My Facebook privacy settings. Excuse me, but I don't see what the fuss about "pushing people to make everything public" is all about. The settings are there for a reason: so that you can change them if you want.

No it doesn't for apps that you install, but you can also edit what info apps your friends use can access. I pulled all access to those

"Publicly available information" now includes your name, profile photo, list of friends, pages you are a fan of, gender, networks to which you belong, and current city. PAI used to be only name and networks. This you have no choice about. The rest is all about defaults, most people go with defaults and FB has pushed almost everyone to more openness whether they understand it or agree with it or not.
- LogEx
Where are you getting this from? That's not true, because I can do a search right now for people whose friends and pictures I can't see. For the record, I even signed into FB with a different account (my LJ one) and tried to view the profiles of people on my IRL account. I can't see their friends, and can't see the gender of at least one of them. I can see networks and pages, but I don't find that troublesome

Everyone I know who makes their account that private (usually school teachers), either lies or doesn't bother filling out that info anyway. I don't see the big deal.

The hook is that most people don't ever change their settings, so flipping this switch just turned all their stuff public. If you've changed Your settings, FB respects them. But a ton of people just had their accounts pushed into being public. Not cool, and a breach of the trust that originally drew people to FB.
- David Chartier
from iPhone
Ah... David, that makes sense. I had already restricted my settings early this year, so that explains why my post-newest-change settings were pretty well locked down. @LANjackal, I believe the friends list restriction has only happened very recently, however.
- Andrew C
I can see why it's a big deal to some people but Facebook doesn't force you to post this info and it's sheer laziness not to even look at the privacy settings. It's a bunch of dropdowns, it's no more complicated than using the rest of the site, and it's not like they didn't tell people either - the notice was huge.

Here's the bigger issue. This nice little "underhand" Facebook pulled has gotten some attention from the Lawmakers. If the users begin to strong arm Sites pulling these tactics then they may get the message. Otherwise? We may get "Legislation" from a bunch of clueless men and women in a bubble. Who the hell wants that! That's why I "deactivated" my Facebook account today and will never go back.

Why is the "show friend list to everyone" option NOT stuck in with the rest of the privacy options?
- Andrew C
I don't know, but I do submit that the problem of different privacy settings being scattered all over the UI hasn't been addressed by the update. But then again there are people who would complain if the settings weren't at the friends list box itself. The same with pic album privacy. The settings ARE there, though.

- Kamilah Gill
When I was doing the Thanksgiving food drive with the kids, I was shocked when I saw Hamburger helper, Tuna helper, CHICKEN helper, and now this? DAMN
- Shevonne
Now see they got it all wrong. They should have named it quite simply: "Wok Helper". My dad would have bought that. ;)
- Melanie Reed
Shevonne - This is just a rebranding. They've had these flavors for a long time; they just recently rebranded the separate Hamburger and Chicken Helpers to simply "Asian Helper." BTW - I'm pretty sure there's also a Pork Helper (there used to be, at least).
- Curtiss Grymala
Kamillah - I'm with you, but when you have three kids and both parents are working full-time, you don't always have the time or the money to have real food all the time. The "Helper" boxes are great for quick, cheap, easy meals that most of the family will actually eat
- Curtiss Grymala
I prefer the liquid meal bases, Chicken Tonight and the like
- Bryce Roney
I miss Chicken Tonight. :) You can't find it around here anymore. But as far as the Helpers...they are indeed great for a quick fix meal. I always get just the regular cheese mac one and throw in veggies and then serve it with a salad.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I don't buy that stuff. Too expensive and it doesn't make much food. I much prefer to use a pound of ground turkey, a pound of cooked elbow macaroni, 1 big bag of frozen veggies (cooked), and my special sauce consisting of 2 cups of water, 2 beef bouillon cubes, 4 tbs corn starch, and 4 tbs of soy sauce. Combine and feed an army.
- April Russo (app103)
Was laughing already, but Christopher's comment really made me crack up. @tinypants - I find the international foods aisles lots of fun, but so far I've always had the chance to get more authentic stuff at markets actually run and aimed at their immigrant audiences and there's way more stuff there. ... that said, it is impressive to see how much Superstore and Save-On have done to cater to immigrants.
- Andrew C
Asian Helper is surprisingly good.
- Jon Ursenbach
@Andrew: Yeah, I personally prefer those types of markets. We have a really good Mexican market as well as a good Asian market here in my town and they're fantastic places to visit. Such an amazing variety of products and it's nice to have things that haven't been "Americanized". I only mentioned the international foods aisle in comparison to the Asian Helper because at least that's a step in the right direction. LOL :)
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Now with the small percentage of bugs that the Helpers are allowed to include in their seasoning mix, this only seems fitting to call it Asian. If it came from Thailand, you know they'd have a waterbug version. I hear they taste like nuts.

