Responses to "Climategate"--the leaked e-mails from Britain's University of East Anglia and its Climatic Research Unit--remind me of the line "Are your feet wet? Can you see the pyramids? That's because you're in denial." Climate catastrophists like Al Gore and the UN's Rajendra Pachauri are downplaying Climategate: it's only a few intemperate scientists; there's no real evidence of wrongdoing; now let's persecute the whistleblower. In Calgary, the latest fellow trying to use the Monty Python "nothing to see here, move along" routine is Prof. David Mayne Reid, who penned a column last week denying the importance of Climategate. Unfortunately for Reid, old saws won't work in the Internet age: Climategate has blazed across the Internet, blogosphere, and social networking sites. Even environmentalist and writer George Monbiot has recognized that the public's perception of climate science will be damaged extensively, calling for one of the Climategate ringleaders to resign.

Adding "climate catastrophist" to my Dictionary of Ridicule. Thanks a lot, Eric :) - LANjackal

Here, smoke this cigarette, and another, and another. Trust me, they're harmless. It's really unfortunate that people now have even more "reason" to continue destroying the Earth. Anyone that doesn't want to move to renewable energy is profiting from our current, unsustainable system and/or an idiot, plain and simple. Neither reason is a good reason not to invest in renewable energy.... more... - ·[▪_▪]·

Robot: you're confusing energy independence - the lack of a need to rely on foreign energy sources - with environmental friendliness. In many cases the 2 goals are at loggerheads. This confusion is part of the reason we've thrown billions at politically rosy but pragmatically unworkable "solutions" such as ethanol and hydrogen. The jury's still out on whether former is actually a net... more... - LANjackal

And I'm not saying we shouldn't invest in renewable energy. We should. But any technology that can't stand on its own in the free market without govt assistance is *economically* unsustainable in the long run. There are no free lunches. - LANjackal

It is easy to see your angle on this argument Robot. The fact of the matter is that the alarmist agenda of the IPCC, is a political tactic to push legislation "Cap and Trade" that is not designed to tackle the extremes of climate change if you accept them at their word. The entire topic is filled with disinformation and how much forcing is actually occurring due to CO2 should be a scientifically determined, paramount endeavor not a political exercise. - Eric Logan

No, i'm not confusing energy independence and environmental friendliness. They are one in the same. Energy independence in the sense of independence from limited resources. Limited resources means limited energy, which translates into supply and demand economics, which implies control and distribution, which is a dependency. The only solution to the dependency is renewable or, better,... more... - ·[▪_▪]·

For example, much of the current push toward efficient... more... - LANjackal from IM

My mention of "Plants get their energy for free" is in reference to the fact that access to the sun's energy is FREE, not that there isn't a cost in extracting the energy.

Also, the reliability is assuming we... more... - ·[▪_▪]·

Energy production transitions will occur when cost per mega watt/hour metrics are competitive or advantageous for new methods. Solar energy production despite recent technological improvements still costs $ 160.00 per mega watt /hour according to D.O.E. estimates. Traditional fired plant based generation gas, coal and nuclear all average approx $ 60.00 per mega watt/hour. The only presently viable clean emission technology that meets demand requirements and cost efficiencies is nuclear energy. - Eric Logan

Amen brother Hallelujah preach the Gospel. Glad someone sees the light :) - LANjackal from IM

Maybe the best solution is a multifaceted solution. When issues get so complex you can't look at a single cause for the problem, it seems to me the complication allows for diversity in the solution(s). No, sun isn't consistent in all places. But I don't think it has to be. The structure of relying on one source of energy has general caused people to assume you need a direct replacement.... more... - Heather

Article in todays WSJ Get the U.N. Out of the Climate Business -http://bit.ly/7bDV8D - Eric Logan

Nuclear is a great alternative. If Americans would stop criticizing the French and realize we can learn some things from them, we might be able to move to nuclear. Nuclear provides almost 80% of France's power and their safety record is excellent. But to follow their lead would require strict regulations to ensure the plants are built and run to very high standards. Something the... more... - ·[▪_▪]·

Nice to hear that from you, robot. Actually the US *already* has strict nuke regs. Too strict, as a matter of fact. That's why no new nuclear plants have been built here for decades. As for spilling waste, I'm an engineer and am very familiar with reactor design. Next gen units are in fact extremely safe with multiple redundancies. The ironic thing is that the increase in the "strict... more... - LANjackal from IM

Your point about regulations preventing movement is a perfect example of exactly why capitalism, er, a free market, doesn't work in some scenarios and why governments must be involved in certain sectors to see progress in the public's best interest.

