Prisons should be used for large-scale dietary research. For example, would a vegan diet reduce violence? Does caloric restriction work on humans? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

I don't know Paul, I've been mostly vegan since 1998, and now on a raw food diet. A few of those years I was a vegetarian as well, and sometimes I ate some meat. I saw no significant difference in my temper (which usually runs short) prior to 1998 and after that. I did see a difference, however, when I worked out regularly. Weightlifting calmed me down. - Raoul Pop

But we can't decide this by just looking one example, Raoul. Probably you're not violent at all. - Can Turanlı

Caloric restrictions might be hard because it has to be tailored to the individual. Intermittent fasting would be a viable approach, though -- just don't offer food every other day. - Gabe

Violence was just one thing to measure Raoul (and of course it would be helpful to reduce violence among prisoners). My main interest is in improving health. It's very difficult to do such research because people self-select, cheat, mis-report, etc, but in prison it would be much easier to do randomized, controlled, long-term studies of the effects of diet on health. - Paul Buchheit

Actually, this has been done already. (I used to work in the field of obesity research, now in oncology.) Prisoners like to be in the studies for the most part because it improves their daily diets; also, even calorically restricted diets are balanced. I was in one of the latter studies myself for two years, and no, I wasn't in prison. ;-) - Heather

Dietary research in captive conditions (where "voluntary" may not mean the same as outside) sounds extremely fishy to me. But then I've never been to a prison, where, perhaps, any chance to break the boredom and improve quality of one's dietary intake may be for real. Only I have difficulties imagining that results from such studies could be equally applicable to civilian population at... more... - ianf ⌘

Alice and I are finally getting serious about our health efforts -- more her than me honestly. Our main focus is on being able to characterize people who are healthy, and one part of that is getting rich datastreams from people in the general population or interesting subsets thereof. I think years ago we talked about the sensing toilet, but my latest kick is dental floss analysis. I'm sure we will get much better data in 10 years. - Daniel Dulitz

Does this really not give you any ethical heebie jeebies? I mean, one one hand, sure, if we're going to base a society on the incarceration of huge numbers of disadvantaged people, then why not get some use out of it, if we can run the studies humanely? But it still evokes thoughts of the Nazis' medical experiments, and raises uncomfortable questions about moral hazard, like using the... more... - ⓞnor

Afraid I'm with e3r on this one. There are just *way* too many opportunities for moral hazard. Perhaps you could get something vaguely like informed consent, but even that seems difficult if you're talking about an incarcerated population that perhaps feels like they might be treated differently if they don't participate. - Joel Webber

There's an easy solution to the problem, Joel. Just convince some wardens that they can reduce violence (or whatever) at their prisons by changing the diet. Then just wait a few years or decades (or whatever) and study the results. - Gabe

The wardens being, of course, wholly neutral in the matter and uniformly interested in lowering the level of violence in their wards. Wardens have a vested interest in maintaining violence at just below unmaintainable level. How naïve can you get, Gabe? @Joel, even though it was a figure of speech, you don't have to be afraid to express a dissenting opinion, they are what makes this virtual debating society of ours a keeper. - ianf ⌘

They already do studies and other unethical things with prison foods. It would make More sense to allow prisoners to opt-in to various studies and diets. But, there are still a lot of other factors that would have to be controlled to see if the studies were valid. And it would be much easier to do that in a prison population. And frankly, they're already doing the first part of the... more... - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Rob, they're force-feeding the prisoners if need be. Anything you do in prisons (most, and definitely in all American) is regulated. Infusing even the least amount of free choice in the mix is creating dangerous precedents for the wardens and the entire prison-industrial complex. [@Hüseyin Mert, thank you.] - ianf ⌘

I'm with @Nor and e3r Consent. Consent. Consent. This does give me the ethical squirms. opt in is only marginally better. And my philosphical bent is never to trust an argument that is based on either trust in regulatory bodies (in general and with regard to imprisoned populations) or it is already happening -- that never makes it right. - AliceS

It's interesting that rape and violence seem to be an accepted part of our prison system, but people have serous ethical concerns about subjecting prisoners to a vegan diet. Yes, I know everyone here is also opposed to prison rape, but I really don't think that dietary research is a significant threat to prisoners. Besides, they are already eating the worst food (much like people in hospitals). Perhaps the ethical concerns can be addressed by requiring the researchers to adhere to the same diet. - Paul Buchheit