My results were that UltraDNS was the fastest, besting 8.8.8.8 by 80%
- Kurt Starnes
My results are the same as Louis' for Comcast
- Jesse Stay
Google DNS has been slower across the board. Even against other 3rd-party services like OpenDNS, Google DNS loses. Stick with your ISP's DNS.
- Jason Huebel
Google is beating OpenDNS for me here. Haven't tested up against my ISP since they are blocking certain swashbuckling sites on behalf of the danish government....
- Rasmus Lauridsen
Here's my benchmark using ns_bench: http://friendfeed.com/jhuebel... i would assume that the country you live in would affect your DNS tests significantly. I live in the US, so OpenDNS and Google have servers in my country to test against.
- Jason Huebel
I think the results can vary quite a bit from country to country.
- Matt Cutts
Yup If I remember correct OpenDNS have their Euro servers in London. Not sure where Google are hiding their euro servers.. Best bet is definitely testing where you get the best speed and use the fastest.. But you probably want to keep testing once in a while, cause if I know google right they will make theirs better quickly.
- Rasmus Lauridsen
the reason why you'd even need a tool like this is that each ISP and even each region in which that ISP is located, routes differently. Comcast's DNS is faster than google's when for example comcast's is sitting in the same building as the place your cable connects to. Funnily enough, I'm on comcast in fort lauderdale, and it suggest's AT&T's DNS in naples. Note that a lot of this is mitigated by having a router (eg. wifi) that caches DNS requests.

Derrick, what do you find appalling? the photo itself or the hair?
- Marissa
I think you, the photos, and the hair are all fine, Marissa. I'm appalled at how men, grown ass men are talking to you. You're better than that. And I thought they were better than that.
- Derrick
Ohhhhhhh lol, okay. yeah the way they talk doesnt really offend me... i take it with a grain of salt. haha i was about to be really offended by you though. but thanks =] I know i'm better than the ones who aren't kidding. which is why it doesnt really bother me.... none of the things said are too terrible though
- Marissa
The fact that you weren't offended is one thing, Marissa. *I* was offended. No one should be talked to like that. No one.
- Derrick
thanks for saying something =]

You take care of yourself, Marissa. Never sell yourself short, you hear me?

I like the color on you quite a bit, Marissa.

"3. Ignore the marketing drivel. [...] /You need a forged knife. It should have a full bolster (for safety!). It must have a full tang (your sign of quality!)/. At one point in history (somewhere in the 14th century), some of this was actually true. Most of it never was."

I've started reading this guy's book (An Edge In The Kitchen) and it's pretty awesome.
- Andrew C
So he says you don't need a forged knife and then recommends a bunch of forged knives? I'z confuzed.
- Alex Scoble
He's saying forged isn't a necessary condition. In the book he does say that many forged knives are good, but he also promotes machined knives like a Global or MAC.
- Andrew C
The MAC Professional series that he lauds are all forged knives.
- Alex Scoble
I adore my two Globals. Highly recommended as well as my Kyocera ceramic.
- Dave Roth
Huh. Well, I didn't bring the book to work, but I remember him talking about MACs as machined knives... I'll check it again tonight. (edit: although some websearching turns up a store that says MAC Professionals are stamped blades: http://www.cookswares.com/discuss... )
- Andrew C
The Pro series are plainly forged blades http://www.macknife.com/profess... The only way to get a shaped metal bolster is by forging the knife. You can't stamp those.
- Alex Scoble
How do you figure?
- Andrew C
Can't you weld those bolsters on, as the cooksware link describes?
- Andrew C
Hmm, I may stand corrected...Apparently you can...for those prices though, I'd rather have a Shun forged knife. Makes no sense to me to get a stamped knife when you are spending over $100 for a blade.

