FOAF-based social networking sites

http://peopleaggregator.com/index http://ecademy.com/ plink

and here's FOAF-a-matic http://www.ldodds.com/foaf/foaf-a-matic

Just a couple of points. Although the business models of these networks are closed at the moment, the data, at least Ecademy FOAF, is not and freely available. Any network or application that wishes to use this FOAF can do so.

Scott suggests that FOAF from these networks allow inter-network links only. True, but if you look ay my Ecademy FOAF at: http://ecademy.com/module.php?mod=network&op=foafrdf&uid21496 you will see an rdfs:seeAlso element which links to my personal FOAF. Using this consuming applications can easily traverse from the network to the wild and back.

Wrong again - bug report please - the comment post is stripping the URL. &u21496 is ending up as &u=21496.

A bunch of Paul Graham essays are good. Take them with a grain of salt, though.

"high precision scientific calculator with full support for physical units":

https://insect.sh/

schiffern 89 days ago [-]

Frink is a "napkin math" language that supports units, uncertainty propagation (keeping track of middle/lower/upper), and exact rational numbers. Named after Professor Frink from The Simpsons, of course. Also it has an insanely comprehensive file of units and constants (derived from GNU units and greatly expanded), so it includes handy things like earthmass, stefanboltzmann, etc.
