YouTube - Walt Disney's Original Plan for EPCOT - Part 2
Walt Disney’s original vision for his Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow (EPCOT) is astounding.

Unfortunately, what was later opened as “EPCOT Center” is only a terribly faint echo of the original vision.

http://confreaks.net/videos/282-lsrc2010-real-software-engineering
Glenn Vanderburg gives a compelling redefinition of software engineering. He reviews the early origins of software engineering, makes comparisons to other engineering fields and processes, and describes how the central features of modern software development (testing is nearly free, requirements can be very complex) will necessarily give modern software engineering a shape that is different from modern physical engineering disciplines.

Watch This: 70-Minute Video Review of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace | /Film
A stylized, mocking critique of The Phantom Menace. Points out basic story-telling and film-making techniques that were grossly violated in TPM. It contrasts TPM's structure with that of A New Hope and others of the original trilogy. Incorporates behind-the-scenes footage from the development and internal, first-cut screening of TPM to indicate that large swathes of the production team were paralyzed with fear of Lucas, letting him get away with utter nonsense.

A 30 minute video of a speech that makes the points that there are much more effective ways of treating many of thy symptoms of global warming than focusing directly on carbon emissions.

Not comprehensive (Ron Garret points out that the potential problems of rising sea levels due to polar ice cap melting as one that that might not be amenable to a vastly more efficient alternate solution).

» Shirky and Overload Lispian: Random meanderings on whatever catches my fancy
Embedded video of Clay Shirky giving a talk about information overload. The main idea is that technological communication is fundamentally different from normal in-person communication. Filters that are automatically engaged in in-person context are usually non-existent in technological contexts.

Changing one's relationship status on (e.g.) Facebook causes outbound information overload.

Spam, (RSS) feeds, and even normal email are a examples of inbound information overload.

Virtual study groups are something of a hybrid. The students want to leverage the technology, but the universities might see it as cheating.

When faced with information overload, ask "what filter just broke?".

Analog Meets Its Match in Red Digital Cinema's Ultrahigh-Res Camera
About a new digital movie camera system that captures images comparable in quality to film (4096x2304, same sensor size as normal film). Designed by the guy behind Oakley sunglasses. Uses many technologies that were invented specifically for this camera (a new loss less video codec for RAW footage, new technology single chip sensor). While still expensive ($17.5k, body only?), it is much cheaper than film cameras ($25k/month to RENT) and other, professional-grade, but lower-resolution digital video cameras ($150k).

Using Photographs to Enhance Videos of a Static Scene
A paper and demonstration video that combines still photography and dynamic video footage (panning, camera movement, small lighting changes, etc.) of the same mostly static scenes to enhance the video: fix exposure (including high dynamic range exposures), enhance resolution, remove blemishes and prominent foreground objects, edit/replace still images (e.g. framed pictures in a video sequence), provide much better vibration reduction.
The technique builds physical models of the scene by analyzing the video and photographs for depth and reconstructs the video using information derived from other parts of the video as well as the still photographs.

Schneier on Security: Why You Should Never Talk to the Police
A couple of videos from a hour "lecture" about using the 5h Amendment. The first is by a law professor and the second is a response by a police officer. The cop agrees that it is completely true and gives some of the common mistakes that people make in interviews. There is no such thing as "off the record" in the interview room.

Even if you are innocent and tell only the truth there are two things that can still cause problems at trial: a mistaken recollection by the police (mentioning "shooting" before the interview and later thinking that it was the suspect that first mentioned it during the interview: now it is your word vs. the police's), mistaken witnesses that contradict some truthful statement (I wasn't at A, I was at B; some (mistaken) witness claims to have seen you near A).

Talking to the police can only hurt you. Even if you are innocent.

Money As Debt
Banks do not loan out depositor's money (or even investor's money). They create it whenever they they issue a new loan. It is only minimally backed by "real money" (maybe as little as 1%). This probably explains the ever present push for growth.
