capacity informationThe option to include items from subfolders has been included in the primary Folder panel drop down menuChoose Library -> Show Missing Images to locate offline or missing filesA lock icon has been added to the metadata filter bar in the Library module to make filter selections \"global\" across folders or collectionsAn icon has been added to grid thumbnails to indicate that an image is part of a collection.

The status page, which are an (often default) option in the open source Apache web server dump an output of all connections and state information for a particular server. The information is used by administrators to monitor servers, and the pages are often either removed entirely or locked down to prevent the information from being used for nefarious purposes.\n\nAt some point in the past 24 hours (I would more accurately guess 22 hours 28 minutes and 4 seconds ago, based on the status page itself), the Twitter web servers introduced a misconfiguration to expose this information to the public. The page includes overall server statistics along with every HTTP requests currently being handled by that server, with the full request URL. The server status page is usually accessed by requesting /server-status for a web server. In the case of Twitter, this exposure allows anybody to see requests that sometimes rely on being secret to remain secure, such as oAuth keys, which are used to authorize applications to access Twitter accounts.\n\nNews of the pages being open spread quickly through Twitter, with some calling it “great transparency” while others recognizing it for what it is – a little too much transparency, and unintentional.

Finance. It was everything I had ever wanted as an investor, at least as a public market investor. I could not believe that all of it was free and in one place. I was a loyal Yahoo! Finance user for the better part of ten years. Recently I've found myself using Google Finance a bit more. But rarely does a day go by when I don't find myself visiting a service like Yahoo! Finance or Google Finance.\nFor the past few months, I've been using a new service instead of these two workhorses. It is called Tracked.com and it is a Union Square Ventures portfolio company.\nWe've never been much for \"stealth\" projects and this is our first. We invested in Tracked.com in the summer of 2008 and have watched it slowly but surely take shape over the past year. And we are very excited that it has now launched publicly (it was quietly available on the open web for the past few months under a different URL). Tracked.com is the brainchild of Mike Yavonditte, who ran and sold Quigo to AOL in late 2007. Mike has recruited a top notch team to go after this opportunity.\nThe opportunity is simply to redefine what a business information service should be on the open internet. Yahoo! Finance and Google Finance are largely ticker driven. If the company you want to learn about is not publicly traded, then you aren't going to find much information on these services.\nContrast that with services like LinkedIn or Crunchbase. These services are company and people driven. If a company or a person is well known, there is a good chance they have a page in Tracked.com. And if they don't now, they will soon. \nThere is one more piece to Tracked.com that is important to talk about. Tracked.com is social. Users have a profile in the service and can send messages to each other in the service (and via twitter and facebook very shortly). Objects in the service (news, quotes, charts, public filings, companies, people) can be sent around like links in twitter and facebook.\nI like to say that Tracked.com is what sits in the triangle that you can form with Yahoo! Finance on one point, LinkedIn on another point, and Twitter on the third point. It is not designed to compete with these services. It is designed to complement them and extend their usage models.\nBut as I said yesterday, it's a lot better to spend 15 minutes using a service than reading about it. So go check out Tracked.com and let me know what you think of it.","saved":"2009-10-21T15:45:53Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"fe75d9a3d6446f65bf820205e386a739","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b8ef85aebf03/","kind":"page"},

Our family regularly goes through 1100-1200 kWh a month, and it's been frustrating that I couldn't really get a grip on where or when the power was really being used.  I want to get my power usage under control for three reasons:\n\nI want to reduce my $180-a-month-and-climbing power bill.  Public Service Company of NH (PSNH) has one of the higher electricity rates in the country (we have a nuke we're still paying off, among other things.)\nI'm seriously investigating adding solar to the mix, now that a 30% federal tax credit, a $6,000 state rebate, and lower prices for the panels have converged.  It would be great to get my usage down into the 600-800 kWh average output I've been told I can expect a month from a system, and zero out my PSNH bill on a yearly basis.\nI'm a firm believer in reducing carbon emissions, I'd like my 14 year old son to have a world to grow up in.  I've already cut my fuel oil use in half (to a still awful 250 gallons a month in the winter, but it's a huge house...)  Cutting my electricity is the next low-hanging piece of fruit on the tree.\n\n\n\nI had been tracking Google PowerMeter, a Google initiative that lets people monitor their energy usage online, but it was only available to customers of electric providers who were using so-called \"Smart Meters\". Smart Meters send usage data back to the provider, and PSNH isn't one of them.\n\n\nThen, this week, Google announced on their blog that normal mortals could now order a device called The Energy Detective (or TED, as he's known by his friends...)  TED is made by Energy, Inc. out of South Carolina, and consists of a minimum of two components.  The first piece is an inductive current measuring device that lives out in your circuit breaker box.  The second is a gateway device that plugs into a wall socket and has an Ethernet jack.  Optionally, you can also get a stand-alone display, so that you don't need a computer to view your usage.\n\n\nWiring the sensor device into your box is fairly straightforward.  You clamp the two sensors around the mains as they come into the box.  You also have to wire the device to the two \"hot\" phases of your 220V service (which requires two free breakers in your box on different phases), and a third wire running to neutral.  If you have some basic electrical savvy, you can do it yourself, but I decided to wimp out, since my box is so crowded (after-effects of having a transfer switch put in for a generator...), so I shelled out the $85 to have an electrician put it in.\n\n\nThe gateway unit communicates with the sensor unit via signals sent over the house AC.  As with anything using the power lines to communicate, I found the unit was very particularly to which outlet I plugged it into.  It really doesn't like to share a circuit with a computer, for example. Neither of the two plugs which was actually next to a network hub would pick up a signal, but one in an adjacent room that happened to have a network jack did.\n\n\nOnce you have the gateway talking to the sensors and plugged into the network (it uses DHCP to get an address), you can surf to it using any browser.  I can even get to it using Safari on my iPhone.  The \"home\" screen is a dashboard, showing various statistics about current demand and your daily, weekly and monthly averages.  You can view the data in terms of kWh, dollars (once you tell TED how much you pay for power, it can even handle peak period and tiered pricing models), or pounds of CO2.\n\n\nAll of the ranges on the dials and bar-graphs are configurable, so if you want 3kWh to be \"red\", you can set it up that way.  You can also configure refresh rates.  Clicking on the \"Graphing\" tab lets you view your usages second to second, minute by minute, or by daily or weekly aggregates.\n\n\nIt's these graphs that I have found to be most useful.  You can start to see all sorts of interesting patterns, like the \"heartbeat\" of my furnace turning on and off at night, when the rest of the house is otherwise quiet.\n\n\nI can also see the huge hump when my son wakes up in the morning, and proceeds to turn on every first floor light in the house.  I was even able to tell that my wife had turned on the dishwasher before she left for school one morning.\n\nThe hourly aggregates are better for looking at overall trends, as opposed to discrete events.  I was surprised to see that 3AM was actually a heavier usage period than noon on a weekday, although it makes sense in hindsight.  At 3AM, the furnace is running more, whereas with the house empty at noon, the relative warmth lets the furnace run less.\n\n\n\nUsing TED, I've been able to quickly find the critical items that I need to make sure get shut off when not used.  A big one is my Mac Pro, good for between 200 and 400 watts.  I now turn it off when I got to bed at night and leave for work.  The LCD TV and surround sound amplifier downstairs are another.  It's early days, but I've already been able to trim down about 20-30% of my daily usage. Once I have more than a few day's data in the system, the daily aggregates should be able to let me see how I'm doing at reducing my usages overall.  \n\n\nThere's also a nice feature, at least in concept, called load profiles.  The basic idea is that TED can figure out when certain appliances or other pieces of gear are turned on or off, based on the power drawn.  As I said, it's a nice idea in principal, but in reality, it only works if you have devices that draw very unique amounts of power, and do it consistently.  If you have two devices that both draw about the same amount of power, TED won't be able to tell the difference between turning one on, and turning the other one on.  And if the device doesn't draw the same current (plus or minus 10%) every time, it won't get tagged correctly.  But short of putting individual sensors on each device, TED does about as well as you could expect. \n\n\nIf you set your firewall / router up right, you can even access TED from the web outside your house.  You can also use an iPhone app to monitor your usage, although it's pretty primitive.  For example, you can't see graphs of usage.  Also, if you password-protect TED (good if you're going to be putting it out on the web), you can't use the iPhone app, since it also passwords the API.  I've started playing around with writing a better app, using the publically documented API, with graphing and password support.\n\n\nI started this article by talking about Google's PowerMeter, and TED does in fact integrate with PowerMeter.  But honestly, PowerMeter seems downright primitive after all the features that the native TED interface gives you.  For one thing, it's only available as a widget on Google's iGoogle page, something I never use (largely because it doesn't integrate with my Google Apps for Domains account...)  It also offers very little in the way of functionality, beyond a simple bar graph.  One nice thing it does have is a comparison bar, that tells you how your consumption compares to average households of various sizes.\n\n\nA basic TED setup with one sensor unit and one gateway runs $200, a stand-alone display raises the price to $240.  If you want to monitor solar output as well, or have a two panel house, the prices are somewhat higher.  It's certainly not cheap, you can get a good netbook for that kind of money, but it will pay me back in a year if I can reduce my comsumption by a mere 10%.  Evidently, I'm not the only one who was interested in TED, because all the units are currently on a 4-6 week backorder at their site.\n\n\nOf course, all TED is going to do is to tell me what, in a sense, I already know: turning things off saves energy.  But by quantifying it, and letting me see what really makes a difference, it lets me focus my energy on what matters.  And frankly, it's fun, at least at the moment, to see how low I can get my consumption at any given time.\n\n\n   \n","saved":"2009-10-21T04:39:13Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e46e0fc69c20205d507336d3054eba3d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/763b46b58273/","kind":"page"},

(See, for example, \"Curing Your LaunchBar Addiction,\" 6 August 2007, or \"Take Control of Exploring & Customizing Snow Leopard\".) LaunchBar is so crucial to my moment-by-moment Mac usage that I can barely tolerate a Mac that lacks it; I just sit there, slack-jawed, inert, unable to proceed and get anything done. Naturally, in the run-up to Snow Leopard, I was concerned over whether my LaunchBar dependency would be rudely interrupted. But, no problem: LaunchBar 5, which had been \navailable as a beta since December 2008, was already in \"release candidate\" form, and I happily started using it several months ago.\n \n \nOn 20 October 2009, LaunchBar 5.0.1 was released. Despite the \".1\" designation, this marks LaunchBar's emergence from its \"release candidate\" phase; so, since we at TidBITS generally prefer to keep silent about betas and other unfinished software, this release is my earliest opportunity to discuss LaunchBar 5, the first official version compatible with Snow Leopard.\n \n \nLaunchBar is one of those utilities I'd describe as massively explorable: it has far more features than I'm truly familiar with. In fact, I use it actively in a surprisingly limited set of ways. So instead of trying to list everything that LaunchBar can do - which you can explore for yourself, by downloading LaunchBar or by reading its documentation online - I thought I'd let you peek over my shoulder and watch how I actually use it.\n \n \nFirst, a few introductory words about what LaunchBar is. Periodically, LaunchBar indexes certain resources on your hard disk, such as your applications, preference panes, browser bookmarks and history, and services (you can configure what it indexes and how often); it also has some built-in actions of its own. LaunchBar is effectively invisible until you summon it with its hot-key shortcut. By default, that's Command-Space, but I've changed it to Control-Space on my machines. When you summon LaunchBar, its small bar-shaped window appears just below the menu bar; you can now \"talk\" to LaunchBar, either by normal typing or with keyboard shortcuts. The \"normal typing\" is often an abbreviation; LaunchBar is smart about matching \nabbreviations to things in its index, and learns as you use it. When you're done, which you generally signal by pressing Return, LaunchBar recedes into invisibility once again. So my normal interaction is entirely through the keyboard (though LaunchBar does also have some drag-and-drop features) and goes like this: Summon, type, dismiss. This happens quite often: sometimes about once a minute, and occasionally much more frequently. \n \n \nSo what precisely am I doing so frequently with LaunchBar? Here's a quick rundown of my most common uses:\n \n \nSummon an application. To specify the application, I type its abbreviation. So, to summon TextMate, I say Control-Space, TM, Return; to summon BBEdit, it's Control-Space, BB, Return; and so on. I say \"summon\" because I use this technique whether or not the application is already running. LaunchBar does have an application switcher - Control-Space, Command-R, and a list of running applications appears - but I find it simpler to ignore entirely the distinction between running and non-running applications. In fact, I use LaunchBar to switch applications more than I use Mac OS X's own Command-Tab switcher, or the Dock, because when I want an application I want it by name, and don't have the time or inclination to search for an \nobscure icon.\n \n \nOpen a System preference pane. LaunchBar indexes and abbreviates various things besides applications, and among those, preference panes are probably the most important in my daily usage. I open preference panes quite a bit for one reason or another, and for reaching a specific pane quickly, the System Preferences window, or even the System Preferences menu, just doesn't cut it. To open the Sound preference pane, for example, even if System Preferences isn't running, it's Control-Space, SOUND, Return, and kaboom, I'm there.\n \n \nOperate on an application. Sorry, that phrase is a bit fuzzy because it has to cover a bunch of stuff I do by starting as if to summon an application but then pressing a keyboard shortcut instead of Return. For example, to see the BBEdit application file on disk, it's Control-Space, BB, Command-Return; to do a Finder Get Info on BBEdit, it's Control-Space, BB, Command-I.\n \n \nOpen a recent document. This actually falls under the previous paragraph's topic (\"operate on an application\"), but it's so important to me that it needs special treatment here. LaunchBar associates a document with the application that recently opened it, so I can open a recent document by starting with its application. I love this, because it accords with how I actually think: the Finder's list of recent documents is just a meaningless jumble to me, and switching to an application and looking in its File  >  Open Recent list is clumsy. Instead, to open a document recently opened (say) with BBEdit, it's Control-Space, BB, Right-Arrow. This presents a list of BBEdit's recent documents, which I can navigate with arrow keys or \nby typing an abbreviation; Return opens the selected document (with BBEdit). This feature works only with applications whose recent documents list LaunchBar can actually see, thus excluding some clunkers like Microsoft Word and Excel; but such is life.\n \n \nOpen a Finder document with a specific application. This was always useful, but has become even more important to me now that Mac OS X has repudiated any creator code-based association between a document and the application that created it (see \"Snow Leopard Snubs Document Creator Codes,\" 6 September 2009). Let's say I'm in the Finder, and I select the document I want to open. Let's say I want to open it with BBEdit. Then it's Control-Space and hold down Control-Space for an extra moment; this is called Instant Send, and means that LaunchBar accepts the selection and awaits further instructions. Those instructions can be a specification for an application. So the whole \nprocess goes: Control-Space (and hold), BB, Return. That causes the Finder selection to be opened with BBEdit. Mac OS X itself has various ways to tell a document to open with a specific application, but in my view this beats them all. I particularly appreciate this feature when a document is multivalent, such as an HTML file, which can be usefully opened with a text editor for editing or with a browser for viewing.\n \n \nSearch on the Web. LaunchBar includes a bunch of \"search templates\", meaning it knows how to submit a word or phrase as a search term to specific search engines. Safari has a Google field, but LaunchBar is like having a Google field, a Wikipedia field, and an eBay field - and more - all rolled into one. When I say Control-Space, G, Return, LaunchBar doesn't vanish; instead, its little bar-shaped window turns into a text field, where I can type a search term and then press Return again. This causes the search term I typed to be sent to Google in my browser. Moreover, this feature works with Instant Send. So if, as not infrequently happens, a friend emails me saying something like, \"Hey, check out item 150381062374 in eBay,\" I \nselect \"150381062374\" directly in that email message and type Control-Space and hold, EB, Return. Effectively, I'm taken straight to that very listing in eBay.\n \n \nDelve into clipboard history. Why a clipboard with a memory isn't built into Mac OS X is a mystery to me. I've used various clipboard history utilities in the past, such as CopyPaste and PTHPasteboard; I still appreciate them, and they typically have power clipboard features that LaunchBar lacks. But right now LaunchBar's clipboard history, new in version 5, is plenty good enough for me; in fact, it boasts more features than I actually use. The way I've set it up, I press Shift-Control-Option-Command-V (easier for me to remember than the default Option-Command-Backslash) and LaunchBar displays a list of the last 20 things that got copied to the system clipboard; I select one and \npress Return to paste it into the frontmost application.\n \n \nAnd that, in a nutshell, sums up my typical, constant use of LaunchBar. To be sure, none of this qualifies me as a LaunchBar power user; really, it's almost shameful how few of LaunchBar's capabilities I actively take advantage of. Of the many other things LaunchBar can do, some are beyond my everyday habits, and some I actively dislike. For example, I don't like the feature where you type a URL directly to go to it in your browser, because it doesn't interface with my browser history and bookmarks to offer \"smart\" suggestions as I type, the way Safari's own address field does. And I really dislike LaunchBar's iTunes browsing interface, because when you navigate in LaunchBar to a song by way of its album and ask to play that \nsong, it makes iTunes play the album out of order.\n \n \nIn general, though, such infelicities don't matter, and neither does my apparently shallow use of LaunchBar. What matters is that I use LaunchBar constantly and automatically, and that my use of LaunchBar makes me nimble where LaunchBar-less users are slow. To switch tasks, I don't need to know where an application lives on disk or what its icon looks like; I don't need to play with the Dock or even the Command-Tab switcher. And LaunchBar's commands, and my frequently used abbreviations, are so ingrained in my fingers, it's almost as though just thinking the application's name brings it frontmost or opens a recent or selected document with it.\n \n \nTo try this all-but-mindreading utility for yourself, download the 30-day free trial (2.74MB). LaunchBar 5.0.1 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 or later, and costs €24 (€9 to upgrade from an earlier version).\n \n \n\n \nRead and post comments about this article | Tweet this article\n\nVMware Fusion.

Designed by Thomas Meyerhoffer, a former Apple designer, the WikiReader measures 3.9 inches (9.9 cm) square and 0.8 inches (20 mm) thick, and weighs in at 4.5 ounces (127 g). That's about the size of a squared-off iPod touch, and although it's twice as thick, it's half as heavy.\n \n \n \n \n\nFor viewing, the WikiReader features a scratch-resistant glass touchscreen. It's grayscale, but I haven't yet been able to determine the resolution or how many shades of gray it can display. As far as I can tell, there's no backlight, so it won't work in the dark.\n \n \nMost of what you'll do - scrolling, entering search terms, clicking links - happens on the touchscreen, but there are three physical buttons that do exactly what you'd expect: Search, History, and, for a little serendipitous browsing, Random. WikiReader reportedly uses only open software and Openmoko will be posting their source code shortly.\n \n \nPower comes from a pair of standard AAA batteries, which can power the WikiReader for - get this - about a year of normal usage. It's such a joy to hear about a device that doesn't need constant recharging.\n \n \nOf course, the reason for the miserly power usage is that the WikiReader has no connectivity at all. Instead, all three million articles of the English-language Wikipedia are stored on a microSD card - presumably 8 GB in size. Users with microSD card readers will be able to download updates for free, but since the updates are over 4 GB in size right now (and will only be growing), Openmoko also offers a $29-per-year update service that mails you a new microSD card every six months.\n \n \nThe downside of this update mechanism is twofold. Wikipedia evolves constantly, correcting mistakes and adding new articles, whereas the WikiReader can show only a snapshot in time. Also, Wikipedia provides numerous links out to original sources on the Internet; you won't be able to follow those. \n \n \nBut of course, eliminating the need for connectivity enables extreme battery life, ensures that the WikiReader works anywhere, and eliminates much of the concern some parents have with letting children browse the Web unattended. Apparently, WikiReader includes additional parental controls as well, since there are certainly bits of Wikipedia that some parents might not want their kids to read.\n \n \nThere's no question that an iPhone or iPod touch with a Wikipedia app will provide a more up-to-date and colorful experience than a WikiReader, but Openmoko may have hit a sweet spot with the WikiReader's price, size, and lack of flexibility that will make it perfect for kids of a certain age.\n \n \nAlthough the WikiReader is available only in English at the moment, if it proves sufficiently popular, Openmoko could come up with versions that include other languages. Or, perhaps an international version could embed an even more capacious microSD card that could hold all Wikipedia articles regardless of language.\n \n \nThe WikiReader is available for $99 directly from Openmoko.\n \n \n\n \nRead and post comments about this article | Tweet this article\n\nTHE MISSING SYNC FOR iPHONE: Sync notes, tasks, files and\ndocuments between your iPhone or iPod touch and a Mac.

Here are a couple that I saw that made me go “wow” when I heard they were shot on a stills camera. I have no idea how they will hold up on a 50″plasma TV, but who’s got time to watch TV anymore. It’s worth noting that both involve some serious hardships to shoot.\n\nFirst This Documentary on Afghanistan shot by Danfung Dennis. He says “The footage was shot on a custom built rig, using a Canon 5D Mark II, 24-70 f/2.8 L lens, Sennheiser ME-66 and G2 wireless system, Singh-Ray variable ND filter, and Beachtek 2XAs mounted on a Glidecam 2000 HD with custom made aluminum ‘wings.’”\n\n\n\nThe next one comes from Surf photographer Yassine (Yazzy) Ouhilal:\n\n[YouTube Video]\n\nSince I know Yazzy I asked him a couple questions:\n\nDid you edit, shoot and record all the sound yourself?\n\nI shot  most of the raw footage and time lapses over 44 days in the Arctic. A couple of other members of the expedition shot additional footage as well. Since this was also an editorial photo trip, a lot of the surfing footage had to be shot by someone else as I was usually too busy shooting stills. The rest of the time, it was pretty easy to go from shooting stills to video with the 5DMKII.\n\nThe audio was pulled from video interviews and audio recordings I got from some of the expedition members. I loaned an H2 digital audio recorder to the surfers on the expedition and asked them to record their thoughts when they were alone or by themselves in order to get authentic impressions from their experience in the Arctic- which wasn’t without challenges.\n\nA lot of the sound effects were pulled from video clips. The 5DMKII has an audio input jack which allows for hi quality mics to be used.\n\nI edited the film myself in imovie and mixed all the audio/sound/music tracks in Garage Band, two simple yet very effective pieces of software that if properly used can yield pretty incredible results.\n\nThe time lapses were animated using Quicktime Pro (by importing image sequences of stills and exporting uncompressed movie files)\n\nWhat kind of experience do you have doing this kind of stuff?\n\nI actually have a film production background- I spent 6 years at Concordia University in Montreal doing the Film Production program there. That was just before the digital/video era so the majority of the film work I did was in 16 and 35mm using editing tables and optical printers that are a much slower process than today’s digital workflow.\n\nAfter film school, I found it hard to integrate the industry as a film maker. My two options were to try and get funding for my own films or to start working as a technician on film sets and work my way up the food chain. I opted to pursue my dreams and passions as a surf photographer instead and for the last 10 years, I’ve been roaming the globe shooting off the beaten path locations for magazines and companies. This type of work has given me the freedom to work in a field that I really enjoy and has been a good balance of personal and creative freedom as I have been self funding a lot of my trips on a freelance basis and then (hopefully) recouping my investments by providing the content out to various editorial clients.\n\nReturning to filmmaking has been a natural progression and one that I have been looking forward to for a long time now.The way technology is going now, the line between photography and filmmaking is getting thinner and thinner everyday. It has been really exciting to get to shoot with a camera like the 5DMKII. As a photographer, I really know how to compose my shots and how my glass works. To be able to translate that into a cinematic medium has been really incredible.\n\nThe experience I had in film school using a much more traditional and slower workflow, it has definitely helped  me to restrain myself and not get carried away with all the possibilities of the digital workflow.\n\nHow much time did it take you to make this shot doc?\n\nWhile I probably could have put something together for this project in just a few days, I really wanted to make an authentic film about the experience of surfing in the Arctic- with all the drama and the hostility of the environment. The editing process was done over  3 months. Much like with my photography, I like to distance myself from the content so that I can approach it again with a fresher perspective. It allows me to look at the photos/footage objectively rather than to remain attached to certain shots or clips because of the experience involved with obtaining the imagery. I find that in both photography and filmmaking, being able to “let go” is an important part of the process. Maybe an image means a lot to me because I endured many hardships to obtain it, but I have to keep in mind that the audience doesn’t necessarily know that- therefore will often see less value than I do in a particular shot. Distancing myself from the content for a certain period is definitely part of my approach and it really helps to “forget” about it in order to rediscover it.\n\nOver the first month or two, I basically narrowed down the raw footage from around 40hours to about 4hours. Then I separated all the clips into different categories, much like I do with my approach to editing my photos: scenics, action, lifestyles and interviews. I then narrowed down the footage in each category to end up with about 1 hour of footage that in my opinion consisted of the most beautiful imagery that was also the most pertinent to the story I was trying to push through.\n\nThe backbone of the story was constructed using audio voice overs and interviews. This was a very long process as well as I had to listen to hours of audio and basically pull the most important and pertinent points that told the story.\n\nI did this by transcribing every single phrase of audio I had (which turned into around 100 pages or so). From there I edited the audio in the text file by cutting and pasting sentences and later applied that to the actual audio tracks.\n\nOnce I had the audio backbone and the best clips, it was about 4  days and nights of intense editing. I actually happened to be back in the Arctic for the editing process which I found very conducive to an inspired approach to the post production. I was really impressed with the workflow in iMovie. It was efficient and simple and compared to editing on a steenbeck (16mm editing table) and splicing film with tape, it was a much simpler process. I definitely made sure to stay away from using too many effects and transitions in order to keep this close to what could have been achieved using more traditional methods. I find in the digital workflow, it’s really easy to say “I’ll fix this in Post” or to get carried away with all the options- which can end up ruining the result. I think with today’s incredible advances in technology, a mix of using the technology along with some self constraint can produce some really interesting and authentic results.\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nBuying a new website?\nMy new company, APhotoFolio.com builds portfolio websites for photographers.\nHave a look (here).\n","saved":"2009-10-15T05:08:03Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3ddcb8840071700f7189a7e4db8ef0da","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f02dc5f325a2/","kind":"page"},

But 2009 will be remembered as the year when it all took off, said Justin Smith, founder of Inside Network and co-author of the report.\n\nThat’s the finding of the Inside Virtual Goods report being released today by Inside Network and the Virtual Goods Summit. The 60-page study is one of the most thorough investigations to date into the scope of virtual goods, which include virtual gifts that people give to each other on Facebook as well as in-game weapons users buy with real money so they can inflict more damage on other players.\n\n“I don’t know anyone who expected it to grow this fast,” said Smith. “The Facebook platform went from zero to hundreds of millions of dollars in two and a half years. It reflects a broader shift in society where people are spending more time on casual games.”\n\nThe report is valuable because it’s been very hard to pin down any reliable numbers on what has become a fast-growing sector of the tech economy. Smith co-authored the report with Charles Hudson of the Virtual Goods Summit. Smith said in an interview that social networking games are the biggest category within the virtual goods sector and that Facebook leads the way with virtual goods revenues.\n\nFacebook itself is generating virtual goods revenue through the virtual gifts that people pay for, about $2 at a time, when they send gifts to their friends. But about 80 percent of the virtual goods revenue on Facebook is being generated by third-party application vendors, Smith said.\n\nThat’s why we’ve seen huge growth at Zynga, Playdom and Playfish — three social game companies that collectively should generate more than $300 million in virtual goods revenue this year. Zynga’s newest game, Cafe World, grew to more than 10 million users in just a week. Beyond the game publishers, there’s also a group of companies such as Offerpal, Zong, Boku, Peanut Labs, Adknowledge, Gambit and others who are thriving as they create systems for people to pay for virtual goods.\n\n“A lot of payments happen via PayPal, but others are making the system more frictionless,” said Smith.\n\nAs we noted in our story on South Korean virtual goods pioneer Nexon, virtual goods took off in Asia first, but many games that succeeded over there did not succeed in the U.S. because of different cultural tastes. Many game industry veterans have been skeptical that virtual goods models would take off in the U.S. But this report suggests they ignore virtual goods-based business models at their own peril. In many categories, startups are leading the way, not traditional game makers.\n\nThe report breaks down the use of virtual goods by types of games, regions, and demographics. Beyond social games on social networks, another growing category is virtual worlds and casual massively multiplayer online games. Hardcore MMOs such as Eve Online are also generating virtual goods revenues. Those games have more paying users, but the games are intimidating to more casual users. And there are emerging areas worth paying attention to, such as virtual goods in console games and iPhone games. With the launch of version 3.0 of the iPhone software, virtual goods trading on the mobile phone has more potential.\n\nOver time, platform holders such as Facebook might think about putting a tax on virtual goods. That is, they might collect a fee on all virtual goods transactions that take place on their platforms. But they better be careful. That would be messing with the goose that lays the golden egg.\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-10-15T05:05:12Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2dc08ca2bd2382769fc0052d7dc2d61a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9e322a8dc6f5/","kind":"page"},

At the time, it cost $199.95. They sell a digital display you can stick on a counter or bookshelf with the 5000-C model for $239.95, but I planned to use the web interface so didn’t see the need for that.\n\nIt showed up in around 2 days via FedEx, although they now appear to be backordered for 3-6 weeks due to high demand from the Google partnership. \n\nInstallation\nThere are a couple stages to the installation process. \n\n1. Install a set of clamps in your circuit breaker box. I wouldn’t recommend doing this if you’ve never worked with electricity before. Ask a friend for help. The most important tip I’ve heard for this step is to make sure the clamps are both facing the same direction in order to get accurate readings. Here is an excellent video explaining the install process:\n\n\n\n\n2. Hook up the gateway. The gateway is a cube that plugs into an AC outlet and your ethernet router. Information gathered by the clamps is transmitted to the gateway through the home’s power grid and stored in the gateway. \n\n3. Configure the software. T.E.D.’s software is called Footprints. It resides on the gateway and is accessed through a browser. For Windows computers, one can browser to http://TED5000 to access it. However, that address doesn’t resolve on a Mac, and whoever has ted5000.com is seeing a spike in traffic. Instead, you have to figure out the IP address of the gateway. This is undocumented, which led to some Googling, which led to this set of instructions, which didn’t happen to work for me but probably will for many of you. In my case, I ended up hooking up an old Dell, browsing to http://TED5000 to make sure I could see it, then running the following command line: ping TED5000\n\nWhich responded with the IP location of the gateway. That address allows me to see the web interface on a Mac (and iPhone).\n\nOnce found, the Footprints software asks for a few data points to improve its data. Utility costs and cost structures being the primary info, so have a power bill on hand. This will allow Footprints to calculate your real-time cost for energy.\n\n4. Browsing from iTouch.\n The Footprints website is iTouch and iPhone friendly, so you can view your energy dashboard and doubletap to zoom in on specific metrics. For example, here is my current current:\n\n\n\n\n5. Monitoring Changes.\n The immediate feedback provided by this software is fascinating. Flipping a light switch on/off is reflected on the meter in a few seconds. So far, I’ve noticed the impact of our clothes dryer (wouldn’t want to run that thing 24/7), refrigerator when it kicks into chill mode, running computers, the additional energy needed to watch YouTube videos, and the impact of charging cell phones (looks like around 8 cents/night for my Treo).\n\n6. Profiles.\n If you have appliances that you’re particularly interested in tracking, you can set up profiles for up to 5 in Footprints. To do this, you tell Footprints that you’re going to flip on something significant, then Footprints notes the power consumption profile of that appliance. This would allow you to break out the use pattern and energy costs associated with, say, an A/C unit. \n\n7. iGoogle Integration.\n The whole point of the Google partnership, as I understand it, is to be able to push this data to Google for additional uses. This includes viewing on iGoogle, but I think the larger benefit could be trending and benchmarking reports based on shared energy data. I haven’t figured out how to do this yet. Drop a link in the comments if you happen to know a good source of information for this. Google’s documentation on this is sending me in circles. The model I purchased didn’t have the Google PowerMeter firmware installed when shipped. I downloaded that, updated the device, then went to Edit > Activate Google Powermeter. Google asks for a zip code (or other location data) which they’ll likely use to look for energy consumption patterns.\n\n\n\n\nApparently, my 3 bedroom house is consuming energy at levels comparable to a 1 bedroom apartment. That won’t likely be sustainable. \n\nThis is the first time in my life that I’ve had even the slightest understanding of how my home uses energy. It’s a very cool thing. \n\nBy the way, some utilities around the country are installing power meters and providing web interfaces where utility customers can see how  their energy consumption compares to others in their community. That seems like a great way to educate consumers about what they could be doing to painlessly save energy in their homes. Will Xcel Energy do this?\n\n\n\n   \n","saved":"2009-10-13T22:43:04Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"867069cf3cc18caefde6f3c27dd455b7","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/57aa7680d3b7/","kind":"page"},

The Microsoft subsidiary announced Saturday it’s likely losses will not be recovered. So even if you don’t own a Sidekick yourself, don’t be surprised when multiple new groups asking for your contact information crop up on Facebook this week.\n\nIn a letter to it’s customers, T-Mobile wrote:\n\nBased on Microsoft/Danger’s latest recovery assessment of their systems, we must now inform you that personal information stored on your device - such as contacts, calendar entries, to-do lists or photos - that is no longer on your Sidekick almost certainly has been lost as a result of a server failure at Microsoft/Danger. That said, our teams continue to work around-the-clock in hopes of discovering some way to recover this information.\n\nThe number of Sidekick users who have been affected has not been released, but Twitter and user support forums are abuzz with stories from those who have lost valuable data. Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, who lost his contacts on his Sidekick, has been especially vocal on Twitter, starting the hash #tmobilesucks and sending out tweets calling for class-action lawsuit by T-Mobile customers.\n\nFor now, T-Mobile has halted all sales of the Sidekick. The permanent impact that the massive failure will have on T-Mobile and Danger is unknown, but web chatter suggests many customers will not be going back to the Sidekick.\n\nThe Sidekick was one of the first mobile devices to provide online backup of data - these help to protect the customer in case they lose or damage their smart phone. Many other companies have followed suit by backing up information to the cloud. This crash and resulting loss of data will hopefully be a reminder to other companies to have reliable data backups.\n\nSidekick users have been advised by T-Mobile to not remove the batteries or let the batteries die, because of the risk that additional information could be lost.\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-10-12T20:44:37Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e8ddb1bf4008996331d3d9b47fa93c24","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/235313b287e9/","kind":"page"},

But for the rest of us, how do we help marketers, business owners, and webmasters have confidence in their data? Analytics is all about clarity. It should help you see actionable statistics clearly and quickly. However, when you have a website structure with multiple domains and subdomains - which is often the case - sometimes things can get jumbled. For instance, you are a CMO or a Director of Marketing at the enterprise and you are responsible for the performance and ROI of a large number of web proprieties. You look at your analytics reports and you can't find your ecommerce data from site A, site B is referring traffic to itself (definitely not a good thing!), and conversion data from your marketing campaign microsite is no where to be found.This image sums up the feeling.No need to panic. This post aims to offer an approach to help you plan your Google Analytics accounts setup in a structured fashion to help with clarity. I hope that by following the approach and the technical steps, you will be able to collect and manage all your data, make more sense of it, and most importantly, ensure what you are reporting on, trending, dashboarding and analyzing is based on accurate data.There are two distinct sections of this post:\nThe Strategy (non-technical)The How (technical)The StrategyThere are many ways to structure your Google Analytics profiles when you have multiple domains and subdomains. But in this post I will limit myself to the one that I like the most and I believe is the least confusing.Before I go into details of the solution, and for simplification, let us assume we are dealing with a project that has the following requirements:A business with 3 domains (www.a.com, www.b.com, and www.c.com)1 domain (a.com) links to a 3rd party shopping cart (www.mystore.com)2 domains (a.com and b.com) have multiple sub-domainsHere is a graphical representation of the structure:Measurement RequirementsTrack each domain and sub-domain separately (e.g. www.a.com, news.a.com, and blog.b.com)Track the rollup/overall traffic for all domains and sub-domainsTrack full e-commerce transactionsSolutionCreate a Google Analytics account for each domain (www.a.com, www.b.com, and www.c.com)Customize the tracking code to link the multiple sub-domains with their main domainsLink the third party shopping cart with the main domain and install Google Analytics tracking code in all shopping pagesCreate a rollup Google Analytics account and add its code to all domains and sub-domainsGraphical example of a well-planned Analytics Account Structure:Now on to the technical stuff.  If you don't enjoy javascript and regular expressions, you may stop here and ask your webmaster or technical analyst to read further :-)\n\nThe How:I will try to illustrate the technical implementation in 10 simple steps:1- Create a unique Google Analytics account for each domain www.a.com, www.b.com, and www.c.com and then use the account number UA-AAAAAAAA-1 in the code in step 3 and use the accounts UA-BBBBBBBB-1 for www.b.com and UA-CCCCCCCC-1 for www.c.com in the code in step 8.\n2- Create a Google Analytics account for the a rollup account that will oversee all domains and sub-domains (use the GA account number UA-XXXXXXXX-1 in the code used in step 3 and 8)\n3- Add the following Google Analytics tracking code to the main site (www.a.com) and its sub-domains (blog.a.com, news.a.com, images.a.com, and media.a.com)\nAbout the following code: We have a regular pageTracker object to track activity on each particular subdomain and a rollupTracker to track activity across all subdomains and the third party checkout site. (Click here to learn more about the customizations we made to the standard Google Analytics tracking code)\n <script type=\"text/javascript\">var gaJsHost = ((\"https:\" == document.location.protocol) ? \"https://ssl.\" : \"http://www.\");document.write(unescape(\"%3Cscript src='\" + gaJsHost + \"google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E\"));</script><script type=\"text/javascript\">try {var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(\"UA-AAAAAAAA-1\");pageTracker._setAllowHash(false);pageTracker._setDomainName(\".a.com\");pageTracker._setAllowLinker(true);pageTracker._trackPageview();var rollupTracker = _gat._getTracker(\"UA-XXXXXXXX-1\");rollupTracker._setAllowHash(false);rollupTracker._setDomainName(\".a.com\");rollupTracker._setAllowLinker(true);rollupTracker._trackPageview();}catch(err) {}</script>\n4- Enable E-Commerce Reporting\n\n\nAnalytics Settings > Profile Settings > Edit Profile Information\n5- Add the following code* to all shopping cart pages on the store site (www.mystore.com)*Make sure to add this code to the top of the pages.\n<script type=\"text/javascript\">var gaJsHost = ((\"https:\" == document.location.protocol) ? \"https://ssl.\" : \"http://www.\");document.write(unescape(\"%3Cscript src='\" + gaJsHost + \"google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E\"));</script><script type=\"text/javascript\">try {var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(\"UA-AAAAAAAA-1\");pageTracker._setDomainName(\"none\");pageTracker._setAllowLinker(true);pageTracker._trackPageview();var rollupTracker = _gat._getTracker(\"UA-XXXXXXXX-1\");rollupTracker._setDomainName(\"none\");rollupTracker._setAllowLinker(true);rollupTracker._trackPageview();}catch(err) {}</script>\n6- Add the e-commerce tracking code to the confirmation page after the GATC.\nRead more about \"How to track e-commerce transactions?\"\n7- Change the links to the store site (www.mystore.com) on the main site (www.a.com) to use _link as following:\nIf the current link looks like:\n<a href=\"https://www.mystore.com\">Buy Now</a>\nChange it to:\n<a href=\"https://www.mystore.com\" onclick=\"pageTracker._link(this.href); return false;\">Buy Now</a>\n8- Repeat step number 3 for domains www.b.com and www.c.com after updating the Google Analytics account number UA-AAAAAAAA-1 and the setDomainName value.\nTo view the entire code for www.b.com and its sub-domains (click here)To view the entire code for www.c.com (click here)9- Create a profile for each sub-domain (only if needed)\nIn order to track a sub-domain (ex. blog.b.com) in its own profile, follow the following three steps:\na- Create a filter that include only traffic from Hostname=blog.b.comb- Create a profile and name it \"Blog\"\nc- Apply the sub-domain filter to the new profile10- As you might have noticed from the codes that we added so far to all pages, we added an extra Google Analytics account to track all pageviews across domains and sub-domains to one Google Analytics account. We call this account “rollup account”.\nvar rollupTracker = _gat._getTracker(\"UA-XXXXXXXX-1\");rollupTracker._trackPageview();\nSince in the rollup account, we will track pages from different sites and many of these pages might share the same naming convention, I suggest that you create an advanced filter that adds the hostname to the page name to differentiate between pages with same URI.\n\nOnce you apply the filter, the upcoming data will appear as following:\nNote, in the example above if we didn’t apply the “Add Hostnames” filter, all home.aspx pages will appear as one page with 2685 pageviews.If you have been with us so far, you are now ready to conduct your analysis based on clean and much more accurate data :)To review each domain by itself and for deep-dive analysis, use the domain profilesTo get an overview and to see how the business is doing across all sites, use the “Rollup Account”Related Posts\nGoogle Analytics - Accounts and ProfilesAccount Rollup in Google AnalyticsGoogle Analytics for the EnterprisePosted by Allaedin Ezzeidin, Analytics Specialist @ E-Nor, a Google Analytics Authorized Consultant\n\n","saved":"2009-09-30T04:30:27Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"1c880f5f107e96dedd821f21953e8ad3","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8ecfe64a9e71/","kind":"page"},

If you couldn't guess, I totally agree with him, having been pushing out a lot of iPhone photography myself. Well, now he's gone and pushed up the game by collaboration with some software devs and putting together both a new iPhone photo processing application and social website.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe application is definitely nice. It features several push button filters that give great looks. And, in a twist, the filter sets work as a stack and you can reorder them on the fly if you want. Once you've got the photo you want, the app manages pushing it to Twitter, the Best Camera website, and Facebook for you. One of the neat features about the Best Camera website is that you can see what filters photographer applied to the photograph.\n\n\n\n\n\nFor a 1.0 app, it's got a high amount of fit and finish. The only functional thing I've seen that you need to be careful of is the maximum size you process images at. Working with full size images really drags things down. It's better to stick to 800x800 or so. I'm just about to dart off a suggestion list to Chase for the next version (including *cough* metadata handling), but you can bet I'll be using Best Camera a lot.\n\n\nRead more about it on Chase's blog entry about the Best Camera.\n","saved":"2009-09-22T22:13:56Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"c33346429ebb672ef689a63f4faee108","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/091081bf3066/","kind":"page"},

He put out the call on Twitter and in a matter of minutes, the number of slots available filled up. After all, people up in Seattle know what these things are all about. Photography. Trying new things out. Pushing oneself. The chance to play with gear that you've never worked with before. And, lets not forget the ever-important camaraderie over drinks afterword.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe venue for the event was an indoor skatepark. This gave everyone a chance to work with athletes doing their thing with strobes to freeze motion. For most of the people there, it was their first chance to really see what was possible when you combine high-power high-speed strobes with action. Strobes that can keep up with cameras motoring along at 8+ frames per second. I dove in and shot as well, but mostly I hung out with several of the attendees and we talked about how to set up shots, pick and angle, and nail a shot. I watched some kick ass pictures come up on many a digital SLR back.\n\n\n\n\n\nSo far, I've been lucky enough to trek up to Seattle for two of Chase's events. He's done a few more over the years and from what I hear, they've all been awesome. So far, I've not seen anything else like it anywhere else in the country and that's a shame.\n\n\nTo be sure, part of the secret sauce is that Chase has been super generous with his time, access, and staff. He's also got a kick ass studio to retreat to after the shooting ends to party it up in. But, really, I think this sort of thing should be possible to do anywhere. All it needs is somebodyor a few peopleto get together and sort out how they want to reach out to photographers in their area. It could be anywhere. New York. Albuquerque. Kansas City. Sacramento. Anywhere.","saved":"2009-09-22T05:06:27Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"9eb16f40a5dd1d112ec5d6ac9eefc11d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1514bf244f4a/","kind":"page"},

According to TechCrunch, the company has raised a $50 million dollar funding round and the money will be in the bank shortly. Given the fact that Twitter turned down an offer to be purchased by Facebook earlier in the year, it appears the two are about to tango.\n\nSponsor\n\n\nYesterday Facebook announced reaching the 300 million user mark. The company's success has been credited to its ability to transform from a basic life streaming service into a platform. After Twitter rejected the company's acquisition offer, it was no coincidence that real time updates, friend following and improved activity streams were incorporated into Facebook's redesign. This new round of funding suggests that Twitter is taking a page out of the Facebook playbook and attempting to increase its abilities as a platform. \n\n\n\n\n\nIn the past, ReadWriteWeb has looked at Twitter's platform potential. The service has already been used to create meme trackers, emergency alert services, news feeds and brand monitoring tools. As the infrastructure and search have improved, Twitter has become the go-to site for real time media. But can the company make a Facebook-like leap? \n\n\nIn late May, Facebook had a valuation of $10 billion dollars based on a $200 million investment from Digital Sky Technologies. And like Twitter, while we've seen huge traffic numbers, Facebook only yesterday announced becoming cash-flow positive. If Twitter is attempting to become the \"pulse of the planet\" as suggested by the widely criticized leak of the company's internal documents, then perhaps $1 billion dollars isn't entirely off. Does Twitter have the assets to warrant such a high valuation, or are we looking at the makings of a speculative investment disaster? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. \n\nDiscuss","saved":"2009-09-17T02:54:12Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"71491c26ec9358cd088400df22d35bfb","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4a4beb42cda5/","kind":"page"},

PubSubHubbub: Why The Fat Pings Win","note":"\n\nEditor’s note: With all of the debate lately between RSSCloud versus PubSubHubbub, we wanted to hear from a developer who could actually tell us which one might be better and why. The following guest post is written by Josh Fraser, the co-founder of EventVue, who is an active contributor to PubSubHubbub in his free time.  He has contributed several client libraries for PubSubHubbub including a WordPress plugin.  Guess which side of the debate he falls on.\n\nIn the past few months, a lot of attention has been given to the rise of the real-time web.  The problem is that the web wasn’t designed with real-time in mind.  There is a huge need for the tech community to get behind new protocols that will power this fundamental shift in how web applications work.  Today I want to take a look at two of the leading protocols that enable real-time notifications on the web.  While there are older protocols that enable real-time notifications like XEP-0060, PubSubHubbub (PuSH) and rssCloud are two new protocols which show a lot of promise of gaining adoption.\n\nBoth PuSH and rssCloud address a fundamental flaw in the way web applications work today.  Currently, getting updates on the web requires constant polling.  Subscribers are forced to act like nagging children asking, “Are we there yet?”  Subscribers must constantly ping the publisher to ask if there are new updates even if the answer is “no” 99% of the time.  This is terribly inefficient, wastes resources, and makes it incredibly hard to find new content in as soon as it appears.  Both protocols flip the current model on its head so that updates are event driven rather than request driven.  By that I mean that both protocols eliminate the need for polling by essentially telling subscribers, “Don’t ask us if there’s anything new.  We’ll tell you.”\n\nDave Winer deserves the credit for coming up with the idea long before anyone else.  In fact, the <cloud> element was added to the RSS 2.0 specification in 2001, but has only recently been revived (largely in response to the interest in PuSH).  rssCloud made major progress this week with the announcement that WordPress was adding rssCloud support for all 7.5 million blogs on WordPress.com. In contrast, PuSH is currently enabled for well over 100 million feeds with adopters including Friendfeed, Blogger, Google Reader, LiveJournal, Google Alerts and FeedBurner. I expect to see many more services adopt these new protocols soon.\n\nBut if you find yourself confused about how they are different, you’re not alone.\n\nConceptually, both protocols are very similar.   Both add a simple declaration to a feed that tells a subscriber which hub/cloud has been delegated the responsibility of handling subscriptions.  Both protocols have a centralized hub that notifies subscribers when new content is published.  Both protocols are HTTP based.\n\nThe subtle differences in implementation are important to understand, however.  And in my opinion, PuSH is the better protocol for now.  There are basically three things that make PuSH a more robust protocol:\n\nFirst, PuSH doesn’t just tell you that something changed, it actually sends you the new content (also known as a “fat ping.”) This is an important feature that is missing from rssCloud.  Not only do fat pings make integration simpler for subscribers, they also eliminate the danger of inadvertent denial of service attacks as thousands of subscribers respond to the ping notification and request the updated feed at exactly the same time.  This problem is well known in computer science and is often referred to as “the thundering herd problem.”  While this would be relatively simple to fix in rssCloud, it has yet to be addressed.\n\nSecond, PuSH allows variable callbacks (custom URL’s for where the notification is sent) which rssCloud does not.  The rssCloud specification states “Notifications are sent to the IP address the request came from. You can not request notification on behalf of another server.”  This is highly limiting since you cannot separate the servers which are handling subscriptions from the servers which are receiving the ping notifications.\n\nThird, PuSH has a more friendly policy for handling unsubscribes.  In rssCloud, every feed is automatically unsubscribed after 25 hours.  In PuSH, there is an explicit unsubscribe function with the option to automatically unsubscribe after a given amount of time.  Again, this small detail matters a lot when you’re operating at scale.  With rssCloud, RSS readers will be responsible for resubscribing millions of feeds every night – which is far less efficient than sending subscribe/unsubscribe requests only when something changes.\n\nThis isn’t to say that there aren’t benefits to rssCloud.  It is far easier to implement an RSS cloud than it is to implement a PuSH hub.  By design, PuSH hubs are not simple to implement.\n\nThere are other small differences, but these are the issues that matter most.  Everything else boils down to semantics.\n\nI want to address a couple of misconceptions that are floating around about both protocols.  For example, many people think that rssCloud is simply about building a distributed alternative to Twitter.  This is largely due to Dave Winer’s stated goal for rssCloud to create “a loosely-coupled Twitter-like network of people and 140-character status messages.”  While that is certainly an interesting use-case, it promotes a very narrow view of the protocol and what it enables.  I think rssCloud has far more potential than Dave gives it credit for.\n\nThe biggest misconception about PuSH is that it is somehow owned and controlled by Google.  This simply isn’t true.  Not only are there plenty of independent developers like me working on PuSH, there are also other PuSH hubs like SuperFeedr which aren’t controlled by Google.  Brett Slatkin points out:\n\nOur spec development process is completely transparent. You can see every code check-in since August 5th 2008. All discussion is on the public mailing list (there is no Google-internal one). The whole point of this spec is to be open, decentralized, and not in control of any company.\n\nOverall, I believe that both PubSubHubbub and rssCloud represent a huge step forward for the web. While I personally believe that PuSH is a better choice, competition is always good and will make both protocols stronger.\n\n(Photo credit: Flickr/Libertinus)\nCrunch Network:  MobileCrunch Mobile Gadgets and Applications, Delivered Daily.\n\nTechCrunch50 Conference 2009: September 14-15, 2009, San Francisco\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n\n","saved":"2009-09-10T11:49:02Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"36fcb3ac8fd2569b8fee49b9faf32ab7","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a411c5d4dda4/","kind":"page"},

I’ve certainly been responsible for my share of cringeworthy mistakes. Automattic, the company that created the WordPress blogging platform (which powers VentureBeat and many other sites), is taking steps to improve that with the just-announced acquistion of a spell-checking startup called After the Deadline.\n\nAfter the Deadline founder Raphael Mudge writes that his goal in developing the technology was to “bring word processor quality proofreading tools to the Internet.” It’s supposed to be particularly good at flagging spelling and grammar mistakes, as well as other issues with word use (such as inflammatory language) because it’s sensitive to context. And it does all of that as you’re writing, rather than as a separate process at the end.\n\nNow that San Francisco-based Automattic has acquired After the Deadline (for an undisclosed sum), the spellchecker is now live as a feature for blogs hosted at WordPress.com, and is available as a plug-in for WordPress blogs that are hosted elsewhere. Here’s why Automattic co-founder Matt Mullenwegsays he was impressed:\n\nWhen I first tried After the Deadline I was blown away; it was so much better than other checkers I’d used, and it was by one guy building this thing that solves a problem other folks have teams of PhDs trying to solve. I reached out to Raphael (the one guy) to see how we could get this technology in front of WordPress users and ended up doing a deal for Automattic to buy his entire company. The other cool thing about this new technology is that it’s getting better every day — Raphael is constantly adding new rules and heuristics, and the technology is learning from millions of blog posts on WP.com to make the contextual parts of the checker smarter and smarter.\n\nThis probably didn’t cost Automattic too much money — Mullenweg and Mudge both makes this sound like a single hire, plus the acquisition of the technology, of course. Mudge’s posts also outlines a number of near-miss attempts to join incubators or raise funding, so there aren’t investors who need to be paid off either.\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-09-09T04:08:25Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"8e6885798ee07647a89d9d295925a15c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/70887c1ba993/","kind":"page"},

In this case, Google Voice actually calls your phone and the recipient's phone and then connects the two calls together. You can also send SMS messages to one or more phone numbers via Google Voice for free.\n \n \nYou can also just dial any phone number directly by choosing Call from the Phone Amego menubar item and typing the number in a pop-up window. Or, if you see a phone number in an email message or Web page, you can select it, Control-click the selection, and choose Dial with Phone Amego from the contextual menu that appears (or just press Command-Shift-D). This is implemented as a service in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard; if it's not on by default, check the Services list in the Keyboard preference pane's Keyboard Shortcuts view.\n \n \nA single screen of preferences lets you configure a few basic options, plus set some scripts that run when calls come in, when you answer them, and when they end. Included scripts can pause iTunes (I use that on incoming calls) and set your iChat status (I've tweaked that to set it to \"On the phone\" for call answer, and to \"Working\" for call end).\n \n \n \n \nMy only problem with Phone Amego came when the Bluetooth pairing between my Mac and my iPhone became confused, preventing any communication between the two; I deleted the pairing and set it back up again, and Phone Amego started to work properly again.\n \n \nSustainable Softworks has brief FAQ entries on how Phone Amego compares with other phone-related programs, including ApiMac CallerID, BluePhoneElite 2, and Dialectic (for more on Dialectic, see Matt Neuburg's review in \"Dialectic Simplifies Dialing Any Type of Phone,\" 2008-04-10). I haven't tried those programs, so I can't comment on them, other than I note that ApiMac CallerID says it doesn't work with the iPhone, whereas the other two do offer iPhone compatibility.\n \n \nPhone Amego 1.0 costs $20 and is a 913 KB download. You can try it for 21 days for free, so if you have either an iPhone or a Bluetooth-savvy mobile phone and want to make it easier to use from your Mac, it's worth giving Phone Amego a try.\n \n \n\n \nRead and post comments about this article | Tweet this article\n\nVMware Fusion.

Not only can you view and RSVP to events, but the Like function is now available. Still, we hope the next version will let us create an event and invite friends directly from our iPhones.\n\nBut one of the best new features is the ability to send texts and call your Facebook friends directly from the app, a functionality thats been in the works for awhile. Not only is the address book integration handy, but it brings Facebook closer to mirroring real-world relationships, just as Liz predicted it would more than a year ago.\n\nWhile iPhone users can now create and upload photos directly to the app, the time it takes to thumb through friends photo albums was still a bit long because it took a few seconds for the photos to load each time.\n\nOverall, the less-cluttered user interface makes it easier to quickly navigate around the app. Though its still missing some functions, this app is a notable improvement from the previous version.

{"id":"3910e50e9e31","hash":"3910e50e9e3135ef24e2986dd478bf15","url":"http://tidbits.com/article/10509","title":"Peering Inside Snow Leopard Security","note":"From the beginning, Apple made it clear that Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard was focused on improving the performance of the operating system and providing developers with new tools for harnessing the power of modern hardware and multiprocessor systems. The included security updates are no different, and for the most part are completely invisible to the user. \n \n \nThese updates provide new tools to assist programmers in producing more secure applications and harden the core operation system, which result in a safer computing experience for most Mac users, even if they aren't overly noticeable.\n \n \nDespite these improvements, Apple missed a major opportunity to include a key operating system feature that could nearly wipe-out a entire category of attack.\n \n \nSecuring Memory and the Power of 64-Bit Security -- The changes I describe here are fairly subtle and technical, so those of you who don't care about things like stack vs. heap memory might want to skip to the next section.\n \n \nThe most significant single improvement is that the operating system has now been compiled with stack memory protection by default. Essentially, this places what's known as \"canaries\" in stack memory; fixed values in fixed locations that are pushed around if an attacker uses a buffer overflow attack, allowing the operating system or program to detect the attack. \n \n \n(Buffer overflows happen when input values to a program - something as simple as a URL entered in the Location field of a browser - is larger than the expected set of data. The data that overflows can be used to crash software or a system, or gain privileged access.)\n \n \nThis makes an entire class of buffer overflow attacks much more difficult to exploit, even when a software vulnerability is present. Developers will need to enable this for their own applications, but by default, Apple uses this feature everywhere it can to limit attacks.\n \n \nA second kind of gestalt upgrade is the migration to 64-bit applications and components throughout Snow Leopard. While this is touted as a boost in speed, the Intel architecture offers substantial hardware security capabilities that generally aren't available in 32-bit environments. (While Snow Leopard includes both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels, only the Xserve boots into a 64-bit kernel, Gizmodo reports. Security features are available to programs in 64-bit mode even when the kernel is not.)\n \n \nWherever possible, Apple appears to try and use these technologies for Snow Leopard on 32-bit systems, but most of the real security advantages are only possible when running 64-bit software on 64-bit hardware.\n \n \nOne of the key areas in which this prevents trouble is in the heap memory, where Apple uses a combination of technologies: one leverages 64-bit hardware, while the others are software enhancements. (The heap is a pool of free memory that applications can dynamically use on a temporary basis, as opposed to the more-structured and static stack memory.)\n \n \nWhen programming an application, heap memory locations that should only accept data can be marked as non-executable, and this will be enforced by the 64-bit processor (similar hardware protection has been used since Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger for stack memory on 32-bit processors). This, again, increases the difficulty of heap-based memory exploits, which are a common form of attack.\n \n \nApple further hardened the heap through use of stronger heap checksums to detect when someone has tried to modify a portion of memory. This is combined with a related feature that will terminate processes if it detects double null bytes where they shouldn't be. This combination doesn't eliminate all heap based memory attacks, but makes the life of the attacker much more difficult.\n \n \nA final advantage of the move to 64-bit code is that applications now move data around more securely, skipping the stack completely. Function arguments are passed via registers, which, again, severely complicates the life of an attacker trying to attack your Mac using memory corruption techniques.\n \n \nSandboxing and Safari Enhancements -- Sandboxing is the process of restricting what kinds of activities an application can perform. For example, you can sandbox an application so it can read files, but not write them, or restrict it from ever accessing the network. It's a great way to limit the damage if an attacker exploits an application on your Mac, since they'll be stuck in the sandbox.\n \n \nApple provides sandboxing services that any developer can use, and has slowly been increasing the number of Apple applications that implement sandboxing through software updates. Apple continued this trend with Snow Leopard, sandboxing a number of new applications and features. One example is the x264  codec for handling H.264 video, which will make it harder for attackers to build malicious video files designed to corrupt your video player and allow them to exploit your Mac (a not-uncommon attack vector).\n \n \nThere's been discussion over increased sandboxing in Safari, but that's not quite how Apple improved browser security and stability. Instead of trying to sandbox browser plugins within Safari, Snow Leopard now runs them as separate processes. That way if a plugin crashes, it doesn't crash your entire browser.\n \n \nThis improves security better than just increasing sandboxing, because Safari includes support for a legacy requirement that allows the use of a somewhat less-secure version of a common programming function called malloc that's important for memory management. These plugins now run using the more secure version of malloc used by the rest of Snow Leopard. As separate processes developers potentially have more opportunities to add sandboxing to their plugins. \n \n \nSome WebKit-based plugins still run within the main Safari process, but most of the major plugins have migrated to this new architecture, improving security and stability.\n \n \nA New Firewall Setting -- With Leopard, Apple introduced a new firewall capable of restricting inbound access to specific applications, not just network ports and protocols (see \"Leopard Firewall Takes One Step Forward, Three Steps Back,\" 2007-11-05). In Snow Leopard, Apple implemented a minor default usability change some users will want to disable. \n \n \nYou can find the settings in the Security system preference pane in the Firewall view. The main view now has just a Start or Stop button in it. If you click the Advanced button, the settings are nearly identical to those in Leopard - but with one minor change: a new checkbox that allows signed software to receive incoming connections automatically.\n \n \nThis setting allows applications signed by a valid certificate authority - the same authorities that sign Web pages for secure SSL/TLS sessions - to receive incoming connections with no additional steps. Previously, you would have had to add the application or approve a firewall exception when Leopard noted the application trying to set up the incoming connection.\n \n \nThis bypass was likely included to reduce the number of dialog boxes users need to click when installing software from known companies. Don't worry: even if a program is allowed by default you can still manually change the setting to block access.\n \n \nUsers who want more control over their security should disable this setting since anyone willing to pay the money can purchase a code signing certificate. Just because a program is signed doesn't necessarily mean you want it to accept incoming connections.\n \n \nNew Malicious Software Protection -- Back in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, Apple introduced a new File Quarantine feature. Enhanced again in Leopard, you receive a warning the first time you run any file that was downloaded using common Internet programs like Mail, Safari, and iChat. \n \n \nIn Snow Leopard, File Quarantine now checks these programs to see if they contain certain malicious software, which is sometimes hidden in downloads to trick users into installing them. If the file is infected, you'll see a new warning that explicitly warns you the file is dangerous.\n \n \nRight now, according to reports on the Internetthe feature only checks for two known types of malicious software. Apple has stated that additional checks can be added using the normal Software Update program if ever needed.\n \n \nThis doesn't mean that Apple has added antivirus software to your Mac. Using File Quarantine will protect you from running a limited number of infected files you download using standard programs, but won't catch other malicious files, such as one transferred off a USB drive. The feature also won't necessarily protect you if an attacker exploits your Mac, such as through a web browser vulnerability, and then uses that toehold to install additional malicious software. And it can't remove the infection from compromised files.\n \n \nThe initial version offers Apple a great capability to quickly push out protection to users in case a larger infection starts to propagate. (For detailed information on how the enhanced File Quarantine feature works, we recommend Dan Moren's excellent article at Macworld.\n \n \nA Missed Opportunity -- One major disappointment in the midst of all these security enhancements is that Apple did not improve the Library Randomization feature introduced in Leopard. Known as ASLR, and found in Windows Vista and Windows 7, it's a powerful operating system security technology that nearly wipes out the memory-based attacks we've spent so much time talking about. \n \n \nLibrary Randomization and ASLR pick different memory locations for key operating system components each time the system starts up. Even if an attacker exploits a vulnerability on your system, it is nearly impossible for them to tie into the operating system and actually do anything malicious (or otherwise) because they can't rely on where the hook can be found.\n \n \nLibrary Randomization in Leopard and Snow Leopard does shift around some important pieces of the operating system, but leaves the memory location of one key component static across all Macs (dyld_ the dynamic loader). With dyld in place, an attacker has a roadmap to continue their exploitation and potentially take over your system.\n \n \nRandomizing the location of dyld is no small task, but Apple had a perfect opportunity to make the change with Snow Leopard since so many other important parts of the operating system were being updated. Combined with the 64-bit enhancements, it would make memory exploitation of any type extremely difficult and provide years of worry-free Mac computing.\n \n \nContinually Improving Security -- Snow Leopard also includes a few other small changes. Users concerned with privacy can disable location services in the Security preference pane (in the General view, check Disable Location Services). As on the iPhone and iPod touch, Location services allow your current coordinates - derived via Wi-Fi signals as well as future compatible GPS hardware - to be used by system components and third-party software. Date & Time, for instance, now uses Wi-Fi signal snapshots to set your time zone automatically.\n \n \nApple also increasingly phased out the use of the setuid function in the operating system, which reduces security by running processes under administrative or other user accounts.\n \n \nIt's important to remember that Apple has been slowly enhancing security, sometimes with major enhancements, through Software Update long before the release of Snow Leopard. Sandboxing, increased stack memory protection, reducing use of setuid, adding anti-phishing to Safari, and a series of other changes have found their way onto our Macs outside of major operating system version updates.\n \n \nOverall, Snow Leopard is a more-secure operating system than Leopard itself, although Mac users on 32-bit processors won't see all the same benefits.\n \n \nStill, I am extremely disappointed that Apple failed to complete Library Randomization. Microsoft has experienced significant real-world security benefits with their adoption of ASLR, and had Apple taken this step they would have practically eliminated memory-based attacks like buffer overflows.\n \n \nAlthough most of the security enhancements in Snow Leopard are hidden deep within the operating system, they should provide practical benefits to all Mac users on 64-bit architectures. While the only true test of security is how effective it is in the real world, on paper it looks like life is now at least a little harder for any potential Mac attackers.\n\n \nRead and post comments about this article | Tweet this article\n\nFetch Softworks: Fetch 5.5 makes FTP and SFTP easy!Upload, download, mirror, and manage your Web site.

We post daily product coverage and news, and feature bite-sized articles on events, destinations, and services geared toward parents and kids.\n\n\nI had the idea for Playgrounder about two years ago when my son was born. I couldn’t find a good resource for the kind of high-quality, interesting, and unique items we were looking for. So I started building a list, and anytime I’d find something really great, I’d add it. Looking over this list a year later, I knew I was onto something, and the timing seemed right.\n\n\nI knew I couldn’t launch a site like this completely on my own. So I turned to my friend Larry Angell, founder of Uncrate, for advice. “I want to do Uncrate for kids,” I told him. It was no surprise that he’d had a similar idea as well, but didn’t have the time or resources to devote to it. So Larry signed on as my chief advisor, and shared with me the list he’d been working on — hundreds of amazing kids-related products he’d found while scouring the web for Uncrate items.\n\n\nI spent several weeks analyzing the things that were great about my other favorite product blogs. Using this research, along with advice from Larry’s years of experience running Uncrate, I created a blueprint for Playgrounder that would pair big, fun, clear images, with light, witty writing. My friend Tom Carmony of Bainbridge Studios did an amazing job of bringing my rough sketches and detailed requirements to life. He nailed it.\n\n\nMy team at Secret Space Agency and I write each post ourselves — there’s no scraping of sites or quoting product descriptions, and each image you see is edited carefully by hand. It’s a slower process to be sure, but it’s in step with my overall goal of creating and discovering quality, so the details really count.\n\n\nI’ve tried to create many ways you can explore Playgrounder to find what you’re looking for: read it like a blog, explore categories, view items by their recommended age group, search for products, and more. And of course you can subscribe to the RSS feed and follow us on Twitter and Facebook.\n\n\nI hope you enjoy exploring the site as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it.\n","saved":"2009-08-28T00:37:47Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7ffbf093c3d83e31416243b99f31e7e0","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/70dfec4109fc/","kind":"page"},

The DJ was using a slogan that had me smiling each time I heard it; \"In Ely, where every car has a canoe on top, every woman has a dog, and every man has a past.\"  Too dang funny!

He thinks, for instance, that Korea offers more lessons for the future of games than Japan, that game developers have to move beyond targeting hardcore gamers, and that the democratization of gaming through the iPhone will ultimately be a good thing for the video game industry.\n\nIn a speech at the Hot Chips conference at Stanford, Hilleman talked about the changes he has seen in more than 25 years at EA, which he joined as employee No. 39 in 1983. The audience is moving beyond males. The platforms are becoming mobile, social and online-connected. And the play style is moving from hardcore to casual. The business models are in flux as well.\n\nHilleman, who once worked at the Nevada nuclear weapons test range, got a job copying disks and packaging games at EA. He quickly shifted into making games and oversaw the development of the first EA Sports games, such as Madden football and NHL Hockey. EA Sports is now a multibillion dollar franchise and it now includes “anything that EA can market on ESPN.” Last year, he became chief creative officer, replacing Bing Gordon, who left to join Kleiner Perkins.\n\nEA now typically spends two or three times as much on marketing and advertising as it does on developing a game. That’s because advertising is critical to getting a game in the top ten rankings. If you have a $10 million game, don’t be surprised if the the TV advertising costs drive the ad budget to $30 million. If a $60 game yields revenue of $35 for EA, then (according to my math) the company has to sell 1.1 million copies just to break even.\n\nEA grew to 9,500 employees and $4 billion in annual sales by coming up with franchise after franchise that appealed to hardcore gamers and occasionally captured the interests of broader gamers.  On EA’s The Godfather game, launched in 2006, there were 475 names on the game’s credits. Rising costs and some poor reception to new games has hurt EA, but it is showing signs of a turnaround with its latest results.\n\nNow the casual and social gamers vastly outnumber the hardcore, which has been fixed at around 50 million players worldwide. The hardcore are the ones who spend 20 hours or more a week on games and who are fans of professional game players who compete for prizes and money.\n\nEA tapped the casual game market in a variety of ways. It acquired Pogocom, which has 2 million subscribers who pay a monthly subscription fee to play online parlor games or Bejeweled. But the casual market has spread in a variety of ways to web-based widgets, set-top box games, prize game sites, downloadable games, Adobe Flash-based games, and free-to-play online games such as Maplestory, which has 92 million registered users.\n\nEA has about 25 percent share of the traditional packaged goods PC game market, where sales have been flat or declining. Piracy and sales of used games have taken their toll. The latter means that game sales have no long tail; most sales happen in the first three to six weeks; thereafter, used game sales where publishers get no percentage of the cut take over. Burnout Paradise has twice as many users as it has games sold, a fact that is explained by the sales of used games and by game piracy.\n\nThere are new categories like Webkinz, where you buy a plush toy and get a code where you can log in online to play games. For kids, “those games are like crack,” Hilleman said. “Don’t you wish you invented that?”\n\nHe noted how there are 28,000 Internet game rooms in South Korea where gamers pay by the hour and the establishments make their money on sales of soda and Doritos. About half of the country’s 48 million people are game players, with tastes ranging from hardcore online games like Starcraft to fashion games for girls.\n\n“If I want to go to see the past of gaming, I go to Japan,” he said. “If I want to see the future, I go to Korea.”\n\nTo target the casual gamers who like the Wii, Facebook or iPhone games, Hilleman says traditional game developers have to turn their approach inside out. He used to focus on immersive games, where you enable someone to immerse themselves in a game world and emerge 20 hours later. This Rip Van Winkle effect was great for 14-year-0ld boys playing single-player games in the dark in their rooms.\n\nNow with the Wii, he pays attention to what is happening on the “other side of the screen,” where people are enjoying a game together and laughing at what the person with the controller is doing. Family game nights now often mean parents rent a game on a Friday and play it for just a day.\n\nThe casual gamers who play the Wii, online games, Facebook games and iPhone games don’t want to play as long. Game designers have to adapt to make their games playable in short bursts. The games are also different ranging from exercise-based games like EA Sports Active to easier versions of EA Sports games.\n\n“If I sell to them, I can’t dominate their lifestyle,” he said. “I have to fit into their lifestyle.”\n\nAre the consoles in decline? Hilleman acknowledged it has been a struggle for the past two years. He said that Sony and Microsoft nearly expired crossing the finish line as they launched their consoles and probably don’t want to launch new ones anytime soon.\n\n“I expected we’ll see a PlayStation 3.5 before we see a PlayStation 4 and an Xbox 560 before we see an Xbox 720,” he said. “The biggest shift is how fast packaged goods games are changing and going away.”\n\nHe noted that with the iPhone, Nintendo DS, and PlayStation Portable, mobile game platforms now outnumber console platforms by two to one. Fortunately, it doesn’t take nearly as many people to make games for these platforms. It takes maybe 30 people to make a Wii game, and just a handful (or one) to make an iPhone game.\n\nThe iPhone, which has more than 15,000 games available, is part of the “democratization of game development.” That makes it harder for EA Mobile to compete, Hilleman said, but it’s also good for the industry because the iPhone has become a low-cost entry point for talent. The developers who make iPhone games can get their foot in the door and move upward to join bigger game companies.\n\nWhile some big game publishers have been cautious about the support they’ve voiced for streaming games — where games can be played on demand as players log into a game stored on a server in an Internet-connected data center — Hileman said he is enthusiastic about it. He said he knew of seven startups working on “remote desktop for gaming” services around the world.\n\nAt some point, Hilleman expects the acceptance of games to be total. As the older non-gamers die off and the average age of gamers — now 35 — creeps higher, we’ll reach gaming ubiquity. In this kind of world, consumers will want their games to follow them to whatever platform they’re using. New user interfaces such as the Wii controller are just at their beginning stages and they offer the potential to broaden the game audience to more non-gamers.\n\nHe said that EA’s Tiger Woods property is available on nine game platforms, ranging from a free-to-play online version launching in China to an iPhone version. The goal is to make the game consistent across those platforms so you can move from putting on the iPhone to playing a full game on the Wii. Hopefully, as gaming expands and the right business models take hold, Hilleman believes the game business will be vastly more profitable.\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-08-27T00:44:37Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"821b54f8fb3201d5323347da838c7cb9","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4ac80977f0a3/","kind":"page"},

Until now, Google only showed data from major highways. That data came directly from local highway authorities, but now, Google will also tap into data it receives from GPS-enabled phones that use Google Maps with the My Location feature. As users move around a city, Google can see how well traffic is flowing along any road and will update its live traffic data accordingly.\n\nSponsor\n\n\nWe actually noticed that Google started to display more traffic data for these roads a few weeks ago, but Google only described the specifics of this new program in a blog post today. To send data to Google, which is anonymized, users only have to open Google Maps on their Android phone (like the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G) or Palm Pre (we are still trying to figure out if BlackBerry and Symbian users can contribute as well). For now, the iPhone's Maps application doesn't support traffic crowdsourcing. If you don't want your phone's location to be tracked with My Location anymore, Google offers an easy way to opt out.\n\n\n\n\n\nGoogle is obviously aware of the potential privacy issues involved here, but according to Dave Barth, the product manager for Google Maps, Google will \"find the start and end points of every trip and permanently delete that data so that even Google ceases to have access to it.\" This way, nobody can find out where a car actually came from.\n\n\nAccording to Google, enough users use these phones to make this project feasible. In my experience however, the data for these arterial roads isn't quite as trustworthy as the data for highways.\n\n\nOverall, though, this is a great project and the more users are aware of it, the better the data will become. However, it is also worth noting that some GPS manufacturers have been using data from their users' GPS systems to crowdsource traffic data for years, though chances are that Google will be able to recruit more users and hence create a better experience for its users.\n\n\nDiscuss","saved":"2009-08-25T19:05:23Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"817261cc7e76e02c772778a71ee83fc0","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c1ee838045f8/","kind":"page"},

The move was first reported by Spencer E. Ante this afternoon in BusinessWeek.\n\nSponsor\n\n\nAdditional Facebook hires reported by BusinessWeek today include top Yahoo Engineer Arturo Bejar, former Genentech Chief Financial Officer David Ebersman, and senior Google engineer Greg Badros.  As close observers of the movement to develop open technology standards for the social web, we find the hiring of Recordon to be of greatest interest.\n\n\nDavid Recordon traveled all over the world advocating open standards apparently in the belief that an open web would ultimately benefit SixApart.  By the same logic that more web use and thus more search is good for Google, so too is more blogging and more online activity good for an activity stream-savvy SixApart.  But the company's activity stream products don't appear to have flowered as much as its blogging software, and Recordon's international advocacy must have been expensive.\n\n\nFacebook, on the other hand, may have a clearer interest in fostering increased activity and syndication of that activity data.  While some critics, including this site, have noted Facebook's tendency to both horde user data and push definitions of privacy in directions most users are unlikely to approve of, the company has also been an active participant in standards discussions concerning both data syndication and privacy.  (We worry that users are being pushed to open up data that developers will only be able to access in aggregate for a high price.)\n\n\nRecordon has been a key leader in the movement to advance standards-based technology concerning identity and activity.  We hope that he will help usher in future developments at Facebook that will both make user data available to as many developers as possible to build on and help users stay in control of their privacy in ways they are comfortable with.  That's not going to be an easy job.\n\n\nJust like when open source advocates take jobs at Microsoft, it's hard to know to what degree they are changing the nature of the company and to what degree they are being co-opted.\n\n\nMeanwhile back at SixApart, long-time team member Anil Dash has greatly increased his public profile in recent weeks with big posts about what he calls the Push-button Web.\n\n\nKey questions then seem to be these:  can Dash and others at SixApart keep pushing the Open Web agenda by bringing new technologies to market effectively? Can Recordon help the part of Facebook that favors open innovation and not just put a happy face on what departed Forrester marketing analyst Jeremiah Owyang recently predicted would be a future of big social networks \"colonizing the rest of the web.\"\n\n\nFacebook recently announced that it will be expanding its staff by as much as 50% this year, and blogger Robert Scoble notes that he was told by Google employees today while visiting that they are being recruited hard by Facebook as well.\n\n\nPhoto by Joi Ito.\n\nDiscuss","saved":"2009-08-25T05:05:27Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"eaff149a5de69f73b4034dad669ec10e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/288dccd42207/","kind":"page"},

Snow Leopard, as its name implies, is a massive upgrade to the current OS, Leopard. Strategically, Apple’s goal for Snow Leopard isn’t to wow consumers with new applications, as it has with past OS upgrades. Instead, Snow Leopard makes Mac desktops and laptops faster and more reliable, and enables them to replace Windows PCs in Microsoft-centric workplaces by connecting to Microsoft’s Exchange server for email, calendars and contacts. Snow Leopard also takes advantage of recent enhancements to Intel’s CPU chips, most notably multi-core processing and 64-bit memory capability.\n\nSnow Leopard’s lack of a new killer app shows that Apple has come to realize that consumers now get excited more by Web-based apps and services that run in the cloud, and are losing interest in installed software. Snow Leopard’s most important feature for most users is a Safari browser fix that keeps it from locking up or crashing when, say, an embedded video player in a Web page dies. It’ll impress users only after they realize they haven’t had their browser window disappear on them in weeks.\n\nBut the biggest wow in Snow Leopard is its price: $29 instead of Apple’s traditional $129 for an OS upgrade. Why the giveaway? To dissuade current Mac owners from going out and buying a cheap new PC. With netbooks now available below $300, a $129 operating system upgrade feels like pricing from the past. But a $29 OS upgrade gives Apple owners something new to buy that lets them hang onto an older Mac rather than replacing it with a Dell. That way, when the economy comes back around and it’s time to spend spend spend again, they’ll still be loyal Mac buyers.\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-08-25T04:22:41Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"1297f0e18f4ed5e4ab91d97fbb04a9a1","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1e02e593a171/","kind":"page"},

But most of them are fighting a losing battle, for the mobile browser war is increasingly being fought between two camps —  the Webkit-based browsers camp, which includes Safari on the iPhone, the Google Android Browser, the Palm browser and the Nokia browser; and the Opera camp.\n\nToday Research in Motion bought Touch Mobile, a Toronto-based company developing a Webkit-based mobile browser. Maybe it’s time for Microsoft to throw in the towel and officially get on the Webkit bandwagon as well.  With the BlackBerry still the reigning champion of the smartphone business, at least in North America, the Webkit is about to get a big boost. Even Mozilla’s Firefox Mobile has an uphill climb ahead, though one can’t blame them for trying. Many mobile industry insiders believe that the browser is one of the biggest drivers of the mobile Internet boom.\n\nFrankly, I can’t wait for my BlackBerry Tour to get some browser smarts and become more useful than its current role of just a solid messaging device.\n\n\n \nHow will real-time change the enterprise?

