One of the original videos used in this compilation - with the traditional "sky is moving" feeling - is this one: http://vimeo.com/22439234. It's the best, in my opinion.
Thanks for this. I've been wondering what was used to make HN for some time.
I agree that we can use some persuasive-only arguments - that is: some type of informal fallacy - to justify a line of thought.
In the 13 countries McKinsey studied, the Internet has contributed on average 3.4 percent to GDP, weighting more than agriculture, energy, and other better-established industries, and it adds considerable vigor to economic growth. Perhaps surprisingly, the brunt of this impact (about 75 percent) is from industries that are not directly linked to the Internet, except of course by their computers. This value comes primarily from increased productivity.
Understanding just how much the Internet contributes to national economies should spur government and business leaders to seek ways to optimize their participation in the global Internet ecosystem. Encouraging usage is an unavoidable first step in leveraging public spending, but leaders must also focus on providing human capital, financial capital, infrastructure, and the appropriate business environment.
I searched: suporte, cadeira, filho, barata, coelho, figueira, orkut.
What's that area center-right in SF that apparently no tourist likes to go?
A lot of our browsing activity is not anonymous anymore, I can see the ads are tracking me! So why not use this 'system' for something else?
I created an account. It's a very neat interface. I'll try to use it in a meeting soon.
On the other hand, I feel bad when I did many small things during the whole day but could not complete many of them. After the day is finished, it's hard to point what I did and the day does not seem to worth when this happens.
It bothers me when this happens... I end giving up to find proxies or other ways to reach the site.
I tought I could just paste the title in Morse code into your script/page, but I see it goes only the other way, right?
At least Flippa was mentioned here some times. I don't know how theses sites deal with as 650k/year site, but you are trying many options, I guess...
There is also the old discussion about a site value: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=355627
PS. You could have added "Ask HN:" in your title. That would probably attract more people to answer you.
It's strange: sometimes a video downloads at 38Mbps - very fast - and some other it keeps buffering resulting in less than 1Mbps. I can see it with NetMeter (I love to always have a graph of my connection speed).
I analysed it a litte bit, all I could see was packet loss and retransmissions. It might be realted to the IP where I'm getting the youtube video, but I still have to dig it more.
The site can expand the camera->owner database by searching photos with valid EXIFs on famous sites and correlating it to the user.
