Good info. Vimeo has Resonance as well. In fact, since it can be downloaded form Vimeo, maybe the OSU hospital did that. To save bandwidth, especially if you are many hops from OSU, I'd get it from Vimeo.

They have already linked Colony Collapse Disorder to Cellular phone masts and EMF radiation (sources like WiFi, cellphones themselves, and portable landline telephones also play a roll).

And it seems a lot more plausible than pesticides because the same problem is effecting birds, and humans as well, and most of the effects of EMF were probably not even considered in this Harvard study. If the Harvard study didn't look at EMF then they didn't even consider it a possible cause of CCD, meaning the study is flawed and didn't take into account the already available data on this problem or the fact that it could even be a problem at all.

Video documentary backs it up, called Resonance: Beings of Frequency: http://vimeo.com/groups/docume...

There are also all sorts of classified for national security effects of EMF, because for decades the governments of the world hid the information on what wavelengths could do to people, DNA, and other animals. You can read about that in PDFs or White Papers from Dr. Martin Pall and Dr. Paul Dart, and look into the movement trying to ban WiFi in schools: http://rfemf.com/

PDF downloads/etc: http://oregonstatehospital.net...

Here's a video with Dr. Martin Pall and Dr. Paul Dart testifying on the harmful effects of EMF here in Oregon (to the legislature, Feb. 2014): http://oregonstatehospital.net...

Feel free to laugh.

we have known this. and we have known bees were being effected, as well.

and we know that humans and DNA are being effected by EMF.

watch this video that covers it. called "Resonance: Beings of Frequency" : http://vimeo.com/groups/docume...

In all living animals EMF causes activation of VGCCs intracell, causing release of calcium, that then creates nitric oxide and superoxidation, and injuries and sickness. You also have damage to DNA. The result is schizophrenia, autism, cancer, confusion, depression, anxiety, and other conditions.

There's a condition where about 5% of the worlds population is hypersensitive to this.

More details in this White Paper by Dr. Martin Pall: http://www.oregonstatehospital...

Entitled: Microwave Electromagnetic Fields Act by Activating Voltage - Gated Calcium Channels: Why the Current International Safety Standards Do Not Predict.

The paper was nominated for best research of 2013.

More information can be found on my website about government EMF weapons, radar and satellite systems that are also hurting people: http://www.obamasweapon.com/

If you read over the Dr. Martin Pall paper you'll actually find that the governments of the world has known about the effects of EMF for decades but kept the information classified and hidden from the public for national security reasons. Meaning they wanted to be able to weaponize it and keep it all secret. :)

Another undocumented effect is radiowave heterodyning which allows a radar weapons platform to remotely beam signals into your head, which alter synaptic signals, allowing full remote control.

Many choose to ignore anything that contradicts preconceived ideas, "accepted thinking, "settled science". TEPCO was certain a tsunami was no threat. They were told about it repeatedly. Arrogance and hubris from men that are accustomed to being the smartest man in the room. This is the fatal flaw. Not the technology. The people.

Transuranics were spread far and wide. How? A very serious question. I do not take it lightly, nor listen to fool's rant. Measures of Xenon gas isotopes would decisively prove/disprove this theory due to a half life measured in hours. That information has not been released. Why?

Arnie Gundersen is no ranting, stoned hippy. He was a gung-ho Nuke industry pro, a true believer. B.A. Nuclear Engineering Cum laud from the serious and respected Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (1971) . Master's degree in nuclear engineering thanks to a prestigious Atomic Energy Commission Fellowship (1972). 40 plus years nuclear power engineering experience, holds nuclear safety patent, licensed reactor operator, former nuclear industry senior vice president, managed and coordinated projects at 70-nuclear power plants in the US.

There is nothing of a lightweight in the man.

Arnie found radioactivity in an office safe.(IIRC) Well, how could that happen, he properly asked, and insisted on an answer. He was fired. Became a whistleblower, they tried to destroy him. He ended up broke, but not broken, and now "out of the priesthood". He dedicated his life to increased safety. His approach is cool, calm, fact based, science. After Fukushima he decided there are no safe Nukes. Because, People.40 good years, and one very bad day. The risks are not manageable over the long term. Odds are, something is going to break. The proof is in the results.

Here, many links about finding fuel bits http://www.zerohedge.com/contr...

google of prompt criticality Fukushima https://www.google.com/#q=prom....