Currently in private alpha, the site makes fluffy claims about how they're \"reversing the traditional search process, continuously filtering and focusing the Universe of online content, to connect you with the best stuff around your interests and aspirations.\" \n\n\nIf you're not clear on what exactly that means, don't feel bad... but don't write them off either. Instead, think of Dorthy.com as a new take on the old 43Things, the site which encourages users to list goals, share progress, and cheer each other on. Dorthy does the same but gets you there by making interesting use of Web 3.0 technologies like AI and natural language search. \n\nSponsor\n\n\n\n\nSemantic Search for Dreams\n\nAccording to Jim Anderson, the About.com co-founder who was hired as Dorthy's CTO earlier this year, the site's search engine doesn't use keyword-based search but rather has the user enter a fully formed question, statement, or phrase like \"run a marathon in 4 hours.\" Not only does the search engine parse the semantics of your input using its proprietary algorithms, it also learns from you, incrementally enhancing your results upon every visit. \n\n\n\n\n\nAs an example, Anderson describes how a fictional user named Jennifer might search for information about a trip to Paris. Because Jennifer had previously shared other background information like the fact that she's an avid marathon runner, fluent in French, wants to learn to cook French food, and hates cruises, Dorthy.com will retrieve specific information related to those interests. The results would be filtered to highlight info on cooking schools, shopping, and popular running routes in Paris - things that would be interesting to Jennifer specifically.\n\n\nThis example doesn't even necessarily count as a \"dream,\" it seems - you could plan an actual trip to Paris using Dorthy's technology, too. However, the overall point of the service is to provide you with information about a particular goal or aspiration and then connect you with others who feel the same. \n\n\nUsing Dorthy\n\nWhen performing searches on Dorthy, you'll have the option to create your own page on a specific topic or view the topic pages others have already created. These pages feature popular articles, videos, photos, and blog entries from the web and are constantly being updated with new content. When you find content you like, even if it's on someone else's page, you can easily copy it over to a page of your own. \n\n\n\n\n\nAfter this initial \"discovery\" process is complete, you can use Dorthy's \"Connect\" feature to meet others also interested in your topic so you can share your progress and encourage each other, much like how the above-mentioned 43Things operates.\n\n\nIn the future, Dorthy hopes to expand their offering to go beyond simply being a consumer-targeted Web-based service to one that could benefit the enterprise (think \"I want to go to a virtualization conference in Las Vegas\"), or so reported eWeek earlier this year. They also plan on moving to mobile at some point, too. \n\n\nAt the moment, Dorthy.com is in private alpha, but you can sign up to join here. \n\n\n\n\nDiscuss\n\n        \n","saved":"2009-08-23T21:21:26Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"47825ea3816da21a9eefa96769f2895a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5ddbaaf51ae5/","kind":"page"},

Since anything can be written in this field, it's interesting but not very dependable.We're gearing up to launch a new feature which makes Twitter truly location-aware. A new API will allow developers to add latitude and longitude to any tweet. Folks will need to activate this new feature by choice because it will be off by default and the exact location data won't be stored for an extended period of time. However, if people do opt-in to sharing location on a tweet-by-tweet basis, compelling context will be added to each burst of information.For example, with accurate, tweet-level location data you could switch from reading the tweets of accounts you follow to reading tweets from anyone in your neighborhood or city—whether you follow them or not. It's easy to imagine how this might be interesting at an event like a concert or even something more dramatic like an earthquake.

But it’s lacking in certain parts of the world. And rather than pay people to go get information about those places, Google has smartly been using a service called Map Maker, which lets locals and people knowledgeable about the area edit it themselves. And this week, Google has added a couple important areas to the list: Mexico and Eastern Europe.\n\n“These two launches have doubled the number of users who can map their country on Map Maker,” Google notes today. That’s impressive, but even more impressive is the full list of countries that can now use Map Maker to improve local maps. And while Map Maker doesn’t work in places like the U.S. and other well mapped-out areas of the world, you can edit things on U.S. maps such as place locations. It seems clear that Google Maps is a wiki of sorts now, meaning the community is responsible for a lot of the data on it.\n\nNow, Google still looks over this new country data, and then allows certain portions to “graduate” to actual Google Maps. But still, it’s a great idea to get more information in your system for free. I wonder how long it will be until Google lets users in the rest of the world in on the fun to edit roads and other features that are incorrect or not listed? Maybe you’ll be able to put in information when you know a road is under construction for a set period of time, for example. That data is out there for large projects, but it would be very useful on a day to day basis for small jobs when I’m trying to get somewhere on time.\n\nBelow find an impressive before and after picture of Lahore, Pakistan, after Google Map Maker did its thing.\n\n\n\nUpdate: Google has reached out to me with another piece of information about the Map Maker initiative. Earlier this week, they announced that the Map Maker data set in Africa would be available for non-profits and NGOs to download to further promote mapping the areas. More information on that is here.\n\n\n\nCrunchBase Information\n\n\nGoogle Maps\n\nInformation provided by CrunchBase\n\n\nCrunch Network:  MobileCrunch Mobile Gadgets and Applications, Delivered Daily.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-08-20T04:44:50Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4ed6f1fbb18a9f7be61219cd2ff4eed8","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ae6cc3e15ded/","kind":"page"},

See this op-editorial in the Washington Post.\n\n[Clark's book is much more interesting and completely argued. In the op-ed he leaves out one of his central points, which is that modern industrial processes are less tolerant of careless or incompetent workers than older processes. In a plant where a single mistake can result in the spoiling of $1 million of material or the death of another worker, quite a few Americans would not be welcome in that factory even at a wage of 1 penny per hour. Especially given government mandates of minimum wages and health care benefits, quite a few American workers fall into the same class as horses did in the early 20th century. Even a free horse wasn't productive enough to earn his cost of maintenance. Machines did not replace humans in the 20th century, as had been predicted by forward thinkers, but machines did replace horses. Coincidentally, the New York Times yesterday carried a story about Iraqi immigrants to the U.S. The fundamental problem seems to be that there is not a market-clearing wage at which American companies want to hire these folks and at which the Iraqis are able to sustain themselves.]\n","saved":"2009-08-16T11:45:03Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3f39f63a2605908c6a2a399c48ccca5d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d6f1b3b0e760/","kind":"page"},

But we had a chance to talk with Friendfeed cofounder Bret Taylor (pictured right) and Facebook VP Products Chris Cox a few minutes ago to discuss the deal and the product integration plans going forward.\n\nOn How the Deal Happened\n\nCox and Taylor won’t talk deal terms or even if the deal was stock, cash or a mix (likely all stock or mostly stock). Friendfeed has raised just $5 million in an early 2008 financing, and is backed by Benchmark Capital.\n\nTaylor said “this is an 11th hour deal,” (sounds like it was finalized last week and there was quite a party) but that the two companies have been talking for some time. “Things heated up in the last couple of weeks,” he said, after the two were on a panel together at the Real Time CrunchUp on July 10.\n\nProduct Integration\n\nWe’ve heard from one source that, like the 2007 Parakey acquisition, the deal is largely a talent acquisition by Facebook, and less about the Friendfeed product. Friendfeed has 12 employees, and all but one are engineers.\n\nTaylor and Cox say that the Friendfeed product will live on independently, and eventually Friendfeed will be merged into Facebook. But the Friendfeed team is not being kept whole. Some employees will now report to Cox, others to engineering head Mike Schroepfer. In my opinion that means, long term, the Friendfeed product itself is unlikely to be a big priority.\n\nBut Facebook is clearly excited about Friendfeed’s ability to innovate and launch new products. Taylor said “The basic idea is that Facebook doesn’t want to disrupt the product…they’ll take a lot of ideas that work well on Friendfeed and see how they apply to Facebook, and over time they’ll look at how to integrate the products.”\n\nHe also said that Friendfeed and Facebook agree on a few main philosophical points around openness. “Facebook’s focus on Facebook Connect and openness is also a central tenet of Friendfeed. Some of our ideas on Friendfeed can really accelerate Facebook’s product plans.”\n\nCox agreed, noting that Facebook is focused on being a platform and a service, and not just a destination site. “Friendfeed’s core values, portability and aggregation of content created everywhere, will happen at an accelerated pace at Facebook.”\n\nNote that translations are rough, I took notes and I usually can’t read my own writing. \n\nFriendfeed will move out of their Mountain View offices and join Facebook at their Palo Alto headquarters shortly, Taylor said.\n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchGear drool over the sexiest new gadgets and hardware.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-08-10T21:21:20Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"258633d46efcc8085ecf5afdf67776f3","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/29c5ad3378ca/","kind":"page"},

Postling is a centralized platform for small businesses to publish to the social Web. \n\n\nThe pitch is that it's a single place to do all your social media work. If you're thinking it sounds like a clone of other multi-network social media apps, you'd be only partly correct. By signing up on the site, businesses get a single place to blog, share photos and post to social networks. With no free option, it's clearly positioning itself as a business tool and not a place for social media addicts, like FriendFeed or Ping.fm. \n\n\nSponsor\n\n\nSocial Media Labor-saving Device\n\nChris Maguire and Haim Schoppik are co-founders of Etsy and now make up the engineering side of Postling. CEO David Lifson was a product manager at both Etsy and Amazon.com previously. \n\n\nIts value proposition is to save time for small businesses that want to test the social media waters. You publish to a variety of platforms and networks, and all your activity is also aggregated in a central Postling blog hosted on a subdomain. There's a free 30-day trial for the service, but after that it'll be $9/month or $90/year. \n\n\nOnce you sign up and connect your accounts, Postling offers a simple interface for four basic activities. In trying out all of them, we quickly saw that although Postling has the right idea, it is definitely still in beta. \n\n\n\n\nStatus Updates: You can selectively post updates to Twitter and Facebook. Nothing really special here, since it's not doing anything that TweetDeck or Seesmic Desktop can't do for either of those networks. \n\n\nBlogging: Postling supports posting to your WordPress, Blogger, Typepad, or Squarespace blog. On the one hand, it was extremely fast and easy to write and send off a post. But there were some bugs and missing functionality, such as poor image handling and no ability to add categories in WordPress. \n\n\nImages Uploads: You upload images to include in posts, and you can also upload them to Flickr. Instead of images alone, it'd be really nice to upload videos and integrate with YouTube, Blip.tv or Vimeo. Online video is a medium growing in importance for many businesses, especially small ones which usually can't afford big production costs. \n\n\nShare a Link: This task was the most confusing. Most social media participants use social networks like Twitter and Facebook for link sharing, or they use social bookmarking. But it appeared that \"sharing a link\" as a separate function meant composing a blog post. \n\n\nTurn the Bullhorn Around\n\nIt's easy to forgive bugs in a service less than a week old. But there's one thing that is glaringly absent from Postling right now: the ability to receive updates and then publish them. \n\n\nThough it looks like the team at Postling is working on listening capabilities right now, until they show up, the service will be of limited utility. In the near future, be sure to look for new features that will flesh out Postling as a social media tool for business. \n\n\nTip of the hat to Bre Pettis.\n\nDiscuss","saved":"2009-08-06T06:56:46Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"fb5513cf0aa6d3dd24d4a686ec056078","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/17a421167872/","kind":"page"},

But then the game ends.  Everyone is forced to head back to their normal lives to trudge through their day jobs once more, at least til the next home game comes round.  Social media can offer them some comfort, giving them a chance to take the community home with them.  Unfortunately, many professional sports teams are still failing to tap into this effectively.\n\nFanChatter, a Y Combinator funded company that’s launching today, is a startup that’s looking to help fix this problem.  The company is focused on helping major sports teams increase engagement both during and after games using user-submitted content, Twitter, and other social services.  And while the company is still quite new, it’s already got some major customers, including the Minnesota Twins, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the University of Oaklahoma. \n\nOne of the site’s core features is its photo gallery.  During games, fans are encouraged to Email photos taken from their cell phones to a designated Email address, for the chance to have their photos appear on the stadium’s Jumbotron.  Teams receive the photos in real-time and build photo galleries from them, which they can then use in place of the candid video shots we’ve all seen so many times between innings or during a time-out.  Obviously teams aren’t able to display every photo submitted, but FanChatter also takes these photos and builds a shared photo album — one for each game — which can then be accessed by fans from the team’s home page.  You can see what these albums look like by checking out the Twins’ page here.  Fans will also soon be able to share their videos taken at the game, though these likely won’t be appearing on the Jumbotron as they take too long to filter through.\n\nAnother of the company’s features is the ChatterBox, a widget that can display a stream of tweets relevant to a particular hashtag or topic (the Timberwolves have one that shows tweets with the tag #twolves).  Fans can use this to communicate during the game, and to follow the latest news from home.  The widget is similar to one that’s offered by Tinker, which launched earlier this year.\n\nFanChatter licenses its technology with fees set on a case-by-case basis, and has plans to extend its technology beyond sports to include other major events, like concerts.  It also has plans to roll out iPhone applications, which would give fans a better way to interact with each other while they’re still at the game.\n\n\n\n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchBase the free database of technology companies, people, and investors\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-08-06T05:40:08Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"823ffd2c78cb676a36fa80d433af33ff","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/234357eebc5e/","kind":"page"},

Facebook itself only officially acknowledges 250 million active registered users (but you don’t have to be a registered user to visit some Facebook pages).\n\nIn the past year, it has grown 157 percent, gaining 208 million visitors.  It long ago passed its rival MySpace on a global basis, way back in April, 2008. Since then, it has passing even bigger sites on its way up.  In the chart above, the blue line is Facebook.  It passed Amazon back in August, 2008.  eBay fell by the wayside in January, 2009.

Tumblr Launches a “TumbleUpon” Toolbar.","note":"\n\nWhat is it with all the toolbar copycat craziness lately.  First, there was Digg going after StumbleUpon with the Diggbar.  Then StumbleUpon, which already had a toolbar, introduced a new toolbar/URL shortening service called Su.pr.  \n\nNow, micro-blogging service Tumblr is getting in on the act with its own toolbar which it is calling TumbleUpon.  Could they try to be more blatant in ripping off StumbleUpon?  The toolbar has a random Stumble-like shuffle button which randomly takes you through different Tumblogs in a similar way that StumbleUpon’s toolbars do. On the right there is a heart button if you want to “like” a page, a reblog button and a button that takes you to your own Tumblr dashboard.  \n\nStumbleUpon’s Su.pr toolbar, in comparison, also has a random shuffle button for discovering pages Websites other people have Stumbled, and a “like” button.  But Su.pr is a URL shortener with powerful analytics on the backend, while TumbleUpon is not. It is just a discovery tool which surfaces other Tumblogs of people who have overlapping “likes.”\n\nSo is this a joke?  Yes, and no.  Tumblr founder David Karp tells us:\n\nIt was really an experiment to see how a tool like StumbleUpon would work for Tumblr content.  Based on the feedback, it seems to be doing a pretty good job.  We really like that it’s the first Tumblr discovery tool that shows off all of the pretty user created themes while exploring content. . . . \n\nWe might wind up changing the name when we start promoting it in the Dashboard  \n\nIn a blog post today, Karp also shares some growth stats. He claims that in July, 2009, Tumblr had 50 million visitors, 255 million impressions, 650,000 new posts per day, and 5,000 new users per day.  \n\nTumblr is definitely growing, but comScore estimates a much smaller number of users: only 3.9 million uniques worldwide in June, 2009 and 68 million pageviews.  That is a 3X increase in unique visitors over a year ago and a 12X increase in pageviews, but a far cry from the numbers Karp is putting out.  \n\nI asked Karp what could explain this disparity.  He pointed out that 15 percent of Tumblr’s blogs are on custom domains, and that the 50 million number is for visitors per Google Analytics.  The same person can be a visitor more than once.  Google counts 20 million unique visitors, and Quantcast counts 13 million worldwide.  The site is verified by Quantcast, so I’d go with that number.  Any way you count it, though, the service is showing strong growth.\n\nBut really, TumbleUpon?\n\n\n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchBase the free database of technology companies, people, and investors\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n","saved":"2009-08-06T05:22:14Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"d225976abfec756f3c3500282235d083","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d64ff88d54de/","kind":"page"},

All shared item pages have feeds, and now all of those feeds will ping a hub (and there's a <link rel=\"hub\" .../> element in them). This means that if you (as a web app developer) would like to more efficiently and quickly monitor Reader shares, you just have to subscribe at the hub to be notified of changes in real-time. If you want to learn more about PubSubHubbub and how it works, see the site and protocol definition.\n\n\nOne place that takes advantage of this pinging is FriendFeed. This means if you have added your shared items to your FriendFeed account, you and your friends will see them there within a few seconds the \"Share\" link being pressed in Reader (special thanks to FriendFeeder Benjamin Golub for making sure the experience was as smooth as possible). You can see this in action in FriendFeed's search results and in the screencast below:\n\n\n\n[YouTube Video]\n\n\n\nAdding PubSubHubbub support was a 20% project between Brad Fitzpatrick, Brett Slatkin, and myself, each of us working in our spare time over the past couple of weeks.

To that end, we’re happy to announce today that we’ve signed a deal to acquire On2 Technologies, a leading creator of high-quality video compression technology.\n\n\nThis could be huge for the Open Video movement. It all depends on what Google does with the codecs going forward (and the deal going through of course).\n\nRobin Wauters has more:\n\n\nSome of its codec designs are known as VP3, VP4, VP5, TrueMotion VP6, TrueMotion VP7 and VP8. Its customers include Adobe, Skype, Nokia, Infineon, Sun Microsystems, Mediatek, Sony, Brightcove, and Move Networks. On2, formerly known as The Duck Corporation, is headquartered in Clifton Park, NY.\n\nIf would be great if Google decides to open-source On2’s VP7 and VP8 video codecs and free them up as the worldwide video codec standards, thus becoming alternatives to the proprietary and licenced H264 codecs. On2 has always claimed VP7 is better quality than H264 at the same bitrate.\n\nAlso noteworthy: Google could use the VP8 codec for YouTube in HTML5 mode, basically forcing its many users to upgrade to HTML5-compliant browsers instead of using Flash formats.\n\n\n\n\nWhat would you like to see?\n\n\n  \n","saved":"2009-08-05T17:09:08Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2bba8dbd55447b74617ca52f60a9bdcc","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d8dd89cbc17c/","kind":"page"},
{"id":"67d6bd130c66","hash":"67d6bd130c663eb113bdc1fc55c62157","url":"http://wordpress.org/development/2009/07/2-9-vote-results/","title":"2.9 Features Vote Results","note":"Earlier this month, over 3500 of you responded to our survey asking you to help us prioritize some of the media features that had been suggested for the 2.9 release. While the exact features for 2.9 have not been hammered out yet, as we continue to match up developers with features, we wanted to share the survey results and let you know what we’re thinking in terms of approach.\n\nFirst, the results. The first question, and the only one that was mandatory, asked what single media feature you would choose to include in version 2.9. The top vote-getter was standalone editable photo albums (as opposed to the current per-post gallery) at 17.5%, followed closely by easier embeds for videos and other third-party content at 16.5%. Next came basic image editing (such as rotating, cropping and resizing) at 13.7%, and post thumbnails (image teasers for posts featured on the home page) at 12.9%. The rest of the features each took less than ten percent of the vote. The full list came in like this:\n\n\n\nThe second question was optional (3406 people answered it), and asked you to rate each feature on a scale going from top priority down to definitely not for implementation priority. Results here were in line with the results from the first question, with most features rated as nice to have more often than anything else. The features that scored the highest in question 1 were more likely to have earned higher votes in the Top Priority column, but no feature was ranked as a Top Priority more often than it was ranked as a Nice to Have (though Media Albums, Easier Embeds and Post Thumbnails came close). The complete tabulations are shown in the chart below.\n\n\n\nQuestion three was getting at the same thing, but in a more granular fashion, asking you to rank the eleven features in order of priority to you. As only one feature could be assigned to each position, this prevented people from assigning the same priority to multiple features, and we wondered if it would alter the results. Though some features got more recognition in this question, the overall rankings were still in line with the results from question 1. Here are the exact votes per feature/per position:\n\n\n\nThe fourth question asked for your preferences regarding including new media features in core, bundling them as plugins with the core download, or developing them as plugins but not bundling them with the core download. This vote was more interesting to watch. As the notice for the voting went first to the development community, then to the user community, it was possible to see a shift in the voting. Earlier in the voting cycle, there were more votes for bundling ‘core plugins’ for the advanced media features, while later votes skewed heavily toward just putting the features in core. This vote shows, I think, one of the differences between developer and user perspectives. While developers are heavily interested in keeping the core code lean and relying on plugins for advanced functionality, many users would prefer features they want to be included in core rather than being a separate plugin. The final tally on this question was 56.2% for including features in core, 38.1% for bundled plugins, and 5.7% for non-bundled plugins. The actual numbers:\n\n\n\nClearly this issue deserves more discussion, and the concept of how we move toward a system of canonical plugins and/or core “packages” intended for different use cases (CMS, photoblog, portfolio, etc) will be a big topic in the months ahead.\n\nSo where does that leave us regarding features coming down the road? When the vote closed, the results were discussed in the #wordpress-dev IRC chat to divvy up feature development.\n\nThe top-voted feature, standalone photo albums, is being worked on as a Google Summer of Code project by Rudolf Lai, under the mentorship of WordPress Lead Developer Mark Jaquith. The “pencils down” date for GSOC is in less than two weeks, at which point we’ll be assessing the state of Rudolf’s project. Hopefully, we’ll be able to incorporate it with 2.9 development, do some testing,  amend the code and/or UI as needed, and have this launch with the 2.9 release (in core or as plugin TBD). Undoubtedly, additional functionality will be contributed by core contributors who have also been working on media plugins.\n\nEasier embeds, the second most popular feature, is being looked at in a couple of ways. One, more shortcodes for third-party services. Work on this has already begun. In addition, Viper007Bond, of Viper’s Video Quicktags plugin fame, has taken on the task of working on a way to improve the embed experience in core. We’re not sure quite how this will work yet, but stay tuned.\n\nAdding some basic editing functions like 90-degree rotation, cropping and resizing was considered an obvious winner in the dev chat, and as several plugins handle this functionality, we’re hopeful it will be included soon.\n\nPost thumbnails are being handled by Mark Jaquith, who has created this functionality before, with an assist from Scribu, who has a similar plugin in the repository.\n\nLower ranked features aren’t off the radar, but may take lower priority than some other (non-media) features we have in the works. One of my favorite 2.9 features is in trunk now, and changes the way we delete content. Goodbye, annoying popup asking me if I’m sure I want to delete a comment/post/etc. Hello, fast and quiet removal into a trash can, from which the content can be retrieved if it was deleted by accident. Think Gmail style. We’re also hoping to work on improving page management, though that has a number of technical issues that may cause it to be a 3.0 feature instead.\n\nAs always, you can keep track of development progress in a number of ways:\n1. Keep track of Trac. Contribute a patch, test a patch, just read through tickets if you have some time to kill, whatever. There are over 500 tickets against the 2.9 milestone currently. Patches and testing can help us get that number down.\n\n2. Follow Trac commits on Twitter. Don’t want to get involved in the nitty gritty, just want to see what’s getting committed? Follow wpdevel on Twitter and you’ll get core commit updates in your stream.\n\n3. See what’s on the dev agenda. Each week for the IRC dev chat, there’s an agenda, created based on developer suggestions posted at wpdevel.wordpress.com. This blog also contains discussions about specific development issues.\n\n4. Join the dev chat. The day changed this week, to accommodate European schedules. Chats are now held for one hour each week on Thursday at 21:00 UTC. That’s 5pm NYC, 2pm in California, etc. Chats are in the #wordpress-dev room at irc.freenode.com.\n\n5. Watch this blog. If you’re not a developer and prefer to stick to major announcements, the occasional survey to help decide a feature, and security notices, just keep doing what you’re doing. Reading this blog will get you all of these things.\n\nThanks again for your help in prioritizing features for version 2.9, hopefully coming toward the end of the year to a server near you!\n","saved":"2009-08-05T16:55:40Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"6859b08fe76470943ceac19b2676555d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/67d6bd130c66/","kind":"page"},

A number of mobile app stores have launched, but IDFusion’s Bodega is one of the first to launch for the desktop. With roughly 150 apps at launch, a number of big names have signed on-board, let’s take a first look at the Bodega App Store.\n\nAt first Glance, the app appears to be more than it is. While the store has a great sidebar, I found the interface a bit sluggish (it’s obviously loading all of the app data from the net), and sometimes unresponsive when I tried browse into an app’s info page. The navigation arrows normally found at the top of apps, were kicked to the bottom (likely because of the giant branded awning), and took a few minutes to get used to clicking at the bottom.\n\n\nThe Bodega interface is slick, except for the exceptionally tacky awning (which you can’t get rid of unfortunately).\n\nI perused the categories, surprised to find a wide spread of apps I hadn’t come across. However I was extremely disappointed to find out that Bodega isn’t really a store, but more of an app aggregator. There’s no built-in payment system that we’ve associated with the iPhone App Store. Instead of being brought through to a payment page, I was crushed to see a little tiny browser pop out of the top, and open the developers site.\n\nBodega merely links you to the developers website to use their custom payment system\n\nWhy use Bodega then instead of simply going to the developers site? Well Bodega does help you save your receipt and license inside the app, but it also works as an update manager. If you have software installed that’s also in the Bodega store, it will show up in an Application list with any available updates. There are also rating and review features similar to Apple’s App Store, which allow users to rate and give feedback on apps.\n\nThis is a great first start, but Bodega isn’t the true app store that you would expect it to be. On the Bodega website IDFusion touts the direct-from-developer system as a feature:\n\n\n“Bodega lets you buy direct from developers, so you’re certain to get the lowest price while making sure your software dollars end up in the pockets of hard-working programmers, not middlemen.”\n\n\nHowever, this complicates the purchase process. It’s like going to a big retail store, and being told you have to drive across town to pay for a product.\n\nHopefully in Bodega 2, or other app stores, we’ll get the one-stop experience we’ve grown accustomed to in Apple’s App Store.\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n","saved":"2009-08-05T15:10:35Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3de700053e4a1ada83f2f7aff74e575b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3f69b0c1a289/","kind":"page"},

In the case of both TED events I’ve worked on—TED 2009 in Long Beach and TEDGlobal 2009 in Oxford—it’s taken a team of talented and dedicated people to get the job done\n\n\nFor starters, at TEDGlobal 2009, there were two primary photographers. I was on the hook for covering the main stage. Equally important, however, was the work that Robert Leslie did shooting everything that happened outside the main room, including the social events, parties, and the atmosphere around TED. Both of us blurred these lines a bit. Robert shot some in the main room when big things were happening, such as the Prime Minister’s appearance. I shot some coverage of the parties. But, for the most part, this divide and conquer approach worked well to bring you complete coverage of the event through the TED Conference Flickr stream.\n\n\nI should stress that neither Robert or I were “primary” or “secondary” shooters in terms of a pecking order. We both had our zones of responsibility and we both tackled the jobs at hand. When we were in the same area, we even tended to make sure we were taking different angles so that if something happened, at least one of us would be in a good position. It was a great way to work.\n\n\nRobert and I spent all of our time either shooting, moving to the next event to shoot, or trying to eat a bite as we zipped off to wherever we were needed next. The good news is that we didn’t have to deal with the hundreds of Gigabytes of image data we created. Instead, we handed our cards off to the media team who had a fleet of machines setup to deal with our output. For time critical photos, we had Karen Eng, to quickly zip photos from wherever we were to the media room and get them ingested into the workflow. For slower priority photos, we’d drop cards off as they filled up, typically when we were also looking for a bite to eat.\n \n\nKaren Eng at the closing event at TEDGlobal 2009 • TED/James Duncan Davidson\n\nKaren wasn’t just the bit of glue that kept cards moving smoothly between the media room and Robert and I. She also communicated valuable bits of information back and forth, helping to keep things coordinated. For example, when there were important times to get photos back to the media room, she’d let us know when those were. She also provided helpful status updates to the question—always on my mind—of how well the photographs I was delivering were meeting expectations and needs. Throughout, she kept things light and fun with great banter while making sure to keep an eye on the things that I couldn’t.\n\n\nMike Femia in the Media Room at TEDGlobal 2009 • TED/James Duncan Davidson\n\nOnce the photos were delivered to the media room and ingested, our photo editor Mike Femia took over. Seated at his workstation with a huge 30\" screen and wielding Photo Mechanic, he split out the incoming files into appropriate groups, applied captions, and then sorted out selects to push to all of the various places they needed to end up. One of these destination was the Flickr stream. Another was the TED Blog, which needed fresh photos to illustrate their coverage of the event. For example, here’s a shot of William Kamkwamba as it appears on the blog:\n\n\n\n\nSimply splitting photos and pipelining them between Flickr and internal users is tricky enough. But, there was a very important third destination for our photographs: the global news organizations. As part of the workflow, Mike was also sending out images to a site where various news organizations would pick them up and run with their stories about TEDGlobal.  Here’s a shot of the same image from above of William Kamkwamba as it appeared on the BBC website:\n\n\n\n\nLet me tell you, I’ve seen my fair share of workflows and this one is right up there at the top as far as all the requirements pulling at it. Public web distribution via Flickr, team blog support, and news distribution. I wish I could say that some single tool just made this easy, but when it’s at this level, it’s not about tools anymore. It’s about having all the right people in play. The guy who made sure to keep all of use co-ordinated and running smoothly, while at the same time working with the video team, was Michael Glass. \n\n\nMichael Glass in the Media Room at TEDGlobal 2009 • TED/James Duncan Davidson\n\nFor most of the conferences I shoot, I’m working solo and juggling the responsibilities of photographer, photo editor, and publisher. But for a TED conference, there’s no way that would work. It took all five of us—Michael, Mike, Karen, Robert, and myself—operating within the much larger group of people putting on the conference to cover things. Even so, at the end of four days of non-stop photo creation and pipelining, we were all smooshed. It took giving it all we had to get things done. It was one hell of a team. I was honored to be a part of it, and I can only hope to do it again!\n\n\nNote: I haven’t yet found a photograph of Robert Leslie in my collection of photographs from the event. As soon as I find one in the 300GB of images I’m currently sifting through, I’ll add it to this post.\n","saved":"2009-08-02T04:08:29Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"bc03099d2fca8297b2999f676e4e59e9","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c43a056d5d23/","kind":"page"},

In late 2008 they launched WSJ Community, a social network bolted onto the main WSJ site. That community is a ghost town - raise your hand if you’ve even heard of it, let alone visited it. At some point, they’ll likely shut it down as quietly as possible.\n\nBut they are still serious about gunning for the LinkedIn crowd and all those monetization opportunities (jobs, ads and a heck of a marketing pool for WSJ subscriptions). They’ve been working on a new social network, to be called WSJ Connect, we’ve confirmed. And instead of building it internally, like they did with WSJ Community, they’ve enlisted the help of another arm of parent company News Corp. - Slingshot Labs. And yes, they call it “LinkedIn Killer” internally.\n\nSlingshot Labs is the R&D arm of News Corp. and works on digital products. Their first product was Daily Fill, which launched earlier this year.

They operate fairly independently, have their own funding and 40-50 staff, according to one person familiar with their operations.\n\nWSJ Connect is still in the planning/conceptual stages, says one source, but there is “strong interest” to move the project forward. Importantly, it would leverage the WSJ brand but would be a separate property and unencumbered by the need for a paid subscription to the newspaper.\n\nConceptual screenshots of the product are apparently floating around Slingshot, the WSJ and MySpace.

Today, we're pleased to announce that we've made four improvements to give you more sharing control and help you easily find other people's publicly shared items within Reader.\n\n\nFind and follow other people\n\nInstead of sharing your items with others and hoping they reciprocate, you can now find people with public shared items and subscribe to their shared items with one click. Use our new people search feature (powered by Google profiles) to look for people who have public shared items. You can browse by name, location, or topic, and start following new people -- all from inside Reader.\n\n\n\n\n\nShhh, just between us friends...\n\nIf sharing publicly isn't your cup of tea, we now allow you to share items with a specific group or with multiple groups. If you choose to do this, only people you add to your sharing groups will be able to see and comment on your shared items. If you use Gmail, you will notice that these are the same groups from your Gmail contacts -- so, changes you make to these groups in Reader will change them in Gmail as well.\n\n\n\n\n\nTake your 15 minutes of fame\n\nIf you want people who visit your Google profile to know what you're interested in on Reader, add a link to your shared items to your Google profile.  Once you check the box marked \"Add a link to my Google profile,\" anyone using the search feature within Reader will be able to find and follow your shared items.\n\n\nTo make it even easier for people to find you, you can also give your Reader shared items page a custom URL that uses your Google username, like www.google.com/reader/shared/pink.black. You need to enable this under \"Profile URL\" on your Google profile first.\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you liked it, then you shoulda put a \"like\" on it\n\nHave you ever wanted to tell an author or publisher that you appreciate an article they wrote? Or maybe you want to let your friend know that you enjoyed the blog post he shared with you.  With a quick click of the mouse (or a swipe of the \"L\" key -- for the keyboard shortcut pros), you can \"like\" any item in Reader. All \"likes\" are public, so anyone reading an item you've \"liked\" in Reader can see that you're a fan. Checking out shared items for people who have \"liked\" the same items as you is a great way to discover other people with interests similar to your own.\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd one last comment about comments\n\nOne small note for this release: the ability to see and add comments to shared items is still restricted only to people you have in a sharing group (i.e. \"Friends\"). So, although your shared items might be public (and publicly discoverable), only people you have added to a sharing group will be able to comment on them.\n\n\n\n\n\nThese features are English-only for now, but as always, keep the feedback coming via our help group, Twitter or Get Satisfaction.\n\n\n","saved":"2009-07-16T15:44:18Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"806c861c4d2d0e147f62168c26a85006","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/10fff1db732c/","kind":"page"},

Do you find your needs just can't be met by any one of the multiple options available to you? Can you even remember how many different browsers you've been with? If that sounds like you, you should be glad to hear that Choosy has left beta. We've mentioned Choosy before but in case you missed it during the beta cycle, here's what Choosy does for you: Choosy is a preference pane which lets you keep your browser options open. Do you love Safari, but sometimes find that you need to use Firefox for a particular website? Are you a fan of Fluid (which lets you create site-specific browsers), or you want all your RSS links to open in your personalized Google Reader browser?When you select a link, instead of your default browser, a Choosy window will appear; you can configure it to show all of your available browsers, or just the ones which are currently running. Or you can set a default to use except if you hold down the shift key, for example.That latter functionality is what led me to give Choosy another look. I tried it during the beta period and found that most of the time I wanted links to open in Safari, but there were some I wanted to open in Firefox or Fluid. While having to choose a browser for every link proved to be too distracting, the 1.0 version allows you to create very precise rules.For example, I can setup Safari to be my default browser, but if I click a link while holding down the shift/command/alt key, then that link will automatically be opened in Firefox.My favorite rule? If Web address contains constantcontact.com then use Firefox. Constant Contact is a great service, but they are very aggressive about which web browsers they support. Now I can stop thinking about this, and if I come across a Constant Contact link, it will automatically open it in Firefox.Do you have a Fluid SSB for Facebook or Twitter? If so, you can make sure that all of those links open in your site-specific browser.Choosy is shareware. You can try it free and without any limitation for 45 days. In my experience that will be plenty of time to decide if Choosy is the right choice for you. If it is, you can register it for $12 and continue to enjoy surfing the web with multiple partners... err, browsers.TUAWChoosy helps those with Browser Commitment Phobia originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Tue, 14 Jul 2009 22:00:00 EST.

I became convinced after they released Android: if they’re creating and giving away a free OS for phones, why not PCs, too? But I expected that Google’s eventual PC OS was going to be an expanded meant-for-a-bigger-screen version of Android — sort of the inverse of what Apple did for the iPhone. Apple took a PC OS and whittled it down to a fundamental core, then built new handheld-specific UI libraries and APIs on top. The hypothetical PC version of Android I’m imagining would have entailed1 taking the core of the mobile Android OS and creating new meant-for-a-PC libraries and APIs on top.\n\n\nSo it’s not weird that Chrome was announced. But what is weird is how it was announced. And, despite the title of the weblog post in which the announcement was made — “Introducing the Google Chrome OS” — nothing has actually been introduced. There aren’t even any screenshots, let alone a demo or any specific technical information. With an expected ship date of “the second half of 2010”, it’s a textbook example of vaporware.\n\n\nI don’t get the timing. Why announce it now, when it clearly isn’t close to ready? Why not at I/O, Google’s developer conference six weeks ago? Or why not wait until it’s ready to release to developers? I like facts, demos, and best of all, shipping products. I don’t like vague promises.\n\n\nWeb Apps as Native Apps\n\nIt’s certainly interesting and ambitious to state that the entire application platform will consist of web apps. If anyone was going to build such an OS, it’d be Google. Much of the initial commentary regarding Chrome OS has been wholly positive, but one common note of skepticism has been with regard to the “web apps are the only apps” aspect, with the frequent point of comparison being to the 1.0 release of the iPhone OS. E.g., Nick Mediati at PC World:\n\n\n\n  Both users and app developers are still hungry for so-called\n  “native” applications — that is, software designed for a particular\n  operating system. A prime example? The iPhone. At the 2007\n  Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple discussed a “pretty sweet”\n  way of developing apps for the iPhone: Web apps. While the Apple\n  executives onstage spoke of the potential and power of Web apps,\n  many developers and users groaned. They didn’t just want Web apps,\n  they wanted real apps—apps that could take full advantage of the\n  technology the iPhone offered.\n\n\n\n(As an aside, in the 2007 WWDC keynote, Steve Jobs didn’t describe writing web apps as a “pretty sweet” solution for developers who wanted to write software for the iPhone; he described it as a “very sweet solution”. I described it as a “shit sandwich”.)\n\n\nMediati was right that not just developers but users wanted native third party apps for the iPhone. The difference from what Google is promising with Chrome, however, is that web apps will be the native apps on the system. Presumably all of the default applications from Google itself will themselves be the Google web apps we already know. It’s an eating-your-own-dog-food issue. What irked about Apple’s endorsement of iPhone-optimized web apps as a “really sweet solution” was that, of course, none of the iPhone’s built-in apps were web apps. They were all written in Objective-C with Cocoa Touch. Apple’s own iPhone apps set a high bar for user experience — a height that could not (and still can’t) be reached with web apps running in MobileSafari.\n\n\nChrome OS sounds a lot more like Palm’s WebOS than it does the iPhone. Palm isn’t just telling third-party developers to write apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, they’re doing it themselves with the WebOS’s built-in apps. In fact, considering how web-app centric Google is and always has been, Palm’s WebOS is fundamentally more Google-y than Android, a platform where native apps are written in Java.\n\n\nOne thing to note regarding WebOS, too, is that while a WebOS app is written with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and runs within a WebKit frame, it can do more than a regular “web app” running in a browser. The runtime exposes additional JavaScript APIs specific to the WebOS environment. Regular web apps — ones you “run” by telling a regular web browser to load via a URL — can’t do things like access the hardware camera or post one of those cool WebOS system-wide notifications at the bottom of the screen. Or, taking the flip side, you couldn’t just take a WebOS app and run it in a web browser on any other platform. There’s a big potential difference between “web apps” and “apps written using web technologies”. If you’re a programmer, I’m sure you understand that; if you’re not, I worry that it sounds like semantic hair-splitting. The best example I can think of are Mac OS X Dashboard widgets: they too are written using HTML, CSS, and JavaScipt, but they don’t work anywhere other than Mac OS X.\n\n\nI presume that there will be similar Chrome OS-specific APIs for web apps optimized to run on Chrome. But who knows? From the description in the announcement, it sounds like Chrome OS “apps” really could just be web pages. Will it support things like importing photos and videos from a camera? Again, I presume so. But then what gets stored locally and what gets stored remotely, on Google-managed servers in the quote-unquote “cloud”? Something would have to be stored locally, because uploading video (and even just full-size photos) over the Internet can be slow and expensive.\n\n\nThe Driver Issue\n\nMicrosoft has to deal with a veritable mountain of device drivers because Windows has to run on every “Windows PC”. But Microsoft made this problem for themselves. It is Microsoft that decided Windows would run everywhere on everything. No one says Chrome OS is going to run on all, or even most PCs. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s only supported for use on new PCs that are specifically certified to work with it. Hence the hardware partner list in the otherwise almost information-less “Chrome OS FAQ” Google posted tonight.\n\n\nChrome Will Not Be a ‘Linux Distribution’\n\nRenai LeMay’s “No Thanks Google, We’ve Got Ubuntu” captures another common reaction to Chrome:\n\n\n\n  In this context, Google’s decision to create its own Linux\n  distribution and splinter the Linux community decisively once\n  again can only be seen as foolhardy and self-obsessive.\n\n  \n  Instead of treading its own path, Google should have sought to\n  leverage the stellar work already carried out by Mark Shuttleworth\n  and his band of merry coders and tied its horse to the Ubuntu cart.\n\n\n\n“Linux” means different things to different people. At a precise technical level, Linux is not an operating system. It is a kernel that can serve as the core for an operating system. What most people mean by “Linux”, though, is an operating system built around the Linux kernel. For use as a desktop PC operating system, all the various “Linux distributions” are basically the same thing: variations of Gnome or KDE sitting atop the ancient X Window System.\n\n\nUbuntu is almost certainly the pinnacle of these distributions, but they’re all conceptually the same thing, and the only significant difference is the choice between Gnome and KDE, and even there you’re just choosing between two different environments that are conceptually modeled after Microsoft Windows. The entire X Windows/Gnome/KDE “desktop Linux” racket has never caught any traction with real people.  Almost no one wanted it, wants it, or will want it.\n\n\nMy theory on this is rather simple. Early versions of Gnome and KDE were pretty much just clones of the Microsoft Windows UI. They’ve diverged since then, and I’d say Ubuntu’s default Gnome desktop is in most ways better from a design and usability standpoint than Windows Vista. But it’s still fundamentally a clone of Windows — menu bars within the window, minimize/maximize/close buttons at the top right of the window, the ugly single-character underlines in menu and button names. At a glance it looks like Windows with a different theme. The idea being that if you want Windows users to switch to Gnome or KDE, you’ve got to make it feel familiar. But that’s not how you get people to switch to a new product. People won’t switch to something that’s just a little bit better than what they’re used to. People switch when they see something that is way better, holy shit better, wow, this is like ten times better.2\n\n\nSo I think Gnome and KDE are stuck with a problem similar to the uncanny valley. By establishing a conceptual framework that mimicks Windows, they can never really be that much different than Windows, and if they’re not that much different, they can never be that much better. If you want to make something a lot better, you’ve got to make something a lot different.\n\n\nWhatever Chrome OS turns out to be, it isn’t going to be that kind of “Linux”. They’re using the Linux kernel, yes, but they’re building something new and original on top of that. Linux is to Chrome OS what BSD is to Apple’s iPhone OS — which is to say something that users will never see, smell, or notice.\n\n\nEverything from TiVo to Palm’s WebOS uses Linux as the kernel for its operating system — using the commodity underlying operating system (in the comp-sci sense of the term) and ignoring the commodity user interface systems. Here’s the telling line from Google’s announcement:\n\n\n\n  The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within\n  a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel.\n\n\n\nFrom a user-level perspective, Chrome isn’t going to look, act, or work anything like Windows. And that’s why Google has a chance to make something that might actually prove popular in a way that Ubuntu hasn’t.\n\n\nAn Odd Name\n\nI’m sure what I’m about to suggest is anathema to Google employees, but in addition to the sky high vapor-to-bits ratio, there’s another aspect of the Chrome OS announcement that reminds me of Microsoft: the name. In the same way that Microsoft has used “Windows” to describe very different things — both a computer operating system and an online suite of web apps — Google is now using “Chrome” to describe two very different things.\n\n\nA web browser is very different from an OS, even if the OS only runs the browser. Google themselves recently conducted a survey that suggests that most regular people do not understand at all what a “web browser” is. If regular people are confused about what a browser is, it’s a good bet they’re even more confused about what an “OS” is. Calling them both “Chrome” isn’t going to help clarify the matter. Install Chrome the browser on your PC and if you don’t like it, you can delete it and you’re right back where you were. Install Chrome the OS on your PC and if you don’t like it, you can delete it and you have a blank hard drive. I’m not predicting that people will mistakenly install one when they meant to install the other; I’m just saying that significantly different things should have significantly different names.\n\n\nClient-Services, Not Client-Server\n\nThere have been numerous client-server systems throughout the history of the computer industry. Some popular; some not. The basic idea behind all of them is that you have many cheap client machines that users actually sit in front of, connected to a few expensive server machines that do most of the actual computing. The complexity is almost entirely on the server side, managed, presumably, by professional experts. A single client machine, unconnected to the network, is pretty much useless.\n\n\nChrome OS is in many ways a return to that model. Web apps largely consist of server-side code, with a relatively thin layer of JavaScript that runs on the client. Data, too, mostly resides on the network, not the client machine.\n\n\nBut there’s a big difference. The Chrome OS model isn’t about thin clients connecting to a server. It’s about thin clients connecting to many and any servers. One of the few sure things about Chrome OS is that it’s going to work well with Google’s own web apps, but the web is open, and Google is a strong proponent of open web standards. Everyone will have the opportunity to write web apps that run just as well in Chrome OS as Google’s own.\n\n\nAt an abstract level, there is much appeal to this concept. With all of your data and all of the software you use online, you have nothing to back up. Nothing to migrate when you buy a new computer — just log in from a different Chrome OS machine and there’s all your stuff.\n\n\nBut at a practical level, how well will this actually work? Is it feasible to use Chrome OS as your sole computer? If not, how big is the market for “secondary” computers, especially as (a) more and more people buy laptops to serve as their primary machines, and (b) more and more people buy iPhones and Pres and Android-based mobile phones? I say: not very big. In short, will Chrome OS pass the dog food test: is it something Google’s own engineers will want to use?\n\n\nI’m skeptical about the prospects of any new system or product that isn’t intended for use by the people creating it. Gmail, for example, is the best web mail system because it was designed to be used not just by “typical” users but by expert users, including the engineers at Google who made it. The iPhone is simple enough to appeal to almost anyone, but guess which phone the people who created it use?\n\n\nMake something intended not for your own use, but for use by dummies, and you’ll usually wind up creating something dumb. The future of computing probably is in the direction of thin clients connecting to network services for storage and software, but my hunch is that Chrome OS is too thin.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOr, perhaps, it will entail rather than would have entailed, as I’m not convinced that the existence of Chrome OS precludes Google from also releasing a PC version of Android. It sure would be odd for Google to produce two competing netbook-optimized OSes, but what little we do know about Chrome OS so far is, well, a little odd. And because they’re both open source, it could be that Android continues evolving into a credible PC OS through community effort alone. ↩\n\n\n\n\nThe group that’s the most enthusiastic about Gnome and KDE desktop Linux systems consists of those who care the most about the political and licensing aspects. With regard to the freedoms that stem from the software being open source, something like Ubuntu isn’t just, say, ten times better than Windows or Mac OS X, it is infinitely better. ↩\n\n\n\n\n","saved":"2009-07-14T17:16:55Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"11efe00bb8243d0b49a3008883ac86d7","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f55af197d006/","kind":"page"},

We’ve released this project at an early, research stage to get feedback from the security and broader open-source communities. We believe that Native Client technology will someday help web developers to create richer and more dynamic browser-based applications.\n\n\n\nCould be this is part of Google’s plan for Chrome OS. But then again, maybe not — it’s unclear how much coordination there is across various teams at Google. But if it is, then so much for Chrome OS being “just web apps”. Native Client is ambitious and interesting, but native x86 code is a far cry from “web apps”.\n\n\n(And if Native Client is limited to x86 code, that would rule it out for use in Chrome OS, since Google has stated that Chrome OS will run on both ARM and x86 systems. Update: According to slide 26 in this presentation from I/O, they plan to bring Native Client to x86-64 and ARM in the future.)\n\n\n\n ★ \n","saved":"2009-07-11T18:14:09Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4c6112a4900c3f2942a2e7a5afa4f1d9","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/20c9c05bc0ba/","kind":"page"},

Even applications that would seem to be wholly gratuitous and obvious ripoffs of other companies' IP might make it past the first round of Apple's scrutiny, only to be abruptly pulled under threat of litigation. \n \nApps that leverage content from websites and online services have another hurdle to clear: they may run afoul of trademark or licensing restrictions that prevent them from doing particular things with data from those third parties... things like, ferinstance, using that data on mobile devices.This all brings us to Scenario D: the 'D' is for Delicious, and it's Delicious Monster's iPhone version of Library that's undergoing an unwelcome and rapid yanking from the App Store -- and believe it or not, Apple has nothing to do with it. Earlier today, Head Monster Wil Shipley announced that the iPhone app is on indefinite suspension and is no longer for sale; this is the consequence of a particular clause in the Amazon API terms and conditions. Part 4(e) of Amazon's agreement, which Shipley is a party to due to the desktop DL app's reliance on Amazon for book and DVD data, reads as follows:(e) You will not, without our express prior written approval requested via  this link  , use any Product Advertising Content on or in connection with any site or application designed or intended for use with a mobile phone or other handheld device.Amazon gave D-M an ultimatum: pull the iPhone app, or lose the API access for the desktop version of Library. Despite Shipley's requests for a mobile device exception, the big A did not relent. It's not 100% clear why Amazon chose to enforce this clause now, nor why the company is not providing exceptions to developers. We have an email in to their press office to inquire.If you've got DL on your iPhone already, enjoy.

It's a three-week race, starting on the first Saturday in July, that includes about 20 daily stages, and two rest days. There are two other 3-week Grand Tours in cycling, the Vuelta á España in September, and the Giro d'Italia in May, but the Tour draws more fan and sponsorship interest than either of those.\n\n\nEven though an individual wins a bicycle race, the sport is really contested by teams. Having a team to shelter the leader, from the wind, from mechanicals, and from having to chase every attack up the road, can make all the difference in a team leader's chances.\n\n\nOne of the things that makes a stage race unique in sports is the variety of different contests going on at the same time. Twenty teams and 180 riders will take the start today in Monaco, but only one will take the overall victory, and many teams have only faint hopes of even competing for the overall. Recognizing that, Grand Tour organizers run a number of different competitions within their races.\nMost obviously, there's a stage winner each day. Usually, that's simply the rider who crosses the stage's finish line first. In a time trial, riders make a staggered start over a set course, with the rider who finishes in the least time declared the winner. In the team time trial (this year, that's Tuesday's Stage 4), the winner will be the team whose 5th rider crosses the finish line in the least time. Why 5th? To discourage teams from resting riders or sheltering them from the maximum effort of the team time trial.\n\n\nWinning a Tour stage is a highlight of many riders' careers. Only 10  Americans have ever won Tour stages, from Jeff Pierce back in 1987 to Levi Leipheimer in 2007. Lance Armstrong has 25 career stage wins.\n\n\nEach day, race officials also name a “most agressive rider”. This should be a rider who shook things up on the stage, by riding away from the main group of riders (called the “peloton” for “ball of wool”) or, often, a French rider who participated in a breakaway group. That rider gets special red race numbers (a “dossard” in French) to wear during the next stage. At the end of the overall race, a rider is named “most agressive” for the Tour.\n\n\nThere are also 5 parallel competitions being contested through the entire Tour. The most famous is the yellow jersey (maillot jaune), or overall leader's jersey. The rider with the lowest elaspsed time over all the stages run is awarded a yellow jersey to wear during the next stage. Sometimes, a rider is referred to as the “yellow jersey on the road” – that means that this rider is the best placed rider in a breakaway group that leads the previous race leader by more time than that rider's previous deficit. In other words, if conditions held as they are, that rider would take over the race lead. Five Americans have worn the yellow jersey at some point during the race: Greg Lemond, Lance Armstrong, George Hincapie, Dave Zabriskie, and Floyd Landis. Note that there's no requirement for a yellow jersey to have won a stage. If he can make the lowest overall time by staying close to stage winners, that's good enough, and Greg Lemond, among others, won a Tour without winning a single stage. Yellow jersey candidates must be good in the mountains and on the Tour's time trials, the two venues that create most of the time gaps between riders.\n\n\nProbably the next most prestigious is the green jersey, which is awarded to the rider who amasses the most points at sprint lines throughout the course. Many teams carry specialist sprinters, sometimes with one or more “lead-out men,” who are fairly strong sprinters themselves, and give their all to put a teammate at the front of a bunch in the last 200-300 meters of a stage. Points are awarded for the top finishers in flat stages, with the stage winner taking maximum points, and a sliding point scale that may go 20 riders deep. There are also intermediate sprints in the middle of many stages, which work the same way. The first rider to the sprint line receives maximum points, decreasing by place down to one point. Last year, the green jersey was won by Oscar Freire of Rabobank, but this year, 2007 winner Tom Boonen and Columbia phenom Mark Cavendish look like more likely candidates.\n\n\nThe King of the Mountains jersey is white with red polka-dots. Riders receive points for being among the first to reach mountain summits on the Tour's mountain stages. Again, the first rider to the summit receives maximum points, tapering to 1 point, with more points on climbs deemed hors categorie, or “beyond classification,” and fewer at lower categorized (in decreasing order: HC, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th Category) climbs.\n\n\nThe white jersey goes to the rider under 25 who is highest placed in the overall standings. Last year, Saxo Bank's Andy Schleck won the white jersey competition, and he's a candidate for the overall win, and to repeat in the white jersey.\n\n\nFinally, each day, organizers total the times of each team's first three finishers, and the team with the lowest overall total leads the Team Classification. Note that each day can feature different riders, but the first three from that team are totalled for this competition. The leading team each day is awarded race numbers with a yellow background, instead of the usual white.\n\n\nUnofficially, fans also track the overall last-placed rider in the Tour, who is called the lanterne rouge in comparison with the red lantern that used to hang from the caboose of a train. Wim Vansevenant of Silence-Lotto was the Tour's lanterne rouge a record three times consecutively from 2006 through 2008, but retired after last season, making room for a new red lantern.\n\n\nIt's the ad hoc alliances and shifting rider and team strategies that make a stage race fascinating.\n\n\nStrategies\n\nThe existence of all these competitions and stages makes for many alliances on the road. Different teams have different Tour objectives, and so adopt different strategies. During the flatter stages, teams with outstanding sprinters like Tom Boonen, Mark Cavendish, and Thor Hushovd, are likely to work to reel in any breakaway, setting up a sprint finish that favors their fast men.\n\n\nAs the race progresses, responsibility for chasing down breakaways typically falls to the team of the leader, or sometimes to teams who will see a rider in the breakaway as a threat to their well-placed riders. Late in the Tour, for instance, a team with a 3rd-place rider will tear its lungs out to keep the 4th-place rider from getting up the road, and endangering their man's podium placing.\n\n\nTeams without good prospects in the overall will find other goals: Stages that might favor their best climber, breaks where they can get a disproportionate number of riders from their own team, or a chance to launch a climbing specialist on a day-long solo expedition, where he can collect a jerseyful of King of the Mountain points.\n\n\nThe rate of success in a breakaway is low, but it's better than that for a rider in the peloton. If you get a rider in a 5-man break, you've got a one-in-five chance if the break succeeds, while you've got a one-in-twenty (20 teams riding this year) chance in the pack.\n\n\nAlso:\n\n\nTdFblog | Beginners guide to the Tour de France (updated 2003)\n\n\nThis is the original version of my “Beginner's Guide,” with answers to a lot of questions from readers.\n\n\nWikipedia | 2008 Tour de France Prize Money\n\n\nTour de France Lanterne Rouge - A blog dedicated to the fight for last place in the Tour\n\n\n","saved":"2009-07-07T15:29:56Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e1cce6735e20d320e6427285682647eb","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e24d46070203/","kind":"page"},

Apple reported 5,200 WWDC attendees this year, and, to me, it once again felt more crowded than ever before. Sun reported three times as many attendees for JavaOne. Comparing any two conferences, especially long-standing ones such as JavaOne and WWDC, is apples-to-oranges, but there’s no denying that JavaOne has been at least as big a deal for Sun’s developer community as WWDC has been for Apple’s.\n\n\nBut now that Sun is in the midst of being folded into Oracle, it’s an open question as to whether there will even be another JavaOne. Even if there is another, it will surely be different than ever before, coming as it must in a future where Sun is a subsidiary of Oracle rather than a standalone industry titan. (As a complete outsider to the Sun and Java communities, I found Tim Bray’s elegiac JavaOne coverage to be compelling.)\n\n\nTo crudely paraphrase Dylan, a conference not busy being born is busy dying. WWDC is busy being born. The gestalt of the conference, and of Apple’s developer community, is very much in flux. Not just changing but growing. Between the Newton and iPhone eras, WWDC was effectively a Mac developer conference. That’s no longer the case, and with each passing year there’s a palpable difference to the vibe. (And it’s not just because of the iPhone, either. There are now a series of good sessions each year for web developers targeting WebKit.)\n\n\nTwo years ago, on the cusp of the iPhone’s release, was the last of the mostly-all-Mac WWDCs. The vibe that year boiled down to “I hope they let us write native apps for this thing.”\n\n\nBoth this year and last, there have been single sessions whose titles epitomized that year’s conference. Last year, the first year with an iPhone development track, that session was titled “Intro to Mac OS X”. It’s hard to imagine such a session title even one year earlier at WWDC, but I walked by that session last year just to see how crowded it was, and the line to get in ran out the door and down the hall all the way to the escalators. They had to turn people away. (Apple replayed the session on video later in the week and the replay filled to capacity, too.)\n\n\nThis year, the emblematic session was titled “Mac Programming for iPhone Developers”. I’m not even sure what to say about that, other than to confirm that anecdotal evidence suggests that new-to-Apple iPhone developers are indeed very much interested in developing for the Mac now, too.\n\n\nOn the whole, there was a palpable sense that the iPhone is a peer to the Mac in Apple’s eyes. This isn’t about counting how many sessions were devoted to each. Nor is it an indication that the Mac as a platform is slowing. Quite the opposite in fact — Apple is selling more Macs than ever, and, knock on wood, there’s a strong consensus amongst developers that Snow Leopard is going to be the best release of Mac OS X yet. It’s simply that for however fast the Mac is growing, the iPhone is growing far faster.\n\n\nBut the two platforms are symbiotically intertwined. The Monday schedule at WWDC is static. In the morning comes the keynote, which the press attends and where all public announcements are made. After lunch, though, there comes what is effectively a second keynote, this time with material aimed squarely at developers. A technical keynote, as compared to the morning’s marketing keynote, if you will. This technical keynote has for as long as I can remember been titled “Mac OS X State of the Union”. This year the title changed to “Core OS State of the Union”.\n\n\nHence the symbiosis: Apple now has two full-fledged developer platforms, Mac OS X and iPhone OS, derived from one core system. Neither felt more important than the other this year at WWDC, which is remarkable considering that one of them hadn’t even shipped two years ago.\n\n\nBut look at their vectors — their relative rates of growth — and ponder how much longer until WWDC begins to feel like an iPhone developer conference with a Mac developer track. My answer: next year. In other words, I think it will have taken just three years for the iPhone to supplant the Mac as Apple’s primary platform. By 2011 it will be obvious.\n\n\nIt’s simply a matter of users. During Phil Schiller’s keynote, he showed a graph of the “OS X” user base over time, with steady growth over the first part of this decade followed by a sharp jump from 25 to 75 million over the past two years. This figure was widely mis-cited, however, as showing growth in “Mac OS X” users. It did not. The graph said “OS X”, not “Mac OS X”, and what Apple meant to show were the combined number of users of Mac OS X and iPhone OS. It was a very misleading and poorly-designed chart.\n\n\nThe other relevant number from the keynote: 40 million total iPhones and iPod Touches sold to date. Clearly that’s not quite the same thing as 40 million iPhone OS users, given that some of us have already bought several devices, but it’s in the ballpark. So, as of last week, Apple estimates that there about the same number of iPhone OS users as Mac OS X users.\n\n\nNow consider what those numbers will look like a year from now, 12 months after the iPhone’s entry price dropped to $99.\n","saved":"2009-06-17T11:00:33Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"f1bf85462b626e83698433f82ced1f1a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/10229eccfd34/","kind":"page"},

Although the free app will officially be announced at that time, availability is totally dependent on the whims of the App Store. Rose's leak of the app's impending release did not include any precognition of when the app will actually make it into our hands, nor was price information available.Mashable notes that TweetDeck for iPhone reflects many of the features of the desktop version, including multiple column-based friend groups and a beautiful user interface. TweetDeck for iPhone syncs with the desktop version, and is expected to provide the following features:\n\n    Shake to refresh\n    Support for multiple accounts\n    Flick to move between columns\n    Status updates similar to Facebook toolbar\n\nIt was mentioned in our email discussions about this app that it's interesting to see a Cocoa Touch version of Tweetdeck before a Cocoa (Mac OS X) version; the desktop app is cross-platform and runs atop the Adobe AIR framework. Whether TweetDeck has the mojo to kick Twittelator off of my iPhone home screen remains to be seen. How about you, TUAW readers?

Yesterday, as part of a post about the new game Trains, I asked for everyone's high scores, and I thought we were doing well.\n\nCommenter DJ won our informal competition (no prizes, sorry, beyond the satisfaction of a job well done) with a score of 1036. Dan came in second with 575. Rounding out the top three was Matthew with a high of 275.\n\nNow, however, with the latest update, your high scores can be uploaded to cloudcell.com, home of high scores for not only Flight Control, but Real Racing and Fast & Furious. There, it's clear that TUAW readers have much better things to do than play Flight Control all day.\n\nJust a few hours ago, a user named TommyRoissy landed 14,439 aircraft before two of them collided. Ridonkulous. Our own Mike Rose speculates that some are playing the game inside the iPhone SDK's simulator mode to gain higher scores. I agree -- pair simulator mode with a graphics tablet, and you've got yourself quite the landing machine. Thanks to our commenters for correcting this; it's not technically possible to run purchased iPhone apps in the Xcode simulator, as it cannot emulate the iPhone's ARM processor.\n\nEven so, that's a lot of time spent playing Flight Control. I mean, it's a good game, but let's say the average landing time is five seconds. 14,439 landings is over 72,000 seconds -- or 20 hours -- of playing time. I'm certain there's some pauses in there, but that's still a lot of landing.\nTUAWThink you're good at Flight Control? originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:00:00 EST.

So I figured I’d better write a post about it.\n\n\nHere’s the scoop: both versions are in extremely active development. I’m currently working on NetNewsWire 3.2 and 4.0 for Mac and NetNewsWire 2.0 for iPhone.\n\n\nI recently set up Twitter accounts for them: NetNewsWire/Mac and NetNewsWire/iPhone. I haven’t posted much yet, but I will. (You can also follow my personal account, but I often post things that have nothing to do with NetNewsWire. And I can’t do support via Twitter via any of the accounts.)\n\n\nI don’t have time estimates — any guesses would be completely wrong. But nobody’s more impatient than I am.\n\n\nWhat’s coming\n\nYou may have seen the FeedDemon beta with Google Reader syncing.\n\n\nThe plan is to add Google Reader syncing to NetNewsWire 3.2/Mac and NetNewsWire 2.0/iPhone also. I can’t promise for sure for-sure, but I’m 95% sure.\n\n\nMore about NetNewsWire 3.2/Mac\n\nThis version, as the number suggests, isn’t a huge upgrade — the main thing is Google Reader syncing. (Plus a couple small features and some bug fixes.) It will be a transitional release — it drops a bunch of stuff, gets leaner, and moves some of the data storage over to the format 4.0 will use.\n\n\nHere’s what it drops: Tiger support is gone — it will require 10.5 or greater. The DotMac/FTP syncing and Bloglines syncing are gone. Some little features like the Send Email to Author command are gone.\n\n\nMy favorite part is under-the-hood — dropping code I don’t need for Tiger support, mostly. Switching to ObjC 2.0 properties, especially.\n\n\nMore about NetNewsWire 4.0/Mac\n\nWork on 4.0 is in parallel with other work — but it’s farther behind. It will also be a bigger upgrade.\n\n\nI’d talk about what’s going to be in it, but it’s too soon.\n\n\nWell, I can talk some technical stuff: I plan to move storage completely over to Core Data and I’d like to turn on garbage collection.\n\n\nMore about NetNewsWire 2.0/iPhone\n\nIt’s a race — I don’t know which will ship first, NetNewsWire 2.0/iPhone or NetNewsWire 3.2/Mac.\n\n\nI’ve spent the last six months or so mostly in iPhone-land, working on the foundation for NetNewsWire 2.0. Along the way we discovered it was generalizable and that there’s a business doing private-label apps based on the same foundation that will power NetNewsWire 2.0. The highest-profile example is All Things Digital — if you use it, you are in a way using an early version of NetNewsWire 2.0.\n\n\nIt turns out that learning how to do good news readers on iPhone is harder than I expected. Almost the entire ballgame is about performance.\n\n\nThink of all that a Twitter client has to do — then imagine running 100 Twitter clients at once. I think I’ve spent about 3 man-months just in Shark and Instruments, figuring out how to scale and perform well on the iPhone, which is for real a new platform, even though we still get to write in Cocoa.\n\n\n(Another thing I spent a lot of time on was UI. NetNewsWire 1.0 for iPhone is quite spartan, you’ve noticed.)\n\n\nAnyway, the plan is to add Google Reader syncing for NetNewsWire 2.0 — and a few other things, which I don’t have time to write about now.\n\n\nBut it’s all new — taken apart, scrapped, put back together, taken apart again, written anew, etc.\n\n\nWWDC\n\nSo, if you see me at WWDC, tell me how your stuff is going. I’m interested. And now you already know how it’s going with NetNewsWire. :)\n","saved":"2009-06-07T11:03:27Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a1d490c4040f403d31b532af97e5c797","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c346f46dd0ea/","kind":"page"},

Part of this speed can be attributed to the company’s obsession with minimalist design and its vast server farms, but you can be sure there’s no shortage of optimization that’s going on to make sure pages load as quickly as possible on the front end, too.\n\nTo help streamline its sites, Google has been using an internal tool called Page Speed, and starting today it’s opening up the tool to the developer community.  The newly open-sourced tool is a Firefox plugin that integrates with Firebug, making suggestions on how to speed up your site based on best practices.  \n\nFrom the Google blog post:\n\nFor example, Page Speed automatically optimizes images for you, giving you a compressed image that you can use immediately on your web site.

Many Iowans expend their lives sweating over soil and spilling the blood of livestock; they endure the hardships associated with a life inextricably bound to the ups and downs of nature.

Those left in the wake of this out-migration continue their lives, seemingly unchanged from the generations that preceded them, and entombed in obscurity.\n\nThe tension of contemporary rural life plays out here: the struggle of a family farm to continue, disenfranchised youth, the slaughterhouse, migrant labor, and the aged fading from Iowas mythical landscape.

That exploration has taken many shapes: bringing together a community at The Start Conference, working with our friends at Twitter for a few months, and digging deep into data with Wikirank. Now we’re focusing on an entirely new idea, and we’d like to share that with you. It’s called Typekit.\n\nWe’ve been following developments in web browsers very closely, looking for new and smarter ways to build stuff. Last fall, we started seeing renewed interest in linking to fonts via Cascading Stylesheets. While the W3C working draft has been around for years, a new wave of browser support will finally offer designers more control over fonts on the web. A particularly cogent article from John Allsopp, followed by frequent conversations with him, helped us understand that there was a significant opportunity here.\n\nWeb fonts today\nSo here’s the situation: Every major browser is about to support the ability to link to a font. That means you can write a bit of CSS, include a URL to a font file, and have your page display with the typography you expect. For designers and developers, this is a significant step forward. No longer will you need to trap your content in images or Flash just to express yourself visually. Pages will be more usable, accessible, and indexable. This is a massive upgrade for the web.\n\nBut there’s a problem. While it’s technically quite easy to link to fonts, it’s legally more nuanced. Almost all fonts are protected by copyright — even those available for free — and very few of them allow for linking via CSS or redistribution on the web. This is understandable; font files represent countless hours of finely detailed labor. Appropriately, type designers are concerned that they’ll lose control of all that hard work.\n\nThe Typekit solution\nThat’s where Typekit comes in. We’ve been working with foundries to develop a consistent web-only font linking license. We’ve built a technology platform that lets us to host both free and commercial fonts in a way that is incredibly fast, smoothes out differences in how browsers handle type, and offers the level of protection that type designers need without resorting to annoying and ineffective DRM.\n\nAs a Typekit user, you’ll have access to our library of high-quality fonts. Just add a line of JavaScript to your markup, tell us what fonts you want to use, and then craft your pages the way you always have. Except now you’ll be able to use real fonts. This really is going to change web design.\n\nWe’ll be launching this summer with a great collection of beautiful and hardworking typefaces. We’ll offer a free version of the service to get you started, and a low-cost way to grow from there. A truly scalable professional version will follow soon after.\n\nWe have a lot more to share as well. If you’d like to stay connected to what’s happening with Typekit, you can subscribe to this blog’s feed, follow us on Twitter, or sign up for a preview and we’ll let you know as soon as it’s ready.\n\n       ","saved":"2009-05-28T20:57:27Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"dde5d138689f6b230240d57b5e4607bd","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5f04cd65b0ab/","kind":"page"},

Today's announcement of a firmware update that adds manual exposure control for shooting video with the 5D Mark II is a great one to see. \n\n\nLong-time readers will know that I think that Canon short-shrifted the 5D Mark II in more than a few ways. There's a great sensor in there, but the control set should have been better. And the video mode is astounding, but the auto-exposure mode was baffling to say the least. I'd go so far as to call it a flaw. I've talked to several people using it for video that really love it except for the fact that they can't control exposure. Having the exposure bounce around in variable light conditions isn't what you want most of the time. This update should fix that nicely for those that want to shoot in full-up manual mode.\n\n\nAnnouncements on Rob Gailbraith DPI, PDN, and DPReview.