"When lives are at stake, it's better to be too strict and back away over time" - With that kind of attitude it's no wonder we haven't built anything new. Why did you suggest nuclear as a solution if you're unwilling to create the legislative environment for it? Many of the rules for nuke plants just plain aren't necessary, aren't reflective of advancements in the field, or were slapped... more... - LANjackal from IM

I'm not sure nuclear is really as harmless as you guys make it sound. I know it's not as bad as most people think, but like with any technology there are drawbacks. Nuclear plants require water for cooling, and the most efficient way is to plop down on a river and suck in the passing cool water and send the heated water out downstream. Hot water in a stream is not natural and can... more... - Heather

@Heather That's definitely a concern, but I think the alternative of nuclear is much better than fossil fuels. But like you said before, it will probably take a multi-faceted approach to solve the energy problem. No one tech is going to be the answer. - Shey, Jamaican of FF

"Nuclear plants require water for cooling" - Newsflash buddy: ALL steam-driven powerplants (combustion + steam cycle, nuclear, solar thermal) require cooling. The amount of cooling required is a function of the power output of the plant, NOT the generation method. Translation: a 1600MW solar thermal plant will require just as much cooling and discharge just as much hot water as a 1600MW... more... - LANjackal from IM

@LAN - I think Heather's point about the cooling is that nuclear plants dump their waste water (which is much warmer than the natural water of the environment) is dumped back in to their surroundings. From what I've heard, they use a ton of it. - Shey, Jamaican of FF

Shey: ALL steam-based powerplants do that ... - LANjackal

@LAN It would be interesting to see a comparison of what the volume output of water per watt created would be - Shey, Jamaican of FF

That's a routine calculation, see any applications of thermodynamics textbook - LANjackal

"Your point about regulations preventing movement is a perfect example of exactly why capitalism, er, a free market, doesn't work in some scenarios and why governments must be involved in certain sectors to see progress in the public's best interest." I don't understand this or am having trouble parsing it. If regulations, created and enforced by the government, are preventing movement,... more... - Andy Bakun

+1 Andy. BTW it IS possible to build a nuclear plant that uses less water *per se* by using Helium as the working fluid instead. But wait: that would be a brand new design, which means it would have to go through years of hurdling objections by people who couldn't even tell you how their car works much less a goddamn power plant.

According to Scientific American's October 2009 issue, most of the world's fossil fuel (including natural gas) deposits remain either unexplored or beyond the reach of *current* technology. As the latter improves, so will the proven (the technicality here is that "proven" refers to stuff that can be economically extracted, which means that it changes with time, technology, and prices)... more... - LANjackal from IM

Wow, I really didn't think my comment warranted that kind of response. I guess this topic is reserved for those with technical expertise in physics, thermodynamics, engineering, chemistry... what did I miss? I know I missed something. For some reason though, I thought a small amount of consideration for environmental impact was possible. I guess I'll shut up about the few things I know regarding this thread. (Oh, and I'm not your buddy, pal.) - Heather

All I'm suggesting is that people inform themselves completely about a topic before camping out on a particular position. Technical topics are significantly more involved, which means the time and effort to reach an informed state will be relatively large. The same is true for law, which is one of the reasons I dutifully put "IANAL" before expressing a legal opinion online, for example - LANjackal from IM

So people who don't have "complete" knowledge shouldn't even think about taking sides? I'm seeing such a pathetically small amount of environmental consideration I can't believe this thread started about the environment. - Heather

LOL it appears we will always be on either sides of the battle lines, grav' ;) #donshelmet #picksupaxe - LANjackal from IM

Seriously? *rolleyes* You denialists have it backwards. Climate change denialism is largely a product of the oil and coal industry. The "climategate" emails aren't worth mentioning. Even if you throw out everything they've ever done it wouldn't make any difference. The IPCC reports are arguably some of the most peer-reviewed scientific documents in history, and the IPCC is an... more... - Tanath from fftogo

Way back in time, when the earth was flat and some whackjob proclaimed that no, it was round, I'm sure there were proclamations throughout the land that the science was in and everybody agreed.... And the whackjob was decried a heretic. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)

@Heather: Also in reply to what you said - Exactly. If I'm not a doctor, then it doesn't matter what I think about whether a tumor is cancerous or not because I'm NOT a qualified expert.

