The Stir: 10 New Reasons You Should Quit Facebook
If you're anything like me, you've uttered the words, "I'm thinking of quitting Facebook" at some point in the last few years. Or, at the very least, you've thought them. But, again, if you're like me, you just can't find the balls to do it. Something holds you back -- be it that you don't want to lose touch with old friends you've reconnected with; you're obsessed with stalking a certain someone; or you just don't want to be the weirdo who hasn't gotten with the times. It's damn near impossible. But you should. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Study: Pinterest drives more referral traffic than Google+, nearly on par with Twitter
Pinterest, the website which lets people collect and share photos online with a “virtual pinboard,” has steadily amassed a very dedicated following of users that spreads far beyond the app-obsessed early adopter crowd. On Tuesday, a new study out of content sharing company Shareaholic showed just how powerful the Palo Alto, California-based startup has become. Shareaholic's survey (click to enlarge) Pinterest is now driving more referral traffic on the web than Google+, YouTube, Reddit, and LinkedIn — combined. In January Pinterest was responsible for 3.6 percent of referrals tracked by Shareaholic, up from 2.5 percent during the previous month. Not surprisingly, Facebook is holding steady at the top of Shareaholic’s survey, as it was responsible for more than a quarter of all referral traffic in January. It’s exciting to see a relative newcomer growing so quickly in the web space.

Comandos adicionales, denominados “sintaxis especiales”, para nuestras búsquedas en Google
Comandos adicionales, denominados “sintaxis especiales”, para nuestras búsquedas en Google Después de varias charlas entre conocidos, familiares y amigos, a lo largo de mi experiencia profesional sobre las búsquedas a través de Internet, me doy cuenta que son pocos quines conocen estos comandos adiciones, también llamados “sintaxis especiales”. Desde hace algún tiempo, Google ha permitido el uso de determinadas comandos que facilitaran nuestras búsquedas, restringiendo esos resultados irrelevantes y obtener aquellos que realmente nos interesan. ¿Cómo funciona Google? Google, como motor de búsqueda de texto completo, incluye en su índice páginas Web completas, en lugar de incluir sólo los títulos y las descripciones. Las opciones Booleanas Esta opción está establecida como predeterminada en Google, siempre que introducimos las palabras busca a lo largo de todo el contenido. Si introducimos las comillas dobles, conseguimos que busque en las páginas que contengan esas palabras juntas.
Cambiar Metrópolis, el hábitat del hombre-masa [para una nueva geografía urbana] « Apunts sobre l'abisme
En el contexto social deslocalizado, el filósofo Emmanuel Levinas habla de la necesidad moral de restituir el valor del otro, de reconocer su rostro y reconocerlo como prójimo, sobre todo después de la hecatombe de la IIGM. Reconocer el rostro del otro no es más que empatizar con su dolor, sus miserias, sus alegrías y sus dudas; es darle una dignidad. Metrópolis, la ciudad alienadora que cosifica el ser humano, genera espacios vacíos donde los rostros quedan desdibujados y nadie se encuentra en el otro. Dondequiera ha surgido el hombre-masa de que este volumen se ocupa, un tipo de hombre hecho de prisa, montado nada más que sobre unas cuantas y pobres abstracciones y que, por lo mismo, es idéntico de un cabo de Europa al otro. El hombre-masa, the average man of today, es el niño sin cara de Pink Floyd: alguien infantilizado que ha renunciado a sus responsabilidades para con el otro. Personalizar las relaciones humanas – es algo que la postmodernidad ha destruido. Me gusta:

I'm about to prove a couple of negatives about Penrose tilings. Recall Donald Rumsfeld proudly and stupidly saying you couldn't prove a negative when it became obvious to everyone the weapons of mass destruction ruse was a complete phony. I had to wonder exactly how many classes he slept through when he got his degree at Princeton. Of course you can prove a negative. Let me give a couple examples. It is impossible to build a larger shape similar to a dart using kites and darts. The dart is the Penrose tile with the dent, and angle of 216°. If we want to build a bigger dart, it will have to have two 36° angles and a 216° angle, but the distance between these will have to be at least the length of long. We can't do this with these pieces, or if we achieve this, we will not have a long enough straight line to make the outside of the dart. This proof takes no math skills really. It is impossible to build a shape similar to a kite bigger than Papa Kite. Notice this. I'm just sayin'.