For whatever reason, I snapped a picture and tweeted it saying, “I finally feel like I have enough CF cards for just about anything life throws at me. Maybe.” \n\n\nHere’s the iPhone image, slightly blurry since there’s no Macro mode:\n\n\n\n\n\nYah. That’s 48GB of cards there. The six 4GB SanDisk Extreme III 30MBs Edition cards are the ones I bought after doing the analysis that went into my recent Flashonomics post. The others are cards that I have bought over the last year or two. The marble table top, well, that’s the desk in my room at the Fairmont. Not really my style.\n\n\nAfter posting my tweet, a load of tweets came in as replies. So many that I figured answering them in blog form might be a good idea. Here are a few answers to some of the replies:\n\n\n@brupm wrote: “does not seem enough at all. Don’t see any 32gb. ;-)”, @xxloverxx wrote:  “Get a couple 32GBs and you won’t have much to complain about =)”, and @adelcambre wrote: “Why mostly 4GB CF?”\n\n\nA couple of 32’s might be nice, but right now the 4’s and 8’s are the winners on the price/GB scale. For the Extreme III’s, it’s pretty close between the 4’s and 8’s while the 16’s cost an extra buck per GB. If you’re shopping for Extreme IV’s, the sweet spot is definitely the 8GB size. See my Flashonomics post for more details. Of course, this will change over time. \n\n\nBut there’s another reason that I trend towards 4’s and 8’s. @ahockley hits it on the head by asking, “what are your thoughts on the ‘too many images on one card’ issue and potential for failure? I’m nervous when over 200/card…” \n\n\nI too don’t like to put too many images on one card. It almost is illogical if you think about it too much as they’re all ending up on spinning media in the end. But I do make instant backups and keep those backups over time. So, it’s not quite silly to think about distributing the load over a few cards rather than concentrating them on one. A hundred to two hundred shots does seem like the sweet spot. And, this is why I ended up going with 4’s instead of 8’s even though the 8GB Extreme III currently have the slightest of edge on the price/GB scale.\n\n\nAlso in the same line of thought, @tarkin2258 tweeted, “Not sure you should keep all pics on 1 card while in the field either. Swap cards occasionally in case one fails or is confiscated.” I’m usually not worried about confiscation, but if you do ever run afoul of law enforcement somewhere and are in a situation where you have to give up a card, then giving up only one 4GB card is a lot better than handing over something larger. \n\n\n@jnouwen asked:  “Do you notice an appreciable difference between the Extreme III and IV cards?”\n\n\nI can’t say that I do in my camera. Nor do I notice any big difference when I’m pulling data from them onto my computer, at least not between the Extreme III 30MBs edition and the Extreme IV I have (which isn’t one of the new wowzers 45MBs edition cards). I do, however, notice a a difference between all these cards and my Ultra IIs. I’ve not tried to quantify it, but it’s definitely enough to sideline them for other uses.\n\n\n@twleung notes: “nope. not enough cards. evar.” and @dimsumthinking said: “Then you need a camera with higher resolution or something. Enough memory is just an ‘I dare you to cross this line’ moment.” \n\n\nTo which I reply. Yep. You can never have too many cards or enough resolution. I can’t wait till the day I get a bigger sensor (like, um, maybe a D3x class sensor in a D700-like body) and my sweet spot moves up to 8GB or 16GB cards and I have 24 megapixels to burn. :)\n","saved":"2009-05-21T04:43:11Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"88ff31b57833cd18eae04248e610b3de","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/56884be0c222/","kind":"page"},

Our software relies on \"smart meters\" (or other metering devices) as a data source. Over the past several months we've been looking to partner with utilities that are installing (or have already installed) this equipment in their customers' homes. We're energized by our very first Google PowerMeter partners:San Diego Gas & Electric® (California)TXU Energy (Texas)JEA (Florida)Reliance Energy (India)Wisconsin Public Service Corporation (Wisconsin)White River Valley Electric Cooperative (Missouri)Toronto Hydro–Electric System Limited (Canada)Glasgow EPB (Kentucky)              Our initial partners include utilities with millions of customers as well as smaller ones. They are rural and urban, privately held and municipally run. Some are in the United States, others in Canada and India. They all have one thing in common — a desire to serve their customers by providing access to detailed information that helps save energy and money. For now, Google PowerMeter is only available to a limited group of customers, but we plan to expand our roll out later this year. Our utility partners are leading the charge to make the electricity grid smarter and we look forward to working with them and others.In addition to utilities, we're also seeking partnerships with companies that can enable the implementation of our software. Our first such partner is Itron, a leading meter and data management company that serves over 8,000 utilities and is helping some of their customers, including San Diego Gas & Electric, integrate with Google PowerMeter. If you're a utility or company with a smart meter project that might be interested in plugging in to our efforts, visit our website for more information.Posted by Ed Lu, Engineering team\n \n","saved":"2009-05-21T04:37:03Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"dc62302d8f30c4ad478f204a5d07e171","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6cc108c5d138/","kind":"page"},

By the time I work up the next morning more than half the spots were spoken for, and by noon the class had sold out. People who hadn’t checked Twitter or their feed reader until lunchtime were out of luck and, much as I hated it, I had to turn people away.\n\nThe beta class — and its 75% discount — were a one time event. Furthermore, at $1200 our class already priced at the low end of the market.  However, I wanted to find a way to offer a discounted non-beta version of the class to those would-be attendees because the bulk of them were fellow hackers, would-be iPhone entrepreneurs and small-shop developers. In short, they’re people I identify with.\n\nI mentioned this conundrum to Luke Francl, who provided a hotel-and-airfare inspired pricing solution derived from the book The Economic Naturalist by Robert H. Frank:\n\nHotels and airlines provide deep discounts when the itineraries include a Saturday stay. Business travelers aren’t price-sensitive but are schedule-sensitive. They don’t shell out their own money, and when the dealing’s done they want to high-tail it back to their families. Leisure travelers, by comparison, are price-sensitive but schedule-flexible: they go out of their own pockets for travel expense and tend to include a weekend in their plans to maximize their fun-time.\n\nSo, I decided to try something similar and offer a “community edition” of the class:  at $599 it’s priced at less than half the normal cost and it’s open to anyone but, because it’s given over the weekend, it’ll likely be more attractive to fellow hackers, would-be entrepreneurs and small-shop developers than to folks who need to learn iPhone development for a large employer. Same offering, different days, discounted price.\n\nVisit this page for details on the class.\n","saved":"2009-05-21T04:33:17Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7388b4270bd88b4c7a26d4178f9809bf","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8ad2bb4e95f3/","kind":"page"},

Here’s a copy of the entire map:\n\n\n\n\n\nLooking back at this trip, it’s hard to believe that we were able to take the time to go on such a big trip. On the other hand, having just gone on a quick road trip through Southern Utah, I’m kind of itching to get back out on the road and see more of the United States. \n\n\nAt this size, it’s kind of hard to see the details, so be sure to punch through to the full sized map that shows all of the details. \n\n\nNote for the curious: I didn’t use an automated tool to make this map. Instead, I stitched together a base map using Google map image tiles, loaded that into Illustrator, and then used the good ol’ pen tool to outline the states, national parks, and roads. Then, I added in city names and road labels. Quite low tech actually, and I wasn’t careful enough to lock layers as you can tell in the shift of the National Park blocks that seems to have slipped in, but I do like the result. I should do these more often.\n","saved":"2009-05-18T20:54:21Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"491fa57426e3ba01de6039efe754e71c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a6df9024b3e5/","kind":"page"},

Maintaining the WSJ brand in how news and information is presented.\n\nWhen WSJ redesigned the online edition in 2008 they, like everyone of us, chose; Georgia, Arial, and Times New Roman. \n\nThe distinction, differentiation, and identity offline designers strive for falls completely apart online when the ability to specify the fonts online in a meaningful way.\n\nWe’ve had the technology to support this for 12 years - since 1997.\n\nWhen Netscape 4 supported TrueDoc and Internet Explorer 4 supported EOT.\n\nNetscape dropped TrueDoc support when it went open-source.\n\nMicrosoft.com hasn’t updated their Web Embedding Fonts Tool to create .eot files since 2003.\n\nSo, in the mean time, web designers have restricted themselves to the 12 Core fonts for the Web. Another now defunct project containing classic fonts - the most contemporary of which is the 12 year old - Webdings. \n\nHave we not found new ways of expressing ourselves within the past 12 years?\n\nAs of CSS3 - the @font-face declaration is officially a standard way of specifying fonts for used within web pages. \n\nEXAMPLE\n\n@font-face {\n  font-family:‘Fotin-Regular’;\n  src: url(‘/fotin.otf’);\n}\n\np {\n  font-family:‘Fotin-Regular’;\n  font-size: 3.2em;\n  letter-spacing: 1px;\n  text-align: center;\n}\n\n\nBROWSER SUPPORT\nSafari 3+ (current)\nInternet Explorer v4+ (still via .eot files)\nFirefox 3.5 (expected after Jun 2009)\nOpera v10 \n\nEOT was submitted to the W3C in March of 2008.

These online services are great (I personally use BackBlaze), but there's a monthly cost associated with them. What if you already have access to a large volume of server space?App4Mac has just announced Twin 1.0 for Mac OS X (US$39.67, 29.00), an online backup solution that works with all sorts of servers: FTP (all varieties), WebDAV, Amazon S3, and even MobileMe. Unlike many of the other online solutions, Twin claims that it retains all the Mac OS X file metadata, ACLs, and privileges, and your data is kept safe with AES-256 \"Jack Bauer quality\" encryption. In addition to the online backups, you can use Twin for backing up your files to local drives and have the backups begin when the external drive it plugged in.I'm impressed with the powerful scheduling capabilities of Twin, which include a way to use logical operators to determine exactly when backups should proceed or not. Having an offsite backup is that extra bit of security that every Mac user should have. Check out the gallery below for some screenshots of the app in action. You can also download a free, limited-capability trial of Twin if you're interested in kicking the tires. \nGallery: App4Mac Twin - Online Backup\nTUAWFirst Look: Twin 1.0 for Mac OS X originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Fri, 15 May 2009 16:30:00 EST.

The feature requires Things 1.1 on the Mac side, which was officially released today, but has actually been available (sans release notes) for about a week (assumedly waiting for Things Touch to make it through App Store approval). \n\nAnother new addition (which is more exciting, to me) is full AppleScript support in Things on the Mac. I haven't had a chance to dive into it yet, but it's a topic I discussed with Cultured Code at the last Macworld Expo and I'm excited to see it come to fruition. People using Things in any kind of group setting will appreciate the reconsidered approach to task delegation, as well.\n\nFor those who aren't familiar with Things in general, I'll take a quick step back. Things for the Mac has been a staunch competitor in the Mac task-management colosseum. Battling it out with OmniFocus and newer gladiators like The Hit List, it's been recognized by many for its simplicity and elegance. Things is powerful and flexible, while remaining reliable and simple. Things Touch is its iPhone companion, usable on its own or synced with Things Mac.\n\nYou may be asking, what's an \"Area of Responsibility?\" This is one of the features of Things which was hardest for me to grasp. It's not quite a GTD context, and it's not a folder for projects. Basically, Areas provide a flexible means of handling tasks which aren't part of a \"project\" and aren't necessarily sequential in nature. In the words of Cultured Code:\n\n\nWith an Area of Responsibility (or simply \"Area\"), you don't ask yourself about the desired outcome, but what standards you would like to maintain. An Area corresponds to an ongoing activity. These could be, for example, job responsibilities, roles you have taken on in your family, or personal responsibilities like health.\n\n\nThings is available for download as a free trial, and can be purchased for $49.95US. Things Touch, the iPhone version, is available in the App Store for $9.99US.\nTUAWThings 1.1/Things Touch 1.3.5: Area Sync originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Mon, 11 May 2009 20:45:00 EST.

More on that later, because Tim O’Reilly demonstrates some of Silicon Valley’s worst beliefs about Twitter when his conferences advertise “learn the secrets of building 100,000 + followers.” Zappos does NOT believe that is the goal of Twitter, more on that later in this post. Aside: if you want to attend a Twitter Conference that focuses on real business value and community engagement, come to 140: The Twitter Conference. (UPDATE: Tim O’Reilly wrote me and said he totally agreed with me that focusing on followers is the wrong thing to do for a Twitterer and he has removed that language from his conference materials).\n\nBefore we even got to the front door tons of employees said “hello.” That’s weird, doesn’t happen at most companies, believe it or not. And the way they greeted each other told me something else was up here.\n\n\n\nThen when we got into the front lobby we were warming greeted  again, and then as we looked around, we saw this wasn’t going to be a normal visit to a normal company. There was a book store with books free for the taking. There was a popcorn machine. A Dance Dance Revolution machine. A “hall of fame” board for employees who had pushed “reply to all” too quickly. And a video display that showed off how many sales were made yesterday. I had never been in a corporate lobby like this before.\n\nThen I hooked onto a tour given by Zappos’ Mayor, Jerry Tidmor. Oh, yeah, everyone has weird titles. Executives are called “monkeys.” One employee’s title was, simply, “fred.” Causes him a lot of fun when he tries to get a badge at conferences. UPDATE: here’s video of the beginning of that tour.\n\nAlong the way Jerry showed us office after office that was decked out with some fun weird theme. I had seen some of this at other places like Google and my new employer, Rackspace, but Zappos gets everyone into it. The lawyers’ offices even hold the Christmas tree (they have Christmas twice a year at Zappos. Why? Why not?).\n\nIn one office they set up a bowling alley. That was a lot of fun for the Rackspace employees who were here for discussions.\n\n\n\nThey are transparent with all their numbers. All employees know how they are doing and so does the public. The numbers are on a white board on the tour for all to see and take pictures of. This picture is of Jerry standing in front of the board with the up-to-date numbers.\n\nDuring a lunch session with Zappos “monkeys” we asked how they handled a recent layoff. We noted that the employees who were laid off were incredibly positive. The answer: they did it in open with everyone understanding the reasons for it. They did it fast and didn’t drag their feet. So when they did it they had enough cash to give everyone a good severance package. They said if they had waited to see if business conditions would improve they wouldn’t have been able to do that.\n\nAnyway, so what can Silicon Valley learn from Zappos?\n\n1. You don’t need to be in San Francisco to build a great company. Zappos actually started in the same building as Craig’s List. They moved to Las Vegas because it was cheaper and because they saw they could build a better company. The other half of the company is a warehouse in Kentucky. That’s there because that’s where UPS is, so they can take your order in the evening and have it on your doorstep the next day.\n\n\n\n2. Focus on culture and build something for long term. Tony’s first company, Link Exchange, was sold because it wasn’t fun anymore, he told me. That’s why he focused so much on culture when he got involved with Zappos. I see so many companies who focus on growth and get exactly what they want: an unfun fast growing company that falls apart later.\n\n3. Get rid of assholes. Zappos has a filtering system before, during, and after hiring to make sure they get rid of people who “don’t fit the culture.” That is the nice way of saying they get rid of assholes and they get rid of them quickly. They even pay candidates $2,000 after they go through training if they can admit they don’t fit into the culture.\n\n\n\n4. Get a coach. Zappos has its own coach. His name is Dr. Vic. He meets with every employee. Takes their picture. Learns what they are about and helps them get their career moving. Plus he writes a blog for everyone else’s company.\n\n5. Share with others. Zappos gives tours to everyone to share what they’ve learned. You can take the tour too, I highly recommend it if you are in Las Vegas. tours@zappos.com will get you a date and a time. Oh, did I mention they pick you up from the airport? And that they carry your bags? And that they are, well, um, nice?\n\n\n\n6. Train, train and train some more. Zappos has a whole department that puts together classes. Your pay goes up the more classes you complete. Plus they have all those free books in the lobby.\n\n7. Enable all employees to be spokespeople. Every single new hire at Zappos is asked to start a Twitter account and post a few times to it during training. After that they don’t care if you keep it up. Why do they do that? They want to rub it in that EVERYONE in the company is a public spokesperson for Zappos, not just the CEO or PR team.\n\n\n\n8. Everyone lives by same rules. During the tour we heard of a new hire that was fired during training for not showing up on time and giving some lip. This was a high level technical person that they really could have used. Silicon Valley companies would put up with that kind of behavior. Not at Zappos. Everyone, from executive recruits on down are expected to live to the same rules.\n\n9. The CEO’s office isn’t sacrosanct. Tony enouraged us to throw peanut shells on his office floor. Why? That happens every day, we learned, as tours come through. But it’s a subtle message that Tony isn’t above anyone else in the company and that his door isn’t just open, but that you can come in and mess up his work space.\n\n\n\n10. Create a welcoming culture. Every department, as we walked in, said “hi” in a different way. Here’s the casual department who waved these little clappy hands at us. Other departments had other kinds of noise makers. The Fashion department took pictures of us while they played music.\n\n\n\n11. Everyone is a VIP. Both internally and externally everyone gets the VIP treatment. This means all sorts of little things all across the company. Vendors, when they come to Zappos, get their bags carried. That wins them accounts. In our case we had our tripods and cameras carried and our every need catered to.\n\n\n\n12. Create an atmosphere for both goofiness and brilliance. Every conference room was decked out with personal touches. It gets you in the mood for creative discussions. Here Rackspace employees are meeting with Zappos employees and learning more about Zappos. Notice all the weird touches on the table, the walls. It’s hard to take yourself too seriously there.\n\n13. Root out hubris and kill it. This is mostly a note to myself, but I know lots of San Francisco companies who this could apply to just as well, too.\n\n14. Follow your employee’s and customers’ passion. How did Zappos get into clothing? Their customers and employees were passionate about it.\n\n15. Don’t be religious about what’s working. Having 400 employees on Twitter is clearly working for Zappos but Tony, at one point, told his employees to talk to me about friendfeed. They are always looking for the next idea. By the way, here’s everyone who is saying something about Zappos on friendfeed. I love this quote from Forrester’s CEO, George Colony (Tony is speaking at the Forrester Conference today): “When asked why he was on Twitter, Tony Hsieh, Zappos CEO said: “People relate to people, not companies.”\n\n16. Be religious about taking care of customers. Tony loves telling the story about when they got pizza ordered for them by Zappos help desk (they didn’t know who was calling). Every employee is empowered to take care of customers and get their problems solved.\n\n17. Reward greatness. Every employee can give a $50 bonus to any other employee. Does it get misused? Not often and when it does it’s easy to solve.\n\n18. Remember most policies are to take care of edge cases. They resist writing new policies at Zappos. When they do write a policy, they make sure it really is needed across the company. Usually policies get killed.\n\nAnyway, there is lots of posts like this one about Zappos and why this company is so interesting. I didn’t get it until I went on a tour and saw it for myself. I’m a fan for life. I wish there were more companies like Zappos. \n\nThe fact that there isn’t tells us something about us. And I don’t like what I’m learning.\n\nBack to that quote from the O’Reilly Twitter Camp home page: the goal of a good company as they get on Twitter should NOT be to get more followers. It should be to take care of customers and create an emotional attachment to the company through its people. Zappos gets this at a deep level. Boy do I wish more did.\n\nPosted in technology Tagged: Corporate Culture, innovation, Twitter, zappos      ","saved":"2009-05-02T04:08:12Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"66e8ed5b1f548f5fd3339a92a576c3fc","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d29e6a51365f/","kind":"page"},

Recently, I covered Ping.fm, which has now been joined by Italy-based HelloTxt, a similar product that allows users to update a host of social networking, social media and blogging platforms, all at once.\n\nLike Ping.fm, HelloTxt allows you to update a large number of online profiles and publishing platforms through a single entry field. (They claim to support 45 social networks as compared to 30 for Ping.fm.) Upon registering for HelloTxt, youre given the option to add your active profiles from a wide array of services, such as Twitter, Bebo and Remember The Milk.\n\nThe number of characters in the status entry field count up so that you can make sure to cut status messages off at the all-important 140 mark, to keep with Twitters character limit. A nifty feature included in the status entry area is the ability to post in the future, setting the date for a status update ahead of time.\n\nBeyond text status messages, images can be posted using your Flickr account, video via YouTube, music and audio files via Blip.fm, and streaming video via Seesmic.\n\nHelloTxt is accessible through the web, and can also be updated via email, SMS, and Google Talk. An API is also offered that allows developers to install the service on other web sites or apps, a popular trend for status update and microblogging products.\n\n\n\nIt would seem that HelloTxt is an emerging player in the status update space. The company claims that it has attained 30,000 users with no marketing to date, with 35 percent of daily status updates coming from third-party sites, through its API.\n\nLike any evolving web product, it has some rough edges that should be worked out over time. For example, after adding a product (such as Bebo) to your HelloTxt account, you can add that same account again later; an indication that youve already added it would be helpful.\n\nIt must also be noted that HelloTxts tagline, we are status, is quite catchy!\n\nWhats your take on the growing popularity of status update services such as Ping.fm and HelloTxt?","saved":"2009-05-01T05:10:39Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e6eecf7960ea467eddecd76c27819d32","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/66966c6b7bfb/","kind":"page"},

Starting out with green text on a black background, you can dive right in and get to work or tweak to your hearts content.\n\nBoth font and color scheme can be changed to your liking.  Tapping Escape will bring you back to your desktop with a basic text version of you document displayed in a window.  That window can be tweaked to display relevant information like word and page counts.  You can even add a plug-in that will add an “edit in Writeroom” option in the Edit Menu of other applications.\n\nOn the downside, being first on the block and offering a solid set of features also means that you can set your own price.  WriteRoom is currently available for the surprisingly steep price point of $24.95, with a free 30-day trial of the full version also available for download.\n\nGrade: A-\n\nJDarkRoom, Code Alchemists, FREE\n\nThe release of JDarkRoom owes a lot to it’s predecessor.  JDarkRoom is the Java-based alternative to DarkRoom, a Windows-only WriteRoom clone that ran on the .NET framework.  Looking for something that worked outside of .NET, the coder behind JDarkRoom inadvertantly created a program that could work across all three major OS’s (Windows, Mac, Linux).  That’s how I first came across this — looking for a WriteRoom alternative for my Windows-box.  And on Windows, it performs exactly as you’d want it to.  But on the Mac?\n\nIt appears the free alternative to WriteRoom is a glitchy mess.  The first thing you see when firing up JDarkRoom is a message letting you know Command-SHIFT should bring up the help menu.  It doesn’t.  Having experience with the Windows version, I tried F5.  That worked.  Getting out of the help menu though?  Impossible.  It treats the help menu like it a document you want to modify.  You’ll need to quit the program to get out of it, thereby losing any work you may have done to that point.  Many of the commands in the help menu, such as accessing the options screen, line and word count, or inserting the date and time either work sporadically or don’t work at all.  As well, I wasn’t able to ALT-TAB out to other programs, as JDarkRoom continued to block my desktop when I tried.\n\nThe bare bones of the program, writing and saving files, works fine.  Anything beyond that is a disaster.  While the  entire idea behind minimalist word processing is to do nothing more than write, there are some basic tweaks and commands that are required to make that experience complete, and they just can’t be relied upon in the Mac version of jDarkRoom.  If this were this Windows version it would get a stellar A+ grade.  But it’s not.\n\nGrade: D\n\nConclusion\n\nWhat we had expected to be comparing were two programs with a nigh-indistinguishable set of features.  Unfortunately jDarkRoom couldn’t live up to the promise.  While the Windows version offers a solid alternative, that’s just not something that’s going to be of much use to our readership.  WriteRoom offers a complete set of features, a bug free experience, and the quiet solace you’re looking for when writing. The $24.95 price tag may be less than attractive, but after trying the 30-day free trial you’ll be hard pressed to go back to the days of desktop distraction.\n\nRecommendation: WriteRoom\n\n\n  \n","saved":"2009-05-01T04:05:04Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4058f9825b2212735eca0d3d36579b8c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/509e839935a1/","kind":"page"},

Just 32 percent of Americans think global warming will harm them \"a great deal\" or a \"a moderate amount\" personally.  The further we get out from the individual, however, the more impactful people think climate change will tend to be: more impactful on their families than themselves; more impactful on their communities than their families; more impactful on their country than their communities; more impactful than other counties than on the United States; more impactful on future generations than the present one, and finally, more impactful on plants and animals than on humans.These beliefs are not necessarily irrational.  Climate change probably will have more impact on the developing world than the developed one, and it almost certainly will have more impact on our children than it does on ourselves.Nevertheless, the fact that fewer than a third of Americans are worried about the effects that climate change will have on them personally strikes me as significant.   Although more aggressive policy responses on climate change generally poll fairly well, they are also often the first things to be sacrificed in Americans' minds when something else intervenes, such as a recession or higher energy prices.  Advocates of cap-and-trade may need to find ways to personalize the terms of the debate.","saved":"2009-04-28T15:49:34Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"9125c4f7a871da31cf17e9cf3e763d59","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0b328bd33099/","kind":"page"},

As many of you know, JanRain launched its RPX solution to easily enable websites to accept both OpenIDs and proprietary protocols like Facebook Connect and Windows Live IDs.

It's the Packaging","note":"Amid the news industry's crisis and the attendant fingerpointing over the causes, there is seemingly endless discussion these days of the pros and cons of things like micropayments, pay walls, aggregators, Google and the like. \n\"We're being ripped off by Google and the aggregators,\" say the traditionalists. \"We need to find some way to make people pay for our journalism. Otherwise we can't support newsrooms full of reporters and great investigative projects.\"\"Google is not the enemy—it's driving traffic to news,\" say the modernists (including me). \"You can't put the genie back in the bottle and get people to pay for news. There's too much competition from free sources.\"But maybe we're all looking at this through the wrong end of the telescope—or rather, the microscope. Maybe there is something in the news business that people might want to pay for. It's just not what some of the pay-proponents think it is. Maybe—maybe—the thing you can charge for is the package the news comes in, not the specific news items themselves.Let me explain.The focus of the pro-payment crowd seems to be coalescing on getting people to pay for news by the story. They generally concede (thank God) that so much news is commoditized that it's all but impossible to slap a pay wall on an entire news site. But maybe it's possible, they hope and pray, that people will buy news by the bite, paying to read particular stories and even—in some of the wildest fantasies—paying to forward those stories to their friends (good luck with that).But you know what? Nobody's ever bought news by the story. This isn't iTunes, as Clay Shirky and others have pointed out, where you buy something you keep and want to enjoy over and over. News is ephemeral, and the sell-by date is generally measured in hours. Nobody's going to keep a copy of even the best news story, just for posterity (except maybe the reporter's mother). As Jack Shafer points out, there are so many ways to evade a subscription wall—many of them with rich traditions in journalism—that it will be impossible to maintain the exclusivity needed to make such a scheme work.What people do buy are packages of news, often supported by other, non-news content. Journalists don't always like to think about this, but the reasons for subscribing to a newspaper often are as much about the comics, the crosswords and the ads as they are about the news itself. That's what people plunk down their quarters for: the package, not the story. News collected in a convenient, easy-to-use form that adds value.So maybe we need to figure out how to replicate those traditional collections of news by creating compelling online packages that people will want to pay for. When it's so easy to find free news all over the Web, the advantage may be in bringing it together in an efficient, attractive, easy-to-digest form, suiting the readers' needs and desires, to create something of value that they might even want to, gasp, pay for.This may look nothing like a traditional newspaper package, of course—comics and crosswords are just as widely and freely available on the Web as news, after all. But it may take the form of highly targeted, finely crafted packages of news in which readers can find value in the whole rather than the sum of the parts (to coin a phrase). As Shafer also points out, there's a long tradition of this: magazines like Time and Readers Digest were valuable because they provided quick, comprehensive reads on the news of the day, drawn from multiple sources. Hell, that's what newspapers are at their core: somebody choosing the best stuff a reader might want to see about what's going on around them.On the Web, of course, this is known as aggregation, something that not enough news sites do on a regular basis. It's the notion that editors can act as curators and pick good stuff from a wide variety of sources for their readers. It's the journalist acting not necessarily as an investigator, but as an expert on a subject. There's value in that, though it's not often fully appreciated by many journalists. And it may provide a business model that could subsidize the investigative part of news.On reflection, such packaging actually may be the reason why one of the most celebrated online journalism subscription models is a success: The content of the Wall Street Journal's Web site really isn't all that unique—there's good business content all over the Web these days. But it's a well put-together, well-edited, yes, well-packaged site that provides readers a one-stop source for up-to-the-minute business news. Is that packaging worth as much as $150 a year? Several hundred thousand people seem to think so. (Yes, it's imperfect, and yes, many WSJ.com subscribers write off their subscriptions, etc., etc. But the more I think about why I pay for WSJ.com, the more I come back to its efficient packaging. The Journal seems to have figured this out, too: It's making noises about charging a premium for packages of niche content.)Oddly, journalists have an excellent (free) protoype of what I'm talking about right at their fingertips. I'd imagine that just about everybody who regularly reads this blog is a frequent reader of Jim Romenesko's indispensable daily digest of media news stories on the Poynter site. But Romensko produces essentially zero original content on his page. He just digests the best media stories of the days and provides links to them. (Funny, nobody in the media ever seems to refer to Romenesko as a parasite, a la Google or Drudge.) That's the service he provides, and it's got value: Romenesko is a quick read on what's happening in the industry. Romenesko fans: Would you be willing to pay for Romenesko's service? Perhaps. It beats scouring the blogs and other sources he aggregates. This isn't paying for content—it's still free. But it would be paying for Jim's expertise. His curatorial abilities. That's a news service with value: it's all about the packaging.Romenesko and WSJ.com are just a couple of examples of great news packaging on the Web. Thinking of those as models, there may well be subscription-based business opportunities out there for highly targeted, edited, aggregated products focused on hyperlocal news, sports teams, hobbies, industries, special interests, whatever, drawing from a myriad of otherwise free sources. Can you accomplish the same thing for free with an RSS reader or a canned Google news search? Yeah, maybe, though it might still be unfocused and inefficient. Can you rely on following a bunch of Twitter feeds to point you to interesting content? Only if you have a high tolerance for a lousy signal-to-noise ratio. But a well-thought-out, well-packaged, well-edited site on a specific topic? That has value, day in, day out, far more than any individual story ever could.I'm still skeptical that people will pay for news, in most cases. But I've always thought there's a business in high-value, specialized information. Maybe high-quality, well-chosen collections of focused news fit that definition. Maybe, rather than paying for news, per se, people will be willing to pay for smart packages of it.","saved":"2009-04-20T04:28:44Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2cb4ebeac0688b34ea2d9f0604a7dfd9","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/bd6ec5ea9a48/","kind":"page"},

The Mets won in an uncharacteristically elegant way. Bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, Luis Castillo hits a bullet deep in the pocket betw short and third. The Brewers shortstop makes the play, but it's hit too fast and makes him turn too far. Castillo beats the throw at first and the runner scores from third. The team, excited at the thrilling finish, runs on the field and piles on the baserunners. \nEveryone at the new stadium had a nice but uneasy feeling. Too many people greeted us at the entrance. Everyone smiled more than seems right for New Yorkers. Try as hard as they could, no chant of Lets Go Mets took hold in the crowd. At the beginning of the game I was enchanted, by the end -- it didn't gel. No suspension of disbelief.\nI've traveled a lot in my life and I've seen the Mets play a lot of away games at foreign ballparks. That's what this felt like.\nI felt like a child whose father has a new wife being asked to accept her as my mother. It just doesn't work. In the end I would have much rather gone to a game at the old Shea Stadium, warts and all. \nBaseball is all about tradition. It's not an exciting game like basketball or football, it's a game where the past matters. I'm sure the people who run NYC had their reasons for wanting a new ballpark. Maybe it would have worked better if they had put it somewhere else, but with the ruins of Shea still visible from the new stadium, it feels like we haven't had the proper period of mourning, at least, for an old established shrine of our religion. \nWould the Boston Red Sox tear down Fenway, could the Cubs exist without Wrigley? These questions have obvious answers to me, as obvious as whether the Catholic Church would tear down the Vatican just to get some skyboxes.\nThe new park is a beautiful stadium. I'm not saying it will never fill the place of Shea Stadium, but it doesn't now. I miss the old place.","saved":"2009-04-18T11:36:46Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7000f37dcf843bca7d299a7b1f177065","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b4665230ccae/","kind":"page"},

The chattering classes are at it, talking about how the Twitter folks are dissing Ruby by announcing the replacement of some Ruby code with Scala code.\nPlease stop.At the kinds of volumes that Twitter handles (and with what I assume is a somewhat scary growth curve), Twitter needs  to improve concurrency—it needs an environment/language with low memory overhead, incredible performance, and super-efficient threading. I don't know if Scala fits that particular bill, but I know that current Ruby implementations don't. It isn't what Ruby's intended to be. So the move away is just sound thinking. (I suspect it also took some courage.) I applaud Alex and the team for this.Instead of defending Ruby when it's clearly not an appropriate solution, let's think about things the other way around.The good folks at Twitter started off with Ruby because they wanted to get something running quickly, and they wanted to experiment. And Ruby gave them that. And, what's more, Ruby saw them through at least two rounds of phenomenal  growth. Could they have done it in another language? Sure. But I suspect Ruby, despite the occasional headache, helped them get where they are now. And now they've reached the status of world-wide wunderkind, it's time to move on. I for one wish them luck. I look forward to the day when our online store reaches the kind of size where we have to move away from Rails. I'll tweet the fact with a tear in my eye, while my yacht sails me off to the sunset.","saved":"2009-04-10T11:41:47Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b22362a9b0c06b7450f5a4efbe402bc2","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/67d43cf7c5dd/","kind":"page"},

This weekend, however, we came across Nambu, a new Mac OSX Twitter client that packs the best features of both TweetDeck and Twhirl into a native application, and which adds a number of very interesting additional features, including threaded conversations, three different views to choose from, and the ability to filter columns by keyword.\n\nSponsor\n\n\nFeatures: Lean and Mean\n\nThe latest version of TweetDeck has become somewhat infamous for how much memory it often eats up after a few hours of continuous usage. Nambu, on the other hand, keeps a relatively low footprint. Just like TweetDeck, Nambu features the ability to create groups (which is really the only way to keep up if you follow a large number of users) and separate columns for specific searches.\n\n\n\n\n\nNambu also features a number of other features that set it apart from its competitors. You can, for example, translate any tweet into English with a simple keyboard shortcut, and you can easily add users to a group from a very straightforward right-click menu. Nambu can also auto-complete the names of users you follow when you write a new message. For real power-users, Nambu also supports more than one Twitter account, and for URL-shortening, it currently defaults to tr.im, which was developed by the Nambu team.\n\n\nUnlike TweetDeck, however, Nambu doesn't feature integration with a lot of third-party applications like StockTwits, and it doesn't support Facebook yet. Looking forward, however, the team plans to enable support for FriendFeed, identi.ca, and Ping.fm in the near future.\n\n\nThree Views\n\nWhile Nambu most closely resembles TweetDeck, the application also features two other views as well. The first resembles a traditional, one-column Twitter client like Twhirl, while the second looks a lot like the interface for EventBox, which we reviewed last week, and which sports a sidebar with all your groups and persistent searches.\n\n\nTwitter Threads\n\nOne of the most interesting features of Nambu is that it automatically organizes your conversations into threads. It will also do this for conversations that you don't participate in, but you have to be subscribed to both sides of the conversation. \n\n\nStill in Beta\n\nOf course, Nambu is still in its early beta phase, so you can expect things to break now and then. The development team, however, is issuing updates regularly and development is clearly moving ahead swiftly. There are obviously still some bugs in the application, and the latest update, for example, seems to take up more memory than the previous release.\n\n\nNambu also offers an iPhone application, and while it's a decent enough mobile Twitter client, we would recommend other options like Twitfone or Tweetie over Nambu on the iPhone platform.\n\n\nOn the Mac desktop, few applications can currently rival Nambu's feature set, so if you already like TweetDeck, and if you are on a Mac, then Nambu is definitely worth a try.\n\nDiscuss","saved":"2009-04-07T04:50:29Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"0147d6b3e1fa04959517b577c2763509","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1c375985173d/","kind":"page"},

I’m still reading criticisms of bloggers who don’t do any original reporting, or reporters whose work doesn’t match their professed standards of objectivity. In my darker moments, I’ll confess to thinking sinister thoughts about cable news personalities who engorge the public with an endless stream of trivia.\n\nAs we confront what we’ve lost in the decades-long contraction of the newspaper industry, and as we begin to figure out what we needed but never had, we have to reframe this conversation in purely first-person terms. It’s our society that has to evolve a journalism ecosystem to meet its information needs. It’s a bit of a forehead-slapper to write this, but we’re all in this together, folks.\n\nI thought about this as I read Paul Starr’s excellent report on the decline of the traditional press and Yochai Benkler’s equally excellent rebuttal. Starr’s story is peppered with a panoply of thems; each section invokes the familiar faceless hordes that have long lent authority to news accounts — “some observers,” “many journalists,” “some critics.” That trope has been the downfall of many a news story, given that it’s often used to set up either a straw man or a he-said-she-said moment. The most effective elements of Benkler’s response draw on his tendency to recast those moments with an “I,” “we” or “our.” As in, “I think we do not have good research to know whether this system is also working for local politics and potential corruption as well. This, as Starr shows, is an important area we need to study and understand.” That “we” is universal; it’s any of us. It suggests any citizen might (must!) play a role in understanding this gap.\n\nIf a central element of the undoing of the traditional press is unbundling — the diminishing power of jointly packaging advertising and news, the atomization of formerly coherent monopoly news products into info-snippets on blogs and aggregators — a central element of journalism’s renewal will be connection — our ability and responsibility to all play shifting, complementary roles in a potentially vast system of journalism.\n\nToday I’ve seen plenty of variants on a remark about Jon Stewart’s evisceration of Jim Cramer: “Why didn’t a journalist do that?” Answer: Because the role Stewart played is no longer reserved for journalists, if it ever was. Any of us can unleash a devastating act of media criticism, as Stewart did, or re-tweet such an act where and when we find it.\n\nIn all the coverage I read about growth and development in Columbia, Mo., the most significant investigative package didn’t come from the Missourian or the Tribune. It was a pair of studies done by citizen activist and university professor Ben Londeree, conducted with all the rigor of an academic. Londeree sought an answer to the question of how much it cost Columbia to hook new developments up to water and sewer connections, roads, and other infrastructure, as compared with the fees the city exacts from developers for their projects. Working with an activist group called the Smart Growth Coalition, he surveyed 40 Midwestern cities (.doc) to get an average of similar costs and fees elsewhere, to see how Columbia stacked up. Then, he compiled a dizzying array of variables specific to Columbia to estimate a figure for the city. And he was transparent about his methodology:\n\nCommunity websites were studied to obtain as much information as possible about these financing issues.  Some websites either didn’t have the information needed for the survey or I was unable to locate it.  The most difficult to pin down is the category of exactions for off-site infrastructure because these typically are negotiated at the time of annexation, rezoning, or plan approval.\n\nAfter the website search, the data were e-mailed to each community’s CEO (mayor or city manager) to verify for accuracy and completeness.  A second request was e-mailed to non-responders about four weeks later.  Since many still did not reply, telephone calls were made to planning departments and public works departments with excellent cooperation.  In several cases, these calls helped to identify additional fees charged by a separate entity such as the county, metropolitan districts, benefit districts, co-ops, and private utilities.\n\nAs it happened, Londeree’s studies got quite a bit of local press. The next few years would see the Smart Growth Coalition expand its profile in Columbia city government.  Advocates of the coalition’s ideas have now won four out of seven seats on the City Council.\n\nMaybe once upon a time a group of reporters would have beaten Londeree to the punch, or replicated and extended his work to give it that journalistic seal of approval. We’re not in that world anymore. Our society’s welfare will increasingly depend on citizens taking on work that ambitious, as members of non-profits, for-profits, universities, knitting clubs, and every other type of organization out there. And it will depend equally on our ability to evaluate the work not by who did it — not whether it was “us” or “them” — but by how it was done.\n\nEzra Klein blogged yesterday about what he calls “one of the more frustrating tensions in political journalism,” riffing off this quote from the NYT’s Matt Bai:\n\nGenerally speaking, political writers don’t think so much of political scientists, either, mostly because anyone who has ever actually worked in or covered politics can tell you that, whatever else it may be, a science isn’t one of them. Politics is, after all, the business of humans attempting to triumph over their own disorder, insecurity, competitiveness, arrogance, and infidelity; make all the equations you want, but a lot of politics is simply tactile and visual, rather than empirical. My dinnertime conversation with three Iowans may not add up to a reliable portrait of the national consensus, but it’s often more illuminating than the dissertations of academics whose idea of seeing America is a trip to the local Bed, Bath & Beyond.\n\nKlein makes a wonderful point:\n\nObviously, that doesn’t make much sense. Matt Bai’s conversations with those three Iowans would have gone fairly far towards explaining what those three Iowans thought was driving their vote. But though people don’t tell themselves that they’re tribal creatures who rationalize their attachments and make judgments based on the state of macroeconomic indicators, that explanation fits the data a lot better than anything Bai would have heard over dinner. Indeed, imagine those were Democratic Iowans. In 2004, they would have told Bai that they really believed it important to have a former war hero leading the nation in these times of peril and crisis. In 2008, that wouldn’t have been important to them at all, and instead, they’d have been more interested in a new direction and something called “change.” What people tell you about their vote often tells you a lot more about what they’ve been told about their vote than about why they’re voting the way they are.\n\nBut Bai’s piece does lay bare the journalistic tendency to prize “talking to people about stuff” over “learning about stuff.” If I call up Peter Orszag and ask him about the budget outlook, I’m “reporting.” So too if I attend a press conference and listen to other people ask Peter Orszag about the budget outlook. But if I spend a couple hours at my desk reading CBO and OMB documents, I’m not “reporting.” I’m researching. And to get an idea of how the guild distinguishes between the two, note that though a lot of journalists call themselves “reporters,” none call themselves “researchers.”\n\nIf this democracy business is going to work out in the long run, all the “us”es of world are going to have to stop sorting people into “them”s and snorting at them. That goes double for journalists.\n\nAs this all shakes out, I am confident we will emerge with a corps of individuals who claim journalism as their livelihood. Some small segment will be Sy Hersh-ian muckrakers, rock stars and outliers, stalking through shadowy worlds to singlehandedly expose untold corruptions. But many of them will be Josh Marshalls, for whom investigative journalism could not be done without a thousand engaged citizens each doing a tiny piece of it, and ten thousand more ponying up ten dollars in support of it.\n\nJust as newspapers have lost their monopolies on their audiences, journalists have lost a monopoly on journalism. The responsibility for gathering information and evaluating it has spread throughout the citizenry. We have to figure out how to make that work. All of us. I’m confident we will.\n\n\n\nRelated posts:\nOn transparency: part 1 I’ve been mum for the past week because I’ve been...Journalists, bail yourselves out OK.

But she alludes to the challenges of extracting necessary report mostly from online advertising, and says that the paper might as well at least reward paying readers. \n\n\nThe paper will continue to make breaking news immediately available for free. But for those interested in reading dispatches from Star Tribune's investigative projects, \"deeply reported\" non-breaking news stories and features, they'll have to buy the paper. Some of those stories could make it onto the site later in the week, though more urgent stories might be placed online sooner. Barnes says the execs will monitor the results over the next few weeks and determine if the print hold-back will make any differences and, at the very least, inform how they should distribute their content as it sloughs through a very difficult year.\n\n\nRelated\n\n\nStar-Tribune Files For Bankruptcy; Minneapolis Newspaper Seeks Lower Labor Costs\n\n\nPromo:\nCheck out the best business jobs in digital media.

It's impossible to walk around with one of those things protruding from your head without looking like a total tool. No one's impressed, Lieutenant Uhura.I'd like to think it was that reason that prompted Apple to stop selling the iPhone Bluetooth headsets, but it was probably poor sales. We don't have sales figures, of course, but I've never seen one in the wild.* It's also possible that Apple is up to something else. You'll remember that iPhone OS 3.0 touts support for A2DP Stereo Bluetooth connectivity among its features. The headset which shipped with the 1st generation iPhone had a built-in switch, similar to the one included with the current iPod shuffle. Perhaps a future model will control the iPod and answer calls over Bluetooth? If so, it had better be pretty cool. *Out of fairness, I'll state that I live in a town of 4,000.

Instead of having to take paper comics, what if you could digitize them and read them on your handheld?Well, those are just the type of questions I hoped to have answered by attending the Comics on Handhelds panel at South by Southwest Interactive last week. On the panel were Douglas Edwards, CEO of UCLICK, Molly Crabapple of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, Dave Bort, a Google/Android Engineer, Rantz Hoseley, CEO of the LongBox Group and Richard Stevens of \"Diesel Sweeties\" fame. The panel was moderated by comics creator and mobile comics proponent Dan Goldman.First off, Goldman started with a definition of what comics are: stories told with words and pictures. He explained that comics can be in any form and do not have to be on paper in order to be considered \"comics.\"With that out of the way and hoping to provide a \"common starting place,\" Goldman next went into a discussion of formatting comics for mobile devices and alternative delivery methods, using Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield's \"FreakAngels\" as an example; it works well on a mobile device despite being made originally for the printed page.\"Change in platform demands change in format,\" Goldman said.Continue reading TUAW @SXSW: The \"comics on handhelds\" panel\nTUAWTUAW @SXSW: The \"comics on handhelds\" panel originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Mon, 23 Mar 2009 23:00:00 EST.

Long-time developer Bare Bones Software has branched out from feature-rich applications like BBEdit and Mailsmith with the $10 WeatherCal, a System Preference pane that has a single purpose in life: to populate iCal with weather forecasts so you can better plan for upcoming local events and trips to far-off spots.\n \n \nWeatherCal's interface is minimal, letting users create calendars for multiple locations by clicking the + button. You can find locations by name, ZIP code, and airport code, but WeatherCal automatically creates a default location by reading the location from the entry you've designated as \"My Card\" in Address Book. You can edit each location's name as desired, and deselecting a location's checkbox removes its events from your calendar without deleting the calendar itself. Removing a calendar entirely is merely a matter of selecting it and clicking the - button.\n \n \n \n \n\nOnce configured, WeatherCal creates a normal iCal calendar for each location, displaying the current conditions for the current day and a simplified forecast for the next five days. (Bare Bones tells me that sometimes the weather feeds provide more than five days of forecasts for U.S. locations, and sometimes less than that for international locations.) As with all other iCal calendars, you can set the color of the calendar by selecting it in iCal, pressing Command-I, and choosing a new color from the pop-up menu. \n \n \n \n \n\nDouble-click one of WeatherCal's events and you'll see a URL that will load the Weather Underground Web page for that location, making additional information a mere three clicks and an application change away.\n \n \nThe calendars are rolling, meaning that you'll only ever see events for the current day and the next five days; WeatherCal tidies up after itself so you don't have past weather conditions cluttering your calendar.\n \n \nBeing normal iCal calendars, they'll also sync to your iPhone or iPod touch, and will display with any iCal-savvy utilities like Second Gear's Today, which provides an at-a-glance view of your events and tasks in iCal.\n \n \nAnd well, that's it. WeatherCal is a one-trick pony, but it's a clever trick, and a useful one to boot. With it, you can easily tell, when making plans for next weekend, if the weather is likely to be amenable for a picnic. And if the drivers in your area freak out with a little rain or snow, knowing the forecast when making plans for a meeting across town next week could save you from an unpleasant traffic jam. Or, if you're planning a trip to Macworld Expo next year, adding San Francisco to your calendar ahead of time will give you a sense of how to pack.\n \n \nObviously, there are a ton of ways to find weather information on the Internet these days, but context is king, and having weather information in your face while you're making plans is, in my mind, worth 10 bucks. It requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later, and is a 2.6 MB download.\n \n \nI'm a minor weather geek, to the point where I regularly check out the Ithaca Climate Page on the Web and buy the Ithaca Weather Calendar each year for its updated almanac information. From that standpoint, I can see a few features Bare Bones could implement for WeatherCal 2.0. iCal events have a Notes field that would be perfect for textual forecast information, for instance. (Bare Bones said that parsing that information in a reliable fashion from the different weather feeds they use is non-trivial.) Plus, since WeatherCal knows current conditions, it could optionally create another calendar in iCal with the high and low temperature for each day, enabling users to go back to \nsee what the weather was like in the past. Nevertheless, these are trivial suggestions - WeatherCal seems fully baked as it stands, and I look forward to using it throughout the upcoming seasons.\n \n \n\n \nCopyright © 2009 Adam C. Engst.

It is fairly common because the hacker or scammer does not need to be at the same location as you. But there is also the issue of keeping your computer safe. If you have no protection, and it gets stolen, all your data can be read by others. Even if you just go to the bathroom at Starbucks and leave your computer unwatched, there is potential risk. Although these types of theft are fairly uncommon, you may still want to secure yourself. An application that can help you with this is Tao Effect’s Espionage.\n\nEspionage’s biggest advantage over other security software is its Application Templates and Application Associations. Instead of having to encrypt your Mail folder, and then decrypt it whenever you want to read your Mail, Espionage does this automatically for you. Just go to File>Application Templates… and choose Mail. You will then choose a password and choose what type of encryption to use. AES-256 is more secure than AES-128, but it is not needed for everything, and it takes longer to encrypt and decrypt. It should really only be used for extremely secret documents. Once you click Go, you will be prompted with the Application Associations window. This allows you to edit the password for the application, the location and the type of encryption. If you click Edit Application Associations, you will be prompted with a sheet that allows you to set the application to Lock on Quit and to have it launch at startup. This is different from a regular ‘Launch at Startup,’ because this actually delays the application’s startup so Espionage can unlock its folder. So, do not set an application to launch at startup in System Preferences if you are using Espionage to secure its data–Use Espionage’s ‘Launch at Startup.’ You can do this process not only for Mail.app, but for 17 other apps too.\n\n\nBut, what if an application whose data you want secured is not in the list of Templates? Well, you can just create your own Application Association. If you go to the Application Associations window (command-L), you can create your own Associations. If you want to secure MarsEdit’s data, just drag the data (~/Library/Application Support/MarsEdit) onto the window. You will then be prompted with a sheet that allows you to choose the encryption, password, and associated application. In this case, the associated application would be MarsEdit. You have now created your own Association. So, although Espionage only comes with 18 Templates, you can make Associations for any application you wish (so long as it stores its data on your hard drive…).\n\n\nEspionage does also allow you to do normal file encryption. You just drag the file (or folder) on Espionage’s window, choose the encryption type, but just don’t specify an Association. Every time you try to access the folder, Espionage will ask you for your password.\n\nWith Espionage, you can also easily backup all encrypted folders. If you go to the Backup tab of Espionage>Preferences…, you can specify all the options for the backup. And, you don’t have to backup all of your encrypted files, you can just choose which ones you want. You can also specify when to backup.\n\n\nEspionage also includes a rather interesting feature for an encryption app. It allows you to do encryption-less protection. When you create a new folder encryption, if instead of choosing AES-128 or AES-256, you choose No Encryption, Espionage will not actually encrypt it. What it does do, however, is make it much harder for someone to access it. They still could (if they knew how), but if you are leaving your computer for 2 minutes to go to the bathroom (and it’s locked in place), this may be the best choice.\n\nTao Effect’s Espionage retails for $24.95 and you can download a free, 14-day trial from their site. It provides easy encryption with many built-in Templates and Application Associations.

Today, I’m happy to release a public beta with these updates. Please feel free to download and give it a try! I would also value your feedback on what I’ve done so far.\n\n\nClick Here To Download MarsEdit 2.3 Public Beta\n\n\n\nSpecial note for current MarsEdit users: It’s a good idea to make a backup of your current MarsEdit Application Support folder. You’ll find it in your home directory at:\n\n\n\n[Home] -> Library -> Application Support -> MarsEdit\n\n\n\n\nFor this initial Tumblr support, I have only endeavored to support the Text, Quote, Photo, Link, and Chat post types. Audio and video are on the list for a future enhancement.\n\n\n\nWhile the emphasis of this release is on Tumblr, there are a few goodies that will benefit those of you who are using MarsEdit on other blog systems as well:\n\n\nOpening the media manager is now much faster with lots of photos\nImproved usability and design of the Technorati Tags editor\nImproved weblog Favicon detection\n\nTumblr Caveats\n\n\nI think there is enough here to get people excited about using MarsEdit for Tumblr, and hopefully you won’t run in to many pitfalls. But there are a few things that I already know are working less than perfectly.\n\n\n\nPost options such as selecting between Markdown and HTML , and setting whether a post is public or private, are not yet supported. I hope to support these in an update sometime after 2.3 ships.\nAutodetection of weblog settings fails if you host on a custom domain name. To work around this, give MarsEdit your tumblr-based URL, e.g. “http://marsedit.tumblr.com/”.  I am working with the Tumblr folks to see if we can facilitate a way for MarsEdit to autodetect settings from a custom domain name.\nOnly the first tumblelog for an account can be edited with MarsEdit. The Tumblr API has come a long way in recent months, but it is missing the capacity to specify a particular blog to edit when submitting or editing a post.\n\nHave Fun And Keep In Touch\n\n\nI hope you’ll give this new release of MarsEdit a try, and take the time to send me your feedback if you’ve got it. I’m not aiming for perfection with 2.3, but usable and lovable would be a good start.

I hate to see crying out of school like this, although I think he does a nice job of breaking it down. Let me be clear: I dont know him, have never met him, and look forward to being his friend as he is way more of a power broker than me. I hope that accusing his post of crying out of school does not taint our relationship.\n\nThis is also a great example of something people love to see in blogs: The comments are more constructive than the initial post. Very engaging material is an SEO and traffic gold mine.\n\nFollow on comments discuss how opportunities to invest in MapQuest were passed over because contributions back to the company were needed to make quarterly numbers. This long-term vs short-term tension is found in every public company as their revenue numbers become increasingly difficult to hit. When McKinley discusses how straightforward the Google UI is vs the ad-ridden Mapquest UI, the next question is obviously one of How are you supposed to build a sustainable business, because Googles is clearly heavily subsidized today.\n\nOf course, now you are seeing these same problems at all kinds of businesses as the economy goes south. Google is starving the losers. If Google Maps had not taken the share it had taken in the last year, it could easily find itself on the Google scrap heap as they arbitrage their business to make increasingly challenging quarterly numbers.\n\nSpeaking frankly, some of these same challenges exist for me, working at an AOL subsidiary, but the problems are far more nuanced than the comments on this blog imply. I think everyone feels like we are still in the second or third inning of the ball game. There are literally hundreds of tremendous growth opportunities facing the company and we are forced to make decisions about which to pursue. Even if AOL required no contribution, while we could choose more, we could not choose them all. It is easy to point the finger a few years later and say, We should have done that one., but every decision made involves dozens of negative options.\n\nFurthermore, AOL has macro resource decisions that need to be made. They are making decisions across the organizations: Should investments be put into existing profitable properties or invested in new initiatives that have not yet gotten traction.\n\nOther comments discuss the choices made in API delivery: Google offers a free API with no support, Mapquest requires payment and extensive support. Mapquest targets the corporate behemoths, Google targets the long tail. Probably a valuable lesson.\n\nFinally, a great comment by a former AOLer discusses the SEO impact of Mapquest decisions. Mapquest did a poor job of SEOing their site. When they dropped from #1 to #2 in map search results, traffic dropped tremendously. Now they are #4 and Google is #1. Frankly, that could explain virtually the entire tradeoff in traffic. A 20% traffic decline for Mapquest as they drop from #1 to #4? Sounds right.","saved":"2009-02-24T05:24:14Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4b1838474bf9703c64d93cc2238e8587","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a10393e9db95/","kind":"page"},

Notsomuch.\n\nThe official bad news from Boxee below:\n\n\n\n\n\nFriends, \n\nFor those of you following the Hulu / TV.com story, we wanted to share the news that Hulu has also requested to be removed from boxee at the request of their content partners. \nWe've put up a blog post on our site (http://blog.boxee.tv/2009/02/18/the-hulu-situation/) giving a little more insight, but we wanted you to hear it from us first. \n\nHere's the text of our post: \nwe love Hulu. they have built a great product and brand (including one the best Superbowl ads this year). since our early days in private alpha, Hulu was the most requested site by our users. so we built support for browsing Hulu on boxee, reached out to Hulu, showed it to them, and on Oct 20th, 2008 shared it with our alpha testers (without a formal partnership with Hulu). the response has been amazing. people love watching many of their favorite shows on Hulu via boxee. last week we generated more than 100,000 streams for them...\n\ntwo weeks ago Hulu called and told us their content partners were asking them to remove Hulu from boxee. we tried (many times) to plead the case for keeping Hulu on boxee, but on Friday of this week, in good faith, we will be removing it. you can see their blog post about the issues they are facing there.\n\nour goal has always been to drive users to legal sources of content that are publicly available on the Internet. we have many content partners who are generating revenue from boxee users and we will work with Hulu and their partners to resolve the situation. \n\nwe will tell them how users love Hulu on boxee, why it represents a great opportunity for them to better engage with fans of their shows, how boxee can help in exposing their content to new people, and why they should be excited about future opportunities of working with us.\n\nwe will blog/tweet as soon as we have any updates and hopefully we'll be able to bring back the Hulu experience to boxee sooner rather than later.\n\nBest,\nAndrew\n\nboxee press kit: http://drop.io/iloveboxee\nboxee blog: http://blog.boxee.tv","saved":"2009-02-19T05:12:54Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"d4ec9fd70865f966d1b15ea5c9ef8a52","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e8dd0f8f4e0a/","kind":"page"},

Well, you could, but you won’t get good results. Not at all. To do a good job, make the client happy, and set yourself up to make great photographs, you have to do quite a bit of planning and preparation. Unfortunately for me, I only found out that I was going to be shooting TED a week before the event started. To complicate matters, I was away from home on business at the time and slated to return to Portland the day before I needed to be in Long Beach. To make things even more interesting, I already had travel plans to be in New York for the week after TED to shoot the O’Reilly Tools of Change conference.\n\n\nBy the time everything was sorted out and airline tickets were rebooked, I had thirteen and a half hours in Portland to prepare for both TED and TOC. Luckily, this wasn’t my first rodeo. In the days before returning to Portland, I crafted several lists and action plans to make the most of my limited time to prepare. That way, as soon as I got home to Portland, I could simultaneously unpack what I had taken to the Bay Area and repack for Long Beach and New York.\n\n\nThe first thing I pulled together was my camera kit. This is was on my list to go into the bag:\n\n\n\nTwo Nikon D700 camera bodies\nNikkor AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8 G lens\nNikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8 G lens\nNikkor AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 G lens\nNikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.4 G lens\nBatteries and charger for the D700s\nMonopod\nTripod with ball head\nR-Strap\nArtic Butterfly sensor brush\nLens cleaning paper\nRocket Blower\nShootsac\nWhiBal card\nCompact Flash cards (mix of SanDisk 8GB and 4GB)\n\n\nThis is probably what you’d expect to be on the list. A great range of lenses to cover any situation. Two camera bodies so that I can switch quickly between wide angles and close ups and also survive a failure in a body. The problem was that I didn’t have quite all of this in my kit to pack. If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that I’m in the process of building up my Nikon kit and have been using my Canon kit as backup. It wasn’t practical, however, to haul two systems on this trip. I’ve therefore pretty much had to finish building out a complete Nikon kit before leaving for Long Beach. It was certainly a good thing Portland’s Pro Photo supply is open at 7:30AM on Mondays! I was there first thing before heading to the airport to catch my flight to Los Angeles and certainly made the salesman’s day.\n\n\nNext up, I pulled together the lighting gear:\n\n\n\nTwo Nikon SB900 speedlights\nOrbis ring flash\nFive Pocket Wizards and associated sync cords\nNikon TTL sync cord\nRechargeable AA batteries (8 sets of 4)\nMaha 8 battery charger\nTwo lightweight stands\nTwo umbrella adapters\nTwo shoot through umbrellas\nTwo Super Clamps\nCTO gels\nHonl Speed Straps\nHonl snoots\nHonl grids\nGaffer tape\n\n\nIf I were just shooting TED, I probably would have taken about half of this lighting gear and might have skipped out on the light stands entirely. But, the TOC stage in New York will probably be weakly lit and I’ll have to supplement with my own light on remote triggers. So, it all came along for the ride to Long Beach.\n\n\nAfter all that went into a pile, next up was the computer gear:\n\n\n\nMacBook Pro\nPower adapter\nTime Machine backup drive\nTwo 100GB external drives\nSanDisk Firewire CF Card Reader\nCables, lots of cables\nPower strip\nEVDO card\niPhone charger cable\nBusiness cards\n\n\nI’ve found over time that bringing along a power strip helps things amazingly. And, you can never have too many FireWire cords or USB cords. As far as the business cards go, I’ve got some lovely new ones in the works, but for this trip am using a batch I had printed up at Overnight Prints.\n\n\nFinally, there were clothes. Black pants. Jeans. Shirts. Shoes (Ecco!). That kind of thing. I’ll spare you the list, but I did have one so that I knew what to toss into the washer when I got home.\n\n\nAll of this gear and clothes went into three bags:\n\n\n\nThinkTank Shape Shifter backpack for the camera gear and laptop\nA Pelican 1510 hardcase for most of the lighting gear, cables, and stands\nMy big awesome Eagle Creek suitcase for clothes and the tripod.\n\n\nThe Shape Shifter is a new bag for me, also acquired at 7:30AM on Monday morning. I’ve been wanting a new camera backpack for a while, but hating almost all of the options as bulky or not flexible enough. The Shape Shifter is a new take on the classic camera backpack and so far I’m digging it. I’ll have to write more about it at some point.\n\n\nSo, how’d it go? Did I manage to have everything I needed on site at TED? The answer is that I did pretty well. I ended up using almost everything but the light stands, but those will come in handy at TOC. The one area I totally fumbled on was hard drive space. During the event, all of my images were going onto TED’s Mac Pro towers (and duplicated across multiple disks... I’ll write about the workflow soon as well), but after all was said and done, I had over 200GB of data I needed to pull. Luckily, a 500GB drive was procured and I was able to play a few data shuffle games to get two copies of it all. In the near future, I’ll be standardizing on two 500GB drives for outboard photo data storage.\n\n\nThe other thing I sorely from my Canon kit is my 300mm f/2.8 lens. Of course, it won’t work with my Nikon gear, but there were an entire category of shots that I had to let go because of not having enough reach. Since I was a second shooter and  Asa Mathat (the lead shooter) was on the hook for the ultra tight close ups, it wasn’t a big deal. But, in retrospect, I should have rented a 300mm or 400mm super tele from my friends over at BorrowLenses.com. Next time.\n\n\nSo, that’s the gear. Coming up next are posts about how the workflow went as well as some photos from the event!\n","saved":"2009-02-15T11:40:03Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4b75768becc8c3e82e5a0e7e380e513f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d75305d05eb6/","kind":"page"},

ISO 1600 and even ISO 3200 are my friends and I’ve become quite comfortable with them. The best of stages I’ve worked are lit up in a way that lets a me shoot at 1/250th at f/4.0 or even f/5.6 at ISO 1600. That’s nirvana. On the other hand, sometimes I walk into an event where even the most capable hardware can’t really save the day. Even my D700s can be left gasping for photons to work with to produce a compelling image.\n\n\nThe 2009 Tools of Change for Publishing Conference this last week in New York was such an event. When I walked in on Tuesday morning and checked out the stage lighting, I was greeted with a single hot spot on the podium that was barely suitable for working with. Right there, I could eek out an exposure of 1/100th at f/2.8 at ISO 1600 or ISO 2000. The rest of the stage was an uneven hodgepodge of light that varied down from there by three stops or so. The middle of the stage was a land where even ISO 3200 wouldn’t save me. Even where there were enough photons, they weren’t the kind that would make for good photos. Yes, I’ve got the ability to work at ISO 6400 with the D700s, but I don’t really like to go that far for images that will be used later in print.\n\n\nThe solution is to light up the stage with my own lights in a way that looks like normal stage lighting and which doesn’t seem to bother speakers (much). I set up two Nikon SB-900s on stands up in the balcony and used my trusty Pocket Wizards to trigger them. To illustrate the setup (well, one of the setups I used), I took this photograph from behind the stage during Tim O’Reilly’s keynote. From here, you can see the house lights setup on simple T-bars on the balcony as well as my strobes.\n\n\n\n\n\nNote how I’ve tucked my lights near the lights that are already up. This helps stealth away the flashes a bit for both the speakers and the audience. Sure, flashes are going off, but when the source is already coming from a bright area, it does tend to reduce their impact. The thing that was most interesting to me as I annotated this image was how much more light my stage right SB-900 was generating at 1/4 power than the three house light fixtures that were sitting right next to it. Just compare the strength of the shadows to see the difference.\n\n\nWhy did I use 1/4 power? There are actually two reasons. First, I want to be able to have a decent recycle time if I need to burst a sequence of shots. The second is that I’ve found that if I go to 1/2 power or above, speakers tend to notice the flashes going off a lot more. Even though I’ve got a job to do, I don’t want to distract the speakers any more than I have to. So, when I add my own light, I tend to only push enough to get to a decent exposure at ISO 1600 and leverage the rest of the available light as best I can. If I had more strobe units with me, I’d drop them down to 1/8 power or less to accomplish the results I want while further improving recycle time.\n\n\nThe bias of the lights towards stage right in this particular setup was intentional as well. During the breakout sessions, this room was divided in two and the setup allowed me to work shots in the north side of the ballroom with my lights. You can just see the centerline air wall track to the left of my strobe in the photograph above. Also, the strong bias to stage right let me play with contrast back and forth. For example, here are two shots of Cory Doctorow taken from opposite sides:\n\n\n\n    \n\n\nAs you can see, from stage left, I could get a nice sliver of light on a speaker. From stage right, I could get a more frontally lit view of the speakers. I couldn’t easily run up to the balcony and change my power levels to get different looks during a session, but at least I could shift my shooting position to do so.\n\n\nI should note that I did shift up my lighting arrangement a couple of times during the event between blocks of speakers. For the most part, I used the lighting setup shown above. At one point, however, I had a light set up to stage left to work with some rim lighting effects, such as with these photos of Sara Lloyd and Jason Fried.\n\n\n    \n\n\nIn an ideal world—or at least an ideal kit, as in an ideal world the stage lighting would always be sufficient—I’d have a few more lights setup from a few more angles and be able to control their output from my shooting position. Pocket Wizards are great, but they only transmit sync and can’t carry Nikon CLS signaling (or the Canon equivalent) which relies on line-of-sight pre flashes. I need to get my mitts on a set of Radio Poppers in the near future and see what they let me do with CLS over radio. (Psst, hey Radio Popper guys! If you see this and want to see how your new gear works in a big-room multi-strobe setup, I’d love to do a test drive. Drop me a line! I’ll have more setups like this to do this year and am looking for solutions that scale up to 6 or 8 strobes in 3 groups.)\n\n\nAll in all, I’m pretty happy with being able to light up an event like this. It’s not as pretty as some of the fully lit stages I’ve worked on with sophisticated layered lighting, but it does do the trick in a pinch. To see the results from this lighting setup, you can check out the full set of photographs from TOC 2009 on my Zenfolio site.\n","saved":"2009-02-15T11:33:49Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"516abccbdc83c188192654117fbde4a4","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a3a4a4f7d451/","kind":"page"},

It advanced consumer video editing on the Mac in several ways, such as having live transitions and effects that don't require re-rendering clips and putting your entire video library at your fingers without opening old projects.\n \n \nBut iMovie '08, having been written from scratch as a new application, was sparse in many areas, especially compared to iMovie HD 6. The good news is that iMovie '09 restores most of iMovie HD's features. (Read my Macworld review of iMovie '09 for more.) The better news is that iMovie '09 boasts a lot of other new features and hidden secrets that aren't immediately apparent.\n \n \nI'm hard at work on my book iMovie '09 and iDVD for Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide (click this link to pre-order it now and help support TidBITS), and am enjoying discovering many of iMovie's hidden tips and features.\n \n \nDouble-click Clip to View Inspector -- iMovie '09 now collects its adjustment controls in a new Inspector HUD, versus having separate floating panes for video and audio adjustments. You can select a clip and click the \"i\" icon in the toolbar, or choose an option from the new Action menu that appears on every clip, but it's easier to just double-click the clip to bring up the Inspector. (If you prefer iMovie '08's behavior of double-clicking a clip to play it, you can change the action in iMovie's preferences.)\n \n \n \n \nThe adjustment controls can also be invoked from the keyboard by pressing the following letters (with no modifier such as the Command key): I for Clip adjustments; V for Video adjustments; A for Audio adjustments; and C for Cropping, Ken Burns and Rotation adjustments.\n \n \nView Your Movie on a Secondary Display -- iMovie's monitor occupies the top-right corner of the program's interface, and it can be resized by choosing one of the following sizes from the Window  >  Viewer submenu: Small (or press Command-8), Medium (Command-9), or Large (Command-0). That feature isn't new (although the keystrokes have changed from iMovie '08).\n \n \nWhat's cool about iMovie '09 is that if you work with multiple displays, iMovie can use one of them as the monitor to play back your movie. Choose Window  >  Viewer on Secondary Display. This feature not only gives you a larger preview - it scales to fit the screen - but it removes the monitor from the iMovie interface, giving you more horizontal room for editing your project.\n \n \nCopy and Paste Adjustments -- One of iMovie '09's new features is the return of video effects. With a clip selected, bring up the Inspector and click the Video Effect button to view the effects iMovie offers. Now, let's suppose that you also apply some other edits to the clip: increasing the exposure, muting the audio, applying image stabilization, changing its speed, etc. Quite a lot can happen to one clip, as you can see. If the following clip (or other clips) come from the same scene, you'd have to reapply all of those adjustments to make them match up.\n \n \n \n \nInstead, Apple expanded on a powerful feature that deserves attention. With the adjusted clip selected, choose Edit  >  Copy or press Command-C; all of the adjustments are noted. Then, choose one or more clips and choose which edits to apply from the Edit  >  Paste Adjustments submenu, either all at once or piecemeal. iMovie '08 could paste only video, audio, or crop adjustments. This version also adds cutaway edits, video effects, stabilization, speed, and map style adjustments.\n \n \n \n \nMove Projects and Events to Other Drives -- In iMovie '08, events (the folders in which raw footage was stored on the hard disk) could be kept on your computer's startup disk or on external disks, but your movie projects had to be located on the startup disk. iMovie '09 gives you the ability to choose where projects are stored, too.\n \n \nYou can also move them from drive to drive, such as when your startup disk is running low on space. Relocating event files in iMovie '08 required that you move the applicable projects in the Finder. Now, drag a project or event to another drive's icon in either the Project Library or the Event Library to copy the content. In the case of relocating project files, you're given the option of copying just the project file or the file and its associated event footage, too. (Here's a video example.) To move the files instead of copy them, hold the Command key while you drag.\n \n \nChoose Which Clips Appear in Theme Transitions -- iMovie '09 offers new themes that add motion graphics to your clips, specifically to your movie's opening and closing scenes and some transitions. Some themes transition between two clips by, for example, focusing on one clip \"mounted\" to a bulletin board, zooming out, and then zooming in on the next clip. Other transitions have several clips on the bulletin board.\n \n \nYou can choose which clips appear in which frames. Click one of the theme transitions to view a zoomed-out image that displays all of the available drop zones. A set of numbered yellow pins appears on your footage, each representing one of the drop zones. Drag the pins to the areas of your movie you want to appear in the other photos. (Here's a video example.)\n \n \n \n \nConsistent Map Styles in Themes -- Speaking of themes, the Bulletin Board theme includes a map tacked onto the background of the board. If you already have a map in your project, or you add a new map, the map style on the board automatically assumes the same style from the project for consistency.\n \n \nAdd Locations to Travel Maps -- iMovie includes an internal database of 4,000 cities, airports, and other locations for use when adding markers to its interactive maps. That's a good start, but what if you want a location that isn't included? With a little work, you can add it to iMovie's database. (Credit for this tip goes to user markstew on Apple's iMovie discussion forums.)\n \n \nFirst, find the lattitude and longitude coordinates of your destination using a service such as iTouchMap.com. Next, make sure iMovie is not running and open the application's package: Control-click on the iMovie application icon and choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. (iMovie, like many applications, is a Mac OS X \"package,\" a folder that appears normally as a single file.)\n \n \nGo to Contents/Resources/ and open the file WorldLocations.txt using a text editor. Copy an existing entry similar to the one you're about to add; for example, find a city in your state or country. Paste that at the end of the list, and change the city name. Then, copy the coordinates you looked up on the Web and paste them in place of the coordinates in your custom line.\n \n \nSave the file, close the folders, and launch iMovie. When you add a map and perform a search, your new location appears in the list.\n \n \nThe Date/Time Title -- When you add this title style to a clip, the clip's actual date and title appear. Only the start time is displayed - it won't keep a running clock on your footage - and you can't edit the text style. But if you need a quick notation of when the clip was shot, this title can save you some work.\n \n \n \n \nView Photos from Same Time Period -- If you're like me, you capture not only video during a trip or other occasion, but also a lot of still photos. iMovie '09 makes it easier to find the photos you shot at the same time.\n \n \nSelect an event in the Event Library and then click the Photos button on the toolbar. At the bottom of the Photos pane is a new Show Photos popup menu; click its checkbox and then choose a time frame (within Event date range, or within 1 day/week/month of Event).\n \n \n \n \nAdjust the Opacity of a Cutaway -- With the advanced tools enabled (an option in iMovie's preferences that unlock a lot of features), you can drag one clip on top of another and create a cutaway - the new clip is superimposed on top of the existing one. When you bring up the Inspector on the cutaway clip, a new Opacity slider lets you adjust how transparent the clip appears.\n \n \n \n \n\n \nCopyright © 2009 Jeff Carlson.

It’s pretty hard at this point to believe that it’s been four years. In some ways, it seems like just a moment ago. After all, ten years ago I was at Sun working to get Tomcat and Ant released to the Apache Software Foundation. Twenty years ago, I was blundering through my first year of architecture school. In other ways, however, I look back at all that that’s happened since that first gig and I’m amazed it’s only been four years.\n\n\nStarting a second career takes time and dedication. It takes years to get to the point where you’re not looking over your shoulder and wondering if you might have to fall back again on other skills you have. In the best of times, it takes patience and work. Lots of hard work. Of course, it’s not the best of times. The economic environment of the last year or so—especially the last few months—has kept that worry front and center. I’ve had some gigs cancelled and others scaled back. On top of that, there have been a few things in my personal and family life that haven’t gone so well. Frankly, it’s been kind of a sucky time. And, it seems that there’s more suck to come on a variety of fronts.\n\n\nLife has to go on, however. The best opportunities show themselves when you least expect it. And they can come from unexpected directions. In my case, one came via an email I read on my iPhone last Monday.\n\n\nTo fully explain, I need to tell you a story from a few years back. After finishing up my first full year of shooting events for O’Reilly Media, I made a short list of things I’d love to do as a professional photographer. Call them goals. Call them wishes. Whatever. I’ve got a short list. And the number one event on that short list was a unique conference that was held every year in Monterrey called TED. If you don’t know about TED, go check out their website and watch some of the videos. I’ve been incredibly lucky to be able to shoot some of the premier technology events from Web 2.0 Summit to Apple’s WWDC. But TED is it’s own kind of event. Special and unique.\n\n\nThat email I got on Monday? It was from the Executive Producer of TED asking if I’d be available to shoot as a second shooter for the event. Asa Mathat will be the lead photographer, but a single photographer can’t be everywhere at once at a big event. So, would I’d be willing to come and add a second viewpoint?\n\n\nWhen I read the email, I was speechless for a while. Maybe an hour. I was barely able to order a cappuccino at the cafe I stopped at after reading the email. It’s so incredibly awesome when a wish comes true. Of course, I accepted. Next week, I’ll be in Long Beach at TED2009 with my camera in my hand. The job might be as just a second shooter. But that’s just fine by me. I’ll be there with the job to make images.\n\n\nNeedless to say, this is a big opportunity. It’s an honor, obviously, but there’s more to it. Unlike getting an award, you can’t just accept an opportunity, smile, and stand there. No, it’s not like that at all. Opportunities lead to other opportunities. Doing a great job at the first O’Reilly conference I shot led to another and another. And doing those well led to me working with other companies like Apple. Therefore, I feel a very real obligation to opportunity, and this one is no different. You have to go out and meet the opportunity head on. In the parlance of sport, you have to go out on the field and give it all you have. Leave it all on the field.\n\n\nI plan on doing just that. Moreover, I suddenly feel a whole lot better about this year. After all, I might still have to fall back on some of the other skills I have to make it through. There may still be some suck to come. But, there is still joy to be had. There is still opportunity to do good work. And the chance to make some good photographs. Really, what more could one want?\n\n\nUpdate 1/31: Thanks all for the kind comments! I really appreciate them!\n","saved":"2009-01-31T01:30:58Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3ddd4592a4e0d3f8e6ab2c08aa25c7f0","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/70b706e8849d/","kind":"page"},

Much like the “guidelines” on Windows ( Windows User Experience Interaction Guidelines ) or Mac (Apple Human Interface Guidelines ) development platforms that help Windows or Mac application developers respectively while standardizing the user interactions of the applications developed on those platforms. These guidelines ensure strict quality, improves user experience and makes the life of designers easier.\n\nThere are plenty of resources that discuss “web ui interaction patterns” .\n\nDesigning Interfaces is a good resource if you are designing web user interactions. Rob Adams one of the core developers of Adobe’s Flex  has an excellent set of introductory articles which not only apply to designing user interfaces using Adobe’s Flex but applies to user interface design in general. I especially liked the Structuring your Application part.\n\nEveryone loves the web, even if there are a few frustrations that we still have to overcome  \n\nHappy Surfing !\n","saved":"2009-01-07T05:14:07Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"bf0921b9508ae673126e5a80a4b12ffc","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e83a7cc2aa1a/","kind":"page"},

If so, then you've probably noticed that you are only able to rate songs on a full-star basis, not enough granularity for some music fans... there's a longstanding AppleScript hack to enable half-stars, but now there's an easier way around this issue. Macworld's Rob Griffiths found a work around, involving a simple Terminal tip to enable half-star ratings. To enable half-star ratings, close iTunes, and open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities). Once you have Terminal opened, type the following command and press enter:  defaults write com.apple.iTunes allow-half-stars -bool TRUE When you reopen iTunes and rate a song, you will be able to give half-stars. That simple. If you wish to make things normal again, open Terminal and type the same command, replacing \"TRUE\" with \"FALSE.\"TUAWTerminal Tip: Enable half-star ratings in iTunes originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Wed, 31 Dec 2008 11:00:00 EST.

