If it's beneficial to everyone, like Tibet, the Chinese would support the government

If it's government's monopolistic interest, everyone condemn the government.
If he's fixed the bugs and gotten it to be portable (at least to POSIX), then why shouldn't it get adopted? Just look at those benchmark results! 259ms per loop instead of the next best of 1.25s. If a real app gets improvements from this, it should be a no-brainer.
"It was impossible to buy the licenses for the Western software used as the game's engine. The Iranians had to rely on less powerful open-source software that was freely available on the Web."

The open source engine they are using is OGRE3D. http://www.ogre3d.org/ It is getting pretty impressive for an open-source project. Former Blizzard North\Diablo 2 developers released a game called Torchlight that uses it.
You would want to just rewrite it at that point.
I've read his political work, but I don't think any of what the OP said is really true. For example, the claim that Chomsky only (or mostly) cites himself is simply false. You can check this for yourself by looking at the notes for Hegemony or Survival on books.google.com:

http://books.google.com/books?id=7idg2XjTVroC&lpg=PP1...

There are only a handful of references to work by Chomsky, and all are perfectly legitimate (i.e. they're not being used as a substitute for citing independent sources). The vast majority of the references are to newspaper articles and books by other authors.
This is really sad. Did you see libertarian in there? Ron Paul is not the only libertarian and is despised by many libertarians. I'll go into that further if you so desire.

>Black Swan theory, the problem of economic calculation, the broken window fallacy, etc, are examples.

These have nothing to do with what I was talking about. I'm quite familiar will some of these topics and they are interesting to consider.

As I said before I'm down with econ not being a precise science. However, some opinions just aren't that serious.

Like a promotional movie site. I just want to see the trailer and leave. What is the point of logging in and then viewing the trailer? Then again I'm probably missing the point since promotional sites are all about raising awareness about some product so getting access to my friends list is the whole point of the site and facebook just streamlines the process.
I'd wait to see how this works with a real workload as opposed to his contrived example. It looks like it might be good, but it definitely needs to be better tested.

If your message were merely about sugars, you probably wouldn't be advocating bananas, apples, and pears. They have a decent chunk of sugar in them.

For example, my Trix has 13g of sugar [1] and an apple (small) has 13g [2]. The calories do sway in the apple's favor, but there are fewer vitamins in an apple. Does this mean Trix are healthier? No (see the sodium and carbs), but it also doesn't mean they will be the death of me if I exercise and don't eat 5000 calories worth.

What do you mean by "not as badly as the fully-serialized scenario"? I thought that Python threads are fully serialized, apart from extensions code which can spawn their own threads and release the GIL during operations that don't affect the python memory (IO mainly). Interpreter still switches Python threads using GIL, but the Python code itself never runs in parallel.

Are we talking about the same thing, or is there some other non-serialized scenario?
On revision, thanks for deciphering my terse question.

As an aside, I did invest in one web startup which took the unusual step of returning the entire first round investment by way of dividends prior to an IPO. Very peculiar and not US based, so I figure your assertion holds.
pardon me if this is lame. What does the O in TO mean?
I agree -- and it's amazing how bad the existing software is. (I work in this field).

It would be a great place to do a startup (there are a bunch of niches which could easily support multiple companies) -- it's mainly implementing open but antiquated specs from the late 1980s, doing interop testing with existing vendors, and being able to go through the long sales cycle. You would want some MDs on the team, which makes it kind of expensive (young MDs need to pay off their schooling, and older ones would be giving up profitable jobs).

The $40-80k per EHR thing is a big market opportunity.
How many of the startups from YC make it to a liquidity event? What happens to the 30% who don't get funding or make it to profitability?
That could be quite true (an enlightened dictatorship might be good for the economy). The question is if sacrificing civic freedom for more economic "freedom" is worth it.
I blame the teachers, not the students. It's not like Newtonian physics is intuitive, in fact it's the exact opposite so if the professors don't hammer the concepts the students will just retain their old intuitive views of how objects interact.
Well, see, it depends on how the question was asked. Was it part of a test that the student thought would be graded?

When I was in college, every once in a great while, I'd be stopped on the street and asked some question, usually by a psychology student. I'm not necessarily happy today with the smart-aleck I was then, but my answers were always completely off the wall. Q: Who's the Vice President? A: Paul Newman. Q: What's to the north of the U.S.? A: Africa. (I'm making up the questions. They were about general knowledge, but I no longer remember what they were).

I mean, there wasn't anything at stake. Why the hell wouldn't I give completely off the wall answers? So, somewhere, there are a bunch of people laughing at stupid American college students at least partially because of my answers.

Ok, so if someone asked me a question like that in the street today, I would probably answer exactly the same way (haven't matured all that much apparently). Wouldn't you?
Your sentence hurts my head. Can you please explain what you just said?