Another interesting article from Mi2g. Carbon Conflict ? http://bit.ly/7ZgOKR - Eric Logan

Science deals with evidence. There was never any evidence the world was flat. When people thought that (thousands of years ago), science as such didn't exist. - Tanath

And there is a clear scientific consensus now on AGW. No scientific papers have been published in good peer-reviewed climatology journals contradicting the consensus in nearly the past 2 decades. - Tanath

Your last statement Tanath tells me a lot about how much you have researched this topic. The Anglia e-mails themselves refer specifically to attempts to keep recent dissenting scientific views from being published in two peer reviewed journals the GRL = Geophysical Research Letters and the JGR = Journal of Geophysical Research. Here is a listing of 500 peer reviewed skeptical papers http://www.populartechnology.net/2009... - Eric Logan

I was thinking of this meta-analysis done by Science (a premier peer-reviewed science journal): http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi... It's perfectly understandable to try to keep crap out of otherwise respectable journals. The science journal Nature (another premier peer-reviewed science journal) found nothing in the emails to undermine climate science: http://www.nature.com/nature... - Tanath

How many of those papers are legitimate science though? How many of those journals are fronts for industry? How many of those authors are shills for same? See "Doubt is Their Product" for many examples of these. Industry has a history of creating sham science to cast doubt, prevent regulation and protect profits. The tobacco industry does it, industries relying on many various chemicals and other materials do it, and the oil, coal, and car industries do it with global warming. - Tanath

@LAN- I had an entire class in college that was devoted to smacking the idea "Opening the decision making process to non-experts only results in poor decisions and doesn't improve the situation at all." in the face. Why are technical experts the only ones allowed opinions? When your doctor tells you "You need to loose weight" they don't put you in a weight lose clinic and keep you there... more... - Heather

Heather, authorities (eg., experts) are unreliable. The only things that are really reliable are logic and evidence. Even a survey of expert opinion can be unreliable. If you really want the truth you need to look at the evidence. And properly peer-reviewed science papers constitute the most reliable evidence we have. - Tanath

Here's my response to all that: http://xkcd.com/675/ Expertise matters. Period. - LANjackal from IM

Good old xkcd. :) Nothing I said should be construed as contradicting the spirit of that xkcd. Most non-experts just aren't equipped to contribute to any given technical field, but that doesn't change the fact that the only thing that's truly reliable is logic and evidence. Even experts fail to do so at times though. - Tanath

As for the CRU emails, they've been checked, and checked, and checked. See http://www.climatesciencewatch.org/index... and http://www.climatesciencewatch.org/index... - Tanath

I think it's also noteworthy that the vast majority of (english) books skeptical of AGW have been linked to conservative think tanks: http://www.informaworld.com/smpp... - Tanath

Tanath "As for the CRU emails, they've been checked, and checked, and checked" Try "whitewashed" I know how to read and in the case of the e-mails no one has to depend on anyones separate analysis. Nature and The Climate Science watch journal use the exact same press release in the links you have provided. Seth Borenstein from the AP link is part of the story. In fact he penned this... more... - Eric Logan

Jimminy, most FriendFeeders live in undesirable places, like Portland, Seattle, or Phoenix. Despite the fact I've been to those places, they aren't my idea of vacation. Damn, I'm getting mean again. - Cristo

Australia? Turkey? A resort town in WV? - Jimminy Fuller

An old boss is about to retire and has been going to Viet Nam a week at a time every few months or so. He said he gets rooms for $12/night and just chills. - Rodfather

