everyone is not going to keep the persistent block of addresses.

everyone with an AS# and BGP might - same as now for IPv4.

everyone who is single-homed to the same ISP - just might as well, since they will be using provider-assigned space that will be aggregated by their ISP.

I suspect that you interpret the last item as an advertisement that every Joe and his dog will get a PI prefix - I think they won't.

PA vs. PI space is an interesting topic, there is currently a very lively discussion going on in IETF on this:

I will let you take a look at it, and read the data directly from real-world operators.
I live in Spain. From my understanding the ratio of Unemployment rate/GDP is very high because of the construction bubble collapse. That 9.7 increase are 80% because construction industry mainly. This bubble collapse affects much more to the increasing unemployment rate than to the GDP (which also does but less dramatically). That's is because we can't compare the ratios from Spain to other countries in Europe, as we have this additional problem.
My startup is building better displays ads for the web: http://nowspots.com

I agree Its weird that the basic deliverable of an ad unit, a click, hasn't changed in 15 years.
I agree that the internet would be better off if it was more decoupled from monolithic backbones. Even more, the commercialization arguments underway sound a lot like arguments to deregulate housing loans in 1995...I do not think that IP addresses should be controlled by cable and datacenter companies, who have every interest to inflate the prices. And that is what market regulation without any standards or rational planning will result in.

An IP address is a human right on the same order as education and cultural freedom. But I bet that even with v4 people could figure out creative ways to get servers running for a lot more people. Let's not be sensationalist.
Because we get the gist of them; we experience books the way we experience life. We learn from both, regardless of whether we memorize specifics and details.
I have not understood most of it (economics is not my strength and I've got a cold or a flu that gives me a headache) so I'll have to ask.

Could the divergence (or some of it) be explained by the off the books economy that is quite strong here in Spain?

There's plenty of stories of people being "unemployed" but having a job, and employed people with other ways to increase their capital (off-the-books renting, hidden side-jobs, non-declared extra hours,...).

Thanks.
Check out "A Layered Naming Architecture for the Internet". This is the paper we focused on in an Advanced Networking class when we talked about naming. It aggregates several key principles from the literature into one system. I haven't read the RON paper Thomas linked to, but based on a quick glance, I'd say both papers are definitely worth your time. The Naming paper is actually written by several of the same people who wrote or collaborated on RON.

Feel free to drop me an email if you want to discuss the Naming paper.

Look: You need a counselor. A real one, not a pseudonymous virtual person. Please try to find one. Please do not try to get counseling by asking for it at random on the Web, as you are doing now. Not because I mind or anything, but because it is really risky. It is an utterly lousy medium for counseling, and you are at serious risk.

Take your problem more seriously. I like all that you have done so far, but it sounds like you are not out of the woods quite yet.

Depression is a serious disease that many people fail to take seriously. If you were having heart attack symptoms and you asked me for advice I wouldn't sit here advising over the Internet; I'd tell you to seek local medical advice. And here I must do the same. It would be irresponsible to do otherwise.
I'm surprised there is as much interest in this as there is. There is a company often recruiting/advertising around my campus that has been trying to get a Blackberry watch (not just a remote like this) off the ground for a good while now: http://www.getinpulse.com/. Their press seems to be pretty limited in comparison.
I would expect the deadly T-boning variety to decrease

I think this variety of accident happens when the light has been red for quite some time (i.e. more than a few seconds). The people who get tickets (from what I've seen personally, and from talking to police) are people who just missed the yellow light by a few tenths of a second. The latter group are the ones a traffic light cameras are affecting (the ones alert enough to slam on the brakes or speed up). People who run stale red lights (the ones who cause major accidents) are either oblivious to the fact the light is red at all (e.g. drunk drivers), or they don't care (e.g. high speed pursuits).
I disagree somewhat, one of the reason the web is a battle ground of corpses, that where once projects is due to the fact that it became a convoluted mess. The bar to be proficient required HTML, CSS, XML, (JSP, ASP, PHP pick one) generally some frameworks (taglibs, struts, tiles), SQL, Web servers, applications servers, Database servers, CMS servers that double as a bad application server, the list sprawls out from here.

Developers had to master all of this just to put a page together. Technology soup can bloat to the point where it is unmaintainable. When you get into the enterprise you can add MQ, LDAP, SAP, Peoplesoft and a slew of others, that require integration. SOA and ESB's are doing a lot to clean it up and give a single implementation technology but it is still a mess.

