He posts these things all the time for some reason, all to the same website. People have asked before how it has anything to do with "hackers" and to my knowledge there haven't been any responses from the OP.
I post them up because, I think its good content and people here seem to appreciate it. I think its because hackers also appreciate art, and looking at these pics for 5 mins, simply just rests your eyes for bit.
Same reason why I post up slides, kinda changing the format a bit.
Yeh, to be clear I actually enjoy the art in some of the posts you've made, but I share the same wonder as the original commenter as to what "artsy hack" means, really.
Honestly, I just thought it sounded original ;) You know, Hacks that are Artsy! I think Artists are also geeks, and creating some of those amazing art pieces is a hack!
I guess Its just an idea I had. Again, its meant to be something entertaining for peeps here. Every now and then I write posts myself, but I prefer to showcase nice finds out on the internet, specially ones that may be worth looking at.
Some 'hackers' don't go out to the art/design world, so I may as well bring some of that world to them, at least the stuff that is interesting.
Just last week I found a research paper I published while at Cornell on Scribd -- no attribution at all, no permissions, etc. It's a paper that in normal circulation costs $50 to purchase (and has been purchased a few thousand times -- whether $50 is reasonable or not is a discussion for another thread, of course).
I considered letting my editor know about it to see if she wanted me to request it be taken down, but then I figured I'd rather more people see the paper anyway so left it alone.
I really connected to this piece a lot: I'm in my 20s, in NYC for the first time, grew up in the South, and am completely infatuated with this place for some unable-to-be-explained reason.
I suppose that a lot of us who have been very young in New
York have the same scenes in our home screens. I remember
sitting in a lot of apartments with a slight headache about
five o’clock in the morning. I had a friend who could not
sleep...
It's so easy to fall in love with this city but so hard to describe the reason why. She did a great job.
It's Art Williams (inspirational speaker guy) who mentions he doesn't think "smart" people are likely to "succeed" in business, because they try to figure things out too much. Instead, he preaches (almost literally) a "just do it" mentality.
You really need to provide much more detail about the type of site you're running, how/if it makes money, whether you're comfortable working as a contractor for the larger company, etc.
Also, know that traffic milestones are way too easily taken advantage of (inflation and deflation of numbers is very simple in practice) -- I would suggest coming up with another way of tracking your growth than by pageviews.
[✓] Enable instant personalisation on partner websites.
Note: instant personalisation is not yet available for you.
The tick is greyed out, so I guess it's not yet active. But I have no way of telling when it will become active, and no way of disabling it preemptively. Another reason to only log onto facebook in incognito/privacy mode.
I've done that, but I was remembering some posts (e.g. http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/04/how-opt-out-facebook-s-...) that claimed that was insufficient. It seems it depends on how much you want to block; even if you opt out of instant personalization, the API will still let apps slurp some data through your friends (though not data deemed private), unless you've also explicitly blocked that app. The main thing missing seems to be a way to block all apps except a whitelisted set. You can blacklist apps, or you can opt out of apps entirely (there's a setting to turn off app access completely), but you can't block-by-default and then whitelist.
Hey there. I'm Austin Haugen, a product manager on the Facebook platform team. If you opt out of Instant Personalization by following the steps above, you will never receive an instantly personalized experience on these sites and we also block the sites for you, so when your friends arrive your information will not be accessible. This was a change we made in May based on user feedback.