I'd just be happy to get off this continent one day. - Akiva Moskovitz

I've been to Vietnam, and $12/night is not nice. In fact, most of the stuff less than $30 per night is not where'd I'd stay (even though I have). - Cristo

West Virginia. Hahahaha. - Cristo

come to Canada! :) - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF

I've been to Canada. it's like the US, but colder. - Cristo

Have you read "The World's Most Dangerous Places"? I'd love to try some of them out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - T. Brent, technopeasant

Yes, I've read it. And no, I wouldn't want to try ti out. - Cristo

Nathalie, depends. - Cristo

Cristo, YOU ARE A DICK, but yeah it sucks, I'm surprised at the amount of hipsters here, but then again when I realize town is an artistic community based around Carnegie Hall, it makes a bit more sense. You could also come visit where Martha stayed, it's just 20 minutes away. - Jimminy Fuller

Carnegie Hall is in WV? I had no idea. I figured it was in Kentucky or Tennessee. - Cristo

Who's Martha? - Cristo

Martha Stewart - Jimminy Fuller

Oh, interesting. Note that she wouldn't be allowed in Canada. - Cristo

Why wouldn't she be allowed in Canada? - Jimminy Fuller

Jimminy she is a felon. Canada will deny her entry - Uncle CW™

What you could do is get on the United E-fares mailing list (or look it up online) and buy one of their random weekend international trips. While the domestic deals are usually 3-5 days only, the overseas ones can be as long as like 12 days. I had a friend visit Hong Kong for $600 via this option one year. Your US passport is good for VWP entry (Visa Waiver Program) to many countries, but if you look like a bum / student they reserve the right to ding you at the border. - Andrew Leyden

Wow. - Jimminy Fuller

Andrew, thanks for the info. - Cristo

We used to have WestPac that had $19.99 tickets to fly to a mystery destination. It was awesome. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

Yup. Canada even denies US citizens convicted of some misdemeanors, like DUI. - Cristo

FWIW here is a map of counties a US passport holder can 'just show up in' without a visa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Andrew Leyden

Well, you throw a dart at a map with a blindfold on, chances are good the dart will land on a dangerous place. - T. Brent, technopeasant

T. Brent, i can make my own map. ;) And, if you want to be literal, chances are it would fall into the ocean. - Cristo

right. a dangerous place... just clarifying that it is a qualified random-ness we're talking about. :) - T. Brent, technopeasant

Make sure that you pay in cash, when you travel last minute without any luggage. It will make your destination more random. Bulgy underwear helps, too. - Roger Nang

Roger, I think I might not use you as my travel agent. :) - Cristo

I don't think Death Valley is as interesting as many of the other suggestions here, but it has the advantage of being nearby, and since you asked for photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Jason Wehmhoener

Three SEC forms filed over the last two weeks show former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and former Senator and Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham have joined the board of C3, a mysterious startup founded by Thomas Siebel, former CEO of Siebel Systems which was bought by Siebel’s previous employer Oracle for $5.7 billion in 2005. The filings also reveal $26 million of investment. In addition to the two politicians, Siebel has brought on Jay Dweck, a Managing Director and Global Head of Strategies and Technology for the Institutional Securities Group at Morgan Stanley. Dan Levine points out that Dweck could be helpful in the creation of a market for carbon securities. Rounding out the team are former Siebel Systems and Oracles executives Patricia House and Edward Abbo, which suggests the company is developing enterprise software.

How Algal Biofuels Lost a Decade in the Race to Replace Oil | Wired Science | Wired.com - http://www.wired.com/wiredsc...

yesterday from Bookmarklet - Comment - Like - Share

For nearly 20 years, a government laboratory built a living, respiring library of carefully collected organisms in search of something that could grow quickly while producing something precious: oil. But now that collection has largely been lost. National Renewable Energy Laboratory scientists found and isolated around 3,000 species algae from construction ditches, seasonal desert ponds and briny mashes across the country in a major bioprospecting effort to find the best organisms to convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into fuel for cars. Despite meager funding, the Aquatic Species Program (.pdf), initiated under President Jimmy Carter, laid the scientific foundation for making diesel-like fuel from the fat that microscopic algae accumulate in their cells. Fifty-one varieties were carefully characterized as potential high-value strains, but fewer than half of those remain. “Just when they started to succeed is when the plug got pulled,” said phycologist Jeff Johansen of John Carroll... more... - Eric Logan from Bookmarklet

