    There was an article in the Wall St Journal a few days ago discussing the bias of US reporters. They mentioned that many of the "embedded" journalists use the personal pronoun "we" all the time. They compared that with a clip from a British reporter who was careful enough to detach himself, referring to the soldiers using "they". "They are encountering resistance..." "They are approaching Baghdad..." etc. Its a noticable difference.

    The article also mentioned that BBC seems to be doing a better job trying objective than US stations.

  6. One benefit of the RF cards... on Sony's Cashless Smart Card Catching on in Japan · · Score: 1
    From my experience comparing the Taipei, HK, and Tokyo subways against NYC, one of the big benefits of these cards is that the fares with the RF cards are based on the distance you travel, where as in NYC its just a flat rate. So the panhandler shaking a cup in your face who has been on the train for 5 hours paid the same $1.50 that you paid to go 20 blocks from Canal St to Union Sq in 10 minutes (assuming he didn't just jump the turnstile). If I remember correctly, the fares in Taipei ranged from about $0.75 to $2.25 depending on the distance you go.

    This would be hard to implement with the current metrocards in NYC because it would require you to swipe both on the way in and the way out.

  7. Re:Bogus on Literate Programming and Leo · · Score: 1

    Any sort of program that you plan on using long term will almost undoubtedly need updating. Do you really thing you are going to recall how some program you wrote a year or more ago was structured? That's ignoring the very likely possibility that it isn't the original programmer that is updating the code. It may be faster to just build a new program from the ground up.

    Without proper documentation or comments, code is (almost) completely useless.