I have serious ethical concerns about our entire prison system! But I think using them as guinea pigs only makes it worse. - ⓞnor

Agreed with @nor; using prison population as research is a very sketchy idea. - Andrew C

How about school children, can we use them for research? - Paul Buchheit

Feed them a balanced meal, and don't mess with their heads. If convicts were POW's this would be pretty close to a war crime. BTW, one in ten US adults goes to prison, that means at least one of those in the comments above will be eating the food...think.... - Wallace

I see nothing wrong with this as long as people agree to be a part of it. Obviously, I have no qualms about a vegan diet being served since that is definitely healthy, but I don't agree with experiments that would cause discomfort or health concerns being done involuntarily. - Becca

Rebecca, if a prisoner claims that he will be uncomfortable unless provided with a high quality, grass-fed steak at every meal, is it unethical to not provide him with those steaks? - Paul Buchheit

I was thinking physical discomfort. I would think all prison food would be mentally discomforting! - Becca

I suspect that the prison food already causes physical discomfort -- most institutional food does. I think what you're saying that is that as long as each diet is individually acceptable, then there should be nothing wrong with an experiment comparing them, or at least that would be my point :) - Paul Buchheit

Paul, "rape and violence seem to be an accepted part of our prison system" because they mirror the rest of the American society. They are certainly not acceptable in other parts of the globe, although there are countries and pockets within otherwise "sane" societies, where dehumanizing incarceration is even worse than the American "experience." But that's hardly a consolation. Apart... more... - ianf ⌘

@paul: I think most of us here probably agree that the likelihood of actual harm from an experiment involving small dietary changes is pretty low. But a lot of people are (rightly, imho) afraid of the precedent it would set. Voluntary participation would probably address most concerns, but would also subject your data to selection bias. - Joel Webber

So which part here is unethical? The part where prisoners aren't given meat? The part where the effect of the new diet are documented? The part where the effect is compared to before the dietary change? Or the part where the comparison is published? - Gabe

That's like saying "which part of the bribe was unethical? the part where I left the money on the table? the part where he picked some money up off the table? the part where he assigned the contract to my company?". We have protocols for human medical experimentation, and those protocols say that even for experiments that everyone thinks are totally harmless, that informed consent and... more... - ⓞnor

Here's some "insider" information about prison rape: http://www.prisontalk.com/forums... - Gabe

Onor: "the part where he picked some money up off the table?" is the unethical part, unless the money is a campaign donation. - Gabe

I take issue with this idea of voluntary participation. There is no voluntary anything in prison. That being said, I am with Dan and Joel on this, quite the slippery slope. - EricaJoy

Erica, that simply isn't true. There are plenty of voluntary things in prison. What's not voluntary is the prisoner's presence. A prisoner has many choices that can be made throughout the day. One of the big choices is food. If the meals aren't chosen (which they often are), certainly the snack/supplementary foods that prisoners can purchase with their own money on account is. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

ratings are overrated - Fedor Karpelevitch

Amit, a HUGE +1 to this. I really wish all of us would quietly and thoughtfully reflect upon what matters sometimes. More != better. Faster != better. Bigger != better. In particular, I feel this about the news. Simply a greater quantity or speed of info receiving does not make someone wiser, does not make someone's life richer, does not make the world a better place. - Adam Lasnik

So you found out about some event halfway around the world, perhaps even a tragedy, a whole 4.2 minutes faster than those around you. How did that matter, in the grand scheme of things? Or even in the personal scheme of things? Did it empower you to actually DO something you would not have been able to do otherwise? Yeah, yeah, I know there are exceptions... but in the overwhelmingly vast majority of cases, I seriously feel that real time *is not that valuable*. - Adam Lasnik

Latency is dumb. "Fill out a form, press submit, wait, reload" batch interfaces should have gone out with mainframe-connected 3270 terminals. The real question is not "real time or not", the question is "what kind of filtering and analysis is in place to avoid overload/provide context/avoid interruption/help give you the information you want, when you want it". The whole argument over "real time" is one giant stinky red herring. - ⓞnor