History of Darpa - 'The Department of Mad Scientists,' by Michael Belfiore - Review - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2009...

yesterday from Bookmarklet - Comment - Like - Share

Two years ago, in his book “Rocketeers,” Michael Belfiore celebrated the pioneers of the budding private space industry. Now he has returned to explore a frontier closer to home. The heroes of his new book, “The Department of Mad Scientists,” work for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, better known as Darpa, a secretive arm of the United States government. And the revolution they’re leading is a merger of humans with machines. The revolution is happening before our eyes, but we don’t recognize it, because it’s incremental. It starts with driving. Cruise control transfers regulation of your car’s speed to a computer. In some models, you can upgrade to adaptive cruise control, which monitors the surrounding traffic by radar and adjusts your speed accordingly. If you drift out of your lane, an option called lane keeping assistance gently steers you back. For extra safety, you can get extended brake assistance, which monitors traffic ahead of you, alerts you to collision... more... - Eric Logan from Bookmarklet

Accept Defeat: The Neuroscience of Screwing Up | Magazine - http://www.wired.com/magazin...

yesterday from Bookmarklet - Comment - Like - Share

It all started with the sound of static. In May 1964, two astronomers at Bell Labs, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, were using a radio telescope in suburban New Jersey to search the far reaches of space. Their aim was to make a detailed survey of radiation in the Milky Way, which would allow them to map those vast tracts of the universe devoid of bright stars. This meant that Penzias and Wilson needed a receiver that was exquisitely sensitive, able to eavesdrop on all the emptiness. And so they had retrofitted an old radio telescope, installing amplifiers and a calibration system to make the signals coming from space just a little bit louder. But they made the scope too sensitive. Whenever Penzias and Wilson aimed their dish at the sky, they picked up a persistent background noise, a static that interfered with all of their observations. It was an incredibly annoying technical problem, like listening to a radio station that keeps cutting out. At first, they assumed the noise was... more... - Eric Logan from Bookmarklet

Let's be fair, it looks awful. - 1x29

In biology, we refer to that colorscheme as "aposomatic". It means it's poisonous and will kill you if you consume it. Unless of course it's practicing Muelerian mimicry, where it pretends to be a poisonous thing, when in fact it's tasty and nutritious, like the Viceroy butterfly to the vomit inducing Monarch. - Matthew DeVries

And oh my Bob in heaven...they are totally committed to this "fire" theme. It's like a restaurant that goes all the way to the hilt, calling bathrooms "Buckaroos and Daisies" "Maties and Wenches" etc. - Matthew DeVries

And now I have that stupid Billy Joel song in my head... DAMN YOU SCOBLE - Johnny Worthington

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh I get it now... It's threaded Twitter conversations... except without using Twitter kinda... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah... I wonder if it has the same 'noise problem' as FriendFeed does... - Johnny Worthington

Looks like the type of site where the comments are going to be those of the YouTube variety. - Yolanda

No time/date stamps, which made me a little confused, until I realized the comments were apparently last --> first - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

Does it do machine translation? - SuezanneC Baskerville

#vomits - LANjackal

UGLY! No time stamps, can only see one conversation at at time. It think I'll stay here thank-you-very-much! - Jeff P. Henderson

There are currently no fyres about sex. This site is either fake or not of this Internet. - Andy Bakun

Doesn't really compare to Friendfeed as one of the main features of FF is still that it is an aggregator of all things. But there are some nice ideas in there. Will definitely have a look at it again over the coming weeks, hoping they will clean up the interface a bit. To little screen estate for the actual conversation and too much clutter around it. - Mike Hellers

FriendFeed Comment is the new Yelp Talk. This tweet is useless without screenshots. - Tim Jones

Is this a joke? It should be called HeadAyche. - phil baumann

It's ugly yes, but come on guys, say something new. The ability to break sub-conversations out is interesting. They should look at creating new rooms in IRC. - Kartik Agaram

