* Cameron says drive to complete global trade pact has failed
* UK leader urges EU to wrap up talks on bilateral trade pacts
* Says "coalition of the willing" could go it alone on trade
By Adrian Croft and Emma Thomasson
LONDON/DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan 26 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister David Cameron called on Thursday for Europe to bypass the Doha talks on a world free trade deal in favour of seeking separate agreements with the United States, Africa and other willing parties.
Cameron's comments at the World Economic Forum in Davos break with the orthodox position of most world leaders who have for years called for a final push to conclude the complex trade negotiations, which were launched in the Qatari capital Doha in 2001.
But they also reflect a growing recognition among European officials that the talks have stalled for the foreseeable future because of sticking points over proposals to cut tariffs and subsidies on goods ranging from food to chemicals.
Instead of trying to get every country to agree, Cameron said the 27-nation EU should push forward with bilateral deals. He suggested a "coalition of the willing" -- countries that wanted to do an ambitious trade deal -- could forge ahead alone.
"Last year, at this very forum, world leaders called for an all-out effort to conclude the Doha round in 2011. We said it was the make-or-break year. It was. And we have to be frank about it. It didn't work," Cameron said.
"But let's not give up on free trade. Let's step forward with a new and ambitious set of ideas to take trade forwards."
Leaders called for a new push on Doha after the 2008 financial crash, concerned that countries would be tempted to close off their economies to protect key sectors buffeted by the global turmoil.
Cameron's impatience reflects Britain and Europe's need to seek growth in foreign markets to offset the impact of budget cuts which have driven their economies to the brink of recession at the start of 2012. Data on Wednesday showed Britain's shrank 0.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel told Davos on Wednesday that one of the pessimistic signs of the last year was the failure to conclude the Doha talks and signs of a return of protectionism.
"Because we are having such a hard time making progress with the Doha round, the EU (is) working on bilateral trade agreements with (South) Korea, which has been concluded, and working on one with Japan," she said.
"With the United States, we have a lot of possibility to achieve a free trade zone."
A joint letter by the French and German finance ministers preparing for next Monday's EU summit, seen by Reuters, calls for the negotiation of a U.S.-European free trade agreement covering a wide range of goods, services and trade facilitation.
In an interview with Reuters, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk did not declare the Doha round of trade talks failed, but acknowledged "we're going through a re-imagining process."
Kirk, while not commenting directly on Cameron's speech, said it had proven frustrating to reach consensus in the 153-member World Trade Organization, and suggested that Washington, like London, will seek regional and bilateral deals.
"I agree that it's time for some creativity and fresh thinking," he said. " I would add a little bit of a caveat ... there is also a collective sense that we not abandon the developmental mission of Doha."
The United States is negotiating a trade deal known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership with eight other Pacific countries; others such as Canada and Japan have expressed interest in joining the talks.
The trend is "a reflection of the frustration over how long it takes to get consensus over 153 members," Kirk said. "We should not constrain ourselves and say that that can only happen in one venue, in one fora, in Geneva."
European exporters are benefitting from a 20-30 percent fall in the value of the pound and the euro against the dollar over the past three years which should make their companies more competitive overseas.
But the efforts of big emerging economies like China and Brazil to hold down the value of their own currencies reflects the risk of a new era of protectionism, which economists warn could cripple efforts to put world growth back on its feet.
"The worst thing that could happen now, the only catastrophe that hasn't taken place is...protectionism," said Pascal Lamy, who overseas the Doha talks as head of the World Trade Organisation.
"In such a time of economic crisis protectionist pressures are inevitably growing and we as the WTO have a tough job pushing back and making sure that we do no harm," he said.
The Doha talks were intended to help poor countries prosper through trade and boost the world economy by hundreds of billions of dollars. Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz warned individual deals carried more risks for developing economies.
"These bilateral deals undermine the multilateral system and distort global economic efficiency. They tend to be more unfair because the bargaining is more unbalanced," he said. "Many of them go well beyond trade to investment and intellectual property which tend to be very bad for developing economies."
Cameron urged the European Union to wrap up talks on free trade agreements with India, Canada and Singapore by the end of this year. "Completing these could add 90 billion euros ($117 billion) to EU gross domestic product," he said.
"Let's also look at options for agreement between the EU and the U.S., where a deal could have a bigger impact than all of the other agreements put together."
Negotiating a U.S.-EU free trade agreement is a long-held British dream. The then EU Trade Commissioner Leon Brittan, now a trade adviser to Cameron, suggested a similar idea in 1998 but it was shot down by France, which feared the European Union could be forced into concessions on farm trade.
Another former EU trade commissioner Peter Mandelson said that the United States and other key nations were not prepared to do the "heavy lifting" needed to secure a Doha deal, and warned that barriers to a separate EU-U.S. deal remained high.
"My worry about the new proposal to launch a EU-U.S. trade agreement is that it will take years and expend a great deal of energy on what I fear will be a futile attempt to get Europe and the United States to adopt each others' regulatory practices, technical standards and the rest," he told Reuters.
"That's not going to happen."

