Yes, the land values in these walkable cities are indeed plummeting.
Jonah and Beth Mitchell, San Francisco lawyers, recently submitted an offer of a little under $1 million for a home listed for $899,000 in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood. The property, which Jonah Mitchell described as a "cookie-cutter" house built in 1951, eventually sold for roughly $1.2 million. Earlier this year, Mitchell lost out on another property that attracted 31 offers.
In fact I think I saw that listing, and it was not a particularly large place.
I asked somebody at an Apple store (San Francisco) about this the other day. Country-specific Macs are only available in the country to which they are specific.
So far this is a prototype running on my machine with a corpus of 50MB of html, but I'm hoping to get a demo site up in a week or two. Performance is so far very good.
There are still a few questions to resolve, such as whether people want to search raw html, or text with the tags stripped out like most search engines use. Right now it's working on straight html, and displaying contexts in raw format. When the demo is up I'm hoping to have people try it and give feedback on what options are the most useful.
The GIS community went through a similar thing with various metadata initiatives. People can put anything on a map, and the government tried to standardize its map layers into a centralized ontology, i.e. one type for streams, one for roads, one for pipes, etc. Unfortunately it became incredibly difficult to manage, and there were full-time data managers working to fit things together.
To quote Ted Nelson:
Intertwingularity is not generally acknowledged -- people keep pretending they can make things deeply hierarchical, categorizable and sequential when they can't. Everything is deeply intertwingled.
I agree with Ted. I think the future is in better search tools, to handle ad-hoc queries instead of having people pre-designate their own work.
So far the biggest semantic web project I've seen is IBM's WebFountain, which is basically a big sed script that goes through the web and wraps each stock phrase it finds with meta tags, and enters them in a big database. It seems like a reasonable phrase search would accomplish the same thing.
Searched the web for 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0. Results 11 - 20 of about 121. Search took 0.17 seconds.
Unfortunately, those submit-a-site programs are routinely ignored by the search engines who claim to be soliciting urls. I worked at one portal-wannabe in the 90's, and one of my duties was to evaluate auto-classification tools for the submit-a-site program. We went through several rounds of meetings, bids, etc., and then after we had finally selected a tool, somebody higher up pulled the plug on the program. There was simply no profit in it, as it was mainly a free submit-a-spam pipeline. Not long after, the idea of paying for inclusion was born, and all the backlogged submissions were dumped.
My guess is your url is sitting in a log file somewhere, several levels removed from ever being touched again.
It seems to be a cultural thing. I can jam into a subway car full of people talking on the phone in Seoul or Tokyo and hardly hear a word.
The other day I rode in a BART car with a woman who was talking so loudly I could still hear her when I moved to the other end of the car, despite wind and mechanical noise, etc. I got the whole story - her job, her mortgage, the model and price of her car and the payments, details of her union's contract negotiations, her future plans for the next 3-5 years, how much overtime she works, the whole nine yards.
Evidently she won't be moving to Asia anytime soon.

Instead of hashing, they could take each movie or picture, pass it through a discrete cosine transform, quantize it, and produce a list of major signal components which characterize the image.
But who would ever do that - it would take a whole group of motion picture experts to get it to work.

That's funny. Usually when I have a problem with my cable they send over Don Knuth. I flipped him a twenty once, and he gave me free NP channels.
What do they call that - Rat5 cable?

Every time they press the grapes, they throw in Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fischer, and ten tons of garbage.

Well then, I guess it's true. Yahoo really isn't serving up any Googol search results.
It's probably not a big deal to expand the capacity, but it certainly looks like it's pegged to 2^32 for this release.

I clicked on "Overture Research" and browsed it yesterday. I'm sure you'll find a lot of links to it under the old name.
They're supposed to throw some really good parties in there somewhere.
Unfortunately, I once saw a picture of a party at Google, and I almost puked.
