I'm not Miky, but I interpreted his statement to be that doing AI is a whole heck of a lot more complicated than just using an introspective, code-as-data, data-as-code language.

LISP is a hammer in an AI researcher's toolbox. Human-level AI is a monumental skyscraper undertaking. For sure, any construction team would be hard-pressed to build the Empire State Building without the proper tools, but there's a lot more to it than that.

The problem is neither taxation nor spending. It's a failure to correlate revenue to our financial commitments. We will not be able to cut our way to deficit reduction in our lifetimes; there's just too much deficit there. The superstitious belief that we can balance our books by cuts alone (thereby likely throwing the country into a second recession, which would make matters worse) is the real madness in this discussion.
In the screen shot in this article, you see some text with a link "Search instead for 'College or Uncollege?' above the results which takes you to the results for the original query. It's possible that the author didn't notice this though.

The problem is, that in almost all of the west, without government spending, 30% to 50% of society would be in deep poverty. To me it looks like the elite and the government collude to pacate the vast majority of have-nothings. A large percentage of a nation's income lands in the bags of a few thousands. In the mean time the government borrows money from the future in order to pay off the millions who get nothing.
30 year old technology... and a few gravity assists.

Low- and middle-income families pay most of their taxes in the form of payroll taxes, which are a mandatory 15% tax (shared by the employer, who also pays their salary) on all income. Consumption taxes also apply to everyone, and for those who spend most of their income each year, this amounts to at a 5-10% additional tax.

Virtually nobody, with the exception of the very poor who qualify for the EITC, are safe from these tax. The "50% pay no tax" is a right-wing talking point that is intentionally dishonest.
...and slightly off topic.
I have an Expresscard SSD (Filemate 48GB) on my 2007 Core2Duo MBP. I have installed Snow Leopard, moved all the frequently used apps on it but still point to the old home directory on the hard drive.

The SSD gets quite warm easily, but it actually makes my laptop feel snappier than my work laptop (2010 Core i7 non-SSD). A cold boot takes less than 12-15 seconds, most of it trying to read settings from my home folder in the old hard drive. I believe the ExpressCard uses PCI Express interface which is much faster than SATA on older macbooks.

Here are some resources from my bookmarks:

Indeed. The bigest spending areas right now are - our "obligations" in the middle east and stimulus/spending related to the recession. If I had to cut one of those two, I know where I would certainly cut, and it isn't anything domestic.

We should be building infrastructure. I hear a lot in the news about roads/bridges/etc. But, here in CA, after one of the earthquakes a few years ago, the contractor came in way under their time estimate and got a bonus. There is a way to structure infrastructure projects so that they can be more efficient/cost effective. Granted, there does need to be someone who looks at feasability -- a train between norcal and socal makes sense, the bridge that they wanted to build in alaska? Less so.

Another item, and I am being selfish here, that should be put into policy -- the amount of money states "get back" in federal $$ should be closer to what they contribute. This would make it much clearer to states that contribute much less, just how much they are living off the teet of the federal govt and other states in the union.

Unggghhhnnn. 15mb/s for 4k random writes???? Was this a cheap, budget SSD or is there some staggering bottleneck on that particular mac that is bringing it to its knees?

But, yeah, an SSD can breath life into an older mac book. I've got a year-old Vertex 2 on a newer MBP (2009) and I get >200Mb/s for 4k random writes. The 1.5gb vs 3gb connection wouldn't explain the 10x difference.
I like clojure for server-side work, but newLisp is a great counterpart, especially if you've been spoiled by clojure features like implicit indexing and don't want to go back to CL.

The jvm startup time makes clojure unsuitable for quick scripts, but newLisp has no such issue. It's also got enough batteries included that you don't really need to bother looking for libraries when you're doing basic scripting tasks (sockets, http client, file io all built in). Json parsing is a notable exception, but there's a good library out there by Jeff Ober if you google "newlisp json".

Basically, newLisp is my scripting language of choice until self-hosted clojure becomes a reality.