Lise Hand: Sorry seems to be hardest word -- but Eamon won't change tune
THE words may change slightly, but the song remains the same. It's become a familiar duet in the Dail chamber these days, sung in disharmony by Brian Cowen and Eamon Gilmore and titled 'Politics Means Never Having to Say You're Sorry'.
And the duet, which was reprised during Leaders' Questions in the Dail yesterday, generally goes like this: first Eamon chants aloud the mantra of how Brian -- as finance minister and Taoiseach -- failed to heed the warning sirens blaring from outside parties about how the financial doodlebugs were plummeting toward Ireland.
"In August 2003, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned that Irish house prices were overvalued. In September 2004, the IMF again warned of the potential for what it called a 'disorderly correction'.

If you remove a tree after a hurricane,
plant another one in its place.
This is your last chance to be sure you have selected the right tree for the right place.
If there is a wire, security light, or building nearby:
Measure the distance between the top most root and the bottom of the root ball.
Dig the hole to about 90 to 95% of this depth.
Remove excess soil
Good-quality root ball
Poor quality root ball
Three inches of soil and media were removed from the top of this ball.
Trees with circling root defects are often found leaning or fallen after a storm.

Establishment period: the time it takes for a tree to regenerate enough roots to stay alive without irrigation. In dry climates (western US), many trees will need supplemental irrigation well past the establishment period.
- 2 – 3 times weekly until established
- 2 gallons per inch trunk caliper on root ball
- Control weeds
- Increase mulch diameter over time to keep pace with root growth
Results show that volume did not matter but frequency did.

[Deadline] - Anyone here have experience with visible tile seams?
I'm having an issue with Deadline v7 (Thinkbox) running Maya/Vray.
When I region render, the tile seams are visible at times. Missing assets are not involved in this. The issue only occurs when region rendering with multiple slaves.
Has anyone here, with Deadline experience, ever had this issue happen to them consistently over multiple scenes? I've submitted a ticket with Thinkbox, but I'd wanted to ask here to see if maybe one of you have been in this position before.
As I've said, this issue has nothing to do with missing assets, maps, textures, but has something to do with Deadline (I believe).

This looks a bit like a problem I used to have/ when I was rendering regions in vray I used to get a different result (usually darker I think) than when doing the entire image. My solution to that problem was to never region render again :-)
But I have no idea what deadline is

well that sucks to hear. This might be a Vray problem after all then..
Deadline is created by Thinkbox and is a render job management system.
What it's doing is cutting up my render area into tiles, sending each tile to any given slave for rendering. Upon completion, that slave return the tile to the workstation. After all tiles are done rendering they are assembled by Deadline.
So, in essence it's a bunch of region renders I suppose to Vray. Your comment actually helped me out considerably since I really didn't even know what to research. I'm going to look into this problem with darker edges with region rendering.
Weird thing is that I've never had an issue region rendering with Vray/Maya, but then I've never ran through Deadline before.
Thanks much.
@Marko - good call on the screen grabs.