The google search does not yield a scientific rebuttal of his argument. Nor have you attempted to rebut the argument. Nor evidently even bothered to watch the vid? Here is the link, again http://vimeo.com/22865967

Fukushima is permanently abandoned. You say the risks are over stated. Was the evacuation an error? Inside the buildings, levels are so high that machines cannot function. Men must enter this dangerous place, risk their lives for other's mistakes, for the next 40 years. Is this an acceptable risk?

The entire industry is threatened, Germany is shutting down. 5 closed last year in the US, another 8 plans canceled. Why? They have themselves to blame. The men in the industry did not listen, called it FUD, scaremongering. They did not act, repeatedly ignored warnings, repeatedly dodged safety issues. Now Japan has 50 reactors turned off. Very expensive rusting junk.

Now here in the US, a move to lower safety standards?

To the question? Fukushima is permanently abandoned. You say the risks are over stated. Was the evacuation an error?

Marcelo, I did not manage to find links to Mr Stansbury? If he has written about this, I am interested. Thanks. And Thanks for the good discussion. These are serious issues, of great consequence.

Plus once a reactor is shutdown, prompt criticality is impossible. Perhaps on Gen I reactors (all retired for at least 25 years now), but not even on any of Fukushima reactors.

This is the official position, NRC. Proof of concept was in the Borax experiments, years ago. The criticality was in the fuel pool. Not the reactor. The reactors just melted. Harmlessly, except the building is cracked, and ground water is flowing through.

Pumps down after station blackout. No coolant flow. Workers tried to access it, run water, valves did not function. Systems likely broken by earthquake. 3 levels of earthquake resistant gear, descending in toughness as one moved away from the reactor. The stuff thought to not be that important is what gave up. (NHK Documentary) Water boiled off, exposing the spent fuel rods. Hydrogen went boom, as in the others, in less than an instant, Zoom. Black mushroom cloud of volatilized spent fuel.

Check it out. If it is BS, it should be easy to debunk. So far, noone has. Instead, they call him names, say, oh well, he is a denier sort of thing. Really. Arnie's Vid http://vimeo.com/22865967

Cancer? A useless argument. Who can really say what causes this or that? It is a booming cause of death since 1950. Why? Who knows? Twinkies? Coca cola, that and steak sandwiches. Alexey V. Yablokov 2006 book, says a million died from Chernobyl. Jay M. Gould , Benjamin A. Goldman did an "Excess death study". Claim 40,000 US deaths after Chernobyl.

I do not know the truth about this. But the difference of opinion, the different numbers from this scientist and that could not be more stark. Maybe one is correct maybe this other. How do we know? i have given up on that.

Hang out at Lake Karachay for one hour. Die. At some point, we all agree, it is possible for this stuff to kill. All agree. There is an amount that is too much.

It is Not Acceptable to have to abandon New York City. No amount of coal or fossil fuel or natural gas, or low fat artificially flavored strawberry yogurt poses this level of threat.

That is my bottom line.

I will check it out. Good work there. The difference between what folks say is striking. This one says Chernobyl killed 60 or so, that one, a million. We are blessed to have all this information, this great tool, our struggle is to know what is true.

1986, word leaked out about Chernobyl. They were lying, trying to cover it up. Weatherman on TV talked about the passing air, the clouds, it is there, in the clouds, in the air over my head. He advised, if it rained, do not go outside.

It rained. Radoiactive rain. That was my moment of decision on the matter.

Chernobyl, Fukushima are an unacceptable. Leave your home with the clothes on your back, never return. Then, as soon as possible, get rid of the clothing. Tech can only be as good as the people. Repeatedly, the industry folds safety concerns for economic reasons, Japan and here. They lie. Japan lied, is still lying. There are three people I trust on the matter, Arnie Gunderson, Bob Alvarez and Dave Lockbaum. I should note that none of those three trusts them either. Listen to them, listen to their words, their arguments.

Gunderson called every aspect of Fukushima from the first month. Contradicting all the official, and expert statements at the time. Meltdowns, containment lost, radioactivity from groundwater to the sea. Tepco over their head, a management firm, not engineers. Spent fuel found all around. The amount of radioactivity far higher than stated.

