"Primarily, PaintBottle (Seriously: NSFW. If you’re offended, why are you still reading?) is a discovery engine. To look at videos you simply scroll through a curated, filtered list. All of the content I saw is, shall we say, first rate, although arguably I grew bored after about three minutes of browsing. Best of all, the interface offers ability to fast forward through movies, Dish Hopper style, to various “positions” in the film. You can also filter by film types, although the filter is fairly limited right now. The interface is simple and easy to use with, ahem, one hand. The company has seen about 20,000 visits so far after a bit of coverage on Hacker News. They have also noted that their average time on site is 40% higher than the time on site at other “tube” sites. While competitors usually see an ATOS of seven minutes, PaintBottle sees 9.25 minutes, which either suggests more stamina or the positive influence of the site’s clean design and curation." #порно - × × ×

“There is a missed opportunity, it seems, as the mysterious real life of Leon Theremin is stranger than fiction, involving the invention of listening devices and abduction by the Soviet Union, among other episodes. So many holes dot accounts of his life that it seems a fictionalized account would be perfect. Instead, we get a sort of James Bond Doctor Who Buck Rodgers thing. If they’re going to go there, I would want to see Theremin somehow incapacitate people with musical performances or something. But check out Theremin sporting a ray gun. I had already intended to pick this up, but author Curt Pires himself stops in to set the record straight. It seems we do, in fact, get some of the historical episodes: — I actually think people will find a lot to like if they give the book a chance. We did quite a bit of research. The book includes Leon’s historical meeting with Lenin, the development of the instrument itself , along with all that Buck Rodgers ray gun stuff you mentioned.” - × × ×

Трудно переоценить роль, которую все «сервисы осознанности» производят на нас, конечно. Поэтому, с одной стороны, со взрывом интернетов и фейсбука идёт дикий перекос в сторону «вагонов ненужной информации и загромождения мозгов», а с другой — нормальный такой grass-roots-подход по расчистке авгиевых конюшен, от собственных занятий и диет до каких-то больших проектов, за которые без поддержки могут взяться единицы, а с поддержкой — уже десятки. А с ведением — так и сотни людей. Нормально. • #aqsc - × × ×

Демон мониторит звук и дыхалку, и, когда владелец восторженно присвистывает или задерживает дыхание на пять секунд, включает распознавание лиц на видеопотоке, захваченном в последние тридцать секунд. После этого все лица прогоняет перед взглядом, давая выбрать нужное. - × × ×

"First of all we would like to reassure you but no we were not last night victim of a DDoS but instead victim of our own success! Indeed the rather astonishing amount of new account opened in the last few days added to the existing one plus the number of trade made a huge impact on the overall system that started to lag. As expected in such situation people started to panic, started to sell Bitcoin in mass (Panic Sale) resulting in an increase of trade that ultimately froze the trade engine! *** To give you an idea of how impressive things were here are some numbers that we would love to share with you guys: - The number of trades executed triple in the last 24hrs. - The number of new account opened went from 60k for March alone to 75k new account created for the first few days of April! We now have roughly 20,000 new accounts created each day." — https://www.facebook.com/MtGox... - × × ×

"Draw a circle. This is the center ring. In it, put the name of the person at the center of the current trauma. For Katie's aneurysm, that's Katie. Now draw a larger circle around the first one. In that ring put the name of the person next closest to the trauma. In the case of Katie's aneurysm, that was Katie's husband, Pat. Repeat the process as many times as you need to. In each larger ring put the next closest people. Parents and children before more distant relatives. Intimate friends in smaller rings, less intimate friends in larger ones. When you are done you have a Kvetching Order. One of Susan's patients found it useful to tape it to her refrigerator. *** Here are the rules. The person in the center ring can say anything she wants to anyone, anywhere. She can kvetch and complain and whine and moan and curse the heavens and say, "Life is unfair" and "Why me?" That's the one payoff for being in the center ring. *** Everyone else can say those things too, but only to people in larger rings. *** When you are talking to a person in a ring smaller than yours, someone closer to the center of the crisis, the goal is to help. Listening is often more helpful than talking. But if you're going to open your mouth, ask yourself if what you are about to say is likely to provide comfort and support. If it isn't, don't say it. Don't, for example, give advice." - × × ×

"India's Supreme Court on Monday rejected drug maker Novartis AG's attempt to patent a new version of a cancer drug in a landmark decision that healthcare activists say ensures poor patients around the world will get continued access to cheap versions of lifesaving medicines. Novartis had argued that it needed a new patent to protect its investment in the cancer drug Glivec, while activists said the company was trying to use loopholes to make more money out of a drug whose patent had expired. The decision has global implications since India's $26 billion generic drug industry supplies much of the cheap medicine used in the developing world." - × × ×

“Seeing natural synergies with its bookselling business, Amazon on Thursday said it was buying recommendation site Goodreads. “Goodreads has helped change how we discover and discuss books and, with Kindle, Amazon has helped expand reading around the world,” Amazon VP Russ Grandinetti said in a statement. “Together we intend to build many new ways to delight readers and authors alike.” Amazon didn’t disclose the terms of the deal, but said it should close in the second quarter. Goodreads will keep its San Francisco offices, Amazon said. It’s not the first time Amazon has bought a social book site. Back in 2008, the company acquired Shelfari.” - × × ×