This guide should probably mention that TRIM support is not enabled for after-market SSDs under Snow Leopard or Lion. You are relying completely on the SSD chipset's internal garbage collector to tidy up dirty pages and stave off SSD rigor mortis.

Luckily, the OtherWorldComputing SSD the author chose has a SandForce chipset with a very good garbage collector unlike say an Intel SSD which doesn't. Whether or not the author was aware of that when selecting this particular drive over any other, the guide fails to provide this explanation to the reader.

I've read that the TRIM Support Enabler software will turn on TRIM in Snow Leopard or Lion for after-market SSDs, so Ars might want to check that out and maybe mention it in this guide.

Likewise an investigation into different SSD firmware updaters is probably warranted. Many firmware updaters for SSD drives I looked into will only run in Windows which can be a real pain considering this is a guide for MacBooks.

What strikes me as most odd is the fact that conservative'ŝ constantly point out that 50% of people pay no taxes at all.

They use this figure to illustrate a demand for raising taxes on these people.

I never heard a conservative ask the question: Why are there such large income disparities within our society? And how can we fix them?

The answer would not be raising the taxes on the poorest, but to lift them out of poverty. However, most people know damn well that this would not work without some major adjustments to the way we do business.

Primarily sessions will live in RAM. And I was going to use MongoDB to persist sessions just in case the daemon dies or session is not found in RAM as a fallback. The reason for using MongoDB is because it's my primary database.

But your concern about growing table of sessions is valid, which I will handle by periodically archiving the old sessions so that index sizes remain small.

What is true?

I guess the point being made is that knowledge of the truth starts with knowing i am ignorant, like the beginner's mind, or a childlike curiosity, free of prejudices, a free mind, or to paraphrase Plato "— This man, on one hand, believes that he knows something, while not knowing [anything]. On the other hand, I - equally ignorant - do not believe [that I know anything]." [1]

Be careful who you call a dictator. While Ataturk has been President of Turkey for 15 years (until his death in 1938) he encouraged a multi-party system. However, during his lifetime several parties were formed and again self-dissolved or dissolved after an uncovered assassination attempt on Ataturk. It's only in 1945 - after Ataturk's death - that the multi-party system in Turkey took off for real.

No, but it helps. My grandma says "I'll Google it". In the case of Altavista (yep she already had internet back then), she'd say "I'll try to use the site you bookmarked for me". Reason #1 for her familiarity with Google is the ease-of-use: an obvious box for typing shit, one obvious list for clicking shit, combined into one website for finding shit. But the apparent naturalness of Google as a verb—even in Dutch—makes old (and less old) folks feel like they are with the times. A verbalizable name helps because verbs tend to integrate into everyday talk more easily, whereas nouns always have a sense of otherness attached to them. With a service like search that is so central to the web-experience, you don't want that otherness, but perhaps when you are competing with Google Search it is best to have that sort of distance.

For one of my projects, we took the TOS from a firm that was in the same industry with a similar product and heavily modified it to our needs... removed a lot that didn't apply to our situation and added a few things in the appropriate places.

You may download/view it from here:

Do give it a test out and some feedback perhaps?

Thank you for your time!

In terms of payload, and as someone asked below, "ordinance and yield" Would it actually need any? Smashing mach 20 into a target would yield tremendous kinetic force without explosives.

Same principle as a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railgun where projectiles travel at 5,400 mph, and the gun can be situated on an aircraft carrier.

On that note, the article above mentions railguns as way to launch spacecraft into orbit: applicable for this Mach 20 plane.

There is a useful and effective fiction called "property" that I continue to support. However, when 3% of the people earn 50% of the money, and use this fact to complain about paying 50% of the taxes, then it may be time to demonstrate that this fiction exists only as long as it is mutually beneficial, as opposed to some God given right or a fact of nature.

web.py development has stagnated lately. It's a great framework that many other Python frameworks used as inspiration, such as the webapp framework on Google App Engine and Tornado (and even Flask). However, Flask is more modern, under more active development, and is extensively documented. It's simple to use like web.py, and I would argue it's one of the cleanest Python Web frameworks out there.

