Yeah, cause I ain't working for another company if I can help it. Plus I feel like I thrive on the startup process but not so much on the maintenance phase that comes after.

I'm really sorry to hear about that. I hope you find things that allow you to profit--materially and spiritually--from your time away from the office job.
- vicster
Thanks vicster. Spiritually I feel uplifted, and I'm not sure why. I guess it's because there are new opportunities ahead, and frankly I needed that.

Yeah, well I'm employed until January. I'm sure things will resolve themselves one way or the other.

This might come as a shock to you, but bananas are actually blue. The reason they appear to be yellow is that yellow isn't really yellow. It's actually blue. That is not to say that yellow doesn't exist. It is just that yellow and blue never really reached a consensus regarding who will be what.

I'd like it more if I could hide individual posts on a one by one basis like I can on FriendFeed.

It also seems like it only went three pages back for me. Would be better to page indefinitely.

To clarify, this isn't something that I or anyone else from FriendFeed created -- it's just a cool app. I don't know anything about the licensing terms.

I wonder who is behind it, I'll repeat my question in the Fan Page then...
- Andrés David Aparicio
it may not be something that FF created, but it's something along the lines of what the FF team ought to consider creating -- maybe as a place to test and experiment with engagement before considering features for broader roll out at Facebook. Creating a FF version of Facebook's news feed, complete with hide functionality, thread bumping, etc. would seem like a far more interesting way to interact with Facebook.

Paul, thanks for sharing it. Andrés, it is indeed BSD-CC licensed and the code is hosted on GitHub: http://github.com/nshah....

Kurzweil Was Right: Bionic Eyesight Is Within Reach | The Moderate Voice - http://themoderatevoice.com/47439...

In The Age of Spiritual Machines, Ray Kurzweil predicts that by 2019 we will all be able to experience 3-D virtual reality through glasses and contact lenses that beam images directly to our retinas (retinal display). Coupled with an auditory source (headphones), we will be able to remotely communicate with other people and access the Internet. These special contact lenses (available also as eyeglasses) will deliver “augmented reality” and “virtual reality” in three different ways: They can project “heads-up-displays” (HUDs) across the user’s field of vision, superimposing images that stay in place in the environment regardless of the user’s perspective or orientation. Virtual objects or people could be rendered in fixed locations by the glasses, so when the user’s eyes look elsewhere, the objects appear to stay in their places. The devices could block out the “real” world entirely and fully immerse the user in a virtual reality environment. Thin, lightweight, handheld displays with...

Of course he's right.
- Roberto Bonini
These visions are silly - except perhaps for the disabled. Who would want to wear a contact lens to see what is more conveniently accessible on external displays? We have perfectly good static and portable display devices today - gluing them to your eyeball just introduces endless pointless problems.

Privacy is overrated - and in the future we will probably have a lot *less* of it. The main problem is not the desirability of the result - it is implementation problems that mean the actual result will not be of much use.
- Tim Tyler
Tim - I would certainly like to have the option to have an augmented reality overlay on my vision. It would be especially useful for navigation in crowded urban areas, for social networking - hell out in the woods it could possibly identify every plant and pretty much anything else you might want/need to know. It sounds like pure win to me.

- Peter Renshaw
You are not factoring in nausea as the image bounces around while eye and head tracking fail. How are you going to get power to a contact lens? Attempts to project onto the retina are not the only way to get mobile augmented reality. You can also project things onto the world with lasers, use conventional displays (held in the hand or mounted on the wrist) or have an oracle whisper the...

- Tim Tyler
Why would you assume that the image bounces around? As for power, I'm not sure it would require much, so maybe some kinetic energy from blinking plus solar ought to handle it. You sound like the guy who thought no one would ever need more than 640k of RAM in their computer.
- Internet's Tad
I was not *assuming* that - I have some idea of the sensors and performance needed to perform that task in real time, is all. Solar power from a contact lens is an even sillier idea.
- Tim Tyler
Even if I would love to use them, more than the power issue I think the biggest issue is the control of the information reaching the lenses. If the communication is compromised and the outside world can be shut out with a command, we are in for a terrible ride. Even by changing small bits of data here and there there could be trouble. So, power source is an issue but I think that can be worked out; the security issues are more difficult, I think.

