Anyone who's ever run a business knows that hiring more people is a capitalists course of last resort, something we do only when increasing customer demand requires it. In this sense, calling ourselves job creators isn't just inaccurate, it's disingenuous.

Firms going bust is increasingly not a cost-free situation for consumers. But it looks necessary to improve productivity and create new services, so there’s a dilemma. What could we do to ameliorate the problem?

In Randers Denmark, the bars and restaurants in the entertainment district are connected by a beer pipeline that once connected directly to the brewery. When the brewery left town, it was replaced by a large tank that now feeds the pipeline.

Try to eat, sleep and exercise at about the same time every day including weekends, and don’t forget to schedule downtime to unwind without technological intrusions. Getting enough shut-eye is important for memory consolidation, mood balance and long-term physical health

All that changed at the start of this year. I got tired of having to rely on other people to get my ideas out there. It was my time to put everything on hold to learn to code, and I couldn't be happier.

It is a reminder that although Vesterbrø may now be a relatively spruced up version of its former self, it is still an area that is willing to provoke and refresh.

(Yes, that's right: you can link to any element with a href="#thing" as long as it

vad sker der, når man konsekvent tager elevatoren i stedet for trapperne;
eller tager bilen i stedet for at cykle eller gå; rækker koppen frem, når
man vil have en kop kaffe, i stedet for at rejse sig og hente den selv;
sender hunden ud i haven i stedet for at gå en tur med den; spiser
færdigretter i stedet for at lave maden fra bunden.

What gets in the way of creating this "borderless economy"?

American corporations' lack of ability to serve customers and to take the
market seriously, said Kenichi Ohmae, an international management consultant
who heads Japan's office of McKinsey & Company.

Japan's lack of consumerism, said Robert D. Hormats, vice chairman of
Goldman Sachs International.

This code won’t only need to be parsed by the machine, it will also be parsed by humans, that don’t know what’s actually needed and what isn’t until they understand what every part does. Therefore, even the simplest of changes become hard.

Plan Z has two critical parts. First, identify how to measure when you’re tracking towards a worst-case scenario. Second, it’s the plan that tells you what to do should that happen.

Last fall, the university in the heart of Silicon Valley did something it had never done before: It opened up three classes, including CS221, to anyone with a web connection. Lectures and assignments—the same ones administered in the regular on-campus class—would be posted and auto-graded online each week. Midterms and finals would have strict deadlines. Stanford wouldn’t issue course credit to the non-matriculated students. But at the end of the term, students who completed a course would be awarded an official Statement of Accomplishment.

Rather than Bibles, prophets, and worshippers, this temple will be filled with servers, computer intelligence experts, and armed guards. And instead of listening for words flowing down from heaven, these newcomers will be secretly capturing, storing, and analyzing vast quantities of words and images hurtling through the world’s telecommunications networks. In the little town of Bluffdale, Big Love and Big Brother have become uneasy neighbors.

After reading Jones’s post, I came up with an experiment designed to explore this difference. I decided to run all of the images from the Hello Little Fella Flickr group through FaceTracker and record the result. These images induce pareidolia in us, but would they do the same to the machine?

Using the Flickr API, I pulled down 681 images from the group. I whipped up an OpenFrameworks app that loaded each image and passed it to FaceTracker for detection, saving an image of the resulting face if it was detected. The result was that FaceTracker detected a face in 50 of the images, or about 7%.

Q: Can this obsession with detail get out of control?A: It’s incredibly time consuming, you can spent months and months and months on a tiny detail - but unless you solve that tiny problem, you can’t solve this other, fundamental product.You often feel there is no sense these can be solved, but you have faith. This is why these innovations are so hard - there are no points of reference.

Starting the story in the middle of this fight was a brilliant choice. Qui-Gon’s dying request that Obi-Wan train Anakin perfectly sets up the story.
Grace’s version of the film(s) centers on Anakin’s training and friendship with Obi-Wan, and his relationship with Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman). Gone are Trade Federation blockades, the Gungan city, the whole Padmé handmaiden storyline, the explanation of midichlorians, the galactic senate and the boring politics, Anakin’s origins (a backstory which never really needed to be seen in the first place), the droid army’s attack on Naboo, and Jar Jar Binks (Ahmed Best) appears only briefly for only one line of dialogue, used as a set-up to introduce us to the Queen.

Tho’ the Robot can make no music of himself, he can and does arrest the efforts of those who can.
Manners mean nothing to this monstrous offspring of modern industrialism, as IT crowds Living Music out of the theatre spotlight.
Though “music has charms to soothe the savage beast, to soften rocks or bend a knotted oak,” it has no power to appease the Robot of Canned Music. Only the theatre-going public can do that.
Hence the swift growth of the Music Defense League, formed to demand Living Music in the theatre.
Every lover of music should join in this rescue of Art from debasement. Sign and mail the coupon.

Indeed it is. But not for the reasons you would think. This IC campaign is a perfect example of how fund-sucking NGO’s survive. “Raising awareness” (as vapid an exercise as it is) on the level that IC does, costs money. Loads and loads of money. Someone has to pay for the executive staff, fancy offices, and well, that 30-minute grand-savior, self-crowning exercise in ego stroking—in HD—wasn’t free.

Pinterest—like Martha Stewart, Etsy, or newspaper articles expounding on the joys of artisanal pickles—allows us to quickly satisfy those typically feminine, domestic expectations that our careers and schoolwork have rendered impossible. Pinterest makes us feel like we’re actually doing something, even though few of us will actually act on any of our idea boards

But at the end of the day what has happened is that US law (in fact, Maryland state law) as been imposed on a .com domain operating outside the USA, which is the subtext we were very worried about when we commented on SOPA. Even though SOPA is currently in limbo, the reality that US law can now be asserted over all domains registered under .com, .net, org, .biz and maybe .info (Afilias is headquartered in Ireland by operates out of the US).
