One of the easiest illustrations of the differences between their satire and ours would be the two versions of The Office. The British Office had a genuine humanity to it. It could be totally moving. The American take on it is far more buffoonish, and the attempts at humanity in it are maudlin.
Yeah, absolutely. The original Office is heartbreaking, it’s totally heartbreaking. And it’s not that we can’t do it, but that sort of work doesn’t have the prominent foregrounding in American culture that it does in British culture. And it’s something that can often scare Americans the first time they discover it.

Do we really desire Google to tell us what we should be doing next? I believe that we do, though with some rather complicated qualifiers.
Science fiction never imagined Google, but it certainly imagined computers that would advise us what to do.

If Google were sufficiently concerned about this, perhaps the company should issue children with free “training wheels” identities at birth, terminating at the age of majority

So you’re reading this little piece about local news startups online, you finish a paragraph, and some person or program at Time waves in front of your eyes and yells, “Go read our review of netbook computers!” What, in the name of Tim Berners-Lee, is that all about? Is it “related reading”? An advertisement? Who exactly is it at Time that has so little respect for the work of its own staff, or the attention of its readers?

My understanding is that people who want to write non-fiction bestsellers are, shall we say, strongly encouraged to make strong forthright arguments without cavils and hesitations if they want to see their work published and promoted. This does not provide incentives for trustworthy engagement with the existing body of research, which (on most interesting questions in the social sciences and communication studies) is shot through with hedges, doubts, disagreements and qualifications.

Out on the trailbike, stop in on a building materials supply yard where branches are clustered by thickness and stacked up around simple rectangular frames – the pocket of shade inside this occidental shelters becomes the perfect place to take respite from the intense midday heat.
This blows away anything I’ve seen in a art gallery in the past decade.

Vi har nemlig fortrængt hukommelsens betydning for læring. Vi har smadret Den Sorte Skole og smidt barnet ud med badevandet og triumferet bagefter. Det er en katastrofe.
Når det kunne komme så vidt, så skyldes det, at vi, der indførte projektpædagogikken, selv havde gået i en skole, hvor vi havde fået kundskaber. Dem tog vi for givet, fordi vi selv havde gået i den.

New JavaScript code can be compiled and run immediately or compiled, saved, and run later.
Script.runInThisContext(code, [filename])
Similar to process.compile. Script.runInThisContext compiles code as if it were loaded from filename, runs it and returns the result. Running code does not have access to local scope. filename is optional.

Enterprise software, also known as enterprise application software (EAS), is software that is sold to an enterprise. An enterprise here refers to an organization, such as a business or government organization.[1] The enterprise software is a collection of computer programs with common business applications, tools for modeling how the entire organization works, and development tools for building applications unique to the organization.[2] The software is intended to solve an enterprise problem (rather than a departmental problem) and often written using an Enterprise Software Architecture.[3]

To the extent that I know anything about seed investing, I learned it from Ron Conway. I remember one deal he showed me where the entire deal was done on a one page fax (not the term sheet – the entire deal). Having learned about venture investing as a junior employee at a VC firm I was shocked. I asked him “what if X or Y happens and the entrepreneur screws you.” Ron said something like “then I lose my money and never do business with that person again.” It turned out he did very well on that company and has funded that entrepreneur repeatedly with great success.

As part two (see previous attempt) of my ongoing series in ‘computational necromancy,’ I’ve spent the last year and a half or so constructing my own 1/10-scale, binary-compatible, cycle-accurate Cray-1. This project falls purely into the “because I can!” category - I was poking around the internet one day looking for a Cray emulator and came up dry, so I decided to do something about it.

"Just as food nourishes us and we need it for life, so too — in the 21st century and the modern age — we need technology. You cannot survive without the communication tools; the productivity tools are essential," he says. "And yet, food has pros and cons to it. We know that some food is Twinkies and some food is Brussels sprouts. And we know that if we overeat, it causes problems. Similarly, after 20 years of glorifying technology as if all computers were good and all use of it was good, science is beginning to embrace the idea that some technology is Twinkies and some technology is Brussels sprouts."

Prins Joachim er på fødderne. Han rocker og giver den alt hvad den kan trække på forreste række. Han kommer på storskærmen. Publikum hujer højt.
- Hvis det er sådan at være kongelig i Danmark, så er det helt ok. Det virker som om man her i Danmark er meget mere med på noderne, mens man i Storbritannien er mere stive og konservative. Det er dejligt at se, at de danske kongelige sagtens kan more sig i al offentlighed, siger Vanda Carson, der aldrig har set prins Charles rocke sådan rundt.
I anden afdeling af showet bliver niveauet mærkbart hævet. Steen Jørgensen går på scenen og gør det som sædvanlig godt.

Skabe er den rigtige løsning til det forkerte problem. Spørgsmålet bør ikke være “hvor skal jeg gøre af alt mit lort”, men “hvorfor har jeg alt det lort og hvor kommer det fra?”
Skabe er en midlertidig løsning. De bliver hurtigt fyldte, og så skal der nye skabe til. Det går jo aldrig godt.
Min løsning er hertil-og-ikke-længere. Man har det plads man har. Kan du ikke få dine ting til at være deri, må noget smides ud. Det er jo alligevel bare ting der ligger og fylder

H.264 has not become materially more free in the past days. The promise made by the MPEG-LA was already in force until 2015, has no effect on those consuming or producing H.264 content, and is predicated on the notion that they should be controlling mere copying of bits at all! Unfortunately, H.264 is no more suitable as a foundational technology for the open web than it was last year. Perhaps it will become such in the future — Mozilla would very much welcome a real royalty-free promise for H.264 — but only the MPEG-LA can make that happen.

This has proved to be quite a bit quicker, cheaper, and more effective for getting a good RIA developed than our old approach which resulted in a massive stack of wireframes and interaction specs.