And, that unit three was a prompt criticality. Yup. Black mushroom cloud, volatilized fuel. The world has not caught up with that, yet. NRC says it never happened, can't happen. I would be interested to hear your input. http://vimeo.com/22865967

The United States, due to the cold war escapade, our gift for spending Ten Trillion dollars, Ten Million Million dollars, for that we have an area the size of Delaware and Rhode Island combined, reeking with the stuff. Crap from the Manhattan Project is still a problem. They do not take care of business, they do not get it done. Then, they lie. There are virtually no variations from this.

Alvin Weinberg, a notable exception, a great and good man. Yanosuke Hirai of the Onagawa NPP. Closer to the quake center, a larger tsunami, instead of folks having to flee in terror, it became a sanctuary from the cold. MR Hirai is credited with that. He is described as a stern, old school man who was not to be contradicted. Alas, there seem to be few like those two great and good men.

It would be significantly better if it all of this stuff actually was not that dangerous. But, as should be clear by now, I do not trust them, it is too convenient. I immediately reject it as an effort to legislate the problem away. Hey, nobody can prove they got cancer from it, right? Japan has raised the "safe" level, cut off payments to folks and said, Okay, move back home now.

I am not neutral in the matter, I do not trust them. I am listening. But I will be damned, going forward? It will Not be business as usual. Past performance forces me to no other position than to say to the industry, to advocates, prove it. Get it done. Deal honestly with the existing issues, then talk to me about more, better newer, whatever. But until then? The answer is a definitive and unqualified No.

Marcelo, it is good to speak with you, my name is Jimmy. You keep at it, be one that listens to both sides, because both have serious people, worthy of our attention.

Ben Powell, "Somalia After State Collapse: Chaos or Improvement"

It was done in the 60's - so why no video now?

Uh, no. No one could have even discovered the dark side of the moon until the early 70's. There wasn't any video either, but there have been several attempts to reconstruct what it might have been like on a stage.

It's also worth remembering that, as pilots are the last line of defense when equipment starts malfunctioning, when a crash occurs the NTSB often sights "pilot error" for failing to maintain control during an equipment malfunction. It may be that the root cause of the failure was equipment malfunction, but unless a wing falls off the aircraft, the pilot is expected to maintain control of the airplane through all equipment malfunctions.

Anytime I hear about someone talking about making a better autopilot or someone making an autopilot for cars, I really wish they would watch the "Children of the Magenta" video that's now posted on Vimeo.

http://vimeo.com/64502012

Autopilots often make things more difficult for a pilot because, in some circumstances, the autopilot simply adds a new workload layer that can sometimes interfere with operations. I recently experienced that myself as I was trying to engage the autopilot as I was taking off out of Raleigh (I have a private pilot license and was flying a small 4 seater); the stupid system started complaining into my ear about altitude settings and being improperly set up just as Raleigh tower called me to ask me to turn. I had to shut the stupid system off and call to Raleigh tower to repeat the instructions.

Now watch the video and tell me that a more sophisticated autopilot system isn't going to just encourage more pilots to plug themselves (and the passengers they're flying) into the ground at a faster rate.

In this age of information, ignorance is a choice.

There already are sites like Vimeo that don't have the social-tie-in. Obviously it's not working like you propose.

Vimeo's guidelines require uploaded videos to be not only non-infringing but also the uploader's own work (permission is explicitly not enough) and without "commercial intent". Uncertainty around how those rules shall be interpreted makes me hesitant to recommend it as a general-purpose alternative to YouTube. For example, any video containing footage of a video game is banned if uploaded by anyone other than the game's copyright owner, which appears to rules out video game reviews that use footage of the game being reviewed. It also appears to be banned as "Product demos and tutorials" if uploaded by the game's copyright owner.

This comes in manual.
This is why you'll want one.

Facebooks plans revealed:

from mostly surplus machine parts. I designed it to have a build capacity sufficient to print full-size human skulls extracted from CT scan data. So far I have spent many hundreds of hours and about $1k on the machine.

Skip the low end of the printer market. They will not produce quality prints and build capacity is too small to satisfy for very long. First and foremost, look for a machine with a rigid frame (not plywood!). Avoid machines that have unsupported guide rail or screw ends. Quality prints require controlling the motion of the entire printer. You don't want anything wobbling or flopping around.

