Check out the web site for the space elevator competition. It includes videos of climb attempts, and lots of data about what they're trying to accomplish and why.
Assuming that most of the
That said, as someone who's actually studied NA, I don't apply it often enough, because the tools we use day to day don't help very much.
This has already changed (in the US). If you look at the copyright in Google Maps, it now showing data copyright Google, as opposed to the providers they previously licensed their data from.
It's a good idea as long as your allowed to do something about it. At some companies, you just use it and suffer. From what I've seen, the culture at Google allows people to make contributions (e.g., Labs) to fix things.
This is key. Everything is becoming social. Blogging, which might one have been viewed as publishing, is now social because Google has tied FriendConnect to Blogger. Legitimate job seeking tools like LinkedIn are very heavily social-network oriented.
This is stupid for a variety of reaons, but in a few years it will be the equivalent of banning them from using the Internet.
That they finally takes interest means that they have started to worry about losing their advantage.
Precisely. And so, their goal in joining the HTML5 standards process will be to slow it down as much as possible so that they can catch up, while keeping their competitors from making progress.
How does you company feel about keeping it's money in outside banks?
If ASCAP really believes that ringtones constitute a performance, then surely they won't mind standing between any decent rock band and their fans when the band comes out and only performs 16 bars of all their hit songs.
You're taking it too literally. What the story says is that once you make those engines really efficient, then they'll be used for things that never had them before, refrigerators, to make up an example.
But it's not an insoluble problem, either. If you create a carbon tax that penalizes people for using non-renewable fuels, then you won't get the increased usage.
Ah, we all get our power from the "electrical cloud". We all need private generators. Ah! Ah!
Do some more research.
You will find that Henry VIII's divorce was very much a religious issue, leading to the creation of the Church of England.
More to the point, I never claimed the pope personally ordered Tyndale's execution. However, a highly placed bishop (Cuthbert Tunstall) declared his translation to be heretical and had the books burned.
Another cardinal (Thomas Woolsey) demanded Tyndale's arrest as a heretic after his translation was published. Note that Woolsey, though English, remained true to the Catholic church, and was stripped of power by Henry VIII.
The parent is correct. While the Pope may have bought into printing for his own purposes, the Church objected mightily to the translations that were printed in the common language. William Tynedale was even executed for his work in translating the Bible into English.
FYI: Safari 4 is out (as beta). It screams. Unfortunately a little too buggy to use, but damn, it's fast.
I've decided that Malcolm Gladwell is a storyteller. As such, he learns what stories resonate with people, and because he's a good storyteller, he's become very successful at spinning his tales.
While I haven't read Outliers, I did read "Blink" and found that while he provided lots of anecdotes to support his premise, there was no mechanism, no measurement, and no way to verify it. In fact, he provided a number of other anecdotes that showed just the opposite.
What he did in that book, I think, was to state a premise that we'd like to believe, that our gut instincts are right, and tell stories to reinforce that, but never go so far as to make a claim that could be verified. I'm not alone in this view.
Based on what I've read so far, "Outliers" seems like more of the same.
Memory fault - where am I?