Well joelr. You were one helpful guy today. Got me thinking a bit differently with the render regions so I did a GI test and guess what....
GI on / GI off
Still have no clue how the f*ck to address this, but at least I know what the problem is now.

Personally that is something I would bother fixing in post(After Effects or photoshop) rather than in max/maya
and it looks like some kind of artifacts because of the graphics engine not taking into consideration the whole scene in the illumination calculations while rendering an specific part of the scene.
maybe, just maybe, try scaling everything down and zooming in?

And that's the dilemma... I do about 2 thousand of these renders annually (on top of animations and other administrative work/IT support).
Fixing this issue manually 2k times over a year isn't an option.

which version of deadline do you have?
7.2 has an option to do jigsaw regions, that might force the engine to take more of the scene in consideration for the illumination.

I'm running the latest version of Deadline.
I've attempted both tests with tile rendering and jigsaw with the same results...
That being said, I'm currently rendering tests actually using the padding which I think is going to do the trick. I'm also going to be chatting the Deadline support to see if there is a way to calculate the GI on one machine and distribute it to the others (so they all have the same GI).

Take it it's not an issue with GI files being accessible?
Have you tried a render test just using vray without deadline?
Could also be plugin related, any plugin that is contributing to the material and not present on the slaves
read 635 times
2/6/2016 9:32:20 PM (last edit: 2/6/2016 9:34:38 PM)
GI files are accessible since each slave is rendering it's own GI which is the problem. Vray DR works fine, but the GI is being rendered on a single machine. Eliminating the issue.
My padding tests are almost done rendering. Will let you guys know what results they yield.

One of these has "padding" turned off and the other set with a value of 50... I'll let you guess which one because I sure as shit can't tell the difference.
Attempting Brute Force/Brute Force solution to see if that changes anything. I've been using BF/LC for my last few tests. I'll get to the bottom of this and spam this thread with troubleshooting attempts until I figure this out.

so, what resolution are you rendering these at? the reason i ask, i assume they are larger than 4k or something, since u are breaking them up with deadline (opposed to just rendering them on 1 machine)
this most definitely resembles what happens in vray when you are to "region" render a section of an image multiple times
for instance, im
this wouldn't happen (i dont think this would happen) if you were to just render the image as is (ie, on a single machine in 1 pass). which brings me back to my original question..
your solution may involve baking gi maps?

2/7/2016 4:22:53 AM (last edit: 2/7/2016 4:27:52 AM)
@Digs- Yes, baking GIs would be a potential solution. I'm rendering these at 3500x3500 which is a standard catalog render for us.
Our render farm is sort of crap-tastic. I'm glad we have one, but it consists of 5 machines at the moment. 3 of them with some decent xeons (16 cores total) and 2 of them with 8 cores. I want to be able to use all of them on one job as I don't want the 8 core shits to get hung up and take years to kick out a render.
I'm going to try to avoid baking GIs though as it would be an extra strep in the process. Trying to make this as efficient as possible. Monday I'll talk with Thinkbox/Deadline tech support and see if they can come up with a solution (I'm sure there is a solution for this).
As of now, I'll be using Brute Force/Brute Force as those renders turn out great.
Fill you guys on in on Monday if I hear from Deadline support.

We have no difficulty seeing a straight line drawn on a paper even when the paper is bent, but this inference is in fact nontrivial. Doing so requires either matching of local features or representing the pattern after factoring out the surface shape. Here we show that single neurons in the monkey inferior temporal cortex show invariant responses to patterns across rigid and non-rigid changes of surfaces. We recorded neuronal responses to stimuli in which the pattern and the surrounding surface were varied independently. In a subset of neurons, we found pattern-surface interactions that produced similar responses to stimuli across congruent pattern & surface transformations. These interactions produced systematic shifts in curvature tuning of patterns when overlaid on convex and flat surfaces. Our results show that surfaces are factored out of patterns by single neurons, thereby enabling complex perceptual inferences.

