The Official Google Blog (917) permalink
Whenever we release a product in beta as we just did with Google Chrome, we can always count on our users to come up with ways to improve it. This week's example: several eagle-eyed users and bloggers have expressed concern that Section 11 of Google Chrome's terms of service attempts to give us rights to any user-generated content "submitted, posted or displayed on or through" the browser.You'll notice if you look at our other products ...Shared by Adam Dempsey (13) Alexandar (7) alphakamp (21) Andrew Girdwood (33) Aneel (14) Benjamin Golub (13) Bob Caswell (15) Bonstio (11) C.K.

Ranking der Olympiamediallen mal anders (1)

Qbi's Weblog (0) permalink
Im Verlaufe von Olympia gab es verschiedene Medaillen-Rankings, entweder nach der Zahl der Mediallen, dem Verhältnis von angereisten Athleten zu Medaillen oder BIP zu Medaillen. Nun hat Simon Tatham ein neues Ranking entwickelt. Er geht davon aus, dass mehr Medaillen besser als weniger sind und dass höhere Medaillen besser als niedrigere sind. Dadurch entstand eine Halbordnung. Die Verhältnisse sind in dem untenstehenden Diagramm dargestellt:Shared by ephes (5)Contribute comment -
Where do labels come from? (1)

depth first search (0) permalink
Andrew Ng’s keynote at ICDL 2008 was quite enjoyable. If nothing else, he has killer demos. One of the themes of the keynote was a particular view that machine learning is moving towards solving learning problems with a paucity of available labels. He quoted Geoff Hinton’s work on deep belief nets as an example of a learning algorithm that learns through experience, as opposed to learning exclusively through labels. Hinton’s arguments is that there are ...Shared by ephes (5)Contribute comment - pics/english/abra_kadabra.jpg (1)

:::denn sie wissen nicht, was sie tun sollen::: (2) permalink
Wir werden in den nächsten Monaten eine sehr intensive Debatte erleben, in der sehr viele sog. Wirtschaftsexperten sagen werden: Oh weh und wei, Krise in den USA, Spanien, Dänemark und England, es ist falsch zu glauben, wir als Exportnation könnten uns entkoppeln, wir werden alle zusammen drauf gehen, wir werden Gras fressen und aus russischen Toiletten trinken, das wird ganz furchtbar - wenn wir nicht geeignete Massnahmen sofort und auf der Stelle durchführen.

If you use LinkedIn, then you have probably been impressed by their "People you may know" feature. I know that I have. From old friends and colleagues to an occasional person I don't necessarily want to see again, the list often contains quite familiar names.LinkedIn is basically a large graph of connections among people, enhanced with information such as company names, date of link, and so on. We can imagine how they determine whether someone ...Contribute comment - pics/9a29d349ff55.gif (1)

In der Link-Schatzkiste Wunderweb habe ich bereits auf Mygazines.com hingewiesen. Seit Ende Juli stellt der Dienst eingescannte Zeitschriften und Magazine zur Verfügung, man kann sie durchblättern, kommentieren und remixen. Aktuell sind etwa 1400 verschiedene Hochglanzblätter im Angebot, vorwiegend aus dem englischsprachigen Raum. Es ist wie mit Napster und der Musikindustrie: Die Industrie findet keine Antwort auf einen immensen Bedarf, der offensichtlich nach digitalen Angeboten besteht. Erst Steve Jobs konnte, Jahre nach Napster, mit iTunes/iPod zeigen, ...Contribute comment -

Comparison Shopping Engine Strategies (2) permalink
Comparison Shopping Engines (CSEs) are product marketing websites that display aggregated product offerings across multiple retailers. Examples include Shopping.com, Nextag.com, Shopzilla.com and PriceGrabber.com. Consumers often visit CSEs to find the most attractive offer on a product they have already determined they want to purchase. However, some consumers will also use CSEs as part of their product discovery and research process. Once on the CSE, the consumer is able to evaluate various offers from multiple retailers ...Shared by ephes (5)Contribute comment -

Recht gern lese ich, etwa in der Zeit oder so, ellenlange, sorgenschwere Artikel über das Schulsystem und freue mir ein Loch in den Bauch, dem Bildungswesen der Republik entkommen zu sein. Abgesehen von zwei Staatsexamina habe ich keine Schäden davongetragen, die nicht nach einigen Jahren wieder von selbst verschwunden wären. Denn tatsächlich verhält es sich doch so: Schule ist schrecklich. Man wird mit lauter Leuten zusammengesperrt, von denen man mit rund zwei Dritteln freiwillig nie ...Shared by ephes (5)Contribute comment -
Worst Hit Man Ever (15)

The alleged hit man whacked the nurse with a hammer, which only pissed her off, so she strangled the hit man with her bare hands.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14859827/It is all very tragic, and yet I am amused by everything in this story, starting with the fact that the husband's first choice was to ...Shared by Bif (6) Chris T (4) Christopher (22) Daemach (9) Dean (15) diongillard (0) Don C (4) ephes (5) GeniusBoyWonder (25) Jonathan (28) Krista Janicki (10) Muthu Ramadoss (8) Rob (3) Simone (10) Todd (5)
