Strange coincidence, I just finished reading "The Private Life of Chairman Mao", which also describes the mango incident. It's an incredible book.

Here's a shameless plug for http://www.colr.org . No palette generation algorithms, but lots of tagging and classification.

This technology is so jaw dropping, ten years ago these MIT students would’ve been looked at as aliens, 20 years ago, burned at the steak. My goodness, what grammatically challenged linkbait!

Richard Feynman had that problem. He solved that problem by saying "whatever, I'll just have fun playing." http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~kilcup/262/feynman.html I'm not sure anyone else followed his example all the way to the nobel

That sounds like a book I would read. Oddly enough, I can't find it on amazon or goodreads. Or google. Is this a real book that actually exists?

I agree, that's a great summary. If you were Aaron, and those were the options you faced, would you have taken taken the plea deal?

by daltonlp 14y ago
Aaron is special to me, because I care about the things he cared about. He also answered my emails. I remember doing what he did to JSTOR, to mytopo.com in 2001. This was a perl script that fetched topographic map tiles, and stitched th

I fail to see the difference between the two examples. They both imply endorsement. In both cases, Dominoes has paid Instagram to promote its product. In both cases, Instagram has taken a photo of Bob (taken by Bob? Taken by a friend of

One more: "Fry - all he knows is that he bought 100 shares @ $10.00 from anonymous counterparty." Didn't Fry sell 100 shares to an anonymous counterparty?

I have a macbook air, and my wife has a Pro 15". We use both daily :) I much prefer the air, mainly due to the performance gain from an SSD. If you do choose the Pro, I'd recommend the SSD upgrade. 1) No. I don't miss more screen estate.

That is rather nice! http://www.colr.org has something similar, but it relies on server-side code. An all-javascript solution is a cool thing.

You may want to try using the colr.org API: http://www.colr.org/api.html The entire colr.org dataset isn't available, but you can make ajax requests for individual hex values, typically in less than 100ms. The dataset should also include
