Year's biggest full moon lights up sky - Space.com- msnbc.com - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id...
Roney Smith, Roger Carr, Jeff P. Henderson and 44 other people liked this
"The moon will rise this evening right around sunset, no matter where you are. That's because of the celestial mechanics that produce a full moon: The moon and the sun are on opposite sides of the planet, so that sunlight hits the full face of the moon and bounces back to our eyes. At moonrise, the moon will appear even larger than it will later in the night when it's higher in the sky. This is an illusion that scientists can't fully explain. Some think it has to do with our perception of things on the horizon vs. stuff overhead."

now I've just got to figure out where I'm going to try and shoot it from in San Francisco.
- Thomas Hawk
Scientists can explain it. We learned about this in some psychology course I took in college. Basically an object that is high in the sky has no reference. When the moon is on the horizon it is near objects which your brain can comprehend the size of: trees, homes, etc. Without reference the moon looks small despite it taking up the same space on your retina.
- Benjamin Golub
The other explanation is that there is some sort of lens-magnification effect because there is more moisture for the moon-light to go through. In photographs, the moon is actually larger closer to the earth - so it's not just our idea that it "looks" larger because we can compare it to other things. It doesn't "get smaller" or "get larger" when a plane passes between you and the moon. Scientists are a bit loony - like moon-struck or something when they try to explain stuff which has no explanation.

Fed Refuses to Disclose Recipients of $2 Trillion (Update1) - http://bloomberg.com/apps...
Roney Smith, Robert Fischer, Mathew A. Koeneker and 21 other people liked this
"The Federal Reserve refused a request by Bloomberg News to disclose the recipients of more than $2 trillion of emergency loans from U.S. taxpayers and the assets the central bank is accepting as collateral. Bloomberg filed suit Nov. 7 under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act requesting details about the terms of 11 Fed lending programs, most created during the deepest financial crisis since the Great Depression. The Fed responded Dec. 8, saying it’s allowed to withhold internal memos as well as information about trade secrets and commercial information. The institution confirmed that a records search found 231 pages of documents pertaining to some of the requests."

I think that if me and my children are going to be put on the line to pay the money back that I ought to be entitled to know where the money specifically is going. If that means people short the hell out of a bank that got a lot of money, so be it. We need more transparency in Govt. $2 Trillion is a lot of money to not know where it's going.
- Thomas Hawk
@Thomas when the bank loans you money, they want to know where it's going. shouldn't we know where the money we loaned out (without a choice I might add) went? hell yeah!
- Jason Shultz
from twhirl
Thus, I think we've found the difference between a true democracy and a republic like America. In this sense, we've trusted our elected leaders to make these decisions for us. This bailout was not on any special election ballots, so there does need to be a certain level of trust here. If there are issues, take it up with your congressperson.
- Chris Reichow
Bless Bloomberg for their efforts, but this money is gone. Which financial institutions received it and what crappy paper the Fed accepted in exchange will eventually come out and it will probably be horrifying and everyone will wring their hands and it will be too late to do much about it. Like all the bailout money and most of our national debt, it will never be paid back.

Odd as is it may sound, the Federal Reserve isn't really part of the US Government... They don't need to follow the same rules as "real" government agencies...

After seeing McCain with Jon Stewart 13 or so times, watching him back in 2002 on SNL as a hippie high school teacher, and seeing him on SNL in the last few months making fun of his age, I sorta get the impression he has... well... a sense of humor. He can be a funny guy. Hasn't anybody else noticed?
- Ken Sheppardson

- Warner Crocker
A great divide in contemporary American culture: crony capitalists vs. creative capitalists. Crony capitalists hate creative capitalists and feel threatened by them. That's the subtext here if you dig deeply. The Bush 43 administration (of which McCain is a part) is the last angry gasp of a particular class of crony capitalists who want to annihilate everything that they can't understand or control. The Internet is full-throttle creative capitalism -- it drives these people nuts.

