A great way to see poverty
This image is google search results by language graphed onto the globe.  You can interact with it here: http://data-arts.appspot.com/globe-search/

It occurs to me, that if you were to somehow graph population density onto this same graph, you would have a great indicator of poverty or perhaps wealth. I wish I could do it.  Anyone know any googler's who might be able to?

Can someone please explain to me what they are asserting copyright over?
And how they can do that if it is based on Open Source Stuff?

Details please. I am a lawyer, so I kinda want detailed analysis.

interestingly, I screen capped an image in a community and posted it. I got a DCMA takedown notice for it. Edit: seems it might be kosher.

Here's a screen cap of the notice he sent.

This is one of the most important documents of our age.
It is also a clear act of treason.
Thoughts?

Also, is JPB on here?

A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace

by John Perry Barlow <barlow@eff.org>

Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.

We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always speaks. I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us. You have no moral right to rule us nor do you possess any methods of enforcement we have true... more »

Opportunity for Treason!

So the interesting thing about a Jarvis Virus or an ADA Refactor is that each #ingress object can be used by an agent of either faction.

So while a Jarvis Virus is normally used by an Enlightened agent to flip a Resistance Portal to the Enlightened, in theory, the virus could be used by a Resistance agent to do the same.

A Resistance agent faces an interesting moral dilemma if they find themselves in the possession of a Jarvis Virus. Should they Recycle and destroy it right away to keep such dangerous tech out of the hands of the Enlightened? Or should they keep it as a potential bargaining chip? Would it be a betrayal to trade the object to an Enlightened agent in exchange for other goods?

An ADA Refactor can only be used to flip an Enlightened Portal to the Resistance. What should an Enlightened agent do if they obtain one?

The Sieve of Eratosthenes: This procedure, which dates back to the ancient Greeks, identifies all the primes less than a given number, in this case 121. It starts with the first prime — two, colored bright red — and eliminates all numbers divisible by two (colored dull red). Then it moves on to three (bright green) and eliminates all multiples of three (dull green). Four has already been eliminated, so next comes five (bright blue); the sieve eliminates all multiples of five (dull blue). It moves on to the next uncolored number, seven, and eliminates its multiples (dull yellow). The sieve would go on to 11 — the square root of 121 — but it can stop here, because all the non-primes bigger than 11 have already been filtered out. All the remaining numbers (colored purple) are primes. (Illustration: Sebastian Koppehel)

3,756,801,695,685 x 2^666,669 – 1 is prime.

What's the next prime?

So with the death of the treaty (finally!) is anyone giving thought to more cross factional events. Perhaps drinks proceeded by some warfare?  There have been some great ideas floated in the past, so it would be nice to hear what people think.

Google Plus upgrade provides stiff competition to Yahoo!

Google has finally created a Yahoo! killer with it's upgrade to Google+, it's social networking app.  Moving away from elegance and simplicity, Google has embraced the screen filling information blast that has made websites like Yahoo and long screen sales pages a hit through the ages. Even the font employed is designed to force concentration on the screen making it as easy to find stuff of google as it has been on Yahoo now for years.

"Not since www.zombo.com has the internet seen such a re-reimagining, such a powerful use of existing technology."

Google plus, which, despite having millions of users pressed into it by other google products, has been missing that feel that oriental marketplace feel that Yahoo! has provided for years now.  Marissa Mayer, the first female googler who heads upYah... more »

I guess the problem is that nobody has thought about human nature from the point of view of what is best. It has always been war or persuasion that has driven such thought.


That's why thousands of years later I'm covering my body in oils each morning like the Egyptians of old, unsatisfied with what nature gave me.

In September 2009, a South African IT company, based in Durban, pitted an 11-month-old bird armed with a data packed 4GB memory stick against the ADSL service from the country's biggest internet service provider, Telkom. The pigeon named Winston took an hour and eight minutes to carry the data 80 km (50 mi). Including transferring, it took two hours, six minutes, and 57 seconds for the data to arrive, the same amount of time it took to transfer 4% of the data over the ADSL.

Turns out that Sending data by pigeon can be faster than using the internet

Whilst we are in this interegum with no treaty, I think it would be good to discuss additional blue mods and policies for this community.

It has become nasty and trolley, and lots of people are leaving. It would be a shame to lose it.