Also, it seems like the conversations are more like IMs between a small number of individuals, seems like a lot of noise and not much true value... Could just be the quality of individuals participating of course... Something to watch, much like Google Wave in 2010 - Chris Reichow

MEH - Crutis

LOL. Was this designed in Front Page? - Spencer

I remember when everyone thought FriendFeed was ugly. - Robert Scoble

Like Friendfeed, Livefyre allows people to join in conversations, but I don't see how it's better organized. I like the idea of kicking somebody off the thread if he/she gets too unruly, but I'm afraid someone might abuse it in the future and the result would be a thread that only the originator of the thread would like. I would rather have haters on a thread to show a semblance of balance. Livefyre's a great tool and hope to see more improvements in the future. - Robert Sanchez Jr

It's better organized because you can find conversations by tags. So I can see only tech conversations. Here on FriendFeed I see all sorts of conversations mixed together. Also, LiveFyre lets you have threaded conversations, which makes long conversations much more useful. - Robert Scoble

Wait, you can still see after looking at that page? - Jimminy Fuller

Robert, you can really improve your Friendfeed experience by using lists. There's also robust search -- and metadata! I read that somewhere, at least. ;-) - Chris Baskind

I think Robert's point is that FF lists only tag *people*, not conversations. - Michael R. Bernstein

You're spoiling this for me. ;-) - Chris Baskind

hmmm...Michael and Robert has a point there. It takes quite a bit of an effort to search for subjects/topics in Friendfeed/Twitter/Facebook as these seem to be more user-centric sites whereas Livefyre is more of a topic-centric. In Livefyre you can follow a topic instead of a person. - Robert Sanchez Jr

Chris, you probably read it here: http://scobleizer.com/2009... - Bruce Lewis

Interesting how many people are focused on the look rather than the substance. This site has a lot of potential. - Josh Fialkoff

Josh - Pretty is pretty important. I have to stare at that UI for hours and hours. It's best that it not make me stabby and depressed. I don't care if the site cures cancer, nothing is worth staring into that mess for that long. - Matthew DeVries

This is a mess of a UI - If I'm looking for a real FF Clone, I'll go with Cliqset. It's about 2000 times prettier, same function, and none of those uncomfortably lame fire puns. - Matthew DeVries

A comment to the effect that it was odd not to see a fire about sex impelled me to try to start one: "What do you think about sex? Join my conversation happening now on #LiveFyre http://su.pr/1LBCYf " - SuezanneC Baskerville

The site certainly needs UI help, but we're having a great discussion here: http://livefyre.com/?vrvBkX - Josh Fialkoff

Tags? People have to actually *create* those, and conversations are too throw-away to really have that done well, and avoid spamming (witness hash tags). That said, I have a saved search here on FF that shows me entries that have "protip" in the content, and it updates live. FF not having threaded comments is actually an advantage, it keeps things on topic and encourages creating new root entries as things diverge, or creating a room to centralize stuff on a single topic. - Andy Bakun

I'll wait for the new UI in 2 weeks, I don't see anything appealing at all. - Kol Tregaskes

Ugly. Also unusable. Why is the actual talk box so narrow? Nothing like endless amounts of scrolling... I call fail. - Otto

We should call this a ScobleRoll. He shamelessly pimps some site and we all flock to it to see what's going on only to find out it's utter rubbish. Next he'll be like, 'Hey, want to have a personalized site where you can share information with your friends while learning valuable web development skills? http://angelfire.com/ is the way to go. Getting a demo now.' - Akiva Moskovitz

I didn't like how the conversation was updated from the top rather than from the bottom like FF. Trying to catch up on a conversation was a nightmare with the text moving off from where I was reading it the whole time. - 1x29

I can only imagine they are a little gutted to have courted Scoble's help / influence in getting their product more known when the initial feedback is surely what they knew already themselves [i.e. it looks awful! :)] - 1x29

Fire puns are worse than the hideousness. "Is it in brush fyre or wild fyre?" The illusive sex threads are probably called "fyre crotches". It's also kind of insensitive since California burns to the ground every spring. Who wants to participate in a "forest fyre" about the forest fire where your friend grandmother just died. There's no RL analog to a Ff thread or Twitter tag that could offend. - Matthew DeVries

Why wouldn't the illusive sex threads be called "bush fyres?" - Jimminy Fuller

You can't swing a dead-cat without finding someone's profile declaring themselves a "Branding expert". You'd think someone would have told them how horrible and tedious punning up your brand is. - Matthew DeVries

First Look At Blio, Ray Kurzweil’s Tablet-Friendly Ebook Format | Gizmodo Australia - http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2009...