Enjoy all over again ...\n\nOriginally posted on December 31, 2004\n\n\nBruce Mau, a designer, thinker, articulator, and massive change provocateur, has a lot of ideas on a lot of things. His Incomplete Manifesto for Change is a list, an incomplete one at that, of 43 ideas to get you beyond thinking differently but doing differently.  As 2008 turns to 2009, the message of doing differently is one we should all heed.  Enjoy.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn Incomplete Manifesto for Growth Author: Bruce Mau (1998)\n\n1. Allow events to change you. You have to be willing to grow. Growth is different from something that happens to you. You produce it. You live it. The prerequisites for growth: the openness to experience events and the willingness to be changed by them.\n\n\n2. Forget about good. Good is a known quantity. Good is what we all agree on. Growth is not necessarily good. Growth is an exploration of unlit recesses that may or may not yield to our research. As long as you stick to good you’ll never have real growth.\n\n\n3. Process is more important than outcome. When the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we’ve already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we’re going, but we will know we want to be there.\n\n\n4. Love your experiments (as you would an ugly child). Joy is the engine of growth. Exploit the liberty in casting your work as beautiful experiments, iterations, attempts, trials, and errors. Take the long view and allow yourself the fun of failure every day.\n\n\n5. Go deep. The deeper you go the more likely you will discover something of value.\n\n\n6. Capture accidents. The wrong answer is the right answer in search of a different question. Collect wrong answers as part of the process. Ask different questions.\n\n\n7. Study. A studio is a place of study. Use the necessity of production as an excuse to study. Everyone will benefit.\n\n\n8. Drift. Allow yourself to wander aimlessly. Explore adjacencies. Lack judgment. Postpone criticism.\n\n\n9. Begin anywhere. John Cage tells us that not knowing where to begin is a common form of paralysis. His advice: begin anywhere.\n\n\n10. Everyone is a leader. Growth happens. Whenever it does, allow it to emerge. Learn to follow when it makes sense. Let anyone lead.\n\n\n11. Harvest ideas. Edit applications. Ideas need a dynamic, fluid, generous environment to sustain life. Applications, on the other hand, benefit from critical rigor. Produce a high ratio of ideas to applications.\n\n\n12. Keep moving. The market and its operations have a tendency to reinforce success. Resist it. Allow failure and migration to be part of your practice.\n\n\n13. Slow down. Desynchronize from standard time frames and surprising opportunities may present themselves.\n\n\n14. Don’t be cool. Cool is conservative fear dressed in black. Free yourself from limits of this sort.\n\n\n15. Ask stupid questions. Growth is fueled by desire and innocence. Assess the answer, not the question. Imagine learning throughout your life at the rate of an infant.\n\n\n16. Collaborate. The space between people working together is filled with conflict, friction, strife, exhilaration, delight, and vast creative potential.\n\n\n17. ——————————. Intentionally left blank. Allow space for the ideas you haven’t had yet, and for the ideas of others.\n\n\n18. Stay up late. Strange things happen when you’ve gone too far, been up too long, worked too hard, and you’re separated from the rest of the world.\n\n\n19. Work the metaphor. Every object has the capacity to stand for something other than what is apparent. Work on what it stands for.\n\n\n20. Be careful to take risks. Time is genetic. Today is the child of yesterday and the parent of tomorrow. The work you produce today will create your future.\n\n\n21. Repeat yourself. If you like it, do it again. If you don’t like it, do it again.\n\n\n22. Make your own tools. Hybridize your tools in order to build unique things. Even simple tools that are your own can yield entirely new avenues of exploration. Remember, tools amplify our capacities, so even a small tool can make a big difference.\n\n\n23. Stand on someone’s shoulders. You can travel farther carried on the accomplishments of those who came before you. And the view is so much better.\n\n\n24. Avoid software. The problem with software is that everyone has it.\n\n\n25. Don’t clean your desk. You might find something in the morning that you can’t see tonight.\n\n\n26. Don’t enter awards competitions. Just don’t. It’s not good for you.\n\n\n27. Read only left-hand pages. Marshall McLuhan did this. By decreasing the amount of information, we leave room for what he called our “noodle.”\n\n\n28. Make new words. Expand the lexicon. The new conditions demand a new way of thinking. The thinking demands new forms of expression. The expression generates new conditions.\n\n\n29. Think with your mind. Forget technology. Creativity is not device-dependent.\n\n\n30. Organization = Liberty. Real innovation in design, or any other field, happens in context. That context is usually some form of cooperatively managed enterprise. Frank Gehry, for instance, is only able to realize Bilbao because his studio can deliver it on budget. The myth of a split between “creatives” and “suits” is what Leonard Cohen calls a 'charming artifact of the past.'\n\n\n31. Don’t borrow money. Once again, Frank Gehry’s advice. By maintaining financial control, we maintain creative control. It’s not exactly rocket science, but it’s surprising how hard it is to maintain this discipline, and how many have failed.\n\n\n32. Listen carefully. Every collaborator who enters our orbit brings with him or her a world more strange and complex than any we could ever hope to imagine. By listening to the details and the subtlety of their needs, desires, or ambitions, we fold their world onto our own. Neither party will ever be the same.\n\n\n33. Take field trips. The bandwidth of the world is greater than that of your TV set, or the Internet, or even a totally immersive, interactive, dynamically rendered, object-oriented, real-time, computer graphic–simulated environment.\n\n\n34. Make mistakes faster. This isn’t my idea — I borrowed it. I think it belongs to Andy Grove.\n\n\n35. Imitate. Don’t be shy about it. Try to get as close as you can. You’ll never get all the way, and the separation might be truly remarkable. We have only to look to Richard Hamilton and his version of Marcel Duchamp’s large glass to see how rich, discredited, and underused imitation is as a technique.\n\n\n36. Scat. When you forget the words, do what Ella did: make up something else … but not words.\n\n\n37. Break it, stretch it, bend it, crush it, crack it, fold it.\n\n\n38. Explore the other edge. Great liberty exists when we avoid trying to run with the technological pack. We can’t find the leading edge because it’s trampled underfoot. Try using old-tech equipment made obsolete by an economic cycle but still rich with potential.\n\n\n39. Coffee breaks, cab rides, green rooms. Real growth often happens outside of where we intend it to, in the interstitial spaces — what Dr. Seuss calls “the waiting place.” Hans Ulrich Obrist once organized a science and art conference with all of the infrastructure of a conference — the parties, chats, lunches, airport arrivals — but with no actual conference. Apparently it was hugely successful and spawned many ongoing collaborations.\n\n\n40. Avoid fields. Jump fences. Disciplinary boundaries and regulatory regimes are attempts to control the wilding of creative life. They are often understandable efforts to order what are manifold, complex, evolutionary processes. Our job is to jump the fences and cross the fields.\n\n\n41. Laugh. People visiting the studio often comment on how much we laugh. Since I’ve become aware of this, I use it as a barometer of how comfortably we are expressing ourselves.\n\n\n42. Remember. Growth is only possible as a product of history. Without memory, innovation is merely novelty. History gives growth a direction. But a memory is never perfect. Every memory is a degraded or composite image of a previous moment or event. That’s what makes us aware of its quality as a past and not a present. It means that every memory is new, a partial construct different from its source, and, as such, a potential for growth itself.\n\n\n43. Power to the people. Play can only happen when people feel they have control over their lives. We can’t be free agents if we’re not free.\n","saved":"2008-12-31T12:31:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"ab808daf2faa2b16f16b777bc8c42bea","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7163f7ab13da/","kind":"page"},

It’s just that the choice you make is one that someone else has provided for you.\n\nFor example, road lines may be painted closer together as drivers approach a dangerous curve or potential safety hazard; by arranging the lines closer together, the driver is given the illusion that he/she is driving at a faster speed than he/she actually is, nudging the driver to hit the brakes and slow down.  Another example Thaler and Sunstein give is cafeteria design. By placing healthier food choices, like the salad bar, at the front of a cafeteria, a school might try to nudge students into making smarter diet choices. This idea is really familiar to user interface designers. Every time a dialog box pops up with OK and Cancel, one of them is highlighted, making it the default choice. Most of us have gotten used to clicking right past all of the Continues and OKs and Accepts that stand between us and getting our work done. In the process, we agree to terms and conditions, install useful pieces of software, and in general make all sorts of tacit and uninformed decisions that user interface designers have in essence made for us. It’s a lot of power to give over to someone else, but there’s no loss of freedom. You’re free to be as careful as you want and make every decision exactly the way you’d like. It’s just that most of us have long ago reached a decision saturation point and so tend to reserve our careful judgment for fewer and fewer things.\n\nWhich brings us to University design and the Web. By carefully crafting default positions, we could achieve all sorts of goals that might improve student success and retention. Say a University believed that having students stay in residence halls on campus was a major factor in improving student success and graduation rates. According to the Nudge philosophy, an effective way to dramatically increase the number of students choosing to stay on campus would be to, by default, assign them to a residence hall immediately upon acceptance of their application. There’s no loss of freedom since a student could easily change their residence hall assignment or even apply for an exception to live off-campus. But every student would start from a different place–by default they’re on campus instead of having to opt in to campus living. So those who don’t want to spend their decision energy on where they live in college will end up living on campus instead of the other way around.\n\nFeels a little like Big Brother but given that everyone has a choice, I think it’s high time it fall into our Web design as a way of helping students and the University achieve its goals.\n\nIt’s an interesting read either way, with some serious implications for public policy.\n\n","saved":"2008-12-18T18:18:33Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"9df34fe1512b450d2d0725a863bfd7d4","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d403d378f0e8/","kind":"page"},

At that time, our process was to gather everyone into one Skype call and record the session with WireTap Studio. That worked reasonably well, but there were a few problems.The quality of the end result was dependent on everyone's Skype connection. Throw in a bad rainstorm, a large download or an iffy wi-fi connection and quality suffered. The other issue was people talking over each other. Even the most disciplined podcasters do it occasionally. Since the raw audio was a single track, editing the overtalking out of the final show was difficult, if not impossible.A few episodes into it, we read Dan Benjamin's tips on recording a podcast with participants in multiple locations. He and John Gruber use a time-tested method called a \"double-ender\" when recording The Talk Show. As they talk via Skype, John and Dan record their own audio locally, and those two files are edited together as separate tracks. We've adopted a similar method using GarageBand, and it's been working wonderfully.

It didn't seem right, and I went immediately on the web to make a Genius appointment at our local Apple Store. Then I did a little digging around Apple support documents and found one that seemed promising. Was it possible I needed to reset the SMC (System Management Controller)? Well, dutifully following the instructions, I shut down my laptop, removed the power cord and unhooked the battery. I held down the power button for 5 seconds, put the power cord back on, and inserted the battery. Surprise surprise, my computer started up and showed about 4 hours of time left on the battery when I went back off the charger. Better still, it really did hold up for that amount of time, so things were back to normal. I canceled my Genius appointment and spent the day congratulating myself for finding the tip, and getting my battery back in shape.The SMC is a chip on the motherboard that can lose its way, and in my case it needed a little kick to get itself sorted out. This chip has been the focus of some controversy in the past, and Apple has updated the SMC firmware repeatedly. Anyway, this fix worked for me -- might work for you.

LED flashlights.   Wii Controllers.  The Canon macro ring flash.  Various remotes.  Toys. Etc…\n\nAs a result, we use a lot of batteries.   Thus, I decided that I would pick up a bulk pack of rechargeable AA batteries and find a decent charger to go with.\n\nAfter a bunch of research, every sign indicated that the La Crosse Technology BC-900 AlphaPower Battery Charger\n (pictured at left) was the best of the bunch.\n\nAnd it is.  Which is sad, in a way.\n\nThe charger does a brilliant job of testing, refreshing and generally charging AA and AAA cells.  It has multiple modes, including the ability to select the current level used to charge batteries (high current == fast charge, but lessens battery life) and does a great job of indicating the overall health of the cell.\n\nThe user interface, though, absolutely sucks.  Horribly.  It has four displays — one for each cell slot — and the contents are confusing at best. Definitely a device for which reading the manual at least twice and then looking up various online resources is required.\n\nHell, the damned display shows “null” for any slot without a battery in it.  If that isn’t an indication of total lack of UI design, I don’t know what is!\n\nBut, the damned thing works.  Really really well.\n\nIn fact, the first time I used it, I set it to refresh a set of batteries that I had been charging via some relatively cheap combo-pack charger.   It basically returned them to about double the capacity that I was seeing.\n\nWord of warning: Some really cheap battery chargers are, in fact, dangerous.  If they are simply constant current charging sources, they can do damage to the cells unless you pull the cells right when they are done charging (too soon — incomplete charge, too late — bad for the cells).   Seriously — at least invest in a “smart” charger that backs off when the cells are done!\n\nBeyond the obvious green rah-rah-love-the-earth win of moving to rechargeable batteries, there are some additional benefits that I hadn’t entirely considered but am now happy to enjoy.\n\nMost obviously, you don’t have to remember to buy batteries.  Myself and everyone I know invariably has a remote or two that has no batteries in it.  Why?  Because the batteries were scavenged for use in a device that was higher in the pecking order whose cells have gone dead.   With rechargeable batteries, though, the dead cells can be revived easily enough.\n\nWith ultra-low self discharge cells, you sacrifice a bit of overall capacity, but the cells hold their charge for much, much longer.   Thus, the cells “stored” in the rarely used remote will still have a charge after many months.\n\nSecondly — and this surprised me — rechargeable batteries seem to perform much better for longer in high current demand situations.  For example, my ring flash recycles back to ready much faster across more cycles than it did with disposable AA batteries.\n\nAll in all, the move to rechargeables has been good in our house.  Certainly, given the battery eating nature of the Canon flash and with several long trips where an iPod or iPhone needed power, the change has likely already paid for itself.  Certainly close.\n\n","saved":"2008-12-13T08:32:45Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"bab7df2e3a781360437ec56cf6ffa8a2","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e7d06bdb0f2c/","kind":"page"},

Normally, to achieve that level of current, the devices have to negotiate with each other.\n\nThe MintyBoost is a “dumb” USB power source in that it mimics the wall wart (very very tiny wall wart) style USB power supplies, providing enough bias on the data lines to make the device pull current without going into “negotiation” mode.\n\n\n\n\nAs a power supply, the Minty Boost is both smart and efficient.  It is built around Linear Technology’s LT1302 Micropower High Output Current Step-Up Adjustable and Fixed 5V DC/DC Converter.\n\nCombining the chip with a handful of discrete components creates a power supply that produces a steady 5 volts @ 600 milliamps.  It is designed for use with 2x 1.5 volt cells and will continue to operate even until the combined voltage output by the in-series cells drops to 2 volts.  When not in use, the chip draws extremely little current.\n\nI’m using GreenBatteries.COM’s Ultra Low Self Discharge cells. These rechargeable batteries are specifically designed not to self-drain over time when not in use.   Perfect for remote controls and camera flashes that don’t get used all the time (or are used rather intermittently when you think about it).\n\nI’ll likely pick up a set of the high-capacity non-ULSD rechargeables.\n\nThe whole assembly is hot-glued into an Altoids tin (with a bit of electrical tape as insulation).  Very convenient packaging and it is still quite easy to pop out the batteries.\n\nIt works quite well, though differently than other battery packs.  Namely, the device actually charges the iPhone’s battery.   That is, it isn’t an extender.   As such, the iPhone will happily suck whatever current — 600ma, in this case — out of the device until either the iPhone’s battery is charged or the charger is drained.   \n\nThe one caveat is that the device can actually drain the iPhone’s battery as the current falls.  You need to keep an eye on things and pull the charger’s plug once the iPhone’s battery icon changes from “charging” to “powered”.\n\nA small bit of inconvenience given that the device is around $20 and I don’t ever have to click “OK” on the “external device may be incompatible with your phone” dialog.\n\nYou can buy the kits from Lady Ada’s store.   It is fairly straightforward to solder together, too.\n\nAlternatively, you can try to grab the parts yourself.

I moved my music posts to my tumblog in late 2007, where I post a new song everyday. You can experience them here by clicking on the \"radio\" link in the upper nav links or by clicking on the black banner at the bottom of the page. I haven't stopped blogging about music, in fact I am doing it more than ever, but I have changed the way I do it. I like it better and I hope you do too.\n\n\nEvery year since I started this blog, I have listed my top 10 records of the year on this blog and this year will be no different. But I am not going to generate a new post every day for ten days like I've done in the past. I've actually been doing that on my tumblog for the past two weeks and if you are an active reader of that or an active listener of fredwilson.fm, then you already know what is on the list.\n\n\nThis year, I'll do a single blog post with all the selections in it. So without further ado, here's the list:\n\n\n1) The Stand-Ins - Okkervil River. This record is the back end of a two part effort that started with The Stage Names last year. Many people feel they should have released them both as a double album. You might ask,\"why is this your number one record this year and yet The Stage Names didn't even make your list last year?\" Well like Kings Of Leon last year, this band snuck up on me and I got into them a bit late. I like both records equally but this is a 2008 release and so it gets on the list. Okkervil is the band of the year for me and this is the record of the year even though my personal favorite of everything they've done is the Golden Opportunities Mixtape that they've never really even released commercially. If you don't get this band, you are like I was until this year, you just aren't trying hard enough.\n\n\n2). Oracular Spectacular - MGMT. From the opening of Time To Pretend to the line 15 seconds later about going to paris shooting heroin and fucking stars, you know this is going to be a fun ride. And it is. This record got more play in our family than any other this year. I am not sure who loves it most, but its likely to be my younger daughter or my son. Its not a family record by any means, its not even age appropriate for my son. But that has never gotten in the way of appreciating art in our family and this record is art, created by two young kids just out of Wesleyan. Listening to it makes me feel their age and that's a good thing.\n\n\n3) Here's To Being Here - Jason Collett. The first of two solo projects on this list. Jason's from Broken Social Scene, a personal favorite of mine, but honestly this record is better than anything they've ever done. Jason's put out something that sounds like what a late 60s/early 70s folk-rock record would sound like if it was made today. I listened to this record non-stop this summer. Its not in heavy rotation anymore but when I do put it back on, I can sing along to the entire record and I probably always will be able to do that. Its a fun, easy, rocking record and its great.\n\n\n4) For Emma Forever Ago - Bon Iver. If Jason Collett got me through the summer, Bon Iver got me through last winter. This record was made in a cabin in the northern woods the previous winter and it sounds like its still coming from there. Its getting cold again in NYC, and its time to make a hot cup of tea, curl up on the couch under a blanket, and put Bon Iver on.\n\n\n5) We Brave Bee Stings And All - Thao. I discovered Thao as I was coming out of my Bon Iver phase and she literally pulled me out of it. Thao is a young asian woman with a wonderful voice and light quirky songs. The Gotham Gal bought into Thao bigtime and this record was a constant in our family room/kitchen for most of this year.\n\n\n6) Little Joy - Little Joy. The second solo project on my top 10 list. This comes from Fabrizio Moretti, the Strokes' drummer. I haven't really loved anything the Strokes have done since their first record but I sure do love this record. It is a little joy. And its not as much a solo project as a collaboration between three friends. I can imagine them sitting around the porch playing these songs and deciding to record them. It reminds me a lot of Ry Cooder's Paradise and Lunch and David Lindley's El Rayo Ex, two other little joys of mine\n\n\n7) Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend. I remember late last year my oldest daughter played me a few Vampire Weekend tracks she'd found on hype machine. She said 'this is my new favorite band'. And so it was and it became our family's favorite band for a good while. One of the musical highlights of the year was going with the whole family to see Vampire Weekend at an outdoor music festival in Paris this summer. We knew all the songs and could sing all the words. So did all the parisian kids too\n\n\n8) Only By The Night - Kings Of Leon. Another musical highlight from our time in Paris was the KOL show we saw at Le Zenith. MGMT opened but I got everyone on the wrong metro train and we ended up only seeing KOL. Oh well. I think I've finally lived that down. They were playing a few songs from the new record this summer but I didn't hear it in its full incarnation until this fall. This record has been trashed by Pitchfork and others as a sellout. Its clearly an attempt to reach a mainstream audience and inherit U2's throne at the top of anthem rock. I don't like it as much as Aha Shake Heartbreak but then I don't think any record made this decade beats Aha Shake Heartbreak. Only By The Night features the best singing of Caleb's short but brilliant career and the songs are catchy and good. It may be mainstream but I still like it better than most of what I heard this year.\n\n\n9) Volume One - She and Him. M Ward is one of my favorite musicians working today. When I heard he'd teamed up with the beautiful and sweet Zoe Deschanel to make a record, I was curious and a bit baffled. But the result came out great. The gruff Matt and the sweet Zoe made a perfect pairing and like Jack White did a few years back with Loretta Lynn, M Ward made sure the songs came out great. This one's a real gem.\n\n\n10) Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust - Sigur Ros. This was a late bloomer for me. The record came out late summer but I didn't get into it until the past month. Sigur Ros is mood music and I guess I needed to get into the right mood. I did and this record delivered more Sigur Ros wonderfulness. If you like them, get this record.\n\n\nThere are six other records that I seriously considered for the top 10. So here's the Honorable Mention list:\n\n\nConor Oberst – Conor Oberst. Really tough call. Deserved to be on the top 10 list but couldn't figure out who to cut to get it there.\n\n\nFleet Foxes – Fleet Foxes Will absolutely be on Gotham Gal's list. It would easily be on our \"most listens in our family room/kitchen list\". Great record.\n\n\nKonk - Kooks. My son's favorite band. I am very partial to them too. This one has great songs but isn't as good as their debut. The lead singer Luke is one of the most talented songwriters out there right now.\n\n\nConsolers Of The Lonely - Raconteurs. Three or four great songs. If it were more consistent, it would have made top 10. Jack White is a guitar god.\n\n\nHometowns - The Rural Alberta Advantage. This one was suggested to me by a fellow tumbler who saw I was putting a top 10 list together last week. I bought the record that very day (on emusic, not on Amazon yet) and have been obsessed with it since. If I had more time with it, it might have made the list. My oldest daughter describes them as Decemberists meet Neutral Milk Hotel. I describe them as awesome.\n\n\nThat's it. I hope you like the list and I also hope that you click on those links and buy some music. And if you'd like to listen first, go to fredwilson.fm. I've been posting nothing but songs from these records for the past week and a half and you can listen to this list there. I just did while I was posting this and it's great.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        \n","saved":"2008-12-11T10:52:30Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a88620e0f9c8298669e9d0c9ecb20336","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0f148f7c2ee3/","kind":"page"},

Sometimes, change is just change.  In this case, we hope that these decisions both improve your Reader experience today, and pave the way for additional improvements down the line. So...what's changing, you ask?\n\n\nUpdated look and feel\n\nGoogle is all about speed, both under the hood as well as in the user experience. So, in order to make Reader act and feel more speedy and responsive, we've removed some visual clutter, simplified some features and given everything a bit more breathing room. Out with the old rounded corners, drop shadows and heavily saturated colors -- in with a softer palette, faster components and a fresh new look.\n\n\n\n\n(old)\n\n\n\n\n\n(new)\n\n\n\nCollapsible navigation\n\nEach section of the navigation pane now has its own options menu and minimize/maximize controls. You can collapse each major section of navigation down to one line and focus on only the things you choose to use.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriends get promoted\n\nShared items have grown up and gotten their own section in the navigation pane. You can collapse this entire section and use the title to see everything your friends have shared, or leave it open to track friends with shared items. (Don't forget that you can add new friends in \"Sharing settings\".)\n\n\nHide unread counts\n\nWe've heard you loud and clear. For some of you (and some of us on the Reader team), unread counts are a source of anxiety and can feel more like a to-do list than the random awesomeness of the Internet. So to help you sleep better at night, we've added the ability to turn off unread counts for each section of navigation independently. Subscriptions with unread items will still appear as bold, and you can see the number of unread items if you hold your mouse over the subscription name. To really set yourself free, try turning them off for all sections. (Ahhhhhh, now doesn't that feel better?)\n\n\nMore feed bundles!\n\nFeed bundles are small sets of feeds related to a topic that you can subscribe to all at once. Historically, these were done \"by hand\" by the Reader team, but this just wasn't working out. So we've written a program to make \"bundles\" for us – no more manual editing of bundles, and a much richer and interesting set of subscriptions for you to choose from. We've added a bunch of new topic-based bundles for easier feed discovery. Just find the \"Browse for stuff\" link in the main navigation pane and look for the \"Browse all bundles\" link on the bundles tab. Now, you can learn more than you ever wanted to about NASCAR, yoga or knitting.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLooking for something that's moved?\n\n\nThe \"Refresh\" button from the subscription list is now in the Subscriptions options menu or triggered by simply clicking on the word \"Subscriptions\"\nThe \"Show all - updated\" controls are now in the Subscriptions options menu.\nThe \"Add subscription\" button has moved to the top of the navigation pane.\n\n\nAs always, we love to get feedback in our discussion group, and we look for it in a number of other sources -- please keep it coming!\n\n\n","saved":"2008-12-04T19:39:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"109b3bdd0a44ff08b978d0a368dc8fd7","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/97eecdbf2e75/","kind":"page"},

Constantly Engaging\"","note":"\"No holds barred,\" Richard Nixon urges to David Frost as the two prepare to sit down for a series of interviews in 1977.\n\n\nAs \"Frost/Nixon\" powerfully reveals, that statement contains equal parts promise and threat from both the disgraced figure on screen and the actor playing him.\n\n\nFrank Langella is positively formidable as the former president, a skilled manipulator under optimal circumstances whose desperate desire for rehabilitation makes him extra dangerous.\n\n\nLangella isn't doing a dead-on impression, which is preferable; Nixon's quirks have been imitated so frequently and poorly, such an approach risks lapsing into caricature. Rather, he has internalized a volatile combination of inferiority, awkwardness, quick wit and a hunger for power. He loses himself in the role with rumbles and growls, with a hunched carriage and the slightest lift of the eyebrows.\n\n\nLangella and Michael Sheen, also excellent as the breezy British TV personality Frost, reprise the parts they originated in Peter Morgan's Tony Award-winning stage production. But you never feel like you're watching a play on film: The way Morgan has opened up the proceedings in his screenplay feels organic under the direction of Ron Howard, who's crafted his finest film yet, and one of the year's best.\n\n\n\"Frost/Nixon\" is talky and weighty as it digs into the details of Vietnam and Watergate, but it moves along with a fluidity that keeps it constantly engaging. Morgan's script also contains a healthy amount of dark humor, mostly the result of something crass or inappropriate Nixon has said. Good thing, too, because the tension starts percolating early and only grows.\n\n\nUpon seeing the image of Nixon smiling eerily as he boards a helicopter after resigning the presidency, Frost stands in front of a television transfixed. Hoping to lose the perception that he's a lightweight and gain some credibility -- or rather, achieve fame in America -- he approaches Nixon for an interview and promises money he doesn't have.\n\n\nSheen is doing something so subtle here, and as in his insightful work as Tony Blair in Morgan's \"The Queen,\" he's likely to get upstaged, unfortunately. All his Frost wants is to be liked, but he strives for that with the slightest obsequiousness. Critics may mistake his playboy demeanor for arrogance, but it truly seems to spring from longing.\n\n\nThe former president, meanwhile, hopes to use the opportunity to return to public life among the East Coast elite: He's bored with retirement and feels humiliated droning on for banquet crowds for cash. He wants an interviewer with heft, but he'll take the $600,000 his agent, Swifty Lazar (Toby Jones), has secured by saying yes to Frost.\n\n\nAnd so they face each other for four extended interviews, which comprise the film's second hour. Frost has gotten help cramming for this exam from British TV producer John Birt (Matthew Macfadyen), veteran journalist Bob Zelnick (Oliver Platt) and author and Nixon critic James Reston Jr. (Sam Rockwell). Rebecca Hall provides moral support as the sultry socialite Frost picked up in first class while flying to the United States.\n\n\nIn Nixon's corner are loyalists including the fierce strategist Jack Brennan (Kevin Bacon) and, amusingly, a young Diane Sawyer. Performances from the chief supporting players are uniformly excellent, especially from Platt and Rockwell, whose characters rib each other and share a disdain of Frost's celebrity.\n\n\nBut Zelnick puts it best when he calls Frost \"the most unlikely white knight ... but a man who had one big advantage over all of us. He understood television.\" And television exposed both Frost and Nixon for their true natures -- for better and for worse.\n\n\n\"Frost/Nixon,\" a Universal Pictures release, is rated R for some language. Running time: 122 minutes. Four stars out of four.\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n","saved":"2008-12-04T13:32:53Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4ff049c5355286c7fd3cea2878851371","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3e90b7b58d77/","kind":"page"},

It was my first visit to that sub-temple, and I'll\npost more about it later, but suffice to say that it was\nspectacular.

Having run into the problem on my Windows XP box, I decided to try\nthe recovery on my Mac.\n\n\nI used the most-excellent PhotoRec software to\nrecover the files. It's a command-line program that can run on many\ndifferent operating systems (DOS, Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD...), so\nI did the recovery within a Mac Terminal window.\n\n\n\n\nFirst, I mounted the damaged card, and used the df command to see its raw device name:\n\n\n\n\n% df\nFilesystem              512-blocks      Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on\n/dev/disk0s2             155367520 148986336 5869184    96%    /\ndevfs                          208       208       0   100%    /dev\n<volfs>                       1024      1024       0   100%    /.vol\n/dev/disk1s1               7536512       704 7535808     0%    /Volumes/NIKON D700\n\n\n\nThe details of what you see would be different on your system, but the\nimportant thing here is to be able to identify the line with the memory\ncard (in my example, the last line), and to then identify the “raw device\nname” at the start of that line. The raw device name will always start with\n“/dev/” and in my example, it's “/dev/disk1s1”.\n\n\n(If there's a way to connect a memory card without OSX mounting it, I'd\nlike to know, because that would be safer.)\n\n\nYou then need to tell OS X to pretend that the memory card is no longer mounted while actually leaving it physically connected to the computer.\nThus, without disconnecting it, run the following (using the raw device name you find in the first step):\n\n\n\n\n% sudo umount /dev/disk1s1\n\n\n\nYou'll have to be an administrator, and will have to enter your password.\n\n\nNow, run photorec. The Mac version is in the “darwin” subfolder\nof the download folder, so after changing directories to the download\nfolder, here's what I ran (again, you'll want to change the raw device name\nto whatever you found):\n\n\n\n\n% darwin/photorec /dev/disk1s1\nPhotoRec 6.10, Data Recovery Utility, July 2008\nChristophe GRENIER <grenier@cgsecurity.org>\nhttp://www.cgsecurity.org\n\nPhotoRec is free software, and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.\n\nSelect a media (use Arrow keys, then press Enter):\nDisk /dev/disk1s1 - 8152 MB / 7775 MiB (RO)\n\n[Proceed ]  [  Quit  ]\n\nNote: Some disks won't appear unless you're root user.\nDisk capacity must be correctly detected for a successful recovery.\nIf a disk listed above has incorrect size, check HD jumper settings, BIOS\ndetection, and install the latest OS patches and disk drivers.\n\n\n\nI made sure that the raw device name was highlighted, then pressed\nenter. It'll progress through a few more screens where you tell it that the\ncard has an Intel/PC partition-table type, that you want to do the\n“whole disk”, that the filesystem is “Other”, and where you\nwant to save whatever files it can recover. (I had just created a “found”\nfolder on my Desktop, and used that.)\n\n\nMake sure, of course, that you have at least enough free space on the\ndisk as the size of the card.\n\n\nPhotoRec took about two hours to process My Transcend 8GB “300×”\ncompact-flash card, and recovered all the pictures from the day, and\nhundreds of random other shots going back more than a month. I reformat the\ncard each time I go out, but that just marks the disk's table of contents as\nempty, without actually clearing out any data, so the data for random old\npictures remained on the card for PhotoRec to find.\n\n\n\nNikon D700 + Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 @ 70 mm — 1/200 sec, f/6.3, ISO 220 —\nfull exif & map — nearby photos\n\n\nPhotoRec does not recover the original filename with a recovered file,\nso whatever images it finds have names filled with apparently random\nnumbers, like “f1535616.jpg”. If your digital-photo workflow involves\nrenaming images based on, say, the image-capture date and time, you don't\ncare what the in-camera filename was, but my workflow keeps the\nin-camera filename, so i wanted to rename the files to what they would have\nbeen.\n\n\nI used this magic incantation, which requires exiftool:\n\n\n\n\nexiftool -q -p 'mv ${filename} JF7_00${filenumber}.NEF;'  *.nef  | sh\n\n\n\nI don't know about other kinds of cameras, but Nikon SLRs include in the\nimage file a “FileNumber” bit of metadata that tells what number was used\nin the in-camera filename. I use exiftool to reference that number,\ninsert it into the pattern for the kind of filename I want, then combine\nthat with a file-rename command.\n\n\nSpiffy.\n\n\n\nIt's probably overkill, but I then used the built-in Mac “Disk Utility”\nto zero-fill the entire memory card, then re-formatted it in my camera.\nGood as new.\n\n\n\nNikon D700 + Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 @ 70 mm — 1/250 sec, f/6.3, ISO 200 —\nfull exif & map — nearby photos\n\n\nThe pictures I recovered are nice, but it's not like I couldn't have\njust walked down there again today to take most of them. I'm happy to have\nrecovered them, but I'm most happy about having this experience under my\nbelt, so that these techniques will be at my disposal should I ever be\nfaced with the loss of important pictures.\n\n\nIn thanks for making this experience possible, I sent €25 to the guy who wrote\nPhotoRec, Christophe Grenier. Thanks, Christophe!\n","saved":"2008-12-03T13:03:34Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"af9a84f07ad68d4bc92497dc2aa2d7a1","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/14bdb1068ead/","kind":"page"},

Despite these low numbers, most of the netizens I know seem to be active subscribers.\n\nWhile RSS feeds give us the latest news, blog posts, and site updates through a single interface, it’s not farfetched to think that they can also be a major time suck.  If you notice that this is happening, that you’re spending more time on your feed reader than you want to, then perhaps it’s time to quit your feed reader altogether.\n\nOr you know, you can just fine-tune your subscription list\n \nDo a review. Whether it’s every month or every quarter, you should review your feed subscriptions regularly.  Without a review, it’s easy to overlook “dead” blogs and sites that are no longer relevant to you.  If you don’t review your subscriptions once in a while, the best time to start is now.  Don’t worry, you don’t have to put it in your calendar or anything - just do it when you feel like it’s time.\n\nWhat value does each feed give? When doing your review, it’s important to evaluate what makes each feed valuable.  Does it give you a daily dose of how to further your career?  Were you given ideas that allowed you to lessen your home expenses?  Does it make you laugh?\n\nAlso consider how frequent you get something valuable from a subscription.  Is every update valuable?  Is it valuable at least once a week?  Is it valuable every few months?  For some subscriptions, you might be saying to yourself “Well, it hasn’t been valuable yet…but it might be later on.”\n\nFor cases like these, I refer to an ancient Sumerian saying goes “Get it only when you need it.” Okay, maybe I made that one up, but it’s a rule that applies to kitchenware, packing, and yes, even RSS feeds.  If your reason for buying fondue forks is “You’ll never know when we’ll have a fondue party”, then odds are these forks will gather dust for several months until you need to use them - if ever that actually happens.\n\nThe same goes for RSS feeds.  “You’ll never know when they’ll post something I can use…” is a very flimsy reason for subscribing to something - and I know this from experience.  If there’s particular information you need, then that’s the time you go out and look for it, rather than hoarding useless feeds in the hopes that something useful might come up.\n\nRemove blogs that seem to parrot each other. I used to subscribe to over 10 interior design and architecture blogs - until I realized that they just crossed-link to each other and posted the same pictures anyway.  Remember that in these cases, the Unsubscribe button is your friend.\n\nFor blogs with frequent updates within the day, subscribe to the weekly or monthly feed instead.  There are many blogs which post several times each day.  Included in that group is one of my all-time favorites, Lifehacker.  Listen, I love Lifehacker.  I believe it’s an invaluable resource to me. But if I subscribed to their regular feed, which has 8 to 12 new items on most days, that’s a lot of time taken away from my work, especially if I love a post and feel the need to file it somewhere.\n\nThe good news is that they offer a variety of feed options.  They offer a feed for top stories only, a monthly feed (which I subscribe to), and several tag-specific feeds as well.  If some of your favorite blogs have these options, take advantage of them.\n\nI wish some of my other favorite blogs would have tag-specific feeds as well.  While there are many bloggers whose work I love reading regularly, I really don’t want to know what’s going on in their love life and what they had for dinner.  Other blogs, especially those which offer real-time news, should also consider these multiple feed options if they don’t want readers to get turned off by the massive amount of content they publish, no matter how great the content is.\n\nI know that having a feed reader has made my online reading life much simpler, since I can go through my favorite blogs in one go.  But without the occasional review, I know I’ll be committing an extra couple of hours each day just going through new items that don’t give me anything back for the 10 minutes I spent reading them.\n\nHow many feed subscriptions do you have?  Do you review them once in a while to delete the ones you don’t really need or want?\n\nImage by Svilen Mushkatov from Sxc.hu\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConcentric Hosted IT Solutions and Web Hosting\n\n\nClick here to save cost on your IT demands\n\n\n\n\n","saved":"2008-12-02T16:00:53Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"ce4d68ff9bfab384d991ba07b5bc7caf","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7c03c77fa9e5/","kind":"page"},

The server instances pull this configuration and bootstrap from there using a simple set of rake tasks and a server provisioning tool, Sprinkle. You could use SimpleDB for a similar purpose. One could serve as a backup of the other, given their similar APIs. Either way means fewer moving parts.\n\n\n\nAnother vital EC2 feature is passing arbitrary data to an instance. Many bundled images now automatically execute a blob of text you pass to the instance on boot as a shell script, like those supplied by Alestic. We use this to sync configuration scripts and packages from S3.\n\n\n\nWhile reading Tim Dysinger’s article on using EC2 as a simple DNS, I thought this was a great way to remove the need for an internal DNS server on EC2 for smaller setups. We use a similar technique: specifying a single EC2 Security Group for a host as its identifier. Each server generates its hosts file every minute. Simple, effective and one fewer moving part.\n\n\n\nSecurity groups are useful for describing roles and other identifying information about each host. We use this information to generate Nagios monitoring configuration files. For example, a security group named “role: app” will automatically enable HTTP checks and Passenger memory checks.\n\n\n\nAll this means less dependence on a centralized configuration server or pushing large sets of commands over SSH manually. While these techniques are effective, they require more moving parts and their own care and maintenance.\n\n\n\nAs your application’s complexity increases, you’ll thank yourself for the opportunity to reduce the complexity underneath it.\n\n  \n","saved":"2008-12-02T12:37:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"dc997fadb653bcdf51159355332d2da4","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/963a4c3375c5/","kind":"page"},

This is particularly exciting given the recent demise of the much loved VisualHub (although the open-source reworking of VisualHub via the TranscoderRedux project is underway). In fact, the new HandBrake incorporates some of the same ffmpeg libraries that did the heavy lifting in VisualHub. Among the many changes are an updated interface as well as improvements to both audio handling and video quality.

And no matter how we look for the cause, sometimes theres just no way to figure out whats been giving your WordPress installation the hiccups. Thank goodness somebody came up with WP-Tuner.\n\nWP-Tuner for WordPress is a powerful and easy way to answer hard questions about why your blog is slow or cranky. Whats causing the slowdown? Is it a plugin? Is it your host? This plugin will help you find out. One problem, though, with this particular plugin is that its not for the novice. Advanced WP users will be able to understand what the plugin tells them, but it may not be that obvious for everyone.\n\nWP-Tuner is recommended to be used by:\n\n\nWordPress site administrators\nWordPress plugin and theme designers\nWordPress developers\n\nWP-Tuner can also be used with a number of advanced ways, like hooking any WordPress action to it. You can even use it to time anything at all in WordPress.\n\nInstalling WP-Tuner is as easy as installing any other plugin: upload using your favorite FTP client, and activate via the plugins page. Be sure to read the plugins readme file and the associated help documents before using it.\n\nUsed with a bit of common sense, this powerful plugin will help blog administrators as well as software developers improve their WordPress blog performance.","saved":"2008-11-22T10:35:06Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"f728d49087cee3ecfee73150a21c5d82","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/713e8a545911/","kind":"page"},

Growl is best known for its ability to display small, floating notification windows when certain actions are performed in applications, but it also supports the ability to play a sound.\n\n\n\nPeter describes the process of adding a successful post sound in this manner.

To say that I was stunned, surprised and delighted when suddenly a gorgeous high definition TV station appeared on my Apple 24\" Cinema display, would be doing this little product a disservice!\nEvery available over-the-air station worked flawlessly and it was easy to switch back-n-forth between channels. As I fooled around with it and viewed some content, I realized how much I would've loved having this device when the debates were going on (too often I had stuff to do at my desk and could've had live TV running watching them, instead of having to record the first half and watch it later). \n\r\n\r\nAfter several days of using TitanTV (the online listing service) and trying out the personal video recording (PVR) functions, getting a signal became more problematic for some reason. Could be my location in the house (my home office is in front while most towers are located directionally behind my house) so I connected it to my in-attic antenna with the outlet in my office. Perfect once again (though I never did figure out why it was great and then intermittent).\r\n \nA screengrab of a kids animated show on my local PBS affiliate and it was spectacular!\nNext, I brought the Pinnacle TV upstairs along with my Macbook Pro and tried it out with the included antenna. NOW I had zero trouble with the included antenna signal since our second floor is up high and with perfect sightlines to where the broadcast towers would be. As such, I'm using it upstairs often.\nThis HD stick is certainly not a replacement for an HDTV or digital video recorder combination, but for traveling, in a home office, bedroom or spare room, it's a remarkably good solution, especially for the laughingly small $129 price point.\nThe Pinnacle TV for Mac HD USB mini stick is now on my strong recommendation list due to its \"perfect high geek factor and low price.\"  That said, I'm also strongly recommending it for non-geeks since it's so simple to setup and use. Check it out for yourself and see.\n\n \n","saved":"2008-11-16T22:54:17Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e0378722126da2af9a33e917a2956d58","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d5facd3db10e/","kind":"page"},

This small device (50mm x 103mm x 15mm) weighs four ounces and features up to 2 hours of battery life, an LED lamp with a lifespan of 20,000 hours and mini USB connectivity. The manufacturers claim that images can be viewed at 60\" (measured diagonal from corner to corner) from a maximum distance of 2.6 meters. The AV Input combines stereo audio and composite video via a 1 x 2.5mm 4 pole jack socket.In the video above, it's connected to an iPod Classic and the image looks pretty good. Of course, our experience is only as good as the quality of the clip, but it definitley looks like a fun device. Videos, images and even slide presentations could be run off of your iPod and pocket projector, eliminating the need to bring a laptop, adaptor and full-sized projector to your meeting.The proof is in the pudding, and we'd like to get our hands on one of these.

With Coda Plug-in Creator, even users who aren't familiar with Cocoa can create plugins, which follow a similar format to TextMate's command bundles. The plug-in functionality mirrors that of up-and-comer Espresso, with its Sugar plug-ins. Espresso is still in beta.\n\nAlso included in the update is the Open Quickly command: a Spotlight-like command that searches your sites for files to open. Hit Control+Q to show the Open Quickly window, type a few characters, and open one of the files listed to get to work. \n\nOn top of that, Coda improves spell checking support, and now includes an Objective-J syntax mode. Full release notes are available here.\n\nCoda 1.6 is available from Panic's website, or from inside the app by selecting \"Check for Updates\" from the Coda menu.\nTUAWCoda 1.6 released, offers plug-in support originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Tue, 11 Nov 2008 17:00:00 EST.

That's right, the Energy Saver icon has changed from an old incandescent bulb to a newer, more energy-efficient fluorescent bulb. Now you will only have to change the energy saver icon every 7 years, but be careful when you dispose of the old icons because they contain mercury (just kidding).

The app allows users to syndicate their current location to their friends, meet nearby Brightkite users, and lifestream with the equivalent of geo-encoded Tweets.  The application is tied to Yahoo’s Fire Eagle, which allows users to manage their location from a number of other services.  The site also uses databases to automatically associate POI’s and cross streets with GPS locations, so user positions aren’t simply displayed as coordinates.\n\nThe application looks impressive, but it will have plenty of competition: there’s already at least six major geo-location networks vying to get some traction on the iPhone.   Founder Martin May acknowledges that Brightkite shares many similarities with other geo-enabled social networks, but points out that Brightkite is available worldwide, while most of its competitors are not.  He also says that Brightkite’s SMS integration and existing user base of 50,000 users through its website and other mobile platforms may also help give it a leg up, though some of its competitors have estbalished users bases and distributions on other platforms as well.\n\nIf you’d like to try Brightkite’s main website (you’ll have to wait a few more days for the iPhone app), you can sign up for the private beta through this special link.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDisclosure: Brightkite competitor Loopt should be considered a TechCrunch sponsor.\n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchBase the free database of technology companies, people, and investors\n\n\n\n\n   \n","saved":"2008-10-17T02:32:34Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"c5c8a7c2c68f1cb555084cef07f42b2c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a0575dbace0a/","kind":"page"},

Instead, I’ll cram it in to this one post.\n\nFirst, John McCain. Two recent giant disappointments. I was appalled when people called it a stunt that he suspended his campaign to return to Washington to work on the bailout bill. In the end, they were correct, even if that wasn’t his intention all along. While he returned to Washington for the weekend after the debate, he did not stick around (or work hard enough) to get it passed the following week. Clearly, it wasn’t his most important priority.\n\nThe second McCain disappointment is even more appalling though. One of his most often repeated stump speeches is how he will veto any bill that includes pork in it. Further, he claims he will name names, and make the sponsors of the pork famous. Well, as urgent as the bailout supposedly was/is, it is loaded with pork, and McCain voted yes. Of course he couldn’t have vetoed it, but he could have shown the courage to say that regardless of how important the bill was, he could not in good conscience vote for it as long as it represented politics-as-usual.\n\nNext, Congress in general (both sides of the aisle), but Democrats in particular. The sub-prime mess is a direct outgrowth of the desire of Democrats to give away housing to those who can’t afford it. It gets really complicated after that generalization. I may write a long post on that some day as well (I was on the inside on Wall Street in the 80’s, supporting the mortgage business, and I invested in a sub-prime lending technology company as a VC), but this isn’t that post.\n\nClip after clip shows clearly that both the Bush Administration, and specifically John McCain (in addition to other House and Senate Republicans), were calling for more regulation and better oversight for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Democrats (specifically Barney Frank, Christopher Dodd and Charles Schumer) consistently defended Fannie and Freddie, and continued to praise the people we now know were clearly defrauding the public (through accounting shenanigans and other wrong-doing).\n\nThose Democratic leaders simply won’t apologize for being wrong (I’m not suggesting they knew the extent of the wrong-doing, just say you made a mistake!). Worse, they continue to blame Bush and the Republicans for their desire to deregulate. That’s a heinous lie (blatantly obvious from watching any of the testimony from 2003 onwards!), and is beyond shameless.\n\nThe Republicans may not be worse, but they have no reason to consider themselves above the fray. Saying stupid things, whether for political gain or not (and whether they work or not) is simply shameless. When the bailout bill was defeated in the House the first time around, Congressman Eric Cantor held up the text of Nancy Pelosi’s speech, and chided her for giving a partisan speech and turning just enough Republicans off to cause the vote to fail.\n\nThere’s simply no good way to spin that. First, if true, shame on the Republicans for allowing a speech to change their vote. You should be voting your conscience, not your ego. Second, if it’s not true, then he shouldn’t have said it, just to give Republicans cover, and attempt to embarrass Pelosi. Third, Pelosi was stupid to inject partisanship into something that clearly required Republican support.\n\nMost important in that first failed bailout vote was the lack of Democratic support, and the complete lack of honesty associated with the reasoning behind it. Aside from the fact that the Democrats control both houses, and could have passed the bill without a single Republican vote, all the Democrats needed was for the 12 Democrats who sit on Barney Frank’s committee (who voted no) to have voted yes, for it to have passed!\n\nFolks, here’s the head of the House Financial Services committee, and one of the top supporters of Fannie and Freddie, cheerleading the bill, and his own committee members (I’m speaking specifically of the Democrats!) vote against it. These are the people who should be most familiar with the issues and the reasons why the bill needed to be passed. Yet, in the face of this, Barney Frank has no trouble playing to the cameras and offering to speak to any Republican whose feelings were hurt by Pelosi’s speech. Incredible!\n\nLastly (on the Congressional side), we have reports that Pelosi specifically absolved Democrats (in advance!) from voting against the bill, because they were in tight re-election campaigns, and needed to say they voted against the bill. Either the bill is that important, and couldn’t afford to fail (for the good of the entire country!), or, re-electing Democrats is much more important, and it’s OK if the country goes into a depression in order for that to happen. Again, shameless!\n\nFinally, Barack Obama. I don’t ascribe any ill-will to Obama in regards to his love of this country and his desire to lead it honorably. That said, he’s exactly like every other politician (McCain included) who not only will do anything to get elected (there’s zero change there folks!), but he’s also every bit as calculated, for many years, to get to be the President.\n\nI don’t believe that because he associated with William Ayers and his wife that he condones domestic terrorism. I do believe that he knowingly associated with them in order to further his own political agenda.\n\nI don’t believe that because he was a member of Reverend Wright’s church that he beleives the heinous things that Reverend Wright regularly spewed. I do believe that Obama wanted the street cred that came with being a member of that particular church in order to further his political ambitions. I do believe that he well knew exactly what Reverend Wright was preaching (regardless of his claims to the contrary).\n\nHis ties to Tony Rezko are blatantly obvious. It’s not that Rezko is a convicted criminal that should matter. It’s that Obama directly engaged in dealings with him that personally benefited Obama!\n\nTo all of the above (and a million more examples), I say that they are all shameless. They care not a lick about any of us. They care about power, control, wealth, and most important, their own egos. There isn’t one of them that is different, regardless of whether they call themselves a Democrat or Republican.\n\nShame on all of them!\n\n\nTags: Barack Obama, John McCain, Politics\n\nRelated posts\n\nWe Get What We Deserve (0)\nSelling the Presidency (2)\nPresidential Candidates Three (0)\nProfessional Apologists (2)\nObama Speech Earns Nomination (6)\n","saved":"2008-10-06T13:47:22Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e331f2f86d59b6f1deb418b44da40d12","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3f965375590b/","kind":"page"},

What do you see when you glance at the Categories list? If you’re anything like most bloggers, it will include categories which:\n\n\n\nYou used a couple of years ago but don’t use any more\nHave only one or two posts in\nHave names that aren’t self-explanatory\nSeemed like a good idea at the time, when you added them for one specific post\n\n\nThere’s plenty of blogging advice about how to craft posts, how to gain readers, and how to start your first blog - but surprisingly little has been written about how to choose your categories. The only advice I could find was from Lorelle on Wordpress:\n\n\n\nMost people add categories on the fly or list everything they want to talk about in their categories and then work to fill them up as they go. I made a plan for this blog’s articles and I wanted to keep the focus narrow and the structure clean. I believe working from a very specific plan helps keep a blog on track and more successful. Plans can change over time, but start your journey with a good map.\n\n\n\nI’ve just launched a new blog (Alpha Student), which has meant a lot of planning, brainstorming and head-scratching. One of the biggest puzzles has been how to choose suitable categories - which has led me to think hard about how I use categories as a reader, and how categories are typically used in the blogosphere.\n\n\n\nI thought a good place to start was my first blog, The Office Diet, where I followed a similar process to most bloggers:\n\n\n\nI entered the categories that I thought I might write on when I launched the blog without putting much thought into it.\nI added more categories as I went along (for series, or any post which didn’t fit an existing category).\n\n\nIn doing so, I unwittingly made a number of common mistakes. I’m going to go through four big ones - and bring in some examples from other blogs where I think the categories list could have been more effectively planned.\n\n\n\nAnd once I’ve shown you some of the mistakes, I’ll explain how you can choose your categories effectively in order to avoid making them.\n\n\nMistake 1: Failing to Plan\nThe mistake which most bloggers make is failing to plan at all - and, if they do plan, failing to adjust that plan to fit reality!\n\n\n\nWith The Office Diet, I knew I wanted to create a few downloadable resources for readers in the first month (January) - such as a food diary template. So I had a category called “Resources” which was supposed to hold this sort of posts. In practice, though, I’ve only written a handful of these.\n\n\n\nI suspect some other bloggers have met similar problems, when they’ve either not planned ahead (ask yourself “Will I use this category frequently?” if you add one for a specific post) or where their plans haven’t quite matched up with what really happens.\n\n\n\nFor example, on The Simple Dollar, Trent has the categories “Décor” and “S&P 500” which only have one post in each. “Sunday Conversation” only has three posts. Although this is conjecture, I think Trent probably added those categories on a day when he wrote on those specific topics - and didn’t plan ahead for whether he’d use them again.\n\n\nMistake 2: Using Categories for Series\nLots of big blogs, including ProBlogger, Daily Blog Tips and many more use categories for series. I did the same on The Office Diet, when I wrote the “Basics”, “Healthy Mind” and “Excuse-Busting” series. I now think that this was a mistake.\n\n\n\nReaders who come to a blog for the first time are likely to use your categories to navigate to posts that they’re interested in. Category names often aren’t self-explanatory, and if the series ran a year ago, all the posts in that category will be old. If you run a lot of series, your category list will quickly become cluttered up. And navigating through a series by clicking on a category often means scrolling through multiple pages of posts - often a pain for readers.\n\n\n\nI would suggest that, for the majority of blogs, posts in a series should be categorised “normally” just like any other posts. Each post in the series should have a link at the top and bottom going to an index post (or even a page) which holds links to the whole series. You might also want to include a link to the previous and next posts in the series from each.\n\n\n\nFor a shortish series (under 10 posts), you could even put the index at the top of every post - the Men with Pens do this to great effect on their Guest Posting series (as an aside, this is a great read for any blogger thinking about writing guest posts). Or put it at the bottom of every post, like Sonia on Remarkable Communication is doing with her Objection Blaster Series.\n\n\nMistake 3: Categories at Different Granularities\nA very common problem with categories is not keeping your categories at the same level of granularity. By that, I mean that some of your categories are probably very broad and others are very narrow. This is often caused by failing to plan: it’s a good idea to sit down for an hour or two and decide roughly how many categories you want, and how broad or detailed that means they’ll be.\n\n\n\nBlogs which are narrowly focused on a niche will probably have narrow, specific topics as readers are likely to be looking for expert advice in particular areas. Blogs with a very wide remit need broad categories to help readers weed out the areas that aren’t interesting to them.\n\n\n\nOn Problogger, I would suggest that the categories list has some items which cover too narrow an area. For example, “Yahoo Publishing Network” is very specific when compared with categories like “Advertising” and “Blog Networks”.\n\n\nMistake 4: Inconsistent Category Naming\nI’d bet good money that, at some point, you’ve come across a categories list on a blog and wondered what the heck some of the categories meant. Perhaps most were self explanatory, like “Reader Questions” or “Content Writing” but then you came across “Special”. Special what? Try to make sure your category names can be understood without the reader having to click on them to figure out what they might mean.\n\n\n\nOr maybe you see a blog which has a nice neat list of one-word categories, then one which is five words long so gets a disproportionate amount of space compared to its importance. (Usually, the shorter the name of a category, the broader its remit and the larger the number of posts it contains.)\n\n\n\nThis is a tiny point - but be consistent with capitalisation. One of my favourite blogs, The Change Blog, capitalises all the categories except two (“blog carnival” and “personal growth”) - to me, this looks a little odd.\n\n\n\nAnother problem is when some of the categories have quite formal names (“Finances, Frugality, Investment”) and others are slangy or chatty (“Quick tips”, “Easy wins”). The way in which you name your categories is important in setting the tone for your whole blog. On most blog templates, the categories list displays on the front page: that means you need to put at least as much thought into the wording of your categories as you do into the wording of your headlines.\n\n\nDoing It Right\nNow that I’ve been through the common mistakes people make with categories, you might be looking at your own blog in dismay - or rethinking your plans for the one you’re about to launch.\n\n\n\nI mentioned earlier that I’ve just launched a new blog which took a considerable amount of planning. You can see the categories page at www.alphastudent.com/categories (I chose not to list the categories on the front page).\n\n\nRule 1: As Few Categories As Possible\nDue to my blog design, I needed to keep the number of categories down to make sure they fitted comfortably in the list. I also wanted room to show the latest post from each category.\n\n\n\nMost bloggers would benefit from using as few categories as possible. This avoids blog clutter in your sidebar, and avoids presenting readers with a forbidding list of dozens of different topics.\n\n\n\nAlpha Student has a wide remit - “Helping you make the most of your time at university” - and covers everything from advice on exam technique to lists of flash games to play when you need a break. I decided on the categories:\n\n\n\nAcademic\nCareer\nFinancial\nPersonal\nPractical\nSocial\n\n\n\nWhen you’re planning your blog, think about how many categories you really need … can two of your topics be conflated into one are?\n\n\n\nIf you’ve got an existing blog, take a look at your categories list and note any which are superfluous.\n\n\nRule 2: Don’t Be too Specific\nTry not to be too specific, at least to start with. I deliberately kept my topics very broad. I could have broken down “Academic” into “Essays”, “Exams”, “Lectures”, “Seminars” and so on. When your blog is new, having dozens of categories means that lots of them will only contain one or two posts for a while.\n\n\n\nEven if your blog’s been going for a while, you’ll find that some categories are too narrow - anything which contains under 5% of the total posts on your blog can probably be ditched.\n\n\nRule 3: Think Ahead\nI know that with Alpha Student, I’ll want to run some series. For example, I’m going to do a series on essay writing with posts on topics like “Planning your essay”, “The first line of your essay”, and so on. But I don’t want to introduce a category just for a short series.\n\n\n\nSo I’m planning to categorize all those posts under “Academic”, which means readers browsing the academic section can find them easily.

Apple today announced that they will be lifting the NDA on the iPhone SDK. This is incredibly good news, as it means that, once lifted, developers will be able to talk with each other about the iPhone. And, among those developers are those that have created iPhone content for our Core Animation and iPhone SDK Development Books, a screencast series on iPhone development, and a brand new Pragmatic Studio on iPhone Development. All of these have been sitting here, waiting to get released.\n\n\nSo, all day I've been getting calls and e-mails saying “The NDA is lifted. Where are the books?” The answer is simple: right now the NDA hasn't been lifted. Apple have announced that they will be dropping it, and that a new developer agreement will be sent out within \"a week or so.\" Our developers are still apparently bound by the existing NDA.\n\n\nSo, I spoke with someone senior at Apple this morning, and I'm waiting to hear back. In effect, the NDA is dead. But I need to protect our authors, so we can't release any iPhone content until we hear back that they're out of danger.\n\n\nI'll blog here when I know more. We'll also send out an e-mail to our announcement mailing list and RSS feed.\n\n\nInteresting times...\n","saved":"2008-10-01T17:28:58Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e70443e12cd10d219ce39bb828873aeb","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/fbb0275b7d4f/","kind":"page"},

Finance, MSN MoneyCentral). In the blog, we hypothesized that the increase in online interest for financial research and information is contributing to increased interest by people researching their personal finances online as people are taking a closer tab on their finances these days.\n\nThis interest caused me to take a closer look at how several personal finance sites are performing online.  Each site, which allows people to aggregate and track all their personal finances, has its own flavor. Three of the most popular sites are: \n\n\nWesabe.com provides a community-like atmosphere where people share tips about personal finance\nGeezeo.com is an ad-driven site with a heavy emphasis on selling credit cards\nMint.com uses the information you provide to serve up comparisons of your accounts with competing accounts that could save you money\n\nFrom personal experience tracking my finances is becoming an obsession (of course, never during business hours). Apparently, Im not the only one obsessing about my dwindling 401k. Mint.com was viewed by more than 480k visitors during August 2008. Since August of 2007, Mint.com has grown in traffic by more than 965%. As the chart below demonstrates, none of Mint.coms competitors has come close to that kind of traffic or growth. \n\n\nSo why are people visiting Mint.com more than Wesabe.com or Geezeo.com? The reasons are both experiential and strategic:\n\n\nMint.com does not serve up one ad on its website. Got that? Not one ad. Now, you might get a money-saving offer like the one in yellow shown below, but those offers are on a separate tab and you can choose to ignore them completely.\n&gt;\nThere is a limited population of consumers who want to do their personal finances as a group activity. I think Im pretty loose-lipped when talking about money, but Im not going to open my kimono on a website.\n\n\n\n\nMint.com has a smart marketing strategy. Mint.com is prominently placed in search listings for keywords like Quicken and personal finance software. As a result, there is less likelihood that consumers are going to find Geezeo.com or Wesabe.com.\n\nMint.com recently announced the capability to add your mortgage, student, and auto loans to your portfolio to give users a broader picture of their finances.  In this economic climate, this seems to be what people need right now, and it should be interesting to see how Mint.com will continue to expand its capabilities and grow its customer base.","saved":"2008-09-30T17:47:57Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"bb234d44c9985828e2d560de315fb9d3","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3dd17da3478b/","kind":"page"},

It’s great that this book not only starts from the very beginning, but is available as an easy electronic download, for instant gratification.\nIf you’re convinced you’re in for the long haul, but prefer to learn at your own pace and in your spare time, pick up Aaron Hillegass’s Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X.\nIf it’s time to put the pedal to the metal, and you want to minimize the chances of failing as you learn the basics of this art, drop everything and enroll in the Objective-C and Cocoa Bootcamp class at Big Nerd Ranch.\n\n\nBig Nerd Ranch is run by the very Aaron Hillegass who authored the book you picked up in step 2, and he teaches the Cocoa bootcamp class himself. The class is not cheap, but neither is it exploitatively expensive. You will learn to program for the Macintosh with a group of classmates, living and programming on a bucolic country retreat, where your meals and lodging are taken care of.\n\n\n\nThe Big Nerd Ranch concept is exciting, and I have often fantasized about attending a class there myself. I’m probably overqualified for the boot camp, though as with most life experiences, you learn something when you review the basics. The ranch offers a variety of classes in addition to the boot camp, including courses on more advanced Cocoa programming, iPhone development, and even on Django and Ruby on Rails web programming.\n\n\n\nRight now, Aaron is busy building a bigger, better, greener, serener (funner? funnest?) Big Nerd Ranch. He’s actually bought a large plot of land and is drafting plans for several new buildings. He’s treating all of us to many glorious details on his personal blog: possible/probable. The blog frames itself as the chronicle of a man in his mid-youth, aiming to improve an already successful life by taking chances and aiming for the stars. It so happens that his stars form a constellation that idealizes and glorifies learning to program on the Mac.\n\n\n\nWhen you check out the blog, be sure to read through the archives. You’ll be riveted by his stories of searching for suitable property, securing bank loans, winning and losing architects, and grappling with the underlying question of just how crazy pursing this dream might be.\n\n\n\nFortunately for us, Aaron seems to be guiding his own life with the words of his blog title, “possible” and “probable.” I interpret these slash/stroke separated terms optimistically, as I expect he does. If you can imagine something, if it seems vaguely possible, then with a little work it is made probable.\n\n\n\nI find Aaron’s optimism inspiring, and his stories remind me of my own possible/probable dreams still waiting to be fulfilled. His zeal for the pursuit of happiness rests safely between recklessness and painful deliberation. He recognizes that while frightening risks need to be taken, putting in hours of hard and tedious work will greatly improve the odds of success.\n\n\n\nWe should all get to work turning our own possibilities into probabilities, because nobody else is going to do it for us. With the help of Aaron’s blog, we might find ourselves inching just a little bit closer.\n","saved":"2008-09-26T04:52:31Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"508671fe1904faf76332d50b32f13907","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/00192c47ae40/","kind":"page"},

Google News saw the story on the page, and picked the date up from the top of the page, since there was no date on the article. This date was the current date, not the six years ago date of the original story. An analyst saw the story on Google News, and a billion $ later, the rest was history.\n\nAs a recommender researcher, the scariest part of the story is the inference drawn from that single view of the article, which looked at the time -- in the wee hours -- like a statistically significant indicator that the article was becoming interesting.

Heck, I've been fiddling around with Xcode and Interface Builder for years, and I must admit that I still don't fully \"get it\".  What would really seal the deal is to spend a few days with a couple experts and have them show me how they build Mac applications.  And that kind of interaction is exactly what a Studio is all about!\n\n\n\n\nSo I'm excited to announce our new Cocoa Studio in Denver, CO on October 28-30.  I believe this three-day course is the best way to get a jump start on building GUI applications on the Mac (or the iPhone).  You better believe I'll be a student in this one.  Check out the outline and sweet venue for more details.\n\n\n\n\nWho's teaching it? I couldn't be happier with the instructors we landed.  You'll learn directly from two seasoned Cocoa developers and authors.  Daniel Steinberg and Bill Dudney really know their stuff, and they're excited to help you become a Mac OS X developer.  They both have programming backgrounds in Objective-C and Cocoa, a few books and screencasts underway, and even a couple commercial applications.  Equally important, they're experienced teachers and trainers with great personalities.  I'm really looking forward to seeing them in action as co-teachers.\n\n\n\n\nSo if you're planning to build GUI applications on the Mac (or the iPhone), this Studio is for you.  Register by September 28th to reserve your seat and save $300.  And if you've attended any of our other courses, you'll save another $300 on top of that.  Either way, it's gonna be a lot of fun.\n\n\n\n\nI hope to see you there!","saved":"2008-09-04T17:46:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"20f975eb297380447fddc14e8249e773","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9885bbd92628/","kind":"page"},

As was expected, due to my unprecedented dominance in the game, no one had.  What was not expected, however, was an inconspicuous link at the top of the page telling me to try the New Facebook. So, I decided to check it out.\n\nThis New Facebook had an entirely different layout, putting many elements of friends Profiles on various tabs and allowing for greater control of what your friends see on your profile.  In my opinion, the change was an upgrade.  Gone were the days of needing to scroll past super pokes, ninja and pirate fights, graffiti, aquariums, and the latest roshombo matches  to write on the walls of friends who dont seem to know how to click no to application invites.  In general, things felt cleaner and easier to use.  Not everybody sees it the way I do though.  When I showed it to my boyfriend, he was appalled at the changes. He had gotten used to Facebooks layout and did not want to go through the hassle of learning a new layout and figuring out how to do what he wants to do on Facebook.  Luckily for him, Facebook was kind enough to put a link at the top of the New Facebook allowing you to go back to the old Facebook experience.  He eagerly went back to the familiar styles he has come to love.  Facebook is clearly being cautious with this release, providing links to allow users to give feedback and input prior to the full release.  A friend who signed up for Facebook last week was even introduced to the old Facebook, rather than pushed to the new, indicating Facebook is not ready to make the new site the standard. The beta testing style of this release made me curious as to how many Facebook users have decided to check out the New Facebook since its rollout. \n\n\nSince its rollout, the New Facebook has progressively attracted more visitors as the weeks of summer roll by. As of the week of August 10th, more than half of all Facebook users have at least checked out the new site.  By the week of August 17th, that visitor count had topped 60% of all Facebook users. Because Facebook has slowly rolled out this new site, inviting more and more people to check out the New Facebook each week, this chart only tells us half the story.  It is also important to look at how many users checked out the New facebook and then decided to go back to the old style in the same session.\n\n\nFacebook users using the New Facebook are slowly trending towards only using it, rather than clicking to go back to the old.  This has leveled off in the last couple of weeks, holding steady at about 40% of Facebook users checking out the new site deciding to click back to the old. Having 60% of users continue on to use the new site is good news for Facebook, as it indicates users are beginning to come around to the new style.  It is clear that Facebook has learned and grown from its last major new release.  For those of you that dont recall,  in Sept. 2006 Facebook suddenly unveiled its mini feedwhich shocked and scared off many of its users with its openess and seemingly invasion of privacy.  This time around, Facebook is letting its users get accostomed to the new style at their own pace, as well as allowing them to provide feedback regarding the new design.  Hopefully for Facebook, this will result in more satisfied users, while in my opinionproviding users with a cleaner, more streamlined Facebook experience.","saved":"2008-09-03T17:24:53Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"517bd47342254f18673f062c0069de1d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/94d75556557d/","kind":"page"},

The video demo was such a huge hit, Earthscape - the company who made it - quickly made it into a product you can now buy at the Apple store (available for $10).    I purchased the app a couple of days ago and have just now had time to make a new video demo:\n\n\n    \n\nA couple of things to note:  Earthscape has a 3D terrain model for the Earth, and they have high resolution satellite or aerial photos for some areas - especially in the US.  But, you won't find as much high res data as Google Earth.   They have included a \"Wikipedia\" layer which includes placemarks to places from Wikipedia which when clicked on provide a summary of the related site.  In the earlier demo I saw last May, they had the ability to use the iPhone accelerometer to tilt and rotate.  But, the released app doesn't include that feature.  Tom Churchill, CEO of Earthscape, told me they found the UI was confusing to some people.  But, they hope to put the feature in an update to the app in the future.   Given the limited utility at this time (no KML support yet, no search capability, and no accelerometer support), I'm not sure how many people will buy it for $10.  But, it is a cool app to see on the iPhone.  I hope it inspires Google to port a version of Google Earth to the iPhone (if they haven't already been working on it for months).  \n\n\nHere is Earthscape's video demo of the new application.","saved":"2008-08-22T16:15:16Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"19b3618e85cf54dead9d976da2bf11ae","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0377aed34d20/","kind":"page"},

The figures were interesting (and impressive), but at the time, only seven days of data was available. As Steve Jobs told the Wall Street Journal on Monday, the App Store's first month generated about $30 million US in sales, and I was interested in how that would translate on a micro level. Yesterday, tap tap tap's John Casasanta posted its full July sales totals (save a few territories, which will likely have little effect on the final tally), allowing us to do just that.As with the data released last week, the numbers are extremely impressive. Apple's reporting process calculated sales from June 29, 2008 through August 2, 2008. However, as John notes, because the App Store didn't launch until July 10, 2008, the sales data is actually for 24 days.For tap tap tap's two applications, this is the breakdown:Where to Go (App Store link) sold 24,094 copies at $2.99 a copy in 24 days.Tipulator (App Store link) sold 3,168 copies at $.99 a copy in 24 days.After Apple's 30% cut, tap tap tap's net revenue was $52,815 US for 24 days.

Now a road trip means streaming video, GPS, email, and Hotels.com.\n\nEven if you’re not rocking an iPhone or BlackBerry, I know from personal experience (like last month, before I had an iPhone) that you can still have a digital adventure with something as simple as the Sony Ericsson w580i. In fact, if I’d had an iPhone then, I wouldn’t have been able to take all of the embarrassing footage I ended up with after 62 hours in the car.\n\nPlan your trip with TripIt.\n\nWhat makes TripIt a good planning tool for a roadtrip is that it has a mobile counterpart. So whether you start at home or start on the road, you’ll have access to your itinerary from anywhere. Book your hotels on Hotels.com and you have yourself a digital agenda.\n\nBlog your whole story with Utterz.\n\nThere are, again, dozens of blogging apps for the iPhone. But not everybody has, or wants, an iPhone (keep stickin’ it to the man guys!) and there have been blogging apps for the mobile phone since the dawn of social media. An especially great mobile blogging platform is Utterz. Utterz is fantastic because it works with all of the popular blogging platforms including Blogger, Wordpress, Flickr, Typepad, Drupal, and others. You could also use MoBlog to start a whole new mobile blog, but I’m not sure what the value is in creating yet another blog unless it’s your primary site.\n\n\nTrack your progress with Brightkite.\n\nThe benefit to Brightkite is that it has a more tightly knit social network than other mobile posting sites. Besides that, it will cross-post your check-ins and pictures to Twitter. Brightkite is simple in that you can just text or email them your location, and voila, you’ve checked in. \n\nYou can also post pictures and notes from anywhere you’re checked in and send a “hello” to anyone in the vicinity. This was pretty hip and original before the iPhone 3G came out and released a lifetime supply of GPS-enabled social networks like Loopt, and Whrrl. Dodgeball is a more bare-bones version of Brightkite but if you don’t want or need to post photos, it could work\n\nUpload your cellphone pictures with Shozu.\n\nShozu is a great picture service because it connects with popular photo-sharing sites like Flickr, Picasa, Blogger, Facebook and others. It’s also a great service because it lets you post videos as well, thus eliminating the need for a separate service. Brightkite is again popular for this purpose, as is the comparable Twitxr service since they both cross-post to Twitter. All you need is to attach a picture to a text message and hit send.\n\nStream video from the road with Qik.\n\nQik is arguably the best mobile streaming service, the only problem is that it’s limited. In other words, if you don’t own one of the 40 phones they offer the service with, you’re out of luck. If you are lucky enough to use Qik, you’ll find it’s easy to stream live and chat with your viewers at the same time. People watching your stream might get some buffering, but unlike some sites, will be able to pick up where it left off instead of skipping a chunk of your video.\n\nA more primal service like UPhoneBlog makes mobile video blogging easy for regular phones. It’s also possibly the most obnoxious site on this side of Google, with its iPhone and Wii talking ads. However, they do give you a video player that you can place on your blog. Every time you email a video from your phone, it gets put as the first video in that player, so anyone who’s watching can follow all of your new videos. \n\nServices like JuiceCaster, Treemo, and Shozu are also popular vlogging portals.\n\nFind your way with TomTom.\n\nI like TomTom because it’s easy to hack and create your own voices for, plus they offer MapShare and TomTom buddies which was social media before social media was GPS enabled. Equip your car with a TomTom, Garmin, Navigon, or even the Internet-connected Dash (if you’re feeling extra-geeky). As a personal note, I wouldn’t trust Google Maps on any phone to get me to my next-door neighbors house, so be smart about it. \n\nTrack your MPGs with MileMarker.\n\nAvailable on any mobile phone, MileMarker is better than any of the iPhone or other mobile apps I’ve seen and it can be accessed via your Web browser. You put in the amount of miles you’ve driven, how much you paid for gas, and it will tell you how much you’re spending, how many MPGs your getting, and what your gas spending future looks like. With gas in mind, you should also check out the Cheap Gas mobile app by Mobio, which tells you where the cheapest gas stations are in your vicinity. If you have an iPhone, you probably already know the many gas applications available, so I won’t waste the space here.\n\nConnect with friends via Twinkle.\n\n\nIf you have the time, make sure to stop and smell the social media. While you’re out traveling the countryside, don’t forget that your Twitter, Plurk, and Pownce friends are probably somewhere along the route. Suggest a Tweetup via Twinkle or one of the many Twitter apps available if that doesn’t sound too dirty to you.\n\nFind places to eat with Yelp.\n\nPoint your cell phone browser to mobile.yelp.com for quick access to great eats nearby. Urban Spoon has an amusing iPhone app that you have to shake in order to find dinner. It works like a slot machine and it’s fun to watch, but it only gives you relevant results in certain metro areas.  \n\nOther things to consider: \n\nWireless card: If you want to be connected 24-7, you might want to buy a wireless card for your laptop through your mobile provider. These cards are usually around $100.00 and have a subscription fee of around $60 a month with a 2-year contract. With that said, unless you plan on using that baby all year round, it might not be all that important.\n\nA/C adapter for your laptop: If you plan on watching movies, editing pictures, or playing solitaire on this trip, you’ll need a backup battery or an adapter for your car. You can find them for around $30 and they’re worth the investment.\n\nMp3 player: Stock your Mp3 player as full as you can.  Don’t only load it with music; make sure to add podcasts, audiobooks and comedy tracks to the playlist. Trust me, music will get old after 12 hours and you’re going to need some dialog to ease your brain.\n\nSure, you could take a road trip to rid yourself of technology for a few days or weeks, but what is good is doing something if you don’t have anything to remember it by? So remember, take lots of pictures and videos, and don’t forget to review everything on Yelp.\n\n---Related Articles at Mashable! - The Social Networking Blog:\nWindows Live Spaces Plans a Road Trip.

