It seems as if the main problem with most people in the examples shown is their forehead is too short or too narrow. Wonder if there's a subtle clue that big brains are beautiful there! :)

@Jason - that's an interesting concept. Would you be more likely to trust the girl on the left or right? Would you be more likely to talk to either one of them at a party (or more intimidated by either one?).

Notice that for all the women they soften the jaw, while squaring it for men. Everyone also gets a slightly thinner face and upturned almost smiling lips.

@SB yeah and the forehead adjustment... almost like there is a triangle with the forehead at the point and they flip it so the chin is the bottom of the triangle... weird.

Lindsay: whenever sketching generic faces, the face starts as an inverted triangle and the eyes appear a third of the way down from the top of the forehead; lips and nose appear below and above (respectively) a line 1/3 up from the chin. Looks like these pictures are rearranged to meet that particular school of drawing.

The artist proportions were laid out by the Greeks as the perfect human, that's not being used here. This beautification engine, I think, builds on top of a previous study where some students tried to mathematically identify attractiveness. They had participants rate the attractiveness of head shots from yearbooks. What they found was there was a high correlation b/w the geometrically "average" face and high attraction. That "average" is based on the proportions of the di

stances between the individual elements of the face and their relative sizes. IIRC the software adjusts elements so they statistically/geometrically complement each other. It's not actually working toward a golden set of proportions, but a set of proportions appropriate for the individual as defined by the masses. I wouldn't think of it as "facial discrimination" so much as "deviation from ones potential".