The Shun knives are sweet. Anybody have any experience with them?

One last thing: http://forums.egullet.org/index... - the author makes a clear distinction between "stamped" and "machined" here.

Interesting...and he says that the Shun knives are machined and not forged?

Bad bad bad bad idea!
- SAM
Scott, please explain.
- AJ Batac
Waiting for green with one's foot on the gas, and being able to anticipate that moment more quickly just doesn't sound like good defensive driving to me. IMO, the light turns green and you're still obligated to look both directions before going. This doesn't do anything for safety. It amazes me how impatient people are while driving. It's something I've thought about a bit: http://www.culturesculptor.com/bloghtm...
- SAM
Oh and just realized I wasn't subbed to you AJ... that is now fixed!
- SAM
Thanks Scott.
- AJ Batac
You could probably design it to be safer: less segments on the red-light countdown so you know if you are minutes or seconds away from getting a green (but far enough apart that you can't accurately predict the change).
- Matt Mastracci
Or you could do what is done in Britain, and other countries no doubt - the light changes from red to orange and then to green.

I think SAM's on the mark with this one. It's bad enough having people trying to sneak through the last second of a yellow light, but having them revving the engine to jump the beginning of a green light is a recipe for disaster. Maybe Matt's fix would work (make the timing granularity low), but I think it would have to be unpredictable, or of an extremely low granularity (e.g., 10-30s) to prevent gaming.
- Joel Webber
In Amsterdam the light goes yellow+red a few seconds before it turns green. The downside of this is that people who run yellows (or run reds) are far, far more likely to get hit by someone racing out of the gate on a green light they were ready for. These timers would be nice, but there needs to be a corresponding increase in the pause between one side's new red and the other side's new green.
- Kevin Fox
On a related note, how many drivers here use the pedestrian walk countdown timer as a hint as to whether they need to speed through their green and beat the yellow/red?
- Kevin Fox
I'm less likely to speed through intersections with countdown timers, but I don't know if that's a universal experience. If anything, this design prompts some interesting explorations in psychology and civil engineering. :)
- Matt Mastracci
This is a brilliant idea for those looking to follow the 8 second rule (of thumb). If you're idling for more than 8 seconds, it is more efficient to turn off your vehicle than to stay idling beyond that point.
- Mitch
Kevin, I use that to anticipate the yellow/red (pedestrian walk light) but not to speed through green.
- AJ Batac
Oh what an awesome idea! Perfect for turning city streets full of pedestrians and cross-traffic into a race track.
- April Russo (app103)
When the light changes yellow, I know it will soon be time to cross.
- Vezquex: God of FF
Loading 'bar' or not, people already do what Scott is afraid of. (I'm guilty every now and than) Drivers watch the lights for the other lanes; when those turn yellow they know their light will be green soon and begin to inch forward. Implementing something like this will only cause drivers to continue staring forward rather than looking to the side and watching the wrong light.
- Joshua
Creative..
- ★ Soner Gönül
Timer lights are common in China and everyone uses them to get a head start, which as you can imagine, leads to a number of accidents as others are racing to catch the other light before it change. While I can understand the value in moving cars along a road, timing/pacing lights (and letting drivers know the appropriate speed) does so as well.
- Andrew Leyden
Best. Idea. Evar.
- Will Higgins™
Agreed with SAM: bad idea.
- LouCypher
There is another advantage to non boy racer and more lazy types, myself included, atleast when the timer bar is full, you know can look away and not get honked at, rather than staring wide eyed and giving yourself a bad neck.
- Leighton Gough
I use the pedestrian walk lights all the time, to gauge how much green is left and how quickly it's going to turn from red to green. Doesn't mean you don't still have to pay attention to the cars, though, because everyone in LA turns left on yellow/red.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
there's a gap between lights on the different directions (depending on the intersection's programming) so knowing when one light will turn green does not mean that the other light just turned red... it could have turned red 2 seconds ago... people who will jump the gun and run a light are going to do it with our without this cool countdown red light timer