The Real Rumpelstiltskin

The Real Rumpelstiltskin
Nate Weil
Once there was a boy named Trufflefairskin. He was the local prince charming, and everyone admired him. One day, an old man came to town and asked him for some food and shelter for the night. Laughing at the man, he denied him both. But then the man cast off his ragged cloak, revealing himself to be a wizard. He cursed Trufflefairskin, making him short and ugly with a hunched back. Finally, the wizard changed his name to Rumpelstiltskin. With that, he vanished in a puff of smoke.
No one except his mother believed that he was the same person, now he was just a nobody that could be laughed at. No one liked him anymore, and his life became unbearable.
Finally, he decided to move away. Leaving a note to his mother, he left with only the clothes on his back to start a fresh life in another kingdom. He lived off of the odd job, sleeping under the stars at night. He was starting to enjoy life again.
One morning, he awoke to the sound of royal trumpets, announcing the royal carriage. As the countless royal horses bearing members of the royal court passed, Rumpelstiltskin saw a chance to change his life. As the carriage itself approached, he jumped in front of it. The driver slammed on the brakes, and the horses screeched to the halt.
As the dust settled a royal boot stepped onto the ground, followed by the other. And there before him stood King Midas.
Boldly Rumpelstiltskin walked up to the king and said, "Your majesty, I am a poor traveller seeking a secure life. Might I become a page in your court?" The king liked him instantly, and granted him the honor of serving him.
Over the years, Rumpelstiltskin became the King's closest friend and advisor. Then, one day, King Midas became very sick. The doctors said he only had not long to live. On his deathbed, the king called Rumpelstiltskin to his side, and shared his greatest secret; how to turn objects into gold. Then, he died. In his grief and rage, Rumpelstiltskin travelled back to his old village. There he turned everyone but his mother into gold.
After calming down, he thought things through. King Midas and his mother were the only two people in the world who accepted him for who he was. Thought he longed to start a family, he knew no one would marry him. So he decided instead to move to a new town with his mother.
Life in their new home was good. He stayed out of sight, and no one knew that someone aside from his mother lived in their home. But then, one day, he read something in the local newspaper which gave him an idea.
There was a miller who was poor, but who had a beautiful daughter. Now it happened that he had to go and speak to the King.
In order to make himself appear important he said to him, "I have a daughter who can spin straw into gold."
The King said to the miller, "That is an art which pleases me well; if your daughter is as clever as you say, bring her to-morrow to my palace, and I will try what she can do."
And when the girl was brought to him he took her into a room which was quite full of straw, gave her a spinning-wheel and a reel, and said, "Now set to work, and if by to-morrow morning early you have not spun this straw into gold during the night, you must die." Thereupon he himself locked up the room, and left her in it alone. So there sat the poor miller's daughter, and for her life could not tell what to do; she had no idea how straw could be spun into gold, and she grew more and more miserable, until at last she began to weep.
But all at once the door opened, and in came a little man, and said, "Good evening, Mistress Miller; why are you crying so?"
"Alas!" answered the girl, "I have to spin straw into gold, and I do not know how to do it."
"What will you give me," said the manikin, "if I do it for you?"
