  • Why Do People Say "Happy Martin Luther King Day!"? 16 January, 2012, 8:20 am
    “Happy” Martin Luther King Day? Is this what we are supposed to be saying now? Not that it’s supposed to be a particularly sad national holiday or anything. But it’s just that, in all my years of being black, never has anybody pulled me aside to wish me, personally, a “Happy Martin Luther King Day.” It’s just not something you’re supposed to say, is it? Because it’s the same thing as pulling me aside to be like, “Whew, thank goodness you people finally got the right to vote!” Or maybe, “Hey, that whole segregation thing was kind of balls, huh? Good thing we nipped that

  • AMA Request: The guy who was photographed smiling awkwardly with 900+ celebrities 16 January, 2012, 9:30 am
    Original post is here if you didn't see it on the front page. I figure, this guy must have some stories. You don't interact with that many famous people without coming away from it with an anecdote or two. Possible questions include... How on earth did the whole "awkward smile with celebrities" thing get started? Of the celebrities you met, who made the biggest impression on you? Is Megan Fox actually that hot in person? Where does it end? When you eventually run out of easily recognize-able celebrities? Was Robin Williams as baked as he looks in that photo? And so on. I'm hoping that the OP can make it happen. submitted by N00t to IAmA [link] [192 comments]
  • I'm a camera man, who used to film the Jersey Shore. 16 January, 2012, 9:03 am
    Hi reddit. My good friend Thomas, or "fenqu" as he is known as here, told me i should make an "AMA"? So he taught me the basics of reddit, but i'm still a little confused. Sorry if i make any mistakes. So: I used to film MTV's Jersey Shore. I was a camera-man. I filmed season 1 and 3, and i might get hired for season 7 as well. I'm not really gonna give that much detail, since that is what the questions are for. Lets just fire up for the questions eh? EDIT: Alot of people are calling Bullshit on me, also saying the show is scripted and fake. I really can't talk about this intelligently, but when i filmed, in the house, in season 1-3, it was real. Nothing was scripted, nor re-shot. Maybe they did something when at bars, or when they went tanning etc. I can't say. submitted by jerseyshorethrowaway to IAmA [link] [774 comments]

  • Predicting Life 100 Years From Now 16 January, 2012, 12:24 pm
    New submitter Simon321 writes "BBC News has an interesting article about the top predictions for life 100 years from now. The highlights include extensive farming of the ocean, wiring all sorts of computers to our brains, space elevators, and the break-up of the United States. 'There are some indications already that California wants to split off and such pressures tend to build over time. It is hard to see this waiting until the end of the century. Maybe an East Coast cluster will want to break off too. Pressures come from the enormous differences in wealth generation capability, and people not wanting to fund others if they can avoid it.'"

  • Facebook To Share Private Data With Politico 16 January, 2012, 11:39 am
    tomhudson writes "AllThingsDd is reporting that Facebook has agreed to share users' private data with Politico. Quoting: 'Most notably, the Facebook-Politico data set will include Facebook users' private status messages and comments. Every post and comment — both public and private — by a U.S. user that mentions a presidential candidate's name will be fed through a sentiment analysis tool.' Yes, they claim it will be anonymized, but we've seen that doesn't really work in real life." Read more of this story at Slashdot.

    First time accepted submitter twofishy writes "After an undeniably rocky start, which saw high profile resignations from the JCP, including Doug Lea (who remains active in the OpenJDK), and the Apache Software Foundation, Oracle is making significant efforts to re-engage with the wider Java ecosystem, a theme which it talked up at the most recent JavaOne conference. The company is working hard to engage with the Java User Group leaders and Java Champions, membership of the OpenJDK project is growing, and the company is making efforts to reform the Java Community Process to improve transparency. The firm has also published a clear, well-defined Java roadmap toward Java 8 and Java 9." Read more of this story at Slashdot.
  • Putting Medical Records Into Patients' Hands 16 January, 2012, 10:08 am
    Hugh Pickens writes "Roni Caryn Rabin says patients have a legal right to their medical records, though access can prove difficult. But what would happen if patients were encouraged not just to see their medical records but to take them home, study them and really own them? A research collaboration called OpenNotes set out to answer this question, publishing the first results of a study on physician and patient attitudes toward shared medical records and demonstrating that for patients, at least, shared medical records seems to be an idea whose time has come. 'That's the great challenge in medicine: getting patients to be more active in their own care,' says Dr. Tom Delbanco, a principal investigator of the study. 'What we're doing is opening the black box and letting you look inside.' Dr. Delbanco and his colleagues recruited more than 100 primary care doctors who were already using electronic health records to volunteer to share their medical notes with patients. Patients were enthusiastic: 90 percent thought they would be more in control of their care if they saw the notes. They weren't worried about being confused and most said seeing the record would help them take better care of themselves helping them better remember their treatment plan, understand it and take their medication. The goal is to engage patients more fully in their own health. 'Knowledge is power,' says Jan Walker, the study's senior author. 'A patient goes to the doctor only once in a while, but in between visits, you're making all kinds of decisions that affect your health every single day.'" Read more of this story at Slashdot.
  • Radioactive Concrete From Fukushima Found In New Construction 16 January, 2012, 9:24 am
    mdsolar writes "The Japanese government is investigating how radioactive concrete ended up in a new apartment complex in the Fukushima Prefecture, housing evacuees from a town near the crippled nuclear plant. The contamination was first discovered when dosimeter readings of children in the city of Nihonmatsu, roughly 40 miles from the reactors at Fuksuhima Dai-ichi, revealed a high school student had been exposed to 1.62 millisieverts in a span of three months, well above the annual 1 millisievert limit the government has established for safety reasons."

  • Google Patents Caching MLK Day Search Results 16 January, 2012, 8:43 am
    theodp writes "Google remembers Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. not only with its Doodles, but also with its patents. 'Right around the Martin Luther King Holiday,' explained Google in its application for a recently-granted patent on Discovery of Short-Term and Emerging Trends in Computer Network Traffic, 'there may be many searches about "Martin Luther King"...Thus, it would be useful to have better methods of detecting short term trends for the purposes of caching search results to making them more readily available to users.' You may call the invention of detecting and caching 'MLK Day Sale' search results patently obvious, but the USPTO calls it U.S. Patent No. 8,082,342. Hey, at least it's arguably better than the patents issued to Microsoft and Google for avoiding walking or driving down Martin Luther King Boulevard!" Read more of this story at Slashdot.
  • House Kills SOPA 16 January, 2012, 8:00 am

This move was most likely due to the huge online protest and the White House threatening to veto the bill if it had passed. But don't celebrate yet. PIPA(the Senate's version of SOPA) is still up for consideration." Read more of this story at Slashdot.

    I have to say that the JAX-RS API makes it really easy to develop REST services. A reference implementation of this API is Jersey. The cool thing about this implementation is that it plays really well together with the OSGi HttpService and it ships as bundles. In this way we have the option to actively deploy REST services into the HttpService. But is this how we want to publish REST services? To me, it’s not!
