"If you’re mining for potential buyers of purses and it costs a dollar to send a catalog, your algorithm might be reliable if its false-positive rate is 95%. If you’re mining for potential terrorists, the expense of getting it wrong is much higher”—in wasted investigation time and expense, and in potential civil-liberties violations."

"In the last year alone, the [Urban Dictionary] Web site was used by courts to define iron (“handgun”); catfishing (“the phenomenon of Internet predators that fabricate online identities”); dap (“the knocking of fists together as a greeting, or form of respect”); and grenade (“the solitary ugly girl always found with a group of hotties”)."

To be an active Yahoo! user again
It’s been more than seven years since I was an active Yahoo! user (excusing my sporadic use of flickr in recent years). Of course, those were the days when everybody was using Yahoo Messenger as the main IM client and Gmail was still in a nascent stage. With Tumblr, those days are, kind of, back again. A set of links worth looking at for Yahoo-Tumblr deal:
- Obviously, there are challenges and opportunities
- And as some argue, the deal does makes sense
- Tumblr can keep its loyal users and act as reverse mentor to Yahoo!
- David Karp promises he won’t turn “purple” any time soon
- Of course, some Tumblr users don’t think so
- Tumblr in numbers
- The tax hit of the acquisition

So great: If Stanley Kubrick had directed Game of Thrones and Saul Bass had designed the poster.
Pair with the legacy in film and design Saul Bass did leave.