For some of us, a personal blog might be a place to express ourselves in our free time, but for others, it is an excellent opportunity to create quite a following. However, many of us have neglected our personal blogs, some of us dont update our personal blogs, and a few of us dont even have personal blogs! Regardless, there are a few great reasons as to why you should have one and keep it updated.\n\nIts All About You!\nIf your personal blog is popular, that means people are interested in you, and that should be quite the confidence booster. Some people use their blog as a way to share things that happen in their life. Others use personal blogs as a place of useful information and ideas (like me at OnlyJames), and, further more, others use their personal blog as a life aggregator that contains all your activity from around the web.\n\nPersonal Experience\nOne of the greatest benefits of a personal blog is that it allows your followers to connect with you on a fairly personal level. Your blog is like your home. You welcome them into your home, you share information about yourself, and you generate relationships with bloggers. When these people leave your blog, perhaps they will mention you around the blogosphere, and that is obviously a good thinga very good thing.\n\nCredibility and Understanding\nA personal blog serves yet another purpose: it provides you with a level of credibility. You put your name out there, you let people get involved with you on a personal level, and you generate a community around yourself. There is much power and respect held when thousands of people are subscribed to your personal blog. It has all the makings of success written all over it if you can optimize this traffic.\n\nMaintaining Attention\nA personal blog can also act as a hub for all of a persons projects and works. It might serve as a place for a blogger to raise awareness for a special project that only a few people know about. Think of this as a jump-start for future projects. Combine all this with a strong presence on Twitter, and there is some amazing potential ready to explode.\n\nYou, On The Internet\nEntertain this idea for a few moments: put yourself in the shoes of a professional race car driver. Lets say you represent team ABC and drive car #01. Fans always purchase team ABCs merchandise and are glad to buy your lunch-boxes. But lets assume that next season you are moving over to team XYZ. Wouldnt you feel better knowing that all those people were really fans of you instead of the car you drive and team you race for? Apply this very same concept to you and a blog you write for, and you now understand why marketing yourself is just as important.\n\nEssentially, your personal blog is your own little chunk of the web that should be all about you. This is a place that you will, hopefully, keep for a long time, never sell, and show interest and appreciation to your followers. After all, every time a blogger writes an article, that blogger is, essentially, marketing himself or herself to the world.\n\nIf you have a personal blog, why not let us know where we can find out more about you?","saved":"2008-08-02T02:37:49Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b2772e4b5c16a1120c2ac573dfbb78f5","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/abd3c2be978a/","kind":"page"},

If youre not an Adobe Lightroom fan like I am then this is of little interest to you, but there are a couple of things of note:\n\n1) Adobe Lightroom is developed right here in Minnesota at the Adobe engineering office in Arden Hills\n\n2) Jamie is using the WordPress bbpress forum software  one Im interested in but find far too limiting currently  but he was able to get this forum up-n-running quickly for a narrow audience of Minnesota Lightroom fans.

Mr. Jobs, TEAR DOWN THIS NDA.\n\nIf the new iPhone 2.1 beta firmware is anything, it's a perfect excuse to say: \"I told you so.\" It explains why the NDA failed to disappear on schedule. Apple kept its promise -- \"Ve shall delivah the 2.0 iPhone und SDK on Yuly 11th\" -- while working around the fact that that SDK was half baked at best. It was certainly not ready for prime time. The NDA simply expands the beta period. It offers cover to Apple, as they scramble to finish developing ready-to-ship software.\n\nIn retrospect, there really was no need for the NDA in the first place, nor this second new 2.1 NDA that just debuted. Anyone, including Apple's competitors -- even the really evil \"big brother\" ones -- can sign up and download the SDK for free. Apple isn't exactly keeping things hush hush on the down low.\n\nAll the NDA does right now is keep developers from talking to each other and blogs, magazines and book authors from publishing how-to articles. Said articles, etc., could actually help Apple reduce its tech support overhead. It would certainly help solidify the brand and allow third parties to make better, stronger App Store entries.\n\nIt made no sense then. It makes no sense now. But that's not where the grumbling ends. Our TUAW tipsters have been busy. They tell us that Apple is busy rejecting Applications from the App Store for grammar mistakes in onboard help files (not a joke) and for not presenting the user with the best playability options (also not a joke). Many of these frustrated developers tell us that some of their products have been waiting for review for four weeks and up and that their updates are getting caught in the gears. One wrote that his apps are getting poor reviews while fixes can't see the light of day.\n\nAnd if the TUAW tipsters' tips are true (thanks TUAW tipsters), the new SDK throws a further wrench into the gears. 2.0 SDK Applications will not be immediately compatible with version 2.1 (although that could change between beta and release).\n\nOther tremendously terrific tipsters tell us that the newest beta program isn't fully open. Apparently only a subset of iPhone SDK development members have been granted access. That once again puts some developers at a tremendous financial disadvantage.\n\nAll in all, the buzz in developer circles is not happy. While some look forward to their first August paychecks from App Store, others remain waiting and frustrated in the wings.\n\nAs always, please continue to use our tip line if you have anything you want to add anonymously to the discussion. Otherwise, feel free to opine in our comments.\nRead","saved":"2008-07-25T23:00:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"15ce7a62246ca2bf6a6ffe646e5f2fe6","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b6136d9fb5b1/","kind":"page"},

We met with another startup, had lunch at the famous Shake Shack, and spent some quality time together in Union Square. The meeting with this other startup was largely a formality—we had already fallen in love with both the technology and the team.Keeping up with interesting news and people you care about is one dimension of Twitter, but what if you need to find out what’s happening in the world beyond your personal timeline? How do you find out about updates from Mars? What do people think of the new Will Smith movie? Providing tools for filtering all the real-time information coursing through Twitter has long been part of our vision.We introduced a feature called Track close to a year ago because we recognized filtering as a key component of the Twitter experience. The folks over at Summize discovered Twitter and significantly improved on this idea of filtering and search. Twitter and Summize met last month to discuss a more formal relationship.CEO Jack Dorsey makes it officialWe’re excited to announce that Twitter has acquired Summize—an extraordinary search tool and an amazing group of engineers. All five Summize engineers will move to San Francisco, CA and take jobs at Twitter, Inc. This is an important step forward in the evolution of Twitter as a service and as a company.Better TogetherSummize is a popular service for searching Twitter and keeping up with emerging trends in real-time. Like Twitter, Summize offers an API so other products and services can filter the constant queue of updates in a variety of ways. The Summize service and API will be merged with our own and integrated under the Twitter brand.A sketch of search inside Twitter There is an undeniable need to search, filter, and otherwise interact with the volumes of news and information being transmitted to Twitter every second. We will be adding search and its related features to the core offering of Twitter in the very near future. In the meantime, everyone is welcome to access search.twitter.com—there’s no need for a Twitter account.Our CommitmentOverall service performance remains our first and foremost priority. Adding five extremely talented engineers to our team serves to further this goal. The addition of search to our existing API creates an opportunity for more diversity within projects developed on the Twitter platform. We will continue to support existing applications built on the Twitter API and look forward to innovative new approaches.","saved":"2008-07-15T03:07:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"fa523603a66f521e5a607486ac4de168","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5e7311e9c6d8/","kind":"page"},

The band was making a new video, but they weren't using any cameras, just lasers and data. As you might imagine, we were intrigued.The song is called House of Cards, from Radioheads recent In Rainbows album.  In this new video, there were no cameras on set.

Geometric Informatics scanning systems produced structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne LIDAR system that uses multiple lasers was used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In the video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes.Whether you're a music fan or a developer (or both), we agreed with the band that it would be great to give you a deeper look into how all of this was done, and even a chance to play with the data yourself, under a license that allows remixing.You can view the video, watch a short documentary about how it was made, interact with the video in 3D, download some of the data, and download an iGoogle theme and gadget - all at http://code.google.com/radiohead.","saved":"2008-07-14T15:47:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"40cf7de85d6a4a7b3c6c4273d2ccc53d","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/69e41827c597/","kind":"page"},

Chief salesman Tim Armstrong is trying to overhaul YouTube's overly complicated (and expensive) sales process, but the company is now considering much more drastic measures. WSJ:\n\nGoogle plans to begin accepting \"preroll\" and \"postroll\" ads, which will run before and after some YouTube video clips, according to one person familiar with the matter. The plan under consideration, this person says, would give companies that post video clips the option to sell such ads, and share the revenue with Google. YouTube has long forsworn such ads because consumers don't like them. But advertisers consider them highly effective.\n\nThis is a big deal: Google's intense dislike of preroll is both aesthetic (they're a clumsy \"old media\" ad strategy, and Google doesn't like to think of itself that way) and practical (we're told that Google has found that 80% to 90% of video-watchers flee the instant they see one of the ads). So resorting to pre-rolls -- after Eric Schmidt had promised that YouTube had awesome new ad schemes in the works -- is an admission that the Mountain View brain trust is stumped.\n\nOf course, one other obvious solution to YouTube's sales woes would be to simply start advertising on YouTube pages, period. Nearly any page you see on the site today is ad-free. But Google is showing a billion clips a day. Why not simply start loading some of those pages with AdSense units?\n\nBecause of the other big admission in the WSJ story -- Google is afraid to sell ads on 96% of its inventory:\n\nFearful of fueling allegations that it is profiting from copyright infringement, Google will only sell ads against YouTube clips that have been posted or approved by media companies and other partners -- roughly 4% of the total, says one person familiar with the matter.\n\nThe story ascribes Google's fears to the billion-dollar Viacom suit, but we think that's not fair: Even if Philippe Dauman ends up settling with Google, it's not going to resolve the copyright cloud hovering over YouTube. So either Google's going to need a legal ruling that gives it the go-ahead to make money on its copyright-violating inventory -- or it's going to have live with diminished expectations for its $1.65 billion business.\n\n* Congrats to Forbes for pegging the $200 million number earlier this year.\n\nSee Also: Eric Schmidt: Google Has Secret Plan To Mint Money With YouTube","saved":"2008-07-09T06:10:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3eac627c005cdeea782a14c3c91d51ad","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/34b725fb68c1/","kind":"page"},

Most web workers tend to hop between multiple devices to access our web applications; Gmail is a great case in point with multiple interfaces mechanisms spread across web, mobile, IMAP and POP3 formats, however its easy to lose track of where youre signed in and compromise a little of your privacy and security if youre not careful.  Remote Signout enables Gmail users to keep track of recent sessions by IP address and remotely logoff from any of those sessions if the time or location seems suspect.    Gmail inboxes, where the feature is being rolled out progressively, will include a new item in the footer labeled This account is open in x other locations with a link to a more detailed view, as illustrated here to the left. Of course, youll need to know your own IP addresses to understand if any unauthorized usage is taking place, so its not the best user experience, though it works and is a welcome feature.  More significantly Remote Signout sets an important precedent for all web applications - namely that such a feature should be a design pattern employed in all web applications.  Oftentimes the only indication a user has of malicious use is when unusual things begin to happen within their services, in real life, or the arrival of unsolicited password reminder email in their inboxes! By wiring in the means to audit access usage of an application, one of the barriers to policing your personal security and privacy is lowered, enabling us all to be just a little more preemptively vigilant.

Featuring FireWire 800 alongside improved USB 2.0 performance and an upgraded core processor, the new Drobo is the fastest product in its class for managing and storing digital information.\n\nThe increased read and write performance now makes the product ideal for use as primary storage for media applications such as photography and video editing, as well as secondary storage.\n\n“Years ago Data Robotics set out on a mission: To create a set of technologies that allows storage to be safe, expandable and incredibly simple. Our customers have been asking for a high-performance FireWire connection since we launched Drobo last year, and this new release is the next logical step in providing users with what they need ˆ and have come to expect ˆ in the Drobo product,” said Geoff Barrall, CEO and founder of Data Robotics. \n\nThe second generation Drobo incorporates all of the features and functionality that consumers have grown to know and love in its predecessor: Unparalleled ease of use, redundant data protection, and instant expandability that allows storage capacity to grow with users over time. New enhancements include an upgraded core processor, two FireWire 800 ports, dramatically increased USB 2.0 performance, and newly optimized firmware. This release addresses the needs of any user seeking a reliable method of managing vast amounts of data without sacrificing performance; from video editors, to heavy down-loaders, to photographers who shoot raw images.\n\n“Our ability to deliver FireWire 800 in the newest version of Drobo gives us even more of an edge with two particular groups: Creative professionals who rely on the speed and performance of their equipment in their day to day work, and the Apple community which has a strong affinity for FireWire products,” adds Barrall.\n\n“When it comes to video editing, the faster the storage, the better, and this is where the new Drobo with FireWire 800 really shines,” said Andy Hirsch of Blue Moon Productions. “I had previously used Drobo as a backup solution for Final Cut Pro, but the enhanced performance of the second generation Drobo has allowed me to use it as my primary storage drive for video editing.”\n\nFeatures include:\n\n \n\n\nBest in class performance\nRedundant data protection\nHot expansion up to 16TB\nAbility to take advantage of mix and match drive capacities\nTwo FireWire 800 ports (FireWire 400 compatible)\nOne USB 2.0 port\n\n \n\nPricing and Availability \n\nThe second generation Drobo is priced at $499 MSRP and also comes in a 2TB version for $899, and a 4TB version for $1,299.  All are available for immediate purchase from www.drobostore.com and B&H Photo (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/) as well as 750 authorized partners worldwide.  For a list of those partners or to learn more about how Drobo is changing the way the world stores and protect its data, please visit www.drobo.com\n\nAbout Data Robotics\n\nData Robotics ˆ the makers of Drobo ˆ develops automated data storage products designed to ensure data is always protected and easy-to-manage. Unlike other storage arrays, however, Drobo uses patented software that is designed for non-technical users who demand reliability without the complexity of RAID. Key features of Drobo include some of the most advanced automated features available ˆ including self-monitoring, self-healing and an easy-to-understand visual status and alert panel.

That looks like a good call: WSJ.com has been posting huge growth this year, even as it has kept its pay wall up.  But as we noted earlier this spring, that growth might be a mixed blessing: Because the WSJ is getting many of its new readers \"through the side door\" -- referred by other sites -- they are less likely than the Journal's core audience to stick around and read more stories.  That would explain today's news, which is that while unique visitors have continued to increase for the Journal this spring, those visitors are reading fewer stories than they have in the past.  The WSJ told Mediaweek WSJ.com reached 16.2 million unique visitors in June, a 94% increase from last year. Page views were up 45% to 150 million.  Impressive, but not quite as impressive as earlier this year, when the Journal trotted out March numbers for Portfolio. In March, WSJ.com saw 15 million unique visitors, a 175% y/y increase, and page views were 165 million, a 75% increase from 2007.  That means not only is growth slowing, but monthly page views took a 9% drop from March. We sort of saw this coming:  Much more likely is that WSJ.com is getting its links in front of lots of new readers, something that Murray alludes to here: \"We've gotten much smarter about search engine optimization, and much smarter about working with portals and aggregators.\" That also explains why uniques are growing much faster than page views -- if someone gets guided to WSJ.com by, say, Digg or Google News (GOOG), they're much less likely to read additional stories than a WSJ subscriber would.  The skeptical way to look at the growth, then, is to point out that WSJ.com's select, high value audience is getting diluted as it grows, which will eventually bring down CPMs for the site.  Again, this isn't a terrible thing: Most publishers, online or off, would be happy to post triple-digit year-over-year increases in their readership. And even if that shaves the Journals' ad rates down a bit, Rupe should still come out ahead in the end. But do keep an eye on that Digg-bait.

Enter Swurl, a visually stunning system for displaying a timeline of your activities on various sites around the web.\n\n\nDeveloper Ryan Sit specializes in leveraging the visual to create new interfaces for data, his ListPic application lets users browse Craigslist by images.   Just like Listpic creates a whole new experience for Craigslist, Sit hopes that Swurl will make interacting with lifestream data a much more visually enjoyable experience.\n\n\nHow it Works\n\nThe most important part of Swurl is the timeline view, where all the messages, bookmarks, album covers and photos you've saved in various services are organized in a calendar view.  It's a great way to look back at days gone by - we've found already that it can't help but put your experiences into a different perspective.\n\n\nIn addition to the timeline view, Swurl also publishes your activities in a blog-type format.  Each person's blog is highly customizable.  If you've hesitated to send the URL to your crazy-chaotic FriendFeed page to your grandma, maybe you should send her to a Swurl page instead.\n\n\nInside of each item you'll find all kinds of visual treats, like a nice slideshow viewer, song lyrics displayed below the Flash audio player for each song in your time line and elegant captions on your photos.   There are lots of nice little touches here and we hope it will only continue to improve.\n\n\nOne of the areas the app could really use improvement is in viewing your friends' activities.  You probably don't want to use it for that, unless it's very casual.  Swurl discovers your friends on various services but displays their activities in a boring list that's spotty and hours behind.\n\n\nThe big picture here for us is that RSS feeds and lifestream data in particular can really look great when displayed nicely and mashedup with various sources of data.  By grouping your activities into a calendar view, Swurl really facilitates a change in perspective.  We think you'll enjoy this app and we are excited to see where it goes in the future.","saved":"2008-07-03T23:23:38Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"0ec2bcccd348a7d85144d113374248f5","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/bdbee51847f3/","kind":"page"},

In order to continue using the products without any hiccups, Internet Explorer 6 users should upgrade to a newer browser:\n\n\nDownload Internet Explorer 7\nDownload Firefox\nDownload Safari\n\n\nThe Internet Explorer 6 browser was released back in 2001, and Internet Explorer 7, the replacement, was released nearly two years ago in 2006. Modern web browsers such as IE 7, Firefox, and Safari provide significantly better online experiences. Since IE 6 usage has finally dipped below a small minority threshold of our customers, it's time to finally move beyond IE 6.\n\n\nWhat are the implications of this transition?\n\nAs of August 15th, 2008, future features and any improvements made to existing features may not work with IE 6. If you are using IE 7, Firefox 2 or 3, or Safari, you don't have to do anything  everything will continue as is for you. However, if you are using IE 6, and you want to make sure everything works, you will need to upgrade your browser to either IE 7, Firefox, or Safari. All of these browsers are free and all of them will deliver a much better overall experience. The web will be a lot better for you.\n\n\nSpecial note for people using Basecamp with clients: If your clients are using IE 6 (you'll want to ask them) you may want to provide them some assistance in upgrading their browser.\n\n\nWhy are we making this change?\n\nIE 6 is a last-generation browser. This means that IE 6 can't provide the same web experience that modern browsers can. Continued support of IE 6 means that we can't optimize our interfaces or provide an enhanced customer experience in our apps. Supporting IE 6 means slower progress, less progress, and, in some places, no progress. We want to make sure the experience is the best it can be for the vast majority of our customers, and continuing to support IE 6 holds us back.\n\n\nThanks again\n\nThanks again for your continued support. We look forward to dropping the rusty weight of IE 6 and improving the overall customer experience moving forward.","saved":"2008-07-03T16:11:43Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"93e008b1d7bf46b48015cbc5ba1c520f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/2e4b3445b2d5/","kind":"page"},

GreenDimes walks you through some easy steps that will reduce unsolicited mail, and also lets you decline catalogs. Each time you receive an unwanted catalog, you go to GreenDimes and type the name of the catalog in. GreenDimes takes care of removing you from that catalogs mailing list. Ive been quite happy with this service, especially since its a one-time fee.\n\n- ProQuo is a free junk-mail reduction service. In the future, they intend to make money when consumers opt-in to request offers; ProQuo will make money from those advertisers. I tried this service today. It lets you stop many services with just a couple mouse clicks per service, but for about 50% of the marketers (maybe 10-15 of them) you have to print and send a letter or leave to an external website to complete a form. Its still better than nothing though, because even if youre lazy you can opt out of a lot of junk mail with just your mouse for free. Overall, the service is free, easy, and helps you opt out of a wide variety of lists.\n\n- Catalog Choice is a site solely for opting out of catalogs. It doesnt tackle things like credit card offers, PennySaver, or list brokers, but the site is clean with a really nice user interface. One of the founders, Daniel Katz, has been interviewed by Bill Moyers, so I trust that theyre a legit organization, even though their WHOIS information is private and theres very little information about the group on their site. It sounds like three different environmental groups formed Catalog Choice as a non-profit. One piece of advice for Catalog Choice: please give a little more information about yourselves (e.g. history, founders, press) so that people can easily see that youre legitimate.\n\n- 41pounds.org charges $41 for five years of service. The name comes from the fact that they claim to block 41 pounds of junk mail per year for you. I havent tried this service.\n\nContacting services directly\n\n- You can visit the webpage of the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) to opt-out online so that you dont receive mail from companies that use DMA lists. The pretty url http://www.dmaconsumers.org/cgi/offmailinglist takes you to the url https://www.dmachoice.org/MPS/proto1.php where you want to select option #3 (Remove your name from DMA Member Prospect Lists). You will have to provide a valid credit card number, but your credit card will not be charged.\n\n- You can opt out of ADVO online.\n\nOther options\n\n- While youre at it, why not place yourself on the Do not call list at www.donotcall.gov to prevent most telemarketers from calling you? All you need to give is your phone number and an email address, and you will be permanently opted out. Read more about the do-not-call list if youre interested.\n\nAll these actions wont eliminate junk mail completely, but it will prevent a lot of the junk from showing up in your mailbox. These arent affiliate links, just stuff that I think people will find handy.

It will open a TCP connection to hostname:port, and will send the data Hello World. Any data the server sends back will be alerted with the onread handler.\n\nThe exact mechanism behind this innovation is pretty straightforward: Orbited is a router and firewall for incoming TCPSocket connections from the browser. It uses Comet techniques to establish bi-directional communication with the browser, then forwards all data over a raw TCP socket to the end point. Configuration allows access control enforcement so that the TCPSocket can only be connected to pre-approved end-points, so that the Orbited server isnt an open relay.\n\nWhile this presents a paradigm shift in the way developers are tackling real-time, web-based applications today, its actually a return to the original method of writing network applications. Instead of writing applications based on web frameworks and throwing a Comet server in the mix, you can simply use the client-server architecture where the browser is the client, and the server is an arbitrary TCP server.","saved":"2008-07-01T18:50:36Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"fcaf6be9a0aa572ab89c5912a6ec2c83","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4efbcabcc3ce/","kind":"page"},

The Internet authority that oversees domain names is about to let you get a little more top heavy with your vanity, if you have deep enough pockets.\n \n \nICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) has voted to move forward on allowing new top-level domains (TLDs), which form the right-most part of a domain name, like .com, .uk, or .aero. The original TLDs included .gov, .com, and .org, and expanded to include all two-letter country codes, such as .au for Australia and .nu for the island nation of Niue. (If you look at www.tidbits.com, .com is the TLD, tidbits is the domain name registered in the .com hierarchy, and www is the local host name that defines a real or virtual server.)\n \n \nFor $100,000 to $500,000, a company or an individual could apply for a TLD. Many years ago, when I worked at Amazon.com, I saw that TLD proposals were underway, and I suggested Amazon sponsor .book so that an ISBN number plus .book would result in a search result on the site. That wasn't possible then, it turned out, but would be possible under this new regime.\n \n \nNames could be turned down in a first-pass review if they were offensive, violated trademarks, or were too similar to an existing TLD. There's little information now about how two companies that want the same generic TLD, like .book, would work that out. Bidding? First-come, first-serve? Shared delegated authority? These details are expected to be worked out over between now and about April 2009, according to the Wall Street Journal. The ICANN page on the topic is pretty bureaucratic and technical in discussing this issue.\n \n \nIs this change necessary? Hard to say. It can be quite difficult to find the appropriate domain name for your business, non-profit organization, social site, or personal domain because of the exhaustion of generic words, and the vast growth in the use of sites to pull in advertising dollars through Google AdSense and affiliate program referrals. Opening up new TLDs could allow ISPs and other organizations to build a little more wiggle room.\n \n \nFor instance, a soccer organization could register .soccer, and then work with a registrar to allow both fans and teams to have domains underneath that. The related problem, though, is that companies controlling TLDs that have a relationship to their product might be more ready to yank domain names that have content or engage in behavior they disagree with. That might run counter to the rules that ICANN requires for domain name handling.\n \n \nI could also see some interesting cooperative work emerge. Say 5,000 Mac users wanted to register .fanboy - to take back the pejorative - and were willing to pony up $20 each, if the TLD cost were $100,000. That's certainly do-able. \n \n \nThe proposal will also allow the creation of TLDs that don't use English. Domain names and TLDs currently are limited to a through z, and 0 through 9; domain names can also include one or more hyphens. An obscure system currently allows a kind of mapping for non-English characters and letters, and ICANN has been working on a way to allow a more straightforward encoding methd. They started testing this in October 2007. (See \"ICANN Tests Non-Roman Characters in Domain Names,\" 2007-10-12.)\n \n \nPart of the new TLD proposal would allow countries to request their two-letter code in characters from their native language or languages. The final report on that proposal will be presented at an ICANN meeting today. A draft report on the non-Roman character test was released on 24-Jun-2008.\n \n \nThe real question, of course, is how long it takes our fearless leader here at TidBITS to put together enough pennies for .adamengst.\n \nCopyright © 2008 Glenn Fleishman.

The add-on is part of the beta phase: NYTimes.com promises that it will be \"baked into the site\" for the 1.0 launch. For now, it works like this: log in as a registered NYTimes.com user, pick a display name and location, add people to your network by searching the TimesPeople database or by letting TimesPeople load contacts from other networks (the only option right now is GMail), start recommending. It's not just about NYT articlesTimesPeople members can share ratings (hotels, movies, restaurants), reviews, and comments. The feed also can be sent to Facebook pages. The site's CTO Marc Frons describes it \"as an example of opening up our site as a place for\n\nour engaged community of readers to convene.\" \n\n\n\nIf NYTimes.com had added TimesPeople a couple of years ago, I might have been wowed. Instead, it's more like whelmed. Pages with TimesPeople enabled take longer to load and provide less real estate for actual news. (On the other hand, at least the toolbar is only visible when I'm on NYTimes.com.) The idea of claiming people as \"My People\" whether or not you even know them is a little off-putting. Still, it's another sign of the willingness to experiment. If it winds up only limited to people trying to follow what Times staffers are doingand those staffers actually keep updating, that's probably the lowest form of engagement. But if the service keeps evolving andbig \"if\" comingif even a small percentage of readers become users by creating NYTimes.com-based networks of their own, the potential is significant.

Good news: You'd have to look pretty hard to find similarities between it and Facebook or MySpace.\n\nIn its current, beta form, TimesPeople is mostly a few features tucked into a Firefox browser tool bar -- not the bloated set of  messaging features and status updates that you'd find on most social networks. Think of it as a personalized edition of the \"most e-mailed stories\" list, plus comments from people you know. You can also display stories you've shared on your Facebook profile; no word on Friendfeed or Delicious integration yet.\n\nFuture versions won't require Firefox; we take that to mean that the features will be built into the NYT Web site and won't require a separate plugin. Either way, we appreciate that it's not flashy or gimmicky; it fits well with the rest of the Times' image.\n\nWill TimesPeople bring in new readers? Probably not many. But it could get people to stay on the site longer by giving them a list of stories that their friends have recommended, which they might not have found on their own.\n\nTimesPeople is the latest in a string of good digital add-ons by the NYT - most recently, they introduced TimesMachine, an ad-supported archive of papers from 1851-1922, and allowed users to read stories via text message.\n\nUpdate: The NYT's Derek Gottfrid points out in comments that TimesPeople members will have RSS feeds of their activity, which can feed into FriendFeed.","saved":"2008-06-18T18:25:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3fe504e3a6dae543315987f5d3d6588a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/34635accbfd6/","kind":"page"},

Better do it fast: Web clips attract their peak audiences a mere three days after they're uploaded.\n\nThat's one finding from a study of more than 10,916 videos conducted by Web video and analytics firm TubeMogul, which looked at the popularity of videos in the first three months of their lives. The big picture: The study's results show that the life cycle of Web video follows a fairly rigid, predictable pattern. After two weeks, video audiences settle into a long, shallow tail, illustrated by the graph below.\n\n\n\nFor the purposes of the study, Tubemogul included only videos that had at least 1,000 views. Over that threshhold, the videos were selected at random and included some that got significant promotion on YouTube and other sites, as well as a few that, at some point, \"went viral.\" Those videos showed up as outliers, like the video represented by the '+' on day 36 in the graph below.\n\n\n\nWhat does this mean? Well, the notion that YouTube is full of evergreen content that can break at some point, strike a nerve and go viral, is just that-- a notion. Most video follows such a predictable pattern that their total audience can be estimated from number of views and time elapsed soon after a video is uploaded to the web.\n\nGive it a try: Tubemogul used its study to create a views calculator (bottom of page) to predict the ultimate total number of views that a video will receive in a year.

Other investors in the round include Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners and Bessemer Venture Partners. \n\n\n\nThe investors received a combined 5 percent stake in Mountain View-based LinkedIn, and the new financing round values the company at $1 billion, NYT reports, which is certainly heady, but at least for a company which has revenues and a clearer business path than others. The company has been on the IPO-watch list for a while now, but this financing probably delays it, and then the public markets being what they are, waiting out with this 'nuclear winter' round makes sense.\n\n\n\nThis brings the total money raised by the company to over $80 million and it has said it would have revenue of $100 million for 2008. LinkedIn, which says it is already profitable, will use the investment to make acquisitions and expand its overseas operations. The NYT story also breaks down in more details the revenue sources for the company: LinkedIn will get only a quarter of its projected $100 million in revenue this year from ads; part of it is also the premium subscription, which let users directly contact any other user; and then the third source of revenue is recruitment tools that companies can use to find passive job seekers. Also, the service is adding company groups beyond its current focus on individual business user: One new product, Company Groups, automatically gathers all the employees from a company who use LinkedIn into a single, private forum.\n\n\n\nBW: CEO Dan Nye, whose brother, Benjamin, is a partner at Bain (\"That was convenient in terms of an introduction,\" he notes), says LinkedIn didn't need the funds for day-to-day operations. In fact, the company hasn't yet spent a $12.8 million investment it took in January, 2007\n\n\n\nInteresting that the company investors did a video about this investment, embedded below (a delicious skewering of the video, by Connie Loizos, here):\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPic courtesy: tychay .\n\n\nRelated\n\n\nLinkedIn Close To Its 'Nuclear Winter' Round?\nLinkedIn: Yes, We Had M&A Talks\nUpdated: LinkedIn CEO Coy On Sale Rumors; $1 Billion Not Enough\n\n\nCheck out the best business jobs in digital media.

Pownce note permalink pages on the website currently look like this: http://pownce.com/leahculver/notes/2477365/\n\nThe generic form is:  http://pownce.com/&lt;sender username&gt;/note/&lt;note id&gt;/\n\nWhile these URLs are pretty descriptive and simple, theyre also a bit long. The note id is really the only piece of information we need from the URL, the sender username is just fluff. Id like to have an alternate URL that is quite a lot shorter that redirects to the final (longer) URL.\n\nI think the following set of characters look pretty good in URLs:\n23456789abcdefghijkmnpqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ\nBasically, 0-9a-zA-Z minus the confusing characters: 01loIO.\n\nNow, its fairly simple to convert a base 10 note id to this strange base 56 set assuming that the character order (digit-lower-upper) is maintained. The (very freshman-like) code is here.\n\nThe result is something like http://pownce.com/~g7YF/ will redirect to http://pownce.com/leahculver/notes/2477365/\n\nThis works very well for finding a note page based off a note id. Its also super handy for making a generic tiny-urlizing service. The only data that needs to be stored is the real URL and a numerical id - the unique primary key for the database row! I have no desire to run a tiny-urlizing service, but this would probably be how Id do it.\n\nNote: Pownce user profile pages are in the form http://pownce.com/&lt;username&gt;/ so a non-username character, such as ~ can signify that this is a note permalink as oppose to a profile page. I like the tilde, its got style a bit confusing for the Unix folks though.

I have been interested in photography for some time now, but earlier this year I really stepped it up by purchasing a DSLR (a Nikon D40 to be exact). I am the type of person who learns by doing, so I purchased this camera not knowing what Aperture, Shutter Speed or what an 18-55mm lens was. These are all terms that I have learned since my purchase, but one term that I only recently started to research is HDR.\n\nHDR means High Dynamic Range, and in photography, is when you combine multiple images with different exposures to create one master image (For examples of HDR images, check out the HDR group on Flickr). When I started to look for software that would help me create HDR images of my own, the one that seemed to come up the most was Photomatix. Unfortunately, I didnt have $99 to spend on it. One day looking through an issue of Macworld, I saw a program called Hydra, which did the same thing as Photomatix, but at a more affordable price.\n\nTo get started with Hydra, all you need is your 2 or more images you want combined. Hydra supports all RAW formats that Aperture does (outlined here). Hydra is split up into 2 windows, the first where the photos are displayed, and the second an inspector window. \n\nCreating an HDR image with Hydra can be broken up into three steps. Importing the images to be combined, aligning those images, and then the final merge.  \n\nTo import photos into Hydra, you can drag and drop them onto the Hydra window, open them from a folder, or use the media browser to find your images in iPhoto or Aperture. \n\n\n\nThe next step is aligning the images. The neat thing about Hydra, is that it claims you do not need a tripod when taking your images with different exposures. Hydra uses advanced aligning techniques to make sure that even if you didnt use a tripod, your images are perfectly aligned. You can align the images yourself, or have Hydra do it for you.\n\n\n\nThe last step, and the step that will affect the final outcome of your images the most, is the merging. There are two types of merging that you can do, each with their own options. 8-bit Blend takes 8-bit jpegs as input, and outputs an 8-bit image. You can adjust the smoothness of the blend, and how much of each image is used in the final output.  HDR Merge allows you to take 8 or 16-bit images (RAW images) and outputs EXR. EXR carries much more information than even 16-bit images, and preserves every bit of dynamics.\n\nHydra also comes with an Aperture plugin when you download it, so you can create your HDR images right within Aperture. After you install the plug-in (move the plug-in file to ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/. Create the folder if it is not already there), you just ned to select your image in Aperture, right-click, and select Edit With&gt;Hydra. A box will pop up, and you will be able to edit and save your final HDR right within Aperture.\n\nNow I am no expert at creating HDR images, but so far the results of my testing have been pretty neat. Hydra allows you to export your final image as  a JPG, TIFF or EXR. You can pick up Hydra for $59.95 from Creaceed software.\n\nWhat are your favorite examples of HDR images?","saved":"2008-06-15T11:00:57Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3090ebd28ccf6dfd96b652d940aeb4a4","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b2a8067801ff/","kind":"page"},

Some people have wondered why we changed our favicon -- after all, we hadn't in 8.5 years(!). The reason is that we wanted to develop a set of icons that would scale better to some new platforms like the iPhone and other mobile devices. So the new favicon is one of those, but we've also developed a group of logo-based icons that all hang together as a unified set. Here's the full set:The design process we went through was rigorous and interesting, so we thought we would share more of it here. We tried in total more than 300 permutations. It was much harder than we thought at first. We wanted something distinctive and noticeable, so we aimed toward transparency or semi-transparency, so the image would have a more distinctive noticeable shape than just a block. We wanted something that embraced the colorfulness of the logo, yet wouldn't date itself. Since we don't really have a symbol that means Google, we felt it best to work with the logo and letters within it. Our design team tried literally hundreds of approaches. You can see some of our explorations here.By no means is the one you're seeing our favicon final; it was a first step to a moreunified set of icons. However, we really value feedback from users and want to hear your ideas that we may have missed. If you have your own notions about the Google favicon, please send them to us. We'll do our best to work them in, and maybe your idea will be the one that people see billions of times per day.","saved":"2008-06-07T01:48:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7d24755e1a11aaa244e8c557df266330","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/25db0a15104c/","kind":"page"},

Amazons not naming names  all that director of strategic communications Craig Berman would say was that: Amazons systems are very complex and on rare occasions, despite our best efforts, they may experience problems.  Berman did confirm, however, that neither Amazon Web Services nor international sites were affected.  So what happened? Lets look at the facts.   Traffic to https://www.amazon.com was getting there. So DNS was configured properly to send traffic to Amazons data centers. Global server load balancing (GSLB) is the first line of defense when a data center goes off the air. Either GSLB didnt detect that the main data center was down, or there was no spare to which it could send visitors. When traffic hit the data center, the load balancer wasnt redirecting it. This is the second line of defense, designed to catch visitors who werent sent elsewhere by GSLB. If some of the servers died, the load balancer should have taken them out of rotation. Either it didnt detect the error, or all the servers were out. This is the third line of defense. Most companies have an apology page that the load balancer serves when all servers are down. This is the fourth line of defense, and it didnt work either. The HTTP 1.1 message users saw shows something that speaks HTTP was on the other end. So this probably wasnt a router or firewall.  This sort of thing is usually caused by a misconfigured HTTP service on the load balancer. But that would happen late at night, be detected, and rolled back. It could also happen from a content delivery network (CDN) not retrieving the home page properly.  So my moneys on an AFE or CDN problem. But as Berman notes, Amazons store is a complex application and much of their infrastructure doesnt follow normal data center design. So only time (and hopefully Amazon) will tell.  Site operators can learn from this: Look into GSLB, and make sure you have geographically distributed data centers (possibly through AWS Availability Zones.) Its another sign we cant take operations for granted, even in the cloud.","saved":"2008-06-06T22:32:17Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"116e6134c9472c1f3a3596db57658c36","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b94adaeab77d/","kind":"page"},

Theres either up or down, win or lose, success or failure. I think thats a harmful dichotomy that leads to the death of perfectly viable companies in their quest for constant growth.\n\n\n\nNot all companies are meant to have thousands of employees or a billion-dollar market cap. Some companies are meant to be just 10 people or 5 people or just one guy. Thats what their product, niche, or technique is capable of sustaining and theres absolutely no shame in that. Finding your natural size should be a triumph, not a capitulation.\n\n\n\nWe havent found the natural size for 37signals yet, but I can tell you that its not a thousand people. Its highly unlike to be a hundred. Right now its 10 and its been in that vicinity for quite some time. Our revenues have been more than doubling every year since the beginning, but that probably wont last forever either. Thats okay too!\n\n\n\nChasing growth as an end in itself makes it all too easy to give up optimizing for today: When we break 5 million dollars, well start working less, when were 50 people, well start giving more back to open source. Bah. Growth begets growth and youll end up chasing even bigger numbers and never have the time to do what you really want.\n\n\n\nDont let growth be your primary yardstick of success. You only get to celebrate breaking 5 million dollars in revenue once, taking Fridays off will make every single week a better one. Stop making excuses for why you cant do this or that in the name of growth. Just Do It.","saved":"2008-06-06T17:39:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3408a10dbd81fda0157b97a29c3d8e76","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/71b75d46a17c/","kind":"page"},

Starting at 6pm PT tonight, all Gmail users in the US and UK will see a new tab in the settings area called Labs. The tab will show a selection of beta features, such as Pictures in Chat, which (unsurprisingly) puts portraits in chat sessions, and Mouse Gestures, which allows you to navigate Gmail using mouse gestures.  \n\nAfter testing these features, users will be able to submit feedback directly to the developers themselves. Google will decide to incorporate some of these features into Gmail as default enhancements based on the feedback and total usage of each. This makes potential beta testers out of the millions of Gmail users out there (although not all Gmail features under development will go through Labs first).\n\n\n\nGmail product manager Keith Coleman says that any Google employee can add their creations to this tab once they go through a simple code check. Pretty much any idea will fly, even recreating the game Snake within Gmail, or creating a fun feature that locks users out from Gmail for 15 minutes so they can take a break. Developers are given full access to the entire Gmail code base, so they can modify almost anything (although Coleman avoided the question of whether a feature could be developed that removed ads).\n\nGoogle isnt saying when they might open the development environment up to the public, but they have shown interest in doing so eventually. The company has encouraged internal development for Gmail by holding a 2-day hack-a-thon, and of course, Googlers are encouraged to use 20% of their time on projects unrelated to their main positions.\n\nGoogle has traditionally tested feature additions to Gmail within the company by making them available first to other employees. This is the first time theyve opened the testing process and brought in outsiders on such a large scale (however, they have held small-scale usability tests with visitors).\n\nIts yet to be seen whether Gmail Labs will evolve into a more sophisticated development environment, perhaps one that integrates Open Social and other social networking standards. Coleman says this Open Social is something that has been discussed internally, but no announcements regarding its integration are being made now.\n\nAnother Gmail PM, Todd Jackson, was also present at the event. See our video interview with Todd here.\n\nHere are some screenshots of the Gmail Labs features that will soon be available:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchBoard because its time for you to find a new Job2.0","saved":"2008-06-05T23:03:55Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"9347f517ae497bc9e8e743eb4911cbcf","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/603e0e082b73/","kind":"page"},

I’m pleased to see him taking just this kind of approach for his talks. For lack of a better (and less corporate) title, I tend to think of David as the “CEO of Rails,” and I think elevating his talk to this level really works. It’s what we, as a community, should be hearing from him.\n\n\n\nEntrepreneurs on Rails\n\n\nI was privileged to be able to offer a talk again this year, and I was astounded by the number of people who came to hear it. Thanks to all of you! I’m grateful to the conference organizers, Chad, Shirley, and everybody else for accepting my talk, something that fell a bit outside of the normal range of topics for a technology conference.\n\n\n\nI hope that it was entertaining and informative to all of those who attended, and I’m really sorry that I wasn’t able to give the talk again on Sunday for the hundreds (!) of you who were kicked out by the Fire Marshall, or who missed it entirely because of the lack of space.\n\n\n\nYou can download the slides for the talk in PDF format here.\n\n\n\nPictures and Coffee\n\n\nI’d also like to say thanks to my good friend James Duncan Davidson for taking such cool photos of the conference, and for kidnapping me to Stumptown for coffee and Saint Cupcake for a unique Portland dessert.\n\n\n\nSpeaking of Portland\n\n\nI like Portland.

This means I get to spend less time than I’d like, because I have to spend so much time getting there and back. Portland is just about the furthest I can travel from home and still be in the continental United States. Getting to Europe is easier. Don’t get me wrong – it’s worth it, but it takes its toll on this kid from the southeast.\n\n\n\nI’m psyched that next year a new venue (Las Vegas?) is being considered. Although I’ve never been there before, don’t gamble, and don’t eat most of the food Vegas is known for, anything a bit more central is a boon for the rest of us.\n\n\n\nNext Up\n\n\nAfter my talk, many people asked me if I would provide some examples of contracts, NDAs, Product Outlines, and the other documents I mentioned. I do plan on doing this soon, and I’ve got some pretty cool things along these lines planned for for the very near future.\n\n\n\nThanks again, please stay tuned.\n","saved":"2008-06-04T12:42:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"ac7100e1d42b901e87340beffab4609c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/52d74521c198/","kind":"page"},

Sometimes it's the little things, like a new command-line trick or a method I've never used.  Other times it's the big things that you can only learn while watching them \"in the zone\": their thought processes, how they refactor code, when they choose one technique over another, how they troubleshoot problems along the way, and so on.  Indeed, the best way to get inside a developer's head is to watch him work.  So I try to shoulder-surf as much as I can because it helps me find ways to improve my development workflow.\n\n\n\n\nI've had the good fortune to meet experienced developers working with a number\nof different languages and tools. Unfortunately, I can't always sit next to\nthem as they build applications. So I did the next best thingI asked\nthem to record what's going on inside their head while incrementally building\nan application. And I took on the role of development editor so they could\nfocus on showing you how they work. That turned into a bigger project than any\nof us imagined.\n\n\n\n\nIt's been a long time in the making, but I'm excited to announce the launch of\nour new screencasts project. To start with we have episodes in the following\nfour series:\n\n\n\n\nBuilding a Dynamic Website with ExpressionEngine with Ryan Irelan\nCreating a Compelling User Interface with Core Animation with Bill Dudney\nErlang By Example with Kevin Smith\nEveryday Active Record with Ryan Bates\n\n\n\nEach series has a few 20-30 minute episodes to start the season, and more\nepisodes are on the way. You can follow along with each twist and turn as they\nadd new features to shape the application over time. For $5 per episode, you\ncan download and watch DRM-free episodes in QuickTime and iPod/iPhone format\nwhen and where it's convenient for you. These folks have put a ton of work\ninto creating these screencasts, and I hope you'll support their time and effort.\n\n\n\n\nThis is very much an organic project. We'll be releasing new episodes every\ncouple weeks or so, and we're planning to release new screencasts on other\ntopics, as well.

However, not all iTunes controllers are created equal, a principle perfectly demonstrated by Cover Stream, an awesome app from the people over at SNARB.TK. This awesome app takes all of the best features from a bunch of other iTunes controller apps and rolls those features into a streamlined, functional application that will make browsing your music a pleasure.\n\nThe first major thing about Cover Stream 2.0 is that it requires Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, as it employs the use of Apples new graphics engine CoreAnimation, as well as other Leopard-only technologies. The interface uses the Coverflow interface, which is rapidly becoming ubiquitous in the Mac application space. You can invoke the Coverflow window by using any key-combination that youd like, which is easily tweaked via the preferences menu of the application. The Coverflow window is chock full of handy buttons to control your music, including Play/Pause, and Forward/Backward buttons.\n\n\nThe main coverflow window has all of your iTunes album covers in the familiar Coverflow view. The info bar along the bottom lets you know whats playing as you search for more music.\n\nAnother incredibly useful feature of the Coverflow window is that you can actively search through your music simply by typing with the Cover Stream window set as the active window. In a similar fashion to Quicksilver, the app will start to narrow down your music library to try to make it easier for you to find what youre looking for. One thing Id really like to see implemented would be the ability to hit Backspace once to have it clear out the entire search, rather than just erasing the last typed character.\n\n\n\nThe point at which Cover Stream far surpasses all other iTunes controller applications that Ive reviewed to this point is the multitude of interfaces with which you can see what youre listening to. In the preferences of the app you have the option to turn Desk Art off and on, which allows you to display the currently playing track on any corner of the desktop. This is really useful, and highly customizable so youre sure to find a way that you like it. Additionally, the Desk Art feature employs the wet floor appearance that is also becoming ubiquitous in some of our favorite apps.\n\n\n\nThe final major interface that you can use to interact with your music is the Menubar Dropdown interface. By clicking on the menubar icon for Cover Stream you can see whats playing, change ratings, and things of that sort. Its very straightforward, and really simple to use.\n\n\n\nIn addition to the different interfaces, there are a ton of other features that this awesome app employs. The preference pane offers Last.FM integration, which many people use. Also, Cover Stream interacts with Growl notifications, if you have Growl installed on your Mac. It also integrates with the Apple Remote, has an awesome full screen mode, and other customizable hotkeys.\n\n\n\nOverall, this application is incredibly useful and really a pleasure to use. Cover Stream is available from SNARB.TK and costs 14.95, which includes free updates for life.","saved":"2008-05-26T11:00:01Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"adb84ecc37ca70f6ec17fd86d44b1ca3","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/97cfc2d9fb4b/","kind":"page"},

It is an inherently stupid and dumb thing to do, considering that not only it puts their own well being at risk, it raises dangers for everyone on the around. There have be an increase in number of the accidents as a result of the DWT (Driving while TXTing) \n\nApparently there are many such people out there. A survey by Common Knowledge Research Services on behalf of Vlingo, polled 5,000 people about their text messaging habits. The study found that nearly 28% people send text messages while driving. The drivers in South Carolina (word), Tennessee, Georgia, Maryland and Louisiana are the worst offenders. Arizona has the lowest incidence of DWT, the survey reports. \n\nI wonder if this is a more dangerous trend than simply talking on the cell phone while driving, and needs to be legislated as soon as possible. Twenty three US states are considering legislation to ban driving while texting. They should do it soon. The survey shows that 85% of those who were texting while driving say they wont DWT if it was illegal. To them: you dont need a law to not be stupid. \n\n\n\nSome other interesting facts from the survey: \n\n* 55% consumers use their mobile phones to text message.\n* 42% use their mobile phones equally or more for texting than making phones calls.\n* 85% of teens (ages 13-19) and young adults (ages 20-29) are the most inclined to txt.\n* 34% send 500 or more texts each month.","saved":"2008-05-25T16:35:15Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e2346178ec74e8ffc1eaedc069ebcd0e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/51d586c7b45c/","kind":"page"},

The ratings are based on reviews (either anonymous or not) written by entrepreneurs whove pitched those VCs. \n\nShould you pitch VCs that have higher ratings? No. Their rating is irrelevant, and some of the VCs that have the best track record at picking, building and selling companies also have the worst reputations on the site. Whether reviews come in positive or negative, they arent worth much. Rejected entrepreneurs always want to blame someone for their failure - one place to turn that anger is TheFunded. Funded entrepreneurs want to get points by saying how great a VC is - and they, too, turn to TheFunded. At the end of the day, TheFunded is a great read, but the reviews are worthless and conflicted.\n\nDo you really care if a venture capitalist shows up to your meeting ten minutes late or forgets to offer you a beverage? If a VC goes out of his or her way to be nice to you, is that really a reason to take money from them? \n\nThink of it this way. If a VC stops a meeting early and says theyll get back to you (that means no thanks, were passing), theyre doing both of you a favor. A deal isnt going to happen. Its far better to turn your attention to the next door down on Sand Hill Road than go moaning about it on TheFunded. \n\nFocus on your business, and if you are lucky enough to have your choice of VCs when raising funding, take the best terms from the best branded VC you can get, even if you dont get a latte when you drop by their office. Your goal should be to build a successful company, not have your ego stroked.\n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchBoard because its time for you to find a new Job2.0","saved":"2008-05-20T07:59:58Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"145e3fe623b31ffec31d1dff3c80616c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d40386933e56/","kind":"page"},

It too intends to make email more manageable, albeit with a greater focus on projects than people (you wont find any attempt to turn email contacts into a social network here).\n\nClearContext Personal has a number of tricks up its sleeve. First, it analyzes 30-40 characteristics of each message that hits your inbox to determine its priority. Messages deemed important, semi-important, or unimportant are color coded as such, and you can sort by this prioritization so that all your most important emails show up on top.\n\n\n\nYou can also organize your messages into topics and then view all of the contacts and attachments from messages within these topics. Attachments can be seen in a panel below your messages or viewed in a fullscreen attachment explorer that allows for file previews.\n\nTo help users deal with an overload of social network notifications, ClearContext automatically places these notification messages into special folders. It then summarizes the type of notifications you have received so that you dont have to view them one-by-one. In a panel below your inbox, for example, you can view how many friend requests, messages, confirmations, and invitations you have received on Facebook. If you go into the special Facebook folder, you can choose to view notifications by these types. Similar functionality is available for LinkedIn, and ClearContext can be extended with other services that offer their own filters via a simple XML file.\n\nTheres a handful of other features, such as a panel for keeping track of your threaded conversations, as you would in Gmail. An unsubscribe button also lets you opt out of future replies to a thread (for when people get a little too comfortable hitting the reply all button). \n\nThe first 200 users who sign up with the code techcrunch will be invited to download the plugin, which launches in private beta today. A batch of randomly-selected users will also get free licenses to ClearContexts paid project management plugin, as well as invites to the upcoming professional version of its personal software, which offers some extra bells and whistles.\n\nFor other innovations in email, see Xoopit and Zenbe.\n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchBoard because its time for you to find a new Job2.0","saved":"2008-05-19T09:00:08Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a3552a2f098f00b7263c04f434ce50e6","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4b984920d421/","kind":"page"},

All of these speak to the growing popularity of Twitter, and also help to explain its recent scaling issues. But how big is twitter, who uses it and how? \n\nGrowth a tween would be proud of.\n\nIn the past few months, Twitter has grown rapidly. In terms of U.S. visitors, Compete has seen Twitter traffic nearly double from February to April, currently attracting nearly 1.2 million people per month. Looking at Twitters Attention share helps to further illustrate how fast the service has grown.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe chart above shows Twitters share of daily attention for the past 180 days, and reveals some interesting patterns.\n\n\nIn terms of time spent on site as a share of all time spent online, Twitter has grown dramatically - more than quadrupling over the period.\nTwitter is a weekday event  While its difficult to tell in the chart above, the valleys in the chart below coincide with the weekend, while the peaks represent weekdays. On any typical weekday, Twitter is receiving more than twice the attention as a weekend day.\nThe weekday skewed tweet activity makes sense in the context of Lee Oddens Twitter usage poll - which highlighted twitter users affinity for networking and sharing content through twitter.\n\nIts fun to hang with the Y.M.T.A \n\nWho are these 1.2 million visitors, and how intensely do they use the site? We segmented visitors by intensity of use, gender and age for the month of April to get a better idea. Generally, users skew young, male, and addicted to twitter.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe data above shows that nearly one quarter of all twitter visitors to the site are heavy users (6+ visits/month), and another 25% are light users (2-5 visits/month). It should be noted that the somewhat lenient definition of a heavy user was a result of the many ways user can connect to Twitter.\n\nThe gender and age breakdowns indicate that users skew young and male. These two charts are indexed to the U.S internet average, where 100 is the average. \n\n\nTwitter users are 10% more likely to be male than the average internet user. This skew is nearly identical across all three Usage groups.\nTwitter skews heavily towards the college/twenty-something crowd. Twitter attracts 18-24 year-olds at nearly twice the rate of an average U.S website.\nSplitting age demographics based on usage intensity shows that heavy users tend to skew older than visitors who only hit the site once a month. This could indicate that while the younger segments are more exploratory, the 25-44 year old segments have found more value in Twitter and started to ramp up usage.\n\nTwitter may be growing like crazy but its yet to go mainstream. Interestingly, Twitters strategy of letting developers re-purpose its data may help the service reach the tipping point by making Twitters value more accessible. Check back next week to see how these twitter based sites (like twitterlocal and summize) are building a loyal base.","saved":"2008-05-16T13:22:52Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"73bd73099ccbff1dc3f5b746b1781071","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9bd0c1ca1f55/","kind":"page"},

The ability to utilize the power of Google Maps from Flash is one of those requests that has been popping up on blog posts and other forums since the beginning of time (or more accurately, the beginning of the Javascript Maps API). Over the past few hours, I've had the enjoyment of finally seeing this particular feature request - a Maps API for Flash - come to fruition. Tiredness will grab me soon, no doubt. If you're one of the first readers of this post, rest assured that I'm unlikely to still be awake: long hours have been worked; pre-launch nerves have jangled. Now it's time to let our baby loose into the world and see how the developer community will embrace it.\n\n\n\nSo, what do I like about the API for Flash? Smoothness and speed are a big part of it. We've designed it so that Flash graphics can be used for each tile layer, marker and info window - opening up possibilities like dynamic shading, shadowing, animation, and video. When the user zooms the map, magnification changes happen smoothly and place names fade in. After the user drags a marker, it gently bounces to a halt. Generally, Flash allows for much greater embellishment, and, well... \"flashiness.\" I get excited just thinking about the creative ways developers might take advantage of having a Flash API for Google Maps.\n\n\n\nWhat was one of our main design decisions for this project? We knew that version 1 of any software project is not perfect, so we opted to split the interface and implementation.  As a result, you can build against the current version of the API, and as we add enhancements and tweaks, your website benefits automatically from each update. When you wish to take advantage of new API functions, only then do you need to download the latest API and rebuild.\n\n\n\nWhat does it look like? We've played with it, thrown our ideas in, and also worked with outside companies to see how they use the API. It's been a pleasure to see some of the demos that have come back. Here's one from AFComponents that shows some of the possibilities:\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen I first joined Google in Sydney, I got to hear about the experience of the Maps team when they first watched the traffic and the buzz build for the launch of Google Maps. Well, now I'm ready to experience that with this new API. Do send us feedback, we're looking forward to it.\n\n\n\nWhat remains? Over to you.\n\n","saved":"2008-05-14T12:40:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3b4c5daafcb05d176c1574a58cbcf947","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1e3c373b2eef/","kind":"page"},

I have used NVelocity quite a few times over the last couple of years.\n  CSBTL - this project never went public, but basically it removed the need to understand web forums and complicated server controls for building Community Server blog themes.  Graffiti - Graffiti supports a very simple theming model which enables building new themes with no knowledge of web forms and/or ASP.Net While you have more options using aspx pages, I generally prefer the simplicity of doing web pages via NVelocity. There are no complicated server controls, complete control over the markup, simple extensibility, and no need to jump between contexts when iterating over a list. \n With this in mind, I was very happy to find the NVelocityViewFactory as part of the MvcContrib project. With just a couple configuration steps, I was able to use NVelocity views for my ASP.Net MVC projects. Sweetness! \n For example, Phil Haack, has a post which discusses options to doing a simple repeater. This could be greatly simplified with NVelocity (see below). No code needs to be written, no context switching for properties, etc.\n  <table>#foreach($hobby in $hobbies)  <tr class=\"#if($velocityCount % 2 == 0)row #else alt-row #end\">    <td>$hobby.Title</td>  </tr>#end</table>\nIn addition, using fancy loops we could easily add content to be shown if it is empty and better structure our markup.\n\n\n#foreach($hobby in $hobbies)#beforeall    <table>#before    <tr class=#even    \"row\">#odd     \"alt-row\">#each    <td>$hobby.Title</td> #after    </tr>#afterall    </table>#nodata    <h3>Sorry, no hobbies</h3>#end\nThe above example takes it to the extreme (all parts are optional), but should give you an indication of power available to you, again, all without requiring you to write a single line of code.\n\n[1] As mentioned on the Castle site, the original NVelocity project seems to be dead.

The leverage fund only put up $100 million of its own cash, with the rest coming form financiers. A letter to the fund's investors, excerpted by the paper, sings a familiar song: \"In the past year, the newspaper industry has suffered greater than expected declines in circulation and advertising revenue, particularly in print classified advertising.\" The letter also denied a NYP report saying the entity was on the brink of bankruptcy, though the firm has hired Blackstone to help it deal with its financial issues.\n\n\n\nBasically, the company's losses are in range with what's been seen elsewhere: McClatchy (NYSE: MNI) shares are down over 60 percent since the end of 2006.

Times Online EIC Anne Spackman told me WSJ bosses flew to London today to meet her team: \"It will be partly about tools, partly about deep linking to each other's content. Wall Street Journal is such a powerful brand.\" Away from just The Times, she suggested The Sun has plenty on common with The New York Post, too.\n\n\n\nDuring an earlier session at the Periodical Publishers Association's Magazines 2008 conference in London, Spackman said: \"We are increasingly linking to them around subjects of common interest. Our friends Down under at news.com.au - we link to sport with them on cricket and rugby; with the Wall Street Journal, it will be the same on business. It will be an extremely useful thing in a way that it would never have been when we were only selling to our home audiences and when there was no power of the link.\" But she cautioned it's very early days on the exact form of integration, and nothing's decided upon yet - Spackman is due to meet the WSJ folks later today to discuss options. \n\n\n\nLast week, The Times said it was working with WSJ to develop ad cross-selling opportunities from a new New York office, now it seems the integration will be editorial too.

Today, the company officially announced:\n\n\nSuns OpenSolaris OS will be available on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) customers for free. It is in beta for now.\nSun will provide premium technical support for MySQL database running on Linux and Amazon EC2.\n\nThese developments are meant to address the needs and complaints of the developer community. OpenSolaris, which comes with tools such as ZFS and Dynamic Tracing (D-Trace), will be offered for free, in contrast to some Linux offerings that cost money. For instance, if you sign up for EC2 and pick RedHat, it costs $19. ZFS allows instant rollback and continual check-summing capabilities, something developers have found lacking in the EC2 platform. This OpenSolaris on Amazon EC2 beta is currently available by invitation only. Some software vendors, including GigaSpaces, Rightscale, Thoughtworks and Zmanda, are already offering their solutions via Amazon Machine.\n\nFrom OStatic: As Sun Microsystems JavaOne conference kicks off this week, the company has announced its free new OpenSolaris open source operating system. Its available for download . The big question with OpenSolaris is how it may compete against Linux rivals, especially since it is a fully supported operating system.

First, we think that this will probably be the “final” centralized system that gets written in the open source world — it represents the end-of-the-line for this model of code collaboration.  It will continue to be used for many years, but specifically it will gain huge mindshare in the corporate world, while (eventually) losing mindshare to distributed systems in the open-source arena.\n\nThe thing is, DVCSs can be preferable to Subversion, even when used in a centralized style. That’s mostly how I use Git, but I appreciate its speed, the efficiency of its disk use (much less space used and many fewer files, which really matter for multi-gigabyte repositories), merging, and not having to worry about .svn folders getting clobbered or moved to the wrong place when I reorganize. Subversion works well, and there are a lot of tools that integrate with it, but as the ecosystems for the DVCSs improve, I can’t see why they wouldn’t start to gain mindshare and marketshare, even outside the open-source world.\n\nSecondly, I don’t really see why Collins-Sussman thinks that Subversion’s advantage is with large projects. I think it’s the opposite.\n","saved":"2008-05-02T14:31:17Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b381422fed1cf7feaf78c9af4bec6c85","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/947de5681689/","kind":"page"},

I would have liked to tell you in person, or at least over the phone or email. I have spoken with so many relatives, friends and colleagues of both myself and my husband over the past three days that I am utterly exhausted -- both mentally and physically. I hope you will understand.\n\n\n\n\nDear Friends and Family,It is with a heavy heart that I write this letter. On Sunday afternoon, April 27, my husband Christopher Mark Leighton-Brooder passed away. To say that I am deeply devastated does not even cover the range of emotions I am feeling. I was out of town at my parent's place in Wisconsin when he shot himself, and I found him Sunday afternoon after returning home. I feel incredibly sad that he was alone when he died, and wish that there had been something I could have done to save him.Words cannot express what I felt or how I reacted. I am just heartbroken and cannot believe he is gone. Christopher suffered from depression and anxiety for many years, and quite possibly bi-polar disorder although this had never been diagnosed. It is my belief that he was on the wrong medication and/or dosage because his primary care physician simply prescribed antidepressants without following up afterward. He simply refilled the prescription, time after time over the last 2 years, with no questions asked. In fact, Christopher’s doctor did not even have a psychologist on record when the medical examiner inquired. To be honest, Christopher should have been seeing a psychiatrist to help him manage the combination of drugs he was taking as well as the dosages and side effects. I feel resentful towards his physician for not taking him seriously, and for the flippant nature in which his healthcare was managed.One of Christopher’s closest friends suffers from bi-polar disorder and talked to me about it a couple days ago. He says it took him many different doctors, medications, and treatments to find the right medication. He feels immense guilt because he had wanted to talk to Christopher about his manic-depressive episodes. I reassured Christopher's friend that each of us feels like we could have done something more, particularly me.Christopher and I had been through marital counseling in 2007 for things that, in retrospect, seem quite trivial. However, I now see that they were symptomatic of much larger problems rooted deeply in his depression. Christopher never quite recovered from his mother’s death in 1999 and there were other factors that perpetuated his pain, fear, anxiety, and sense of hopelessness.Some of you knew Christopher before we started dating, and many of you met him over the course of the last 4 years. I never would have guessed that this is how it would end, and I am sure you would agree on that.Christopher was a bright star who did everything with immense passion – even if it meant expressing an unpopular opinion or embarrassing himself in the process. He often got himself into trouble for making inappropriate jokes or saying things without thinking, but people usually forgave him because he was such a lovable guy. He was extremely passionate about his design work, and this passion earned him much respect in his field.He came to be respected by his colleagues and friends because they knew that he would speak his mind and stand up for his beliefs, no matter what.  His unique set of skills made him a valuable asset to any company at which he worked. He had immense talent in aesthetic design; expertise in technical infrastructure; a keen understanding of user experience, usability and human factors; and extreme passion for designing things the right way. These traits made him a valuable asset to each of the companies who employed his services throughout his career.I felt I could trust Christopher with my life. He loved me with such passion and abandon, and was honest to a fault. He was such a sensitive, loving person. I feel extreme guilt that I was drifting away from him when I should have been keeping an eye on him and monitoring his health, but I did not understand the depth and complexity of his illness. There were sides to Christopher that I never knew, that no one knew, and these things took control and told him what to do.I love him dearly, and am so completely sad that he will no longer be in my life. He was my ‘Marco’…I called him that because his dad calls him Mark (after his middle name). I know that he is now reunited with his mom, and somehow that gives me peace.Love, Susanne\n","saved":"2008-05-01T11:54:23Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"4f48001ebcaf62ffad6d824520e95905","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/18d39d44271d/","kind":"page"},

The idea that the future operating system was on the net, on Microsoft's cloud, and you would log onto everything with Windows Passport and all your stuff would be up there. It turns out: nobody needed this place for all their stuff. And nobody trusted Microsoft with all their stuff. And Hailstorm went away.\n\nI tried to coin a term for the kind of people who invented Hailstorm: architecture astronauts. \"That's one sure tip-off to the fact that you're being assaulted by an Architecture Astronaut: the incredible amount of bombast; the heroic, utopian grandiloquence; the boastfulness; the complete lack of reality. And people buy it! The business press goes wild!\"\n\nThe hallmark of an architecture astronaut is that they don't solve an actual problem... they solve something that appears to be the template of a lot of problems. Or at least, they try. Since 1988 many prominent architecture astronauts have been convinced that the biggest problem to solve is synchronization.\n\nFollow the story, here. I started picking on one company that appeared to be particularly astronautish: Groove, which was trying to rebuild Lotus Notes (a giant synchronization machine) in a peer-to-peer fashion.\n\nGroove had some early success selling secure networks to the military-industrial complex, but didn't make much of a ripple outside that niche. Their real success was in getting bought by Microsoft, which brought Groove's designer and chief architecture-astronaut Ray Ozzie to the role of \"Chief Software Architect\" at Microsoft, supposedly the technical guy that would keep inventing the future after BillG left so that Steve Ballmer would have some new territory on which to build his next illegal monopoly.\n\nAnd now Ray Ozzie's big achievement arrives and what is it? (drumroll...) Microsoft Live Mesh. The future of everything. Microsoft is \"moving into the cloud.\"\n\nWhat's Microsoft Live Mesh?\n\nHmm, let's see.\n\n\"Imagine all your devices—PCs, and soon Macs and mobile phones—working together to give you anywhere access to the information you care about.\"\n\nWait a minute. Something smells fishy here. Isn't that exactly what Hailstorm was supposed to be? I smell an architecture astronaut.\n\nAnd what is this Windows Live Mesh?\n\nIt's a way to synchronize files.\n\nJeez, we've had that forever. When did the first sync web sites start coming out? 1999? There were a million versions. xdrive, mydrive, idrive, youdrive, wealldrive for ice cream. Nobody cared then and nobody cares now, because synchronizing files is just not a killer application. I'm sorry. It seems like it should be. But it's not.\n\nBut Windows Live Mesh is not just a way to synchronize files. That's just the sample app. It's a whole goddamned architecture, with an API and developer tools and in insane diagram showing all the nifty layers of acronyms, and it seems like the chief astronauts at Microsoft literally expect this to be their gigantic platform in the sky which will take over when Windows becomes irrelevant on the desktop. And synchronizing files is supposed to be, like, the equivalent of Microsoft Write on Windows 1.0.\n\nIt's Groove, rewritten from scratch, one more time. Ray Ozzie just can't stop rewriting this damn app, again and again and again, and taking 5-7 years each time.\n\nAnd the fact that customers never asked for this feature and none of the earlier versions really took off as huge platforms doesn't stop him.\n\nHow on earth does Microsoft continue to pour massive resources into building the same frigging synchronization platforms again and again? Damn, they just finished building something called Windows Live FolderShare and I haven't exactly noticed a stampede to that. I'll bet you've never even heard of it. The 3,398th web site that lets you upload and download files to a place on the Internet. I'm so excited I might just die.\n\nI shouldn't really care. What Microsoft's shareholders want to waste their money building, instead of earning nice dividends from two or three fabulous monopolies, is no business of mine. I'm not a shareholder. It sort of bothers me, intellectually, that there are these people running around acting like they're building the next great thing who keep serving us the same exact TV dinner that I didn't want on Sunday night, and I didn't want it when you tried to serve it again Monday night, and you crunched it up and mixed in some cheese and I didn't eat that Tuesday night, and here it is Wednesday and you've rebuilt the whole goddamn TV dinner industry from the ground up and you're giving me 1955 salisbury steak that I just DON'T WANT. What is it going to take for you to get the message that customers don't want the things that architecture astronauts just love to build. The people? They love twitter. And flickr and delicious and picasa and tripit and ebay and a million other fun things, which they do want, and this so called synchronization problem is just not an actual problem, it's a fun programming exercise that you're doing because it's just hard enough to be interesting but not so hard that you can't figure it out.\n\nWhy I really care is that Microsoft is vacuuming up way too many programmers. Between Microsoft, with their shady recruiters making unethical exploding offers to unsuspecting college students, and Google (you're on my radar) paying untenable salaries to kids with more ultimate frisbee experience than Python, whose main job will be to play foosball in the googleplex and walk around trying to get someone...anyone...to come see the demo code they've just written with their \"20% time,\" doing some kind of, let me guess, cloud-based synchronization... between Microsoft and Google the starting salary for a smart CS grad is inching dangerously close to six figures and these smart kids, the cream of our universities, are working on hopeless and useless architecture astronomy because these companies are like cancers, driven to grow at all cost, even though they can't think of a single useful thing to build for us, but they need another 3000-4000 comp sci grads next week. And dammit foosball doesn't play itself.\n\nNot loving your job?

What's unfortunate about it is that the podcasts, blogs and\nother media I've consumed from the tech world are becoming hopelessly\nout of touch.\nI know I've previously blogged about this with regards to Leo Laporte and the This Week in Tech gang's comments about how \"nobody uses .NET,\" but reverse awareness is also getting out of hand. This post from Scoble is one of countless about Twitter,\nand it's hopelessly out of touch. The comments on the post seem to\nconcur. Twitter has become something of a flagship for attention\nwhoring, especially in that pseudo-celebrity community. Seriously, I'm\nso tired of hearing about it, about how great it is and it's changing\nthe world.\nI'm not generally one to be a poopy pants about new\ntechnology, but I agree with the comments about how this thing is a\nniche feature for something else, not a business. VC's keep sinking\nmoney into it, and for what? It feels like 2000 all over again.\nAnd\nit wouldn't be so damn annoying if it weren't for the constant, \"This\nis our attention whoring party and we're so awesome,\" kinds of posts\nand comments. Seriously, take it to your average high school, and\nthey'll be like, \"Yeah, I can send text messages, what do I need this\nfor?\" Even kids who live for attention don't see the value in this.\nThe\npseudo-celebrities are living unbalanced lives, as far as I'm\nconcerned, which probably contributes to their lack of perspective on\nTwitter's true impact. I don't think it's an over-generalization to say\nthat most people outside the valley don't feel any need to share when\nthey take a dump to their followers, or know when the followers are\ntaking a dump. There are so many more important things going on at all\ntimes, and this constant connection noise is, in my opinion, a waste of\ntime.\nDo any of these people turn off the electronic devices and\nspend time with their kids, pets, a book or a movie or whatever?

I have a few other projects happening at the same time — at work, at home, at church and at my other websites, and I apologise for neglecting this blog. Hopefully I will get back to writing here again. I am also hoping to write shorter pieces — maybe just 2 or 3 paragraphs — so I can make more frequent posts.\n\n\nNow, something I have been doing over the last couple of days is to upgrade my Ubuntu servers to 8.04 Hardy Heron, which was “officially” released last Thursday. Now it has been almost two months since I wrote my last blog post, which was about switching from Gentoo to Ubuntu, and now most servers/VPSs that I am personally responsible for (except those at work) are running Ubuntu. Hardy Heron is a LTS (Long Term Support) release which I am hoping to build most my apps on for the next 2 weeks. Upgrading to it from previous Ubuntu releases is surprisingly trivial.\n\n\n\n\n\n# apt-get update\n# apt-get upgrade\n# apt-get install update-manager-core\n# do-release-upgrade\n[blah blah blah]\n\n\nThe first two steps are only there to ensure you already have latest updates for the current release. It’s quite possible that “update-manager-core” has already been installed. “do-release-upgrade” does all the bulky work — checking whether a new release is available, checking how many packages need to be updated, download, unpackage and install all packages + resolving potential conflicts, etc. And at the end it just reboots your server. Wait for a minute and two, connect back in and hopefully you will be running 8.04 Hardy Heron. I was lucky that it worked on all my Ubuntu boxes.\n\n\nDo note that the upgrading script, which was written in Python, does chew up quite a lot of memory. I have one tiny 64MB (+256MB swap) VPS that almost got killed with OOM. So be prepared, but YMMV.\n\n\nSo far as a server I haven’t experienced with too much differences. PostgreSQL 8.3 was in but Firebird 2.1 wasn’t (although it should be included “soon”). Now, back to more code hacking.\n\n \n","saved":"2008-04-30T07:30:23Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2aff89878d072953c51410b98e616ec0","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e2c873320771/","kind":"page"},

Users will now be able to manage all of their financial assets on the Mint site. With this change, Mint says, 6,500 US financial institutions: 2,520 banks, 1,621 credit cards, and 2,381 investment accounts are supported. \n\nBrokerage, IRA, 401k and 529 assets can be managed. For now, only student loan accounts and mortgages are left off, although support for those types of accounts is coming soon. The site will show all your buys, sells, dividend distributions, etc. across multiple accounts. Dive into a single account or equity for its individual performance. Account performance v. the S&P and other indexes is graphed, and account charges are also shown.\n\nThere are some things you still wont be able to do with Mint, such as stock trades, bill payments and funds transfers. Mint CEO Aaron Patzer says those features will eventually be added, with a focus on bill payments first. Funds transfers and stock trades are a little stickier, though, and may eventually require state and/or federal regulation of the company.\n\nInvestments will soft launch on May 6 for very active Mint users and roll out from there. Anyone who wants to be in the beta right at launch (whether they are a current Mint user or not) can sign up at mint.com/techcrunch and will be added on May 6.\n\nOther services, including Cake Financial (another TechCrunch40 startup) Vestopia, Covestor, and UpDown also offer investment tracking.\n\nWeve been tracking Mint since their launch at TechCrunch40 last year.