Here's what we have now - http://www.brother.com/en... - probably by the specified 2019 they will replace the half-mirror with something small, reflective and close enough to the pupil to be practically invisible. You'll have to look directly at it, but doing that is managable. It seems likely to remain a geek toy, though.

"Alejandro, ¿exactamente qué haces tu cómo grafólogo? ¿Grafología forense? ¿Descubres rasgos de personalidad? La que está siendo cuestionada es la segunda porque pretende hacer cosas que no puede hacer (como ha sido demostrado). Tampoco es cuestión de ser predecible al 100% pero si hay un margen que la sacaría del simple azar y no es así. Si los estudios dicen es más que azar, entonces funciona. Si no, no. Simple. Ahí está la apuesta del dueño de casa justamente para eso."

Re: Por los perros de Pirque - http://www.adapar.net/2009...
"A "Capturar, esterilizar y liberar" yo le agregaría necesariamente el cuidado post-operatorio. Creo que es importante enfatizar y educar en este punto porque, como dije en un comentario anterior, esterilizar y liberar es doloroso y peligroso para los animales. Un ejemplo: hace unas semanas y como parte de Animalia UC (que busca ayudar a los perros del campus San Joaquín de la Universidad Católica) se hizo una jornada de esterilización por voluntarios de la Universidad de Chile. Uno de los puntos más importantes para decidir si se esterilizaba o no a un perro ese día era saber si alguien se lo podía llevar a casa durante una o dos semanas (dependiendo del sexo) para el post-operatorio. Esto implicaba limpiar la herida, estar atento a que no se hiciera daño, alimentarlos, etc. En casa tuvimos a dos perros durante una semana y uno de ellos estuvo bastante mal. Si hubiera sido liberado sin cuidado post probablemente se habría infectado terriblemente. Sobre la tenencia responsable: no me..."

Re: Por los perros de Pirque - http://www.adapar.net/2009...
"Tu lista de consideraciones es buena pero hay cosas que me gustaría aclarar: i) Podrías contarnos qué han hecho las municipalidades que mencionas y cómo lo han logrado? No tenemos cargo público ni nada parecido y si tienes información que nos pueda ayudar te agradecería que nos contaras. iii) Ser animal territorial no implica que al faltar el animal en un lugar venga otro; ser territorial implica que se mueve en una zona que, podríamos decir, considera como propia. Es decir, es su territorio. Si sacas a un perro de un sitio no necesariamente implica que llegan otros, eso depende de otros factores que no tienen que ver con su territorialidad directamente. iv) No es claro a quién te diriges o a qué parte de los videos o de lo escrito estás haciendo referencia con aquello de "creerse con derecho a matar animales". En términos generales estoy de acuerdo con que matar por matar no es la solución: es cruel, inhumano y sin un manejo adecuado de los cadáveres puede generar problemas de salud..."

Re: Por los perros de Pirque - http://www.adapar.net/2009...
"La esterilización sin cuidados post-operatorios sería tan cruel como envenenarlos sin razón. Más que la única solución, es parte de una solución más completa. Los refugios son un problema por lo que comentas y además porque generan una sensación de comodidad que impide generar conciencia sobre otros problemas; la eutanasia como tal es problemática en la medida en que se usa cómodamente y no pensando en el bienestar del animal, hay casos donde la eutanasia es válida y ética: perros enfermos con dolores terribles y que no tienen tratamiento posible por ejemplo. Otro punto importante es que tampoco se puede dejar que los perros vaguen libremente porque se convierten siguen siendo un problema de salud pública, esterilizarlos sólo resuelve la aparición de nuevos perros callejeros pero los existentes continúan siendo vectores de enfermedades, esparciendo basura, etc. Una solución integral debe contemplar la esterilización, los cuidados post-operatorios, la eutanasia en casos extremos, la..."