"My necklace," said the girl. The little man took the necklace, walked up to the haystack, and touched it. By day-break the King was already there, and when he saw the gold he was astonished and delighted, but his heart became only more greedy. He had the miller's daughter taken into another room full of straw, which was much larger, and commanded her to spin that also in one night if she valued her life. The girl knew not how to help herself, and was crying, when the door again opened, and the little man appeared, and said,
"What will you give me if I spin the straw into gold for you?"
"The ring on my finger," answered the girl. The little man took the ring, again touched the hay, and by morning had turned all the straw into glittering gold.
The King rejoiced beyond measure at the sight, but still he had not gold enough; and he had the miller's daughter taken into a still larger room full of straw, and said, "You must spin this, too, in the course of this night; but if you succeed, you shall be my wife." "Even if she be a miller's daughter," thought he, "I could not find a richer wife in the whole world."
When the girl was alone the manikin came again for the third time, and said, "What will you give me if I spin the straw for you this time also?"
"I have nothing left that I could give," answered the girl.
"Then promise me, if you should become Queen, your first child."
"Who knows whether that will ever happen?" thought the miller's daughter; and, not knowing how else to help herself in this strait, she promised the manikin what he wanted, and for that he once more turned the straw to gold.
And when the King came in the morning, and found all as he had wished, he took her in marriage, and the pretty miller's daughter became a Queen.
A year after, she had a beautiful child, and she never gave a thought to the manikin. But suddenly he came into her room, and said, "Now give me what you promised." The Queen was horrorstruck, and offered the manikin all the riches of the kingdom if he would leave her the child. But the manikin said, "No, something that is living is dearer to me than all the treasures in the world." Then the Queen began to weep and cry, so that the manikin pitied her. "I will give you three days' time," said he; "if by that time you find out my name, then shall you keep your child."
So the Queen thought the whole night of all the names that she had ever heard, and she sent a messenger over the country to inquire, far and wide, for any other names that there might be. When the manikin came the next day, she began with Caspar, Melchior, Balthazar, and said all the names she knew, one after another; but to every one the little man said, "That is not my name." On the second day she had inquiries made in the neighbourhood as to the names of the people there, and she repeated to the manikin the most uncommon and curious. "Perhaps your name is Shortribs, or Sheepshanks, or Laceleg?"
But he always answered, "That is not my name."
On the third day the messenger came back again, and said, "I have not been able to find a single new name, but as I came to a high mountain at the end of the forest, where the fox and the hare bid each other good night, there I saw a little house, and before the house a fire was burning, and round about the fire quite a ridiculous little man was jumping: he hopped upon one leg, and shouted -
"'To-day I bake, to-morrow brew, The next I'll have the young Queen's child. Ha! glad am I that no one knew That Rumpelstiltskin I am styled."
You may think how glad the Queen was when she heard the name! And when soon afterwards the little man came in, and asked, "Now Mistress Queen, what is my name?"
At first she said, "Is your name Conrad?"
"Is your name Harry?"
"Perhaps your name is Rumpelstiltskin?"
"The devil has told you that! the devil has told you that!" cried the little man, and in his anger he plunged his right foot so deep into the earth that his whole leg went in; and then in rage he pulled at his left leg so hard with both hands that he tore himself in two. But the Queen and King, however, lived happily ever after with their child.
The end.

