Are you referring to space-filling curves?

How is Go's websocket support?
I have been thinking Go might be a good choice for a websocket proxy, like node.js is used in Juggernaut (http://flask.pocoo.org/snippets/80/).

How is that different that Glenn Beck going after Google in "unaccountable ways"? (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/17/glenn-beck-google-s..., http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/glenn-beck/transcript/beck-thr...)

amber.js had a nice feel to it -- ember.js, not so much.

What's the best option for using websockets with Python?
WSGI doesn't support it (http://librelist.com/browser//flask/2010/9/1/flask-and-webso...). gevent is an option (http://blog.pythonisito.com/2011/07/gevent-zeromq-websockets...), but would something like Mongrel2 be better (http://mongrel2.org/)?
UPDATE: There's also Juggernaut (http://flask.pocoo.org/snippets/80/), which uses node.js under the hood.

All you need is the coach calling the plays and one high-paid player to have a bad day, like the quarterback. "Any given Sunday," right?

The NFL's lawyers stated the NFL competes in the "entertainment marketplace" (http://judiciary.senate.gov/hearings/testimony.cfm?renderfor...) and operates as a single entity, not as 32 teams. The NFL makes a large portion of its revenue from television, and ratings are higher on close, competitive games.
What prevents owners from keeping the games close or trading wins/losses now to help a storyline in exchange for markers for future wins when they're on a championship track?
While it is illegal to fix sporting events for gambling purposes, evidently you can fix sports for entertainment purposes. The All 22 footage would make this more difficult because this type of stuff would be easier for fans to detect.

Anyone else get the feeling that all of this "hacker" stuff in the media is serving to raise the profile of "hackers" and position them as the new "terrorists" in an effort to create an environment of fear that will lead to support for upcoming Internet regulations?

What data sources does Facebook use to trigger the email?
And are emails manually approved before they go out? If so, does that mean a Facebook employee looks at the data source that triggered email, which in some cases may be the user's private messages?

What about Facebook?
A few weeks ago I had a situation where Facebook contacted me about a job, and it appeared that Facebook may have been reading (or at the least mining) private messages related to my startup (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3035376). A Facebook employee replied to the thread but wouldn't provide details.