As this date gets closer and\ncloser, they have stubbornly insisted that they will not change their plans.\n\n\nLast week, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer blinked,\nbut in a rather confusing way:\n\n\n\n The sensible part: Ballmer claimed that they might\n     reconsider their decision if that's what customers wanted.\n     \n \n The confusing part: Ballmer appeared to be completely\n     ignorant of the multitudes of people publicly begging for XP to get a stay\n     of execution.\n\n\nJust want kind of customer feedback would Ballmer be able to\nhear?\n\n\nIt's really not that hard to find overwhelming evidence of\nlarge numbers of people who want to continue using XP. A simple Google search\nfor the string \"save\nwindows XP\" results in over 200 thousand hits.\n\n\nOh yeah, I forgot -- Steve probably doesn't use Google. Maybe\nthe problem is that he just can't find any XP fans on the Internets? :-)\n\n\nOr maybe Ballmer is following the now fashionable trend of\ncounting an Internet person as only 3/5 of a real person?\n\n\n\n Sure, Ron Paul has lots of fanatical supporters, but they're\n     mostly just people on the Internet, and they don't really count.\n     \n \n Sure, Barack Obama has raised truckloads of money, but he\n     mostly gets it from people on the Internet, and they don't really count.\n     \n \n Sure, over 170 thousand people have signed the Save Windows XP petition,\n     but those people are on the Internet, so they don't really count.\n\n\nOr maybe this is simply the most arrogant corporate decision\nin history? Maybe Steve can hear all of these desperate cries but he simply\ndoesn't care.\n\n\nPower corrupts. Every monstrously large organization\neventually turns into, well, a monster. The next step is for all these\norganizations to start borrowing each other's tactics. Hey Steve, why not\nstart waterboarding everybody who won't switch to Windows Vista? Apparently\nit's legal. :-)\n\n\nThe whole situation is most annoying to those of us who are\nrunning small software companies. Unlike Microsoft, we actually have to listen\nto our customers. When they tell us to jump, we ask how high.\n\n\nMicrosoft is telling millions of its customers to jump. Out\nof principle, I am doing my best not to comply:\n\n\n\n I'm typing this blog entry on Windows XP.\n     \n \n That instance of Windows XP is actually a VMware image\n     running on my Mac. I started using a MacBook Pro with Leopard a couple\n     months ago. And I love it.\n     \n \n I just donated fifty bucks to the ReactOS project. I'm figuring that in\n     the long run, I've got a better chance of getting Windows XP from ReactOS\n     than from Redmond.\n\n\nSome of my readers are horrified at this blog entry. \"But\nEric, aren't you a .NET developer?\"\n\n\nYes, I am. My overall posture toward Microsoft is still\nfriendly. I still use Windows every day. I still love Visual Studio. C# is\nstill my favorite language ever. Heck, I'm even a big WPF fan, so I'd actually\nprefer to see the world switch to Vista. I've used Vista, and while I didn't\nfind it to be a compelling \"must-have\" upgrade, I rather liked it.\n\n\nBut none of this means that I'm going to give my blanket\nagreement to every decision Microsoft makes. In this case, I object to\nMicrosoft's plan, not because Vista is so awful, but rather, because ignoring\ncustomers is so wrong.","saved":"2008-04-28T17:22:38Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"27e3b3af5af2e461ffefb6f748f3028a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/540819b4670e/","kind":"page"},

Then I thought, hey, why don’t I write about that instead.\n\nSo this is about using the new Git fast version control system on Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10. to add version control to your Wordpress installation.\n\n\n\nSo why bother? Especially if you copy your wordpress structure periodically? Well, obviously you can get by with that or frequently zipping into dated snapshots after you make changes. There are advantages though. Usually you’ll get rid of the oldest zip files because you’ll probably never need them, and you probably won’t be taking a snapshot after every change you make. You’re also missing some nice extras like providing comments about changes you’ve made.\n\nSo first you’ll want to install git. One way to do that is sudo apt-get install git, but as various blogs will point out git is being developed pretty actively and the packages typically trail a few versions. Piku describes the steps you would take to install 1.5.5 which is what I did. You can also browse http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ to see which is the highest available version.\n\nFrom Piku’s Blog Updating git on ubuntu:\n\nmkdir ~/build\ncd ~/build\nwget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.5.5.1.tar.bz2\nsudo apt-get build-dep git-core\ntar xjf git-1.5.5.1.tar.bz2\ncd git-1.5.5.1/\n./configure\nmake\nsudo make install\n\nAnd now you can git stuff. Next go to your wordpress directory, create a git repository there, and commit the current version of your code.\n\ncd /path/to/your/site/wordpress\ngit init\ngit add .\ngit commit -m \"initial import\"\n\nThat’s it. If you want to ls -la you will see there is now a hidden .git directory inside the wordpress directory. It contains all information you would need to restore all of the contents to this state at any time.\n\nAlso assuming your Wordpress directory is being published by something like Apache, you’ll want to adjust the security. The following line will take away any read-only access the www-data Apache user would have by default. If you don’t do this, then you’re probably publishing your repository for the rest of the world to download. Very, very bad since your mysql password is probably in the wp-config.php file.\n\nchmod -R og-rwd .git\n\nYou can also check the history with git log, or check to see if any files have been added or modified with git status.\n\nNow whenever you make changes you can update your own private version control system with the following:\n\ngit status\ngit add .\ngit commit -m \"changed blah blah for yadda reasons\"\ngit log\n\nThe next thing you’re probably going to want to do is push a copy of this hidden git repository onto another location, or even better onto another machine. You may also have a situation where you will make some local changes and decide you simply want to revert to the most recent commit. At this point I think the responsible thing for me to do is leave you searching the git site itself because I would hate to throw a command-line out there someone with more experience will say is completely wrong.\n\nAh, what the heck. I’ll throw one out there and hopefully someone who knows what they’re doing will correct it.\n\ngit reset --hard will force the current directory to return to the state which was last committed. The exception will be new files that have never been added, but you can git status to see which extra files that would be. If you’re feeling especially brave, or potentially foolish, you could do the following:\n\nsudo rm -rf *\ngit reset --hard\ngit status\n\nOf course you’ll want to be absolutely certain your current directory is the correct one. Do a “ls -la” first to make sure there’s the .git folder present before you rm. I’ve verified the “sudo rm -rf *” line will not remove the hidden .git folder at the same time. Still it’s such a scary thing to do I’d recommend just using “git status” and removing the extras after you reset.\n\n(As always any corrections in comments are greatly appreciated.)\n","saved":"2008-04-28T03:45:15Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"12890dae0e16bd6555e33923c2055c8a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/dd863bd28c7a/","kind":"page"},
{"id":"12c4365bfb2a","hash":"12c4365bfb2ae0a4fc30fade278d53bf","url":"http://db.tidbits.com/article/9584","title":"Getting to Know the Nabaztag Internet Rabbit","note":"Shortly after I moved to France last year, Glenn Fleishman offered to introduce me to his contacts at a company called Violet that's based here in Paris. (And thus, by the way, it's pronounced \"vee-oh-LAY.\") Violet is best known as the developer of the Nabaztag Internet-enabled rabbit, and this product sounded sufficiently wacky that I was delighted to pay its creators a visit. It turned out they're located just down the street from me, about a ten-minute walk away, and I'd unknowingly passed their offices dozens of times already. So I set up an appointment, and Morgen and I met with Rafi Haladjian (one of the Nabaztag's inventors) and Jean-François Kitten \n(yes, apparently his real name) for a personal, hands-on demo of the Wi-Fi bunny.\n \n \n \n \nThat was more than seven months ago. Ever since, I've intended to write about the Nabaztag and the philosophy behind it, but every time I've started pondering what to say, I've gotten profoundly stuck. Even now, I'm not entirely sure what to think of it. I believe I could argue with equal conviction that this device is surprisingly useful or a ridiculous waste of $165. In any case, there's certainly more to this gadget than meets the eye. Luckily (or unluckily, depending on your point of view), little appears to have changed in the Internet rabbit arena since last fall, so I believe my observations are still pertinent.\n \n \nNabaztag Basics -- First things first: how does one pronounce this strange word? I wrote it phonetically in my notes the way its designer said it - roughly, \"NAB-us-tag,\" where the stress is on the first syllable and the middle vowel is a schwa. It's the Armenian word for \"rabbit,\" and it seems to make as little sense to French-speaking people as it does in English.\n \n \nIn case you've not kept up with the news in rabbit technology over the past few years, let me give you a quick description of the Nabaztag. It's a rounded conical hunk of plastic about 9 inches (23 cm) tall (including the two protruding ears), with eyes and a nose painted on front, a belly-button microphone, and a single button on top - but no other visible user interface. You plug in the AC adapter (it doesn't work with Energizer batteries, sorry) and it connects to the nearest open Wi-Fi network. (There are provisions to use password-protected networks, too, though they require a bit of fiddling to set up.) When the bunny powers on, several multicolored LEDs glow from behind the plastic case, and the motorized ears spin around in a \nmanner that would surely be quite painful for a real rabbit.\n \n \nThen you go to a Web page to register your adopted rabbit - yes, they say \"adopt\" to mean \"buy\" - and specify a bunch of preferences and personal information such as where you live and what kinds of news and music you're interested in. From then on, your Nabaztag becomes an interactive network appliance that can do any or all of a long list of things. For example, various combinations of lights (solid or blinking, in different configurations and colors) could indicate:\n \n \nThe current or predicted weather \n \nThe status of stocks or other financial indices of interest to you \n \nThe air quality outside \n \nHow many new email messages you have in your inbox \n \nWhether someone has left you a voice message \n \nThe built-in microphone and speaker extend the list of capabilities much further. To mention just a few examples, the Nabaztag can:\n \n \nRead headlines from your favorite RSS feeds in a synthesized voice \n \nPlay Internet radio stations or podcasts \n \nAnnounce the current time periodically \n \nAct as a non-real-time intercom with another Nabaztag - press the button, record a message, and it's sent to someone else's rabbit for playback \n \nRespond to spoken commands (a recording of your voice is sent to Violet's servers, where it's run through a speech recognition algorithm and the resulting command is sent back to your Nabaztag) \n \nOh, and let's not forget the ears! Normally they spin at various times without any particular meaning. But you can configure them in arbitrary positions and send them to your friend's Nabaztag (alone or along with a voice message) - and your friend's Nabaztag's ears will assume the same positions. (For example, point both ears down to mean \"I'm sad\" or whatever.) Hey, who needs video, voice, text, or even flashing lights when we have digital semaphores! For some reason, this capability tickled me more than anything else the little bunny can do. (Oh, and if you pair your Nabaztag with someone else's to \"hard-wire\" messages like ear positions between the two rabbits, that's called marrying them. Yep. To the best of my \nknowledge, though, they only reproduce within Violet's factory.)\n \n \nLast but not least is a built-in RFID reader. The idea is that you buy special RFID tags called \"Ztamps\" to stick on your keys, glasses, and other objects. When these objects come into proximity with your Nabaztag's nose, it notices they're there and can take whatever action you want, such as playing a sound or sending a message. As far as I can tell, the Ztamps aren't yet available separately, but Violet does sell a variety of Ztamp-equipped children's books (in French only, for now). When your child holds one of these books up to the Nabaztag, the rabbit reads the book aloud. That's right: your robot rabbit can relieve you of the tedium of bonding with your kids by reading them their bedtime story. (I have yet to see a child interact \nwith a Nabaztag in person, and I'm thinking it's possibly best that way.)\n \n \nAlthough the Nabaztag comes pre-configured to deliver certain kinds of information right out of the burrow - um, box - the company expects and encourages extensive personalization and even hacking; they also offer an API for third-party developers to create their own applications and services. (Some Nabaztag services are free, by the way, while others require a paid subscription.) There's even a healthy aftermarket for replacement ears in a variety of colors and patterns.\n \n \nBy the way, I should mention that the current generation of Internet rabbit is called \"Nabaztag/tag\" - I guess that's Armenian rabbit-speak for \"rabbit 2.0\" - the original Nabaztag, which is still available for about $95, doesn't include the microphone or RFID reader, and doesn't support WPA encryption or streaming MP3 audio. The company representatives I spoke to said that future generations would be designated with additional \"/tag\" endings. Perhaps they'll come with a selection of RFID Nabaztag/tag/tag tags.\n \n \nDown the Rabbit Hole -- All right, so you can buy this groovy little bunny appliance thingy that can do a million and one things, but who really needs one? The candid answer, according to Violet's Haladjian, is no one. He'd be the first to admit, he says, that Internet rabbits aren't going to change the world, that he's not looking to build the future of his company on plastic bunnies. The Nabaztag is simply the first example of a larger idea Violet is trying to promote - that of leveraging the power of ubiquitous wireless Internet access to turn ordinary objects into smart objects. We're accustomed, he explained, to having a computer screen (or, at least, some kind of screen) mediate our experience of the \nInternet. But although computers make good all-purpose tools, there's life beyond the PC - and there are other, simpler and more direct ways to use that near-universal connectivity. So think of the Nabaztag as a rather elaborate proof of concept for a future in which lots of friendly little objects can do lots of useful things by virtue of being connected to each other and to a global source of infinite data. Violet's ambition is to connect everything in the world, and they're starting by connecting small, familiar-ish objects.\n \n \nThat word \"friendly,\" by the way, is key. As an example, Haladjian cited home automation systems, which have been around for decades, but which, he says, are still complex and intimidating enough to scare away many people. A little rabbit with funny ears and a single button, on the other hand, isn't intimidating. You interact with it in natural ways like talking to it and holding objects in front of it rather than by connecting wires and looking at a screen and typing or mousing. So it hints at a more user-friendly future of invisible computing in which much simpler objects with embedded computers replace many of the functions for which we currently rely on full-blown \ndesktop or laptop computers.\n \n \nThis idea, of course, is not unique to Violet or the Nabaztag. For example, a company called Ambient offers a number of small Internet-enabled devices, such as the $150 Ambient Orb, which glows in different colors to indicate information like traffic, weather, and stock prices; and the $124.99 Ambient Umbrella, whose handle glows when rain is expected. You can buy standalone devices to stream Internet radio, and even the Apple TV is a type of Internet appliance. (There's also the $179.95 Chumby, a little Wi-Fi-connected gadget that can serve up the time, weather, traffic, news, music, and so on - though unlike the others mentioned here, it still relies on a conventional LCD screen to display data, making it more like a keyboard-less computer than an appliance; see \"Chumby: The Beanbag Computer,\" 2007-12-14.) In any case, the Nabaztag is the only one I can think of with anthropomorphic (or, uh, kuniklomorphic) characteristics.\n \n \nThe question is why someone might find a Nabaztag (or any other such appliance) worth buying when their existing, conventional computer can do almost all the same things (though I've never seen a Mac with motorized ears). The Violet reps suggested that the Nabaztag is especially good for applications that aren't worth your full attention - for providing information in the background, perhaps even while you're focused on some other task on your computer. I think that's on the right track. I can attest that as an introvert, I'd be much less distracted by unobtrusive glowing lights on a device over on the table than by something popping up on my screen all the time, and I might even be more inclined to report my status or mood using \nrabbit-ear semaphores than typing a tweet or changing my iChat status (see \"Instant Messaging for Introverts,\" 2008-04-04).\n \n \nMultiplying Like Bunnies -- Apparently enough people have seen past the weirdness of the Nabaztag's design to make it quite a successful product. In fact, according to Violet, when the original Nabaztag was introduced in 2005, their first 5000 units sold out in 10 days, even though it was the middle of the summer and the device had been advertised only by word of mouth.\n \n \nHowever, I must confess that I am not myself a Nabaztag owner. Though I left the Violet offices fully convinced of the coolness and usefulness of the Nabaztag, it didn't meet my \"can't-live-without-it\" test, and I'm not inclined to collect toys just for their conversation value. (Plus, you know, $165 buys a lot of French pastries. Gotta have your priorities.)\n \n \nMy sense, from looking at the activity level of various blogs and forums devoted to the Nabaztag, is that the device's earlier popularity is waning. Violet has been slow to release promised improvements (such as the Ztamps, which had been scheduled for delivery last October), and I've seen no sign of the impending arrival of a Nabaztag/tag/tag. But that may be a moot point, because Violet's stated intention is not to put a Nabaztag in every home. They've got loftier goals, and for all I know, they may be well on their way to meeting them.\n \n \nAs for me, I can certainly get behind the concept of invisible computing, and I can see the value of having lots of smart objects in my home. They may even enhance my communication with others in a way that ordinary computer software never could. The Nabaztag in particular may not quite scratch my itch, but I'll be watching future developments in this area with great interest.\n \nCopyright © 2008 Joe Kissell.

Mark joined Adobe in the Fall of 1990, not long after Photoshop 1.0 was released and was instrumental in devising many of the ‘wow’ features we have all come to love and rely on daily when we work with Photoshop.\n\nMark left the Photoshop team after Photoshop 7 shipped and went to work developing a new paradigm in image processing which would finally ship as the product named Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.\n\nJeff Schewe is fond of saying about Mark, “be careful what you wish for”!\n\nFor example, around the time I first joined the Photoshop 5.0 beta a lot of Photoshop customers had requested a multiple undo. What we got was far more than that, and came in the form of the ‘History’ feature, which had the ability to take snapshots and paint from different history states.\n\nSix years ago Mark left his position as chief architect of Photoshop in order to start work on the Shadowland project (which became Lightroom) and right up until this week Mark was fine-tuning the controls for non-destructive localized editing in Lightroom. Ever since Lightroom launched, users have been asking for was a means to dodge and burn raw images, and if you have been testing the Lightroom 2.0 public beta, you will know that you can now also paint with colour, saturation and clarity, plus you have really accurate auto masking with flow and density brush controls. It’s yet another example of Mark’s programming genius and gift for innovation.\n\nOver the last ten years or so I have enjoyed taking part in the various internal discussion lists at Adobe and Mark’s direct involvement with testers like myself has always helped make it an exciting and challenging experience for all involved. What’s made it particularly rewarding for me is that Mark is someone who  understands what photographers want from their software and we could often see our thoughts and ideas evolve into finished features.\n\nI don’t think one can downplay the significance of Mark’s departure because the contribution he made to the development of Photoshop and Lightroom has certainly been enormous and it goes without saying that his presence will be missed at Adobe.\n\nOn the other hand, with Lightroom 2.0 now at public beta much of the groundwork on Lightroom has already been accomplished (especially on the non-destructive image processing side) and he leaves at a time where the Lightroom team has expanded from a team of one (Mark) to now include over fifty talented individuals who have all successfully guided Lightroom from concept to finished product.\n\nWhile Mark’s departure does leave a gap, Lightroom’s future looks set to continue when development gears up for work on version 3.0. As for what Mark is going to do next, it is known that he is now going to  Microsoft in Seattle, and that his future work there won’t involve digital imaging, but instead be focussed on the “user experience”. So remember Jeff’s advice and be careful what you wish for!\n","saved":"2008-04-25T16:14:01Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"878e63d52b55ba65ff7cb6ef132b738c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c98ae9f38261/","kind":"page"},

The one you can make sleep under the table or please with a foosball table in the center of the room. The one where the company paying for dinner pizza is awesome.\n\n\n\nI should know. I used to be that gullible and even take an odd pride in being up to the job. But it didnt take long to catch on to the idea that packing a room full of these people was merely a crutch for shoddy management, lousy execution, and myths like this is the only way we can compete against the big guys. And you certainly need the latter if youre trying to give turds wings, but how about just not trying to make crap fly in the first place?\n\n\n\nThats why I like working with the family man or woman. They come in as a cold bath of reality. When people have other obligations outside of work that they actually care more about than your probably-not-so-world-changing idea, the crutches are not available as an easy way out, and youll have to walk by the power of your good ideas and execution or youll fall fast and early. Thats a good thing!\n\n\n\nFrom the experience Ive had working with family people, Ive found an amazing ability to get stuff done when the objectives are reasonably clear, the work appears to have meaning, and if it can be done within the scope of what should constitute a work week. When there are real constraints on your time, like you have to pickup the kids or make them dinner or put them to bed, it appears to bring a serenity of focus to the specific hours dedicated to work.\n\n\n\nThis is what companies need, startups or not. They need constraints and especially constraints on how often you can play the hero card to Get This Very Important Project Done.

This is where all the excitement, the money, and the people are, they say. And that’s true to the extent that your great big idea fits the current cultural mold of that environment.\n\n\n\nIf you’re looking to build the next web 2.0 social media eyeball-collecting application, don’t want to worry about boring details like revenues, and hope to either flip to Google for an early $20 million or get that Facebook billion-dollar valuation, the Bay area is exactly where you want to be. No where else do you have the connections, the people, and the atmosphere available to make that dream happen.\n\n\n\nBut this strain of startups is a highly inbred line that holds more risks than most people realize. It’s not that they never work financially, enough people are sipping Margaritas on sunny beaches from towering buyouts to prove the contrary. And it’s not that they don’t work socially — I personally enjoy YouTube as much as the next guy. It’s that the Bay area pipeline for building web businesses isn’t optimized to carry much else than these stereotypes.Other people’s money\nIf your idea for a web business is more along the lines of the mundane “product * price = profit” (3P) variety, I think the culture of San Francisco and that famous 20-mile radius around Stanford is anything but helpful. I might even go as far as say it’s downright harmful.\n\n\n\nThe flush availability of other people’s money is simply too tempting. When you’re not spending your own money, it’s easy to splash on a big open office on day one, a staff of 10+ in no time, and have few worries about paying the bills on the 1st of the month. It takes away much of the urgency to make money that I think is critical to build sustainable businesses. It gives you too many resources to be satisfied building simple tools for niche markets. Everything becomes about catching that huge wave.\n\n\n\nFighting for talent\nAnd besides the simple temptation of having a few million dollars in the bank account — even though they’re not really yours and probably never will be — it breeds an asset bubble for everything else. When tons of half-baked startups out there have a million-dollar bank roll, they’re going to be looking pretty sharp when shopping for talent.\n\n\n\nIf you’re a programmer or designer working in this area, you probably have more than a few friends or acquaintances who got filthy rich simply being on the ground floor of Google or YouTube or some other company that either made them a millionaire through acquisition or IPO. Are you really going to be interested working for a company that simply aims to make a few measly millions for the first couple of years? Why settle for something that’ll take 5, 7, 10 years to mature when you can instead just hop from company to company every 6-18 months in search of that lottery ticket.\n\n\n\nSo while there is undoubtedly legions of good people available, you’re unlikely to be able to hire or retain them in an environment where every business magazine cover of is telling people that the next billionaire is even younger than the previous. No wonder people feel stressed out to make it huge before they’re 30 and will jump at any opportunity that looks like this might be it.\n\n\n\nBut where else?\nIf San Francisco, the Bay area, and Sillicon Valley aren’t good places to start a web business of the 3P variety, where is? Well, I’d say just about any place but. Basecamp came from Chicago/Copenhagen, FogBugz from New York, Campaign Monitor from Australia, Shopify from Ottawa, Freshbooks from Toronto, Blinksale from Texas, and there are tons of other applications of the same ilk that come from all over the world.\n\n\n\nSo stop worrying to much about where you are and start worrying about how you’re going to make your business succeed the old fashion way: Through having a better product than the competition that people are willing to pay for.\n\n\n\nP.S.: None of this means that it’s impossible to build a web business in San Francisco that makes money by selling a product. There are plenty of examples of that too. Like TypePad or FaxItNice. This is an argument that the area is overrated as a great place for starting a company.\n\n  \n","saved":"2008-04-22T16:23:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2c713f9e82a2e2b779d131db56c5dc95","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/58509442b87d/","kind":"page"},

Its Not Startups.","note":"Amazon loves to talk about its Web Services because it positions the company as a bold innovator bringing cloud computing to the unwashed masses and other companies still stuck in the land of legacy data centers.  But it is coy when it comes to details about the actual business behind Amazon Web Services, which includes its S3 storage service, EC2 compute cloud, and SimpleDB online database.    During its fourth-quarter earnings call, Amazon offered up the tidbit that Amazon Web Services (AWS) now uses up more bandwidth than Amazon.com proper, but not much else.  You could infer, however, that the business is not yet very large, accounting for less than $131 million of Amazons $5.7 billion in revenues that quarter.  The revenues may be small, but they are no doubt growing very quickly.  So who are using these services?  A high-ranking Amazon executive told me there are 60,000 different customers across the various Amazon Web Services, and most of them are not the startups that are normally associated with on-demand computing.  Rather the biggest customers in both number and amount of computing resources consumed are divisions of banks, pharmaceuticals companies and other large corporations who try AWS once for a temporary project, and then get hooked.    That surprised me.  These are the types of customers you wouldnt expect to see running their data through a hosted service.  But apparently the cost advantage of paying by the drink versus buying new hardware and staffing up to do a random data run is convincing them to trust more of their data with Amazon.  It goes without saying that these are the types of companies who demand the highest security for their data.  Banks and drug companies.  And they have a lot of data to crunch.  You just hear more about the startups because many are increasingly putting their entire businesses on Amazon, and the economics of cloud computing really levels the playing field for them. They also tend to be more open about their data practices.  But cloud computing is already going much deeper than the startup world, and gaining adherents in big IT organizations.

He was very open to sharing and I think he probably went over the time limit he was getting compensated for.\n\n-He has just finished a 10 week base period and is moving into harder stuff ahead of Wildflower (can we get some live ST coverage of Wildflower? Come on slowman!). The other 2 focus races he mentioned were Ironman Germany and obviously Kona.\n\n-Speaking about his bike vs run he really went into detail about why he has backed off on the bike at Kona after winning other Ironmans off the front. For Kona he said he figured out that he needed to stay under 155 hear rate till right about 4 hours and then allowing it to rise modestly heading back into town.\n\n-Bike setup: He mentioned that for him Ironman is all about comfort. He specifically mentioned Tjorborn and Chris Lieto as guys whose plan is to ride hard and hold on for the marathon (“you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out their plan”). The questioner asked him specifically about why he was so relaxed and unsteep (ST steep crew where u at?) - Macca mentioned that coming from short course (along with Crowie) that he had moved from a more relaxed setup to his current one that is not as steep as the Normans or Bjorns of the world but allows him to run fast.\n\n\n\n-About Bjorn – he said that Bjorn has “beautiful bike splits” in his aggressive position but then has “horrendous marathon splits” so what Macca has decided is to position himself in a way that allows for optimal running (by the way, this is exactly what Greg Bennett told me at Chicago Tri last year, interesting for me to hear two very opposite athletes that are considered “run specialists” at different distances offer the same critique - video interview with Bennett over at www.youtube.com/iwilltri )\n\n-He mentioned the ability of him and Tjorborn and current guys to go to the lab and get tested. For Macca it was water, weight, and sweat rate. For Tjorborn it was the heat issue. He mentioned that for everyone it is different strengths and weaknesses and since he is a biger athlete he’d ever be able to win off the front at Kona cause he would not be able to run well (he said at the beginning of his Kona experiences he couldn’t even put together a measly three hour marathon cause he had ridden too hard). He mentioned Crowie “not even wearing an aero helmet” and how each has to play to his strengths.\n\n-As the heaviest triathlete to win Kona (80kilos), he mentioned that he loses a lot of water during the race (one reason why Mark Allen counseled him to train up in Boulder - to “become a camel”) and on the nutritional side will take 440 calories (I was surprised by the 440 exact # but Macca is VERY number based/analytical) for first three hours of bike and then reduce to 350 calories and less as race progresses.\n\n-Caffeine: Peter Reid got him on coffee (“I had never had a cup of coffee before coming to America mate”). He says he will drink tons of coffee, then quit cold turkey for 3-4 weeks before Ironman, and then take the double caffeinated clif shots (I guess Clif makes him a special blend) that really give him a boost. He has a Red Bull at run special needs which gives him an extra boost.\n\n-Mental Toughness: he talked a lot about Mark Allen helping him in this area – I wish I had taken more notes but I stopped writing and just listened – this is heavy stuff where the boys and the men get weeded out, if you have read/listened to MA you know he is big on it and Macca spent a good deal of time on this… “when I was coming out of transition in ‘07 running 5:30s people were yelling and saying I was going too fast, and that is when I remember what MA had told me – you can’t doubt yourself, you have to press on. I had worked for this moment, it was my moment and I was not going to second guess myself.”\n\nHe talked about seeing Crowie give him a wave (I am guessing at the turn around?) and how he didn’t wave back because he didn’t want to give any energy away – this is something that MA has talked about in the past and I think Peter Reid too. “It was my moment, I kept telling myself don’t screw this up, you have to finish.”\nSorry I don’t have more notes about this but it was pretty inspiring and insightful to listen to him replay his Kona mental moments.\n\n-Macca seemed to be so aware of everything around him during the race - he mentioned knowing how guys would ride, how they could run (he thought Lieto was running a very smart marathon) . Crowie ran 1:30 into him at the end but that was when Macca knew he’d win and had started to celebrate.\n\n-Ironman pain: he went off for a while about embracing Ironman pain, the dark moments we all go through – he said that MA helped him to embrace that. That you need to mentally embrace the pain and realize it will pass and then will probably come back but that is part of racing. Once again I wish I had more notes but I was paying attention and not writing…\n\nOverall I was impressed again with the studious, humble, open, and transparent he was. I have interviewed a few pros now and they obviously all need some level of “I want to be 1st” to survive” – so before the Macca haters get on here and tear me apart I just want to say that yes he can be cocky and we all know that too (he admits to it) - but his passion for triathlon is very infectious (listen to the full ironmantalk podcast at Roth last year!) and he is quite the student of the sport.\n\nHe is a very good ambassador for our sport in the same vein as Greg Bennett and Michellie Jones.\n","saved":"2008-04-18T14:49:57Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"9c915dda3171d1dedade274428cdc898","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e9ee40798225/","kind":"page"},

Now, internet and organic root-beer lover Colin Sproule has come up with a great way for Mac users to get an iTunes-style Coverflow preview of playlists on the site.  \n\nThe improvement in user experience for this already fantastic app is remarkable.  Check out the how-to video embedded below.  It's also a great example of several brand new apps all put to use together.\n\n\n\nSproule demonstrates how he used the deceptively \"site specific browser\" Fluid to make what's almost a Rich Internet App on the desktop, dedicated here to Muxtape, and then pull in the CSS of Muxtape previews and turn on Coverflow.  The end result is super hot.  Notice also the great screencast production technology, Sproule uses the popular new screencasting tool Screenflow.  Here's a screenshot , below that is the video about how you can put this on your Mac in minutes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can also skip the Fluid part and just download the completed \"app\" from Tom Martin's blog.  You'll still have to make the CSS edit yourself, though.\n\n\nIf you've wondered why you'd use Fluid to make a standalone browser for a single web site, this is a great example.  Following Sproule's instructions was remarkably easy, it took me less than five minutes and added a wrinkle to my internet experience that I expect to use regularly.  \n\n\nI struggled for awhile until I realized that my Mac needed a software update and that solved the problem of previews not appearing right away.  For some reason still, a couple of the pages aren't fully previewing - but this is a much better experience than the standard Muxtape black box.\n\n\nThis really inspires me to try some more things out with Fluid, including perhaps a standalone FriendFeed browser - since the newly released AlertThingy really aint doing it for me. Update: While walking my dog and listening to Newsgang talk about politics and Twitter, I realized that to be honest it was through AlertThingy that I saw a Growl popup about Engtech Digging Sproule's post about this.  Sometimes I drown in a soup of input and forget exactly where I first find things.  I apologize for that.\n\n\nThe Coverflow feature combined with Muxtape is really great though.","saved":"2008-04-18T03:05:13Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"44960366eaa94e90d8dd2a0a2f814928","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/26fcb2a32cbe/","kind":"page"},

One of the biggest challenges may have been eliminated, however, by the recent release of a new service called MyOpenID for Domains.\n\n\nThe service makes it remarkably easy for anyone to create OpenID accounts through their own domain, using the MyOpenID authentication service.  \n\n\nFor example, my new OpenID is http://openid.marshallk.com/marshallk, based on my personal site marshallk.com.  It was really easy to set up and now I can offer other users of my site their own marshallk.com OpenID as well. (Hi Mom!)\n\n\nHow It's Done\n\nMyOpenID for Domains lets you set up OpenIDs in one of two formats:  Wildcard subdomains like member.yourdomain.com or as a single subdomain + path like openid.yourdomain.com/member.\n\n\n\n\nI chose the single subdomain plus member path because I want to be able to use other subdomains for other purposes.  \n\n\nIt's really easy to set up either path.  For my WordPress blog I just filled out the form below, then I had to call my webhost (Bluehost - great customer service, terrible uptime) and ask them to make a small edit to my DNS record.  I gave them this information:\n\n\nName: openid.marshallk.com\nType: CNAME\nValue: www.myopenid.com \n\n\nThey made the change needed, basically setting up a redirect, in less than 5 minutes.  Other hosts will let you edit your own DNS info.  I then posted a page on my blog with a particular URL and a short code for MyOpenID to detect.  That's it - I was done.  Now I can use my own domain name as an OpenID.  The next step was to make sure that my user identity page was looking spiffy.\n\n\nIf MyOpenID ever closes its doors, it will be easy for me to edit my DNS record back and keep my OpenID URL from becoming a 404 out of my control.  I'll also now be able to verify that I am in fact the owner of marshallk.com.\n\n\nLimitations of the Service\n\nThis is the easiest way I've found to use my own domain name as an OpenID.  There are other ways to do it but they've always given me far more trouble than they should.  This service from MyOpenID is also an easy way to offer and administer OpenID accounts to other users of a particular website.\n\n\nMyOpenID is a good OpenID provider.  MyOpenID for Domains does require that you use their service in particular, however.  There are many different OpenID providers offering many different advanced features.  Check out SpreadOpenID.org for a comparison of many different providers.\n\n\nAs you can see below, my MyOpenID profile is now tied to my domain.  All I need now is the ability to put HTML links in my summary info, display recent items in an RSS feed of my choice on this page and some other customization options.  Then I'll be doing great.\n\n\nWatch this space for more forthcoming news on big increases in OpenID usability.","saved":"2008-04-17T20:56:49Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"c5db697ea6f206cce4640c4c5e160c0f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a54534ba6300/","kind":"page"},

This tool grew out of our need to keep track of what people are doing right now, plus the last few things people have completed.\n\n\n\nWe used to do this in Campfire. At the beginning of every day people would check [in] with a list of things they wanted to do. At the end of the day they’d check [out] with a list of things they actually did. It was a good way to see what people had planned for the day, and what actually happened that day.\n\n\n\nTwice a day updates weren’t enough\n\nBut once in the morning and once at the end of the day wasn’t really enough information to know what people were working on right now. So we often asked “Matt, what are you working on?” or “Sam, what’s keeping you busy right now?” We knew there had to be a better way. Interrupting people just to find out what they were doing was counterproductive.\n\n\n\nIn/Out was born\n\nSo we built a little tool in a couple days called In/Out. In/Out let everyone set their current status (“Working on the Affiliate Program” or “Preparing for my presentation on Friday”), plus In/Out allowed you to make journal entries for the things you’ve finished (“Updated book proposal” or “Modernized list reordering” or “Deployed Backpack calendar reminders”). People were encouraged to be as specific as they wanted to be.\n\n\n\nOne screen, left and right\n\nYour stuff was on the left and everyone else’s stuff was on the right. It was a one-screen app with everything right in front of you. It was killer. We quickly got a handle on who was busy on this and who finished that.\n\n\n\nHere’s what it looks like:\n\n\n\nOther people would find this useful, yeah?\n\nWe had been thinking of releasing In/Out as its own product, but it would require a fair bit of work which we knew we’d never get around to. We’d have to build a site, allow people to sign up, and deal with all the other stuff that comes with launching a brand new product. We knew In/Out had a lot of value, but we just had more valuable things to spend our time on right now.\n\n\n\nComing to a Backpack near you?\n\nOver the past few days we’ve been working on adding the In/Out concept to Backpack. It seems like a good fit since relaunching Backpack as more of an intranet and workgroup tool.\n\n\n\nSo we’ve retired In/Out internally at 37signals and are now using the version we built into Backpack. It’s not public yet — we’re going to use it for the next few days and see how it feels. If we think it’s a good fit we’ll likely launch it publicly as part of Backpack sometime in the next few weeks.\n\n\n\nStay tuned.\n\n  \n","saved":"2008-04-17T19:16:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"9d7bd176a364a0d75a5ff415a983d522","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/135199da92f9/","kind":"page"},

It’s particularly timely because there are a number of attacks going around that impact older WordPress blogs that haven’t been updated to to the most recent version.\n\n\nIn my customer support for MarsEdit, I have been seeing these security problems pop up quite a bit lately. The so-called “spam injection” attacks often inject spam links at the oblivious expense of how these links might mess up the XMLRPC interface which blog clients such as MarsEdit use to interact with your blog. It’s gotten to the point where error messages from the blog such as “Parse error. Not well formed.” are almost certain to be symptoms of such a spam injection attack. Updating to the latest WordPress almost always fixes the problem immediately.\n\n\n\nMatt’s advice is pretty basic: update to the latest WordPress, and check your posts for signs of tampering. But it’s nice to have advice “from the top,” so to speak. I will be glad to see this wave of blog-attacks pass us by as more and more users get updated to the latest release of WordPress.\n\n\n\nI commented on the post, suggesting that what WordPress would really benefit from is some kind of automated updater, so that users can easily update without having to worry about whether they’re doing it right or whether they’ll mess up their blog. The great news is Matt replied saying that they are in fact working on such a feature for 2.6.\n\n\n\nLooking forward to a built-in automatic updater for WordPress! But in the mean time, be sure to stay current so you avoid the nasty attacks that are going around.\n","saved":"2008-04-14T19:01:06Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"5bc220a2c0e485f3fec41745bda05b0e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/126fc4bf79a0/","kind":"page"},

My father sold $1.98 cotton blouses to blue-collar women and women whose husbands worked in factories. Years later, I was secretary of labor of the United States, and I tried the best I could  which wasnt nearly good enough  to help reverse one of the most troublesome trends America has faced: The stagnation of middle-class wages and the expansion of povety.

Where did the money go? To the top.\n  Are Americans who have been left behind frustrated? Of course. And their frustrations, their anger and, yes, sometimes their bitterness, have been used since then -- by demagogues, by nationalists and xenophobes, by radical conservatives, by political nuts and fanatical fruitcakes  to blame immigrants and foreign traders, to blame blacks and the poor, to blame \"liberal elites,\" to blame anyone and anything.\n  Rather than counter all this, the American media have wallowed in it. Some, like Fox News and talk radio, have given the haters and blamers their very own megaphones. The rest have merely \"reported on\" it. Instead of focusing on how to get Americans good jobs again; instead of admitting too many of our schools are failing and our kids are falling behind their contemporaries in Europe, Japan, and even China; instead of showing why we need a more progressive tax system to finance better schools and access to health care, and green technologies that might create new manufacturing jobs, our national discussion has been mired in the old politics. \n  Read the whole post -- it's a Jon-Stewart-on-Crossfire moment that should be on television, not just Reich's blog.","saved":"2008-04-14T18:07:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"afd159491ee6b2ea8c96362eae81dcae","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f9d8beca6960/","kind":"page"},

I now use it to communicate with my colleagues and reduce the amount of telephone we play when information is incorrectly transmitted. I use it to collect pictures, manage a to do list, store files and documents for easy access anywhere anytime. I used it to collect ideas, information, slides and random thoughts as I prepared a talk I gave at a conference last week. Best of all, it is not only powerful but it is easy to use. In fact, it is the first time I pushed my colleagues toward a new technology that they did not initially curse me about. \n\nThe problem is- while Backpacks pages are fully accessible from an iPhone or iPod Touch they are a bit too difficult to manipulate easily.\n\n\nFortunately, some incredibly smart folks have created some amazing add-ons that make Backpack one of the most iPhone-friendly and powerful applications around.\n\n\nJustin Michael at violetpixel.com as created iBackpack. iBackpack is code that optimizes Backpack pages for viewing and use on an iPhone.  He has posted screen caps on his site that show the difference...\n\n\nJustins code make each page easily accessible, fully readable. It makes adding, editing and changing the information on a page a breeze. It makes Backpack one of, if not the, best iPhone organizational tools around.\n\n\nBut that left an additional issue. Once I optimized my pages using iBackpack I created direct links to some of my most-used Backpack pages on my home screen. They work great but look downright ugly. \n\n\nLuckily Grettir Asmundarson at tinypineapple.com created a lovely little iPhone icon and has shared it with anyone who wants it. \n\n\n\n\n\nNow Backpack works great AND looks great on my iPhone. It has become my most important organizational application in a short period of time and I have no doubt that will only increase as 37signals and other creative folks find new and powerful uses for it. \n\n\nHow do you add that custom Backpack icon to your iPhone home screen? Grettir offers step-by-step instructions at the Backpack Forum.\nIts not the most elegant solution, but it will do for now\n\n(Note: If your iPhone typing skills are anything like mine, steps 1 and 2 may be easier to do on your computer.)\n\n\n1. Go to your Backpack Home Page.\n\n\n2. Add a divider anywhere on the page. When youre prompted for a name for the divider, enter the following:\n\n\n\n&lt;link rel=\"apple-touch-icon\" href=\"http://www.tinypineapple.com/backpack/images/apple-touch-icon.png\" /&gt;\n\n\n3. Go to your Backpack Home Page on your iPhone.\n\n\n4. Tap the plus (+) button at the bottom of the iPhone screen and choose Add to Home Screen.\n\n\n5. Name the new Web Clip Backpack.  (The generic icon on the left will be replaced by the new icon after a few seconds delay.)\n\n\n6. Tap Add in the upper right-hand corner and your new custom Backpack icon should appear on your Home Screen.\n\n\nWhen youre done you can remove the divider you added in Step 1.  The icon will stick around until you delete the Web Clip from the Home Screen.\n\n\nThanks Grettir!","saved":"2008-04-14T15:09:23Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"bb44ca4f0a1033d25fb1e3aa3ac1ff2a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7b5c13aeec67/","kind":"page"},

Set Caffeine for 15 minutes and forget about it.\n\nWe covered Jolt a while back, and this feature was available... for a small, $5 fee (of course, it's worth mentioning that half of those five dollars are donated to charity). But Caffeine has caught up and it remains free.

The Rails repository now lives at rails/rails and you can check it out with:\n\n\n\ngit clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git\n\n\nIf you dont have git, or dont enjoy running it on your platform, you need not fear. Weve set up an automated task to produce a zip file of Rails Edge thatll be kept up to date all the time: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/archives/rails_edge.zip. This is also what weve made the new rake rails:freeze:edge use.\n\n\n\nThis also means that development on the Subversion repository has stopped and will no longer be kept up to date. Well keep the Subversion repository around for some time for people to transition off svn:externals, though. But if you want the latest edge, youll have to use either git or the new zip files.\n\n\n\nWell also soon go live with our new ticket management system, which will be running on a new version of Lighthouse. When that happens, the Trac installation will follow the Subversion repository into legacy. Well still keep it around so we can work through all the patches and tickets that are there, but everything new will happen on the Lighthouse setup.\n\n\n\nWe hope youll enjoy this upgrade to the Rails collaboration infrastructure. Were really looking forward to the onslaught of marvelous patches that the Git lords have promised us will flow from the mountain now.","saved":"2008-04-11T14:45:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"502a094246efb3986f05cbefe2fbd38b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5acae77563d9/","kind":"page"},

But hes much deeper than that. Gary is an incredibly shrewd businessman with and innovative and intuitive business mind. Gary understand the next generation of promotion as well as anyone Ive ever seen.\n\n\n\nHes a master of the things that really matter now.\n\n\n\n1. A master of the product he sells. He understands everything there is to understand about his product. He knows the business, the process, the flavors, the appeal inside and out. Hes immune to dogma  he has his own opinions about his product and his industry.\n\n\n\n2. A master of PR. Without a PR firm hes been on Conan, Ellen, and Nightline. His video reviews are watched by over 60,000 people a day. A good portion of those people dont give a damn about wine either. Theyre there to see Gary go. Hes talked about at wine conferences, tech conferences, print media, new media, everywhere. This is not an accident.\n\n\n\n3. Hes a master of community. His wine reviews routinely get well over 100 comments. Some topping 300. His obsessed fans, affectionately branded the Vayniacs, are as passionate as he is. Through link ups, Facebook friending, and relentless Twittering, he gives them the fuel, attention, and love they need to keep the fire burning. And he reminds them that he appreciates every moment of it.\n\n\n\n4. Hes a master of his own brand. He endlessly promotes Wine Library, his familys wine shop, and his own brand on camera, off camera, and through merchandising. He genuinely believes you can help people by being true to yourself. When you think of Gary you think of authentic passion. Is there a better quality for any brand? Heres some more great advice from Gary at Strategic Profits Live.\n\n\n\n5. Hes a sharer. Gary shares all day long. He understand that when you share you get back more in return. But fundamentally hes not really sharing to get back, hes sharing because he loves to give. He loves giving his opinion on wine, business, life, etc. He wants other people to be successful.\n\n\n\nOn top of all this, Gary is just one hell of a nice guy. Ive recently gotten to know him and the one thing that really stands out  besides his ridiculous energy  is his generosity and overall desire to see others do well. Tara Hunts interview is a great example of this. I look forward to learning a lot from Gary. I hope you do too.","saved":"2008-04-09T17:05:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"38ea721bab7d2a6685725bbf4f50a535","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/465c642b61ec/","kind":"page"},

I normally don't mind so much, as they always come through on yet another cool Mac product. If I could know one thing though, it wouldn't be when the next Macbook Pro is coming out, or when we will see the 3G iPhone. Instead, I wish I knew the attentions in the battle of \"what can we develop with on the iPhone\".\n\nWe started out with only being able to use JavaScript, and folks like Joe Hewitt quickly mastered the restrictive tools such as meta viewport and co.\n\nThen we got the final word of the iPhone SDK, and the Cocoa developers rejoiced as they went from being the cool kids to the \"now you will pay me to help in the land grab yO\".\n\nThere was one shoutout to the WebKit lovers. We got ongesture* events.\n\nNow we got a glimpse of new updates for the iPhone Ajaxians:\n\nSafari 3.1 showed us CSS transforms, which are 2D. On the iPhone though, we can now do 3D transforms which means you can do true coverflow through the browser.\n\nThe other new thing I found are new touch screen events.  We already knew about the ongesture* events, but now there are ontouch* events, and new DOM interfaces Touch, TouchList, and TouchEvent.\n\nThis is great progress. \n\nThe optimist in me thinks: Wow, WebKit is going to be a first class citizen and Apple will continue to open up more and more of the innards as JavaScript APIs. \n\nThe cynic in me thinks: Yeah, they will support it, kinda like how Java is supported on the Mac. One poor bugger has to do all of the work and make people care. In this case, when Apple starts making 30% on all of the native applications, what will their incentive be to help people develop apps using the Web?\n\nThe hope is that they realize that the Web is the long term winner, and that they want to win in that market too.

If you haven't used one before, a screener is an advanced search tool that lets you find companies which match a set of criteria. For example, you could search for large companies with a PE ratio less than 20 which pay at least a 5% dividend. Or you could screen for small tech companies with strong 5 year growth. It's entirely up to your investment strategy.There are a number of new and cool features I'd like to mention. Anytime you make adjustments like setting a value, removing a criteria, or limiting the search to a single exchange, the list of results updates automatically. The search is completely live -- no buttons to press. We also have blue and white histograms so you can see the distribution of all companies for a particular value--for example there are far more companies with a market cap below one billion dollars than above. You can either grab the sliders or type exact values to the set the minimum and maximum for each criteria.Once you have run a screen that you like, you can bookmark the page or email the link to a friend. Since not all of the criteria may be familiar terms, we've included definitions in the Add Criteria wizard, as well as a help icon next to each line. As always, please let us know how you like it. We're hard at work on new features and want to incorporate your suggestions. Happy screening!","saved":"2008-04-02T14:16:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"207b4d0d170244e5468a02da7ffc36e6","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5702355f1168/","kind":"page"},

To use the service, customers text the name of a product, its description, or its UPC or ISBN number to Amazon (262966). If Amazon stocks the item, the user will get the first two results sent to them. To purchase am item, users reply with 1 or 2 and are prompted for their email address and zip code. The service then calls the user and completes the checkout process using an automated voice system. Like regular Amazon orders, users can later track the item from Amazon.com.  The service is free to use, however items that are available as Deal of the Day or have a Gold Box Discount will not be discounted when purchased through Amazon TextBuyIt.  The obvious application for the service is price comparisons from within a physical store; customers in Borders for example could SMS a book title to see whether Amazon stocks it for less.

The product seemingly solves the problem of auto-categorization and tagging of photos, something that seems to still be beyond the processing power and software skills of most startups.  Users upload photos - thousands of them if they like - and within a few minutes the photos are returned with stunningly accurate descriptive keywords that facilitate searching and browsing later on. The product worked so well, and the site had so little description of the technology behind it, that I speculated that humans were doing the work in the background.  And.I was right. A reader sent in a tip that they saw the service on Amazons Mechanical Turk service, which is a web service that gets people to do things that are fairly hard for computers to do. TagCow is actually a perfect fit for Mechanical Turk.  Users are paid 4 cents to properly tag a group of five photos. I tagged a few photos with TechCrunch twenty times each, collected my 4 cents, and moved on. My guess is it would take about two minutes to properly tag the five photos. That means if you work steady and without breaks, you can make $1.20/hour. More if you are speedier.

I bet Ive got one heck-of-a surprise for you today. Ready for it? Adobe has released Lightroom 2.0 beta to the public (no, this is not a belated April fools day joke). Today kicks off Photoshop World and not only is Adobe going to demo the 2.0 beta but theyre letting everyone have it and download it for free. The first question everyones going to be asking is whats it all about. Ive included my top 10 favorite features in 2.0 right here. However, NAPP has an entire learning center website all set up with videos (by Scott Kelby and myself) on all the new features. Ill give you the links at the end of the post.\n\nFirst, the top 10 list1) Localized Corrections (AKA: Dodge and Burn) - If Lightroom 2 came out and this was the only new feature Id upgrade in a heartbeat. Localized Corrections is the non-destructive dodging and burning that weve all wanted for so long. But I have to say this - its so much more. It goes WAY beyond what I expected from dodging and burning in Lightroom (which is why its called Localize corrections and not just dodge and burn) and I think youre going to love it.\n2) Better Photoshop Integration - Now you can open your files as Smart Objects, Merge to Panorama or even export straight to Photoshops HDR from Lightroom.\n3) Post-crop vignetting - if youve ever tried to darken the edges of a cropped photo with the lens vignetting slider youll know it doesnt really work. Thats where the post-crop vignette comes in.\n4) Multiple Monitor support - can you say Finally!?\n5) Picture Packages in the print module.\n6) Output Sharpening in the print module and it really works this time around. Ive seen tests compared to Lightroom 1 and the print sharpening is noticeably better.\n7) Smart Collections - Collections were great in LR 1 but smart collections make using collections a lot easier.\n8.) Printing directly to a JPEG file in the Print module. So if you send your photos off to a lab now you can save the files right from within Lightrooms Print module.\n9) Suggested Keywords - Get this Lightroom will start suggesting keywords to you once you start keywording your photos. Its weird to explain so make sure you stop by NAPPs learning center to see it in action.\n10) OK, Im going to give you two here. First theres a new filter panel in the Library module that makes getting to your photos easier and faster because its right there with your photos (instead of tucked away on the left side panels). Next, the Slideshow and Web modules both have Content panels as well as Collection panels. So now you can very quickly switch slideshows without having to jump back to the Library module and choose different photos. \n\nNow for the links to find out moreI know I promised some links so here they are:\n- Download Lightroom 2 beta here\n- NAPPs online learning center\n- John Nacks Blog\n- Scott Kelbys blog\n\nKelby Training Online Training Course\nIf youre already a Kelby Training subscriber then you can also check out my Lightroom 2.0 beta Power Session. It covers all the new features in Lightroom 2 beta and you have access to it immediately as a subscriber.\n\nAs you can imagine, with Photoshop World this week and Lightroom 2 beta launching things are pretty crazy and sure to get crazier. Ill have a lot more news, tips and tutorials as the weeks go on so make sure you stay tuned. Thanks for stopping by and thanks so much to all of the Photoshop World attendees whove already came by and introduced themselves. Take care!","saved":"2008-04-02T05:24:40Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"57045564c3baa236d1b789016359a548","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ad9fd187a3ff/","kind":"page"},

I commented there and had no his post would spawn ironically a fully de-centralized conversation on the topic ranging from his blog, Twitter, FriendFeed and a number of other blogs.\n\nMy view before getting to the solution, we must get back to purpose of blogging or participating in social media in any way.  Is it to become a destination yourself?  Or is it, as Gary Vaynerchuk likes to say, to “execute on being you” and building your personal legacy.  I’ve always thought of it in terms of the latter, to participate and being part of the conversation, but never the ultimate destination.  We must put ourselves in the role of the consumer, centralizing them to go hundreds of locations to consume content.  This is why RSS is so popular to distribute the content and why aggregation is so dominant to bring it back together for them.\n\nWhich brings me to my next point?  Loic stressed centralization as the solution but one of his primary reasons is because the conversation is happening in all facets of his social media life and he cannot keep track of it.  My hypothesis to solving this is not that each blogger become a content destination at their blog but rather a solution must developed to solve that problem.  Perhaps FriendFeed and Disqus are two early solutions attacking this problem; the space certainly needs to evolve further.  Brad Feld discusses the notification solution proposed by Josh Kopelman which I found very provactive.\n\nI tent to agree where this discussion is heading.  I want to be social media involved in a number of places, not have everyone come one place to get it.  However, I DO want to manage it all in one place.  I would love a “notification dashboard” that is perhaps built upon web services against all the APIs available.  I’m imagining a social media Bloomberg of sorts but fully interactive.  Here are some of the things such a dashboard could do for me:\n\n\nTell me when I being replied to in any venue?\nProvide me an aggregated bio or links to information on who is “friending” me.\nNotify me when a friend or someone I often have discussions is actively taking part in a conversation, where and in context\nLet me reply back to conversation directly from my dashboard but in context like Disqus\nUse attention data to provide me a priority on what I should look at first versus the less important\nUse semantic techniques to provide me with relevant content and similar conversations\nUse sentiment on the conversations so I have knowledge about where there is agreement or disagreement in the conversations\nA method to “educate” or send things to my dashboard when I stumble upon something interesting so I can have things waiting in a queue for me\n\nAnyone interested in building this, let me know.  Should be simple. Just a merging of all of the latest technology trends into one central application.     But let me manage centrally but participate everywhere.\n\n","saved":"2008-03-31T10:39:45Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e2bacd763358d38676564c57835ea773","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/223c86e423e5/","kind":"page"},

On Thursday I got an email from a company called Tagcow.  Tagcow claims that they can automatically tag thousands of photos for you.  They are using the Flickr API and are set up so that you can either upload photos to their own site or link your Flickr account up to their site where both descriptive and people tags can be added to your photos.Tagcow has some demo videos on their service here.I tested the site out yesterday using my avatar and uploaded the photo to their site.  The photo was tagged with man, Canon, camera and mirror.  Very accurate descriptive tags of the photo.   So I decided to take the Flickr plunge yesterday and linked my flickrstream up to their site via the Flickr API authentication and have started to see tags coming back on my flickr photos.Take the photo above.  I tagged the above photo myself with the following tags:  How Berkeley Can You Be Parade, How Berkeley Can You Be Parade 2007, How Berkeley Can You Be 2007, parade, car, art car, art, and Disney.Tagcow added four additional tags to the photo above:  figure, witch, wicked, and toy.Ok, those are *excellent* additional tags to add to that photo.Now I have no idea if Tagcow is using some sort of Riya-like photo recognition software or if they simply have a bunch of people manually tagging away my Flickr photos in the background, but either way this seems really, really cool.I'm not sure on the economics or business model of Tagcow but the application for a site like this in terms of image search seems pretty huge.I'll blog more on Tagcow after I understand a little more about how their technology works.  This definitely may be a company worth watching.Update:  More from TechCrunch here.More from Incremental Blogger here.","saved":"2008-03-30T01:22:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"05a05477942c1ce6dda1a67d6d3a9907","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a6ca2d104969/","kind":"page"},

He’s doing a great service to a variety of communities, and I particularly enjoy the MacBreak Weekly show, which features regulars such as Merlin Mann and Andy Ihnatko. The typical show includes a light-hearted roundup of the week’s (sometimes scarce) Mac news, and some regular features such as a weekly “picks” where show panelists are invited to share a Mac application or other product which they’ve found particularly valuable.\n\n\nI have been very fortunate to have my own products picked by panelists on the show, and even by Leo himself! It’s a great honor to hear your own name spoken through those tiny earbuds, as you’re listening to the podcast. I was also flattered to recently hear Leo quote my twitter feedback to him about the excellent FLOSS Weekly.\n\n\n\nOn this week’s MacBreak Weekly, Leo chose for his pick an application called  Pukka, which is a Del.Icio.Us client developed by my  friend Justin Miller of Code Sorcery Workshop. Congratulations, Justin! Leo made a great case for the usefulness of the application, describing how it makes adding web pages to Del.Icio.Us so easy and pleasant, even celebrating the cute smooching kiss sound it makes after it does its job.\n\n\n\nBut what I found most interesting and, as a software developer, somewhat disappointing, was the way in which Leo seemed embarrassed by the fact that the application is not free. After explaining how cool it was, he hastens to add that he doesn’t know if it’s worth $14.95. “It doesn’t do much, I just love it!” He  summarizes the joy it gives him by declaring “Pukka is simple. It just does what it does.” But later, when repeating the price and contact information, he hastens to inject that it “should be free.”\n\n\nNow this is particularly interesting, and I don’t mean to pick on Leo, but it’s a topic worth thinking about. The majority of the show up to this point had been spent chatting with Patrick Wilson of the band Weezer, about his take on technology and, among other things, the business model for selling music to the public. During the chat, the entire MacBreak Weekly crew discussed the danger to the music industry that comes from younger listeners having a built-in expectation that music should be free.\n\n\nLeo Laporte is one of the most supportive advocates for independent software developers that I have had the pleasure of (virtually) meeting. But on this episode I believe he has inadvertently helped to perpetuate the same kind of thinking about software that the panel had just finished expressing concern about with regard to music: the idea that the hard-earned fruits of somebody’s creative labor should be free.\n\n\n\nWhat Does It Mean To Be Free?\n\n\n\nBefore we can understand why Leo and many other people like him have grown accustomed to expecting things “for free,” I think we need to try to develop an understanding for what it means to be free. In the English language it’s particularly difficult because we use the word to describe two fairly radically different concepts: the freeness of liberty and monetary freeness.\n\n\n\nThe free software movement recognized this problem early and has reduced the distinction to a couple of catch phrases. To determine whether something is meant to be free as in liberty or in cost, they ask whether it’s “free as in speech” or “free as in beer.” I return to this sometimes myself when trying to make sense of something’s freeness. But I also like to use the more explicit phrases “free of restrictions” and “free of cost.” Some things are neither and some things are both. You might find it easier to evaluate in which way something is free by substituting one of those phrases for the word free.\n\n\n\nAlthough the freeness of restrictions is significant to software, particular as it pertains to open-sourced software which other developers are invited to use, for the topic at hand I’m mostly interested in freeness of cost. It’s freeness of cost that Leo was alluding to when he suggested that Pukka should be free, and it’s freeness of cost that I think many consumers are becoming more and more expectant of on the web and with computer software in general.\n\n\n\nFreeness of cost feeds an ongoing expectation for more of the same. But there are so many varieties of cost-free products, that it’s worth exploring in some more detail what it really means to be free.\n\n\n\nFive Ways Of Getting A Beer\n\n\n\nThe aforementioned “free as in beer” metaphor is valuable in that it helps distinguish monetary freeness from liberty. But consumers and developers run the risk of misunderstanding this freeness if we don’t elaborate on the variety of ways in which something can cost money, be free, or fall someplace in between. Each comes with its own tradeoffs, hurting or helping customers and vendors in their own particular ways.\n\n\n\nWithout thinking particularly hard about the idea, I came to the conclusion that most of things we receive possession or ownership of, we get through some combination of the following five avenues. I’m sticking with the beer analogy because otherwise things get way more complicated, and this blog post gets even longer than it already is.\n\n\n\nYou walk into a bar, and you get a beer in your possession by:\n\n\n\n\nPure Payment. The classic mode of acquisition. You choose your favorite brew, and the bartender pours it for you. You get maximum control over the choice of product, and the vendor gets maximum compensation. Mutual gratification. See also: market price, supply and demand.\nSubsidized Payment. The bartender recognizes that by occasionally giving you a “free beer,” you will continue to buy beers, and may even start promoting the bar. The product is free for a moment because the vendor is virtually guaranteed it will pay itself back. Very gratifying for the customer, tentatively gratifying for the vendor. See also: loss leader, senior discount, government programs, insurance.\nPure Charity. Your friend arrives to find the four of you, all close friends for years, sitting around a table. Great news: he’s buying! You’ve just been the recipient of pure charity, which comes with few or no strings attached, but which gives you very little control. Don’t like Pabst Blue Ribbon? Too bad, that’s what he’s buying. At least it’s free! See also: open source, birthday gifts, dinner parties.\nSubsidized Theft. You think you’re so smart. You discovered a tap at the end of the bar that almost nobody has their eye on. When the bartender isn’t looking, you can grab a free pint of whatever happens to be on tap. You don’t actually enjoy what’s in there much, but hey, at least it’s free! You enjoy the benefit so much, you insist on coming to this bar and always instruct your gigantic social group  to meet here. They buy tons of drinks, and the bar prospers not only in spite of, but ironically because of your theft. See also: file sharing, mix tapes, some software piracy.\n\nPure Theft. You’re passing by the back entrance of the bar when you notice a few full kegs of beer just sitting there. Later you come back with a friend and roll one into the back of his pickup. That night, you call all of your friends to share the great news: party at your house, free beer! Not only will you not be meeting at the favorite bar this weekend, you just cost them a keg’s worth of profit. See also: resold pirated goods, fenced car stereos, muggings, home robberies, etc.\n\n\nI realize some of these scenarios are a little far fetched, just to make the beer analogy work. But the “see also” items are meant to inspire you to think about the other transactions in your life that fall into one or more of these categories. For instance when you go to a web site and read the news for free, you’re participating in a subsidized payment. The advertisers just happen to be paying for the content for you, in exchange for your attention to their products. Likewise, a big software company such as Apple might give you “free” software such as GarageBand or iMovie, which is actually subsidized by the cost of the new computer you just bought.\n\n\n\nYou Get What You Pay For\n\n\n\nWhen Leo suggests that Pukka “should be free,” I believe what he’s suggesting is that because the application is simple, and because it works with a popular free web service, that it should also be free as in pure charity. But this makes some hasty assumptions about the product and the developer. If the product were “free as in charity.” Would the product be as good as it is? Would the developer have income to survive?\n\n\n\nIn short, if the product were free as in charity, would the product even exist, and be good enough to mention on MacBreak Weekly, where Leo could wish that it was free? Don’t get me wrong, there do exist many, many fantastic products of charity. And there also exist many total pieces of commercial crap. But the mechanics of the transaction are most obvious and, in a sense, honest, when they are reduced to pure payment.\n\n\n\nGoing back to the bar analogy, let’s consider the free peanuts that you might see in bowls at many such establishments. These subsidized freebies are a tasty snack, and furthermore encourage customers to continue buying beers. In New York City and other large cities, you’re liable to find street vendors on many corners, peddling peanuts and other snacks that are quite similar in quality and quantity to what you’ll find for free in some bars. “These peanuts are great, but they should be free.” Try telling that to the guy standing in the cold on 34th Street!\n\n\nSoftware costs money, time, and resources to develop, just like many of the other products in our lives. And just like those peanuts on the bar, many companies with other things to sell you are in a good position to give away freebies that help to promote their business; to encourage you and your friends to give them money for different reasons.\n\n\n\nBut smaller companies don’t often have the variety of products and services that lends itself to such a complex strategy. Given a good product idea and a market to sell to, they’re forced to adopt the simplest of all strategies: pure payment. Build something brilliant, and be rewarded with money. This money translates into a great motivation for the developer, which in turn translates back into product greatness. It’s easy to understand why the majority of great products in this world do cost money to obtain.\n\n\nThe next time Leo has such a gushingly positive reaction to a product, as he’s obviously had to Pukka, he might consider all the materials going into creating it, and what it costs to perpetuate it. In the case of Pukka, he might have better exclaimed “thank God this isn’t free!” Because if it was free, it probably wouldn’t have rocked his world so hard.\n\n\n","saved":"2008-03-28T00:34:46Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"1db44b74412aca058da8314c0b6f4b4f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ece12aba0739/","kind":"page"},

A number of parts were picked up today at ABC Electronics and a few a/d converter chips were picked up at AEI Electronics. I have to say AEI/Acme isn’t what it used to be when it was on Washington… The wall of IC chips was nowhere to be seen - it’s become more of a high-end home audio gear shop or something.\n\nIn any case! First thing first was wiring up the rabbit so it can be worked on. That meant soldering a 50 pin header on the development board in the array of holes provided. This is essentially a direct connection to all of the lines coming out of the rabbitcore daughter board itself.\n\nThen I was looking at the main prototyping area. A lot of what I’m going to be doing a very work-in-progress and I didn’t want to commit to a particular chipset yet, so I decided to leave the developer board and jump onto a breadboard.\n\n 840\n\nThe breadboard had a convenient locking edge normally used to connect multiple boards together. In this case I used it as a “stand” for the rabbit development board.\n\nNext is the issue of getting lines down to the board. I have some wire-wrapping sockets used to prototype on perf-board, so I stuck one in from the bottom up. I was originally thinking of doing point to point wiring of lines as I needed them, but it occurred to me it would be more organized and useful in the long term to wire the lines from the header to the socket in a one-for-one pattern.\n\n844\n\nAin’t that pretty? This way the silkscreen printing that labels the rabbit lines on the header both sides of the board can be used when grabbing the same lines from the socket.\n\nSo on the “bottom” of the dev board there’s a socket which is the right size to jam standard gauge solid wire to drop connections down to the breadboard.\n\n847\n\nIf look at the large size on this one you’ll see this socket has brought forward PA0-PA7 and PB0-PB7. Inside the micro those are port A and B you can read/write as entire bytes. To test the work so far I’ve put some LEDs and flashed a program which wrote different byte values to port A, which came through just great once I realized I had the LEDs in backwards. (Sort of rusty :).)\n\nThe chip you see punched down there is the analog to digital converter. That’s what all those pins are going to be needed for because it’s a monster for i/o lines - it needs 4 lines to select input and 8 lines to read data back, and handful of others to latch, clock, and signal. Bit of a pain really - we’ll probably switch to a serial ADC at some point - but this one has some advantages right now. It’s easy to work with because it’s the old-school 10 pins per inch, it’s got 16 analog lines in which is huge, and it was a part the store had on hand.\n\nSo yeah. Hook that bad boy up next.\n","saved":"2008-03-25T04:32:25Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"6ef421af43b94bf2988ce983c8894356","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/03310b7c5d2b/","kind":"page"},

Issuing parties make their user accounts OpenID compatible. Relying parties are websites that allow users to sign into their sites with credentials from Issuing parties. Of course, sites can also be both. In fact, if they arent both it can be confusing and isnt a good user experience.\n\nThe problem, though, is that the Big Four Internet companies that I mentioned above have made big press announcements about their support for OpenID, but havent done enough to actually implement it. Microsoft has done absolutely nothing, even though Bill Gates announced their support over a year ago. Google has limited its support to Blogger, where it is both an Issuing and Relying party. Yahoo and AOL are Issuing parties only.\n\nThis isnt just toe dipping in the OpenID pool to see how things go before jumping in. Putting my conspiracy theory hat on, it looks to me like these companies want all the positive press that comes from adopting this open standard, but none of the downside. By becoming Issuing parties, AOL and Yahoo hope to see their users logging in all over the Internet with those credentials. But they dont accept IDs from anywhere else, so anyone that uses their services has to create new credentials with them. Its all gain, no pain.\n\nI spoke to Bill Washburn (the Executive Director of OpenID and only paid employee) and David Recordon (Vice Chair of OpenID) today about the hesitation of the big guys to fully implement OpenID. Both were careful not to criticize, noting that the support of these companies has been an important driver of OpenID awareness. But both also said that they would really like to see full implementation happen sooner rather than later.\n\nRecordan says that at least 11,000 sites now take OpenID credentials for sign on (see image to right). Among them are some large services like 37Signals and LiveJournal. And the open source community has been great about building OpenID support into their software, Recordan says, so that others building on that software can launch Relying party services. Among the projects that support it are Drupal, Movable Type, WordPress.org, Ruby on Rails and MediaWiki. But all of those services put together have nowhere near the user footprint of any of the Big Four.\n\nIll say what the OpenID Foundation cannot, for political reasons - Its time for these companies to do whats right for the users and fully adopt OpenID as relying parties. That doesnt fit in with their strategy of owning the identity of as many Internet users as possible, but it certainly fits in with the Internets very serious need for an open, distributed and secure single log in system (OpenID is all three).\n\nIf and when the Big Four become relying parties, the floodgates will truly open and there will be no looking back. And until they do that, Im not buying that they really support what OpenID is trying to accomplish.\n\nBy the way, Chris Messina has done an excellent job of monitoring these and other companies that have promised OpenID support but are yet to implement it. Keep pressuring them, Chris.\n\n\n\nCrunchBase Information\n\n\nOpenID Foundation\n\nInformation provided by CrunchBase\n\n\nCrunch Network:  MobileCrunch Mobile Gadgets and Applications, Delivered Daily.","saved":"2008-03-24T11:24:59Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"51f1b84c5de369e02e0bab375b4e4342","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9da7123912dc/","kind":"page"},

But expect to soon see networking giant Cisco Systems enter this market as well, setting themselves up for a tense battle with blade server manufacturers for control of the enterprise data center. \n\n\nEarlier this year Cisco introduced their next generation of data center switches, the Nexus 7000 series. While many in the industry saw this announcement as playing catch-up to the likes of Force10 in the data center switching market, the blade server market took notice. Cisco is not a blade server manufacturer -??? they are a networking company pushing the envelope of their areas of expertise in an attempt to keep their place in the enterprise data center. They already produce Linux-based blades for their Catalyst 6500 Series switches, so it seems logical to expect that a blade server will appear shortly in the Nexus 7000 Series.\n\n\nBoth Cisco and the blade server manufacturers know they’re in the midst of a revolution in the enterprise data center, one based on blades and virtualization. Data networking, an important component of the enterprise data center, is no longer the central force driving the vision of the future. Losing that visionary status means that account control, the prize coveted by all enterprise sales organizations, is moving from Cisco to others like IBM, HP and VMware (which may explain Cisco???s investment in VMware as a toehold in the virtualization space).\n\n\nIBM currently sells Cisco switch ports attached to their blade servers. Once Cisco reverses this selling dynamic and announces their blade server for the Nexus 7000 switch you can bet that the folks in control of the enterprise accounts will take notice and go on the offensive.\n\n\nIn the long run, the enterprise data center is all about providing computing resources for an organization. Who do you think can provide those resources more effectively -??? a blade server manufacturer using virtualization with networking added to the system or a data networking manufacturer adding blade servers and virtualization?\n\n\n\n\n\nInterested in Web Infrastructure?

Many of the companies to which people belong on LinkedIn, however, arent big enough for Capital IQ to recognize them. So the bulk of the data shown on these company pages comes from LinkedIns own knowledge of peoples careers.\n\nLinkedIn uses this knowledge to display recent hires, related companies, recent promotions, top locations for employees, and so-called popular profiles (people who get lots of profile views and mentions in the press). The data has also been used for company comparison purposes. You can see which companies employees usually come from and leave for, as well as which companies the current employees are most connected to.\n\nAdditional features include relevant news articles to a company (first discovered on LinkedIn last December)  and personalized job listings. \n\nThe company says that it plans to wiki-fy these company profile pages in the next few months, allowing employees to edit company overviews, upload logos, and add other custom modules. Some of the information on these pages will also be distributable via widget.\n\nThe addition of company profile pages (which, dare I say, remind me of Facebook network pages) and the plans for more user generated content are good moves for LinkedIn, since the company needs to give users better reasons to return and use the site on a regular basis. \n\nLinkedIn says it attracts one million new users each month and plans to have company profiles for a million companies.