Jaguar once had the distinction of being the automobile with the most moving parts, they also had the distinction of being one of the most unreliable vehicles. Technology for technologies sake is always a project killer. I have seen it too many times.

When I take over a troubled project (one of my specializations is troubled project rescue) one of my first efforts is to reduce the amount of technology load the project carries. That coupled with a focus on MVP saves a good deal of projects.
fwiw, all these laptop issues (especially this suspend/resume bug after I upgraded to Hardy) were what convinced me to get a mac. The only people I know with problem-free linux systems are desktop users.

Further the data show that the cameras are correlated with a definite decrease in crashes that are directly attributable to red light running, a definite increase in rear-end crashes, a possible decrease in angle crashes, a net decrease in injury crashes attributable to red light running, and an increase in total injury crashes. More time is needed to determine whether the severity of the eliminated red light running crashes was greater than that of the induced rear-end crashes.
There are some interesting ideas along this same line in this essay/lecture by Douglas Hofstadter:

http://prelectur.stanford.edu/lecturers/hofstadter/analogy.h...
You're looking at this in a wrong way, suggesting you haven't been paying attention to Internet business in the past year.

You're looking at AOL and its acquisitions. Aol is an expanding company with a wide portfolio of content sites that aren't clearly branded but play to a mainstream audience. Aol has a new corporate culture and executives that know what they're doing. The line being toed right now is that they're going to be hands off and TC will just exist, but with more backend support.

Great, whatever.

The first thing you have to consider is in press, the tech niche especially, these sites to make overhead by playing mouthpiece to publicists from well-funded startups intent on buying their way into success.

In the valley, PR people are the second scummiest people--tech recruiters are the worst. Fun fact, when you go to most tech parties in the valley the only hot girls inevitably are PR or TR.

But that's where the money comes from, you play nice with PR puff pieces and you get access. You get access and you get views. You get views and you get paid. Disrupt that chain and you can't hire people to write. This has been the problem with journalism since the first cave man went outside the cave, saw a dinosaur, and had to come back to report to others.

So with Aol onboard, sales targets to hit, with share-holders to be accountable to, will TC be beholden to PR more or less?

My optimist side says less, because MA and crew can now focus less on tech BS and ad sales to write better stories. But my realist said says more. Because money is good and even when you try hard there's only so many stories that's interesting, so hence excess churn.

It doesn't really matter. There's enough competing sites and re-telling of the same stories.

The article is from 2004, so it doesn't mention modern features like generator expressions, context managers or co-routines (PEP 342). I suspect it was upvoted so much mostly because of the SICP reference.

Am I the only one who feels the whole egoless programming thing has gone too far? Yeah, ego is a bad thing. But self-esteem and confidence aren't. I'm not afraid to say that I feel I'm good at what I do.

That doesn't mean I'm never wrong or that I don't make mistakes. It just means I'm proud of my abilities.
All in all, answers to problems like this become very obvious once we separate our so-called conscious mind and the inner subconscious zombie that in fact does most of the mentally/bodily processing.

For example:

1. Do you know all your vision can "physically" see at any moment is only about a thumbnail's size at an arm's reach, yet your inner zombie construct a vivid 3D environment.

2. What if I lower your house's keyhole by 2"? You would still reach for the old spot then realize something is wrong. But who's remembering the old location? Not your conscious self (otherwise every moment you type a key you have consciously validate). The memory keeper is your inner zombie.
Looking at the diagrams again, I suppose such an interpretation is possible. I still maintain that the diagram is ambiguous due to the mains connections being left out entirely.
Google Street View Comes To Antarctica

1. I would leave them open for now. Unless you are being overwhelmed by the chore of dealing with comments, they provide a good way for your readers to offer feedback.

2. Having 100 entries per screen seems like a bad idea to me. I would set it to 10, maybe 15 max. The issue isn't so much the load time, but the sheer intimidation that this much visible content provokes.

3. Most blogging platforms don't have a "Table of Contents" by default. Just treat the tags as categories for the convenience of browsing users. For example, business, ruby, python, life-lessons.

4. The title is fine.

5. More value:

(a) Posting original content rather than comments from elsewhere. There are exceptions, but generally the comments require further context to be really understood.

(b) Occasionally writing more substantial posts. For myself, I find that an outline really helps pull these together. It also has the benefit of breaking the post up into subsections for easy reading.

(c) Use thematic images. Dosh Dosh is a master of this: http://www.doshdosh.com/twitter-marketing-mass-follow-users/

(d) Take a notebook with you everywhere. If you have an idea for a post, jot it down, perhaps with a quick outline so you don't lose the details. I often find that my best ideas come during a jog.

