This article is from Feb 02, 2010... What happened since?

Thanks for the reply. This sounds a little like the page-rank algorithm. :)

Thanks, this seems to be a great next step after reading the Dining Cryptographers Problem [1]! Any recommendations for papers that describe this specific implementation? [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dining_cryptogr

I'm impressed by the number of papers already written about this. Which one is the 'canonical' paper to read first?

I've been thinking about this problem, too. (Reputation in a decentralised & anonymous web.) What would stop someone from creating fake users? They could easily form a realistic 'social network' over time, giving them som

I've bookmarked this, since my CompSci education was very light on humanities and especially the 'Curriculum' chapter seems valuable to me. Would be even better if they had .mobi/.epub download links!

Agreed, the navigation for sub-chapters shouldn't be so hidden by default. Alternatively a 'next' button to take the reader to the next sub-chapter would be great.

I would like to understand what advantage their ring-controllers offer over a wide-angle Leap Motion. Text input by pinching two fingers together seems a bit clumsy, for example.

I'm sure they'd support "manual setup". Not many sites would opt into running their software agent (yet). I'm expecting the client to come with a lot more benefits than "simple setup", though.

I would agree, if this was the only method of getting job offers from Google. But since the "traditional" methods via the Careers page, recruiters, etc, are all still perfectly available, this doesn't bother me at all.

I think the only solution is to develop "personal AI" that runs on personal hardware... or an anonymous AI running 'in the cloud' but paid with cryptocurrency. Hopefully we'll be able to control what runs locally an

They can only be used as "micro-surveillance tools" once you install an app that shares your proximity to a beacon with a remote server... and by installing a 'malicious' app you've already lost.

Yup. I think part of the problem is that Americans group together "Universities", "Colleges" and "schools" as "schools". In the rest of the world you leave "school" after High School and mak

I'd like to see how this differs from what Chris Granger's Eve[0] will be one day. His description of Eve is still very vague. [0] http://www.chris-granger.com/2014/10/01/beyond-light-table/

Thanks, yeah, that's pretty cool. I just watched a Youtube video on how to export raw data from 23AndMe and search for things on SNPedia. As long as 23andMe keeps the export option around I won't be spending a lot more for a kit f

That's a great idea. I didn't know older kits were for sale. I'm 10x more interested in the health information than my ancestry!

At this point I would typically google, but let me ask: I have never heard of Okidata or Brother. Could you explain how this thread reminded you of this conversation and could you describe Okidata and Brother, please?

I think you're overestimating the effect of Glass, since taking pictures and recording video is still a conscious decision. (Except when someone publishes the inevitable life-blogging app that captures a shot every few minutes. Even th

The gist doesn't show how to get your network card into monitor/promiscuous mode. EDIT: I'm not sure -In work with default drivers, but I'll test with my private Mac at home later.

I believe that AWS account creation requires unique emails & card numbers, but I'm not sure. There is definitely a telephone call with voice PIN, so I highly doubt that they used AWS accounts directly. I think the "Amazon&quot

The way I understand it, Get'ing the data also publishes it to existing miners, so they can start storing it if it's a piece with a high reward value. The TTL is decreased by the Get operation, though. By understanding how valuabl

Looks like a very interesting social network. BUT the presentation of the homepage felt too slow. Revealing a few words at a time quickly lost its appeal.

Yes, seeing volume numbers would be useful, but I don't need to calculate statistical significance to understand that their second form is much better. So I have no gripes with the "60% increased conversion" or "15% incr

A bit rough, but yeah. The 3rd world is not yet ready to do this much video, because of mobile data prices. Let's stick to the awesome plain text solutions & low bandwidth media for now. (Canvas, cached SVGs, bluetooth & wifi,

Ummm... might be my mistake, but I can't spot any indication of how long your book is. I did quickly look through the sample and the book seems to be very useful, but I'd like some indication of how much of it there is. ;)

I tend to walk into (South African) bookstores to buy Wired's UK edition and browse books for a while until I know what else I'd like to read. At that point I write down the book's title and later download it for my Kindle. I've often thoug