Decline of a Los Angeles house (from $904,000 to $660,000 - 27% drop in 2008)
Daniel Rowley, Benjamin Golub, RAPatton and 15 other people liked this
This is the house of a college roommate. Luckily he purchased in 1997 at the bottom of the 1990-97 housing crash in Los Angeles, so he picked it up for ~$200,000 (it was a foreclosure, so he saved ~$50,000). But boy you would have been in MAJOR trouble if you bought this house last year.
- Mitchell Tsai
In Los Angeles, we saw a 50% drop in some houses' values during 1990-97, so we were already prepared for over-valued housing markets. Some of my friends sold their houses 2-3 yrs ago, and started renting, since they figured the market was already over-heated. (See Economist's full-issue on the housing bubble 2-3 years ago).
- Mitchell Tsai
A more expensive Beverly Hills house dropped a little less - 16% this year (chart) http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Mitchell Tsai
Dang!! that's really something
- Susan Beebe
See another Santa Monica house (my aunt) which dropped 14% in 2008 (chart) http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Mitchell Tsai
Houses in our old neighborhood were about $259K when we moved in in '98. By the time we moved away in '06, they were averaging about $975K. Just read the paper this morning that that zip posted -14.2% drop in house prices, so now the average home is about $1.24M. Keep in mind these are 1500 - 1800 sf homes on small lots.
- Anika
Anika: You can type in your old address to see the Zillow estimates. People who purchased before 2004-2006 are probably ok, but if you purchased an inflated house - whoa....! This house is back to Jan 2004 prices (Santa Monica home is back to Jan 2005, and Beverly Hills home is only at Jan 2007). My parents home in Ohio is 2,032 sq ft (with full basement) on a 1/2 acre lot for only $168,000. Los Angeles prices are nuts...
- Mitchell Tsai
Oh, I Iived in an apt.so I wouldn't have been impacted.
- Anika
Darn, Anika! I thought you cleaned up nicely on your house... :-(
- Mitchell Tsai
No, my husband firmly believed that paying more $100K for a house was ridiculous, so we didn't. Not that I mind, I really didn't like living in that area.
- Anika
Adjusting for inflation (CPI-U), this house was purchased for $306,000 (in Nov 2008 dollars), so it's still about 116% too high (possible bubble). The Santa Monica house is 101% too high, and the Beverly Hills house is 71% too high - assuming that the original prices weren't already inflated (bad assumption) - so lots of room for the housing bubble (aka Ponzi scheme) to fall further.... Unlike companies, houses don't produce anything. Year 5000, these houses will be dust (but the land may have value).
- Mitchell Tsai
There were some interesting articles (~10-20 yrs ago) on how the advent of the "2-career" couple put upward pressure on house prices - pricing many homes out of range of the 1-career family. Real estate is a funny cross between the "problem of the commons" (overgrazing community property) and a "ponzi scheme" (pay the old owners with money from the new owners) - especially since the prize might be a better school district for your kids. Tough problem.
- Mitchell Tsai
Just priced out the home I grew up at in Huntington Beach, CA and it was now valued at $571,000...big drop...it was up to $896,000 about 4 years ago. My parents bought it for about $70,000 in 1975. They used to own 10 or so homes, but sold them 1 by 1 for cash
- Susan Beebe
Susan: Adjusting for inflation http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2... $70,000-75,000 (June 1975) is $277,000-297,000 (Nov 2008), which says your old Huntington Beach house could still be 92-106% too high...
- Mitchell Tsai
holy cow...that's not good! I cried when I wanted to buy a house in OC...not a chance
- Susan Beebe
Mitchell how far do you think prices will really drop though? that's the tough question to answer
- Susan Beebe
I think the drop depends on the economy & jobs. Remember how Texas houses got super-cheap after the oil bust in the 1980s? Los Angeles apartment rentals in 1993-95 got super-cheap after CA could pay it's bills, and UCLA tripled it's tuition (2 bedroom for $500-600/month!). I hear that a LOT of people are buying first homes now due to the lower prices & banks needing to resell the homes (e.g. that's how my roommate got his house so cheap in 1997 - a $50,000 discount from the fair value from the bank).
- Mitchell Tsai
Right... I do remember the TX housing bubble. Of course I graduated from UCLA in 1992 and the prices were NOT cheap (drove in from Ventura everyday... PCH was great commute! :)
- Susan Beebe
Popular estimates in the press - another 20% drop? But it really depends on your neighborhood.
- Mitchell Tsai
Susan: You're lucky you didn't buy in 1992. One of my UCLA friends bought a house in 1990. Around 1997-99, he declared bankruptcy because he was upside-down on his mortgage, and I helped him buy a car after the bankruptcy. Imagine that you are 21 yrs old, and for 7-10 years (age 21-31) your house is going negative. So his accountant suggested that he sell. If he had waited 5-10 more years (2002-2007), the house would have started skyrocketing... but that's a long wait (and due to the internet bubble).
- Mitchell Tsai
Wow, that's quite a story...poor guy. Housing costs was one of my pet peeves about CA living...just too dang costly. Eventually I left in 2000 and have since owned beautiful homes in NY that would have easily cost 10x as much in CA
- Susan Beebe
Awesome! My parents house in Ohio ($168,000) would be ~$4-5 million in Beverly Hills ($4 million for the 1/2 acre of land, and $500,000 for the house).
- Mitchell Tsai
Right ...my current house would easily be 4+ million if it was in BH. I live right off the Irondequoit Bay (near Rochester Canoe Club) where I can walk down to the water in about 10 minutes down the hill. Fabulous home on 1/3 acre land with fabulous expansive views of the bay (all rooms but 3 see the bay), plus we got a great home with a low price tag$! :D
- Susan Beebe
[Update 10/15/09] House has risen to $743,000. Value has been going up since Jan 2009's low of $658,000.

atzmon, I probably average about 2,000 shots a week that I shoot. And I'm probably processing 300 or so of those a week at present, so I'm probably keeping about 15%. The other 85% never get processed and are kept in my archives. I'm trying only to process and publish the shots that I think meet a certain quality criteria.

Jauder, the good news is that processing will only get easier in the future. I've watched it get better with each successive Adobe release. Lightroom 2.0 is the best processing tool yet. It's not necessarily faster per se though because with more tools there are yet even more ways to tweak a photo hence even more time. But the tools to speed things up are coming too. auto geotagging, better anti dust tech, faster processing speeds, easier online tools with faster broadband are all around the corner.

Biggest and Most Expensive Green Homes - http://webecoist.com/2008...

◄ 道 ► D/\\/|I|D ッ, Lars Clausen, parazitt and 44 other people liked this
Green homes are becoming an increasingly popular trend, with eco-friendly dwellings - from apartment buildings to monstrous mansions - popping up all over the world. Unsurprisingly, America’s got the largest of them (we are expecting Dubai to catch up any time now, though). The fact that an unnecessarily large space isn’t very environmentally friendly hasn’t stopped legions of builders and homebuyers from snapping up properties as large as 15,000 square feet. Many have attempted to make up for the excess square footage by piling on as many green features as possible, from solar panels and geothermal heating and cooling systems to low-VOC finishes and sustainable flooring. Whether or not you agree that you can “have it all” and still be eco-friendly, the parade of ridiculously oversized green homes isn’t likely to stop any time soon.

