maybe he wants to leak. Don't judge.

A part of me doesn't want to believe this story.

I like the part where it says "the secret unlock code was set to 00000000." Some things never change.

Reminds me of the theory that men stopped wearing hats because of cars. http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2012/05/04/152011840/who-k...

I think it's an alluring idea for match making. But what's to stop OKCupid from releasing this same feature for their audience in less than 3 days. I assure you that their engineers also read Hacker News. That aside, really innovative use of youtube, better than Feross Aboukhadijeh's creation of Youtube Instant.

This is a Japanese site that uses similar technology. http://www.3dcg-arts.net/art/polygon/1679/full

http://p3d.in/ is another one.

I just want to be cautious. My cofounder and I are working on the video and application in time for the deadline but since we're in New Jersey there's a high probability of power and internet loss in our area... which would really suck.

This is a modified version of Google's 'WebGL Globe' library. I've created a couple of these myself for Reddit

To compete in the growing Tag Management Market. Adobe offers a Tag Management service and there are many other paid premium versions. Tag Management is a tool for digital marketers to deploy agile javascript code in a technical environment where site builds are not agile.

Inside the Delancey Station (next to the Williamsburg Bridge - Manhattan Side) there is a huge underground open area which served as a small train yard up until the 60's/70s. This place has leaks, garbage, graffiti and rats. It would cost significantly more money to convert this area into a park than was spent on the highline.

http://www.webgl.com has a decent collection of demos (full disclosure: self plug)

Look into 'fail fast' as a concept. Facebook claims to take fail fast to the extreme.

Keep in mind that facebook's engineering philosophy is to push new code out every single day. This means that there is little to no QA on code push. Every engineer takes responsibility for their own code push and because people are human they mess up from time to time. I don't think this means that the culture is broken... there are simply pros and cons to on the fly site builds.

Use a proxy to view U.S materials http://www.proxylists.net/

I think the TSA officially pretends that things like the the 2011 Moscow bombings don't happen.... at least they don't happen to the U.S... therefore it's not a real concern.

I think it will be interesting when certain classes of people reject the idea of being privately recording without their permission and will simply refuse to hold a conversations or interact with anyone wearing the device. Kinda like a boycott against the device's impedement into social situations. For example, if I was at a job interview and my interviewer was wearing this device, I would walk out the door. Even if the job was at Google.

Yea, that's David Carr's voice (the NYTimes writer). He's kind of a skeptical luddite, but I have immense respect for him. He's one of the central figure in the NYTimes documentary "Page One: Inside the New York Times."

I see it now. Pledge 1 million dollars (1 of 5 left)and be invited to NASA command center during Rover touchdown. Plus all of the above.

omg, WinPopUp! That brings me back.

Photojournalists follow a slightly different standard of operations than reporters. They are supposed to let images speak for themselves and work as an impartial observer. This is the attitude that allows them to be embedded in dangerous war zones where hopefully they wont be shot or kidnapped...

He wants to keep his job at the NYTimes. If he is known as an biased photographer who 'agitates' police, he won't be sent on certain assignments.

Sounds like this guy had bad timing - http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/229396/uk_man_...

I think the point is that Japan can live without nuclear power. As a collectivist society, Japanese have voluntarily cut down on energy usage. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/05/japan-nuclear-react... However losing the nuclear industry in Japan will harm the economy and increase the unemployment rate at a bad time (everytime is a bad time for a debt nation).

Sanity has really little to do with the situation.

I agree completely, my apologies if I made it sound like a mathematical postulate.

I did not say that this was 'right', I merely said that it is one justification that is commonly used. Google "interfering with karma" and you will read various interpretations. http://www.thubtenchodron.org/GradualPathToEnlightenment/wor...

Here's an excerpt "If someone is born in an unfortunate situation, for instance into a very poor family, we explain it as due to past bad karma. We try to do more good karma this life in order to ensure we have a better rebirth. Is this chasing after happiness in life after life correct?

Some people say, "Those people are poor because of their bad actions; therefore they are morally inferior. We shouldn't try to improve their situation because that would interfere with their karma. Rather, they should accept being in a lower class and try to create positive actions so they will be rich in future lives."

Justifying someone's misery as 'bad karma' was told to me by Eileen Weintraub, the founder of http://www.helpanimalsindia.org. She tries to teach local indian communities how to organize local community animal shelters... which helps with the cut down as animal dung littering the streets, among other things.

It has been explained to me that it is common for many indians to justify another person’s plight by believing that a condition of suffering is that person’s ‘karmic destiny.’ Therefore it would be ‘bad karma’ to help such a person.