Monday from Bookmarklet - Comment - Like - Share

Blio, officially debuting next week at CES, lets you read your ebooks as they’re intended to look on paper. Clearly, Kurzweil is signalling his choice of tablets over e-ink, and his first shots are definitely persuasive. With apps planned soon for the iPhone and PCs, Blio’s cross-platform functionality makes it a natural fit for something like the Apple iSlate, which along with other tablet devices should be perfect for reading cookbooks, children’s books, and any other illustrated tome. It marks a natural evolution away from the current stock of ebook readers, which are bound by the drab black and white of e-ink. E-ink has manifold problems, but maybe the greatest of those is that it’s just for text, rendering it essentially useless for any book that requires rich illustration. Blio seems to solve that issue, while at the same time offering text-to-speech capabilities that turn your ebook into an audio book. - Eric Logan from Bookmarklet

Persistence is part of attitude. - Alex Scoble from IM

You get attitude from the Sound of Music? -- I get maudlin, saccharine self indulgent pap -- each to his own taste I guess. - Brian Sullivan

If you get all of that and not the good stuff from Sound of Music, Brian, you are indeed falling in to the kind of trap that I'm talking about. - Alex Scoble

I mean, here's a guy who's looking at the prospect of getting shipped off to Germany to join the German Navy and he sings Edelweiss...EDELWEISS! Which of course is a subtle way of poking the Germans in the eye. Even in that situation Georg has a positive attitude! - Alex Scoble

In other words, the whole movie is about keeping a positive attitude no matter what life throws at you. - Alex Scoble

It's not attitude...it's their perception of time. Cats and dogs do very little to no planning for the future and they don't dwell in the past. They live mostly in the here and now. If it happened more than 10 minutes ago, it no longer matters and no longer is relevant to their lives. The past can't hold them back, and fear of the future doesn't exist. - April Russo (app103)

I agree that April's right. It might not be best to compare ourselves to animals. Instead, we need to figure out which human societies have the most happy people and figure out what we might want to emulate. - Kamilah Gill

I don't feel that I'm successful, but no one agrees with me. I can not say I have a positive attitude; I've rarely felt that I have much to make me think positively, However, in 2010, I intend to start emulating some positive folks and doing/seeing/being. I hope the positive attitude will follow as I learn to enjoy what I can do and what I have. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

I think it's about being satisfied with what you've got, not what other's have that you don't. Seriously, we're such a Keep-Up-With-The-Jones's society. Sure, I've got my gadgets like anyone else, but if someone buys a new, shiny thing, I don't have to have one too. What makes a dog happy? Simple things. A scratch behind the ear, a treat after he's done something good. People are like that, too, if we would just slow down enough to think about it. - Jason Huebel

Successful vs. failed? Drive. Happy vs. miserable? The will to be happy. Anyone who leaves their happiness at the mercy of any other entity than themselves will be miserable, regardless of their actual standing in life. I came to this realization when I was 22, and it was probably the biggest epiphany of my life. - LANjackal

Dogs and cats also know they can lick themselves. - Rodfather

LOL, Rodfather! I really doubt gaining the self-licking ability would make me feel more successful. I do not necessarily want to keep up with the Joneses, but I would like to be able to see more of this world, do more than my current level of "success" permits. For example, CES on a pc tech salary?

If Many-Worlds Had Come First - http://lesswrong.com/lw...

