June 15 Hunch - helps you make decisions and gets smarter the more you use it.“ most of us must be very familar with many Q-A services/communities, for example, QnA@microsoft, zhidao@baidu, vark.com, etc. answers@yahoo!, etc. However, most of them are very similar to each other. You could ask a question, subscribe to answers to your questions, you could show you answers to some question, or you could explore some questions that interest you. Here, I would like to introduce hunch.com, a new innovative idea from the co-founder of flickr.com, Caterina. Hunch is a decision making service and community which could help you make decisions or find out the answers to your questions of some topics. It is technically an expert system over crawdsoucing. I think it becomes more and more obvious and important for the emerging services and startups to help people discover and decide on such as what they want, how they could do, why they should do like that... ? Collaborative filtering based recommendation systems, crawdsourcing based expert systems delivers such kinds of services at the first places, even though there is long way to run in the future... There is an article introducing more details about the new startup company and its service "hunch.com" from readwriteweb. Just follow the links below: or the chinese versions:
Take a preview: ![]() Quots: Hunch is still in closed beta, but is accepting requests for invites. We're thinking you will want to sign up, though, after you hear what Caterina says about it:
June 12 传说中的海军陆战队“两栖蛙人”“
海军陆战队的训练,有人称之是“炼狱”,也有人称为“兽营”式训练。两栖蛙人队是海军陆战队的拳头部队,蛙人队员更是海军陆战队员中的“兵中之兵”,军事素质、思想作风、意志品质样样都是一流的,有着军中“神兵”的美誉。练体能,每人一个沙袋,操练绑沙袋、瞄准吊沙袋,一天24小时不离身;每人早晚手拎石砖跑两个5公里;早晚还得完成5个100:100个俯卧撑、100个仰卧起坐、100个马步冲拳、100个倒立、100个收腹。上午4小时环环相扣的基础科目训练:400米障碍、投弹、射击、拼刺刀、军体拳;中午1至2小时的“坐海”曝晒;下午紧接着海上武装泅渡、沙滩擒拿格斗……作为一名蛙人,除了掌握一般军人技能外,还要学会车舟驾驶、陡崖攀登、潜水爆破、地图判位、野外生存等军事科目。正是这“炼狱”与“兽营”般的艰苦磨炼,锻造了蛙人队员的铮铮铁骨。他们个个迎面能避刀,挥臂能断砖,顶头能碎瓶,攀檐能走壁,十八般武艺样样精通。 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() June 01 白领的陨落和黑领的崛起一个朋友推荐的一篇文章,白领的陨落和黑领的崛起, (http://carriecma.blog.esnai.com/archives/2009/104955.html), 虽然此文并非出自郎咸平,这在他的官方博客上得到证实,不过作者的思路还是很独到,语言也很犀利,值得一读;至于观点,各位看官就各自体会去吧 May 31 think by listening: winding down, dead whatever...Most of us are probably interested in listening to success stories around the world. We must have been used to talking about the big successes esp. in the web era, yahoo!, google, youtube, flikr, facebook, linkedin, twitter..., which have beed leading us from one milestone to another, from the early days to even longer. It's actually so appealing that lots of ambitious startups are seeking to win a battle in the web everyday. Successes are always very inspiring and then are followed worldwide. So, how about the failures? How about when you read a title "Vidoop Is Dead, Employees Getting Computers In Lieu Of Wages" and something such as:
"What a pity!", most of us might comment in frustrated and disappointed. Probably it just remains a news or story which just tells another death in the industry, after all, "Success is not surprising, so is death". To be best of all, we could get to understand why it's dead or winding down, which might be a good lesson for us to draw, esp. for those who are also running startups.
There are a bunch of death here: http://www.techcrunch.com/tag/deadpool/. May 26 关于selfdiscipline 刚在译言上看到一篇翻译的文章,自律无用 - 克氏经典解读 (http://www.yeeyan.com/articles/view/85525/41975/dz)。到底人需不需要自律?首先得把自律和遵守规则和纪律区别开来,正如文中所说,这不同于学习钢琴是否需要方法,学习数学需不需要定律和准则,甚至是否要遵循特定环境下的纪律和规定。discipline无处不在,“自律”也是件再普遍不过的事情,这是必要的,俗话讲不以规矩不成方圆,完全可以想象一个没有自律意识的人会是什么样子;我们甚至早已习惯于充当“纪律的奴隶”,我们从小都被灌输了无数的条条框框,他们在长期约束我们思想和行为的同时--不管你乐不乐意--实际上也正慢慢演变成我们进行所谓“自律”的条款。而所谓“自律无用”的观点,说明若行为全由“洞察力”而生,则无所谓“纪律”和“自律”了;这是一个比“自律”更高层次的概念--“自律”当然是最基本的--讲得通俗一点叫“自觉”,“自悟”或者“自省”。有人说成功在于自律,倒不如说成功在于自觉。因为自律说到底还是一种约束,而无论这种用来约束你行为的“美好心理图景”是来自于自己还是他人,长期约束的结果就是他们在“修正”你的行为的同时也极大的限制了你的行为,更坏的情况是你甚至不知道这种约束是什么或者是否合理;不太恰当的比喻,这就像一把枷锁,你并不愿意戴,强迫自己戴上的后果也不过是让自己感到越来越沉重,越来越没有自由,越来越难受,到后来还是不得不解开;所以,有必要将“自律”升级为“自觉”,或者文中所说的“洞察力”;这就是说最好能跳出那些条条框框,洞察自己,思考自己需要做什么,为什么要这么做,如何去实施,以此指导自己的思想和行为,并不断感悟和反省,这样一来你的行为就变得游刃有余,而不是反过来被约束控制。很多时候,当我感到自己想要专注于做某一两件事情的时候总是不断受到来自自己、他人、环境的干扰,精力分散导致自己都不知道到底在干什么的时候,我可能会把自己要做的事情按照优先顺序记在任何方便看到的地方,甚至为了更好的约束自己,我会给自己制定周密的日程表,包括什么时侯睡觉,起床,浏览新闻,做事情,锻炼,休息和娱乐等等,心想着只要严格按照这个执行,准错不了,可是实际情况是,这完全就是一个“混沌系统”,日程表上的任何一点干扰就完全有可能打乱你的全盘计划。所以“自律无用”,最好的办法就是首先承认他然后驾驭他,在看似混乱的日程结构中行云流水般运筹帷幄,这是一个开放自治的系统,而“自律”是一个封闭的混沌系统,任何尝试控制他的努力只会带来无法预料的蝴蝶效应。 "101条伟大的计算机名言" "有幽默的,更有深刻的,有大师说的,也有无名氏所言,有关计算机的方方面面,听起来都有道理。" "人们总是害怕改变。电被发明出来的时候他们害怕电,是不是?他们害怕煤,害怕蒸汽机车。无知无所不在,并导致恐惧。但随着时间推移,人们终究会接受最新的科技。” 正如比尔盖茨曾经警告过一样,计算机已经真正成为我们的最新科技,几乎遍布我们日常生活的每一方面。所以,我们这个时代的某些最伟大的头脑开始思索起计算机和软件对于人类的重要性来了。以下就是101条有关计算机的伟大名言,并且,既然我们这个网站是一个软件开发网站,我们尤其关注编程方面的.
