AI - My Thoughts - 2

So one of the points I pointed in the previous post was “We need a single point of entry for all the data which is flowing from you to the outside world”.

 

Consider Google, which provides the following

-          they have a Orkut, social networking site, thru which they have a list of your close friends (It would be pretty simple to ask you how you know that person), so they understand what kind of relationship you have with your friends.

-          they provide you a mail service, so they know whom you contact most/least often.

-          They have your chat (talk), so they know whom you communicate instantly with. (this + the social networking site’s scrap feature)

-          The OpenSocial was initiated which allowed sharing friends info (of course it could not be replicated) across members of the OpenSocial forum.

-          They have provided an RSS reader, so they know what you read. (some kind of replacement for newspapers)

-          They know what your friends read since your friends also match the above criteria.

-          They know what kind of advertisements interests you.

 

So what you see over here is a “search company” which would be able to “on demand” replicate you. J After the other AI probs are cracked i.e..

 

And so now you understand why I want to  get into google!!!!!

 

Note:

1.       Nowhere in my previous blog post or this blog post do I say that google is using this data.

2.       As per my knowledge, Google is currently not using this data.

3.       I am very sure it will never deny a user his/her privacy by using this data in the future also.

4.       Do not make any misassumptions or crib about this post

 

 

Hopefully I get time tomorrow morn to post this to my blog. ZZZZZZzzzzz…

B.O.F.H.

Was browsing the net, and found some old link to BOFH. Not sure as to how many used to read PCQuest some time back when it used to come, but i remember reading them, with of course re-reads and re-re,etc...i can go on you know. Anyway, it's about a system operator who is bugged by no-brainers asking silly computer related queries, and this guy repling with wierd answers. I had never known the origin of this character, until i saw this . Anyway for those who have never read BOFH, here are two of them.

So you have your website deployed in PROD ... now what ??

Posting on behalf of Usr.Web.Speed - My previous job had been to architect and develop websites for various customers. During that time my team and I have architected and developed various web applications mainly for enterprises. (But below info is not restricted to enterprises) Other than the usual development and testing tasks involved, our focus area was to abide by multiple SLAs. One of the primary SLAs was to provide the users of our websites a very low (usually subsecond) response time (or page load time). To adhere to this SLA, we did multiple activities, in code, process as well as infrastructure. These include (but not limit to) - Using best practices including (http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html) Determining the optimum number of calls to the databases, open connections, etc. Providing the fastest mechanisms to download associated content (such as stylesheets, JS files, etc. over CDN) And debugging the reason for the slowness of the websites, when ...