If you think you want to make money printing stuff, I recommend talking to a local oral maxillofacial surgeon. When they do reconstruction surgery for people who have experienced trauma or are otherwise disfigured, they frequently get 3D models printed to aid in planning of the surgery. One of the local guys here says a complete skull costs $1500 and a partial skull typically about $500. That's a lot better than you can do on etsy! You'll have to figure out how to extract the data from a CT scan (try DeVide or Osirix, combined with Blender, Meshlab, and Netfabb) to create a printable model, but if I can figure it out, you can too.

Lately I have been experimenting with an extruder design of my own invention. It uses counter-rotating nuts to drive the filament into the hot-end. It is working but still requires some tweaking of firmware and slicing options to get best results. You can see it running here: https://vimeo.com/89872411
and download the files to print one here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...

I use Sketchup for a lot of my models because it is fast and easy, but I do run into its limitations quite often. For those situations I use Designspark Mechanical, another freebie that works well but has a little steeper learning curve. If you're going to do a lot of this stuff (and you will once you have a printer) invest in a 3D mouse. I picked up a SpacePilot Pro on ebay for $200 and it was the best $200 I have spent in a long time. Once you get used to using it you won't want to touch CAD without it. I am hoping someone will release a good CAD package that runs under Linux so I can ditch Windows forever. The existing packages for linux just aren't quite there yet.

For the TL/DR: graphical programming is inefficent, and error prone; better methods of viewing source code during read-back is more interesting.

Apple has the Automator, which takes actions and chains them together. You can define variables, and operate on them.

I used to work with an enterprise software called Adobe LiveCycle, which does business process automation -- the approach was that rather than defining the business workflows in a chart diagram, and handing it over to a programmer to implement, the diagram itself WAS the program - business workflow designers (often managers and business consultants who were not technical) could build the workflow as individual steps, and more tech savvy people would add the variables and stuff to make it work.

A quick search on Google images turns up a lot of interesting stuff, including this graphical programming tool . The techniques have been in the making for a while.

Needless to say, even with these visual aids, to get something worthwhile done, you need to have actual programming knowledge - the Automator is good for home use but cute at best in production environments due to lack of finer configurability, and the business process workflow programming I mentioned still required in-depth computer knowledge: the workflow creators' work was often computationally inefficient, and often had to be refactored to take into account finer points of logic flow from both efficiency and data management points of view.

On top of that, it's easier to search on the Internet and on forums for code snippets, and discuss these when they're already in text form - no programmer actually works in isolation, communication is essential. Some advantages in reading back code might be had in graphical representation, and certainly creating a "visualization tool" for reading back code or designing high-level ideas might be helpful - but making it the implementation language is probably a bad idea.

On that matter, I recently came across the LightTable IDE which facilitates programming by doing live demonstrations of what happens to variables directly in the code flow. This also catches syntax issues early, bad type casting, and other relevant issues. Much better than a graphical abstraction I think, but that may just be preference.

The linked article indicates that visual programming has had success with casual creators in very specific scenarios (education of young kids, and use in LittleBigPlanet) - not in the general purpose programming arena for business critical solutions, high throughput systems, etc. Also, it says nothing concrete apart from "it's a matter of opinion" - nothing about the advantages or disadvantages of either.

Ultimately, it's like asking why bread shops don't use bread making machines. Tools for the job, tools for the desired outcome. If the simpler method works at home, that's great - but if you want to work professionally, the more sophisticated method yields better control over the final product.

Voting works perfectly well

In the absence of Gerrymandering, perhaps it might work sometimes -- depending on who counts the votes, how susceptible they are to manipulation by the powers that be (Oh goodie! digital votes, why not ask the NSA directly who should win?), how un-tainted the media is, etc. You're silly for using the term "perfectly". Voting hasn't ever worked perfectly well, or even reasonably well.

The congress critters are in someone's pocket, and it's not we the people, those that aren't compromised are marginalized by the media, there's just too much evidence to ignore that. Really, if you look to see the root of any great political change it comes from public outrage, not election day votes. Go be an activist. Oh, right, they know how to handle those folks too

The only people who don't think the general view is women == people are 'liberals' who like to think they're superior for repeating simplistic rhetoric. In the UK at least females passed equality decades ago. The schooling system in the west is badly gynocentric, we've thought feminist for so long the male being a person of equal worth is in doubt.

