The Ministry has also stated that the facades of 1190-1212 must be conserved

Here's how it would work: Songs would be priced strictly on demand. The more people who download the latest Eminem single, the higher the price will go. The same is true in reverse—the fewer people who buy a song, the lower the price goes. Music prices would oscillate like stocks on Nasdaq, with the current cost pegged to up-to-the-second changes in the number of downloads. In essence, this is a pure free-market solution—the market alone would determine price.

As described in a previous Note, I bought the family pack for OS X and iLife updates even though the ‘’single” version can be installed on any number of machines. That alone probably gets me into the lower tier of the Friendly Idiot database somewhere in Apple’s Cloud, but the fact that I also pay $100/yr for MobileMe upgrades me to Platinum status.

C'est là la grande force d'Apple.

CELT is a general purpose, low-delay codec intended for similar

use and performance cases as Vorbis, but with the additional

features of very low delay and low CPU/memory requirements. CELT

supports stereo, can achieve a total algorithmic delay as low as

5ms, scales well to lower bitrates than Vorbis, and currently

provides superior audio fidelity to Vorbis on many if not most

natural audio inputs. From 24kbps through 64kbps 48kHz stereo, it

is comparable quality to HE-AAC v1 and provides considerably higher

audio fidelity than AAC-LD with equal or much lower delay.

To meet the growing demand, the Web platform of the future will require smarter integration of non-PC devices with Web technology so that both hardware and software vendors can provide richer Web applications on various devices at lower costs.

a set of standards that I think should be in place for any REST authentication scheme.

Here's the summary:

1. All REST API calls must take place over HTTPS with a certificate signed by a trusted CA. All clients must validate the certificate before interacting with the server.

2. All REST API calls should occur through dedicated API keys consisting of an identifying component and a shared, private secret. Systems must allow a given customer to have multiple active API keys and de-activate individual keys easily.

3. All REST queries must be authenticated by signing the query parameters sorted in lower-case, alphabetical order using the private credential as the signing token. Signing should occur before URL encoding the query string.

The Closure Library is a broad, well-tested, modular, and cross-browser JavaScript library. You can pull just what you need from a large set of reusable UI widgets and controls, and from lower-level utilities for DOM manipulation, server communication, animation, data structures, unit testing, rich-text editing, and more.

Criticism • Side effects often dominate over intended consequences of any project or endeavor. • Abstract views may make us callous or may badly reflect ground truth. • Ignorance is bliss. The world is filled with sob stories. Best to not dwell? • Such services may be used solely for the most banal aspirations and goals. • Struggle may be important - making things too easy may harm fitness and lower diversity of skills and abilities over long term. • What about poor people who are outside of any implied technological social network? • Why not just help people around you? • Any technology should go hand in hand with day to day personal practice that is unmediated? • Feedback loops may be created that accelerate and disrupt society. • Virtual and visual only for curators; not tactile; uses only one sense. A concern?

Well before Soho became SOHO, there was the West Village, an urban network of lower and middle class dwellers, merchants, craftsmen, intellectuals and artists in the infrastructure of city parks, small restaurants, cafes and theaters. In time, this cultural stronghold of the Lower West Side fell into decline and one of the last flagships of the performing arts was, for a short time, located at the Mercer Arts Center, an assembly of small theaters facing Mercer street in what was the old Hotel Central.
