How Algorithms and Editors Can Work Together to Burst the "Filter Bubble":

The algorithms that surface content for us on Facebook and Google are miracles of modern programming. But Eli Pariser, author and chairman of the board at MoveOn.org, has concerns. In March, Pariser gave a popular TED talk about “filter bubbles” — the idea that when search and social networks…

Book Ban: Virginia Bans Sherlock Holmes from School Libraries

Book Ban: Virginia Bans Sherlock Holmes from School Libraries:

canisfamiliaris:

Yet another great reason to censor a book: The Albemarle, Virginia, County School Board has banned Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet from sixth-grade reading lists, because a parent challenged the book because it was “derogatory toward Mormons.” There’s a section about a community’s reaction to — gasp! — a non-Mormon man who wants to marry a Mormon girl in the 1800s.

fluctus:

Nikon D7000 Give Away! I recently won this by winning a photography competition, but since i’m a semi-professional photographer, and already own a camera better than the D7000, a Nikon D3x (i love my Nikons), i thought I’d give it away, so someone else can share my enjoyment of photography.

Included is everything in the standard D7000 kit:

- Body

- 55-200mm Nikor Lens

- Charger

- SD card (1Gb)

- Computer cable

- Battery

- Strap

- etc. etc.

- everything you will need to go out and start shooting some photos!

- + I will pay for shipping worldwide.

Rules are simple. Just like any other give away you’ve seen on tumblr, you must reblog this post to go into the draw. you are allowed as many reblogs as you like, but ‘likes’ will not count. Also, as with other tumblr give aways, you must be following me: (http://fluctus.tumblr.com/)

Winner will be drawn by random number generator (random number corresponds with winning note number) on the 1st of July, so get rebloging! (make sure your ask boxes are turned on by the 1st, as that is how i shall contact the winner (contact me for help with this if you are unsure how).

Goodluck!

edit.

those who don’t believe me, and are sending me messages telling me i’m lying, here is a photo of the camera and lens boxes, with my url:

Who Rules America?

“Just 10% of the people own the United States.”

So says, Bill Domhoff, Ph.D., a sociology professor who specializes in a sub-field called “stratification,” and who presents details on the wealth and income distributions in the United States, and explains how we use these two distributions as power indicators.

Some of the information may come as a surprise to many people.

In fact, I know it will be a surprise and then some, because of a recent study (Norton & Ariely, 2010) showing that most Americans (high income or low income, female or male, young or old, Republican or Democrat) have no idea just how concentrated the wealth distribution actually is.

As far as income distribution, the most amazing numbers on income inequality will come last.
