“But no one seems to have noticed that the fervor of online jihadists is actually quite similar to the fervor of any other online group. The online world of Islamic extremists, like all the other worlds of the Internet, operates on a subtly psychological level that does a brilliant job at keeping people like Abumubarak clicking and posting away -- and amassing all the rankings, scores, badges, and levels to prove it. Like virtually every other popular online social space, the social space of online jihadists has become "gamified," a term used to describe game-like attributes applied to non-game activities. It turns out that what drives online jihadists is pretty much exactly what drives Internet trolls, airline ticket consumers, and World of Warcraft players: competition.” #проигры - × × ×

“You know, a guy coming out of addiction at thirty, thirty-five, because it often takes to that age, he often got into addiction with a string of problems, some of which were interpersonal and personal, and some of which were systemic. These really are the excess people in America. Our economy doesn’t need them—we don’t need 10 or 15 percent of our population. And certainly the ones who are undereducated, who have been ill-served by the inner-city school system, who have been unprepared for the technocracy of the modern economy, we pretend to need them. We pretend to educate the kids. We pretend that we’re actually including them in the American ideal, but we’re not. And they’re not foolish. They get it. They understand that the only viable economic base in their neighborhoods is this multibillion-dollar drug trade.” - × × ×

«РР-Онлайн» начинает публиковать «репортажный» мастер-класс Дмитрия Соколова-Митрича: Никакой стройной теории по поводу темы «Что такое репортаж и кто такое репортер» у меня в голове нет, и никогда не было. Поэтому соображения будут появляться хаотично. Они могут касаться самых разных профессиональных аспектов – от стилистических и технических до моральных и аморальных. Они могут местами повторяться, а иногда даже друг другу противоречить. Ничего страшного.» - × × ×

“It's actually kind of nice to get up close with people and be able to look them in the eye,” Massey added as her first audience member scanned the room and tentatively took a seat in the back row. “Sometimes when it's this vast sea of eight faces, it doesn't feel like you're even talking to people at all.” ¶ Massey said other aspects of the event, such as the audience Q&A, can also be modified to accommodate the turnout. ¶ “You might only get a single question, if any, with a really small audience,” Massey said. “But the good thing about that is you have time to offer a longer, more thoughtful response. At one of my bigger readings, I might get avalanched with two or even three questions and have to really keep it moving.” When asked if she could remember the largest audience she ever read in front of, Massey instantly recalled an event at a Minneapolis Borders at which 11 people, not even counting her old roommate from college or an elderly shopper who just wanted to sit for a moment, were in attendance—a reading she described as her “ultimate rock-star ego boost.” - × × ×

“The movie stars Daniel Craig as a stranger with no memory of his past who stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford). It's a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents — townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors — all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.” #прокино - × × ×

“Boil those comments down and the Chrome returns look something like this: * A Chrome user can contribute to a feedback loop that improves search quality. * A Chrome user will use Google extensively with little to no slippage. * Google can spend less on traffic acquisition costs. * The company doesn’t have to spend as much on distribution—think the fees for the Firefox search bar. * And this locked-in Google user is more likely to increase engagement as the company adds Chrome apps and social features down the line. ¶ By the way, Chrome also gives Google a hand in browser standards, but that ROI seems decidedly naive when you consider the lifetime value of Chrome user.” - × × ×

“The thinking behind the new system is to encourage more people to walk around London instead of driving or using already overcrowded public transport. By catching people at key decision points – such as tube stations – and providing them with the right information on walking times and local attractions, it is hoped that they will choose to walk. ¶ But the key question is: does it get more people walking? Research following the prototype system in Bond Street found that on average, walking journeys in the area were 16% quicker. More recent assessments of the new pilots found that the number of people getting lost in the area fell by 65%. Overall this has contributed to a five per cent increase in people walking in these areas of London.” #города_и_люди - × × ×

“ — Существуют правила, по которым делается хороший сценарий? — Я вам так скажу. Я писатель. Я не могу не писать. Я пишу каждый день, даже если мне не надо ничего никому сдавать. Но если бы меня попросили провести мастер-класс, я бы сказал студентам следующее: «Во-первых, пишите без прилагательных. Во-вторых, без наречий. И в-третьих, сейчас я привяжу вашу левую руку к спине». Это очень тяжелое ремесло. Нужно все время бить себя по рукам. Даже в случае матерщины, хотя — казалось бы. Будьте избирательны. Получится ­лучше. ” - Фрэнк Дарабонт — Лучшие сериалы на свете: Кто их пишет» • #рассказывание_историй • #letmeshowyou - × × ×

"In Britain, the publicly traded Stagecoach Group is a transportation monolith, moving 2.5 million people each day on its buses and a full quarter of all U.K. rail passengers on its commuter lines and trams. The company first tried the Megabus idea there in 2003, and the service now links 50 cities in England, Scotland, and Wales—and hooks up with Megatrain—with fares starting at, yes, £1. The company's American division, Coach USA, operates charter, sightseeing, and even school buses throughout the U.S. and Canada. *** Surprisingly, the initial expectations for Megabus in the U.S. were low. At the 2006 kickoff party, held at Chicago's Navy Pier, Moser's boss, a Scotsman, asked the Pennsylvania native to assess their prospects. "I told him, 'We're Americans, we're attached to our cars. That's our identity. It's going to be a challenge, but let's give it a shot,'" Moser recalls as we sit in the Dunkin' Donuts, watching his buses pull up along the opposite curb and depart. " - × × ×

"In 2009, Cisco agreed to acquire Flip maker Pure Digital Technology in a stock deal valued at around $590 million at the time. The deal was one of Cisco’s biggest forays into the fickle, low margin world of consumer electronics. At the time (and since), analysts questioned whether Cisco was making a mistake by getting into the fiercely competitive business with established giants such as Sony. The Flip flap also is a useful reminder of how quickly trends come and go in technology. The Flip was released just in 2007, but already seems a vestige of an earlier tech era. Who needs to shell out for a pocket-sized video camera when smart phones have an HD video camera built in, with email and Angry Birds to boot?" - × × ×

"With the big caveat that this post is based off essentially a sample size of one, here are some toddler app user interface guidelines: 1) Load the app as fast possible. 2) Move all settings out of the app. 3) No pop-ups/notifications. 4) Make everything tappable/clickable. 5) Change it up/give surprises. 6) Give multiple ways to do things. 7) Give hints. 8) Add delays. 9) Give instructions. 10) Update the app. 11) Highlight words and letters as you say them. 12) Enable multi-touch. 13) No in-game purchases. 14) Cheer for the toddler when they do something right." - × × ×

"The biggest change is that WebRunner is now a Firefox extension rather than a XULRunner application. The justification for doing this is outlined in a previous blog post. In a nutshell, this makes it possible to use any Firefox extension in a WebRunner app without modification, as well as having access to all Firefox features. With the XULRunner approach, we found ourselves duplicating Firefox’s features by hand one by one. We’ve also made a whole slew of other new improvements to WebRunner since the last release, which I will describe in more detail in future blog posts." #волшебные_браузеры - × × ×

“Starner replied that he multiplexes rather than multitasks. Multiplexing means doing tasks that reinforce each other. For him, taking notes and having conversations are tasks that parallel and enrich each other. They are multiplexed. On the other hand, he doesn't try to manage email during a conversation or while walking down the street. That would be multitasking. “If the wearable task is directly related to the conversation, the the user's attention is not 'split' and multiplexing can be pretty effective.” - × × ×
