I want the game that Spore was hyped up to be. a fully immersive evolutionary test bed. from single celled organisms and on.

haha. this reminds me of DOOM for SysAdmin, but better! https://www.cs.unm.edu/~dlchao/flake/doom/chi/chi.html

While the FRED data might be ~%50 of the datasets, most of those table are 200-4000 rows, it is not nearly %50 of the rows of data.

the remaining 50% of datasets have a lot of gems

quality in the breadth of data is important

state-wide liquor license, corp reg. OSHA is great data. AMS shipping records. FDA adverse events. Oil and Gas well locations/production. Consolidated weather reports since 1800... im almost certainly forgetting some.

i bet you'd have better luck just removing all spaces and then resorting to a text segmentation algorithm. Peter Norvig has some great papers on how to do this effectively. I've wrapped his code with a Tornado web service: https://github.com/adkatrit/text-segmentation-server

I have received bogus friend requests from bogus fb accounts about 10 times since i've been on facebook. (8 years). Some even go as far as friending people I am friends with and liking things that I'm liking or being from my home town. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between a fake account and just a really bizarre person. Usually you can spot a fake from lack of interaction with other people on their timeline. That is not to say that elaborate fakes haven't been creating bogus friend networks. It would be an interesting project to collect the fb_ids from all these potentially bogus accounts, though it would be best to get the info that is surely private, like login times/locations. I'm sure the people in quality assurance at facebook are all over this.

more relevant data.

I had a cheap place in the outer DC area for a while. 750 a month near a military base with >125k salary as a contractor.

I know some people very well off in Denver, CO as well.

Using public data(data.gov, enigma.io) you can find the areas that have the most positive trend in population weighted with average/median income and percent software jobs and/or locations of companies recently funded on crunchbase.

Might be best to start with a data set of cost of living and just apply functions to the ranking of the index depending on what matters more to you. http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/cats/prices/consumer_...

Good Luck!

Cache everything you can. Do anything in your power to reduce api calls. Of course this only works if you are primarily reading data as opposed to writing.

Why would they have a form to ask for records on yourself when they don't publish which records they have. This is like a game of Go Fish but with personal data.

i hacked a certain (now deceased) startup right after their first round of capital and then negotiated a signing bonus when they offered me a job. It was a very simple xss but i was able to do enough with it to impress the founder and make some money.

I'm not implying that they are using the bombing for financial gain, however it is clear that horrific(and great, positive) events correlate with a certain spike in revenue in the news industry. What I am proposing is charity. Suppose event X creates Y dollars in ad revenue from it's initial spike in traffic. This would be a donated percentage of that money. Let's not forget that reputation is a key factor for creating loyal users.

If one had to choose between news service A vs news service B, knowing that choosing A has the implication of assisting those in need, people are going to choose A.

Call it pre-emptive humanitarian news campaigning.

it would be great if the news organizations that are capitalizing on advertisements on boston bombing articles, would donate those proceeds to victims.

any company that is willing to pay me full time to work remotely on interesting problems. So I can be with the people I care about at night and not have to relocate.

for me (introvert): silence. minimal distractions. low light.

what do you think they could have done better?

right on.

This is mindfulness. In my opinion it is all the same thing (meditation, yoga, tai chi, etc..). All these being different techniques(albeit with different side-effects) to attaining the same thing. True focus, no conscious linguistic thought just reacting naturally to stimuli.

After experimenting with meditation in my teens, I've found bio-feedback techniques have helped maintain focus, breed creativity, and given a general feeling of happiness. I'm not claiming anecdotes are evidence, but here is the technique that works for me: When I find myself stuck on a problem or burned out I will put the idea of a problem in my head and really only just be aware of it. Then, I will shift my focus onto enhancing my perception of each of the senses, starting at sight, then smell(feeling the positive being inhaled and the negative exhaled), then recalling good flavors for taste, then just hear my surroundings, preventing the noise from causing extraneous thoughts. Finally I will feel with my skin, all at the same time all throughout my body. I'll continue this until I feel the need to stop (usually about 5 minutes).

I feel like a million bucks after this. Every time. More often then not, when returning my attention to work, the answers seem obvious and I am more tolerant of distraction.

Facebook IM Roulette

Chat.openTab(Math.floor(Math.random() * 100000000))

it would be great to make this configurable via a mobile app. maybe the ability to save time synched midi data from individual bottle opens.

I'm in love with this idea.

I'd really like to see this open sourced.

...not if you prefer to listen to music on the same device. Is there a mute per tab browser plugin somewhere?

just whipped this up last night for fun. expect more from this domain.

they do indeed look like IP addresses. The extra number is the port(maybe). what's weird is that it's sometimes zero.