- Kevin Bondelli
This was on December 7, and the clip leaves out a part where he is using a blog as an example, so it is tough to determine whether he was being playful or not. I think the selectiveness of the clip is unfortunate. Anybody know where the whole piece is?
- Dennis E. Hamilton
from twhirl
Ken: I watched the video. McCain can be charming and likable in spurts. He's also a very angry man who is going to push the same war agenda in the Middle East as Bush/Cheney, at the behest of his neoconservative and crony capitalist puppeteers. If you think "Bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran" is funny, along with $200 to $400 a barrel oil prices, you'll be impressed by McCain's wit and brilliance. Joseph Lieberman, who knows McCain well, praised him as a "Maccabee" -- an Old Testament holy warrior.

@Robert Scoble: McCain's hatred of bloggers is evidence of blogger power. If a guy who can't use a computer feels the impact of bloggers, it's a cause for celebration, no?
- Michael Markman
@Sean McBride: pedantic nit: Maccabee doesn't appear in the Old Testament. He appears in the Apocrypha.
- Michael Markman
There's a massive lack of any kind of a sense of humor going on in this campaign, especially when it comes to McCain. He used a crack about beating his wife when he felt that a reporter asked him a "Have you stopped beating your wife yet, Senator?" question, and he got beat up about it. There have been many similar instances, and maybe this is one, too. I don't particularly like John McCain, but I think everyone needs to stop jumping his shit about trivial crap.
- David Worrell
Michael: a man who attends to the details -- I like that. :) Let me rephrase: the Maccabean meme -- the archetype of the ethnic nationalist holy warrior -- is a product of the Old Testament mindset or culture. (And there are many fine things in the OT -- I am not using the term in an exclusively pejorative way.) In any case, Lieberman praising McCain as a Maccabee doesn't inspire confidence in me about McCain; nor is it a tribute to McCain's sense of humor (or even sanity).
- Sean McBride
Note: Joseph Lieberman is also a big fan of Christian Armageddonist John Hagee, a fanatic who wants to set the world on fire, starting in the Middle East. Apparently Lieberman sees signficant similarities between Hagee and McCain.

John McCain's script is being written by the same neoconservatives at the AEI, JINSA, WINEP and other neocon think tanks who have come close to destroying the Republican Party and the conservative movement.

Throughout the nineties I got the strong impression that old school crony and vulture capitalists were utterly baffled and enraged by the smart ass kids from MIT, Stanford and other hotbeds of radical imagineering who created the Internet revolution.

The Ruby thing I looked at was using API for most stuff and reverting to parameters in a post to a form page for actually subscribing to FF people.
- Dave Slusher
I was thinking something along those lines Dave. Forming a HTTP Post from a script.
- Kreg Steppe
I think I have it figured out. Will see if I can work on it later tonight.

I would like to thank FriendFeed for help me find my comment since Twitter, you know, has no search.

i'm excited to see what they roll out for gmail. there has to be a time they take it out of beta though right? i mean 10 million users and still in beta, really?
- Morgan

- Anthony

- Tim Hoeck
They have way more than 10 million users Morgan.
- Paul Buchheit
Ooh, this is cool. Google really knows how to cater to their power users.
- Eric Florenzano
I think this is huge - not just for users, but I think it'll really inspire Googlers to do a ton of really great stuff. And thus innovation is born!

A bit underwhelming at launch but I could see a lot of potential in this.

looks like the 10 million figure was from Techcrunch....."There are currently about 10 million active Gmail users."
- Adam Kazwell
still don't see it on my main account, but all lesser accounts now have it
- MG Siegler
looks like they're still rolling it out - doesn't show in any of my accounts yet. The official GMail blog has the announcement up now, though: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008...

I still don't see it.

Steve Hodson - the excitement I find in this is Google moving the evolving edge of the engineers' 20% time out to the market while the paint is still wet - to more directly involve the participation of the user-base as to the evolution of the product. It is a more direct-democracy, a more intimate relationship with the evolution of the software.. a decentralization and greater inclusion for the decision making process.

Its already available - See here - http://myblogposts.com/what-is...

Mine has shown up, 11pm pdt

Steven - really? marketing speak? ...perhaps I should apply for a job. ;p
- sedgewick
but if you don't like the 'signature' schtick.. perhaps, others wont, it wont gain traction, and wont evolve, fall to the way-side.. better they get feedback regarding it's stupidity now then after they've invested more time and resources to it. the free-market strikes again..
- sedgewick
wish the labs functionality was available in google apps for domains though