I think this is a good place to start; build a short summary of what has been done and what were the strengths and weaknesses before moving forwards.
I'd like to emphasize, as I did perhaps a bit offhand above, that there is no formula for mass acceptance, and it simplistic to draw simple conclusions from failure. The case of Reddit comes to mind: it 'beat' Digg by copying it and doing a few things differently. Ultimately it is a mixed blessing - there are pretty open hate groups on Reddit, as well as wonderful community efforts to do good. The platform itself is agnostic by and large, and groups like SRS that try to 'police' it by shaming do more harm than good in my view.
If someone were to build a small, open, somewhat-paranoid platform, you'd have to be willing to let it go in the wild, or else you are by definition what you set out to avoid. And that means the very real possibility that what is good for distributed liberalism is also good for distributed hate. And false news. And community growth. And packs of lies.
I'd like to see / work on / think about a system that is rooted in place. I built a system with some students years ago that we jokingly referred to as placeBook. It was called Situated. It allowed you to layer stories on places, do walks and tours, and we were building towards a notification system and templated augmented reality (lite) gaming. It was a hard fight because Apple really didn't like what we were doing and how we were doing it. If I had started 2 years later it would have been all Android all the way, of course.
But changing the value proposition is key. Is it a microblogging platform that supports other media, or is it a media platform / place platform / ... that supports community commentary. Reddit is an example of this, though they turned radically towards dialog-blogging when they started encouraging self-posts.
Going to think about this a bit.
I find this community so rewarding because people are critical without being negative.
One of the pitfalls of this stuff is falling into the trap of trying to reinvent all the wheels. Yes, there are problems all the way down the stack. You have limited resources, and people aren't going to throw out everything they own for a new social network anyway. Dial it back. Compromise makes things happen.
The irony of clicking on the link:
and being prevented from viewing the article because I have an ad blocker enabled in my browser.
the goal of decentralization and democratization of control over content is certainly one which resonates strongly with me. it is an interesting topic for sure.
refined technology solutions certainly help but i'd also agree with others that changing social behavior/expectations might be the trickier part when trying to make any solution in this space fly.
i remember the 1993 web experience and firing up ncsa mosaic for the first time (on a sun4 iirc). finding information was a lot more labor intensive without search engines (but still easier than using gopher and modem/bbs). i have a hard time imagining how one would go about convincing a majority of people that there was more value (social or otherwise) in the individually hosted solutions over the speed/immediacy/convenience of the centralized google/facebook/twitters of the world. for one they all appear free at a surface level. taking ownership of ones digital presence by going out and registering a domain, setting up a machine (even if turnkey), maintaining that machine/network/whatever will bring the cost of that digital interaction more out into the open. i personally do this because i value the privacy and control but it takes time and energy.
the thing which i find more troubling than control (or lack there of) of the platform is the control of the network itself. the discussion around net neutrality became a whole lot more scary to me when i learned a bit more about how internet peering works. there a playbooks, strategies - it is a giant chess game of constantly changing interconnects between providers to maximize their position (at least in the US). if one is willing to wade through some details i found this to be an eye opener: art of peering, the peering playbook
i've been a long time admirer of peter's work. he and the community he fostered have put together many tools which are simultaneously practical and boundary pushing.
while far from a complete solution there are many aspects of ipfs that seem attractive. i found section 3.4 in their white paper particularly thought provoking. if i can crudely summarize one of the challenges in peer-to-peer data sharing networks like ipfs is incentivizing the peers to keep lesser used content available/accessible with similar performance to popular content when the peers themselves have limited resources. the social/incentive part of this problem is interesting to me because while i like the idea (and the tech) in theory i'm hesitant to become a peer if the value that i get out of the network is substantially less that what i feel i put into the network.
i recall a paper which talked about the social/incentive challenges more in depth but i'm failing to find it...
The Internet itself is our modern, expansive, efficient, and general purpose peer-to-peer network. It's as wonderful (or horrible) as we choose to make it, but people tend to forget that.
The average person just wants apps. Shiny, polished apps. But are willing to give up their data to corporations... without appreciating the very deep implications of what that actually means.
This is very cool and makes me feel the magic of decentralization. It's also how I syndicate to twitter from my own domain.
Bridgy is a heroic effort, but boy do you ever feel the spit-and-baling-wire nature of it all if you step off the golden path even a little.
The whole POSSE thing, I feel, is treated as too integral. It's important, but it ought to be treated as exceptional, with special code that handles it directly, rather than elaborately built into the infrastructure.
The Internet itself is our modern, expansive, efficient, and general purpose peer-to-peer network
