I've never used it, because the official demo site was incredibly slow. If the resources of google can't even make their own library feel responsive, then I'll spend my time hitting my head against a different platform.

I saw mention of the 2009 rewrite, but couldn't figure out what happened after that. I appreciate your perspective, and the context regarding OpenAMQ to ZeroMQ. You have really contributed an incredible amount to the world. I am not re

How does it work? You POST to the lambda service, and it emails the url parameters with the specified formatting? This requires a separate HTML form to be served from your website first, right? Very cool idea! Thanks for sharing it :)

Great point. I think it's dependent on the saturation. The more pro-gangster things we see, the worse it is. But the first one or ten artworks have no impact. If we saw hundreds and hundreds of Lolita-style works, yeah, it would bother

You're asking whether it's sincere or not? Not sure. But the political support from the public that they need to have power is, i think, sincere because the public is legitimately afraid of all this "risk" they're e

I agree. He definitely looks like a terrorist. I guarantee you that if we waterboard him enough, he will tell us anything we want to hear about how his cell works. My guess is that he knows people that he'd even be willing to implicate

We have avoided GAE at our startup simply because we depend upon google for so much already. we made an explicit choice to avoid putting all our eggs in that basket, and are completely happy with AWS.

I wish the FBI agents who perform these kinds of actions were as introspective as Snowden. Once you define your team as "the good guys", you can do all kinds of morally objectionable things to the other side. "the ends justif

It /is/ terrorism, but the FBI is not the agent of terror. Rather, they are reacting to terrorist boogeymen in the shadows, exactly how the terrorists want them to. Terrorism is successful when our society becomes more of an autho

Agreed. However, "making us fatter" implies causality. I don't think the paper substantiates that.

higher energy use does not mean fatter, if you /use/ all of that energy.

Based on what I read in the media (which means it's probably completely wrong) burning man seems like the most self-absorbed people doing self-absorbed things. The photos in this article reinforce that impression. So gross.

Weird that the proposed solution is to make newspapers write better news. What prevents this from being copied over and over again by web-based news outlets, thus destroying their ability to generate revenue?

The romanticization of gangsters (Yakuza included) really bother me. Video games aren't the devil and aren't real, but they can have real effects in how we react to the world. When we play "gangster" video games and inte

I take your point, but i think you underestimate the power of familiarity to change behavior. I have absolutely no data to back this up, but I strongly suspect that police officers watching blockbuster films and playing GTA affect how they
