DISGRASIAN OF THE WEAK! Asian-American Women Most Likely to Attempt Suicide at Racialicious - the intersection of race and pop culture - http://www.racialicious.com/2009...
Melissa, iTod Pouch, Homer Gaines and 6 other people liked this
"Asians love being the best. But here’s one superlative we don’t love–Asian-American women are most likely to think about and attempt suicide, more than all other Americans, according to a new University of Washington study. The study, published in the current issue of the Archives of Suicide Research, found that 15.93 percent of U.S.-born Asian-American women have contemplated suicide in their lifetime, as opposed to 13.5 percent for all Americans, and that suicide attempts among us were also higher than the general population, at 6.29 percent vs. 4.6 percent."

from Bookmarklet
That's surprising. As someone who suffers from depression and has considered suicide many times, I tend to pay attn to media reports of suicide (granted, most suicides don't make the papers, I guess). The only Asian-American woman I remember committing suicide is the author of the "The Rape of Nanking".
- Spidra Webster
hmm. i feel like a large percentage of the suicides (and attacks) that happened at my alma mater involved asian females. and yes, there were enough while I was there for me to keep a running tally :( i suppose this might explain it.

Oh, I can totally believe this. I've had 6 female friends in HS kill themselves. All Asian. College was much worse. The pressures of fitting into boxes and such has to suck.

it's just food coloring. at worst, your mouth will look like you ate a rainbow.
- jbrotherlove
Yeah, when I made one similar to this, I just made really thin layers of a white cake and used bright food coloring to make each layer a different color before I baked them. It was easy, but a little time consuming. I frosted the outside white and then made a rainbow on top of it with colored frosting and used the rest of the colored frosting to make rainbow confetti spots on the sides. I used square cake pans so that the slices would look more like one of those color spectrum sticks.

- Mona Nomura
Oh, but I guess you mean the other side of search (getting Google to pick up your stuff)... just caught that... I need to learn how to use Google to look up stuff on FF instead of looking up stuff on FF, I guess!
- Lindsay
Lindsay - let me put it this way. One year ago today, I was not Googleable. Fast forward 365 days and my content is searchable. Apparently I can be looked up by my first name (I don't see it, but Chris mentioned I'm on the first page) I attribute that to FriendFeed and the FF community :)
- Mona Nomura
I have always had a bunch of pages (at least the first 12 or so) in Google when I look myself up (I've never been shy about putting my name on stuff I do on the net) so it never occurred to me to try to use Google to look up my stuff on FF. But that issue aside, and back to your original question, I would like to know if I can get my FF direct posts into an archive somewhere... especially concerned since I can't search for anything older than 6 months... is everything really still even there?

Bruce, give me a little credit -- I'm pretty sure I haven't been brainwashed. For what it's worth, I spent the majority of the time talking, including quite a bit of time talking about the fact that Facebook has a poor reputation among many people. Also, I believe your claim that they are using your picture in ads is incorrect -- see http://cbs5.com/local...
- Paul Buchheit
Paul, plain and simple: why did you sell FF? (you told me you wouldn't, in our chat)
- Luca Sofri
The same reason anyone sells their labour. Go read Wealth Of Nations by Adam Smith, 18th century economist. Profit :)
- Mark
Ok, it would be an answer. But I didn't hear from Paul. Here is what he told me about selling to Google: http://friendfeed.com/lucasof...
- Luca Sofri
I like you, and I'm more than willing to give you a little credit. It's just that "Trust me, Facebook is OK" is a big pill to swallow. And I'm not going to try hard to defend what I wrote; the goal was more to spill the worst inside thoughts/impressions than to present a solid argument. Maybe it's unreasonable to suggest you were brainwashed, but reassure me anyway!
- Bruce Lewis
Bruce, the answer is very simple: Paul is fully aware of any outright manipulation and/or attempts to dupe him that may or may not have taken place before this deal was concluded. Let's give him at least that much credit. But the Paul you "know" is only part of the Paul that Paul knows, and that other Paul knows what's best for Paul, April and Thomas, their offspring and future chance of feeling proud on account of him being "their son the doctor!" ;-))

- Bruce Lewis
Luca, what I said was true -- we weren't looking for anyone to buy FriendFeed. However, after talking with a lot of people at Facebook, we realized that this is the best way forward for both the product and the team.
- Paul Buchheit
ok, still curious about what made you think that, but you deserve our trust and patience. Let us know.
- Luca Sofri
Bruce, I've only been here for 4 months (of rather intensive participation - 3500+ comments, or approximately 6 times my previous yearly total), but it's been clear to me from the start that FF has to evolve or die.