well... in theory, i suppose; but in practice it's really not, not in the sense i mean, because its infrastructure is hierarchical. for most individuals (not corporations), two agents can't just exchange packets directly; they are routed through a corporate point of presence, network access point, backbone router, and so on. it becomes seriously difficult to actually maintain any meningful "sovreignity" over that data. and there are serious efforts in the US to legally curtail one's options for maintaining anonymity. (e.g., rule 41*)
so, we come to mesh networks and so on.
i'll be the first to admit that the design and adoption of decentralized services is criticial as well - and something we're well behind on as you say - but it's not sufficient when the network infrastructure itself is increasingly being used as a means of surveillance and control. and unfortunately i think that trend will accelerate, whether we're informed about it or not.
@ngwese thanks for the peering link, eye opening indeed! there's a lot to think about down that rabbit hole... also, when you speak to the cost/effort of maintaining indvidiaul infrastructure components - this is something i immediately thought of when i read the OP, and fumblingly tried to suggest: data centers and the network hierarchy exist because of economies of scale; from my rather naive perspective it seems difficult for a truly decentralized network to stay efficient. and if it came to it (somehow), i wouldn't insist on anonymity at the cost of energy efficiency.
anyways, the OP and the discussion here is mostly about services; anonymity and security aren't the primary concerns; i've brought up the point and don't really wish to derail things any further.
(* in a nutshell, this rule allows judges to issue a warrant for search/seizure whenever "the district where the media or information is located has been concealed through technological means." it went into effect in december 2016.)
Here's a completely different angle to approach this topic from: strengthen and modernize the 4th amendment, extending it to protect individual rights against corporate overreach in addition to government overreach.
the infrastructure point is fundamental to me. if corporations own the tubes and capitalism persists in its current course, i don't suspect we will see something resembling freedom.
i'm sure most people never even think about the state of the internet in rural places. cell coverage is pretty sad, very large areas have access only through satellite-- service which literally is so shitty and extortionist that the only reason these companies stay in business is due to there being literally no other option for many people i know-- companies here give constant empty promises to run high speed lines down country roads-- while the residents know this won't happen any time soon (or ever) because of the cost of cable vs. number of homes/businesses served-- the companies have no profit motivation, hence no motivation.
ourselves, we are lucky to be near a local telephone company which offers DSL-- adequate, but nowhere near "modern"
because our government feels so far away from the possibility of holding internet infrastructure in the commons-- and even more so our own distaste at the idea of centralized government control of such a thing-- mesh networks, yes, are something i think about a lot.
unfortunately i don't think there's a lot of room in the spectrum to do much legally with the FCC, short of everyone getting HAM license and exploring packet radio?
but we won't be streaming youtube so well with mesh networks, i imagine. not without some cellphone-tower-grade commons-oriented appliance that people can "volunteer" into a wide network. maybe this is the next idea.
but i also love the idea of low bandwidth as a way to enforce suck-less design. text, mail, message boards, articles, wikipedia, etc. these are fundamentally small payloads. to close with some controversy: http://suckless.org/sucks/web
always thought this was a fun/silly post:
i would link to this pdf about "peak bandwidth" but it is 1.5MB
on the topic of rural & community-owned infrastructure:
my hope for the future of a decentralized, global network: smallsats
For the past twenty years of working the web, I've never known it to be anything but spit-and-baling-wire, at least for the interesting/bleeding edge stuff. But I think that's all part of the fun, and why I used to work for browser makers and in search.
The dude who wrote Bridgy is the same person who brought the world Google App Engine (or whatever it's called). He also happens to be a complete angel of a human being, and made me re-examine my opinions of Googlers (or at least ex-ones).
I get what you're saying about the POSSE thing. I know we all can't be disciples of Tim Berners-Lee and the whole "building the world you want to live in" thing is ripe for mocking. But if your data matters to you and you want to exist outside corporate silos, then what?
I'd rather build my own damn house, ramshackle and incomplete as it is, than sharecrop on someone else's land. That said, it would neurotic to expect everyone else to want to live that way.
ok, to take this analogy to a crazy place-- if you buy an expensive home in a gated neighborhood, what does it mean to complain about the home owners association?
go to the forest.
Speaking of crazy places, when you mentioned your rural connectivity woes, visualize if you will, a 56K dial-up account in Big Sur, because ever since the local ISP abandoned DSL service, it's been that kind of party. And there's no mobile service either. But hey, there's a wood burning stove and a hot tub in the woods, so it's heaven when I'm down there.
If we really want to kill this analogy... what we're talking about with Facebook vs distributed service/infrastructure (i.e. the original WWW) is more like moving into a gated neighbourhood for free because you agree that the owners can watch you on surveillance equipment all the time, and then subsidize your housing by selling your information to advertisers that can put ads right in your house.