Respectfully, I have to disagree. These things are barely usable today. Maybe, if all you want to do is email and browse the web, then, yeah, they are fine. But, to do real work and more, you need a real computer, not these crippled and stripped down things with smallish keyboards and tiny screens. If I want that, I'll use my Pre instead.
- George Gray
what's needed now is refinement and i see that best coming from apple, but also from open source - it's easier for apple since they're closed but the open source route is the ideal (imho) - MS has definitely been left in the dust, but we'll see how win7 does over the next couple years ... but refinement in the UI/UX and overall OS areas are what is most needed now, not performance enhancements - totally agree dave
- Chris Heath
There are 6 billion people on the planet and most of them aren't like us and for most of them what a netbook does is just right and the cost is just right too. That's why there's so much pressure on these companies. They had everyone snookered into thinking you couldn't make a good-enough computer for $500, well it turns out you can make one for $250. For most people a Honda Civic is plenty of car. The netbooks are that kind of computer.
- Dave Winer
I'm not quite sure whether to agree or disagree with Dave. Netbooks aren't particularly good for 3D gaming, and I'm not aware how good they are for watching movies. I think it would be safest to say that if netbooks are not all that *most* of us need, they are just slightly below that.

MS may have lost share but they're still close to 90%. Fact is most of 6B don't have fast internet so SAS is meaningless and main reason, imho, that MS isn't losing share faster is b/c it's not the PC its the software. I have 1/2 apps that I can't economically replace with Open Source or web based that's why I'm still on PC plus who has the time to master 1/2 dozen learning curves?
- Tom Gray
You're right Dave, Netbooks are like the Honda Civic, only from 1973. They had a 3-cylinder engine and were a basic 2-seater that got you from point A to point B. Netbooks basically do the same thing but they aren't for everybody, kind of like the original Civic. Great cars though, and ran forever. http://tr.im/nRsK

Disagree. I have a netbook and I like it quite a lot but it's not a daily driver by any stretch of the imagination.

Dave, I'm curious about this. I'm not a netbook user though would like one. How is that all we need? What about our mobile phones? I'm certainly not saying we necessarily need a macbook pro, but as a podcaster of a fairly well listened to series, I think I need more than a netbook offers. Can you explain what you mean so I can better understand? Thank you.

Apple cannot refine a product it chooses not to sell. The netbook is the child of SE Asia, not the US, and look at their push into imac style all-in-ones. Maybe they are farther along the form factor and usage model than given credit.

My personal theory is that nobody's under any illusion that torture gets any useful answers. The whole point is that if you break somebody, they'll tell you whatever will make the torture go away. So, what they are really looking for is a confession from every single of them and a signed confession smoking gun pointing towards the most politically convenient targets. Which they haven't been able to properly get.

My gut tells me Wirehead's right. On another note, do real interrogators use a cute little stainless-steel teapot for administering the water?

and do detainees get to hold rubber cows to single when to stop? That was horrifying. I wonder how anyone can think that isn't torture. I'm with Anika, I would have liked to see a true simulation. But maybe this will get people who listen to that show to think about it...

- Andrew Trinh
Sounds right to me. This reportedly was only used on 3 people. One of which was the Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) who boast of personally beheading the American journalist Daniel Pearl. Is it me or does water boarding seem kinder than the treatment KSM extended to Mr. Pearl?
- Mrsth
totally missing the point. We should not be torturing. Either we agree to the genvia conventions or we don't live by rule of law. Just because some people treat people bad, and outside rule of law doesn't mean we should. As for Daniel Pearl, he wanted the story, and he left the USA and he got the story. Interviewing Arab extremist, as a Jewish Journalist, has its own set of dangers.
- Hutch
OK, so while I think our torturing people has done more to put us in danger than any information we might have gotten, my first thought was: How authentic is this? Is this a setup, and is the waterboardee actually in cahoots with the anti-torture side? I mean, it's almost too perfect of a story.
- Mr. Gunn
Well, I am fairly sure that no liberals were sitting around with Dick Cheney thinking up torture techniques, if that is what you mean.

You know what the difference is between me dreaming of Dick Cheney getting waterboarded and Dick Cheney dreaming of doing the same to some poor bastard? Only one of us is in a position to make it happen and then laugh it off later. And it ain't me, Skippy.