I informally polled some of my entrepreneur friends yesterday and today and was surprised at how few of them had read the list.\n\nThese principles are not for every new business, but they are certainly the key drivers of success for any startup looking for venture capital to drive growth. Ive talked about some of these ideas in past posts, but nothing hits home quite as powerfully as a simple list, written by the venture firm that funded startups like Apple, Google, Yahoo, Cisco Systems, Oracle, PayPal and YouTube. Being able to put a check mark next to each item below certainly doesnt ensure success. But ignoring them is a sure way to fail.\n\nI consider this essential reading for any aspiring entrepreneur, along with The Man In The Arena.\n\nElements of Sustainable Companies\nStart-ups with these characteristics often foretells the success of a business and the likelihood of it becoming a sustainable, enduring company. We like to partner with companies that have:\n\nClarity of Purpose\nSummarize the companys business on the back of a business card.\n\nLarge Markets\nAddress existing markets poised for rapid growth or change. A market on the path to a $1B potential allows for error and time for real margins to develop.\n\nRich Customers\nTarget customers who will move fast and pay a premium for a unique offering.\n\nFocus\nCustomers will only buy a simple product with a singular value proposition.\n\nPain Killers\nPick the one thing that is of burning importance to the customer then delight them with a compelling solution.\n\nThink Differently\nConstantly challenge conventional wisdom. Take the contrarian route. Create novel solutions. Outwit the competition.\n\nTeam DNA\nA companys DNA is set in the first 90 days. All team members are the smartest or most clever in their domain. A level founders attract an A level team.\n\nAgility\nStealth and speed will usually help beat-out large companies.\n\nFrugality\nFocus spending on whats critical. Spend only on the priorities and maximize profitability.\n\nInferno\nStart with only a little money. It forces discipline and focus. A huge market with customers yearning for a product developed by great engineers requires very little firepower.\n\n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchGear drool over the sexiest new gadgets and hardware.","saved":"2008-03-20T09:44:59Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"6db1a2e403420534ed66a7545421d8be","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/825bf72edff2/","kind":"page"},

Not Obama's usual brand of exceptional, in which his trademark soaring delivery lifts up whatever he says, but exceptional in its depth, nuance, and forthrightness.\n  For some, no kind of disavowal of Wright would be enough, let alone one with any nuance. For committed Obama opponents, the speech is of course ground to be mined for offenses. But for the most part, the response has recognized this as an extraordinary moment in American politics.\n  New York Times editorial:\n   There are moments  increasingly rare in risk-abhorrent modern campaigns  when politicians are called upon to bare their fundamental beliefs. In the best of these moments, the speaker does not just salve the current political wound, but also illuminates larger, troubling issues that the nation is wrestling with.\n  Inaugural addresses by Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt come to mind, as does John F. Kennedys 1960 speech on religion, with its enduring vision of the separation between church and state. Senator Barack Obama, who has not faced such tests of character this year, faced one on Tuesday. It is hard to imagine how he could have handled it better. \n  Washington Post editorial:\n   SEN. BARACK Obama's mission in Philadelphia yesterday was to put the controversy over inflammatory statements made by the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., his spiritual mentor and pastor for 20 years, behind him. But Mr. Obama (D-Ill.) went deeper than that. He used his address as a teachable moment, one in which he addressed the pain, anger and frustration of generations of blacks and whites head-on -- and offered a vision of how those experiences could be surmounted, if not forgotten. It was a compelling answer both to the challenge presented by his pastor's comments and to the growing role of race in the presidential campaign. \n  Boston Globe Editorial:\n   BARACK OBAMA could have made a much shorter speech. He could have protected his campaign yesterday by denouncing and rejecting his former pastor, Rev.Jeremiah Wright, as a crank. Then Obama could have rushed on, hoping that someone else's scandal would push his own out of the headlines.\n  Instead, Obama took the opportunity to engage the question of race in America, starting a bold, uncomfortably honest conversation. He asked Americans to talk openly about the deep wells of anger and resentment over racism, discrimination, and affirmative action. It's a call to break out of the country's racial stalemate and finally reach a new national understanding.","saved":"2008-03-19T15:12:48Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"891c933a85169bbd95b58b6db4b72e5f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1bdbc2539e52/","kind":"page"},

Immediately following graduation but prior to renovating a house, white people take their first step from childhood to maturity by hosting a successful dinner party.\n\nIt is imperative that white people know how to host a good dinner party as they will be expected to do it well into retirement.\n\nAt the most basic level, these simple gatherings involve 3-6 couples getting together at a single house or apartment, having dinner and talking for 5-6 hours. Though it might seem basic these events are some of the most stressful situations in all of white culture.\n\nHosts are expected to deliver a magical evening. The food must be home made with fresh, organic ingredients, the music must be just right (ambient, new, but not too loud), and the decorations inside the house should be subtle but elegant.  The ultimate goal is to do a better job than the couple at the last dinner party while attempting to make everyone jealous and sort of dislike you.\n\nThe dinner party is the opportunity for white people to be judged on their taste in food, wine, furniture, art, interior design, music, and books.   Outside of dictatorships and a few murder trials, there might not be a more rigorous judgment process in the modern world.  Everything must be perfect.  One copy of US Weekly, a McDonalds wrapper, a book by John Grisham, a Third Eye Blind CD, or an Old School DVD can undo months and maybe even years of work.\n\nEven before guests arrive the pressure on the host is immense and it does not let up once people begin to arrive.  While eating, drinking, and conversation are expected to fill up 5-6 hours, sometimes it’s just not enough.  In order to fill the silence, white people will often turn to board games (Cranium!) or Wii Bowling.  This lets everyone have fun together without having to really talk to each other, which is usually more fun anyways.\n\nIt is strongly encouraged to bring a gift to these dinner parties, usually either wine or some kind of dessert.  If you are able to bring a particularly rare dish from your culture, you will be the star of the party.  To seal the deal, be sure to explain as much as you possibly can about the dish: history, availability, and the proper way to eat it.  Every white person at the party will be taking mental notes and will be in your debt for introducing them to something new and authentic.  If a white person says they have eaten the dish before, it is best to respond by saying “you ate a watered down version.  They don’t even sell this to white people, it’s that intense. Even I had to show ID.”\n\nThe entire party will universally acknowledge you as the top guests, even the hosts will appreciate you for bringing diversity to the table in both food and person form.\n\n       ","saved":"2008-03-19T04:14:34Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"803d5a939bde849f8eb7a60a3f484e84","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e3f6e977b78c/","kind":"page"},

That something can be as small as a couple-hour project or as big as something that takes a few weeks or more. Either way, it’s important to ask questions like this in order to make sure you’re doing work that matters.\n\n\n\nWhy are we doing this?\n\nEver find yourself working on something but you don’t know why? Someone just told you to do this or that? It’s pretty common I think. It’s important to ask yourself (and others) why you’re working on this. What is this for? Who benefits? What’s the motivation behind it? Knowing the answers to these questions will help you better understand the work itself.\n\n\n\nWhat problem are we solving?\n\nWhat’s the problem? Are customers confused? Are we confused? Is something not clear enough? Was something not possible before? What problem are we solving here? Sometimes when you ask yourself this question you’ll find that you’re solving an imaginary problem. That’s when it’s time to stop and reevaluate what the hell you’re doing.\n\n\n\nIs this actually useful?\n\nAre we making something useful or are we just making something? It’s easy to confuse enthusiasm with usefulness. Sometimes it’s fine to play a bit and build something that’s cool, but it’s worth asking yourself if it’s useful too. Cool wears off, useful never does.\n\n\n\nAre we adding value?\n\nAdding something is easy, adding value is harder. Is this thing I’m working on actually making the product more valuable for people? Can they get more out of it than they did before? There’s a fine line between adding value and subtracting value. Sometimes adding is subtracting. Too much catsup can ruin the fries. Value is about balance.\n\n\n\nWill this change behavior?\n\nDevelopers have a tendency to add stats to a screen just because they can. Counts, totals, sums, averages. Numbers can look cool, but do they change behavior? Does it matter if someone knows there are 38 of these instead of 42? Does it matter that someone knows it took 0.08 seconds instead of 0.02? Sometimes it might, but it’s important to constantly ask yourself: Will knowing this information change someone’s behavior? Can they do something useful with this information? Will they make a better decision because of this information? If not, pull it out of the interface. Data without purpose is noise.\n\n\n\nIs there an easier way?\n\nThere are lots of ways to do things, but for simplicity’s sake let’s say there are two primary ways: The easier way and the harder way. The easier way takes 1 unit of time. The harder way takes 10 units of time. Whenever you’re working on the harder way you should ask yourself is there an easier way? You’ll often find that the easier way is more than good enough for now. Most people’s problems are pretty simple — we just imagine they are hard.\n\n\n\nWhat’s the opportunity cost?\n\nWhat can’t we do because we’re doing this? This is especially important for smaller companies that are more resource constrained. Limited time makes prioritization more important. If we work on feature A can we still do Feature B and C before April? If not, would we rather have B and C instead of A? Is A really worth the opportunity cost? Ask this all the time.\n\n\n\nIs it really worth it?\n\nThis one should come up all the time. Is what we’re doing really worth it? Is this meeting worth pulling 6 people off their work for an hour? Is it worth pulling an all-nighter tonight or could we just finish it up tomorrow? Is it worth getting all stressed out over a press release from a competitor? Is it really worth spending $1000/week on Google Adwords? Is it really worth…?\n\n\n\nThe questions listed above are just some of the questions we’re asking ourselves all the time. At the end of the day it’s all about making the right decisions about the right things at the right time. These questions help us get there.\n\n\n\n  \n","saved":"2008-03-17T20:15:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"95d735c5fd4dd145282425f05525ec29","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4ed4d1feb320/","kind":"page"},

Great specs for a (fairly) compact camera, with some important features for photo geeks, notably the ability to shoot raw.  It feels great in the hand, very solid, and the manual features are easy to get at and reasonable to use.  Yes, we’d all prefer knurled rings on the lens barrel for aperture and shutter speed setting, but let’s all repeat together: “Canon is not Leica”.\n\nThe only real quibble I have with this camera is the sensor.  At 12 megapixels, it’s way too much resolution, especially for a small sensor type like this.  I’d much rather have purchased this camera with an eight megapixel sensor and gotten even lower noise at higher ISO ratings.  When you’re talking about the consumer space like this, the main thing that more megapixels buys you is more noise in the image, more disk space taken up on your computer, and longer transfer and processing times.\n\nThat said it’s a minor quibble, as it achieves very low noise even at reasonably high ISO, and the extreme ISO settings (800 and above) I’d go so far as to call usable in a pinch. The image above is a shot of Boulder Creek I took this morning before heading in to work.  We got a nice little snowfall last night to remind us that spring is not here yet, and in fact March is the snowiest month of the year usually.\n\n       ","saved":"2008-03-17T16:16:27Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"5654e1c967525b6fe98b85222712f531","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/478a2180307a/","kind":"page"},

The old folks spent the day tethered to their laptops.\n\nWe met up at the apartment and walked up to our favorite restaurant, the Peking Duck House in mid-town. We had a fantastic meal there (no surprise), including having the one person in our group who was previously not a fan of seafood taking seconds.\n\nWe got there extremely early (Lois is always the overly cautious one), and that worked out. It was an unusually leisurely meal for the Duck House (which typically serves more quickly) and it all worked out perfectly. You can see how satisfied we all looked at the end of the meal:\n\n\n\nThey called for rain starting early evening, but it held off. That worked out too, since we got to walk from the Duck House to the theater, with no precipitation.\n\nWe had tickets to see Avenue Q at the Golden Theater on 45th Street. We got there at about 7:52 and were comfortably seated long before the curtain went up (or rather the lights went down, since there was no curtain) at 8:05 like most Broadway shows.\n\nSetting the record straight, I exaggerated by saying comfortably seated. There’s nothing wrong with the Golden Theater, but we’re pretty spoiled by the Gershwin Theater (where we’ve seen Wicked seven times!), which is so much more comfortable, so much more spacious (leg room), and so many more seats…\n\nOur goddaughter saw Avenue Q a number of years ago. She enjoyed it, but warned us that it was off color. That’s code for Lois should stay away! Both my godson and I were more than a little worried about her reaction, even though neither of knew exactly how off color the show would be.\n\nThe very first number is cute, but also sets some expectations in that regard. The words it sucks to be me are repeated too many times to count. It didn’t offend me, but I was already a tad worried about Lois. Completely due to chance, Lois and I ended up at opposite ends of our seven seat block, so we caught each other’s eye a few times, but didn’t talk about the show until it was over.\n\nWithout giving away anything material (trust me), Avenue Q is essentially an adult version of Sesame Street. In other words, it is done in the style of Sesame Street, and is meant to educate, while being playful (only this time, in an adult sense). The education is meant to teach some life lessons, but they use other techniques that are more traditional Sesame Street (as in teaching the meaning of some words).\n\nAs with Sesame Street, some of the characters are puppets, and some are honest-to-goodness humans. Different than Sesame Street, the puppets are controlled by humans who are on the stage acting alongside the puppet they are controlling, and singing and speaking without trying to pretend to be ventriloquists. It works perfectly well, so even if my description sounds cheesy, fear not!\n\nEvery single actor on the stage was excellent. There wasn’t a weak voice or performance among the group. The two leads, Howie Michael Smith and Sarah Stiles are fantastic. Great voices, great acting and great range (they each control multiple characters). That said, to repeat, the entire cast is superb, and you should check each of them out on the cast page.\n\nHere are the two leads, then a photo of some other cast members:\n\n\n\nThe humor in the show is largely tongue-in-cheek, and goes over well with the audience. Lots of bursts of uncontrollable laughter from people all around us. But, an over-the-top focus on sex and sexual themes. Not innuendo, but rather explicit stuff. Keep in mind that they can do things with puppets on the stage that actors couldn’t get away with. Nuff said.\n\nThat kind of stuff doesn’t bug me, in any way, even when it’s completely gratuitous. I love comedy/humor in most forms. I believe I’ve said in the past that I like it even when it isn’t funny, as long as I can project where they were heading, if the unrealized destination would have been funny.\n\nIn this case, it also didn’t bug me at all. But, it was more than just over-the-top. It was actually vulgar at times, and I imagine that it offended a number of people (including Lois) though many (not including Lois) wouldn’t be comfortable admitting their discomfort. Even the vulgarity was good for cheap laughs, and the audience as a whole most definitely laughed heartily even at those jokes!\n\nI tried not to look around too much, but I heard some people say something about kids being in the audience. I hope there weren’t too many (or rather any!). If parents brought young children to this show, thinking it’s only a puppet show with singing, they were sadly mistaken, and abrogated their parental responsibility to investigate the show in advance of bringing their kids. Of course, if they did, and still brought their kids, their judgment needs to be checked in other matters as well (in my opinion).\n\nFrom very early on, it was entirely obvious that this was not going to be a PC (Politically Correct) show. For that, I applaud them completely. In my opinion, the PC in this country is out of control. Not wanting to offend entire groups of people is laudable. But, the same people that feel it’s verboten to say something against this particular group, have no shame in knocking something else (oh, let’s say Republicans or Christians).\n\nAvenue Q takes no prisoners, and shouldn’t!\n\nThat said, they also take the obligatory shot at President Bush (only one, which was in itself impressive restraint!). The crowd whooped it up like they had just heard the funniest joke in their life! It’s fine, and wasn’t over-the-top in any sense.\n\nThat said, I found it incredibly ironic. Basically, the complaint is that life under W’s rule is horrible, and we simply can’t wait to get out from under it. I realize that at a minimum, at least half of the country feels this way, perhaps even more. So, it’s a legitimate point of view, right or wrong. But, in this case, it’s written by people who have a very successful Broadway hit on their hands (a Tony winner!), it’s being delivered by actors who are starring in a Broadway hit, and being received by people who can afford to take their dates/families/friends to a Broadway show, all in the midst of these horrible economic times.\n\nYes, the lives of all of those that shared this very clever joke all seem terribly in shambles at this time, entirely due to W’s iron-fisted madness!\n\nUnfortunately, I really worry about the half of the country that thinks their lives will be immeasurably better when either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama become President. The magical thinking that goes on, that a President exerts such power to change things (in either direction) simply discounts what our government and economy have become and how they work. Oh well…\n\nIn and around all of the jokes, there are actually some very deep insights about life, and the plight we all experience as we grow up and make our own way. I’m impressed with the way the writers deliver those lessons (to those who are paying attention) in a subtle and lighthearted manner.\n\nBottom line: A very clever show, wittily written, with good songs, great singing, excellent harmonies, lots of funny dialog, top-notch acting and great puppeteering. If you don’t mind vulgarity (at times), and lots of focus on sex (even when it’s not vulgar), and you aren’t offended by non-PC jokes, you will really enjoy this show. I did, even though I can totally understand why some others might not.\n\nWhen we got out it was raining. It was coming down reasonably steadily, but it wasn’t too cold, and it wasn’t windy (so the rain was coming straight down rather than blowing in your face), so we walked home (cutting through Grand Central as we did the night before). Given all of the weather predictions, so far, it’s held up remarkably well.\n\nAnother excellent day! \n\n\nTags: Avenue Q, Broadway, Comedy, Food, Peking Duck House, Politics\n\nRelated posts\n\nEnjoying Repetition (1)\nTranslating Eliot Spitzer Resignation Speech (0)\nThe New York Times Makes Me Laugh (0)\nRandom Spitzer Fiasco Thoughts (0)\nMy iPod Nano Teaches Me New Tricks (0)\n","saved":"2008-03-15T17:01:44Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e6645f9af051e9d2b73a5872b5676e6b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8511c1b6de8d/","kind":"page"},

Its been an exciting few months for us since weve taken on the role of helping Gravatar grow.  Weve been doing a lot of work to get those gears turning, and set things up for some serious forward motion.\n\nThe first thing we did, after stabilizing the service, was set out to rewrite Gravatar in PHP.  Now before we launch into any holy wars Id like to point out that our decision on this matter had nothing to do with Ruby, or Rails  in fact we have a great respect for both!  The reason, the only reason, we switched is that PHP is our core competency at Automattic.  As a PHP application we will be able to apply the sum total of our collective abilities to bear on any problems that Gravatar might face.  The guys I work with are genuinely some of the most technically gifted people I know!\n\nOf the things that you might notice there are a couple which will be most prominent.  First off the speed of the user interface has increased dramatically especially when it comes to applying your uploaded imaged to your email addresses, a process which used to take minutes.  Weve fixed the biggest issue with the cropper (it would throw an error if you tried to use an image that was already 8080 pixels or smaller.)\n\nNow for some things that you probably have not noticed.\n\nWe have increased the size limit for avatars to 512 pixels (thats a big avatar!)  With existing gravatars the image will be pixelated at 512, but new gravatars created from from higher resolution images will be very clear. For backwards compatibility the default size for serving images with no specific requested size will be the 80 pixel version.\n\n\nYou can now abbreviate the avatar.php options as follows: size=80 can be s=80, rating=PG can be r=PG, default=foo can now be d=foo.  The rating is also case insensitive (r=PG is the same as r=pg). Oh and gravatar_id=foo can be g=foo, not that youll need it because weve implemented a new cleaner URL API.  Our new API is actually really simple, and not a huge departure from the original URL structure.\n\nhttp://www.gravatar.com/avatar/767fc9c115a1b989744c755db47feb60\n\nAll of the aforementioned get parameters still work, such as ?s=80&r=g&default=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mysite.com%2Fimage.jpg  Also, for convenience and compatibility with certain software (for example some forum software wont allow you to use a url as an avatar if it doesnt have an image extension), you can append .jpg to the end of the MD5 of the email\n\nhttp://www.gravatar.com/avatar/767fc9c115a1b989744c755db47feb60.jpg?s=128&r=g\n\nWeve also added support for gravatar images over SSL (please use the hostname secure.gravatar.com for this)!\n\nhttps://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/767fc9c115a1b989744c755db47feb60\n\nWe have lots more stuff planned to make Gravatar.com a great service for everyone, so stay tuned!","saved":"2008-03-14T21:11:47Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"d42c22d35277678b83da2e16ce18dbfe","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/369e226a9f8a/","kind":"page"},

At the place where I work test driven development was first introduced by some colleagues of mine who were also some of the first advocates at the office of the scrum methodologies. Doug Swisher and John Murphy if memory serves, though I apologize in advance if that’s not correct.\n\nI mention this now because I was reminded again about how it has permeated the development culture. Microsoft has also brought many of these practices in house in different areas and it shows. For example they’re working with a guy making Moonlight, and open source implementation of Silverlight for Linux, by providing documentation and the code for their full unit test suite. The MVC demo from Scott Hanselman also demonstrated unit testing and advocated some practices such as using a mock library. If you catch his presentation online at five minutes into it he’s showing the new MVC project template which includes a test library option selected by default, as well as an “I suck” option (his words) to omit any unit test library in your new solution.\n\nHe’s funny. Ah! I see he’s looking into various inversion of control containers. That’s a cool topic, but not what I’m talking about at the moment.\n\nTDD is one of those things that’s a good habit, and one to constantly strive to reinforce, but one that’s also very easy to abandon when your project enters the grind to the finish line.\n\nIt’s something I’m thinking about because I’ve also been working on a small contribution to the open source castle project. I’m a huge fan of that group’s work and I’d like to give a little something back. But since it’s going out to�  that community I want the code to make a good impression for me - so I’ve been especially careful trying to follow conventions including providing a nunit lib.\n\nI’ll post something more about that once it’s committed.

Eliot Spitzer, Governor of New York, resigned today. He gave a heart-felt speech, that was carefully crafted to communicate as clearly as possible with everyone in the country.\n\nUnfortunately, not everyone has the appropriate decoder ring necessary to un-craft the true meaning of his message. Thankfully for the rest of you, I have one. I ran his speech through the magic decoder, and here’s what came out:\n\nIn the past few days I’ve begun to atone for my private failings with my wife, Silda, my children and my entire family.\n\nIn the past few days, I have been very quiet, and have allowed my family to look at me with horror and disbelief. When I break the law, it’s a private failing, when others broke the law, I was there to demolish them.\n\nThe remorse I feel will always be with me. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the love and compassion they have shown me.\n\nI know that this will forever be on the Internet for all to see. I am grateful that my family hasn’t pulled off my fingernails, at least not yet.\n\nFrom those to whom much is given, much is expected. I have been given much  - the love of my family, the faith and trust of the people of New York, and the chance to lead this state.\n\nI have been given much, and have taken a lot more, from many people. I deserved it all, and if I crushed people along the way, including innocent ones, I was on a mission, so it was all necessary.\n\n I am deeply sorry I did not live up to what was expected of me.\n\nI am deeply sorry that I was caught. Being Governor certainly wasn’t the last stop on my road to ultimate power, though now it looks like it might be.\n\nTo every New Yorker, and to all those who believed in what I tried to stand for, I sincerely apologize.\n\nTo everyone, I couldn’t stand for anything in an honest manner, but at least I tried to appear to stand for something. For the fact that you now know that I was more of a do as I say and not as I do kinda guy, well, I’m very sorry you found out.\n\nI look at my time as governor with a sense of what might have been,\n\nI look back, still remembering what it was like before I was caught, ah, the good old days.\n\nbut I also know that as a public servant, I and the remarkable people with whom I worked have accomplished a great deal.\n\nI’m sorry, but I can’t leave in complete shame, I simply have to take another bow, pat myself on the back, and throw a bone to some people who I hope don’t completely abandon me in the coming days.\n\nThere is much more to be done and I cannot allow my private failings to disrupt the people’s work.\n\nI had more to do (privately and publicly), but now that my private crime spree has become public, my work has been disrupted.\n\nOver the course of my public life I have insisted, I believe correctly, that people, regardless of their position or power, take responsibility for their conduct.\n\nWhile in power, I have insisted that people cave to my every whim, I believe correctly. It served my personal purpose. I made them take responsibility for everything, whether they committed a crime or not.\n\n I can and will ask no less of myself.\n\nNow that I have been caught, I have decided to hold myself to a similar standard, given that I would have been held to that standard by others, if I didn’t do it first. Of course, not exactly the same standard, since I didn’t resign immediately and I certainly don’t intend to go to jail. It’s not like I actually knew I was doing anything wrong before I got caught, so it’s really OK that I didn’t hold myself up to that standard a tad earlier.\n\nFor this reason I am resigning from the office of governor, and at Lt. Gov. David Paterson’s request, the resignation will be effective on Monday, March 17, a date that he believes will permit an orderly transition.\n\nDon’t be mad at me for not resigning immediately a few days ago, nor for hanging in there for another few days. Other people urged me to take this route, and you know how much of a giver I am, I simply couldn’t refuse them.\n\nI go forward with the belief, as others have said, that as human beings our greatest glory consists not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.\n\nThe people that I put away, or nearly ruined, had no redeeming qualities. I, on the other hand, will rise to greater heights shortly. Stay tuned!\n\nAs I leave public life, I will first do what I need to do to help and heal myself and my family,\n\nAs I leave public life, I will duck and hope that I survive the coming storm at home,\n\nthen I will try once again, outside of politics, to serve the common good and to move toward the ideals and solutions which I believe can build a future of hope and opportunity for us and for our children.\n\nI will then try and assert my two-faced moralistic views on the rest of you, but I’m not sure exactly how just yet, given that I won’t be in a position of authority. That said, I’m a clever and very rich guy, and I have little doubt I’ll figure it out.\n\nI hope all of New York will join my prayers for my friend, David Paterson, as he embarks on his new mission and I thank the public once again for the privilege of service. Thank you very much.\n\nIt’s unfortunate that David Paterson will now enjoy everything that is rightfully mine, but please, join me in a golf clap for his ascendancy to my throne.\n\n\nTags: Comedy, Eliot Spitzer, Politics\n\nRelated posts\n\nRandom Spitzer Fiasco Thoughts (0)\nThe New York Times Makes Me Laugh (0)\nMeaningless Opinions (0)\nGeraldine Ferraro Leads The Way (0)\nBarack Obama Kennedy (0)\n","saved":"2008-03-12T18:59:13Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"20e9ade7e919b051f91ecd04c10be94e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ce2e9cf35357/","kind":"page"},

It's a very similar product to one of my daily refreshes, OriginalSignal. Only Alltop covers a much broader range of topics, 40 in total. Alltop's selection of feeds is savvy and wide-ranging - and I'm not just saying that because ReadWriteWeb is the first feed listed in 'Social Media' (although I am very pleased about that!). The service is being positioned as 'RSS for the masses', because it makes it very easy for non-tech people to find new sources to read.\n\n\nFounder Guy Kawasaki described Alltop as \"an 'online magazine rack' that displays the news from the top publications and blogs.\"\n\nThere have been varying reactions to Alltop. Mike Arrington at TechCrunch wrote that Alltop is \"just a big pile of nothing.\" I think he was referring to the fact that it is relatively easy to create an app like Alltop - and he referenced the Web 2.0 Workgroup homepage (developed by Fred Oliveira a few years ago) as an example. Others think that Alltop is filling a need, for mainstream people to get into the RSS reading scene. Mick Liubinskas wrote that \"I can see my wife and even my dad using it.\" Mick said that \"they are now both looking for stuff to read and are ready to venture outside of the news sits they know, but they are not quite sure where to start.\" \n\nChris Shipley of GuideWireGroup came to a similar conclusion to Mick, noting also that the sourcing of material is an important part of Alltop. Chris said that Alltop is \"a collection of the stuff that top bloggers, Twitterers, and social media buffs like to read. Its not the wisdom of crowds, so much as the wisdom of the most engaged social media advocates.\" I agree with Chris that the content selection on Alltop is smart and savvy - these are quality blogs. Certainly Alltop has a much broader set of sources than its inspiration, PopURLs (a collection of popular, but slightly cliched by now, blog and social media sources).\n\n\n\nI like Alltop. It is a simple app, so I think Mike Arrington had a valid point there. But it's effective and it is definitely an easy scan for people looking for social news to read. It won't satisfy many early adopter types, who will continue to use the likes of Google Reader and Newsgator for 'heavy lifting' of RSS feeds. And early adopters will continue to use the likes of Netvibes and Pageflakes for their Alltop-like reading - i.e. when you just want to scan a bunch of your top news sources - because those apps are much more functional and configurable than Alltop. \n\nWill Alltop entice mainstream readers to follow blogs and use RSS more? I hope it does, but there is still a psychological factor to overcome in getting mainstream people to read blogs. While some people recognize that blogs are as much a part of the news ecosystem as mainstream media these days, many others still see blogging as a way to let the world know what you had for breakfast. So a service like Alltop is unlikely to change the latter attitude, which is unfortunately the most common one (not helped by mainstream media, which often portrays blogs as superficial social networking sites).\n\nRSS for the masses? Not sure I'd go that far, but Alltop is a nice, simple service that you can start pointing your non-geek friends and family to.","saved":"2008-03-12T01:02:55Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3a1936bb1a02330cc28149f3971582b7","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0c57ad49c63a/","kind":"page"},

Andy and I plugged them back in '98 when writing The\nPragmatic Programmer. I've written my share of them over the years, and I've used even more. Which is why it is distressing to see that a whole group of developers are writing DSLs (and discussing DSLs) without seeming to get one of the fundamental principles behind good DSL design.\n\n\n\n\n  Domain experts don't speak a natural language\n\n\n\n\nLet's say that another way. Whenever domain experts communicate, they may seem to be speaking in English (or\nFrench, or whatever). But they are not. They are speaking jargon, a specialized language that they've\ninvented as a shorthand for communicating effectively with their peers. Jargon may use English words, but these\nwords have been warped into having very different meanings—meanings that you only learn through experience in\nthe field.\n\n\n\n\nLet's look at some successful domain specific languages before turning our attention on the way that some DSLs are trying just a little too hard.\n\n\n\nSuccess Story 1: Dependency Management in Make\n\n\n  The Make utility has been a mainstay of Unix software development for over 30 years. You can complain about\nsome strange syntax rules (some of which involve the invisible difference between tabs and spaces), but it would\nbe hard to argue that Make hasn't had a major impact in the open source world.\n\n\n\n\nAt its heart, Make addresses the building of systems from components in the presence of dependencies. Make lets\nme express the dependencies between header files, source files, object files, libraries, and executable images.\nIt also lets me specify the commands to execute to resolve those dependencies when certain items are missing.\nFor example, I could say\n\n\n\n\nmy_prog.o: my_prog_.c common.h\n\nextras.o:   extras.c common.h\n\nmy_prog:    my_prog.o extras.o\n            cc -o my_prog -lc my_prog.o extras.o\n\n\n\n  This example of the Make DSL says that my_prog.o depends on my_prog.c and\ncommon.h, and that extras.o depends on extras.c and also depends on\ncommon.h. The final program, my_prog, depends on the two object files. To build the\nprogram, we have to execute the cc command on the line that follows the dependency line. No build\ncommand is needed for the object files: in this case Make knows what to do implicitly.\n\n\n\n\nPeople who build software from source are domain experts in the area of dependencies and build commands. They need concise ways of expressing that expertise, of saying things like \"if I ask you to ensure my program is up-to-date, and the common header file has been changed, then I want you to rebuild all the dependent object files before then rebuilding the main program\". Make is by no means perfect, but its longevity shows that it goes a long way as a DSL to meeting its expert's needs.\n\n\n\nSuccess Story 2: Active Record Declarations\n\n\n  Love it or loathe it, you have to admit that Rails has changed the game. And one reason is its extensive use of DSLs. For example, when you are writing model classes, you are claiming to be an expert on your application's domain, and in the relationships between objects in that domain. And Rails has a nifty DSL to let you express those relationships.\n\n\n\n\nclass Post < ActiveRecord::Base\n  has_many :comments\n  ...\nend\n\nclass Comment < ActiveRecord::Base\n  belongs_to :post\n  ...\nend\n\n\n\n  The two lines containing has_many and belongs_to are part of a data modeling DSL\nprovided by Rails. Behind the scenes, this simple-looking code creates a whole heap of supporting\ninfrastructure in the application, infrastructure that allows the programmer to easily navigate and manage the\nrelationships between (in this case) posts and comments.\n\n\n\n\n  At first blush, this might seem like an English-language DSL. But, despite appearances, has_many and belongs_to are not English phrases. They are jargon from the world of modeling. They have a specific meaning in that context, a meaning that is clear to developers using Rails (because those developers take on the role of domain modeler when they start writing the application).\n\n\n\nSuccess Story 3: Groovy Builders\n\n\n  The Groovy language has a wonderful way of expressing data in code. The builder concept lets you construct a set of nodes as a side effect of code execution. You can then express those nodes as (for example) XML, or JSON, or Swing user interfaces. Here's a trivial example that constructs some nodes describing a person which we can then output as XML.\n\n\n\n\n  result = new StringWriter\n  xml = new groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder(result)\n  xml.person(category: 'employee') {\n    name('dave')\n    likes('programming')\n  }\n  println result\n\n\n\n  This would generate something like\n\n\n\n\n  <person category=\"employee\">\n    <name>dave</name>\n    <likes>programming</likes>\n  </person>\n\n\n\n  (Jim Wierich took this idea and created the wonderful Ruby Builder library, the basis of Rails' XML-generating templates.)\n\n\n\n\nAgain, we have a DSL aimed squaring at someone who knows what they are doing. If you're creating XML, then you know that the elements can be nested, that they can have textual content, and that elements have optional attributes. The Builder DSL takes care of all the details for you—the angle brackets, any quoting, and so on—but you still have to know the underlying concepts. Again, the language of the DSL is the language of the domain.\n\n\n\nSeduced by Language\n\n\n  Over the years, people have looked at DSLs and wondered just how far they can be taken. Would it be possible to\ncreate a DSL that could be used by somewhat who wasn't a domain expert? So far, the answer is “no.” The problem\nis that abstractions leak—to do things in a domain, you need to know the domain. The folks who brought us\nStartrek TNG pretended otherwise. Jean Luc Picard used an English language DSL to talk to his food dispenser. It\nworked every time. But, in the real world, you know that the first time someone said \"Earl Gray, hot\" to this\nmagic box, they'd be surprised when a naked English peer covered in baby oil popped out. \n\n\n\n\nThe reality is that languages such as English, French, and so on, are imprecise. That ambiguity makes them powerful. Because of this, whenever we try to create a DSL that looks like a natural language, we fall short. Take AppleScript as an example. On the face of it, it looks nice and expressive—we're writing something that looks very natural. Here's an example from the Apple example scripts.\n\n\n\n\n  set this_file to choose file without invisibles\n  try\n  tell application \"Image Events\"\n  launch\n  set this_image to open this_file\n  scale this_image to size 640\n  save this_image with icon\n  close this_image\n  end tell\n  on error error_message\n  display dialog error_message\n  end try\n\n\n\n  Kind of makes sense, doesn't it? I thought so too. So, for years, I've been trying to get into AppleScript. I keep trying, and I keep failing. Because the language is deceptive. They try to make it English-like. But it isn't English. It's a programming language.  And it has rules and a syntax that are very unEnglish like. There's a major cognitive dissonance—I have to take ideas expressed in a natural language (the problem), then map them into an artificial language (the AppleScript programming model), but then write something that is a kind of faux natural language. (Piers Cawley calls these kinds of DSLs domain-specific pidgin, but my understanding is that pidgins are full languages, and our code hasn't got that far.)\n\n\n\n\nWhat's the point? When you're writing logic like this, with exception handling, command sequencing, and (in more advanced examples) conditionals and loops, then what you're doing is programming. The domain is the world of code. If you're not up to programming, then you shouldn't be writing AppleScript. And if you are up to programming, then AppleScript just gets in your way.\n\n\n\n\nBut this isn't a discussion of AppleScript. That's just an example of the kind of trouble you get into when you forget what the domain is and try to create natural language DSLs.\n\n\n\nTesting Times\n\n\n  Here's a little code from a test written using the test/spec framework.\n\n\n\n\n  specify \"should be a string\" do\n    @result.should.be.a.kind_of String\n  end\n  specify \"value should be 'cat'\" do\n    @result.should.equal \"cat\"\n  end\n\n\n\n  It's an elegant example of what can be done with Ruby. And, don't get me wrong. I'm not picking on Chris here. I think he's created a clever framework, and one that is likely to become quite popular.\n\n\n\n But let's look at it from a DSL point of view. What is the domain? I'm thinking it is the specification of\nthe correct behavior of programs. And who are the domain experts? That's a trickier question to answer. In an\nideal world, it would be the business users. But, the reality is that if the business users had the time,\npatience, an inclination to write things at this level, they wouldn't need programmers. Don't kid\nyourselves—writing these specs is programming, and the domain experts are programmers. \n\n\n\n  As a programmer, a couple of things leap out at me from these tests. First, there's the duplication. The\nspecify lines are a form of grouping, and each contains a string documenting what that group\ntests. But the whole point of the DSL part of the exercise is to make that blindingly obvious anyway. Now the\nBDD folks say that you write the specifications first, without any content, and then gradually add the tests in\nthe blocks as you add supporting application code. I'd suggest that you might want to look at ways of removing\nthe eventual duplication by transforming the specification into the test.\n\n\n\n\n  But for me the really worrying thing is the syntax. @result.should.be.a.kind.of String. It reads like English. But it isn't. The words are separated by periods, except the last two, where we have a space. As a programmer, I know why. But as a user, I worry about it. In the first example, we write @result.should.be.a.kind_of. Why not kind.of? If I want to test that floats are roughly equal, I'd have said @result.should.be.close value. Why not close.to value? \n\n\n\n\nTrivial details, but it means that I can't just write tests using my knowledge of English—I have to look things up. ANd if I have to do that, why not just use a language/API that is closers to the domain of specifications and testing?\nChris's work is great, but it illustrates how a DSL that pretends to be English can never really get there. The domain of his language is software development--it would be perfectly OK to produce a DSL that makes sense in that domain.\n\n\n\n\nRSpec is another behavior-driven testing framework. Here's part of a specification (or should it be test?).\n\n\n\n\n  describe \"(empty)\" do\n\n    it { @stack.should be_empty }\n\n    it_should_behave_like \"non-full Stack\"\n\n    it \"should complain when sent #peek\" do\n      lambda { @stack.peek }.should raise_error(StackUnderflowError)\n    end\n\n    it \"should complain when sent #pop\" do\n      lambda { @stack.pop }.should raise_error(StackUnderflowError)\n    end\n\n  end\n\n\n\n  Another nice, readable piece of code, full of clever Ruby tricks. But, again, the attempt to create a natural\nlanguage feel in the DSL leads to all sorts of leaks in the abstraction. Look at the use of\nshould. We have should be_empty. Here, the actual assertion is (somewhat\nsurprisingly) \"should be_\". That's right—the be_ part is really part of the should, indicating that what\nfollows the underscore is a predicate method to be called (after adding a question mark, so we'd call\n@result.empty? in this case). Then we have another way of using _should_ in the phrase\nit_should_behave_like—all one word. Then there's a third way of using should when we reach should\nraise_error. And, of course, all these uses of _should_ differ from the use in test/spec, even though both\nstrive for an English-like interface. The same kinds of dissonance occur with the use of it in the first three lines (it {...} vs. it_should_... vs. it \"...\").\n\n\n\nIt's a Domain Language\n\n\n  Just to reiterate, I'm not bashing either of these testing frameworks—they are popular and I'm in favor of anything that brings folks to the practices of testing.\n\n\n\n\nHowever, I am concerned that the popularity of these frameworks, and other similar uses of English-as-a-DSL, may lead developers astray. Martin Fowler writes about fluent interfaces. I think his work might have been misunderstood—the fluency here is programmer fluency, not English fluency. It's writing succinct, expressive code (and, in particular, using method chaining where appropriate).\n\n\n\n\n  The language in a DSL should be the language of the domain, not the natural language of the developer. Resist the temptation to use cute tricks to make the DSL more like a natural, human language. By doing so you might add to its readability, but I can guarantee that you'll be taking away from its writability, and you'll be adding uncertainty and ambiguity (the strengths of natural languages). The second you find yourself writing\n\n\n\n\n  def a\n    self\n  end\n\n\nso that you can use \"a\" as a connector in\n\n\n  \n    add.a.diary.entry.for(\"Lunch\").for(August.10.at(3.pm))\n\n\n\n  you know you've crossed a line. This is not longer a DSL. It's broken English.\n\n\n    ","saved":"2008-03-11T13:40:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"40e653e3e20c0ba2886665e620121f0f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/013e5ef7a9b4/","kind":"page"},

As any good family does, we all got together and discussed options on how best to deal with the situation at hand. During one of these discussions my uncle revealed his own fear of forgetting the important people around him. It was this fear that prompted me to compile a family tree, something that could be used time and time again to explain to him who a person was when the time came.  Im a software developer, so seeking out software to fulfill the task seemed the best way to go about this problem. Sure enough I found my answer in MacFamilyTree from Synium Software. This software went above and beyond my needs. The amount of information you can store in addition to the standard family relationships is just amazing. Combine this with a slick interface and OS X integration and youve got yourself the best genealogy application around.    Adding people and information is as simple as starting with the Family Assistant. You add a person of reference (MacFamilyTree recommends adding yourself), then simply start adding family members from there. You can share your family tree in a variety of ways including .Mac, MacFamilyTree.com or even DVD. MacFamilyTree has is fully GEDCOM-Compatible offering transparent sharing of your family data. Additional features include reporting, charts, and in the new 5.1 release, a very pretty interface. In addition to storing information about a person, media such as images, movies, documents, URLs and music can also be added. This came in handy when talking about my Aunt Clare, as she was a musician (I was able to store songs with her information).  There are other some other genealogy apps for the Mac includingFamilyandiFamily,however, none had the feature set and ease of use thatMacFamilyTreeprovides. MacFamilyTree may not have cured my uncles Alzeimers, but it certainly helps prevent an old mans heart from breaking! In my book, its great software worth a look.One thing to note, after installing the application for the first time, I attempted to launch the application via Quicksilver only to find it didnt exist. I then went into my Applications folder and found the item to be there. It gets indexed by Quicksilver as MacStammBaum, probably something to do with the package contents, but this is a little out of my scope. Please post comments if you know how to fix this.

Here’s five reasons why:\n\n\n\nWorkaholics may well say that they enjoy those 14 hour days week after week, but despite their claims, working like that all month, all the time is not going to be sustainable. When the burnout crash comes, and it will, it’ll hit all the harder and according to Murphy at the least convenient time.\nPeople who are workaholics are likely to attempt to fix problems by throwing sheer hours at the problem. If you’re dealing with people working with anything creatively that’s a deadbeat way to get great work done.\nPeople who always work late makes the people who don’t feel inadequate for merely working reasonable hours. That’ll lead to guilt, misery, and poor morale. Worse, it’ll lead to ass-in-seat mentality where people will “stay late” out of obligation, but not really be productive.\nIf all you do is work, your value judgements are unlikely to be sound. Making good calls on “is it worth it?” is absolutely critical to great work. Missing out on life in general to put more hours in at the office screams “misguided values”.\nWorking with interesting people is more interesting than just working. If all you got going for your life is work, work, work, the good team-gelling lunches are going to be some pretty boring straight shop talk. Yawn. I’d much rather hear more about your whittling project, your last trek, how your garden is doing, or when you’ll get your flight certificate.\n\nIf your start-up can only succeed by being a sweatshop, your idea is simply not good enough. Go back to the drawing board and come up with something better that can be implemented by whole people, not cogs.\n\n\n\nUpdate: Calacanis reeled it in and reconsidered, sorta. Requiring passion is certainly something we hopefully can all rally about.\n\n  \n","saved":"2008-03-07T23:24:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"7b31a283d164ef5ab042ee0713359877","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/29562c181e53/","kind":"page"},

It tells me what city I'm in; the hotel rooms offer no clues. Every Courtyard by Marriott is interchangeable.  Many doors into the same house. From the size of my suitcase, I can recall the length of my stay: one or two days, the small bag.  Three or four, the large. Two bags means more than a week.\nCNBC, shower, coffee, email. Quick breakfast, $10.95 (except in California, where it's $12.95. Another clue.)\nGetting there is the worst part. Flying is an endless accumulation of indignities. Airlines learned their human factors from hospitals. I've adapted my routine to minimize hassles. \nPark in the same level of the same ramp. Check in at the less-used kiosks in the transit level. Check my bag so I don't have to fuck around with the overhead bins. I'd rather dawdle at the carousel than drag the thing around the terminal anyway.\nAlways the frequent flyer line at the security checkpoint. Sometimes there's an airline person at the entrance of that line to check my boarding pass, sometimes not. An irritation. I'd rather it was always, or never. Sometimes means I don't know if I need my boarding pass out or not.\nSame words to the TSA agent.  Standard responses. \"Doing fine,\" whether I am or not.  Same belt.  It's gone through the metal detector every time. I don't need to take it off.\nOnly... today, something is different. Instead of my bags trundling through the x-ray machine, she stops the belt.  Calls over another agent, a palaver. Another agent flocks to the screen. A gabble, a conference, some consternation.\nThey pull my laptop, my new laptop making its first trip with me, out of the flow of bags. One takes me aside to a partitioned cubicle. Another of the endless supply of TSA agents takes the rest of my bags to a different cubicle. No yellow brick road here, just a pair of yellow painted feet on the floor, and my flight is boarding. I am made to understand that I should stand and wait.  My laptop is on the table in front of me, just beyond reach, like I am waiting to collect my personal effects after being paroled.\nI'm standing, watching my laptop on the table, listening to security clucking just behind me. \"There's no drive,\" one says. \"And no ports on the back. It has a couple of lines where the drive should be,\" she continues.\nA younger agent, joins the crew. I must now be occupying ten, perhaps twenty, percent of the security force. At this checkpoint anyway. There are three score more at the other five checkpoints. The new arrival looks at the printouts from x-ray, looks at my laptop sitting small and alone. He tells the others that it is a real laptop, not a \"device\". That it has a solid-state drive instead of a hard disc. They don't know what he means. He tries again, \"Instead of a spinning disc, it keeps everything in flash memory.\" Still no good. \"Like the memory card in a digital camera.\" He points to the x-ray, \"Here. That's what it uses instead of a hard drive.\"\nThe senior agent hasn't been trained for technological change. New products on the market? They haven't been TSA approved. Probably shouldn't be permitted. He requires me to open the \"device\" and run a program. I do, and despite his inclination, the lead agent decides to release me and my troublesome laptop.  My flight is long gone now, so I head for the service center to get rebooked.\nBehind me, I hear the younger agent, perhaps not realizing that even the TSA must obey TSA rules, repeating himself.\n\"It's a MacBook Air.\" \n","saved":"2008-03-06T19:25:16Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"29a8198d022f10df49a091416b5813cf","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/366e28681269/","kind":"page"},

Pretty simple right? It was, until we noticed a bunch of weird character encoding issues on the staging site.\n\n\n\nIt turned out that while the database tables were set to a Latin-1 (latin1), the content that populated those tables was encoded as UTF-8 (utf8). A variety of attempts to fix this failed, but what succeeded was as follows:\n\n\nExport the data as Latin-1. Because MySQL knows that the table is already using a Latin-1 encoding, it will do a straight export of the data without trying to convert the data to another character set. If you try to export as UTF-8, MySQL appears to attempt to convert the (supposedly) Latin-1 data to UTF-8 - resulting in double encoded characters (since the data was actually already UTF-8).\nChange the character set in the exported data file from ‘latin1′ to ‘utf8′. Since the dumped data was not converted during the export process, it’s actually UTF-8 encoded data.\nCreate your new table as UTF-8 If your CREATE TABLE command is in your SQL dump file, change the character set from ‘latin1′ to ‘utf8′.\nImport your data normally. Since you’ve got UTF-8 encoded data in your dump file, the declared character set in the dump file is now UTF-8, and the table you’re importing into is UTF-8, everything will go smoothly.\n\nI can confirm that a half-dozen or so variations on the above do not work. This includes INSERT INTO newdb.newtable SELECT * FROM olddb.oldtable;.\n\nAlso, if you’re doing this for a WordPress1 site (like we were), keep in mind that copying over the production database will generally mean that WP-Cache is enabled. You’ll want to remember to turn that off. Yeah.  \n\n\nThis is a fairly common issue in older WordPress installs because the MySQL database default is commonly Latin-1, and older versions of WordPress did not specify the character set when creating the database tables (so they would default to Latin-1) and the default encoding in the WordPress settings is UTF-8.

Additionally, to see how indie/hip you are, you can use the \"Most obscure\" tab on the trends page to see the feeds that you subscribe to with the least number of subscribers. Just keep in mind what these numbers indicate.\n\n\nIncreased reading area: By shuffling some things around in the header area, we've managed to squeeze an additional 17 pixels of reading space for feed content. This may not seem like much, but every little bit matters when consuming hundreds of posts a day.\n\n\nBug fixes and performance improvements: We've made Reader faster to load when you have more than a thousand subscriptions. The settings page should feel perkier too. Finally, we've squashed some bugs -- most notably, bugs that prevented profiles from loading in certain cases. We also added improved keyboard navigation and fixed a problem refreshing search results.

A screen shot of the options is above - but Ive added my own fantasy third option in addition to the first two that Google announced today.  What I want to see is a flat out option for people to share some or all of their Analytics data publicly, without restriction and without anonymitiy. Were seeing startups send us this data more and more often to counter under-counting in Comscore, Alexa and other services. They say theyre more than happy to see us publish the data, so readers will understand exactly how well theyre doing. A lot of companies want this data to be public.  Transparency is a good way to gain the trust of the community, and I think Google would be surprised to see how many customers would be perfectly willing to share their analytics data publicly. The logistics of the sharing is less important - it could be done via a widget or an API, or a variety of other methods. But I believe the demand is there. All Google has to do is flip a switch.

Something they mentioned is it can seem like the individual parts can seem random as they occur and it was a good chance for them to reveal how it comes together to create a powerful set of potentials.\n\nSilverlight is a key focus of course, even more emphasized than I was expecting, but some of the develepment and creative tooling are much nicer and more powerful than I was aware of. Definitely something to look into.\n\nSilverlight 2 will be coming out with a functionally contained clr engine running ironpython, ironrube, javascript, and csharp within - and it’s targetting mac, windows, linux, and mobile. So it’s absolutely something to take seriously with a huge number of daily downloads that’s ramping up.\n\n I won’t repeat the list of guest speakers, and you can watch the keynote for yourself, but they have some huge names invested to a greater or lesser extent. Nokia for example will have silverlight mobile on their devices, doubleclick will be supporting the technology as an advertising media, aol will also be using silverlight for some aspects of their site interactivity (email at least).\n\nBut I digress!

On the other hand, we also donated to Mitt Romney's Republican primary effort -- conclude from that what you will.\n\r\n\r\nI carried four distinct impressions away from our meeting with Senator Obama.\n\r\n\r\nFirst, this is a normal guy.\n\r\n\r\nI've spent time with a lot of politicians in the last 15 years.  Most of them talk at you.  Listening is not their strong suit -- in fact, many of them aren't even very good at faking it.\n\r\n\r\nSenator Obama, in contrast, comes across as a normal human being, with a normal interaction style, and a normal level of interest in the people he's with and the world around him.\n\r\n\r\nWe were able to have an actual, honest-to-God conversation, back and forth, on a number of topics.  In particular, the Senator was personally interested in the rise of social networking, Facebook, Youtube, and user-generated content, and casually but persistently grilled us on what we thought the next generation of social media would be and how social networking might affect politics -- with no staff present, no prepared materials, no notes.  He already knew a fair amount about the topic but was very curious to actually learn more.  We also talked about a pretty wide range of other issues, including Silicon Valley and various political topics.\n\r\n\r\nWith most politicians, their curiosity ends once they find out how much money you can raise for them.  Not so with Senator Obama -- this is a normal guy.\n\r\n\r\nSecond, this is a smart guy.\n\r\n\r\nI bring this up for two reasons.  One, Senator Obama's political opponents tend to try to paint him as some kind of lightweight, which he most definitely is not.  Two, I think he's at or near the top of the scale of intelligence of anyone in political life today.\n\r\n\r\nYou can see how smart he is in his background -- for example, lecturer in constitutional law at University of Chicago; before that, president of the Harvard Law Review.\n\r\n\r\nBut it's also apparent when you interact with him that you're dealing with one of the intellectually smartest national politicians in recent times, at least since Bill Clinton.  He's crisp, lucid, analytical, and clearly assimilates and synthesizes a very large amount of information -- smart.\n\r\n\r\nThird, this is not a radical.\n\r\n\r\nThis is not some kind of liberal revolutionary who is intent on throwing everything up in the air and starting over.\n\r\n\r\nPut the primary campaign speeches aside; take a look at his policy positions on any number of issues and what strikes you is how reasonable, moderate, and thoughtful they are.\n\r\n\r\nAnd in person, that's exactly what he's like.  There's no fire in the eyes to realize some utopian or revolutionary dream.  Instead, what comes across -- in both his questions and his answers -- is calmness, reason, and judgment.\n\r\n\r\nFourth, this is the first credible post-Baby Boomer presidential candidate.\n\r\n\r\nThe Baby Boomers are best defined as the generation that came of age during the 1960's -- whose worldview and outlook was shaped by Vietnam plus the widespread social unrest and change that peaked in the late 1960's.  \n\r\n\r\nPost-Boomers are those of us, like me, who came of age in the 1970's or 1980's -- after Vietnam, after Nixon, after the \"sexual revolution\" and the cultural wars of the 1960's.\n\r\n\r\nOne of the reasons Senator Obama comes across as so fresh and different is that he's the first serious presidential candidate who isn't either from the World War II era (Reagan, Bush Sr, Dole, and even McCain, who was born in 1936) or from the Baby Boomer generation (Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Al Gore, and George W. Bush).\n\r\n\r\nHe's a post-Boomer.\n\r\n\r\nMost of the Boomers I know are still fixated on the 1960's in one way or another -- generally in how they think about social change, politics, and the government.\n\r\n\r\nIt's very clear when interacting with Senator Obama that he's totally focused on the world as it has existed since after the 1960's -- as am I, and as is practically everyone I know who's younger than 50.  \n\r\n\r\nWhat's the picture that emerges from these four impressions?\n\r\n\r\nSmart, normal, curious, not radical, and post-Boomer.\n\r\n\r\nIf you were asking me to write a capsule description of what I would look for in the next President of the United States, that would be it.\n\r\n\r\nHaving met him and then having watched him for the last 12 months run one of the best-executed and cleanest major presidential campaigns in recent memory, I have no doubt that Senator Obama has the judgment, bearing, intellect, and high ethical standards to be an outstanding president -- completely aside from the movement that has formed around him, and in complete contradition to the silly assertions by both the Clinton and McCain campaigns that he's somehow not ready.\n\r\n\r\nBefore I close, let me share two specific things he said at the time -- early 2007 -- on the topic of whether he's ready.\n\r\n\r\nWe asked him directly, how concerned should we be that you haven't had meaningful experience as an executive -- as a manager and leader of people?\n\r\n\r\nHe said, watch how I run my campaign -- you'll see my leadership skills in action.\n\r\n\r\nAt the time, I wasn't sure what to make of his answer -- political campaigns are often very messy and chaotic, with a lot of turnover and flux; what conclusions could we possibly draw from one of those?\n\r\n\r\nWell, as any political expert will tell you, it turns out that the Obama campaign has been one of the best organized and executed presidential campaigns in memory.  Even Obama's opponents concede that his campaign has been disciplined, methodical, and effective across the full spectrum of activities required to win -- and with a minimum of the negative campaigning and attack ads that normally characterize a race like this, and with almost no staff turnover.  By almost any measure, the Obama campaign has simply out-executed both the Clinton and McCain campaigns.\n\r\n\r\nThis speaks well to the Senator's ability to run a campaign, but speaks even more to his ability to recruit and manage a top-notch group of campaign professionals and volunteers -- another key leadership characteristic.  When you compare this to the awe-inspiring discord, infighting, and staff turnover within both the Clinton and McCain campaigns up to this point -- well, let's just say it's a very interesting data point.\n\r\n\r\nWe then asked, well, what about foreign policy -- should we be concerned that you just don't have much experience there?\n\r\n\r\nHe said, directly, two things.\n\r\n\r\nFirst, he said, I'm on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where I serve with a number of Senators who are widely regarded as leading experts on foreign policy -- and I can tell you that I know as much about foreign policy at this point as most of them.\n\r\n\r\nBeing a fan of blunt answers, I liked that one.\n\r\n\r\nBut then he made what I think is the really good point.\n\r\n\r\nHe said -- and I'm going to paraphrase a little here: think about who I am -- my father was Kenyan; I have close relatives in a small rural village in Kenya to this day; and I spent several years of my childhood living in Jakarta, Indonesia.  Think about what it's going to mean in many parts of the world -- parts of the world that we really care about -- when I show up as the President of the United States.  I'll be fundamentally changing the world's perception of what the United States is all about.\n\r\n\r\nHe's got my vote.\r\n\n\n     \n","saved":"2008-03-03T10:54:44Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b2b4b0f14566052ed207a7015984caef","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3dd14f83ede0/","kind":"page"},

We've got a Newbie's Guide for it, and wholly recommend it to folks who want a simple feed-reading experience. That said the product is not without its faults. Earlier today we got a pitch from a cool new service called Favorit that's definitely gunning to take some market share away from Google and other Web based RSS readers. The good news is that it's got a lot of things going for it that others do not.\n\n\nFirst things first, Favorit does all the usual things you'd expect--pulling in RSS feeds, providing a directory of new feeds, and giving you tools to share stories you like with others. But that's not what makes it different. Favorit is linked up with Disqus, a universal community discussion service we covered when it launched back in October. This means you can comment on any story on a Disqus-enabled blog right in the reader, and have it show up alongside the rest of the comments on the original story page. Compared with Google Reader, which only shows you how many comments a story has, you can actually read through comments like their own little feed--right in the reader.\n\n\nThat's not the coolest part, though. Favorit is set up like ReadBurner and Streamy to figure out what stories are hot, then promote them to a various hot topic pages. Each story features buttons to vote the content up or down, and even bothers to keeps track of how a story's been voted on. The system employs a small chart that evaluates those votes combined with user attention (time spent reading it) over the past 36 hours. If there were more users taking advantage of the service, it would be a fun way to track the timeline of how the popular stories get hot, similar to that cool DiggCharts visualization we checked out back in May (on a side note, DiggCharts is DOA).\n\n\nTrack how much interest a story's getting both in user votes and readership. A feature that would work well if more people were using the service.\n(Credit: CNET Networks)\n\nBesides the comments and popular stories, Favorit has taken a nice open approach to sharing stories with others. Like Google Reader you get your own RSS feed of shared stories. You can also add other users' shared story boxes (called \"slices\") where you can add stories you think they'd like or set it up to automatically grab stories using Boolean values--it's like setting up a smart playlist in iTunes. Additionally Favorit incorporates several popular social publishing mediums, letting you post stories straight to Twitter, WordPress, Blogger, and LiveJournal. \n\n\nWhile I found Favorit to be a little less user friendly than Google Reader when it comes to adding feeds, the reading system is off to a good start. Browsing stories is very user friendly, and Google Reader users will feel right at home with similar keyboard shortcuts and tools to discover new feeds.

I was a supporter before he ever announced his candidacy. Back then I loved his passion for people and for service to our country. I loved his candor and his openness. I loved his dedication to his faith and his family. That was a year ago. I still admire and support him for all of those reasons and so many more. A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to hear him speak in person. I heard that he would be coming to Minneapolis for a rally, and immediately logged on to his site and requested a ticket. I encouraged Kristin to do the same (okay, so I practically forced her). We were supposed to go see him several months ago when he was here, but Kristin was sick that day and we didn’t make it, so I was adamant that I would go to see him this time – with or without Kristin. This time he was coming to the Target Center – which holds 22,000 people. I was a little shocked that they decided to have it there – 22,000 is a lot of people. The doors opened at 1:30, so we decided if we were there by 1:45 we’d be fine. We arrived shortly before 2 and were directed to walk down the street to join the end of the line. As we walked we looked up at the skyway – every one we saw was full of people waiting in line. We decided against going into the warm skyway – figuring the line would be shorter outside in the cold. So we walked. One block – the line wrapped around the building. Two blocks – the line went over a bridge. Three blocks, four, five. It went down a side street and back up the other side. When we were sure it couldn’t possibly go any further, it turned and kept going. Well over a mile later, we finally found the end.\n We stood in the same spot for awhile. The wind whipped past us and the cold started to set in. Many people talked about whether to give up, walk the mile plus back, and just go home to watch it on tv or youtube later. Just when I was sure we or someone around us would make that decision the line would move a bit and slowly we made our way back up the path we had just come down. Eventually the Target Center came into view and slowly it was closer and closer.\nAfter about two hours in the cold (no coat!) we made it into the Target Center. Our fingers were stiff and toes were numb with the cold, but we were there in the building. We were immediately directed to head upstairs. We were some of the last to arrive and were seated up high in the “nosebleed” section. That was okay with me. I didn’t need to see every pore on his face – just wanted to hear him and what he had to say to those of us here in the frozen tundra of Minnesota. I know this is going to sound sappy, but when he was announced and came walking out and the amazing crowd of 20,000+ people erupted into cheers and applause tears came to my eyes, and I was completely overwhelmed with pride for our state, our country, and for this man that brought so many people from so many different backgrounds together. Black, white, Asian, Hispanic, old, young, fat, thin, rich, poor, democrat, republican, gay, straight…all brought together by this one incredible man.\nHis speech was amazing – he touched on things important to the nation like security and health care as well as things important to Minnesotans like Paul Wellstone. He has done extremely well in the primaries and caucuses and continues to gain momentum each day.\nWhy do I like Obama more than Clinton? His fresh look on how to get things done, his hopeful yet honest outlook on the future of this country, his solutions to the problems our country faces, his lack of “real” Washington political experience, and most of all, his ability to bring so many people from all different backgrounds together. Barack Obama is the first candidate of any kind to get donations from me. He is the first candidate I’ve gone to see in person. He is the first candidate that has truly inspired me.\nNo matter how the election turns out, I know he will change the world. As we were walking to find the end of the line that day a few weeks ago, two older men were walking ahead of us. One turned to the other after walking for over ½ mile and said “this is what change is.” Amen, my friend.\n","saved":"2008-02-27T03:45:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"daa4430dc22da02822c42200392135a9","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ea540f7f333e/","kind":"page"},

They could say which ones they would like to attend, which would cause them to be scheduled so most people did not have conflicts, and so they would be in rooms of approximately the right size.  If noone wanted to come, they could be cancelled or merged.  It would be fun to see CI in action at a Foo Camp of the future ..\n\n\n\nJohn\n\n\n\n \n\n","saved":"2008-02-27T00:04:46Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"37cd46cf08cbc344d971e77d3c1f3827","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/54a2eb071b25/","kind":"page"},

The regular contributors are mostly predictable, and spew venom rather than articulate thoughts. I religiously read the lead-ins in the daily email summary. They typically make me laugh. I don’t know whether the author picks the particular sentence or paragraph, or the editors do (I suspect it’s the editors).\n\nYesterday (Sunday), Frank Rich had his usual hate-filled opinion piece. I don’t have the summary email in front of me, but I’m pretty sure the lead-in was this:\n\nThe Clinton camp has been the slacker in this race, more words than action, and its candidate’s message, for all its purported high-mindedness, was and is self-immolating.\n\nWhen I read that lead-in out loud to Lois, she asked me to read the entire op-ed to her, as she refuses to register at the NYT site, even though it’s free.  \n\nI admit to being too lazy to check now (this isn’t a normal Political Blog, so please forgive me!), but in the past, I believe that Frank Rich was a supporter of the Clintons. I know that hasn’t been true for a while, but this piece is an interesting hatchet job. Why?\n\nRather than just make the points that he makes (many of them are excellent, and the entire piece is extremely well written), he has to not only bash Bush (his favorite activity), but he has to ensure that anyone who hates Bush must now hate Hillary as well, since, according to him, they are now one and the same creature…\n\nI wasn’t going to blog about it even though it amused me. Then, this morning, I read this opinion by Geraldine Ferraro. After reading, I couldn’t resist sharing a few thoughts, so why not throw in the Frank Rich opinion as well.  \n\nHere was the lead-in that got me to read her entire op-ed:\n\nSuperdelegates were created to lead, not to follow. They\nwere, and are, expected to determine what is best for the\nDemocratic Party and best for the country.\n\nAn interesting premise. I have no idea whether that’s true or not, so I decided to read on. It seems to start off accusing the party of having been populated by cowards (my word, not hers!) previous to the brilliant stroke of creating superdelegates.\n\nMost of the points that she makes are laughable, but in the spirit of not making this a mega-post (I know, most of mine are, like it or not), I’ll pick on a few. Here is the first:\n\nBesides, the delegate totals from primaries and caucuses do not necessarily reflect the will of rank-and-file Democrats. Most Democrats have not been heard from at the polls. We have all been impressed by the turnout for this year’s primaries — clearly both candidates have excited and engaged the party’s membership — but, even so, turnout for primaries and caucuses is notoriously low. It would be shocking if 30 percent of registered Democrats have participated.\n\nWhere to begin? First, “Most Democrats have not been heard from at the polls.” So, those that don’t bother to go to the polls somehow prefer the elites of the party to make decisions for them, in particular, over-riding the wishes of those that did go to the polls? Could it be that those that don’t go to the polls weren’t active in electing the elites that Geraldine now claims have a responsibility to those same Democrats?\n\nHere’s the next paragraph:\n\nIf that is the case, we could end up with a nominee who has been actively supported by, at most, 15 percent of registered Democrats. That’s hardly a grassroots mandate.\n\nSo, by her own admission, turnout is greater now than in most years. Sure, this race is closer, but let’s do some napkin math. She claims that 15% does not a grassroots mandate make. Other than in a year when everyone else drops out (think Kerry in 2004), even a wide margin in delegates would likely be at most something like 75-25% (and that’s likely a stretch, or the second candidate would likely have dropped out).\n\nIf in that year, the turnout was more normal, it would be below 30%, perhaps significantly. In that case, the wide-margin victor would have less than 19% of the purported registered Democratic votes (75% of the 25% turnout). Should the superdelegates rush in to save the day? After all, the few idiots that turned out to the polls might be wrong…\n\nThis next paragraph was the middle one in a string of three related ones:\n\nIn the Democratic primary in South Carolina, tens of thousands of Republicans and independents no doubt voted, many of them for Mr. Obama. The same rules prevail at the Iowa caucuses, in which Mr. Obama also triumphed.\n\nSo, a candidate that can excite both parties (plus independents), what a horror, better get the party elite to wipe out that kind of across-the-aisle sentiment! Or, perhaps, her intended point is that Republicans and Independents crossed over to vote for Obama just to ensure that Hillary wouldn’t be the candidate, and that they have no intention of voting for Obama come election day. Who knows, as she doesn’t say!\n\nNo matter, Obama topped Hillary in South Carolina by 145,000 votes, so he crushed her, even if Geraldine’s assumptions about non-Democrats are correct. But, who cares about those Democrats anyway…\n\nThen this:\n\nPerhaps because I have endorsed Mrs. Clinton, I have noticed that most of the people complaining about the influence of the superdelegates are supporters of Mr. Obama. I can’t help thinking that their problem with the superdelegates may not be that they’re “unrepresentative,” but rather that they are perceived as disproportionately likely to support Mrs. Clinton.\n\nHuh? Is this an admission that they aren’t representative, or is it just a put-down of people who feel that Obama is legitimately creaming her? It might be a smaller turnout than Geraldine likes (even though it’s a larger turnout than usual), but Obama has now won 11 straight primaries/caucases, some by incredible margins. Where are all of the supporters for Hillary that weren’t turning out earlier, because they thought she was the inevitable candidate, but now know that without their vote, she’s toast?\n\nNow we get this:\n\nAnd I am watching, with great disappointment, people whom I respect in the Congress who endorsed Hillary Clinton — I assume because she was the leader they felt could best represent the party and lead the country — now switching to Barack Obama with the excuse that their constituents have spoken.\n\nReally? It couldn’t possibly be that both Hillary and Bill have blown up in public so many times that it seems statistically unlikely to be an anomaly, and those same superdelegates have legitimately changed their minds on Hillary’s ability to lead the country? Not only does Geraldine know better than grassroots Democrats, now she knows better than superdelegates who switch from Hillary to Barack.\n\nThe hit parade continues:\n\nBut if they are actually upset over the diminished clout of rank-and-file Democrats in the presidential nominating process, then I would love to see them agitating to force the party to seat the delegates elected by the voters in Florida and Michigan. In those two states, the votes of thousands of rank-and-file party members will not be counted because their states voted on dates earlier than those authorized by the national party.\n\nThis one really makes me laugh, sorry, while I pause and catch my breath. So, the same party officials who are clever enough to give themselves superdelegate status, and know better than ordinary folks, should now be ignored (until the convention, of course). After all, who made the rules to not count the Florida and Michigan votes? Which candidates promised to honor that decision, and which candidate (singular!) went back on that promise?\n\nGeraldine is so worried about disenfranchising those voters. She also points out that Hillary won those two states handily. Of course, she conveniently forgets to point out that the candidates all agreed not to campaign in those states. So, she wins (for whatever reasons), and now the other candidates, who might have won had they campaigned, should just accept the will of the people (of course, only if/when the will of the people selects Hillary). Simply amazing logic.\n\nThe bottom line is that Geraldine Ferraro has a distaste and disregard for people who want to exercise their democratic right to vote. Why not come out and say what’s really on her mind? Namely: everyone should stay home and let us leaders anoint the next nominee, since we clearly know better than the rest of you!\n\nIt amuses me that this is happening to the all-inclusive Democrats, when they could only wish this was happening to the demonic Republicans…\n\n\nTags: Comedy, Politics\n\nRelated posts\n\nThe New York Times Makes Me Laugh (0)\nMeaningless Opinions (0)\nBarack Obama Kennedy (0)\nPresidential Candidates Three (0)\nOld Shoes (0)\n","saved":"2008-02-25T18:25:54Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"acebeb9ab052cf94237cd276f5efad6c","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e0ebd609f7e2/","kind":"page"},

Googles new API allows you to generate the maps using a regular URL (ala REST) along with parameters specifying location, size, etc and it returns a unique GIF image with that map. We have created a Static Maps API profile with the details. Here are some notes from their announcement:   The Google Static Maps API returns a GIF-format image in response to a HTTP request via a URL. For each request, you can specify the location of the map, the size of the image, the zoom level, the type of map, and the placement of optional markers at locations on the map. You can additionally label your markers using alpha characters, so that you can refer to them in a key.  You embed a Static Maps API image within a webpage inside an img tags src attribute. When the webpage is displayed, the browser requests the image from the the Static Maps API and it renders within the image location.        A few other details of note:   Usage: A Google Static Maps API query request looks like the following and takes parameters like size (width and height in pixels), zoom-level, type (roadmap or mobile), and any marker placements: http://maps.google.com/staticmap?parameters  Usage limits: Theres a query limit of 1000 unique image requests per user per day. For developers that may expect to hit this limit the best strategy is to use a caching mechanism to store generated images on their own servers. API key: The only requirement to use the API is to sign-up for an API key, which works for both this as well as the standard Google Maps API. Google offers a wizard to help walk you through the process of creating a Static Maps map.

There are four themes in the club and all new members will get the four themes and twelve more over the next 12 months. Now from a users’ perspective, if you like his work, the nominal charge is a good deal for 16 new themes and considering his promotion methods and the quality of his work, I believe he will do well. The themes include support and do not require attribution for use on multiple domains.\n\nUse the code weblogtoolscollection2873ry (good for 500 signups, another 500 will be added as soon as these are used up so that everyone gets a chance) and signup at the following link.

