I was grossly overweight to the point that the doctor was worried so I said to myself that this cannot go on. I changed the amount of food I ate from large dishes to normal dishes and skipped any evening meals except vegetables. I also picked up daily one hour walks or swimming. During 4 months I lost somewhere close to 100 pounds and felt great.

Submission + - Algorithm Rates Trustworthiness of Wikipedia Pages
paleshadows writes: Researchers at UCSC developed a tool that measures the trustworthiness of each wikipedia page. Roughly speaking, the algorithm analyzes the entire 7-year user-editing-history and utilzes the longevity of the content to learn which contributors are the most reliable: If your contribution lasts, you gain "reputation", whereas if it's edited out, your reputation falls. The trustworthiness of a newly inserted text is a function of the reputation of all its authors, a heuristic that turned out to be successful in identifying poor content. The interested reader can take a look at this demo (random page with white/orange background marking trusted/untrusted text, respectively; note "random page" link at the left for more demo pages), this
presentation (pdf), and this paper (pdf).
Feed Engadget: Nikon's Coolpix S51c with a lick of WiFi sugar (engadget.com)
Filed under: Digital Cameras
Mmm mm, WiFi and digital photography go together like brown on Zune (whatever that means). Sprinkle in a 3-inch LCD, optical lens shift vibration reduction, SDHC expansion, and Nikon's new EXPEED image processing and you've got Nikon's Coolpix S51c. Under the hood you'll find an 8.1 megapixel, 1/2.5-inch CCD pumping away in support of that 3x Zoom-NIKKOR glass. All well and good, but the WiFi seems limited to pushing photos up to Nikon's new "My Picturetown" service only. At least from there it "supports picture transfer to various imaging devices as well as Internet services." €299/$407 -- less if you opt for the WiFi-less S51.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
