There is no quid pro quo for accuracy of the information (except in credit card data mining industry, and travel companies are already in that business). Easy enough to give bad data. Sure, there are things you cannot fake with air travel due to Homeland Security requirements. But we should all be in the habit of polluting our data at least a little bit. I change my birthday on almost every site, and the more sites that ask for my birthday, the greater my opportunity to pollute the grid. I'm more concerned about my friends tagging my information than I am about the information I give to grocers (I do have a grocery reward card, but I use one I found in the parking lot)
No, go see Planet 9 From Outer Space. It's a great example of the type of crap that wouldn't have gotten distribution if someone hadn't had the bright idea that 3D would fix it.
Simple fallacy in the Google rep's logic. My business uses google aps 90% of the time. And we purchase Microsoft Office.
I use forward gears in my car 90% of the time, but value the ability to go in reverse. Most of us, by this logic, are also a vegetarians 90% of the time, but don't abandon your McDonald's stock. Google apps are even necessary for many of our office activity, but not sufficient.
Microsoft Live is not yet Google Docs, and Google Docs are a long way from Microsoft Office (though each is getting closer).
Taiwan is not stealing American jobs any more than England is. "Idiots in CEO suits, idiot board of directors, idiot consultants, stealing?" What crybaby planet did you grow up on, an in what year? Taiwan designs and invents more than half the stuff they build, and if Nick Woodman had a choice between being trapped in an elevator with a Taipei engineer like Terry Gou or Simon Lin, or a whiner who thinks every global deal is a loss for America, I think he's wise to take the car going up.
As a manager in my 20s I learned that I could not stop top management from interfering in my 6m budget. But I learned which parts of the budget they gave high priority (e.g. media outreach), and learned to always budget a $50k component they were sure to want control of. I would then act like I was very interesteed in it and be sure to fight for control. Admittedly this was public sector, state management. But these were Harvard and MIT managers, and they'd usually Chase the Dog Toy log enough for me to control the direction of 98% of the projects. It worked even better if the boss's bosses took interest, and kept them off the furniture.
There's two topics here, one is use of potentially valuable information by, say, emergency responders (leads, evidence, etc.). The program could be useful. The second (e.g. "don't use 911") is "a headline", i.e. it is aimed at spreading news (or troll farts) as media to the social public. These are definitely two completely separate problems to solve. The second problem is best solved by evolution, as people who get their "news" off of social media become even stupider than they were to begin with and die off.
We would have saved USA farms, removed the ethanol subsidy, and had a home grown supply for the Colorado and Washington legalization demand. And we could have reduced the money spent imprisoning pot smokers, and dealt a serious blow to Mexico cartel gangs. Only one problem... we wouldn't have needed $250M in taxpayer funding, they could have accomplished all this success just by executive order, removing marijuana from DEA lists, legalizing it, taxing it, etc.
I don't smoke marijuana (or haven't in decades), but am tired of the prohibition insanity. Maybe the free market capitalists and the capitalism-skeptics on/. can find something here to agree on.
I went and visited a 55 year old Chinese investor. When I'd last studied business-in-Asia in the late 1980s, this/. article describes what it was like in every Asian city. I asked my host if that's what I was going to have to prepare for. No, he said, it's not like that anymore. He explained: " I mean, it used to be like that. But those guys are all dead."
Whoa, Time out... The Boston church of Mary Baker Eddy, which publishes the Christian Science Monitor, is a very legitimate and focused denomination. Some of their founders beliefs (from 1879) have not aged well. I'm not a member of the Christian Science Church and certainly don't share all their health care beliefs, but coming from the South I always knew it to be among the most intellectual and reasoning of the several denominations (no problems with evolution or hard science). You are going to have to be willing to deal with Christianity in Texas, and writing Christian Scientists off the congressional jury pool is not going to improve your odds of getting a reasonable scientific outcome. Even in health care, I like having someone around who questions how many drugs and hormones we are pumping into our kids... perhaps it's not on the scale of global warming, but the meds are NOT filtered out of the urine at water treatment plants, and are experimenting with the ecosystem's tolerance for all the designer drugs Christian Science questions...
As they did not shut down the electricity at the offending site. And since they also power the monitors and light here where I read it, double damages.
Yeah, I know this is slashdot, but really, read the article. Try to see past "this is GOP so it must be either wonderful or the work of the devil depending on your bigotry". It's a good paper, worthy of debate.
I've got mod points at the moment, but rather than oblivionate the current pathetic trolls, flamebait and fr1st p0st crap, I'd rather encourage some thought.
And I too have MOD POINTS, and I too would have "modded up" as I have the points, but am working on Google Chrome and get this blinky-blinky thing when I try to mod. So on Chrome, we "ditto".
I work in the tech recycling business, but we get literally hundreds of tons of books turned in for recycling. It pains me to see most of them go to paper recycling recovery, though there is a growing market for shops that scan barcodes for resale. I would think that Google would have problems with copyright law, as would any single entity who is at risk of scanning the wrong book (i.e. the one someone would take time to sue you for, especially if you have deep google-pockets). This direction opens to small scale "wiki-scanning", which could be really ideal since people who have actually read the book would probably be the best ones to figure out if was worth the time to scan, would tend to prioritize important books (preserving them) and would present a very decentralized system for lawsuits. If I can scan the book for "personal use" like the cassette tape rulings for music, all the better. The problem is the physical space these books take, and its causing a lot of out of print books to get made into cereal boxboard, and the scale at which 50-100 year old out of print books are getting recycled is scary.
I work internationally, and when the term comes up in a context like, say Africa, where people feel like underdogs but are not minorities, or have multiple splits within the race as in China, it gets really complicated. The term has more meaning in USA or European contexts, perhaps, but since this is "Geomapping" it is a geographic study and I don't think this will work. t would be similar if you were trying to track "Classist" tweets across a geopolitical line where the economic strata are different. They should be measuring "aggression" or "separatism" or something. It would be easier if Twitter got people to add hashtags #Imatroll or #fromadickweed or #aggressiveshithead etc.

And my fingers have evolved to submit trollish comments. In journalism, such a headline is called "if it bleeds it leads".
It's a miracle! A miracle? The Scientists are a very naughty boy.
Just say "It's bad, m'kay? It's not good, it's bad." Works as well as jargon.

Hall's opposition was even more pronounced. One could even say that by appointing Lamar Smith, who only attacked "one sided coverage" (vs the 88 year old Hall's direct attack on the science), that Texas may be slowly warming up to the idea... http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2011/12/ralph-hall-speaks-out-on-climate.html
Get off of my lawn!!
I think that's the whole point. It should not be fun. That's why we didn't name them something flashier.
I was expecting something that really mattered, like... the end of all matter, according to Time magazine (and others) in 2008. http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1838947,00.html

Put it in the freezer, thaw and eat by yourself on Thursday, watching re-runs of Star Trek?
And do they accept bitcoins?
Finally, internet pornography will be thwarted, and David Cameron will go down in history.