Feminism is a dogmatic ideology which believes gender to be entirely a social construct. It's as anti-science as creationism. It's an offshoot of Marxism which acts as a works union for just women. It uses propaganda based around sex and violence. etc

Women aren't inferior, but they are different to males. Evolution leaves females more likely to enjoy working with people. Males in general preferring working with systems. Differences in computer science are not based around the ideological proposition of feminism, male discrimination via patriarchy (A construct only feminists can see, control the definition of and benefit from.)

Simply: ~80% of females think computers are boring, because they're un-emotive abstract systems.

In theory, you're right, but in practice that's so, so not the case, especially here in the SF Bay Area, which seems to be neck-deep in the "build-first" mentality of freshly minted MBAs.

Over the last year I've talked with so many startups, mostly "founders" and "entrepreneurs" with Bschool degrees, who seem to be taught that all they need is an "idea/vision". They just need to get someone to build it, because, you know, they've run the numbers and they "know the market" (actual, real-life quote from an actual situation). When I ask, "What problem does this solve, for whom, and how do you know this?", they scoff and tell me that they don't need to do any user research and besides, that'd slow things down.

Now, there may be actual pressures on startups to start building without ever observing a single potential user. Certainly if you're going to present at Y Combinator, they want to see code, a product, and tons of "confidence" (again, actual quote from actual situation). Showing them serious research on populations, data on engagement, prototypes... that'll get you laughed out.

But, side note: 75 to 90% of all startups fail. Go figure.

As a UX professional, this really grinds my bacon, six ways to Sunday. It's like seeing a kid whinge that the test was hard when you know they didn't do any of the homework. Perhaps they think that user research means months, and 100s of pages of specs (and, to be fair, it could), but I think a lot of this comes not just from stakeholder pressure but a misreading or Ries's "Lean Startup". Sure, it helps to get something in users' hands quickly, but this is based on research first. Know who your users are, what problems they face, how they think. At least an idea of it. You can rapidly prototype, GOOB, test, iterate, all within cycles of days or weeks. But you HAVE TO KNOW THE USER (who is NOT YOU) first.

How could anyone ever not get it?

A space-warring world forcibly united under a pax (versus bugs) (US-)americana, kept in check through brainwashing highschools (with a nod to Pink Floyd) and psi-ops staring at no goats at all, as well as gamified, interactive global military-state television (nicely imagined when few people had ever seen such things, Fox, or even always-on internet) - full of overidentification that probably even North Korea would recognize&ban, and not-too-subtle references to world events, history and plenty of other notably (anti-)war movies...

The big mistake (like for Highlander) was ever making sequels of it.

Energy goes as velocity squared, so a bird strike at 600 mph has 16x the energy of a strike at a 150 mph takeoff speed where most bird strikes occur. At these higher impact velocities and without the metal airframe surrounding the entire windshield like on an airliner, the only way the canopy can survive an impact is by deforming enough to spread out the impact over time, but not so much that it hits the pilot's head.

There's a beautiful film of a high-speed bird strike test on a F16 canopy that I saw in a 1980s or 1990s documentary. Unfortunately the only version I could find on youtube has the gamma set too low so you can't really see the detail. The canopy bubbles underneath as it deflects the bird up, then snaps back to its original shape. You can kinda see at 6-7 seconds when the bird remains disappear from view due to the canopy bouncing back to its original shape. This video shows a similar test from the side and you can see the impressive amount of deformation. The canopy bends enough to smash the HUD, but bounces back into shape. This video is tests of road debris (a tire) into a race car windshield at relatively low speed (compared to a F16 or T38), but they show a plane canopy for comparison.

Actually, if I remember correclty, you can change a dll after it has been signed. At least for everything in .net.

You should all do some homework before throwing out all this prejudice. Flow based programming has been successfully used in many implementations ever since it's invention in the 70's at IBM. One Canadian bank has been running (and maintaining) an FBP program continuously for over 40 years!

You are right that FBP (or something very close) can be found in successful systems such as Unix pipes, LabView and Apple quartz composer. If you read FBP inventor J P Morrisons canonical book on the topic (linked below) though, you will notice that there are some details to the FBP specifications that should be observed, in order to gain all the full benefits of a full-featured FBP implementation.

so annoying when you try to watch a video on youtube and get the "Video blocked on mobile device" message.

plus Vimeo has many higher quality options on some videos, there are a few uploaded in resolutions higher than 1080 on vimeo. And many many short film directors use vimeo before going to youtube.

Lots of exclusive shorts that directors flock to such as the creepy "Abe" short film