I've been sitting on boards for almost 20 years and I've seen a lot. I've seen some of the best board members in action and have tried to copy them. I've seen some of the worst board members in action and have tried hard to forget them.\n\n\nHere are some thoughts on choosing board members. This advice is for everyone, but it's of particular use when you are a bigger company, maybe public, and need to fill your board with good people.\n\n\nAvoid \"big names\" For the most part, they are useless. \n\nSelect people who will attend each and every meeting, who will pay close attention to the business\n\nSelect people who have an affinity for your business, who understand your challenges and your opportunities\n\nAvoid putting someone you can control on your board. In tough situations they will have a fiduciary duty to do what's right and you won't be able to control them when it matters most to you.\n\nDon't let conflicts get in the way of selecting the ideal board member. Conflicts will be disclosed and can be managed. Many times the people who will understand your business best are conflicted in some way. There are ways to deal with this problem.\n\nMake sure to have an experienced accountant/auditor on your board and have them run the audit committee. That is no place for amateurs.\n\nMake sure to have at least two or three CEOs of comparable companies on your board. Make sure they are on the comp committee. Compensation issues are best handled by people who understand the talent market.\n\nSelect people who have the time to do the job right. Being a board member is a job. It's not a retirement perk. If someone cannot commit to attend each and every meeting and to spend at least several hours a week on your company, they are not the right choice.\n\nSelect people who will get along with each other. The very best boards I am on are friendly social active groups. Serious business doesn't have to be stilted and formal. It can and should be fun.\n\nAbove all else, look for great judgment and ethics.\n\nHope that helps.","saved":"2008-02-24T12:55:21Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"1575bbd57386dbe3809bdd49c74cce67","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1ad6893a00b4/","kind":"page"},

The only problem is that finding quality photos to use can be difficult. Bloggers end up going with one of three options: stealing, buying, or using Creative Commons licensed photos. Now, that third option just got easier with the introduction of the Photo Dropper WordPress plugin. This new plugin searches flickr for Creative Commons licensed photos for you to add to your WordPress blog.\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are millions of Creative Commons photos in flickr's database, but finding the right one can take time. The new Photo Dropper plugin simplifies the process by adding a panel to the \"Write Post\" screen that allows you to search flickr's database for Creative Commons photos. \n\n\nAfter entering in your keyword and clicking \"search,\" the plugin will return photos from flickr matching your search terms. Underneath each photo are four links. Three links, \"S\", \"M\", and \"L\", allow you to post that size photo into your blog. The fourth link will open the flickr page in a new window, so you can double-check the licensing requirements if necessary.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe photo which is placed into your blog automatically has text appended underneath it that says \"photo credit\" and links to the user who is licensing the photo. The small Creative Commons logo precedes the text as well.\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto Dropper also offers an option for commercial users. In the Options section, they can check the \"commercial\" check box to exclude photos whose license contains a non-commercial limitation.\n\n\nYou can download Photo Dropper for free from here.","saved":"2008-02-22T19:15:46Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"93b9204882f3a99a6483c8c165d7200e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f8eb94ec38ee/","kind":"page"},

And On.","note":"News Corp. has essentially planted four or five deal guys at Yahoo HQ, working directly with Yahoo business development to try to find a deal to combine MySpace and Yahoo that both sides can swallow. The News Corp. team is led by Jack Kennedy, Fox Interactive Medias EVP Strategy and Corporate Development, says a source with knowledge of the discussions. According to another source, the team was as Yahoo again on Wednesday, and has been there most of the last two weeks.\n\nWe reported on what the bid might look like on February 12:\n\nAccording to our source, the deal structure would spin off Fox Interactive Media (the primary asset is MySpace, but IGN, Scout Media, Photobucket, Fox Sports, AmericanIdol.com, Flektor, Ksolo; plus investments in Hulu, Simply Hired and Snocap are also assets of FIM) into Yahoo, along with a big cash injection from News Corp. and an unnamed private equity fund. The total investment would be valued at around $15 billion.\n\nYahoo would be valued at somewhere around $50 billion before the transaction, north of Microsofts $44.6 billion bid. That would leave News Corp., plus the private equity group, with more than 20% of the combined entity. Theyd be the largest single stockholder and effectively in control of the combined Yahoo/FIM entity and their nearly 150 billion monthly page views (which would be second only to Google).\n\nAs far as we know the potential deal structure hasnt changed, and they are still hung up on how to make the merger work without getting Google involved to take on search marketing. The team was expecting Microsoft to up its bid last week, forcing the Yahoo board to make a move. But Microsoft is taking things directly to shareholders, a time consuming move. That gives News Corp. more time to get their deal to pencil out.\n\nIts possible that at the end of this ordeal well see a Yahoo/MySpace combined company, with News Corp. as the biggest shareholder.  But to do that these guys need to pull the trigger on a bid. Its time to make a move, or fly back to LA.\n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchBoard because its time for you to find a new Job2.0","saved":"2008-02-21T10:56:18Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e3e89e0e6d4302087bc4753b4d172713","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/563c5a203549/","kind":"page"},

It was the best day in Backpack’s history — even better than the last big update in July ‘07 and add anywhere in Oct ‘07.\n\n\n\nWe usually don’t share numbers, but we thought we’d break tradition and give people a peek into Backpack’s signups, upgrades, and financial performance yesterday.\n\n\n\n317 Upgrades\n\nYesterday 317 people upgraded their Backpack accounts. This includes free → paying upgrades and paying → paying upgrades. Here’s how they broke out:\n\n\n\n\n2 Max ($149/month)\n1 Premium ($99/month)\n12 Plus ($49/month)\n54 Basic ($24/month)\n111 Home ($12/month)\n137 Solo ($7/month)\n\n\n\n61 New Pay Signups\n\nYesterday 61 people signed up for new paying plans. This means they selected a pay plan on the signup page. Here’s how it broke out:\n\n\n\n\n1 Max ($149/month)\n1 Premium ($99/month)\n13 Plus ($49/month)\n26 Basic ($24/month)\n11 Home ($12/month)\n9 Solo ($7/month)\n\n\n\nWe had about 200 new free signups as well, so about 30% of all signups yesterday were pay signups.\n\n\n\n$4,131 New Net\n\nUpgrades + pay signups – downgrades – cancellations = $4131 new net revenue for yesterday. On an annualized basis that’s about $50,000/year. We’re very happy with that number.\n\n\n\nThanks to all our paying customers for putting your trust in us. We hope you continue to find the new Backpack useful and valuable. We’re already finding it invaluable in keeping our own company organized (and, man, do we need it).\n\n  \n","saved":"2008-02-20T16:03:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"43fec9616c613447797bb73d9dfdfa07","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b07eb08191e4/","kind":"page"},

Good engineers paired with what was, effectively, free broad band and lower wages, India held great potential.  \n\nTo a limited extent, that potential was realized:  Large enterprise software development projects — those ERP projects/implementations with armies of undifferentiated developers that consultancies sell to giant multinationals — fit well into this model because the physical distance, the many time-zones that separate the participants, and the language difficulties could be overcome by enormous specifications, volumes of documentation, and Process with a capital-P.   \n\nHowever, companies whose product is software — and this point is critical, i.e., places were software was not a side-effect, were it was not used to support the  business, but where bytes were the business (whether installed software or web based) — did not generally succeed in India.  \n\nFor these folks, all of the front-loaded specification work and the delays in communications that a dozen time-zone bring, cause the process to fall down.  You can’t build software this way when software is your product.  I won’t attempt to provide a comprehensive explanation of why, deferring instead to 20+ years of research and literature, exemplified by The Mythical Man Month. \n\nEnter Minnesota\nWe, Minnesotans, have had success building software-as-the-product.  It’s illustrated by the examples above and from home-grown success stories like Digital River.  \n\nOur culture that values engineers.  We have institutions to nurture them.  We are a wired state, as evidenced by Popular Science when they recognized the metro area as the Top Tech City. \n\nDeveloper salaries are at least a third lower in Minnesota than on the coastal tech centers.  All in, fully loaded, it costs less than half as much to build software here as on the coasts.\n\nAlso, we’re at most two time zones or a few hours flight away.  I am, in fact, writing this from an airplane on my way to New York, where I’ll be putting the theme of this essay into practice:  \n\nFor the last few years, I’ve largely made my living building new software products/services for established coastal companies.\nTheir examples illustrate the sweet-spot in the market that we should target to draw software companies into Minnesota:\n\nSweet Suite Spot\nMy clients are venture backed companies transitioning from “emerging” to “established” status.  Their stories follow a similar pattern:\n\nThe company is founded/funded to produce a narrowly-targeted piece of software.  They succeed, building a “best of breed” application in an emerging space.  As the broader market that their product lives in matures, buying-behavior changes: people move from buying best-of-breed applications to buying a suite of applications.  \n\nAn “historic” example of this is the office-application suites.  Recall that the choice used to be “Wordperfect vs. Word,” followed by a later choice of “Lotus 1-2-3 vs. Excel.” \n\nWhen a company emerge as a market leader, with stand-alone best-of-breed product, only to find the market moving towards buying suites then they very quickly need to flesh out the empty pieces in their roster.  They will license other people’s products to fill the gaps where they can and they’ll build the rest.\n\nIn the office-suite space we’ll examine the winner: Microsoft bought PowerPoint and developed Excel.\n\nThere’s a certain unsubtle difference to building out the suite vs. building a new idea in a virgin space:  You’ve got a crib:  your competitor has done the work to test out what works in a word processor and what doesn’t, so your job is a bit easier.  \n\nBut it turns our that building out a suite turns out to be very nearly impossible for companies at this (or any) stage.  It took the collective total of their entire engineering team arrive at this point; it’s impossible for them to double down and develop new products with their fully utilized existing team. \n\nAt this point, it becomes a balance sheet issue: they need to fill in their suites at minimal cost.   \n\nTo these folks I say, “Enjoy Minnesota! It’s all here.”  We’ve got the talent and we’re affordable.  \n\nWe can build on our success stories.  They won’t come to us, but we can actively recruit these businesses.  Identifying them won’t be hard.  It’ll take a directed, block-and-tackle sales job pairing the incentives that state’s economic development policy makers can offer with folks like me to literally drive the message home, door-to-door, in Silicon Valley and get these companies here.  \n","saved":"2008-01-11T01:00:05Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a57706baeaa23bd87af8bc1e2625a028","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b51d115d6138/","kind":"page"},

In the past few years, more and more of my developer friends have started talking about “going indie.” That is, going out on their own to develop, market, support, and profit from their own software. Many years ago, while I was working at Apple, the notion of striking out on one’s own was not even on the table for most developers I knew. \n\n\nI met Peter Bierman in 1994 or so, while I was a contract quality tester at Apple, in the System 7.5 team. I was 19 and finishing college. Peter was a young intern. Together, we were by far the youngest people in our department, and among the youngest people either of us knew in the entire company. We had Apple fever, and the future stretched out as far as we could see, working in the safe and exhilarating comfort of those corporate walls.\n\n\n\nI didn’t meet Jens Alfke until much later, though his name was familiar to me because he had been the author of a piece of software called Antler Notes, which Apple had acquired and was including in the forthcoming 7.5 release. Today, you know it as Stickies. Over the years that followed, Jens played greater and lesser roles inside Apple. He left for a while, came back. Developed iChat. Developed Safari RSS. You know, little things here and there, that hardly have any impact on the Mac experience.\n\n\n\nIn those old days when going indie seemed like such an unlikely goal for the future, people did still leave Apple. Even happy people, who loved Apple, and wanted to see it prosper. At that time it was far more likely however for people to leave the company to join a startup venture. Startups were widly popular. After all, this was the dawn of the dot-com boom. So several of my Apple developer friends ended up shipping off to companies who promised big IPOs and the opportunity to be a big fish in a small pond.\n\n\n\nGoing indie provides the opportunity to be a very big fish in a very, very small pond. In fact, the only way to extend the metaphor successfully is that as a new indie entrepreneur, you’re going out on a limb, hoping that you’ll find a pond even big enough to support yourself and your family. You might roll around in muddy shallows from time to time, gasping for air and hoping for rain, but in any case, you’re the big fish and at least you run the show.\n\n\n\nWithin the past week, both Peter Bierman and Jens Alfke, two long-time Apple employees and passionate Mac developers, have decided to become big fish in their own ponds. They’ve gone indie.\n\n\n\nPeter Bierman: I’m leaving Apple to start my own Co.\n\n\n\nJens Alfke: I’ve left Apple, and I’m now working on my own.\n\n\n\nWhat? Did these guys get together and coordinate this? I don’t think so. The fever is running rampant through the Mac community, and people are catching it everywhere, including inside Apple. I know at least two other people personally, who work at cushy jobs in multi-billion-dollar companies, who are also threatening (read: building up determination) to strike out on their own.\n\n\n\nAs an Apple aficionado and stockholder, it concerns me to some extent that Apple is losing such qualified developers, and that they may be poised to lose even more as the fever spreads. I suspect that the draw of indie living has only barely scratched the surface at companies like Apple, where currently only the most ambitious and free-spirited individuals are leaving the nest. In the coming months and years, I expect to send congratulatory notes to other of my past colleagues, and I further expect that many qualified people who I’ve never met are also at this time making up their mind that it’s time for a new adventure. What will Apple do without all these amazing people?\n\n\n\nThe good news is not everybody is cut out for the indie life. A great number of Apple’s amazing employees are perfectly content to continue cranking away on the next super-fabulous Apple thingy. In fact, the vast majority of people I worked with ten years ago, are still employed in Cupertino. Furthermore, while Apple may lose a person here or there to the indie life, there are plenty of people knocking on the door, eager to get their chance to “live inside the castle.”\n\n\n\nBut most importantly of all, those individuals who leave Apple, and choose to develop Mac software on their own, aren’t really leaving Apple. We’re a major component of Apple’s success. Just ask anybody who’s ever been converted to the Mac because of an amazing indie offering. As I quipped on Jens’s blog, all of us who develop for and promote software on the Mac are working for the “biggest Apple team of all.”\n\n\n\nWelcome to the indie team, Peter and Jens!\n","saved":"2008-01-10T18:36:37Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b299aeaf522ff687d743aca3d6c44420","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/43d26ce01e62/","kind":"page"},

You don't have to have a degree in formal logic to deduce that work to improve life on shared hosting is not exactly a top priority for these people, myself included.\n\n\nThat's not a value judgement. It's not saying that shared hosting is bad or evil. It's simply saying that the Rails contributors generally don't use it. By extension, it's not something that we are personally invested in solving as a traditional \"scratch your own itch\" type of development.\n\n\nImprove what is for profit and fun\nI'd love for Rails to be easy as pie to run in a shared hosting environment, though. I'd love for Rails to be easy as pie to run in any environment. In that \"more people could have fun learning Rails and deploying their first hobby application\" kind of way. But I don't need it in the sense that I'm going to put in the work, personally, to make it happen.\n\n\nOthers might, though. The Dreamhost guys in particular sounds like they're experiencing a lot of hurt running Rails in their shared hosting environments. That should be a great motivator to jump in and help improve things. The work I do every day to improve Rails is usually about removing hurt. Heck, it's currently in the slogan on the Rails site: \"Web development that doesn't hurt\".\n  \nSecond, it sounds like they have a substantial economic interest in making the shared hosting scenario for Rails easier. I read that a fair number of their customers are going elsewhere because they can't get Rails to run well at Dreamhost. Before they leave, though, they probably tax the support system quite heavily as well. So there's direct costs, lost revenues, and probably also a great upside waiting if Rails ran great on their system.\n\n\nThat's both a personal motive for having a less stressful day and a profit motive for making your business more money. Sounds like a match made in heaven for someone like Dreamhost to get involved and help do the work to make Rails a great shared host experience. They might not have the man-power in-house today to make that happen, but I'm sure they could easily hire their way out of that. If the plan they want to pursue is a better mod_ruby, I'd start looking at that project for people who've contributed and ask if they'd like to earn a living improving the state of affairs.\n\n\nWe'll work with you if you're willing to work with us\nAgain, I'd love to see someone tackle this challenge and would be more than happy to work with a group pursuing this to get their results into Rails or working with Rails the best way we can. Consider that an open, standing invitation.\n\n\nIn exchange, I'll ask a few, small favors. Don't treat the current Rails community as your unpaid vendor. Wipe the wah-wah tears off your chin and retract the threats of imminent calamity if we don't drop everything we're doing to pursue your needs. Stop assuming that it's either a \"complete lack of understanding of how web hosting works, or an utter disregard for the real world\" that we're not working on issues that would benefit your business. Think of it more as we're all just working on the issues that matters most to our business or interests.\n\n\nThe alternatives\nNow if you're a user of shared hosting and you're not satisfied with the results you're getting — and you're not getting good vibes that things will be better — there are alternatives. Lots of them in fact. And it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. Self-service VPS outfits like Slice Host has plans starting at $20/month that runs Rails great (I use them to run this site). RailsMachine has a Rails-specific setup for $75/month. And for the more high-end stuff, you can get great setups from Joyent, Engine Yard, and tons of others.\n\n\nSo as a programmer looking to deploy Rails, you have tons of options in all price ranges. If you're a shared host looking to capitalize on a framework that's driving a lot of demand, it would seem that your best option is to actually get involved and help the community help you. \n","saved":"2008-01-10T05:27:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3ca92991ed9c7747441e45e69c28c55f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c5a43fe11621/","kind":"page"},

How did it differ from today’s Highrise? What aspect of it were you unhappy with, and why?\n\nThe primary problem with the first version of Highrise was that we didn’t use it ourselves. It was built on fantasy requirements of what some people might need one day. That’s an incredibly hard way to build software. And it certainly isn’t our way of building software.\n\n\n\nHere’s an early (ugly) screenshot from the initial direction. Lots of unstyled stuff, but hopefully it gives you an idea of the complexity we didn’t like.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe focus on “some people” lead us down the path of “they might also need this” and “it would probably be cool to have that”. Before we knew it, the create a new note screen had a barrage of options that needed to be set before you could post. It was too cumbersome, too slow, and surprisingly too rigid despite trying to be flexible. (The aha moment for us was contrasting the ease of getting data into Campfire vs Highrise at the time).\n\n\n\nGetting too clever with language and permissions\nWe also got lost down the rabbit hole of cleverness a few times. We wanted categories for your notes that would align to natural language. I forget the specifics exactly, but it was akin to “David has completed a phone call with Jason”. Where “phone call” would be the category. But how do you figure out what the joining words would be when the category is “fax”? “David has completed a fax with Jason” doesn’t really work. We tried too hard for too long to be clever on wording when it really doesn’t matter all that much.\n\n\n\nThe second rabbit hole was permissions. Permissions is always a deep, dark dungeon that you really would rather not venture into. But some times dragons need slaying and so we did. We started out with a ridiculously flexible system that allowed you to mix and match any number of groups and people together. You could have a note visible by “Marketing, Programming, John, and Jane”. That proved to be incredibly complex on both the implementation side and the UI side. But for a long time we couldn’t let go because we were caught up chasing edge cases.\n\n\n\nThe promises that got us back on track\nSo when we finally realized that this wasn’t going to work, we rebooted the project with a number of promises:\n\n\n\nDesign for yourself, make everyone on the team want to use Highrise—not just Jason talking to journalists, but Ryan dealing with his mechanic as well\nNot every edge case needs solving—yes, there might be a case where having both Marketing and Jane see something but not Joe, but it’s not worth the complexity of enabling that case.\nStart using the product right away—a lot of “what ifs” and “wouldn’t it be cools” just go away when you actually start using something and discover what really matters.\n\nAs you can see, these lessons are nothing new. We’ve been preaching these ideas for a long time, but living them is so much harder. When we let the core principles of Getting Real slide, not even we could produce software worth a damn.\n\n\n\nGot a question for us?\nGot a question about design, business, marketing, etc? We’re happy to try to provide some insight into how we’d tackle the problem. Just email svn [at] 37signals dot com with the subject “Ask 37signals”.

It’s worth a look.\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd let’s play some catchup: Here are summaries (posted by others) of a couple of Jason’s 2007 conference presentations…\n\n\n\n2007 MIMA Summit Wrap Up mentions red flag words like need, can’t, easy, just, only, etc.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe afternoon Keynote was an eye opening look into a new way of working: silent. The guys at 37signals have found out that talking to each other is a big productivity killer. To help fix this, they have days where no one is allowed to talk. Their example was to think of it like sleeping. If you constantly get interrupted, you never get a good night sleep. Work is the same way. By being silent and only communicating via IM or email, you are more apt to get into the zone and crank out more quality work in a shorter amount of time.\n\n\n\nAnother tip was to avoid meetings as they can be toxic. Some meetings can be an hour long, but really, the meeting could be 15-20 minutes and have the same outcome. It seems people are more apt to fill the time than have shorter meetings.\n\n\n\nI have to say, Jason had some great ideas. I’m not convinced that they’d work out for all companies, but there was one take away that I can start doing today; and that’s avoiding “red flag” words. Words such as need, can’t, easy, just, only and fast are all words that don’t come across well in communication as it means you’re making assumptions.\n\n\n\n“We just need this one feature.” “It should be easy to just add one more thing.” “Let’s do it fast and get it done with.”\n\n\n\nThese types of statements make it appear as if the sender is assuming that the receiver’s job is simple. The receiver may feel insulted or under-appreciated. Avoiding those “red flag” words can help out communication quite a bit. I know I’m going to print them out and do my best to try and avoid them.\n\n\n\n\n\nJason Fried: Say No More sums up the Mossberg/Fried interview at The Business Innovation Factory.\n\n\n\nMossberg began by saying they weren’t going to be talking about technology, but it quickly became clear that he meant they weren’t going to talk about technology from a technical standpoint. Instead, Mossberg focused on what Fried knows best: what makes technology good. Anyone who has read anything from 37Signals can guess Fried’s answer: simplicity.\n\n\n\nFried introduced 37Signals as a company that makes software for small businesses, but quickly corrected himself, “We don’t really think of it as software,” he said, “we think of it as tools to get things done.” 37Signals focuses on the simplest way to solve a problem and then “gets out of the way,” said Fried. The problem with traditional software is that it often gets in the way. It gets complicated, bloated, and hard to use.\n\n\n\nThe reason, argued Jason, is that the software industry is structured to build crap (borrowing the term Mossberg used to describe Outlook). Software is designed to make money on new versions shipped every year or so, and in order to convince users to keep upgrading developers feel pressure to add new features. 37Signals, on the other hand, offers its software over the web as a service. When people are paying a monthly fee, the company can release updates on a continuous basis and focus on making things work as simply as possible, rather than adding more features.\n\n\n\nAlways the skeptic, Mossberg didn’t buy it. How do you balance your mantra of simplicity with demands of self selected vocal customers who want more, he asked. How do you avoid feature creep?\n\n\n\nEchoing a post he made on his company’s blog this morning, Fried said that good software needs editors. The same way a museum needs a curator or a writer needs an editor, software development too demands a leader with a clear voice who is willing to say, “no.” “You have to be a hard ass,” said Fried. 37Signals is what Fried calls an “opinionated company.” They believe in their way of doing things, and users who agree with those ideas will have a great time using their software. Another company built in this mold is Apple.\n\n\n\n“But Steve Jobs is a dictator,” said Mossberg of the comparison to Apple. “And I love that,” said Fried. “I think it’s unbelievably fantastic.”\n\n\n\nIn their book Getting Real, 37Signals talks about making software for a core group of customers. “The customer is not always right,” they write. “The truth is you have to sort out who’s right and who’s wrong for your app.” The number one person who is right for you app is you, the developer. If you’re not making software that you would use, and is built with your vision in mind, then the software will suffer because as a result. As Fried told the crowd here, “Fundamentally, people need to say no more.”\n\n\n\n\n  \n","saved":"2008-01-09T16:04:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"84bbe0d6fc7400ddb7b1ea68fb2dd19a","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6814cac285b4/","kind":"page"},

But even that's too generous. A more accurate headline: \"Regular Radio Screwed, With Or Without HD Radio\".That's because even if HD Radio succeeds -- meaning that you, some you know, or someone you've heard of ends up listening to HD Radio at some point -- it won't help CBS, Clear Channel (CCU) and the rest of conventional radio industry solve its fundamental problem: Competition for listeners' attention from the standard litany of new distractions: Internet, satellite, games, iPods, etc.HD Radio - which isn't actually in \"high definition\" - is supposed to sound better, but the main attraction to broadcasters is that it lets them jam extra channels into your receiver. Theoretically, that will let them diversify their programming and give listeners more choice. But more channels don't mean more revenue, because the number of listeners doesn't increase. In a best-case scenario, HD Radio just slows down the erosion of radio's base.Update: Fred Wilson, who's an investor in HD Radio developer iBiquity, says that HD is great and that when your car, iPod or iPhone comes with HD built in, \"consumers will be able to tap into the thousands of new free radio channels that have been launched using HD technology in the past couple years. And when they do that, they'll see how great digital radio is.\"But digital radio better be pretty awesome. As Fred noted earlier in the week, his kids have long abandoned conventional radio for their MP3s:The only time they listen to radio is when we have it on in the car for short rides. If its a long ride, we almost always plug in the iPod and theyll take turns DJing. Jessica is an amazing DJ if I may say so myself. She has mastered the art of gracefully moving from The Beatles, to the Arctic Monkeys, to some obscure new band Ive never heard of and not miss a beat. In my generation, shed have been working the high school or college radio station. Now shes more likely to start an mp3 blog.","saved":"2008-01-09T15:51:04Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"976b39458c37448c9585b8e300660e39","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5c23199cfe33/","kind":"page"},

The team over a CrunchGear did a good job under the circumstances live blogging Bill Gates and others from Microsoft as they spoke on stage, but its a speech no one is yet seriously telling the truth about.\n\nThe Microsoft keynote at CES sucked.\n\nSucked is not a word I usually throw around with glee abandon, but after sitting through the live stream on the Microsoft site that insisted that I had to install Silverlight to watch it, my only reaction at the end was to yawn. And from what I can gather from the crowd, the CrunchGear chat room and Twitter, I wasnt alone.\n\nWas Bill Gates to blame? Its always awe inspiring to see the second richest man alive on stage, a man that has created so much and who has literally shaped the digital history of the world, and yet the best presenter with an empty hat cant make rabbits magically appear.\n\nThere were some interesting announcements. Silverlight will get a big boost from the tie-in with NBCs Olympics coverage, and the image recognition demonstration towards the end was cool tech wise, particularly with the tie-in to Windows Live 3D Maps (still the best product on the market), even if the demo unit looked like a radar gun, or a copy of War and Peace. The digital roast of Bill Gates with video of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama was probably the highlight in terms of fun, but thats about it.\n\nWe saw a demonstration of Windows Live Events, a service that was launched last year; amazing, they all sync in together, just like most of Microsofts other competitors. Bill Gates demoed Surface, one very cool Microsoft product, but he showed how you can design a snow board with your hands.let me say that there were no shortages of WTFs on Twitter and the CrunchGear Live chat room at that stage.\n\nThere was a demonstration of Microsofts Sinksorry Sync product in Fords. Wow, an MP3 player that hardly anyone owns works in a car that most people wish they didnt own once they buy one (and Id note, the last comment is from experience.)\n\nApparently the XBox 360 made more in sales money wise than the Wii, but what they didnt add is because the Wii is a whole lot cheaper.\n\nIts hard to cover the rest, it was as passionate as a dead wet fish, and about as interesting visually as a Podtech video.\n\nThe big question is how, in 2008, have we come to a point that Microsoft is so bereft of new ideas and innovation that what was once the most important keynote speech of the year turned out to be a complete dog? Its not for a lack of good people, there are many in Microsoft doing a great job, and theres even some good technology and products being created (Silverlight and Windows Live Maps being two examples) and to those people I say dont take this personally, its not personal, its just that if people dont have anything interesting to say, theyre better off not getting on stage and making us yawn. Ill be in San Francisco for the Steve Jobs keynote at Macworld next week and I doubt that Ill be writing a similar post.\n\nFor those who watched or listened to the keynote, what did you think?\nCrunch Network:  CrunchBoard because its time for you to find a new Job2.0","saved":"2008-01-07T09:51:50Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3c5b078ea470c08990de0fd3bb5c59ae","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/36b32ee9b7c2/","kind":"page"},

The “fully immersed” part is the key and, parroting Nat Torkington a bit, we live in an era of continuous partial attention that disrupts immersion.  So, no flow.\n\nI’d deliberately side-stepped IM and Twitter, but without consciously noticing it, I let my email and blogs reading habits — distractions on their own — to become interrupts.\n\nSo it’s time for a change.\n\nMy friend Dan Buettner — an honest to god explorer and, these days, an expert on making lifestyle change stick (see his work as longevity/life-expectancy activists) — tells me that our psychological makeup can only absorb a fixed amount of change.\n\nYou’ve got n-units of changeability that you can spread out; spread it too thin and none of it takes.\n\nGiven that, I’m keeping this simple.  For the new year I will:\n\n1. Arrange my work and leisure to be uninterrupted, or as nearly so as is possible.\n\nIn practice, this means I’ve set my email client to only check for new mail when I prompt it to do so; I’ll only check it once a day.  Similarly, I’ll only check blogs once a day and with a time limit.\n\nI tried this out over the holidays.  It was difficult to avoid the temptation to check email or see what’s new on programming.reddit.com, but after a longer-than-expected withdrawal period I found the change refreshing.\n\nWhereas before I was always running off to check my email or see what’s new in blogland, now I can code/write (during the day) or read a book (at night).\n\nHaving large, productive blocks of time is helping me achieve my second “Dan In the New Year” objective:\n\n2. Favor sleep\n\nPreviously, I’d get to the end of the day and feel unsatisfied.  One of the ways I feel satisfied when I’m creating and learning, so I’d go looking for something new to read about in blogland and, before I knew it, it’d be 1:00am.\n\nThe thing is, with this new schedule I’m still consuming the same volume of email and blogs; strangely, I can get into flow doing email or blogs as a stand-alone activity because I give it the same uninterrupted approach that I’m giving the rest of my time.\n","saved":"2008-01-02T21:40:01Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a2ad955e15e9ca1a639dbbf2ac2c1da4","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/19cf1a432e72/","kind":"page"},

Zed Shaw, who created Mongrel, a library and web server that just about everyone uses to serve rails applications, is basically a God in the Rails community. In a post today called “Rails Is A Ghetto” he tears into a number of leading Rails developers, the community in general, and a number of startups (and Google). \n\nThe post is long but highly entertaining, even to those of us outside of the core community. Basically, Zed just started a shitstorm that is going to reverberate through that community for months.\n\nMost entertaining quote: “This is exactly what makes Rails a ghetto. A bunch of half-trained former PHP morons who never bother to sit down and really learn the computer science they were too good to study in college.”\n\nAnd: “After Mongrel I couldn’t get a gang of monkeys to rape me, so forget any jobs. Sure people would contact me for their tiny little start-ups, but I’d eventually catch on that they just want to use me to implement their ideas. Their ideas were horrendously lame. I swear if someone says they’re starting a social network I’m gonna beat them with the heal of my shoe.”\n\nAnd: “Then there’s the social network idiots. They all have a social network plus something fucking stupid to sell, but of course no MBA can actually code so they come running to me. However, there’s a slight problem. You see, I have a business degree you cock suckers. If you tell me that your social network will take on facebook because it includes baby pictures then I’m going to laugh in your face. They are an established player with CIA backing. You won’t wipe them out.\n\nGoogle was a total riot. They offered me a job twice. I went with it, and they never responded. Probably because the job they were offering me—someone who’s been coding for 21 years, 15 professionally—was as a junior system administrator. What the hell does a junior sysadmin do at google? That’s probably like mopping the floor at a glory hole in Queens. I told them to review my resume and offer me a real position.”\n\nAnd (last one): “With Rails I get scrawny cock suckers with carpal tunnel syndrome talking to me like they’re gonna eat my young. Their feeble PHP infected minds can’t grasp advanced shit like objects or closures. When you combine stupid businesses with stupid people using a stupid framework based on a big fat fucking lie on a shitty platform you get the perfect storm of dumbfuck where a man like me can’t find work.”\n\nPhoto credit: James Cox.\n\nCrunch Network:  MobileCrunch Mobile Gadgets and Applications, Delivered Daily.\n","saved":"2008-01-01T18:10:59Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"57dbf3eee26de8c9131262e9e158468f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/11e857ee9a51/","kind":"page"},

Seriously, this thing does so much I broke down and bought a book...a book about a text editor. \n\n\nFusion - virtualization tool that enables me to easily do my dev on Windows and hang out in OS X the rest of the day. To be fair, I have not tried it's closest competitor, Parallels, but I have had no issues with Fusion and it supports dual processors. \n\n\nTransmit - simply the best FTP program I have ever used. I have not pulled the trigger on buying it yet, but I am getting close. Cyberduck is a really good free FTP (and open source) client for OS X. It is what I am using now until I convince myself to spend $30 on a FTP application. \n\n\nAdium - multiple protocol chat. Really nice tab UI. I am not a fan of the web cam support especially with all the goodness baked into iChat. I only use it sparingly to talk to family, so it is a non-issue for me. \n\n\nTextExpander - I just recently started to use this and love it. Add the HTML packet and blogging in TextMate gets much better. In addition, if you are like me and spell horibbly, check out the auto spell check library. It will cost $30 after 30 days, but so far it seems worth it. \n\n\n1Password - one thing I missed from my windows was the great FireFox extension OnePassword. Sadly it does not work on the Mac. Thankfully, there is a better solution, 1Password. This little tool can handle just about any form and does a killer job of managing lots of different content. What's even better is that it works across multiple browsers (FireFox, Safari, Camino) and can be accessed without visiting the site. In addition, it also syncs with my iPhone and they are beta testing a site which which will give you access to your passwords when you are on the road. It cost about $30. \n\n\nOmniFocus - a great tool for organizing what needs to be done. It still in beta, but should be shipping soon. I am also playing with Things which is very nice as well, but I think like the structure of OmniFocus a little better. In addition, for just simple tasks there is Anxiety which can be used with OmniFocus as well. It costs $40 during the beta and will go to $80 once released. \n\n\nFlip4Mac -  allows you to watch WMV via Quick Time\n\n\nIsolator - simple tool which blacks out everything except for the window you are working on. A great way to remove distractions. I need one of these for real life. :)\n\n\nPlaxo - not really software, but a vital tool for me. I use Plaxo to keep my Address Book and iCal synchronized with Exchange. Basically, I have Outlook running on another  machine at home. Whenever something changes, it syncs it to Plaxo. Plaxo is also running on the Mac and syncs any changes. Finally, since Outlook also syncs with Exchange any changes made on the Mac show up there as well. Way more complicated than it should be, but for now it enables me to use the native Address book, calendar, and email client. \n\n\nQuicksilver - I am sure I am just scratching the surface here, but it is a great tool for switching between applications and tasks. It really should just be bundled in by default. I was using my brother's MacBook on Christmas Eve and kept ^ + Space. \n\n \nTransmission - I do not use Torrent very often, but when I do, this has been very solid and easy to use. \n\n\nTwitterific - Way better than the Twitter web site. You can use it for free but have to see an ad every hour or so. The ads do not bother me (actually some are very helpful believe it or not). \n\n\nZigVersion - really nice SVN client. Free for non-commerical usage. TextMate as a built in SVN client as well, but I have not had a chance to explore it yet. \n\n\niWork - While I can use Microsoft Office via Fusion (and BootCamp) I really like having the option to use something more in sync with the rest of the Mac. So far, I have liked the experience quite a bit. It does not come with all of the bells and whistles you get with Office, but I have yet to find a missing feature I really needed. \n\n\nWitch - Witch lets you access all of your windows by pressing a shortcut and choosing from a clearly arranged list of window titles. The standard task switcher in OS X is way better than Windows, but Witch takes it up an other notch by letting select a specific window from any open application.\n\nFireFox - did I really need to list this one? :) \n\nGrowl - Growl is a notification system for Mac OS X: it allows applications that support Growl to send you notifications.\n\nRemote Desktop - With Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac, you can connect from your Macintosh computer to a Windows-based computer and work with programs and files on that computer.\n\n\n\n\n\nA couple of quick tips:\n\n\n\nSearch around for discounts. There are lots of ways to get N% off of most of these tools. For example, a site called MacSanta had 20% TextMate and 1Passwrd.\nAlso check out Amazon.com. You can find things like iWork and Fusion for about $20 cheaper than on regular sites.\n\n\n\n\nSee also Jason Alexander's list which is what help me get started.\n\n\nAnything I am missing?\n\n\n","saved":"2007-12-28T19:16:34Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"fcf21623ec56a946671bb8f8219699be","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/fc692afec999/","kind":"page"},

Nymbler Has A Hunch About What You Might Like.","note":"Any parent knows how hard picking a name for a baby can be.  The Web makes it easier to research names, but the majority of baby-naming sites simply overwhelm you with too many choices.  You can check out the most popular baby names in the U.S., map those names around the world, look to celebrity baby names for inspiration,  or even graph a given names popularity over time.  My wife and I have gone through this exercise twice with our own three-year-old and one-year old boys (Sebastien and Emile).  All I remember from the process is scrolling through endless, brain-numbing, alphabetical lists that made one name seem indistinguishable from the next.  We ended up going offline for our final inspiration.\n\nA better approach is a site called Nymbler.  You type in names that you like but arent quite perfect enough, and it suggests a bunch of similar names based on origin, sound, meaning, and overall style (as defined by baby-naming expert Laura Wattenberg).  Then you can refine your search further by indicating whether you love or hate each suggestion.  Maybe you like some of the currently in vogue names for girls (Madison, Sophia, Emma, Olivia), but want something more distinctive.  Nymbler spits out Madeleine, Ivy, Angelina, and a dozen others.  Some of them are awful, but keep clicking through and you are likely to find a few gems to put on your list of finalists.\n\n\n\nTurns out you are having a boy instead, but you only came up with a list of girl names?  No problem, Nymbler can make connections between names of either gender.  For the same list of popular girl names above, Nymbler comes up with Silas, Jasper, Theo, and Pierce.\n\n\n\nWhat makes Nymbler interesting, though, is that it is just a demo for search and discovery technology called a Hunch Engine that was developed by Icosystem.  Founded by complexity scientist Eric Bonabeau, Icosystem is a Boston-based consulting firm with about 25 people, about $4 million in revenues, and is nicely profitable.  Its main bread and butter comes from helping Fortune 500 companies like Eli Lilly with drug discovery or Harrahs Casinos with data mining consumer behavior.  But Bonabeau recently told me that he plans on transitioning Icosystems business in 2008 towards more of a software model by taking some of his custom algorithms and turning them into more generic software that is easier to deploy.\n\nHis Hunch Engine uses behavioral clustering to make personalized suggestions based on no more than two or three clicks by a user.  How can I help you make better decisions, especially when you dont know what you are looking for? asks Bonabeau.  That is the goal of the technology. And it can be applied not just to baby names, but to image search, shopping suggestions, drug discovery, or any other data-mining task.\n\nFor instance, Bonabeau showed me another Hunch Engine demo for a photo editing application.  It took a fuzzy, dark photo and then displayed a grid showing different editing enhancements.  With a couple clicks, what was a throw-away image became legible without the user having to know anything about photo-editing.  This could come in handy as a user interface for mobile devices, especially camera phones that tend to take crappy pictures.  Well be keeping an eye on Icosystems to see what Hunch Engine apps pop up in 2008.\n\n\n\n\nIcosystem \nLoading information about Icosystem\n\n\n\n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchBoard because its time for you to find a new Job2.0","saved":"2007-12-28T16:45:29Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e07db5f6530138997f1813ba3048d732","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/995154b9169a/","kind":"page"},

Cerf co-authored the 1973 paper that led to TCP/IP being used as a means to interconnect previously incompatible computers and networks associated with the ARPANET. Increasingly, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is playing a similar role as  the common denominator interconnecting diverse communication devices and networks. And although the protocol geeks either love or hate SIP, its rapid adoption makes it impossible to ignore.\n\n\nAlthough Microsoft and Cisco offer competing visions of the future of communication, they both support SIP.  Skype rose to fame via a proprietary protocol, but Skype utilizes SIP as the means to connect with the telephone network.  Several dozen device manufacturers  from Nokia and Philips to Sony and Siemens  offer SIP-enabled devices, and virtually every other consumer electronics company on the planet plans to roll out SIP-enabled devices over the next 12 months. Ten million SIP-enabled phones have sold to enterprise customers.   Avaya, Nortel and Siemens may argue over who has the best features, but they all support SIP.\n\n\nThe entry-level price for an SIP telephone fell to $40 in 2007 from $400 in 2002.  Chip manufacturers like Texas Instruments and Broadcom already have third-generation functionality in the pipeline. Best Buy et al do not currently carry SIP phones, but web sites dedicated to SIP-enabled products (e.g. telephonydepot.com) arrived in 2007. Hundreds of companies (e.g. Betamax Group)  bridge SIP calls to the traditional telephone network.  Fring provides free software that turns mobile handsets into SIP clients enabling voice and IM functionality via Wi-Fi and 2G or 3G data plans.\n\n\nThe patent woes of SIP-based Vonage seem to have squelched the stream of SIP VoIP startups for the time being. For some 20 years, the TCP-IP protocol that Vint co-created achieved very little in the way of public awareness until the arrival of Mark Andreessens web browser.  Cheap telephone calls represent SIPs thin edge, but SIP still needs its web browser moment.\n\n\nSolutions exist for the early obstacles encountered by SIP, such as NAT and firewall traversal.  Adobes plans for integrating SIP into Flash may go a long way toward unleashing more creativity.  SIP continues to evolve with peer-to-peer SIP arriving to challenge client-server SIP during 2008.  Yet we remain in the horseless carriage phase, in which everything gets framed in terms of the old model. SIP phones do little more than replicate the features and functions of traditional telephones.\n\n\nIn any case, to quote Victor Hugo, Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come. In the 100 years between 1876 and the 1980s, the painfully slow pace of innovation associated with wired telephone monopolies meant that a mere 600 million people were able to use the telephone as a means of communication. Over the next 25 years, competition between cellular carriers increased the pace of innovation enough to allow the technology to reach two billion people. Now, an even faster pace of cost performance improvements positions  an infocom ecosystem of SIP devices as the solution to  bring communication to four billion people. The time has come for SIP.","saved":"2007-12-28T11:30:35Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"37a58c4085ddc9409f819da7e1869afd","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/95ba276adf4b/","kind":"page"},

If your like me, playing video consoles was about 15 years in the past back when the Sega Genesis was the leading edge.  I have to tell you the Wii level sets the playing field for everyone.  In our house my son is very good with the video games and it can be a challenge to play against him.  The full motion action that is required to play really resets the playing field so the novice gamer has a chance to compete.\n\nI want to have the Wii installed in the basement.  However I have to finish painting the basement and I have to build a set of shelves to hold the games.  So for the short term  I put the Wii on the TV in the family room.  Playing the Wii on a 52″ TV is an experience in of itself.\n\nThe first game we played was bowling.  All four of us played.  What a trip to be swinging your arm to get speed on the ball.   The second game was”Dance Dance Revolution”.  This game has a floor mat and you have to dance to songs.  You’re rated on your timing and accuracy of your steps. Watching each family member take ther turn only to have the Wii tell us we failed at dancing.  It was hysterically.  By the fourth or fifth attempt we were able to be rated a “D” or “C” on the beginner level.  If you want a good workout, I would recommend “Dance Dance Revolution”.  After each game you could feel the tiredness in your legs and your breathing increase.  We tried one game at expert level.  It was a cruel joke to even attempt it.   I would love to see someone play the expert level and be rated decently.\n\nI’ve heard that a few people have been injured in playing the Wii.

Let's see:\n\n\nThe Upside\n\nThis release contains a boatload of new features. Mauricio Fernandez has an impressive list (soon to be updated).\n\n\n\nPerformance: this new Ruby runs on the new YARV virtual machine. For most compute-intensive applications, you'll see significant speed improvements.\n\nSupport for string encodings and transcoding. Every string in Ruby can now have an associated encoding (ASCII, UTF-8, SJIS, and so on). You can transcode the contents of a string (for example converting ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8). \n\nIntegrated RubyGems and rake\n\nCool new goodies such as Fibers\n\n\n\nand so on and so on.\n\n\nThe Downside\n\n\nThis is a development release, not a production release. It has known bugs, and there'll be more to come. \n\nIt contains several incompatible changes (block parameters are now block-local, String is no longer Enumerable, \"cat\"[1] now returns \"a\", rather than 65)\n\nIt is more rigorous that 1.8 when it comes to detecting invalid code. For example, 1.8 accepts /[^\\x00-\\xa0]/u, while 1.9 complains of invalid multibyte escapes\n\n\n\nBecause of this, and based on my experience working on the third edition of the PickAxe, a whole bunch of existing gems and other libraries are broken.\n\n\nSo, Should You Use It?\n\nIn production? Probably not yet. It isn't intended for production use, and there will be some rough edges.\n\n\nFor development? Maybe, but take note of some of the issues with gems and other libraries. If you rely on third party code, make sure it has been tested against 1.9.0 before taking the plunge. That goes for Rails users, too.\n\n\nNow, if you're a library developer and gem maintainer, this is the perfect time to check out a copy of Ruby 1.9 and make sure your code is compatible. Over the coming months, more and more of your users will be basing their applications on 1.9. The future success of your gem requires compatibility.\n\n\nFor experimentation? Absolutely! The new features are wonderful. Not only do they make writing Ruby code even more enjoyable, they also open up whole new avenues to explore. How will fibers (both asymmetric and symmetric) affect they way we code? Let's all find out by playing with them.\n\n\nMy Recommendation\n\nDownload 1.9 (either as a tarball/zip file, or directly from the Subversion repository). Build it and install it, but not as your default Ruby. Instead, use the --prefix option to put it somewhere else (I store it under my home directory, so I don't need to be root). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n$ autoconf\n$ ./configure --prefix=/Users/dave/ruby19\n$ make\n$ make install\n\n\n\n\n\nThen, I just add /Users/dave/ruby19/bin to my path, and I'm using my nicely sandboxed version of Ruby 1.9.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n$ PATH=/Users/dave/ruby19/bin:$PATH\n$ ruby -v \nruby 1.9.0 (2007-12-26 revision 0) [i686-darwin8.11.1]\n\n\n\n\n\nIf I install gems with that version in my path, they get installed into the sandbox, not globally. If I use the sandboxed version of Ruby when building extension libraries with extconf.rb, those extensions install into the sandbox. But, if I suddenly have to look at a problem in production code that means I have to use Ruby 1.8, I simply fire up another shell with my original PATH, and it's as if Ruby 1.9 doesn't exist.\n\n\n1.9 is the future of Ruby, and it's a future that will be mainstream very soon. Start playing with it now, so you'll be up to speed when Matz creates his first production release.\n\n","saved":"2007-12-26T00:40:04Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e1815bbe2b0d1938135888d1d63dd129","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b549673055fa/","kind":"page"},

For one, I never used them. For another, the intrusive (and possibly illegal) nature of Facebook's \"Beacon\" service - as well as the difficulty of opting out of it - had me alarmed at how far the next venture by the next site might go. I wanted out, once and for all.\n  So here's how the cancellation process went for each:\n  Friendster: Easy to find instructions on how to cancel. Extremely easy to cancel. Just fill out one web form and you're done.\n  MySpace: Easy to find instructions on how to cancel. Click through a few confirmation pages, get a confirmation e-mail, click a link there, confirm once more on the web and you're done. Very easy.\n  Facebook: Ah, Facebook. The real champion. Impossible to find instructions on how to cancel. Searching the help system for \"cancel account\" or \"delete account\" only shows instructions for \"deactivating\" your account. Deactivation is not deletion - it merely puts your account in limbo and allows you to restore it at a later date. So if you are concerned about, say, the security of Facebook's servers, deactivation does nothing for you.\n  Ultimately, if you Google around, you will find that you have to e-mail Facebook directly to request deletion of your account. When you do, they will respond by telling you that you must \"remove all content\" from your page in order for them to delete you. I think this includes just about everything - friends, groups, messages, etc. (My understanding comes from this blog post.) This could be an arduous process if you have a lot of account data.\n  However, I also believe this to be a completely phony roadblock. I simply responded to the e-mail by saying I had no profile content (I didn't have much on there, but I did have a few friends). I didn't, however, touch a thing. I received a response saying that my account was deleted. So it seems pretty clear that this whole \"content deletion\" business is b.s.\n  Elapsed time: Three days. (NB: I sent in my request on a Friday.) It took just minutes to delete my account on the other two services.\n  As I say above, Facebook's Beacon service was the key reason for wanting to delete my social networking accounts.  The fact that this issue has even got MoveOn up in arms tells you it's for real. So I suppose it should come as no surprise that the worst offender both hides information on how to delete your account and makes you jump through numerous hoops (some possibly bogus) to actually delete it. (I'm aware that Facebook now claims to offer a universal opt-out, but the company's constantly shifting stories and Beacon UI have not filled me with confidence.)\n  A word to the wise: A few years ago, AOL was investigated by the NY Attorney General for making life incredibly difficult for customers who wanted to cancel their accounts. AOL was forced to clean up its act and pay a seven-figure fine. Facebook is already on the new AG's radar, so they'd be smart to change their ways sooner rather than later.\n  Anyhow, I'm sure my fellow Kossacks have stories to share about their travails in cancelling online accounts, whether on any of the above sites or on others. If you've wrestled a particularly thorny account to the ground and have any tips to share, please do so.","saved":"2007-12-25T23:05:21Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"e2a2ee0f6647d50f5f777e4372ddba60","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/52ac1e0817f7/","kind":"page"},

Last month he told investors he'd rather focus on the 20 million people who visit a Blockbuster store than the 3.1 million members of Blockbuster Total Access.He also said he'd raise prices. Give him credit for follow-through: Yesterday he said he'd jack up prices for new mail order customers and some existing ones by 40%. The increases of $2 to $10 will take effect next week.Predictably, NFLX shares surged 9.5% in Thursday trading. But we're not sure why -- BBI had already said it was going to retreat from the mail-order business, because it can't figure out how to make money there.

In a statement, publisher Nick Ciarelli described the agreement as \"amicable\", but offered few details. Apple, which gets a lot of PR mileage from Steve Jobs' keynote product announcements, has been fighting a multi-front effort to stamp out news leaks. The suit against Think Secret was separate from a broader effort to force blogs to reveal their company sources. As noted in the statement, Think Secret was not forced to reveal any of its sources as part of the agreement. Announcement.\n\n\n\nNot surprisingly, the news has prompted some very angry reactions:\n\n\n\n-- Techdirt: \"The guy behind Think Secret notes that he never gave up the source, and calls this settlement amicablebut it sets a horrible precedent for plenty of sites, and may create quite the chilling effect on reporters and bloggers alike. It's really a shame that Apple even decided to pursue this vendetta, and the fact that it ends with Think Secret being shut down completely is a travesty.\"\n\n\n\n-- Rex Hammock: \"'Positive solution for both sides'? There's another side here. My side. (I'm speaking collectively for readers, of course.) And there's nothing positive about this settlement for my side. Think Secret itself is an amazing story  and I've already called its creator one of my heroes. It was started in 1998 by a 13-year-old middle-schooler in New Woodstock, N.Y. named Nicholas M. Ciarelli who used the clever alias Nick dePlume. ... One thing is certain: Nick Ciarelli is to online journalism what Lebron James to the NBA. He's already changed the game  and he's barely started playing. Oh, and another thing is certain: this sucks.\n\n\n\n-- IPDemocracy: \"Even if Ciarelli had support from public interest groups and free speech advocates, litigation is one of the worst things that can happen to an individual, behind only death, disease and death of a loved one. The torture of litigation is magnified by some geometric multiple when a giant corporation guns for a sole person.\"\n\n\n\nUpdate: Bits: The site's closure is part of a settlement of a suit that Apple filed in 2004 in an effort to stop Think Secret from publishing what it called trade secrets. In March 2005, Think Secret responded by filing a motion under a California doctrine that is meant to prevent baseless lawsuits that inhibit free speech. These are known as anti-Slapp laws, short for Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation. The case has essentially been on hold since then, with all hearings postponed. Ciarelli told Bits: \"We mounted a very aggressive First Amendment defense. Apple basically took no action to move the lawsuit forward. It is because they knew they were going to lose.\" He declined to discuss terms of the settlement, other than to say he was \"very satisfied.\" Several lawyers who followed this case closely said Ciarelli's claims of satisfaction indicate that he received a substantial cash settlement.","saved":"2007-12-21T05:56:19Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"ff244c76bb4494910ea4cb04588d920f","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6def35be2993/","kind":"page"},

The change is part of the FT's decision to give casual readers free access to 30 articles per month. The new structure takes affect in April, when users of paid aggregation services like Factiva, Alacra, LexisNexus and others will have to pay for the FT Content License. Subscription prices start at $3,796 (1,990) for corporations that want access for 10 or more employees; the price decreases as the number of users increases. By comparison, premium individual subscriptions are $299 and $398 (includes print edition). \n\n\n\nKarin Borchert, Factiva's VP for global content and customer operations, told me that she doesn't expect Factiva to feel much of an impact. \"If they're a casual user, they might just opt to go straight to FT.com.\" Factiva's customers are different and use it because it provides unfettered access to news material. Also, while acknowledging the FT's U.S. and global presence, she added that \"the majority of the interest is in the UK.\"\n\n\n\nAffect of a free WSJ.com?: As for how the service might be affected should its sister News Corp./DJ pub WSJ.com go free, Borchert said: \"The organization at the WSJ.com has different goals than the FT.

But we do have a story line that's riper and more grounded in reality for the \"serial exaggerator\" narrative the campaign press used to love so much.\n  Blue Mass Group does the honors: \n  Mitt Romney will stop at nothing to score political points. Even if it means lying outright about his father.\n   I saw my father march with Martin Luther King. \n  Uh huh.\n   He made a similar statement Sunday during an appearance on NBC's \"Meet the Press.\" He said, \"You can see what I believed and what my family believed by looking at our lives. My dad marched with Martin Luther King. My mom was a tireless crusader for civil rights.\" \n  Right. Got it -- dad marched with MLK. Even David Broder says so, and supplies some corroborative detail intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative. (BMG bonus points for identifying the source of that phrase!)\n   As Mitt Romney recalled in his address, his father was able to remind people that he had marched with Martin Luther King Jr. (through upscale Grosse Pointe, Mich., in support of open-housing legislation). \n  Problem is, it's not true. None of it. As the Phoenix's David Bernstein reveals ... in some superb digging, George Romney never marched \"with\" -- i.e., in the presence of, at the same place at the same time -- Martin Luther King, Jr. \n  And the capper: \n  Faced with the unfortunate reality that Mitt was making things up, his campaign has retreated into a hilarious Humpty-Dumptyism about what it means to \"march with\" someone. You see, it doesn't mean that you were actually there. It means that, well, you participated in a march about a related topic on a different day, and maybe you thought about the guy while you were doing it.\n  Mitt, in other words, was \"speaking figuratively, not literally.\" \n  Oh. My. God. This jackass will literally say anything.\n  In other news, I \"figuratively\" wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Hammurabic Code.\n  UPDATE: For those interested in salvaging Romney's tale, here's an excerpt from the above-referenced Phoenix article: \n  This 1968 Grosse Pointe appearance is the one that Romney spokesperson Eric Fehrnstrom initially insisted, in email exchanges with the Phoenix, was the event in question. Fehrnstrom cited the Broder column and \"the Romney family recollection.\"\n  Of the many contemporaneous and historical records of the Grosse Pointe speech, none make any mention of George Romneys attendance. It is unlikely, if not implausible, that his presence would have gone unnoticed: not only was he governor of the state, he had just, weeks before, dropped out of the race for President.\n  And, Mitt Romney would not have known about the event, let alone had a chance to \"see\" it. He was at that time in the middle of his two-year mission for the Mormon church in Le Havre, France. By his own description and others, he was cut off from virtually all contact with his family; and at the time, Kings Grosse Pointe appearance was no more than local news. \n  And the Phoenix's own update: \n  A spokesperson for Mitt Romney now tells the Phoenix that George W. Romney and Martin Luther King Jr. marched together in June, 1963 -- although possibly not on the same day or in the same city.","saved":"2007-12-20T17:36:05Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"703811c91e70ca095905881be1481e75","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/88b1dd780112/","kind":"page"},

Although Boot Camp is pretty fantastic if you need to run a processor intensive application (or you want to play games), virtualization is the more attractive solution for users who need to access productivity applications, like Microsoft Office 2007, but don't want to have to live in the Windows environment. The two big players in the virtualization field are VMWare's Fusion and Parallels' Parallels. Both applications let you install a Windows XP or Vista virtual machine on your Intel Mac without having to leave OS X, both offer a level of integration between the two operating systems and both retai for $79.99 (USD). So, which virtualization program is the fastest? Well, that's what MacTech attempted to find out in their exhaustive benchmarking trials, comparing Fusion 1.0 (build 51348), Parallels 3.0 (build 5160) and Boot Camp head-to-head-to-head in a variety of different computing tasks.So what's the bottom line? Because of how the software if designed to integrate between the two platforms, Parallels came out ahead in many of MacTech's tests. For certain more processor heavy uses, VMWare, thanks to its ability to take advantage of both cores, came out the best. For networking performance, Boot Camp was king. While I found the benchmarking tests very interesting - and useful - prospective buyers should be aware that in the middle of MacTech's testing procedure, all three Windows options for OS X were upgraded. With the release of Leopard, Boot Camp came out of beta and VMWare is now at version 1.1 and Parallels was updated on December 5 to build 5582. I know just from my own unscientific experience, Fusion 1.1 improved significantly in speed and overall performance from version 1.0 and while I was a big fan of Parallels under Tiger, I have \"switched\" to Fusion for Leopard.Trial-versions are available for both programs. Remember that in order to use Windows XP or Vista, you need a valid user license.Thanks, Rich.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments\n","saved":"2007-12-19T21:00:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"671ec8343f1eef67a43ca1b9d118b633","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/016d68081d06/","kind":"page"},

The bot can be used as a direct look up tool for a translation, or in a group chat for translation on the fly as part of a conversation.

(NYSE: NWS) In the end, shares representing 60.27 percent of the total voting power were cast in favor of the deal. Of the Class B shares that were voted, most of which were held by the controlling Bancroft family, 54 percent were cast in favor. Common shareholders overwhelmingly approved the deal, with 94 percent of votes cast going in favor. The official sale close is yet to come. That is expected to happen at the close of business today. Release.\n\n\n\nThe meeting, in a ballroom at the Marriott Financial Center hotel, would have been quite short, with little more than formal motions, but for an appearance from famed shareholder activist Evelyn Davis, who was the only shareholder to speak up. Davis supported the deal, but castigated the company for spending $70 million on various fees during the process. She also suggested that CEO Rich Zannino's $20 million gold parachute was excessive, given his relatively brief tenure at the company. Nonetheless, she stepped up to the dais and handed Zannino a golden handkerchief, while giving him a peck on the cheek. \n\n\n\nUpdate: Technically, the handover hasn't even happened yet, but already there's some tension. To celebrate, News Corp. is planning a newspaper ad blitz congratulating itself on the deal. But both the Financial Times and China Daily are refusing to run it, reports Fortune. China Daily's reasoning is pretty straightforward: certain words in the ad would have required approval from state officials. FT objected to News Corp.'s use of superlatives, and demand that the ad be changed to call Dow Jones \"one of\" the greatest financial journalism brands, as opposed to \"the\" greatest financial journalism brand. Not surprisingly, News Corp. wouldn't acquiesce.","saved":"2007-12-13T22:39:36Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"372faa05e73bfafd4e1e473197fe1265","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/458dc0633bb1/","kind":"page"},

And, just as frameworks like DWR and JSON RPC allow for remoting objects via XHR, a number of frameworks allow for remoting objects in Flex. One of the most popular has been Flex LiveCycle Data Services, but it's also a commercial product with a big enough price tag to cause many developers to steer clear.\n\nNot anymore.\n\nAdobe just announced that they are open-sourcing the remoting and HTTP messaging features of Flex LiveCycle Data Sources in a new product called Blaze DS, which will be LGPL licensed. In addition, they are taking a page from Comet and making it easy to create a persistent connection for \"server push\" functionality for the HTTP messaging. The \"data management\" features (i.e., keeping a client and server model in sync) remain payware.\n\nIn addition, they are publishing the spec to their object remoting protocol (AMF), making it easy for others in the community to create remoting servers (previously, folks had to reverse-engineer the protocol). This opens the door for other non-Java platforms to provide middle tiers in the Flex stack (i.e., Flex doesn't include any public database drivers, so you have to write a middle-tier to transfer data to Flex apps, and right now Java is the only first-class option).\n\nMany folks wonder why Ajax developers don't just use Flash; as Adobe open-sources more and more of their stack, it's going to be very interesting to see the reaction of the community. We at Ajaxian aren't in the \"Open Web or Else\" crowd, but a fully open Flash stack would sure make the world a touch more interesting.","saved":"2007-12-13T05:01:30Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"b792debb643a5b7f9515937a67de0fb1","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/12d18957db9a/","kind":"page"},

Technologies such as Ajax and Flash have been developed, at least in part, to overcome this limitation of HTML and facilitate the loading of new data onto a page without the requirement of a refresh. Many Web 2.0 companies have taken advantage of such technology in making their applications operate more seamlessly like desktop apps, but the technology still has quite a way to go. \n\nAJAX, for example, isnt designed to load new information onto a page unless that page has makes the initiative to request more data in the first place (i.e. the user interacts in a particular way with the page that causes it to ping the server for extra stuff). If you want to design an application that pushes information out to a page (say, up-to-the-second stock prices) whether or not the page has made a request, you can pull off the functionality with Ajax but your code wont be elegant and it probably wont be very efficient either.\n\nAdobe is making a set of announcements tonight, the largest of which is meant to solve this issue of sending data back and forth with a visitors browser more elegantly, thereby helping developers create richer internet applications. The company has offered a product called LiveCycle Data Services (previously Flex Data Services) that works with Flex, a technology for building Flash applications. It provides advanced capabilities for Flash applets that allow them to connect up with server-side, back-end systems (in other words, to communicate back home with the server that originally loaded a page).\n\nTonight, Adobe is releasing an open sourced, beta version of LiveCycle Data Services called BlazeDS. The open source nature of BlazeDS will make it a welcome addition to the developers arsenal. But on top of opening it up, Adobe is adding extra functionality called HTTP streaming that enables clients (i.e. applets in end-user browsers) to initiate persistent connections with servers that allow those servers to push data back to the client whenever the server deems a transfer necessary (e.g. to send the latest stock price). The hope is that this technology will make it possible for data to flow both ways (from server and back) much more efficiently. The most notable difference for website visitors should be faster performance, and hopefully better functionality as well.\n\nAdobe will also be making available something called LiveCycle Data Services Community Edition, basically BlazeDS but with Adobe quality control (i.e. certification) and support. This enterprise version of the technology, which the company compares to Red Hats enterprise offerings, will not be ready until early 2008 and pricing has yet to be disclosed.\n\nIn addition to the introduction of BlazeDS and its Community Edition, Adobe is releasing beta 3 versions of both Flex and AIR tonight. A commercial, non-open source version of BlazeDS (simply retaining the old name, LiveCycle Data Services) will also be maintained by Adobe and continue to offer some additional functionality not found in the open source version.\nCrunch Network:  CrunchBoard because its time for you to find a new Job2.0","saved":"2007-12-13T05:00:27Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"cc1e9c90144fbf1757a50833d3da2bd9","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/2d4dad16b0a7/","kind":"page"},

But the Ignite talk I gave was pretty short (five minutes!), so I thought I'd try to put it up here.Slide 1: I always include a definition of 'lexicographer' when I talk; keeps people from elbowing their neighbor and asking 'what did she say she did again'?Slide 2: Because this was a tech talk, I also pointed out that I was a geek. (I wore this skirt, by the way, for visual reinforcement of the concept.)Slide 3: We all think of dictionaries as very concrete, solid objects. (You wouldn't want to drop one on your foot, would you?) But actually ... Slide 4: Dictionaries might be solid, but their innards are really collections of ABSTRACTIONS. Definitions are made by taking a lot of specific datapoints (uses of a word in context) ... Slide 5: ... and averaging them out to a more general meaning.Slide 6: This may seem really obvious to YOU ... [note: this is my favorite Flickr image EVER]Slide 7: But many people think that lexicographers just \"decide\" what a word means. Nope! That would be really hard work ... it's easier (and more accurate) to look at examples of use.Slide 8: What can you tell about this word [pirgate] from these examples? Well, I bet you know it's a verb, that you can do it TO something, and that it's something you might not want to do. This is all information you know implicitly because you know how English works.Slide 9: How about now? Now you know this use is a noun, and it's a kind of person -- the kind of person you don't want to be, probably. Slide 10: The truth is that \"meaning\" is created by lots of little points of data, in the same way that persistence-of-vision effects are created by lots of little points of light. A diffuse set of data can look pretty solid if it moves fast enough ...Slide 11: But you really do have to have ENOUGH data for this persistence-of-vision effect to work. If I say a guy is wearing a tux and holding a martini, is he a waiter, or is he James Bond? You don't have enough data to tell.Slide 12: So lexicographers in their labs try to distill all those usage data points into high-octane liquid definitions.

(especially not 'pirgate', since I made it up).Slide 16: And, of course, the examples you DO find might not be helpful.Slide 16: The big question, though, isn't really WHERE to find enough examples -- that's pretty straightforward. The big question is: if we agree that dictionary definitions are abstractions of meaning, is there a better way to represent those abstractions than this:Slide 17: ... the boring old print dictionary?Slide 18: Could we show relationships between examples in a less-linear way? Slide 19: Could we convey those abstractions in a more powerful way? Slide 20: That's the problem I'm working on every day ...

The old saying goes, \"The grass is always greener on the other side\". However, I was unaware of just how green it could be. \n\n\n\nMy primary motivation for getting the new Mac was hardware. There is simply nothing else equivalent on the market today. My previous machine was a Dell XPS M1210, which was a very nice machine and the new 13 inch version is even nicer, but still a big step behind. \n\n\nWhen it came to OS X and other Mac software I was not so sure how much I would really like it. I figured worse case, I could always boot directly to Windows and with a 5 month old daughter I saw some potential in using iLife. In a nutshell, my expectations have been so far exceeded, that with the exception of Visual Studio, I find my self using OS X and Mac applications for just about every other task. \n\n\nA couple of the real gems:\n\n\nTransmit - This is how FTP software should work.\nFusion - I have never been a fan of desktop virtualization software. In the past, I have used a backup machine and Norton Ghost for testing new software, but not anymore. Wow! Although I can boot directly into Windows at anytime, I have yet done so (note: I am not an avid gamer). I have an XP image that I use everyone once in a while and have been using Windows 2003 for development work. This has been nothing but pure joy. \nZigVersion - I still use Tortoise on Windows, but I wish I had this as an option. \nTextMate - Good God, is there anything TextMate cannot do. Case in point, I am writing and publishing this blog post with it. \niLife - there is nothing even remotely close to iLife available on the PC. \n\nPut all of this together with the killer hardware and you have an incredible user experience. It is still too early to tell for sure, but so far, it has been a joy using the new machine. \n\n\n\nMy only regret has been waiting until November 2007 to take the plunge. \n\n\n","saved":"2007-12-12T16:19:52Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"2b1726c47c9196fb54c20733bafa4057","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/30e09f333400/","kind":"page"},

The likes of Andrew Keen and Doris Lessing ignore the many benefits the internet has provided in expanding access to knowledge to many, many more people than who may otherwise have had no access before. Whilst it may be easy to mock the utterances of hundreds of millions of bloggers and social networking site users, the 21st century will be remembered as the time that communication was democratized, a time where the power of a few was replaced by the power of many. Let them eat their elitist intellectual cake, because the world is changing for the better, and there is nothing they can do to stop this. \n\nFor all those dumb people reading this who might never had read anything of substance before, may I suggest Wikipedia, its apparently a place where you can read interesting things, but it isnt on paper, so it might not count.  \n\nThe Guardian has the full text of Lessings speech here, which I note aside from the internet comments is a great, and often inspiring read.\n\n(image credit: Marknad)\n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchBoard because its time for you to find a new Job2.0","saved":"2007-12-10T05:00:52Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"07c53b246d967864245ef9c4c81a8c4e","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/513e2ff3b393/","kind":"page"},

The Lightroom 1.3 Develop module could cause the application to crash if adjustments were made in quick succession. Compressed raw files from the Nikon D100 were read incorrectly in Lightroom 1.3. A possible artifact in raw file support for the Olympus E-3 has been corrected.

Its basically all of the core Google services, accessible from a single easy to use menu.  The new application has what is now considered a signature look for the iPhone. The look and feel of many of the interface elements are similar to those created by Joe Hewitt, whose sample framework and code have been used in dozens of iPhone applications (see his Facebook product here).

The site will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the veteran commercial info company with Kathy Yates remaining as CEO. Dun & Bradstreet (NYSE: DNB) expects the acquisition to generate about $10 million of incremental revenue in 2008, according to AP. \n\n\n\nA $55 million price tag isn't shabby but this one is attached to a site once sold for $225 million. It was founded in 1999 with $20 million in VC funds and was sold to GE subsidiary NBC Internet Inc, in 2000 for a pre-bubble $225 million. In 2002, it was sold to a private entity that thought it could be rescued, and went back to start-up phase. AllBusiness.com raised $12.4 million in third-round funding in early 2006; the round was led by Sutter Hill Ventures and included strategic investor Reed Elsevier (NYSE: RUK) Ventures. \n\n\n\nVantagePoint Venture Partners took part in that round and contributed a $10 million second round in 2004 although the company only used $5 million. At the time, VantagePoint managing director David Carlick said they thought  AllBusiness.com \"is poised to become the Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) for small business.\" That hasn't quite happened despite bringing in first Peter Horan as CEO and MarketWatch veteran Yates as COO , then CEO when Horan left for IAC, (NSDQ: IACI) although the site was able to boost traffic and move to a new level. \n\n\n\nAnd the price doesn't come close to the $345 million in cash plus earnout  RH Donnelley paid for Business.com, the info, directory and search site, just a few months ago. The $7.5 million Skye Dayton and Jake Winebaum paid in 1999 was then the largest ever for a singe domain name. The company raised  $10 million in funding in 2004 and kept building value. \n\n\n\n-- AllBusiness.com claims an \"audience of more than 2 million business decision makers\" and a library of \"more than 2 million pieces of business information including articles, videos, blogs, forms and agreements.\"\n\n\nRelated\n\n\nIndustry Moves: Peter Horan Leaving AllBusiness.com To Head IAC's Media And Advertising Group\nAllBusiness.com Notches $12.4 Million In Series C Funding \nIndustry Moves:  Former MarketWatch COO Yates Joins AllBusiness.com\nInterview: Peter Horan, CEO, AllBusiness.com\nIndustry Moves: Peter Horan New CEO, AllBusiness.com","saved":"2007-12-05T00:05:46Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"a6700d31eb76778303e87eea88285476","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f3d6557a0944/","kind":"page"},

The buyer is News Corp...yes, the company has found faith, well, multi-faith, according to FishBowlNYC and since then also confirmed to us by sources. Beliefnet was launched in December 1999 and has been profitable since October 2002, according to the company...it raised a $7 million round from Softbank Capital in 2005. Lots more updates after the jump..\n\nMeanwhile, another hot rumor, that LinkedIn was in talks with News Corp. (NYSE: NWS) may not come to fruition. Reuters (NSDQ: RTRSY) said in a story that the talks were not happening, and are talking about future partnerships only.\n\n\n\nStaci adds: News Corp.-Beliefnet is not as far-fetched as it seems when you consider News Corp.'s faith-based efforts including Fox Faith, the 20th Century Fox line of movies aimed at the religious set and operating under Fox Home Entertainment, publishing houses HarperOne and Zondervan. (According to Christianity Today, some producers have complained about the marketing and promotion efforts behind the films.) Also, there are cable possibilities here and even digital video distribution. Over at SAI, some eyebrow raising at the fact that this is being handled by Dan Fawcett, head of Fox Digital Media, rather than Pete Levinsohn at FIM. Yes, it's a website, but it doesn't fit at all with FIM while Fawcett's small group already makes deals that involve a number of entities across Fox. In fact, this marks the official start of an expanded role for Fawcett, whose background includes EVP-programming and business & legal affairs for DirecTV (NYSE: DTV) and EVP-business and legal affairs for Fox Cable Networks. His group will now be responsible not only for extending the Fox Entertainment's cable, TV and film brands online but for finding new opportunities including acquisitions like Beliefnet. \n\n\n\n-- The deal does have a FIM tie-in: Beliefnet will be using FIM's targeted ad delivery platform. \n\n\n\nUpdate: The announcement is out. The acquisition is by the Fox Entertainment Group --no amount disclosed although I can confirm it's a blend of cash and earnoutwith Beliefnet becoming part of Fox Digital Media. As we wrote last night, Beliefnet fits in with Fox's efforts in the fast-growing faith-based area: \"The acquisition provides Beliefnet with vast resources to further build and enhance its already popular brand. It also offers an online platform for FEG to distribute content from its extensive media library and for News Corp. to expand its faith-based businesses, including HarperCollins' Zondervan and HarperOne brands, and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment's faith-based programming initiative. Additionally, Beliefnet will provide unique, world-renowned spiritual programming to the company's various businesses.\"\n\n\nRelated\n\n\nBeliefNet Gets $7 Million","saved":"2007-12-04T19:37:13Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"8dcb275323b66b410897c6b13b7a27c1","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/92a3c059a97a/","kind":"page"},

To me, or to anyone else.But (and there's always a 'but'), Twitter is perfect for a task that I've been having trouble managing: immediate new-word filing. If I'm at my desk, sure, I can append any new-to-me words I find in my reading to a file. And if I'm out and about, I can make a note on my Treo, or in my Moleskine. But they aren't all in the Same Place, and so consolidation has to happen. (Note: I am not so good -- actually, frakkin' terrible -- at consolidation, of any sort.)Twitter lets me post a WOTD (word-of-the-day) from anywhere, and then it is nicely stored ALL IN ONE PLACE. The limit of 140 characters per 'tweet' keeps me from rambling on and on. And it's semi-public (you can follow my messages if you like, I'm emckean on Twitter) which allows for the possibility of feedback. If you really want a reliable, highly structured WOTD -- my Twitter feed is not for you. (What you want is Double-Tongued Dictionary.) But if you just want to ride shotgun while I read, go ahead and add me to your \"follow\" list. If *you* want to do the same thing with the words you notice, go ahead and use the tag \"wotd:\" -- Twitter has a 'track' function, so if you prefix your messages with this tag, I'll be able to follow your new words easily. Fun, no? (BTW, Twitter is free.)I'll try to keep my Twitter feed just for the WOTDs -- although a few rollerskating or \"seeing-cool-music\" tweets might make it through.

The company has a checkered history, having declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April 2002, then restructuring and emerging from bankruptcy in October the same year. According to earlier reports, around 70% of the sites traffic is related to Christian interests, with around 70% of users being females, and the most popular age group being 35 to 45. Beliefnet raised $7 million from Softbank Capital in 2005.\n\nTerms of the acquisition were not disclosed.\n\nIn related news, a source fimilar with the matter has told Reuters that News Corp is not in negotiations to buy LinkedIn, rumors of which first surfaced on TechCrunch UK in November. The source claimed that News Corp was in talks with LinkedIn, but the two companies had been  discussing future partnerships, not a takeover. With the Dow Jones (Wall Street Journal) acquisition being finalized a partnership between News Corp and LinkedIn would make a lot of sense; the premium business sites from Dow Jones provide a high-wealth business focused demographic that would sit well with LinkedIns business networking product.\n\nUpdate: sources at Fox Interactive are saying they know nothing about the deal; this isnt to say that its not happening but it is a little strange. The site may have been purchased by another part of News Corp.\n\nEditors Update: More scrounging around has confirmed that the deal indeed is about to be officially announced.\n\nEditors Update 2: The deal is official.  Beliefnet was bought by the Fox Entertainment Group, News Corps cable arm, to distribute content from its faith-based programming initiative and from its religious/spiritual book imprints Zondervanand HarperOne.

He said the two sides are waiting till early 2008 prevents any impact to the all-important holiday DVD selling season. Disney (NYSE: DIS) is the only major studio with full catalog within iTunes for now, while Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM have partial catalog deals.\n\n\n\nThe post outlines some reasons for this possible change. The major one: Apple appears willing to modestly increase the wholesale price paid above the $14.00-$14.50 that Disney has been receiving. Others may follow suit if Fox comes into the fold. Also, studios want to sell premium priced DVDs that include a digital copy of a movie..if they add a premium to the digital copy which can play on an iPod, it may become attractive to consumers. One thing that remains unclear: whether the studios will allow iTunes to rent movies or create a subscription service? There has been rising speculation that an upcoming version of iTunes will enable that feature.\n\n\n\nNYT's Bits blog: Another force may be Amazon.com, (NSDQ: AMZN) which is selling downloads from Fox and other studios. Remember that Amazon's entry into the MP3 business put pressure on Apple to lower the price of its unprotected downloads.","saved":"2007-12-03T18:14:09Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"dbf71c8af53abe3f11a4048072da6240","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/15e052b40b8e/","kind":"page"},

I would love to hear what you think about the technology and what you think it will take for it to be a broad success.  \n\n\nI have only followed OpenID peripherally, but yesterday I spoke with Larry Drebes of JanRain, a startup that's contributed a lot to the OpenID effort. \n\n\nOpenID is a set of open source technologies that creates a universal login and an authentication system. It's an idea that companies have tried to populariaze--without success--over the years. Why? Mainly because when one company or a camp of companies tried to control the idea, it was doomed to fail. The open source nature of OpenID, though, sets this project apart. \n\n\nNow on Monday, OpenID is getting a new kickstart. After around 18 months of work, the 2.0 spec is being locked down and launched. According to Drebes, the main differences in version 2.0 are that it has beefed up security and added Identifier recycling and directed identity. Identifier recycling is a big deal for large companies that have millions of users and so can run out of names. This allows them to reassign names if someone isn't using it. Directed Identity lets you use the same password but change your identity if you're commenting on a blog, for instance. \n\n\nPart of what's important, says Drebes, is that with OpenID you can create a reputation that's associated with one ID. And you can  authenticate that a person is who they really say they are, helping to do away with spam.\n\n\nSo this sounds all well and good. And if the new specs deliver, then the 150,000 people who are now using OpenID could explode, right?  Well, that's where I would love to hear from you to help me understand more about this. \n\n\nThe marketing part I get. Apparently there already are 160 million enabled OpenID users. That's because a couple of huge providers,  AOL and France Telecom, have enabled their subscribers' accounts. If more big service providers, search engines, and portals sign up and start marketing this (Marshall Kirkpatrick has one good suggestion on how), then suddenly you could see an explosion. \n\n","saved":"2007-11-30T15:30:07Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"3e583144cf3543689682ab740823cfba","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/59e6469de0d5/","kind":"page"},

This means that once you get into the flow of it, you can subscribe and keep track of many more sites than before. The problem then becomes: what should you subscribe to? For example, there are millions of blogs, and while a few are well known, there are many more interesting (micro) niche blogs that would be great to subscribe to, if only you could find them.\n\n\nTo help with the discovery of interesting sites to subscribe to, we just released personalized recommendations in Reader. When you visit our discovery page, you'll see quite a few feeds that we think you may find interesting. \"Interesting\" here is determined by what other feeds you subscribe to, as well as your Web History data, all taken into account in an automated, anonymized fashion. (To learn more about how our recommendations work, see our help article about them). Hopefully you'll find your recommendations interesting and helpful in getting your information-triggered dopamine squirt.\n\n\nRecommendations make it even easier to subscribe to lots of feeds, so then the question becomes: how do you organize those feeds better? As luck would have it, one of the other features we're announcing today is drag-and-drop support for your subscriptions and folders. You can now easily move feeds between folders, as well as reorder things up and down within the list.\n\n\nOn the right, you can see Mihai's subscription list as he uses drag-and-drop to reorganize his froworkers folder. (Though you may not want to let your friends know how you're ranking then, lest it become a competition.) Of course, we can't take too much credit for drag-and-drop subscription management -- desktop aggregators have had it for a while, as have online feed readers like Bloglines and NewsGator.\n\n\nWhat these two features have in common is that (ex-)interns played a significant role in delivering both of them. Nitin Shantharam (UC Irvine) helped create the user interface for recommendations, while Olga Stroilova (MIT) had a hand in the algorithms that generate them. Meanwhile, drag-and-drop was the brainchild of Brad Hawkes (UMass Amherst), who was our intern the summer of 2006, and returned to join the Reader team full-time earlier this year. As RIE (Reader Intern Emeritus), Brad paved the way for the great student help that we've had this year. Also to be mentioned is Jason Hall (Kent State), who was behind many interface improvements that have been live for a few months already. All told, our interns (and ex-interns) have done great work this year!\n\n\n\n","saved":"2007-11-30T02:39:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"6095c144fc77a6b44241aeb9e9bd0e8b","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/02f65d519f27/","kind":"page"},

But theyve sat on the sidelines as Yahoo periodically updated their own property, and Google launched their own competing site.\n\nEven though AOL has not kept its service as cutting edge as the competition, they still move a lot of traffic. Recent worldwide comscore stats put them third behind Yahoo Finance and MSN Money with 12.2 million unique monthly visits. Thats well ahead of CNN Money (6.7 m) and, surprisingly, Google Finance, which is dead last among the large finance sites (1.5 m).\n\n\n\nThird place doesnt suit AOLs SVP Money and Finance Martin Moe very well, and his team is making a run for more users. This morning at 6 am EST they are launching an entirely redone AOL Finance - complete redesign and a lot of new features. Moe gave me a demo of the new site and explained some of the key features. Ive put the old site next to the new site for an example company (Walmart) - see the image here.\n\nNews Via Relegence\n\nFirst of all, theyve tightly integrated financial news about companies from Relegence, a company AOL acquired last year. This is the first time Relegence has been integrated into an AOL property, Moe says.  \n\nThe result is a deep browsing engine for news related to the company you are viewing. Blogs, analyst reports, press releases, etc. can be added or removed to filter results. And users can also choose to have news included that merely mentions the company v. articles that really focus on that particular business - see the slider in the image to the right.\n\nCharts & Graphs\n\nHistorical stock data, which goes back as far as 25 years, is on display via Flash graphs. This is significantly better than the current Yahoo and Google are offering. The charts, which are large and easy to read, can be easily manipulated to see different time frames. Other companies and indexes can be added to the chart for comparison purposes, a feature I particularly liked. A basic chart is included on the overview page. Simply click Go To Interactive Chart to see the deeper functionality.\n\nThe chart below shows Apples stock price compared to Microsoft and Dell over the same period.\n\n\n\nAnother feature that I havent seen elsewhere is a simple return-on-investment table that shows investment returns for given periods. Or simply set the calendar to whatever dates you like. Again, this is a fairly simple feature but one that you cant currently find on Google or Yahoo (wow! Apple stock has sure done well the last three years).\n\nThis is a significant upgrade, and will raise the bar for Yahoo, Google and the other competitors. Congrats to the AOL Money & Finance team for releasing a great product.\n\nCrunch Network:  CrunchBoard because its time for you to find a new Job2.0\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n     \n      \n      \n      \n    \n    \n      \n\n    \n  \n  Can't see the video?

Our new  initiative isnt just about Googles energy needs; we're seeking to  accelerate the pace at which clean energy technologies are developing, so they can rival the economics of coal quickly. We've gained expertise in designing and building large-scale, energy-intensive facilities by building data centers that lead the industry in efficiency. We want to apply the same creativity and innovation to the challenge of generating inexpensive renewable electricity at  scale.Promising technologies already exist that could be developed to deliver renewable energy cheaper than coal. We think the time is ripe to build rapidly on the tremendous work on renewable energy. For example, I believe that solar thermal technology provides a very plausible path to generating cheaper electricity. By combining talented technologists, great partners and large investments, we have an opportunity to quickly push this technology forward. Our goal is to build 1 gigawatt of  renewable energy capacity that is cheaper than coal. We are optimistic that this  can be done within years, not decades. If we succeed, it would likely provide a  path to replacing a substantial portion of the worlds electricity needs with renewable energy sources.To lead this effort, we're looking for a world-class team. We need creative and motivated entrepreneurs and technologists with expertise in a broad range of  areas, including materials science, physics, chemistry, mechanical  engineering, electrical engineering, land acquisition and management, power  transmission and substations, construction, and regulatory issues. Join us. And if you're interested, read about our previous work toward a  clean energy future.","saved":"2007-11-27T17:02:00Z","tags":[],"toread":false,"meta":"9e23dcd199f9f096685dc5a4bafa8680","permalink":"https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ad57cfdb275b/","kind":"page"},
