Where are you on the Political Compass?
yesterday at 8:50 am - Link
The US two-party system doesn't really partition the range of political philosophies very well. - £ogical €xtremes
You can plot a line to make the above a linear spectrum of Left/Libertarian to Right/Authoritarian. - Mike Reynolds
Where is Ron Paul on there? Interesting that Obama isn't on the left! - Lindsay Donaghe
I always found this interesting, as my score is in the lower-left corner, apparently I'm far more Left-Libertarian than Ghandi. Economic Left/Right: -8.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.56 - Jason Wehmhoener
What I find odd about that is the fact that I "strongly agree" with most questions related to the need for regulation of corporations. I don't typically think of corporate regulation as a "libertarian" concept. - Jason Wehmhoener
I would guess that Ron Paul would be socially authoritarian and with regard to economics he's towards the left (but not left of center). - Jason Wehmhoener
Many people are surprised to find themselves in the lower left quadrant. I'm more conservative economically, but socially progressive and definitely have a libertarian streak when it comes to certain issues. - £ogical €xtremes
You can see Ron Paul plotted here... http://www.politicalcompass.or... ...we can debate the validity of the scoring, but this is a very interesting exercise as most public debate on politics focuses only on left-right, and rarely even distinguishes between social issues and economic issues. - £ogical €xtremes
I think the concept of the political compass is valid and I'd be far happier if our political discourse used a broader array of descriptive terms. I think the quiz on this web page, its scoring system, and the interpretation of where various current political figures stand are all highly debatable. An example is the question "A genuine free market requires restrictions on the ability of predator multinationals to create monopolies." There's a contradiction built into the question. Sloppy test. - Jason Wehmhoener
I'm disturbingly close to Nader, but wouldn't vote for him for anything... maybe I'm insane? - Jason Carreira
I'm nearer to Cynthia, but nearer the center line, and more libertarian. Roughly what I expected of myself really. - Ian Hussein Maverick May
i'm -4.21, -4.12. - MikeAmundsen
I'm slightly further left than Nader and considerably lower. - Alexander Carlill

Considered the world's most-accurate commercial imaging satellite, the GeoEye-1 had been undergoing calibration and inspection since it was launched on Sept. 6 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. A second satellite, GeoEye-2, slated to launch in 2011 or 2012, will have a resolution of 25 cm, company representatives promised. However, Google's satellite imagery will not likely get more detailed because of the 50-cm regulation. - Leo Laporte

I'm writing on a python framework.
Friday at 2:18 pm - via NoiseRiver - Link
No, not a web framework. There's already more than enough :) And I'm not writing "on a" but "a new" python framework :) - directeur via NoiseRiver
actually, not writing "on", but writing "a new" :) - directeur
That sounds interesting. Want to share more details? - Andrés David Aparicio
Andrés, it's a desktop apps framework. Essentially based on wxpython, and storm :) - directeur via NoiseRiver
Love that logo directeur - Kyle Lacy
Storm looked great when I last looked into it (2 days ago, actually) :) Enjoy! - Yuvi
Yuvi, yes it is. I really love it. Simple, not bloated and does the job :) - directeur via NoiseRiver
Kyle, heh, isn't it "lovely"? :) - directeur via NoiseRiver
Python3 or stickin with 2.6? - Yuvi
Yuvi, 2.6 but with py3k in mind ;) - directeur via NoiseRiver
Storm's got a 3 compat version? - Yuvi
Yuvi, don't think so... Actually storm is a tiny piece in the framework. The whole thing is about the easy GUI creation, the structure and the "magic" of simplicity ;-) And actually storm can even be replaced with another ORM - directeur via NoiseRiver
Sounds awesome :) Enjoy coding! - Yuvi
Thanks! Will share when it'll be more "mature" :) - directeur via NoiseRiver
:) Winforms with IronPython (partly) for me till then, eh? :P - Yuvi
heh, sorry, I think so, yes ;-) - directeur via NoiseRiver

Robert Scoble suggests in a Google Reader note that “Twitter is working on things to improve its already strong lock-in,” namely its dominant user base. But what this really does is focus pressure once again on Twitter’s business model, and begs the question once again why Twitter is taking so long to pass along permission to third parties such as Gnip to provide the scalable services the “small” minority of realtime users crave. - Mona N.
and this is why I still rarely use twitter.. I mean, I could still do it, but it needs to be part of the service. - Tim Hoeck

All points are o_O Especially missing Foreign Key constraints... - Jemm
These make sense: nested transactions, grant and revoke, and materialized views. The rest are just wtf? Especially right and full outer join, that implies they did left outer -- what you can't flip the table references? Worst offender has to be lack of FKs though, then they say to use triggers but those aren't fully implemented either? Yeah... guess we wait on version 3... - xero