(e) Respond to other interesting blog posts. A good argument is a great way to create compelling content and grow a blog.

(f) Study both popular blogs, as well as blogs you admire, and figure out what makes them compelling to you and their audience. Then go forth and do likewise.
I remember no names at all from most books. I don't think of it as important, I guess. I also have no idea what most book characters look like, I generally ignore the author's descriptions in my memory.

The bevel of the iMac has the same thing. The new design was touted as much thinner than the old one (the white plastic version), where in fact, it was much thinner on the edges but about otherwise.
I agree 100%, and to add on: I think it has to do with the context of those key ideas or phrases. You could simply tell a child that "the Boy Who Cried Wolf is about a boy who kept lying then got eaten by a wolf because no one believed him when he was telling the truth." But largely, the message would be lost.

Without the context of the rest of the story, getting the child emotionally involved, getting the child to see the short term benefits, the impact of reading about how the kid gets eaten when he finally does see a wolf, tells the truth, and no one believes him is greatly diminished.

Studies have shown that people remember how facts/events/information makes them feel more accurately than the specific facts/events/information, and I think the idea of context is similar. You remember the emotions you felt when you read a story about X action, you remember the context of your emotions, even if you don't remember the specific cause.

I think that's spot on. My neuorimaging research has examined how the meaning of words are represented in the brain. Quite literally, words and their relationships to experiences, and each other, shape how we think. Mentalese may not be purely linguistic but the language we use reflects how our minds work. With and through language we rise above experience to penetrate beyond what our senses tell us and build realities independent of sensation.

Lawyers are lawyerly because they've trained their brains. That may seem tautological, but it's a gradual, continuous process. Yet, even long after we seem like we're done learning, traces of child-ish thought remain under the surface of everyday abstract concepts.

Not really. The license has a very specific clause that makes the conversion seamless. Once you trigger it, you have a clean corporation, with shareholders (the founders). That is very compatible with regular angel or VC investors.

Do we know if the suggested results are based on search frequency or revenue maximization? -- i.e. if I type in "plan my" will it suggest "travel" above "vacation" if the PPC/CTR on the ads for "plan my travel" generate more $s than "plan my vacation"?

That seems like a much more clever optimization than stealing screen real estate. The other optimization to this is if they can guide users to a smaller list of common search phrases they can drive up the prices for them -- a fragmented list of search phrases is very bad for Google.

It's the difference between recall and recognition. In general, everyone is better at recognition than recall. The joy in watching movies over and over again, could be:

There is something in the specifics (fine details that typically splits through the gaps of someones recall/recognition) that brings great joy. Others enjoy looking for things they may have missed. Others wait long enough for the recognition to fade enough in between viewings.
I might have heard it before -- I was trying to distinguish from any kind of green arrow.
Are you sure you don't have a goal? Even just improving yourself as a writer counts as a goal, and in that case you can't beat forcing yourself to blog once a day. Writing something publicly is sort of like launching your startup, the fact that it's out there where everyone can see it makes you work on quality.

As for specifics:
1. Why? Eventually readership may increase. Comments are what makes blogging worth it, until you get enough users that the comment section turns to shit.
2. Because a lot of people read on mobile devices over a 3g connection, not to mention it just looks much better.
3. Lame. Use them as categories. Helps readers when they're looking through your archives 2 years from now.
4. Perfectly fine. Name's essentially irrelevant, and campy humor isn't bad by any stretch.
5. Blog a lot. Don't stop. I did it every day for about 4 years, sometimes twice. Didn't turn me into Dickens, but I now am comfortable at least. I attribute most of my success in life to the communication skills I gained from it.
Maybe, but there a one or two movies I like watching so much I can repeat the lines verbatim. So I don't think its just having bad memory which would allow others to watch and enjoy a movie multiple times.
I've always found it funny that advertisers swear by CTR as much as they do. It's almost as if they completely forgot the last few decades of television advertisement. For television, no one gives a damn if a viewer goes out to buy the product right that instant. It's all about repetition and building psychological reinforcements so that once the viewer actually needs something along the lines of what that product offers, they subconsciously lean towards that specific product as opposed to its competitors.

Granted, it's a lot easier for someone to just click some text from their computer than to get up in the middle of a show and drive to a store, but the same essential theory still applies. Which is why I don't understand how CTR is valued so highly over impressions.
Funnily enough, I feel more this way about food than books. I absolutely despise spending money on food because you eat it, and then it's gone! At least books are free via library and I enjoy them more.
