IV is pretty much evil as far as I can tell. How to make lots of money while impeding progress. - Daniel Dulitz

Fan-diddly-tastic. - Louis Gray

They need to work harder. They're not yet causing enough outrage to reform the patent system. - Private Sanjeev

They're trying to stay in the background so they don't cause outrage. But I think they're well on their way... - Daniel Dulitz

He gets it! He gets it! - Daniel Dulitz

Ha! It's like AdSense but with quality scoring! Ha ha ha ha ha! :-) - Daniel Dulitz

Wow, these pictures of mountain goats on mountains are really... amazing. - Daniel Dulitz

like? - t toring

What really sets it apart is how clean it feels. I use it with the Helvetica theme (but Deja Vu Sans and banner hidden through adblock , since I dislike Helvetica), a greasemonkey script to color-code my friends' comments. It's all whitespace and well-formatted content. - Goran Zec

All of downtown will miss St. Vincent's if they close. I don't think there's a glut of emergency rooms either. - Daniel Dulitz

"Tiny minds" lacking imagination have killed more helpful change than anything else. In both business and politics. This is a well-argued piece and I recommend it. - Daniel Dulitz

I don't know anything about the Android-Linux argument at http://www.kroah.com/log... other than what I read there, but it looks to me like the kernel maintainers simply disagree with the Android folks about a core design decision, and are upset that Android is sticking to their guns. - Daniel Dulitz

Interesting counterpoint here: http://linuxhaters.blogspot.com/2010.... - ⓞnor

China’s foreign reserves are certainly huge [...] about 5-6 % of global gross domestic product. But they are not unprecedented. Twice before in history a country has [...] run up foreign reserves of the same magnitude. The first time occurred in the late 1920s when, after a decade of record-beating trade and capital account surpluses, the United States had accumulated what John Maynard Keynes worriedly described as “all the bullion in the world”. At the time, total reserves accumulated by the US were more than 5-6% of global GDP. The second time occurred in the late 1980s, when it was Japan’s turn to [...] accumulate [...]s only a little less than the equivalent of 5-6% of global GDP. - Daniel Dulitz

Cool, thanks! - Daniel Dulitz

The iPhone StreetView UI is the most unituitive UI that Google created? Perhaps the Android UI is the UI that Google would have created? Better question is, why is StreetView so hard to find on the iPhone? - Daniel Dulitz

Oh my. I had vague memories of finding Street View on the iPhone but never found it again, and I had convinced myself it must've been a hallucination or a dream. - Amit Patel

Apple wrote the maps app on the iPhone, not google, though it uses google map tiles, search results, and directions. - Evan Parker

Maybe Apple is using it as an easter egg: when one person sees the white earbuds on another person, they can swap stories about how to use their devices. It's the true Social Web. - Daniel Dulitz

I remember doing this run on the old GOOG ski trips...hey, are you on a GOOG ski trip? - Rob Shillingsburg

I am! Still loving it. :-) - Daniel Dulitz

Beautiful snow scene! - Myrna

The hubris of some analysts is just amazing. WHO KNOWS whose interests will be best served by Google's actions? It depends on the reactions of probably thousands of people, and no one even knows their names. - Daniel Dulitz

Only thing that can be said for certain is that Google decisionmakers preferred an uncertain outcome (resulting from changing the rules of the game) to a continuation of the existing game. - Daniel Dulitz

Happy New Year from Miami Beach! :-) - Daniel Dulitz

Happy New Year from LI NY - VALZONE#SCREWED

I wish I knew in advance when my hump birthday was. Probably happened already. Scary. - Paul Haahr

Happy Birthday, Daniel! - Bret Taylor

Happy Birthday! - Ruchira S. Datta

Thanks guys. :-) - Daniel Dulitz

Two great observations here. One: US manufacturing has NOT been declining as a percentage of the economy. Two: Creative destruction is required but is often penalized in a democracy. For me this brings to mind the excessive patent and copyright regimes that slow creative destruction (and prevent creativity). The recording industry, patent trolls, ... - Daniel Dulitz

A bit last minute but still pretty. - Daniel Dulitz

I think it was last year that I got an artificial tree. Didn't get the artificial tree out this year. - Sue - Friendfeed is best

My prediction: we'll see a lot more like Lingt in the future. Call it Web 5.0. - Daniel Dulitz

你好 - Tracy

Will Na'vi be next? - Amit Patel

This thing does for the eyes what the books do for the mind. - Daniel Dulitz

(Note, this is a CG render: http://features.cgsociety.org/story_c.... The current Stockholm library looks like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki.... The render was a submission to a competition to expand the library; the winner is at http://www.arkitekt.se/s32025, though even that design may not actually be built.) - ⓞnor

Reminds me a bit of the Shiba Ryotaro memorial designed by Tadao Ando. (That one is much smaller than a public library; it's a 3 story space filled only with the books collected by Ryotaro.) I couldn't find any good pictures on a cursory googling besides CG recreations of it, though. - Andrew C (✔)

Thanks for the context, nor and Andrew. Maybe someone will build this someday, and if so I'll visit. :-) - Daniel Dulitz

"It is almost certainly true that as migrants move from the rural areas to the cities, their average consumption is likely to rise, but the key here is their net impact, not their total impact. So if rural migrants move to the city and become engaged in expanding infrastructure or manufactured products – after all they need to earn an income before they can start consuming – they are not necessarily resolving the domestic imbalance. They may actually be exacerbating it." - Daniel Dulitz

agora was intellectual and sweet, with couples literally in orbital rotation. Gripping. Kate Weare was raw and brilliant and playful (when has it ever been otherwise?) -- in the hottest performance I've ever seen. Pure direction, connection, and fireballs of make-love-not-war intensity. I'm still boggled this morning. Weare's Leslie Kraus and Douglas Gillespie walked on water, with Adrian Clark and Weare creating a fascinating n-body problem. - Daniel Dulitz