Not an uncommon scenario in most of the acreage of USA.

My last few posts about my shape change I've been so blessed and feel so loved with the amount of IMs and comments either here or on plurk. So many people have been so supportive! I thank all of you for being with me on this journey.
A special thanks goes to December Dollinger (a fabulous DJ, btw) who pointed out jeans that would fit my new faun legs. She told me in one my plurks. I do enjoy the look of a faun leg. I'm just struggle with how to really style them. Putting on a pair of jeans that are designed with the faun leg shape was the perfect starting point for me.
I have to admit I was a little shy and even maybe apprehensive to show my readers the faun legs. Having December share with me this store for the jeans I knew it would help me. Jeans, for me, is always a safety blanket. Its like a baby step and maybe one day I'll be able to show the faun leg in a post.
For a super low price, I purchased the pack pack of four jean colors. I was so enjoying the store I even joined their VIP group! Finding high-quailty designers who cater to the fantasy side of secondlife is my new mission. If you know of any, please drop in a comment or inworld IM. I always love hearing from all of you <3

NEW YORK, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Malvern, Pennsylvania-based healthcare company Endo Health Solutions is marketing a $4.3 billion bond and loan refinancing package in conjunction with its $1.6 billion acquisition of Paladin Labs Inc, sources told Thomson Reuters LPC.
The acquisition triggers change of control requirements on Endo's existing debt, prompting the refinancing.
The loan portion comprises a $750 million institutional tranche, which is expected to launch at a December 4 bank meeting, along with a $1.85 billion pro rata portion that launched November 22.
The pro rata portion is typically syndicated to banks, while the institutional term loan is marketed to institutional investors.
The $1.85 billion pro rata piece is split between a $750 million, five-year revolver and a $1.1 billion, five-year term loan A. Price guidance on the revolver and term loan A is set at LIB+200, with no Libor floor. The revolver, which is expected to be undrawn at close, will carry a 35bp fee on the undrawn portion.
Lender commitments are due December 12, sources added.
The $1.68 billion bond portion of the financing is comprised of $500 million 7 percent notes due 2019; $400 million 7 percent notes due 2020; $400 million 7.25 percent notes due 2022; and $380 million 1.75 percent convertible notes due 2015.
The refinancing package will also be used to buy back Endo's outstanding convertible notes due April 2015.
Deutsche Bank and RBC Capital Markets committed financing for the transaction.
Paladin Labs shareholders will receive 1.6331 shares of Endo and C$1.16 in cash, subject to adjustment, for each Paladin Labs share they own upon closing, with around 98 percent of the purchase value made in stock.
Endo is a healthcare company with business segments that are focused on branded and generic pharmaceuticals, devices and services. Operating companies include AMS, Endo Pharmaceuticals, HealthTronics and Qualitest.
Paladin Labs Inc, headquartered in Montreal, Canada, is a specialty pharmaceutical company.
Deutsche Bank, Endo, and Paladin did not return calls for comment.

About Artcoustic
The business concept for Artcoustic evolved from the idea of providing an exclusive loudspeaker system to consumers that shared a passion for superb sound quality and a preference for design that reflected their own personalities and tastes. The Artcoustic loudspeaker range has been designed for today's diverse interiors for the home, home cinemas, corporate boardrooms, professional recording studios, restaurants and hotels.
The loudspeakers are flat, only 3" or 5" deep, depending on the model. The sleek design gives the loudspeaker the character of a picture that can hang discreetly on the wall. This is enhanced by the individual freedom that allows the customer to choose the look of the front of the speakers. With solid color fabric or designs on the front screens, most don't realize it is a speaker until it is turned on and playing.
Founded in 1998, Artcoustic is world renowned for its range of high -end performance wall mounted speakers that feature interchangeable screens that allow one to choose from a vast array of fabrics and decorative prints to suit the interior. The superior product range has been awarded for its groundbreaking designs and is sold worldwide. Going back to the roots of Danish loudspeaker design, Artcoustic has transformed the way sound and speakers can enhance the atmosphere and interior. The Artcoustic loudspeaker has effectively erased the distinction between a loudspeaker and furnishing, yet remains true to the intended purpose: Superb reproduction of sound.
