Just a few non-books though, and people has been sharing book lists for years. If Paul really wants to test the privacy implications of this trend and see what it feels like, he should post a history of his bank accounts, yeah by all means

Great references to books and talks, thanks!

How does it work? How does the tool know which articles are relevant to certain tag?

Ontologies don't seem to scale well as you try to describe more stuff.

The links in the URL you give actually work, unlike the ones at planeterlang. Thanks!

I have the same impression - less hacker stuff, more startup/business/tech celebrity/drama/fun stories. I am experimenting with something that may help. Here is a URL to the RSS feed of Hacker News, filtered to contain only hacker stories:

It is also startup-relevant because it illustrates the "Wealth and power" section from Paul Graham's "How to Make Wealth" http://www.paulgraham.com/wealth.html Wealth and Power Making wealth is not the only way to get rich. For most of h

And having articles split in multiple pages with just a little text on each is more and more common (because ad revenue depends on CPM, of course). Someone should augment Readability to combine multiple pages into one.

Good point. Even without intentionally aiming for this, a good recommendation system for news would automatically drift towards confirming readers' beliefs (because this is what they will say they like). Most people don't hold extreme point

Yes, Wave has all the features, but seems focused on collaborative editing, rich media, send and synchronize individual keystrokes etc. - so I imagine a lot of the design decisions would be different. I don't think I'm going to build it tho

I've thought about making a real-time forum: basically the same thing as an ordinary forum software, but with presence capability and posts happening in real time without reloading. Or, if you look at it in another way, it would be a chat r

It's much more of a social challenge than technological one. Bruce Sterling has described a beautiful society functioning along these lines: http://tqft.net/wiki/Maneki_Neko

there is nothing differentiating a Yahoo news article from a CNN article from an MSNBC article 15 years ago you could say the same thing about different newspapers instead of sites. The publishing platform you describe is a compelling vis

I can see where you are coming from with your call for quality content, but lets question this for a minute. I don't see much new in the world now vs 15 years ago that would shift the economics to high quality publishing. Technology and t

Well, you can argue RT is more prone to spam because there is less (recent) data and therefore spam filtering is harder. However, with Twitter/social networks the accounts have reliable authorship/history and you can exploit that for filte

The Twitter deal is supposed to improve search results. Ignoring the competition, they could calculate if people search more because of the presence of real-time results, and how much ad revenue do these searches generate. Given their $2 bi

Same author says "Apple ditches 32nm Arrandale, won't use Intel graphics": http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2009/12/5/apple-ditches... If this rumor is true, it is quite an extreme move. Is 3D graphics that important nowadays? I tho

Does this mean the data don't correlate with you experience, or you have a more general test? They look reasonable to me at a first glance...

Also, the absolute number doesn't matter much; what matters is the change in relation to previous years / good times as long as methodology stays unchanged.

Good encyclopedias are compiled by experienced... oh wait. No idea if this specific effort is any good, but Google have done a lot of interesting things with language already.

Hmm, can I get Wolfram Alpha to compute a closed form solution of a recurrent sequence - like the Fibonacci numbers?

Any commodity approximates currency, but in practice this doesn't keep totalitarian governments in check. The government can take away your house or any possessions you couldn't hide, ban trading of popular commodities (like foreign currenc

So, Google gives publishers finer-grained control over how their readers can access their content via Google's services. They do it because the newspapers are getting desperate in their quest to find a working revenue model and seem likely

Another hypothesis is that people interested in something would click through in hope to learn more util you ask them to pay to continue. It would mean adsense demand testing inherently doesn't work (at least for some types of products / te

Do you have a theory why initial adsense test showed demand but it didn't materialize? What did you learn from this?

Why not just an iPhone app: tie the phone to your wrist and let the accelerometer record the movements. Would it drain the battery, or is the iPhone too heavy?

The excuses are part of the explanation ;) I don't know why people expect to have metaphors from the macro world that can be readily applied to quantum mechanics - the whole particle-wave duality for example seems just an attempt to explain
