"more than that, it's a war against the web as an interoperable platform" - Andy Baio

The same criticism probably applies to online teaching evaluations done on 1-5 scales. - Dan Gezelter

"There are discussions saying ‘You’re stealing my content,’ but publishers have complete control on whether that content goes online in the first place. If they want put up a paywall, again, publishers can put up a paywall. We don’t force you to make it free. The other part of the extreme is even if you’re online, that doesn’t mean that we can come in and force you to index your content with us. And this is the whole robots stuff, where if you don’t want to put it in Google, or even just in Google News, you can block it." - Simon from Bookmarklet

I wish this were reaching a larger audience. I heard an interview of one of the Google news guys by the BBC a week ago where the interviewer spent half of the time saying things like, "Explain how you aren't leeches." It was really depressing. Now that I know a little something about a subject that is in the news frequently, it's unsettling how much I took the media at face-value before. - Ryan Moulton

bunları artık hiç ama hiç umursamayın lütfen, adam eşşeğe binip de 150km/s yapmak isterse bmw ye bin diyeceksiniz. Ha şey derseniz müşteriler böyle istiyor diye. O zaman da ie 6 uyumluluk +%25 deyin heyecan olsun :) - Hüseyin Mert

love! - Ashwin Bharambe

I didn't like Computer Modern or Times. I used Century Schoolbook for my stuff, I think (\usepackage{newcent}). - Amit Patel

Sweet! - Ruchira S. Datta

Awesome! - Amit Patel

All math departments are going to ban google now :D - Roberto Bonini

12 MCs all played by the same guy, John Lajoie. My faves are MC Doesn't Know What Irony Is, and the MCs Lethal Weapon 1/2/3/4. NSFW for vulgarity. - Jess Lee

Whaaaaaaaat? - Rich Kearney

Okay, some of the stuff on this guys site is awesome. You must check it out: http://www.mrjerkface.com/ - Otto

Great advice! - Bill Strathearn

"Closure Templates are a client- and server-side templating system that helps you dynamically build reusable HTML and UI elements. They have a simple syntax that is natural for programmers, and you can customize them to fit your application's needs. In contrast to traditional templating systems, in which you must create one monolithic template per page, you can think of Closure Templates as small components that you compose to form your user interface. You can also use the built-in message support to easily localize your applications." - DeWitt Clinton

Right now it is a several step process. Log in to ACM, download PDF, email to Kindle (at $0.15/MB). Not that hard, but a partnership would encourage more people to read more research papers. - DeWitt Clinton

A very good idea, indeed. - Alex Kapranoff

"We asked our editors three questions: what are your favorite pairs of earphones - not headphones? Why? And if you had to choose just one, which would it be? Our answers are below, and most interesting in that different users with different listening preferences have gravitated to many similar earphones. Of the group, only one editor noted a preference for full-sized headphones, and no one recommended clip-on earphones, lanyard earphones, convertibles, wireless, or hybrid earbud-canalphones. Feel free to add your picks to the comments section at the bottom of the page." - Jim Norris from Bookmarklet

Has anyone listened to the difference between a pair of the ER-4P and ER-6i? Similar technology must drive both, but there is a $100 price gap. I'd be willing to pay the price if the sound was really that much better. - Bill Strathearn

What do you know? Valleywag got everything wrong. Google is hiring, not laying off. Also, our interview scores actually correlate very well with on-the-job performance. Peter Seibel asked me if there was anything counterintuitive about the process and I said that people who got one low score but were hired anyway did well on-the-job. To me, that means the interview process is doing very well, not that it is broken. It means that we don't let one bad interview blackball a candidate. We'll keep interviewing, keep hiring, and keep analyzing the results to improve the process. And I guess Valleywag will keep doing what they do... - Peter Norvig from Bookmarklet

Bump. Maybe Ryan didn't get a chance to see that you'd responded, Peter. - Matt Cutts

This is remarkably detailed and complete - Jeremy Zawodny

You must read this if you're writing any kind of systems or performance-critical code. Consider reading it if you're writing any kind of C/C++ code, or even Java (if only to understand why Java wreaks havoc on memory hierarchies). - Tudor Bosman

Anyone who makes HTML should read this. - Kevin Marks

It would be a place where people (students, junior faculty, etc) could learn the ropes of academia and science without the pain and misery that traditionally is required. The differences I can see from existing services is the focus on journal club-style discussions and maybe a low barrier to entry - Shirley Wu from twhirl

can somebody point to the platform for journal club online better then blog post? It's combine everything - presentation (ppt embedded from SlideShare or Gdocs, video embedded from YouTube/Vimeo...) presenter's opinion, discussion section under the post, embedded comments from FF, ranking of the presentation and number of views. Importantly you don't need to register or get account for commenting, it's public and linkable, moderatable . Whole world can participate. What can be better? - Alexey

I don't get most of these! Only posting from the set that I got... - ௸ (k2g) from Bookmarklet

The best two are the ones in the snippet. - Ryan Moulton

"According to surveys, barely a third of Egyptian adults have ever heard of Charles Darwin and just 8% think there is any evidence to back his famous theory. Teachers, who might be expected to know better, seem equally sceptical. In a survey of nine Egyptian state schools, where Darwin’s ideas do form part of the curriculum for 15-year-olds, not one of more than 30 science teachers interviewed believed them to be true." - Simon from Bookmarklet

"FlashSort sorts n elements in O(n) time. Flash-Sort uses a vector L(k) of length m in a first step for the classification of the elements of array A. Then, in a second step, the resulting counts are accumulated and the L(k) point to the class boundaries. Then the elements are sorted by in situ permutation." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

"Summary: After 30 years of practicing peer review and 15 years of studying it experimentally, I’m unconvinced of its value. Its downside is much more obvious to me than its upside, and the evidence we have on peer review tends to support that jaundiced view. Yet peer review remains sacred, worshipped by scientists and central to the processes of science -- awarding grants, publishing, and dishing out prizes. It would be a bold funding body or journal that abandoned peer review, but could we at least do better? I want here to explore peer review -- from a rather personal point of view -- and ask questions about what would be the best system..." - Shirley Wu

Think Big! "Google and I.B.M. hope to train a new breed of engineers and scientists to think in Internet scale." - Peter Norvig from Bookmarklet

The article is short on details re: how much is being made available, but I'm kind of surprised that the NSF or DOE doesnlt have the ability to make the equivalent amount available to these universities. - Bill Strathearn from Android
