Re: How to Serve Cloudinary with HTTPS on Django

Better - Just add 'secure': True to your CLOUDINARY settings.
CLOUDINARY = {
'cloud_name' : 'something',
'api_key' : 'something',
'api_secret': 'something',
'secure': True
}

Great writeup. Helped me a lot. One thing though, it's not recommended to add your python code to the Web server’s document root (/var/www/), as that opens up for others to be able to read it.

Re: Aarhus. Mere end et slogan

Chris — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 16:28:47 -0000

Branding regel nummer 1: Kald dig ikke noget du ikke er, og udgiv dig ikke for noget du ikke opfattes som. Aarhus er ikke og opfattes ikke som en progressiv by eller fremtidens by, og at kalde den det vil ikke på nogen måde hjælpe den til at blive det.Du siger vi skal se forbi sloganet, men det er jo nettop sloganets opgave af opsummere så mange værdier i brandet som muligt. Der er ingen der læser det med småt, heller ikke når det kommer til de gode intentioner der måske ligger bag byens nye slogan. Kun sloganet og aaaaaarh us designet vil blive set. Så det er efter min mening helt rigtig også at bedømme det på denne del.

Her er et perfekt eksempel fra Atlanta der også prøvede sig med et slogan, der ikke virkede: http://www.youtube.com/user...

I like the angel in this post a lot. I might also add that there are other important reputation sites - some that might not capitalise so much on it but still are. When I look for programmers as an ex. I always check there github activities.

Re: Apple’s Big Subscription Bet: Brilliant, Brazen, Or Batsh*t Crazy?

I guess it is goodbye to Audible, Amazon, eBay, Groupon, Basecamp, Podio.. on the iPhone/iPad.

And goodbye to any idea about buying bus-, movie-, or concert-tickets on the iPhone, or any other non-electronic goods.

Imagine if Visa took 30% of all purchases that you made. It's insanity

Re: Apple Launches Subscriptions For Content-Publishers On The App Store

Come on think it through. What you are saying is that you think it would be ok if ebay took a 30% cut of all sales on ebay, because they are the newsstand. That is a VERY old world way of looking at business, and so is Apples way to do business.

The only reason they can do it, is because they sit on a monopoly - just like Microsoft did in its day

When it comes to in-app purchases then Apple is not the newsstand. Apple is the greedy landowner, that wants to charge 30% of all the value that you are able to get from being on that land.

Apple doesn't even pay for the roads, on the land, that makes it possible for customers to come to the land. They do build them, but we as iPhone, iPod and iPad users are paying for them.

Again, if it was not for the Apps, then I would not have bought my iPhone. Apple not getting that, will - i believe - make them loose the game, to the suppliers that DO understand the new model economy.

PS, we are not only talking about the publishing world here. We are talking about all forms of subscription.

Hej Shon, I like your argument, and it has something to it.

But I would say that you make a terrible miss-comparison. The vendor of a newsstand takes there cut because of the work they do. They are paid to build a newsstand, attract customers to it, and then sell the product.

But apple doesn't build the iPhone app for the newspaper, they don't sell the product for the newspaper, all they do - as I wrote before - is providing a payment system. That would be like Visa taking 30% of all sales done by a newsstand.
But not only that, they are also telling the newspaper that they are not allowed to sell there product cheaper anywhere else than the price in the newsstand. Something that I think at least where I come from is against the law.

I guess the model for media companies need to be "you can only download our iPhone app if you already have a subscription".

Imagine Audible, that I am a big user of. How can they survive with a 30% cut in earnings? It's a ridicules cut that they want when all they do is deliver a payment system.

If it wasn't for the apps, then I would not be buying an iPhone. But I guess Apple thinks that if it wasn't for the iPhone people wouldn't buy apps. Love my iPhone, but are seriously considering an android phone as my next.

Re: Twitter Gets Sued For Letting Famous People Interact Online

Bullshit, and writing in caps does not make it more right. Idea's are worth nothing. The value is in what you do with the idea, and how you develop it. And sorry but China has a government policy to position itself on as many patents as possible. There goal is 1.000.000 a year. Far more than all the countries in America and Europe together. That is a policy that will strangle innovation all over the world.

A patent should not protect an idea just because you by chance was the first to patent that idea. But it should protect you from someone else copying an idea that you have used a lot of time and money in developing into a product.

Re: Twitter Gets Sued For Letting Famous People Interact Online

Chris — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 08:50:45 -0000

I totally agree. A patent should be to protect a product/service and not an idea. And even that should be limited.

Re: Google, These Aren’t Really The Best Answers For Users. They Are The Best Answers For You.

So Google went from a search of the web, with ads on the side, to a search of ads with web content underneath, to a search of ads with search results of google content (with the content they earn most on on top), and then if there is room for it some content from the rest of the web.

I guess it is not the government we have to ask to get web neutrality anymore

I love the idea of memolane. The idea of having a place where I can scrool though my life in picture, comments, videos etc. I am not really that big a user of social media sites, but memolane would give me a reason to be.

Yes. It shows the article but with the wrong Itemid, and therefore with the wrong affiliation to its category.

Problem - When linking to an article from inside another article the new article shows up on the same page instead of the page that it is normally shown on. This fucks up the modules that are supposed to be shown together with that article.

This only happens - as far as I know - when the article you link to does not have its own menu item, but is related to a category menu item.

Is there a way to fix this?

Den triste sandhed er, at selv ikke Mona Lisa ville kunne lokke mig tilbage ind på Århus Kunstmuseum. Man skal lede længe efter så tam en oplevelse, det er at gå en tur rundt i det mest vildledte museumsbyggeri i Danmark.

Det er ikke kunsten selv, der får folk til at gå på museum; det er den oplevelse som en tur på museet giver. Og her indtager arkitekturen den største rolle.

Århus kunstmuseums fiasko er ikke et resultat af rod i regnskaberne eller forfejlede kunstindkøb. Det er et resultat af en ledelse, der ikke modtog den rette rådgivning i byggeriets første og mest afgørende fase - hvor programmeringen fastlægges.