It's not like slow, high latency, out of date systems are good systems. Web interfaces and communication systems should be *fast* and *under the user's control*. These things are not opposites, they are complementary. I don't get this whole Valleywag/Patel/whatever backlash. Is this all about the FF beta? Or Twitter going mainstream? Or the fact that IM continues to be popular, just like it has been for a decade now? Or that voice talk is popular, like it has been for maybe 500,000 years? - ⓞnor

I think it's neat that, thanks to the beauties of technology, we're able to enjoy real-time interactions and real-time news. But I think you're both creating a false dichotomy (instant vs. "slow, high latency") and also conflating real-time interaction (mostly awesome, IMHO) and real-time news (again, IMHO, highly overrated). I don't think the advent of hyper-instant always-on always-available "news" has been good for society, for socialization, for peoples' well-being. - Adam Lasnik

I think there's a problem when people place more emphasis on knowing right now than on understanding and taking actions that are good for the self, community, and world. On a related note, I believe that services / TV channels / etc. which emphasize the speed vs. depth, the now-ness vs. understanding... I believe these are, if not potentially harmful, at least not the second coming of Christ. - Adam Lasnik

So, uh, what makes you think Amit was talking about *news channels*? - ⓞnor

When it's busy, I find FF's beta real-time system to be more annoying than helpful, in that implicitly it prioritizes the new over _what I'm actually trying to read right now_. - Andrew C

I think that's an expression of "not under the user's control", which is bad. Not necessarily a problem with non-delayed updates per se, but with an implementation of how the feed gets displayed. - ⓞnor

Amen to what Adam says. If you unplug every now and then to read a book -- which may be *gasp* 10 years old OR MORE -- your understanding of certain issues may beat a life time of news channel hopping. On the other hand, I sometimes feel the real-timeness on apps like FF may continue to build something akin to a global brain: a very thorough and deep but simply more *distributed* though... more... - Philipp Lenssen

I agree with egnor. If I sign onto friendfeed, I want to see what the people I find interesting have shared and see their comments; there's no virtue in having that information delayed. This doesn't prevent me from reading books. Is saying "realtime is bad" like insisting there are no sweets around because they're hard to handle in moderation? Or am I missing the point? Is it a worse experience to see a friends comment more quickly? - Karl Rosaen

As far as news is concerned, I find that I'm much happier since I started getting 80%-ish of my news from the Economist. It's always delayed by about a week, which seems to be just enough time to get a solid analysis together. I figure that if something really important happens in the meantime, I'll hear about it on NPR or from a friend. - Joel Webber

Half the people here are talking about FriendFeed UI, the other half are talking about the news media. Is this even a coherent discussion? - ⓞnor

No, in that sense it's not. :-) - j1m

@Andrew, I think you might have been experiencing ff beta before the jerkiness bug was fixed. Now, even wen busy, the text you're reading should stay right where it belongs, fixed in front of yours eyes, when you read it, no matter how much the content at the top of the page is expanding. At least, this was all working perfectly for me last night after they fixed it, when it was busy. (Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean?) - j1m

@Joel, I wonder if the Economist is more thoughtful than the FT, which is (I think) the same group writing every day. It would seem like it should be, but their whole attack to writing about the news is so far superior to anything else that's professionally published, it's hard to know how much is just that. - j1m

What is NOT overrated is real time comments. THAT is a game changer. I've already used it several times and it will change how we do back channels at conferences. - Robert Scoble

@j1m: Good question. I don't get the FT regularly, though I read it from time to time, and it's quite good as well. I think the overall quality of journalism has a lot to do with it, but I think that having a week or so to aggregate the news into cogent analysis is what makes the Economist so useful to me. - Joel Webber

Yeah, I also find it a lot more compelling than the FT. - j1m

ⓞnor you've just hit upon a basic foundation of communications. Well, two parts: 1) sometimes there is ambiguity. 2) that can be good. In this case, I mostly like the real-time'ness of FF, because it's real-time *communications*. I mostly dislike the crazy adulation of real-time *news*. Amit didn't specify what he was referring to; perhaps he meant one or the other of those, perhaps both, perhaps neither. I still think it's made for an interesting discussion. - Adam Lasnik

Were this a formal *debate*, sure, we'd want less ambiguity, more structure, and maybe some judges in the back. But as a conversation, I think it's been fun :) - Adam Lasnik

Real-time may be overrated but at least I know where it stands now. Let me know how your static content is doing when you are done polling it. - Rolf Schewe