He pays 30% income tax, 15% payroll, 15% social security and medicare, then accrue a tax of 30% on his estate. That adds up to 90%. Don't question it.

Or maybe he has untaxed (or lowly taxed) assets that are crashing, and moderately taxed salary. Lose 3 million due to crashing assets (untaxed), make 4 million salary with a 25% tax rate, and your total tax rate is 100%. But that wouldn't be a typical year.

I just quit, should I be worried?
Just quit my dead end 9-5 corporate job to prepare my startup for public beta launch. Was really excited to finally focus 100% on my site then the economic "meltdown" happened two weeks ago. There's no going back since I hated what I'm doing anyways. Some investors who showed interest, seem to be avoiding me. I have some investments in the stock market for my savings that obviously reduced quite a bit...but still have enough to live on a few months.

Everyday we're bombarded with unemployment rates and potential worldwide Armageddon.

Should I be worried right now just in general?
I do agree with you, but I feel I should provide a slight correction. The claim is that 50% of people pay no federal income tax. They still pay payroll tax, state tax, and sales tax. So when conservatives make the '50% claim' they are being fairly deceptive.
Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't considered Redis Cluster, but I definitely will.
Its not a high traffic site, but I'm running a app that served average of 5 req/s with Mongrel2 + wsgid + MySQL + django and thats working pretty well.

Also, the benchmark of Python web servers that gets linked everywhere (http://nichol.as/benchmark-of-python-web-servers) is getting old. I'm planning on doing a new benchmark, probably this coming weekend. As of now, I'm planning to test gunicorn, uWSGI, tornado, bjoern, eventlet, and gevent over HTTP, flup over FCGI, and uWSGI and wsgid over zeroMQ (behind Mongrel2). Thinking of it, I probably need to put all of the HTTP servers behind nginx for a more fair comparison. Am I forgetting any servers that people would like to see benchmarked?

I don't always agree with all of Crockfords opinions (I don't believe the ++ operator to be harmful for example) but I do think that his lectures are brilliant.

In fact, his previous lectures at yahoo somewhere around 2007ish have fundamentally changed how I think about JavaScript: what was bad spaghetti once, became real architecture. What I felt was an ugly language became a cool language with some warts.

Crockfords lectures began a long process to convert me from "who needs functional programming" to "why does this method here have side effects?" (a route many programmers are probably taking, but for me was the beginning of the journey)

And finally, even if you think that you know all about JS, these lectures are still very entertaining to watch, because, IMHO, Crockford is a brilliant speaker.

I've been using DDG almost exclusively for about a year now. Every once in a while I'll do a google search because I can't find what I'm looking for on DDG. This is usually when I'm looking for something local/in a non-english language, or when I'm doing a search for a long string (say a couple of lines from a song lyric).

One of google's biggest advantages -- for me at least -- is its localized URLs. google.co.uk, google.fr, google.de, ... they all boost results in the local language(s) and in the relevant country. There's a way to make DDG act the same way, of course, but it's much easier to just type google.de.

Can you really startup a business in just 54 hours?
There are multiple problems, some of which interrelated.

You could go all the way back to the constitution of the USA. The US has non-compulsory voting, because in theory this ensures only well-informed, conscientious voters turn up. In reality, it leads to pork barrelling. Let's say you are a chicken farmer, in a chicken farming district, and Congress is considering a subsidy (or tax) on chicken farms. You and the boys at the chicken farmer's club have an incentive to mobilize, and try to get people to vote for the party (or candidates) with chicken-friendly views. But the apathetic masses would rather just not vote, because this pork barreling debate will not hurt their wallets that much.

Whereas in Australia (which has compulsory voting), a politician who runs an anti-pork campaign can get a fair bit of support from apathetic voters who don't want to be at the polling booth, but have a sneaking suspicion that government spending is not always wise.
