@GlennF: Is iOS 6 Maps’ abstraction (it removes lots of details at high zoom out) making it seem like details _don’t_ exist?
Because many “wrong” maps I see to show a lack of detail compared to Google can be zoomed in slightly to get wealth of info.
@GlennF I am (perhaps wrongly) default assuming that 90% of Maps criticism is PEBiPAC, especially tech journalism.
@glennf Especially misunderstanding that OpenStreetMaps already has crowdsourced correction mechanism and updates *very* quickly.
10.8.2; Mail 6.1: just confirmed that Mail.app is sending email from the wrong account. Anyone else?
@mclow: @jeffporten Is it sending from the wrong account when you’ve explicitly chosen, or just choosing the wrong account by default?
@mclow Explicitly chosen. Sent from the default account instead.
@jeffporten Then I don’t know. I haven’t seen that behavior.
@mclow I’d be happy to hear your default fix, in case that helps.
Confused. I thought adding Facebook to 10.8.2 accounts would add Facebook notifications to Notification Center?
Hearing Bill Clinton mentioned regularly as “Barack Obama’s best surrogate” is giving me queasy mental images.
@Afilreis: Amusing myself with the mental image of you lecturing to a full Franklin Field as your classroom.
That wd be about the #. You in? RT @jeffporten @Afilreis Amusing myself w/ the image you lecturing to full Franklin Field as your classroom.
@Afilreis Have to skip this round, I’m taking online CompSci classes. But would love to join you later.
@Afilreis Yes, I don’t think 30,000 would fit in a classroom.
Twitter poll: experimenting with cross-posting my Twitter discussions to my blog. This is kosher, yes? @glennf?
@glennf: The government is too big. It is too invasive. I don’t blame Dems alone for that (Republicans expand both scope and intrusiveness more.)
@GlennF I agree with “invasive”, but “too small/big” doesn’t make sense without definition of terms.
@jeffporten The amount of money spent for return is too large. So.
@GlennF Collectively, sure. But some programs, like health care, are bargain over NGO options.
@jeffporten Right: those are efficient. But subsidies, military, etc., don’t offer good social return or infrastructure return.
@jeffporten Meanwhile, we don’t repay enough bridges, etc.
@jeffporten Air travel is a great example. Heavily subsidized in myriad ways relative to value.
@GlennF Yeah, I’d be hard-pressed to calculate “military” ROI. But if superpower status helps make dollar reserve currency? Maybe worth it.
@jeffporten No, I mean the stupid projects that get billions even when congress agrees they won’t work.
@jeffporten I mean, there’s efficiency and whatever, but the amount of public and black budget money spent on bullshit is very high.
@GlennF Sure. Would love a “did that work” means test. But GOP would prob apply to all R&D and basic science.
If IFTTT hasn’t figured out their cashflow plan, I’d sign up for a Pro account with instant triggers… well, instantly.
GODDAMN YES!
at least $50/year, maybe a $100 with instant rules. I’d like to tag some rules as instant others not.
also would pay for if this then that and also that.
@kvanh I’d prefer annual to monthly. Your if-then structure appeals to me.
Pretty sure that last night, one of my dreams actually stuttered, hung, and then kernel panicked to consciousness.
Under new API rules, will “Link in favorited tweet –> Instapaper” still work?
Clarifying: under new API rules, will IFTTT still be able to parse for URLs to send to Instapaper? Not pulling whole tweet.
@Total_Rewards Less than pleased that the Showboat website advertises the 10 base pt buffet promo, which expired in Feb.
@robpegoraro lines just got much shorter.
@robpegoraro I was impressed by how they scattered around the cookies and coffee so you had to see more booths.
@joekissell Note to self: Joe prefers Canadian thick-sliced sake.
Hungry, comfy chair, kitchen over eight feet away. Sudo someone email me a sandwich.
@jperlow @jsnell @harrymccracken But longer content could dl-in-advance (at first), where the issue isn’t bandwidth but monthly data caps.
@jperlow @jsnell @harrymccracken no argument that crappy US Internet has to improve, for many reasons.
@mcelhearn Start spreading the s. I’m leaving today. I’ll make a brand start of it in old York. #SongsEditedForKirk
@GlennF @jcenters @jsnell @meharris I can’t see that brand without thinking of the Milla Jovavich movie (whose name I just looked up).
@ryankelly That was actually shown in one of my Penn classes. Thought it was amazing. (Also the reason why I saw “A Man Called Horse.”)
@rgriff I think Apache now defaults to “on”, on the theory that nontechnical users don’t care whether there’s a live server w/no pages.
@rgriff yeah, meant to add: if you upgrade, it retains the prior setting.
@GlennF @wynkenhimself Not 100% sure, but I think Ben himself referred to it as Poor Richard’s in his Autobiography.