Monday from Bookmarklet - Comment - Like - Share

Macroscopic decoherence - the idea that the known quantum laws that govern microscopic events, might simply govern at all levels without alteration - also known as "many-worlds" - was first proposed in a 1957 paper by Hugh Everett III. The paper was ignored. John Wheeler told Everett to see Niels Bohr. Bohr didn't take him seriously. Crushed, Everett left academic physics, invented the general use of Lagrange multipliers in optimization problems, and became a multimillionaire. It wasn't until 1970, when Bryce DeWitt (who coined the term "many-worlds") wrote an article for Physics Today, that the general field was first informed of Everett's ideas. Macroscopic decoherence has been gaining advocates ever since, and may now be the majority viewpoint (or not). But suppose that decoherence and macroscopic decoherence had been realized immediately following the discovery of entanglement, in the 1920s. And suppose that no one had proposed collapse theories until 1957. Would decoherence now... more... - Eric Logan from Bookmarklet

"One Day We’ll All Be Terrorists By Chris Hedges December 28, 2009 "Truthdig" -- Syed Fahad Hashmi can tell you about the dark heart of America. He knows that our First Amendment rights have become a joke, that habeas corpus no longer exists and that we torture, not only in black sites such as those at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan or at Guantánamo Bay, but also at the federal Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Lower Manhattan. Hashmi is a U.S. citizen of Muslim descent imprisoned on two counts of providing and conspiring to provide material support and two counts of making and conspiring to make a contribution of goods or services to al-Qaida. As his case prepares for trial, his plight illustrates that the gravest threat we face is not from Islamic extremists, but the codification of draconian procedures that deny Americans basic civil liberties and due process.

The argument is if this potential scandal had been revealed Kennedy would never have been elected president.

"All potential terrorists must have the terrorist I.D. card in order to be barred from boarding," said Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano. "If you want to get on the no-fly list you'll need a completed application and the $25 fee." Ms. Napolitano said that while the terror suspect's father had warned the U.S. about his son weeks before the incident, the Homeland Security Dept. was tightening rules in that area as well: "In the future, it will be necessary for a terrorist's mom and dad to warn us before we take it seriously."" - William Harryman from Bookmarklet

During my time in Washington, the quantity of information has increased but its quality has decreased. The explosion of advocacy organizations, interest groups and "think tanks" -- along with the growth of cable television and the Internet -- has bloated the supply of studies, factoids, sound bites and blog posts. The decline in quality reflects the polarization of political elites, of both left and right. More raw information flows through political or philosophical filters that screen out facts and arguments that do not fit the approved viewpoint or advance "the cause." (Note, however, that the polarization mainly affects political elites, not the general public. I agree with political scientist Morris Fiorina of Stanford University, who argues that most Americans are more "pragmatic" than "ideological.") - Eric Logan from Bookmarklet

MF/Kol = I live in Kingston on Thames. It's OK apart from the traffic (continually gridlocked) and the shops (girls just lurve them). Handy for getting into London both airports and out to the Thames Valley for work type things. Richmond Park and the river in walking distance is great too. - Andy C

phew.. - Paul Greer

Andy, Richmond Park and the others around there are the appeal really. Good place to go photographing and cycling while being very close to London I think. - Kol Tregaskes

Teddington (across the river from Kingston Upon Thames, is where I think I'd like to live. Just 'cos it's cheaper than everywhere else around it. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

@Kol many years ago, we made the mistake of asking an estate agent in Surbiton whether it was any cheaper than Kingston. She replied 'No - of course not. We are on the fast line to Waterloo' and looked at us as if we were dog excrement. - Andy C

I've checked rental prices in the area several times over the last 2 years and Teddington is definitely cheaper. I'm not buying, no way I can afford that. ;-) All a pip-dream anyway, need a steady job and I've not had that for a while. :-( - Kol Tregaskes

Thanks, everyone! The difficult part is keeping mentally stable during a bout of pain. I'm not handling it as well as I'd like, but I'm working on it. My oncologist put me on morphine (insurance won't pay for oxycontin until I try morphine first), so it should be under control now. - Michael McKean

Glad to hear you are feeling better. Hang in there :) - Eric Logan

I am glad it is more under control now, Michael. It isn't an easy burden you carry - RAPatton

Good Lord, I missed this earlier, but I've been praying for you daily since your first post about your illness popped up in my feed. I will focus those prayers a bit more now. - Jim in Real Time

Keeping you in my prayers. - Lyd