I think it is increasingly true over time. The amount of software use is increasing and the quality of programmers required to solve problems with software is declining. There's a lot of open source out there, so you can see the code and see that it isn't that great a lot of times, but it gets proliferated with marketing, much like factory goods.

Imagine the furniture artisans from the 1800's looking at the quality of furniture sold in the stores today... shoddy materials, weak joints, poor finishing. It's almost the same today in software -- or at least the trend is in that direction.

You can still get quality furniture today with solid wood, great finishes, and sturdy construction, but you have to pay 10x or 20x the price of something from IKEA. Same is true of software. So you could say it is less true for "good" programmers, but it's also less true for good furniture makers. If it is true that abundance creates scarcity, the abundance of bad software and programmers has created a scarcity of good software and programmers, just like every other industry.

Besides, saying it isn't true for good programmers is a like the No True Scotsman fallacy. What is a good programmer? Is a good programmer someone for whom it isn't true? Can you quantify what it is that makes a good programmer? Can software users tell the difference? I don't think they can.

I feel sorry for John_Onion. The comments here are coming from people who have never looked at server logs (e.g. 'how do you know those are all spiders?'). Looking at my logs I would say at least 75% of my hits (juliusdavies.ca) are spiders. They come and visit every single page a few times a year to see if it's changed. For my own purposes I mirror some open source manuals and specifications (http://juliusdavies.ca/webdocs/). These have been on my site, unchanged, for at least 3 years, and the spiders come every couple months and check every page.

These hits will never (and should never!) translate into even a single real user in my case.
For health care as a "customer", I think I like it. I'd rather have some assembly-line style automatons applying empirically validated flow-chart medicine than old-style generalist doctors going off their gut instinct. Sure, sometimes you really need some critical thinking, but 95%+ of medicine is routine, and more liable to be screwed-up than helped by someone going off-script.

Going even further, I'd be happy to see computers do more routine medical work. It's been 35 years since the system MYCIN beat most physicians in its (admittedly narrow) area of competence, and yet we still have huge amounts of automatable stuff being done by fallible humans attempting to recall something out of a med-school textbook.

I'm pretty sure that there's a good chunk of stuff you can do in Python without acquiring the GIL -- the problem is that in practice you end up doing a lot of I/O and stuff that requires at least momentarily acquiring the GIL, leading to contention. So if you stuck to the operations that didn't require locking any GIL-protected data, you could run at full throughput. It's at least not the case that the GIL is held all the time while running a Python thread -- the problem is instead that your threads end up having to acquire it often.
What Microsoft learned from Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates
I'm sorry. Comments here used to be a lot more thoughtful (in both senses). I'm planning on working on this problem soon.
The problem the startup will face is finding programmers who would put up with all the irrationality in the medical field. The reason the software is so bad is because the field is dominated by business types who can push papers through until their software is approved or bought, but can't find good programmers to make good software.

There are a lot of legal issues too, so the risk can actually take you negative very easily -- like jail time or fines, so it's a different equation for investors, entrepreneurs and programmers.

It's interesting that many of the respondents were so concerned about the Earth's gravity. It's inconsequential given that the moon is in orbit around the Earth (and therefore so is the pen).
Best Cameras under $150

I realize that's not scientific. I'm just saying the inconsistency is not a smoking gun, and was addressed within the paper.
Right. There is currently no exception handling and so exceptions are fatal. The point of exception handling is to make it possible to make exceptions not be fatal.

The fact that this does not make it possible to keep exceptions from being fatal is a limitation on how strongly exceptions are handled.
Verizon doesn’t know what Verizon knows
If you've watched Jay Leno's "Jaywalking" segment, you've seen this phenomenon. He asks people on the street a bunch of questions and looks for hilariously dumb answers. I think some of his responders really are that dumb, but some of them are just going for lulz (Example: "What is the opening line of the Bible?" "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.")

That said, the page said pretty explicitly that the question was asked on actual quizzes, which presumably means the students expected to be graded.

On the positive side: they presented 40 of the 48 wrong answers they got. 34 of the 40 came from first-semester physics or astronomy. So at least it appears the majority of second semester and higher level students got it right.

You're right about it being inconsequential, but the fact that the moon is in orbit around the earth has nothing to do with it.

It's an inverse square law based on the distance between the objects (and also the mass, but the distance is the key factor in this scenario). The earth is 200,000+ miles away, which is why the moon's gravity will win out over the earth's.

It's really sad that college physics students failed so badly at the question.
I agree with your post. That said, maybe the problem is the text.

