No matter how obvious and beaten-to-death a joke is, there's always someone who can't help themselves.

I think this line of jokes has some potential, but I

I imagine advance knowledge of the timing is desirable if the project involves many volunteers going to a beach to herd turtles at night. Allows for planning, doesn't require anyone to monitor the webcam at night, etc.

Google to the rescue:

Interesting article. However, this early sentence did set off my detectors:

Mental and physical performance are strongly correlated, meaning maintaining your body will help maintain your mind.

Of course, the conclusion is not supported by (only) the correlation.

Indeed, rails. Subway rails in fact. Subway rails with a subway train riding on them :)

D'oh, of course!

Fascinating. Here's a talk in which he goes into some background on the technology and process behind some of his work: http://vimeo.com/78667444

Holy shit look at his dock at 12:17.

It seems it automatically goes to the next page (and scrolls about 1/3 down the page) once I scroll to the bottom? And there's no way to go back to the previous page?

Some usability issues, but overall a nice idea. I like the chronological sorting.

Yeah . . . I'm wondering how best to fix that. The problem with rendering iFrames is that once you hit 100, it gets CPU intensive and laggy, so I decided to delete older items under the assumption that the user was done with them. Thus, by limiting it to 50 items onscreen at once, it increases performance. Maybe pagination would have been better, I just didn't want to force users to click more than they had to.

I have 45 items. When I get to the bottom, it blanks all the items, and displays "finished loading items" twice. If I log out then log back in it displays my list of likes again .. until I scroll to the bottom.

How so?

2013/2014 was an exception. WCC has been held every other year for the last few years, and it will return to that now. Honestly I'm not quite sure why they decided to arrange the 2013 WCC in the first place.

Every other year makes a lot of sense for different reasons, though. It allows the champion to be more active outside of the championship (not just prepare for the next one all the time), it allows for a proper candidates cycle, it makes it easier to find venues/sponsors, etc.

It's not necessarily as simple as calling the police in Liberia. Corruption levels there are significantly higher than they are in Denmark. What if the logger pays the policeman to do nothing about it?

Enforcement is definitely going to be a challenge, but hopefully they have a good plan in place.

Aerial photography + incentives paid based on evidence that the forest remains, coupled with dedicating part of the funding to paying locals to help look after it creates a strong incentive shared by many groups to ensure it works.
