Hi Lucky!

The url for the video is:

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152832854448588&permPage=1

(warning, may need to find a barf bag before viewing!)

and the embed they kick out is:

<div id="fb-root"></div> <script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
<div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152832854448588" data-width="466"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152832854448588">Post</a> by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sarahpalin">Sarah Palin</a>.</div></div>


I read elsewhere that using an embed like this should work:

<object width=&#8221;400&#8243; height=&#8221;224&#8243; >
<param name=&#8221;allowfullscreen&#8221; value=&#8221;true&#8221; />
<param name=&#8221;allowscriptaccess&#8221; value=&#8221;always&#8221; />
<param name=&#8221;movie&#8221; value=&#8221;http://www.facebook.com/v/10152832854448588&#8221;/>
<embed src=&#8221;http://www.facebook.com/v/10152832854448588&#8221; type=&#8221;application/x-shockwave-flash&#8221;
allowscriptaccess=&#8221;always&#8221; allowfullscreen=&#8221;true&#8221; width=&#8221;400&#8243; height=&#8221;224&#8243;>
</embed>
</object>


but I'm either doing it wrong or it doesn't work anymore.

P.S. the code gets translated to shit when I submit it to you in this comment but if you go the referenced webpages below you can see what I actually pasted here.
Thanks for your help!

Facebook?

Huh... Is that similar to MySpace or maybe Friendster? It should be expected that some lesser-known websites wouldn't be on our list of accepted video hosts.

@speechless - Can you PM me the embed code you're trying to use? Please enclose it in code tags so it will be properly formatted.

Competition is for Losers: Natural Monopolies Aren't Forced

Trancecoach says...

As a self-made billionaire, I'd say he's a fairly successful businessman. While the video may not do his thesis justice, the article and the book are far more comprehensive. Thiel is basically saying go for the blue ocean and not to compete in the ref one.

Respect The Sport You Love

Yogi says...

They keep saying the referee didn't see it. How do they know that immediately? I mean sometimes the referee could see something but the player could own up to it before the referee has a chance to say something. I think at least some of these were the player admitting and the referee agreeing because they were just about to call it.

Not like snooker refs have a whistle.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Prison (HBO)

RedSky says...

@Jerykk

I'll address by paragraph.

(1)

Wait, so I'm confused. Not enough research on my claim yet the death penalty apparently offers guaranteed results despite evidence to the contrary that I suggested?

Firstly I think you might be trying to make a bit of a straw man. I'm not saying that there should be no penalty. Some penalty obviously discourages some crime. But the argument is more over whether harsher sentences and mandatory minimums as this video discusses are helping, which I would argue they are not for the reasons outlined previously.

As for evidence of rehabilitation reducing recidivism, take for example:

http://ijo.sagepub.com/content/12/1/9.refs (see PDF)

Page 1
Finland, Norway and Sweden all have ~50-70 locked up per 100K, among the lowest. US has 716.

Page 2-3
Norway recidivism - 20%
US recidivism - 52%

I await your evidence to the contrary.

(2)

I'm talking per capita. Per capita the US certainly does have the highest among first world countries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate#By_country

Sort by per capita and find me a developed country higher than the US please.

Russia is not a first-world country (that's actually a Cold War term, more correctly not a a developed country). I'm Russian, I assure you, I would know

Russia's GDP/capita is $14K USD, versus the US's $52K. Not even a close comparison.

(3)

But do criminals proportionalise justice? Like I asked, do you think anything but a small minority (likely white collar criminals) accurately know the likely sentence of a crime before they commit it? If they don't what's the purpose of making them more severe?

Nobody is proposing there be no penalty. Even Scandanavian prisons are a penalty. The question is, does the threat of 30 over 15 years locked up (should they even be able to decipher legal code to know this) actually make a difference? I would argue not, hence the argument for harsher sentences is illogical.

People are generally good at gauging the likelihood of being caught (ie your pirating example) but that's not what I was talking about (the scale of punishment being a deterrent).

(4)

I don't think what you're proposing is practical or logical. No society is going to accept the death penalty as a punishment for speeding. It's an irrelevant argument to make.

Again, why the need for elaborate ideas never before attempted? Why not just adopt a model that has already worked, such as the Scandinavian one? It seems like you're trying to wrap your mind around a solution that fits your preconceived notion of incentives and no government assistance like I suggested in my first post.

(5)

Venezuela is a developing country. Crime is largely a result of economic mismanagement by Chavez leading to joblessness and civil unrest.

There are plenty of countries with which to compare the US with. Obvious choices would be Australia or the UK. Anglo-Saxon countries, similar culture, comparative income/capita. Or really any European country. Your comparison would suggest tp me you're trying to stretch your argument to fit.

Quick way to peel new potatoes

Rare access to 'eighth wonder of world' - BBC News

oritteropo says...

Well... it is. In 2001 a grocer was convicted for using scales which only showed imperial weights, but that doesn't mean that the people have wholeheartedly adopted the system (see this article from BBC News Magazine for example).

I visited in 2002, and found that it was metric enough to make it comfortable for an Australian We were visiting a friend who is a vet nurse... who would weigh animals at work in kilograms, but herself in stones. If you've watched Gav and Dan in the slowmo guys videos, they measure distances in centimetres, inches, metres, kilometres, and miles.

Might I also point out that the U.S. is also officially a metric country, and has been for 148 years, after an act of congress was passed authorising the use of metric weights and measures in 1866 (ref http://science.howstuffworks.com/why-us-not-on-metric-system2.htm), and having been the only English speaking country to become a signatory to the Metre Convention (in 1875).

Feigning an injury at its finest

Yogi says...

"Rugby player does his best to get a penalty called against the other team. I'm surprised teams and or players aren't penalized for faking it."

I'm surprised the guy wasn't penalized for taking a shot, he took it, it doesn't matter that he missed and the guy faked it. The referee used his personalty in this to tell the guy to get up and get on with it. This looks like a professional game with a professional referee that has been in the league for years. Likely knows all the players by name, and chats with them during the game.

It may not be by the book but at the professional level there's a lot of grey areas, the idea is the game is a spectacle and that's what the audience is paying for. Referees are there to make sure the game is fair, and to produce an event. This referee didn't ruin the game, he kept it going and kept the players honest. I say good for him, players respect him and his decision, and we move on.

And I sit here wishing to GOD that I reffed Rugby instead of Soccer. Because if this happened in soccer, both teams would be surrounding me whining constantly and they would never shut up.

Sometimes the original or just the acoustics are enough to make a song good. Is this version commercially available somewhere? I'm part of the sad people who only recognize and know the popular one. And hearing the original is just as good as hearing the edited version.
