“It was fortunate that Jobs had heard of an amazing Israeli scientist who developed an algorithm for search that would have the same effect on Google as Google had on Alta Vista using Page Ranking. The key thing was to keep the project hidden. This way if it failed, it would not make Apple look bad but if it succeeded, it would smash Google. ¶ On  his death bed, or close to it, he made Tim Cook, the current CEO, promise to keep project Found going. By the summer of 2014, it was clear that the new search capability developed by Apple would revolutionize search. Apple began to get ready for the launch. They wanted a way to make sure that millions of people could use the new search capability on the day of the launch. This required that a few more people be brought into the fold so that Found could be rolled out in releases IOS, OSX and iTunes. Of course, it was hard to keep such a project secret up to the announcement but Apple did it’s best. It provided a lot of cover. Many false stories were leaked with most focused on the use of Artificial Intelligence within Siri. While these stories were not far from the truth, they lacked a few key elements – all of which were finally revealed  publicly by Steve Jobs at a major event in Sept. 2015.  ¶ Yes, I said Steve Jobs. This effort was so important to him that he pre-recorded the announcement before his death and instructed Tim Cook to use it.” - × × ×

“Breach in the mind: The hypothetical neuroanatomy subserving the process of “unseeing” in China Miéville’s The City & The City ¶ In China Miéville’s The City & The City, citizens of the grosstopically overlapping cities of Besźel and Ul Qoma are taught from birth to “unsee” the architecture, people, events, and surroundings of the other city. Despite the terminology, unseeing is not just limited to the sense of vision, but to all other senses as well, and as such citizens must also “unhear” and “unsmell” stimuli from the other city.” • #схватил_за_мозг ∙ #прокниги - × × ×

"Part of Duolingo's success is their unorthodox approach to online learning: Much like online games and e-commerce sites, Duolingo uses A/B testing to hone their curriculum. The small but crucial difference is that Duolingo doesn't use A/B testing--giving different users slightly different online experiences for the purpose of testing--to sell more consumer products or in-game currency. Alongside standard web design tweaking, von Ahn and his team use A/B testing to find different ways people learn languages--and tweak Duolingo's experiences based on that." - × × ×

"What if instead we combined these two ideas: use a fragment to identify part of a page mention words in the page as the identifier I’ve named these “fragmentions” To tell these apart from an id link, I suggest using a double hash — ## for the fragment, and then words that identify the text. For example: http://epeus.blogspot.com/2003_02... means “go to that page and find the words ‘annotate the web’ and scroll to show them” If you click the link, you’ll see that it works. That’s because when I mentioned this idea in the indiewebcamp IRC channel, Jonathan Neal wrote a script to implement this, and I added it to my blog and to kevinmarks.com. You can add it to your site too." - × × ×

“And, let me tell you: For writers of science fiction and adjacent hybrid genres, it’s also hugely motivating. We often hear about Author X who “predicted the future,” but that’s a hollow achievement, easily accomplished by throwing up a dense screen of possibilities—science-fictional chaff. Prediction just means you saw where the world might be going: ho-hum. Influence, though—ah. Influence, direct and acknowledged, means you actually steered the world, even if only a tiny bit. ¶ A finger on the wheel.” - × × ×

“In 1934, H G Wells arrived in Moscow to meet Soviet writers interested in joining the international PEN Club, of which he was then president. While there, Stalin granted him an interview.

“Technology and market conditions change so quickly. What worked last year or even last month, may not be applicable today. But one thing remains constant: People.

«Организаторы протестной акции утверждали, что рядом со строящейся часовней на Стартовой улице накануне Пасхи Христовой происходит не традиционное освящение куличей, а несанкционированный митинг. И чтобы разогнать несколько сотен жителей окрестных домов с куличами и пасхами, они вызвали сюда подразделение ОМОНа и наряд полиции! Затем вместе с кучкой агрессивных молодых людей крепкого телосложения участники протестной акции начали расталкивать людей и даже наносить удары». - × × ×

“Security nightmares sparked by the Heartbleed OpenSSL vulnerability continue. According to Mandiant, now a unit of FireEye, an attacker was able to leverage the Heartbleed vulnerability against the VPN appliance of a customer and hijack multiple active user sessions. The attack bypassed both the organization's multifactor authentication and the VPN client software used to validate that systems connecting to the VPN were owned by the organization and running specific security software. "Specifically, the attacker repeatedly sent malformed heartbeat requests to the HTTPS web server running on the VPN device, which was compiled with a vulnerable version of OpenSSL, to obtain active session tokens for currently authenticated users," Mandiant's Christopher Glyer explained. "With an active session token, the attacker successfully hijacked multiple active user sessions and convinced the VPN concentrator that he/she was legitimately authenticated." After connecting to the VPN, the attacker attempted to move laterally and escalate his/her privileges within the victim organization, Mandiant said.” - × × ×

Манера «когда всё плохо, видеть конструктив и хорошее» считается не столько европейской, сколько просто взрослой. Типа, паника на корабле никому не поможет, а когда экипаж плохо работает и не справляется, то пороть его эмоциями, криками и стеком — только портить, а мораль поднимать нужно не абстрактными поглаживаниями, а конкретными похвалами за реальные достижения, правильные выборы и хорошие решения. Это якорит и отдельных людей, и группу в целом, и даёт команде точку опоры. А заодно даёт правильную рамку «достижения важнее неудач». - × × ×

"The digital-comics reading experience on Kindle is definitely not as good as the one offered by Comixology, so that’s one area where Comixology’s technology could upgrade Amazon’s experience. But the companies are probably a good fit in terms of their audiences: While Comixology offers “digital trade” collections, its stock-in-trade is single monthly issues from most of the major comics distributors, and its audience is more likely to think of themselves as comics fans. Amazon’s reach is much broader than Comixology’s, and the company will be able to take advantage of Comixology’s relationships within the comics industry as well as its reading technology, which was developed explicitly for the visual storytelling medium. Comixology also has a strong presence worldwide, because the comics industry is less encumbered with region-specific contracts. Amazon’s international presence has been spotty in many areas, but in comics the company should have a leg up." • #прокниги - × × ×

"Last summer, we went to Moscow to visit a company that was developing a new kind of portraiture. The aim is to take shots of people passing through places like border crossings, railway stations, sports halls, even cinemas. It is eerie and sinister: it captures the shape of a face in a split second, from multiple angles, using various lenses. It then constructs a 3D model of the head that can be closely analysed and stored for future reference. The result is more like a death mask than a photograph. The eyes have a deadened appearance because at no point does the subject look into a camera." - × × ×