There are many artificial problems we create for ourselves by using strings for everything. Programming languages in particular have upper limits on expressiveness due to syntax issues. We can't easily annotate expressions or types with extra details without filling the screen with symbols; characters don't scale. Keying every resource with a unique human-readable string causes import conflicts, broken backwards compatibility, and hundred-line diffs - all in the name of renaming one function. Mistakes like ambiguous identifier-scope lookups, block structure/indentation mismatches, and operator precedence issues eat up valuable programmer hours repeatedly, in exactly the same way each time.

We've designed better languages to mitigate these effects, but we can only do so much. We can do static analysis to catch common errors and incremental compilation in the editor itself, but the heuristics can only work in a fraction of innumerable cases. Even simple syntax highlighting is intractable in many cases. If we programmed in structure with an AST-aware editor, whole classes of artificial problems would vanish in an instant. (To be replaced by the UI issues of a whole different paradigm in editors...)

Well, there are plenty of people working toward this, myself included. We'll see.
This is bad, but when you think about it, the answer is not as obvious as it initially seems.

I believe the earth's gravity is stronger than the moon's even on the surface of the moon. In order to get the correct answer a student must think about orbital velocities and the way velocity helps objects stay in orbit and not fall to the ground, even if there is a gravity force exerted on them. And then the student would have to imagine the pen not as something stationary on the moon, but as something that is travelling around the earth (with the moon) at high velocity, and then the student would have to realise that the pen has sufficient orbital velocity not to fall to the earth, but in relation to the moon it has very little orbital velocity, so it will fall to the moon and not to the earth.

So my point is this is not that simple and it requires some imagination and complicated reasoning to get the right answer.

Of course most people should get it by remembering the moon landing videos and remembering how the astronauts were bound by the moon's gravity in those videos, but maybe kids these days have not even seen the moon landing videos.

"Dell Denies Discussing China Move With India Minister": http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a5Hy...

Something tells me the tech media is a bit too eager to jump on the China-bashing bandwagon.
You mean the high school teachers right?

Also, I don't really understand how it would be intuitive for the Earth to attract the pen and not the Moon.
I could be totally off with this analogy, but this argument is similar to the thinking that overtook my mind a few months ago when I was doing a case study on whether or not Apple should release an eBook reader (complete coincidence).

I kept thinking to myself, "Why would anyone ever buy an eBook reader? Netbooks are becoming cheaper and cheaper (much cheaper than readers even then), smartphones are becoming better and better - and those are full-fledged computers."

To this day, I still don't completely know the answer....except what I do know is that a lot of people spend a lot of money on eBook readers.
Perhaps it's something along the lines of facebook chat - just because facebook has it, and ALL your facebook friends are on it doesn't mean people have switched over to it en masse. I still use and prefer many other chat programs - perhaps for stylistic, habitual, or illogical reasons - but significant reasons enough.

To foursquare - I say keep going. At the very least, competition is good, and at best, I think you have a good shot.
Very nice, thanks for sharing! I had been hoping someone would open-source a SE clone for Rails. And double-plus-good for having the feature of importing SE sites right off the bat! I actually hate the limited way SE is using tags, and have wanted to try making my own.
No. The fact that the Moon is in orbit around the Earth means that the pen is in perpetual free-fall. As long as the Moon is in a stable orbit, the distance to the Earth doesn't matter.

Even if, at 200,000 miles, the Earth's gravity was stronger than that of the Moon's, the pen would still fall to the Moon.

Think about it.
If it makes you feel any better, there are approximately 5000 404s in links "in the wild" (according to google crawl error stats) that I have the capability of improving the quality of the redirect for. I may not be able to get 100% accuracy on the redirect, but I can get the user to an issue page of the archive where they can click the story they intended to see. The problem is that there is no metadata associated with those links to get a better idea of what story it was. news1.html isn't terribly descriptive.

To put this in perspective, I get approximately 40000 unique 404s from spiders every day for things that simply don't exist and never did.
This is a huge deal in, say, online publishing because people will openly share their favorite articles and comments.

Furthermore certain kinds of events can be considered "share worthy" and thus be pushed into your friends News Feed by the site in question. Lets say you "recommend" a trailer using the tools on the site -- this is a feature on the site itself, but it can map quite easily to being a new feed worthy item and if you granted the trailer site sufficient permissions when you linked up your FB account via connect, it can push that recommendation into FB without you actually sharing anything explicitly to facebook.

Once inside FB, this sharing of content/events can hitch a ride on the network effect and create a fair amount of incoming traffic. College networks on facebook are really good for this... links to goofy memes, sports articles or political articles can really move through facebook fast.

You might have grown up using "email this article" features on sites like the nytimes, but there are a whole lot of people out there using facebook to accomplish the same thing now.

Not really. If you increase the requirements for entering a profession and limit the supply then you can increase you earning potential by a lot. That trick is highly rational and it works great, just not for you. Because it's not meant to work for you. Monopolies are not put in place for your benefit.

I think the violent regulation is more of a problem than that.