Yes, but thinking that you are mad enough to do something to someone, and actually doing it are two entirely different things.

Shiva, fn (fairnymph), Steven Perez and 60 other people liked this
"No other president's disapproval rating has gone higher than 70 percent. Bush has managed to do that three times so far this year," says CNN polling director Keating Holland. "That means that Bush is now more unpopular than Richard Nixon was when he resigned from office during Watergate with a 66 percent disapproval rating." Before Bush, the record holder for presidential disapproval was Harry Truman, with a 67 percent disapproval rating in January of 1952, his last full year in office.

- tony
It's too bad that congressional approval ratings aren't broken down by party. It's easy for folks to say that Congress's low approval rating is the fault of the majority party, but that logic is at odds with election results where Democrats were re-elected to every post they ran for, while many Republican incumbents lost their seats.
- Kevin Fox
@Anika LOL
- Costa Walcott
Kevin, rest assured that Democrats in Congress share ratings just as low as the Republicans. The Democrat advancements last Tuesday are due solely to the Obama's coat tails, not to the fact that America thinks they're doing a great job. Proof in point: When the Democrat leadership was speaking several weeks ago on the financial crisis, Wall Street tanked. The minute they shut up, it recovered. That happened every single time they went in front of microphones. Every. Time.
- Gregory Pittman
from twhirl
Gregory: I'm not sure what you mean. I'd like you to find a single Democrat (or Republican) in Congress who has an approval rating as low as President Bush. Here's a source to get you started: http://www.surveyusa.com/50State... The approval rating of an institution is completely different than the approval rating of its constituent members, and it's overly simplistic to try and brand an institution's low approval rating on a single party.
- Kevin Fox
I would even go so far as to suggest that the low approval rating of the US Congress is largely due to its perceived ineffectiveness in challenging or reversing the abusive practices of the Executive office.
- Kevin Fox
So they were ineffective in challenging Bush's policies. They're the majority party in both houses and have been for years and they get low ratings because they were ineffective in challenging Bush's policies. That doesn't even come close to approaching logic.
- Gregory Pittman
funny how the conversation is being diverted from bush to congress as if they had anything to do with the last 8 shitty years

Cee Bee, are you saying they had *nothing* to do with the last 8 years? I hope not, because if you are, you're showing a gross lack of understanding of the American political system. Chris, indeed they have been a no-op Congress but accomplishing the things you suggest here would have been detrimental for America. No doubt we're about to see just how detrimental.
- Gregory Pittman
from twhirl
I agree that Congress has been ineffective for the last several years, and that it deserves low ratings. I do however disagree with assertions that the low approval ratings are an indictment of the Democratic party. If that were the case, the Democrats wouldn't have drastically solidified their hold on both houses last week, and I don't buy the coat-tails argument.
- Kevin Fox
they've been around for two years and like chris white wrote, have pretty much gone along with the bush administration's follies in order to not step on toes. regardless of that, this thread was about bush and his failures until a few of you"party loyalists" tried to flip the issue in order to cloud/avoid the subject
- Cee Bee
It'll be interesting to see if Howard Dean's successor will invigorate Congress beyond simply trying to limit GWB's damage.

I'm not so sure the Democrats were merely following Obama's coat-tails. Democrats picked up House seats in states that didn't even go for Obama, and in states that did go for Obama, some Democratic candidates won by much higher margins than Obama did.

The comments of Bush supporters and apologists continue to be as empty-headed and substance free as they have been for the last eight years. They simply can't discuss policy issues in an informed and rational way. That is how we got into our current mess and why it is that Bush has pegged the unpopularity meter.
- Sean McBride
We may not agree he was the absolute worst, but there's no disputing the fact that he was terrible. But, unless you've got a crystal ball that actually works, there's no telling what will happen the next two years (until the next midterms.) With the economic disaster, it's not going to be pretty no matter what the government does. Hopefully we'll make to the other side OK.

I've seen it before. Ive even posted it before ( to stumbleupon ), But that's ok. It's still funny as shit. I'd much rather look inexperienced than come off like I have that "shovel" she's selling shoved up my ass.....sideways.

Apparently, this is the note from the mom to the teacher: Dear Mrs. Jones, I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer. I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over...

I have never seen this and it's funny! There used to be a strip club in my town and the cafeteria workers at the school say a student used to pay for lunch with a lot of wrinkly $1 bills.
