    After Chrome, Google continues to branch out into other territories. This is somewhere between Java and Flash and others. It seems to me (Kev) that this could be quite important (if it doesnt die like Lively did) for online apps. Can anyone check it out i

Tom Sawyer, whitewashing fences, and building communities online - 3 views

  • If you are looking to ideas like open source or social media as simple means to get what you want for your company, it’s time to rethink your community strategy.
  • I’ve talked to people at companies who are considering “open sourcing” their product because they think there is an army of people out there who will jump at the chance to build their products for them. Many of these people go on to learn tough but valuable lessons in building community. It’s not that simple.
  •  
    Illuminating article about corporations trying to exploit "open source" and not getting what they want.
  •  
    I like the red had definition: "To be the catalyst in communities of customers, contributors, and partners creating better technology the open source way."
  •  
    yeah, it is the same with crowdsourcing in general, when some company "managers" see how much cheaper they could do it but don't understand where it comes from...

Prepare and transmit electronic text - American Institute of Physics - 2 views

  •  
    new revTex version available ... what do they mean by this? how do they use XML and latex to XML? would this also be an option for acta futura? "While we appreciate the benefits to authors of preparing manuscripts in TeX, especially for math-intensive manuscripts, it is neither a cost-effective composition tool (for the volume of pages AIP currently produces) nor is it a format that can be used effectively for online publishing."
  •  
    Dunno really, they may have some in-house process that converts LaTeX to XML for some reason. Probably they are using some subset of SGML, the standard generalized markup language from which both HTML and XML derive. Don't think is really relevant for Acta Futura, and the rest of the world seems to get along with TeX just fine...

    Ideed, seems like what we dream for ariadnet... However could have been good to allow the creation of groups. I will try it next week. The possibility to "Explore research trends and statistics" will please Leopold ;)

    I am on mendeley now and I like it so far ! You can check my page on http://www.mendeley.com/profiles/pacome-delva/

    am also on Medelay since some time - think that Tobias has showed it to me. Nice but did not actually use it yet really ....

Physicists Discover a Whopping 13 New Solutions to Three-Body Problem - ScienceNOW - 1 views

  • The discovery of 13 new families, made by physicists Milovan Šuvakov and Veljko Dmitrašinović at the University of Belgrade, brings the new total to 16.
  • All the solutions can be viewed online
  •  
    They search numerically for initial conditions resulting in periodic orbits. Reminds to me the methods we employed for the "search for invariant relative motion" and which brought us to discover the magic inclinations (47.9 degrees). I wonder what are the implications. In any case nice plots :)
  •  
    Haven't read in detail, but it's not clear to me what it means exactly. If they were discovered numerically (I assume it means via numerical integration), how can they be sure the orbits are truly periodic?

LeopoldS and Joris _ liked it

    "Robohub is an online platform that brings together leading communicators in robotics research, start-ups, business, and education from around the world." What is nice about robohub is that they generally give a look behind the scenes of interesting robotic studies.
  •  
    This is currently a very trendy subject in navigation, indeed. In your case, how exactly do you resolve the ambiguity? why only one 2D marker? what would be the conclusion exactly?
  •  
    "leading communicators", love it!

Pouring Milk All Over Yourself: The Next Extremely Bizarre Trend? - 1 views

  •  
    So... who is in?
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    I thought you were supposed to do this with petrol... |:-[ It's by the way cool to see how the milk seems to flow very differently from what one might expect from water: it seems to flow in a few thick streams instead of wetting the whole person... Since the surface tension of milk seems to be lower than that of water (http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract;jsessionid=908B02C3825E97162B9D60DA615EAC96.journals?fromPage=online&aid=5146540) this is surprising. It might very well be an effect of the colloidal nature of milk as it is water in which semi-solid fat particles are suspended. So like the cornstarch mix that we have seen in the office there might be some dynamic jamming going on leading to a higher viscosity (at high shear rates). After all they might be doing science...
  •  
    nice comment Johannes ... if you add a bit of Kleopatre, e.g. why bathing in milk helped her fool Marcus Antonius, your comment would be fully interdisciplinary :-)
  •  
    you mean it would include History or Psychology? I would understand why Marcus Antonius might get fooled by a bathing beauty - but milk? DONKEY MILK?!? That's just wrong... :-[

    Implementation of the deep learning-based image classifier (online). Try making a picture with your phone and upload it there. Pretty impressive results. EDIT: Okay, it works the best with well exposed simple objects (pen, mug).

    haha :) "The psychologist Nick Perham, who studies the effect of sound on how we think, has found that office commotion impairs workers' ability to recall information, and even to do basic arithmetic. Listening to music to block out the office intrusion doesn't help: even that, Perham found, impairs our mental acuity." Actually, I grew up studying my homework in my parents shop downstairs. No noise whatsoever drives me insane :)
