About 3 hours ago I thought I was getting pretty close to the end of the main quest line in Fallout3. Apparently I was very wrong.

So are you saying that Fallout 3 is like Titanic, it goes on waaay too long?
- Andrew Fielding
do not complete the main quest. if you really want to finish, do not forget to save game before it.
- Eren Emre Kanal
I can't play FO3 for too long or I start feeling very isolated and sad. There's so little interaction with people!
- Mattie Kenny
don't worry, I've got plenty of save points! I know to beware :)

I wish i knew that before i finished, I had to go way back almost to the start of the game and do the other missions!

lol, that might be worth doing actually - going through your "attend" conferences. About which events, well i'm ok for the UK & Europe but i'd like to know which ones are worth travelling across the pond for to meet & get to know the movers & shakers of the web & blogosphere.

@Brian, have to say - never heard of them & i can't find any info...not a good sign.

ps. Robert, i'm assuming you're not going to be in London at any time before the end of the year. Is the next time you're in Europe going to be for Le Web?

My list is up here: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/user... Zee, not sure when I'll be in London. I'm going to be in Berlin, Germany Tuesday (this week). Does that count as Europe? I'm trying to cut down on travel so not sure I'll be at Le Web. Gotta talk to Maryam about that one.

The "must attend" conference coming up in Europe is this one: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event... (Picnic). Also must attend? DLD in Germany. Le Web in Paris. Lift in Geneva. Reboot in Copenhagen.

You know what, that "trick' has proven to be exactly what i was looking for. Thank you. And most definitely Germany counts! Wish I knew sooner. Dang..ok, will follow up tomorrow - cheers again.

awesome! UK & Europe I'm cool for...just the US I wanted to find out more about
- Zee.
My list shows events all around the world. Also, you can see how many people are attending. If you care about "must attend" events, just pick the popular ones and avoid the ones that don't have many people attending.
- Robert Scoble
Yeah, just a little difficult spotting locations sometimes because they aren't always in the name of the conference & there isn't a column for location which is a shame. But with the "attend" column, it's still far better than anything else I've found. The people attending is definitely helpful, i'm currently sticking to the over 100's.

Manufacturing index was way beyond early expectations, joins the overall positive momentum of recent weeks. Lets see the NAHB (house prices)index results, to be released tomorrow.
- Nir Ben Yona
ECB admitted our economic position wasn't as secure as they had expected which caused a drop in Euro-centric stocks. Also, US treasury says it isn't ruling out an active role in the currency market. US had some news, it wasn't good but it wasn't as bad as expected. But indexes and key earnings are due within the next 30 days so US dollar could swing back
- Steven Cains
The US controls the level of the dollar, ie. purposely low to boost exports. The EU controls NOTHING, ie. the Euro is high (and Europeans don't like that) only because the dollar is low (kept low on purpose by the Fed). USA = creative destruction, EU = rudderless ship
- William, CPU Media
The USD - EUR exchange rate is set by international markets and influenced by the interest rates set by the US Fed and the EU Central Bank. Both are focused on containing inflation expectations (there is a reason why the ECB is in Germany). The focus of the US Fed is NOT on interest rates.
- Martin Buhr
from twhirl
@William The US, and EU (and most countries) do not control the level of their dollar. As Martin points out, the exchange rate is set by market forces for the most part, but can be nominally influenced by the actions of a country's Reserve Bank.
- David Adam
Look at the spread in rates between the Fed and the ECB. Look at the articles in the Economist these past 3 months about the "abnormal" nature of said spreads. Market forces can be coerced and have been. Dollar weakness has been a deliberate US policy these past months and the markets have jumped on the bandwagon.

When oil goes down the dollar goes up and vice versa. It's like a see-saw.
- Dave Winer
The ECB (Euro Bank) just changed its future tone on interest rates (i.e. instead of raising to fight inflation, it might start cutting). The US dollar immediately responded. It's no mystery. @Dave Winer: That's not necessarily true about oil and the dollar.

The reasons textbook answers are in textbooks is that they (in general) right. If you want to believe that aliens are manipulating the currency exchange rate, knock yourself out... :) Also, oil sales are (for now) demoninated in dollars (i.e. you have to buy dollars on the international market if you want to buy oil).

@martin Economics is one of the few areas where textbook explications rarely play themselves out. It's not called "the dismal science" for nothing. As long as oil is denominated in dollars, the Fed's "benign neglect" can be wielded as an active policy, something that does not work with any other currency. As for books on finance: Taleb's are the best by far. ...and who said anything about aliens?

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.

That is interesting yet odd. Seems that the faces are slendered with the software.

I wonder what would come out of applying their algorithms to face of black or asian person? Different countries have different concepts of beauty.

This technology should be made available in eye glasses, just imagine how much better your work day can be!

Paul - Think you should definitely add the option. "Click here to be beautiful without the expense of plastic surgery! .... and you may even get more 'Likey's" :)"

Some of the stuff coming out of Siggraph this year is really freaky. How about combining this with the automatic video editing stuff? ;)

without a doubt amazing. It's incredible how subtle the changes are yet massive difference.

Huh, that's pretty crazy. Creepy, but cool. :)

I haven't read the paper, but I wonder if it adapts to different notions of "attractive" (that changes from culture to culture ...)

+1 @Claude I was thinking the same thing! Incorporate this software in wearable monitor glasses, and the whole world would be beautiful! I'll bet we can look for these on the shelves in the U.S. just before November. Social media and reality enhancement software have put Winston Smith out of a job.

So, if it turns me into Gilbert Godfried... what does that mean?

You know, if these guys had gotten together with the realtime video+photo enhancement folks and approached the Beijing Olympic Comittee then that singing girl in the opening ceremonies might not have had to been replaced with a body double. (Yeah, I just brought three of this week's biggest memes together. I'll be here all week.)

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".

imagine if this were available in real-time installed into special glasses. sober beer goggles.

I'm waiting for the first Facebook application that automatically enhances your profile picture like this. Every social network should run this on the avatars. Beautiful people!

Can you imagine the controversy if dating sites got a hold of this?

@paul automatically apply it to all profile photos, huh? are you sure you ready for results? check my picture - try to see wonderful cossacks writing infamous letter to Turkish Sultan :)

this will have a lot of practical applications to create a (virtual) world of beautiful (or more acceptable facially) people.

Just a complicated high tech implementation of beer goggles.
