"When I was a kid, I loved to read choose your own adventure books. The idea that I could make a choice to influence the story was tantalizing to me. Many games allow you influence the story, but Shadelight, a new free to play game from Meta+Level Games, recreates the experience of those old books, while taking lots of inspiration from pen and paper RPGs." #проигры - × × ×

После того, как классифайд-стартап не взлетел, а SpyMaster поломался, парни, выходит, открыли Meta+Level Games и пошли делать «всё как надо». Прикольно. Иллюстратор и дизайнер у них по-прежнему очень крутые. - × × ×

Techmeme уступил сначала своему сестринскому проекту Mediagazer, а потом и более хардкорным http://www.aldaily.com/ и связке из Harpers/The Atlantic/Slate и психологических блогов, а почти вся «рунет»-лента (вебпланета/роем) уступила за полтора года русрепу/часкору. (А, и, как ни странно, спасибо — хоть и запоздалое, но большое — Паяльнику за ссылку на Авинаша Кошика: редкий случай, когда чувак рассказывает про цифры понятным и практичным языком, без технозанудства и воды.) - × × ×

“We want people to be more logged in to Google,” — CEO Eric Schmidt said last week. Having an always-on presence at the browser level could certainly achieve that. Google would be able to see everything you do on the web. And they would be smart enough to make you opt-in to this. All in the name of serving you better content and a better experience, I’m sure. ¶ To see an even more extreme version of this model in action, you only have to look at Android and the iPhone. With each of those platforms, you sign-in not at the browser level, but at the system level. Again, this is all done in the name of ease (which is very real), but it also gives both Google and Apple access to a huge amount of data about you.” #волшебные_браузеры - × × ×

“All the RPM data from Perfect Market really shows is that advertisers are more interested in having their ads appear on pages that are about social security and immigration reform than on pages about Lindsay Lohan. This isn’t surprising: not only are readers of articles about social security more likely to have incomes that appeal to advertisers, but advertisers almost always want to be on pages that are about “serious” topics. That said, however, they mostly want to be on pages that are about serious topics at websites that are racking up millions of pageviews and unique visitors — and one of the ways to boost those numbers, unfortunately, is to write about Lindsay Lohan (and other similar topics that almost everyone clicks on, even if they don’t want to admit it). Advertisers aren’t likely to stick around and pay those hefty RPM averages for pages on websites that aren’t getting any traffic. If you try to run a site that is just about social security or immigration reform, you are going to wind up with very few visitors, and pretty soon it won’t matter what your revenue per page is.” #вечные_вопросы - × × ×

"Huebner, who died in 1996 at age 86, believed that there was plenty to recommend the turbine. After all, as Mr. Lehto notes, "the cars ran on any flammable liquid. Not just gasoline but diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, peanut oil, alcohol, tequila, perfume, and many other substances fueled Huebner's turbine cars at one time or another." (The joke went that if a driver ever ran out of fuel he could always dash into a drugstore for a bottle of aftershave.) Turbines weighed less than piston engines, had fewer moving parts and were easy to work on. What's more, they never needed a tuneup or an oil change and could cruise all day at 100 miles per hour. ¶ Mr. Lehto describes how Huebner gathered a crack team of engineers in the early 1950s. Solving the too-big-for-cars problem by scaling down and reconfiguring existing technology, the developers had their first turbine-powered test vehicle ready in 1953. It showed encouraging signs, and several versions followed. By the fourth generation Huebner's engineers found that their turbine car engine could run an amazing 5,000 hours in tests, compared with 3,000 hours for a normal piston engine. The developers seemed to have tamed the beast. In fact, the engine now ran so smoothly that one retired turbine engineer tells the author that a nickel could be placed on its edge, standing on the engine, "and the nickel would stay there." The engine, he said, "was virtually vibration free."" - × × ×

“This one's sure to ruffle a few feathers: Science Tarot aims to use the magickal mystery deck as a platform for illuminating real scientific concepts. The face cards profile different scientists and link them to specific neurotransmitters. According to the site, “Science Tarot is a group project, an exciting collaboration of professional talent including post-doc scientists, experienced tarot readers, graphic designers and published artists. We are united by our desire to explore and create at the intersection of science and art.” #карты_и_колоды - × × ×

«Прежде всего, эта книга – сборник задач с ответами к курсу «Схематизация». Но, одновременно с этим, здесь презентируется определенная техника понимания. Стратагемы являются результатом многовекового развития китайской теоретический мысли. В общем можно определить их как специальный прием, выработанный для понимания и планирования действий в определенной обстановке. Стратагемный взгляд позволяет рассматривать действия окружающих как реализацию определенной, культурно укорененной, модели поведения. Обычный способ понимания и освоения таких приемов – изучение и анализ многочисленных примеров применения стратагемы. Однако в данной книге сделана попытка понять стратагемы иначе – через рисование «графических схем» действий, реализующих стратагему.» #паттерны #карты_и_колоды - × × ×