No. Real-life conversations happen in real-time too. Real-time commenting as seen on FriendFeed is a very important addition to our communication tools arsenal. FF is combining things seen in IM, IRC, regular web forums and blogging. It's hard to overrate this. Unless you want to claim that IM or real-life conversations are overrated too. Of course, it's not going to save the world all by itself, but neither did IM. :) - Meryn Stol

It sort of interesting to see the communities that emerge from real time internet conversations. Some of the people using the friendfeed know each other in real life, but many don't. I wonder if the problem with real time is that it makes any one of us too easily replaceable, as there is always someone interesting to play with on FF or if it is more valuable because when you come back after time has marched on, people are happy to have this pattern of new and old so finely woven together. - Clare Dibble

Yeah, it has a lot of problems with high volume posters. I actually had to temporarily unsubscribe from Scoble so that other people would show up as well :). This started off with me wondering if our realtime view (http://friendfeed.com/realtime) could have some kind of threading added in. It doesn't really work in a lot of cases, but by putting the code out there I'm hoping that it will inspire other people to come up with interesting new interfaces (and also show how easy it is to use our API). - Paul Buchheit

@Peter: A sticky post that remains at the top until I decide otherwise would be fantastic. I'd also like the ability to change the number of items I see per page. @Paul: Kudos on the realtime and for the API. - AJ Kohn

This API is absolutely simple and easy to use - but the styles interfere with my css and my poor coding is not up to sorting them out so that I can add the FF-UI to one of my pages rather than put it on a separate page. Heaps of fun to use. http://www.chrisloft.com/myFF... - Chris Loft

yeah - i prefer this. its instantly recodnisable as FF. the prototype looks more like Twitter. - Roberto Bonini

I will get used to whatever UI you put on top of FF, so I'm not to worried about what sites it does or doesn't look like. This approaches what I would really like for FF, which is to set a rate of information flow (maybe even have some sort of dial). There are already recommended friends, which would be smarter when I have time to waste than surfing "everyone", but I could dial it way back on busy days. This would also help with discovery because I could add people to my home feed if I like their stuff. - Clare Dibble

The move, which follows a decision by the European Union’s council of ministers in Brussels, has angered civil liberties groups and opposition MPs. They described it as a sinister extension of the surveillance state which drives “a coach and horses” through privacy laws. The hacking is known as “remote searching”. It allows police or MI5 officers who may be hundreds of miles away to examine covertly the hard drive of someone’s PC at his home, office or hotel room. Material gathered in this way includes the content of all e-mails, web-browsing habits and instant messaging." - Internet Strategist from Bookmarklet

Hmm, job opportunity :D - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

It's all completely ridiculous - accumulating data is not at all helpful unless you know what you are looking for - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

Actually, it is easy to see how all this data could be mined for various purposes, some of them legitimate, many of them nefarious. This would be an incredibly powerful tool in the hands of any totalitarian regime. - Sean McBride

a ? & a speculation - can they hak any computer anywhere? one nefarious purpose is blakmail - i wonder how much dirt aipac fer instance has on amerikan politicos. - ernie yacub

"Die-hard Twhirl fanatics (like me) can celebrate the start of the weekend with a fresh new update to the desktop Twitter app. Albeit just a preview release, Twhirl v.0.8.8f is here and includes a few extra gems for Twitter, Seesmic, and Ping.fm fans to make the most of the popular Adobe AIR desktop client." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

I don't use Tweetdeck, so the question above is irrelevant. But I do use Twhirl for FriendFeed. I've had a quick go and it still jumps up and down when you like any post. Just wished they'd fix this then I'd be happy. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

I just got Twhirl on Linux and am really liking it. - Jeremy Raines

Too bad Robert Scoble isn't turning into Robert Redford. - Dawn

What's funny is that a google search for "Robert" spits out my brothers blog above any other Robert. So in one respect, I bet Robert Redford wishes he was my brother because he's got better SEO for his name. - Alex Scoble

If I were Robert Redford, the last thing I'd care about was SEO. - Shawn Farner

Yeah, because actors don't have egos the size of a small sun? - Alex Scoble

OMG LMAO Redford only can wish - sofarsoShawn

Alex, your brother's gone from Jupiter-sized to sun-sized already? - Tad
