O'Reilly Open Books Project. O'Reilly has published a number of Open Books--books with various forms of "open" copyright--over the years. The reasons for "opening" copyright, as well as the specific license agreements under which they are opened, are as varied as our authors. Perhaps a book was outdated enough to be put out of print, yet some people still needed the information it covered.

Or the author or subject of a book felt strongly that it should be published under a particular open copyright. Maybe the book was written collectively by a particular community, as in the case of our Community Press books. But there's more to making Open Books available online than simply adopting an open license or giving up rights granted under copyright law. We're happy to have partnered with two innovative nonprofits, Creative Commons and the Internet Archive, to solve the licensing and digitizing challenges involved in bringing Open Books to readers.

In Sunday’s New York Times Book Review, Steven Pinker responds to my description of him as occupying the “lonely ice floe of IQ fundamentalism”: What Malcolm Gladwell calls a “lonely ice floe” is what psychologists call “the mainstream.” In a 1997 editorial in the journal Intelligence, 52 signatories wrote, “I.Q. is strongly related, probably more so than any other single measurable human trait, to many important educational, occupational, economic and social outcomes.”

Similar conclusions were affirmed in a unanimous blue-ribbon report by the American Psychological Association. . . A few things here are worth mentioning: First, the editorial in question made a number of other arguments that, I think, most observers would agree fall on one end of the nature-nurture continuum: that all IQ tests measure the same thing, that heredity is more important than environment in determining it, that group differences are relatively unaffected by schooling or socioeconomic factors.

Spotify is a music streaming service that it is likely to become highly popular soon. Spotify offers you legal and free access to a huge library of music.

New data, but nothing really new as far as the Spotify payout rates are concerned. The rate per stream is steady, about $0.005. My royalty statements show $0.0054 in July, $0.0054 in August and $0.0052 in September. But I do have some interesting extras. Every stream over 30 seconds gets paid in full My previous test was rather sloppy. Rates of Spotify competitors My statement shows a few rates (in Euros) from other services. The king of streams, YouTube pays just 1/10 of the Spotify rate. The label Club AC30 was kind enough to let me have a look at their Spotify and Deezer statements.

To give you a rough example, a simplified calculation: Revenue September: 30 million dollar.70% for royalties: 21 million dollar.Number of streams in September: 500 million. September payout per stream: $21m/500m = $0.0042 The agreement between Zimbalam and Deezer has a more complicated system of rates. I have to add that the tiers could be incorrect, it’s still an educated guess. I can only guess why. Human World. Human World The women of the Tiwi tribe in the South Pacific are married at birth.

Some paradoxes - an anthology. How to do Mixing in Key Video. Alright folks, if you are DJ and you will have to beat mix, there are tow things you have to take into consideration. Firstly, beat being your appropriate word here as in beat, beat per minute. What is beats per minute? Well, basically, if you will listen to any track that has some sort of beat in there, you can hear a drum or something, then if you are actually counting those beats in a minute, you will get the BPM, beats per minute.

I say for example you got 2 tracks. That is why a lot of people say, I got in beat but it seems to go off. Now, the other thing you have to consider is something called the key of the tone, the fill of the track. Now, you can also get that from it as well. Advanced Vinyl Handling, DJ Basics. Introduction "What is DJ-ing anyway ? " I'll start by saying it is not just chaining tracks together into one long continuous piece of music. How you mix your records, which records you mix and even the order in which you mix them can make or break an atmosphere. A DJ is a musician who is using music to make music. Still, this does not do credit to the most important thing about DJ-ing. "What and who are these pages intended for ? " The above mentioned "magic" does not let itself to be captured in words, let alone the way to do it. Anyone who starts out with DJ-ing can use these basics to get started, since it is useless to re-invent the wheel so to speak.

So this is BY NO MEANS a definitive absolute DJ bible. "Why did you create these pages ? " ... These pages will show you some of the ways to play this interesting "instrument", but they can not tell how to become perfect at it. Awesome Elderly Dancing Man is Today's BIG Thing in Funny Videos.

Right, guys?) Related: Why-fi. What’s the Average StumbleUpon User Like? So far this site has received 89,309 visitors from Stumbleupon. This is a pretty big sample that enables me to find some commonalities among users and broadly profile the average StumbleUpon user. I’ve used Google Analytics as my tool of choice for getting the data. Where are StumbleUpon users from? StumbleUpon has more international audience compared to sites like Digg (where 90%+ of people are from Northern America.) It’s different for Stumbleupon: For Americas, most of them are from US. I didn’t expect Northern Europe will be that high on the list. What browser do Stumbleupon users use? The data gives a clear picture: Internet Explorer = a miserable failure here. Do Stumblers use the latest Flash version? Yes. Oh well, not really. What operating system do Stumbleupon users have?

The surprising part to me is about mobile. Stumbleupon + Safari on the Mac? Uh, Safari = miserable failure (with IE.) Are most Stumblers using widescreen monitors? How old are Stumbleupon users?

Yet, with tools, "the granite mountain melts into light dust before him, seas are his smooth highway, winds and fire his un­wearying steeds. " And this from a guy who never felt a 5800-rpm circular saw scream to life in his hand. While much has changed since Carlyle's day, one thing hasn't: We need tools to build, repair and maintain the mechanical world in which we live.

Stylish and easy to make bookshelf. I'm quite happy with that fact that the first piece of furniture I built is a bookshelf. I wanted to make something large enough to keep all my books, and stylish at the same time. I like somewhat futuristic and organic designs with plenty curved lines, and you can see that in this shelf. Generally the aim was to make it look as if it was a part of the wall, or came out of the wall. It's really a relatively easy project, not much work is needed, although some precision will be useful. Materials: - Wood - 3 boards 2700x120x18 - 2 or more MDF boards 2700x1400x18 - 3 long screws with studs - Paint and varnish Tools: - Jigsaw - Drill The single downside of this design is that you won't be able to move the shelf elsewhere easily - it will be screwed to the wall.