- Federico Bolsoman
Paul, I added an editorial note next to the part about ads. What I don't know about is why this is the best way forward for the product. A brief comment probably won't fully answer that question; I eagerly await a blog post.
- Bruce Lewis
I had dreams about discussing this on real-time posts. Not kidding.
- Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
I would also really like to see FriendFeed's view on this acquisition. It'd be really cool to see what the FF guys were thinking when they made this move as I know a good portion of the users are confused by it (I understand this is unprecedented and highly uncommon with deals like this). I would also really like to see exactly whether Paul and the team have official word that FriendFeed will continue on as a separate product and whether development will continue.
- Brandon Titus
I understand it's asking a lot to get this kind of communication from any company when it is fully within your write to make your own deal in whichever way you wish for whatever reasons you wish. I believe you guys are different though and will be more than able to communicate with the users. :-)
- Brandon Titus
This is a mute point, the deal has been made and we must now either support it or move to another environment more suited to your needs. I'm not shocked that FriendFeed decided to sell, I'm surprised but not shocked. Most software / technology companies start up with the hopes that someone would pay big bux for the smarts and technology produced. I have to respect the decision...

- Owen Greaves
Owen: I'm not saying I'm shocked and I certainly respect their decision. I am just saying that if Paul and co. want to keep the majority of the community who is up in arms, they should have open communication about the reasons for the deal and the future of FriendFeed (in simple but thorough and official terms that say more than Paul's personal promise since he, unfortunately, no longer has full control over the product anymore).
- Brandon Titus
Brandon: I get it, but they don't have to do anything, they don't have to confer with the community...sure we want them to but when the rubber meets the road they don't have to do anything. It still sucks and I don't like it either but it is what it is. Sorry if I sound cold on the topic but it's done, let's try to move on.

When it comes to FF, both "moot" and "mute" may be apropos.
- Kathy Fitch
Owen, the decision to stay or leave is not a clear choice because we don't know if what will is being offered if we stay. We have no idea if or when Facebook will become as good as Friendfeed is today.

Obviously I can't provide a lot of detailed plans and guarantees, but I can tell you that I'll do my personal best to ensure that the FriendFeed users and community are treated right. I love this product too, and don't want to see it disappear.

In fact, just hearing you speak on the point is encouraging - the open lines of communication between the FriendFeed team and its users has always been one of the great things about FriendFeed that I'm afraid will be lost with the Facebook buyout. And yes, a FFundercats appearance would be a great idea.

From the other hand, I know how corporates work and it takes one small decision of share holders to close Friendfeed...

- Nir Ben Yona
My first reaction is disappointment. I don't believe big corporations do better than small ones. Facebook is inferior to FriendFeed, although it's user base is much larger. Clearly FriendFeed won't survive in the long term, unless it is open sourced. Why not open up and embrace the wonders of the GPL instead of joining forces with the Walled Garden no #1? Facebook don't even operate with permalinks,.

There are a few promises and guarantees that you SHOULD be able to provide. Like, that our network of friends will remain intact and that the features that make this site great will remain. If you can't make those promises, then you shouldn't have done the deal. I sure do hope that the real-time search engine wasn't the centerpiece of this deal (it probably was), because that certainly...

and let me add second, obvious, "Facebook needs" - Friendfeed bookmarklet, and Friendfeed tools - widgets, embedding - real time and not - of posts, and groups ...to embedd, to inject oneself into this thing called Internet ..... so, if FB listens to FF engineering long enough, they are going to get it .. right

Paul, what I am worried is not that you're brainwashed, but that there's simply no business need for Facebook to improve FriendFeed from now on, period.
- Ihar Mahaniok
I have confidence Paul. While some of the comments were probably uncalled for, covering an investment (of time and money) in these times to move on and hopefully provide even 'better stuff' makes sense to me. It's pretty obvious there are a LOT of people that don't want to 'lose' Friendfeed. (I wouldn't hold a town hall for a few weeks though :)
- Charlie Anzman
Congrats, Paul. It's sad that people have to make these uncalled for hatred comments about Facebook though. Why can't both sites work together. I think Facebook will do better with FF and vise versa. Take the good features of both services. Don't boycott FB, enjoy it. I'm sick of the negative comments going on, that's all. :(
- Mol, FF Music Lover
Because I don't think Paul and the other FF developers would allow FB to do anything. I'm sorry, I am not going to think negative here like some here are. I guess I'm a fangirl for FB.
- Mol, FF Music Lover
Finally something about the changes on the horizon that isn't all d0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0om and whining. Thank you, Paul! :D

Paul, what about the content scam that FB T&C is, does it apply to Friendfeed now? Should we all start writing scripts to retroactively delete all content ever uploaded to Friendfeed? Elaborated a bit here - http://friendfeed.com/mbravo...

Wonderfully absurd escapes from mortal danger in the original G.I. Joe cartoon. - By Adrian Chen - Slate Magazine - http://www.slate.com/id...
Iván Abrego, iTod Pouch, chaz2b and Rui Pereira liked this
"The first war between G.I. Joe and Cobra (1985-86), as documented in the G.I. Joe animated series, was the most violent conflict in history never to result in a single casualty. Through a combination of terrible aim, superhuman jumping ability, and impossibly reliable parachutes, every combatant escaped even the most dire of situations without so much as the angle of his beret askew. The G.I Joe series is an ode to the improbable escape, and the thrill of the violence comes not from the possibility of death but from the zany ways the Joes and Cobras avoid it. (Will the live-action G.I. Joe film due later this summer stick to the cartoon's bloodless ways? Not likely.) Herewith, a collection of the most ridiculous escapes in G.I. Joe history."

Yup, 2.0. It was all downhill from there. For some reason that's still the fastest C compiler I've ever used, even though it was running on a 25 MHz 386.

Wow this is close to when I got Turbo C++ 1.0, maybe? ~1992.

In 1989 I was entrusted with the first Mac-port of MicroEmacs 3.9e source code (compiled with Aztec C) by a guy who just got hired by Microsoft, and later rose to become one of their division managers (Hi Earle!). It fit on a floppy, but was a dog to download at 1200 baud.

I have the very same disks. I was recently reminiscing about them and my inability to throw away tech detritus on SuperUser (http://superuser.com/questio...).

Turbo C 2.0 was pretty much the pinnacle of C compiler speed. Everything from then on was slower because they keep on adding features. The whole Turbo C is probably smaller than a typical C++ STL Hello World program.

I stuck with BASIC variations forever... GFA Basic, AmigaBASIC, STOS, AMOS... until I bought a "Learn C Programming" book around '92. That put me off code entirely. :D

Ah, good old Turbo C (Turbo Pascal was good too). I'd have to disagree slightly that it was all downhill after 2.0 -- I thought it was a great product up through 3.1. But they took a serious nosedive in the 4.x period, with the switch to Windows. After that it was all Watcom for me, at least for DOS/Windows games. The tools were ugly, but they worked really well.

I was the Rochester, NY hamfest. I was never a ham though -- we just went for the tech flea market. I always loved overhearing conversations where people referred to each other by their call sign (e.g. "I just had lunch with WA2AAB and KA0GQI"). I guess it was kind of like Twitter ;)

'92? seriously? I was at high school running a pirate ftp site out of my dorm room (ethernet baby!) ME and a buddy were hacking up our own version of dikumud running on the schools sun "server". I don't know when I got my first C compiler, but it must have been < 1990. I remember it came on a disk in a "Teach yourself C" book. Good times.
- Joe Beda
Joe, this was my "first real C compiler" because I first tried to learn C by downloading some freeware C compiler from a FidoNet BBS along with a "learn C" text file (I was very cheap). The problem is that the compiler was not complete, so half the things in the "learn C" text file didn't compile. C was my first language (I never did Basic or any of that), so I was also learning to program, not just learning C. Needless to say, it was difficult.
- Paul Buchheit
I approve of this thread.
- Ted Roden
My first C compiler was in a class at a community college around 1989. We used Mix C, which seems to still exist: http://www.mixsoftware.com/product...

Paul, exactly - Ham Radio was the original "microblogging" network. Not only were we required to keep our messages short, we couldn't use a real alphabet. Imagine if Twitter were all Morse Code. :-)

Hams!!!!! Funny, I just saw this and earlier today I posted a pic of my dad with his gear. http://ff.im/5CH8z He (and many others) is disappointed that learning morse code is no longer required.

BTW Paul: those aren't low-density floppies. If those are 360k, they are double-density floppies. Regular low-density floppies held either 160k or 180k depending on whether they were 8 or 9 sectors per track.
- Gabe
13 years late to the party (1969), I started using C in 1982. Started with Fortran, 6502 machine language (e.g. assembly language without the compiler), Basic, Cobol. Most of my "coding" is in Excel & HTML these days.

I had those 'Turbo-C' compiler 5.25" floppies too, Paul! Aw.. souvenirs..
