And, as Nutter points out, the JVM isn't nearly as constrictive to other languages as people seem to think it is, despite being designed only for one language.

So, with everything we've learned about VM design since then, and with the explicit goal of supporting multiple static and dynamic languages, you would think that we could design a pretty good bytecode VM for the browser today. It may not be the ideal VM for every language, but it could probably be ideal for a lot of them, and adequate for the rest. A Dart source interpreter won't be ideal for any of them.

As for their "case for a language VM" i.e. inline code, there's a simple solution to that: support both bytecode and inline code. Source is going to get minified anyway, before it goes into production, so you might as well let them compile it to bytecode. Other languages will support inline code by implementing their compilers for the browser, just like CoffeeScript does.

The only things that surprise me are:

1. Why AOL thought buying TC would turn out any other way (or was a remotely good idea at all); and

2. Just how big of a jackass Arington is. I mean the whole way it's been Arrington cashing out and just sending big FUs to AOL.

TC succeeded at least in part due to timing. The same team won't recreate it's success just by virtue of being the same team. Just look at Engadget and, well, pretty much every other example.

Arrington has a conflict of interest with his Crunchfund. After years of covering startups the armchair quarterback has decided "hey I can do this too!" and starts another quasi-media outlet to pimp his investments. Shocker.

I haven't got any GoDaddy domains so I haven't done it personally, but I think people on the other top story about how to leave GoDaddy had all that solved.

You could use the tools to export all your domains, get the transfer codes, drop those into NameCheap (with the SOPASUCKS coupon) all at once, then go back to GoDaddy and confirm the transfers to avoid a long wait. And they even let you keep the time you had registered.
Straight Proof: Abnormalities in Vitamin B6 Metabolism
Even for the sake of argument assuming legislation is the right answer here:

The problem with SOPA is not so much what can be done to stop "bad guys", but how it can be done, namely without a court order, and only based on "reasonable belief".

It is massively chilling by virtue of causing large liabilities if someone don't act, even if/when they don't or even can't know for sure if the claim made is true, while granting immunity if they do act.

It creates a de facto assumption of guilt by creating a strong incentive to act without evidence of any wrongdoing.
I transferred my domain into Namecheap earlier this year, and the whois states "ENOM, INC."

I think the drug related part has more to do with the fact that you can buy drugs from other country, just like they've forbidden you even buy drugs from Canada online - even if they are good drugs. They just don't want you to use anything that isn't from an American company.

While some online drugs may actually be dangerous to people's health, and it's obviously risky unless you know what you're doing, I think education on this issue would be much more effective than legalizing banning of online stuff.

I mean, people with common sense should already know that they need to be careful what kind of drugs they buy online. I don't think the Government's intervention is mandatory even for that, and just like trying to ban most everything online, it will probably hurt more than help.

Restartable conditions don't require any VM support that isn't also needed for normal exceptions. Even in CL implementations they're simply built on top of the normal non-local control flow construct (throw/catch) and dynamically scoped variables. And the latter are easy to implement in terms of try-finally even if not supported natively.

The tricky bit with restartable conditions is that you need to support them everywhere, or they're pretty useless. So they aren't going to be very interesting in a multi-language environment like the JVM even if they're easy to implement.

'No discussion of "off balance" sheet government obligations, like pensions and entitlements.'

That's because these have an NPV of 3-4 times the GDP but don't actually influence the situation yet. In America a similar situation exists, but less bad.

And frankly, the shear size of these obligations plainly means that there is no western european country that actually intends to pay their people pensions. In western countries, "The working man" pays taxes to the government, thinking they are in fact a loan that will be repaid when said man crosses the age of 65. The government has no intention of repaying these people. So people, live with it : you won't have any pension after 65. You might as well lend 1000 dollars per month to a homeless guy who swears he'll pay 10x as much back to you. In fact, that would actually help the economy, unlike paying the same amount in tax.

Given that they aren't planning to actually pay this money, you could easily make the point that the NPV cost of the pensions is zero.

'Likewise, no discussion of public sector compensation in excess of a position's productivity'

All public sector productivity is, at the very best, zero. At worst, massively negative. This is an evident and well known economic fact. Government is a cost, that is extracted under threat. Whether this means to you "without government (and taxes) you'll get killed in the street" or "phone/roads/education/... service won't exist without govt + taxes" is up to you, but government is always a negative influence on the economy. Therefore, every government employee has a net-negative effect on the economy as a whole.

So what is your suggestion ? Make people pay to be government employees ? The romans actually did that, which means there's a boatload of funny situations this causes. I doubt it was very funny for roman citizens though.

"No discussion of economic growth rates, which expand the amount of debt a country can sustain"

Real economic growth rates have been zero or near zero in most places for half a decennium now. Total amount lent, however, has not.

In the end it's simple : people, in general, have been spending more than they earn. A LOT more. Like a factor 10. What banks do is that through leverage they allow these factors to increase, but the more increased the leverage factor, the more fragile the system. It is near, but still below, the breaking point.

I was pretty surprised to see it used it's own vm when I was rummaging through Gil Megidish's port to JavaScript - http://www.megidish.net/awjs/

There are a few huge base64 encoded data files, and the rest is just the bytecode, and converting the drawing functions to canvas.

I was surprised that "back in the day" you could take the hit of a vm - I always thought you had to get as close to the metal as possible!

I'm not saying that PayPal's account-limiting decisions are always irrational or entirely arbitrary. I am saying that in many cases, where there is no obvious cause, these decisions are based upon criteria largely out of control of the merchant. In the vast majority of these cases, PayPal chooses to close the account and hold the money despite the availability of effective risk-control alternatives that would enable the merchant to continue operating without interruption.

PayPal uses a number of factors to determine the risk associated with particular transactions, and in turn the aggregate risk presented by the receiving account. They look at things like the age of the accounts sending money to the merchant, percentage of foreign transactions, the payment methods used (credit card, instant transfer, paypal balance, etc.), and many other factors. None of these are within control of the merchant. If, in aggregate, these factors happen to fall outside of the the norms, it increases the likelihood that your account will be limited without explanation - regardless of how many faxes you send them and additional hoops you jump through.

While PayPal may in fact have internal data to justify these decisions, they could just as easily achieve the same risk-management goals with far more merchant friendly measures, such as rolling reserves. In far too many cases, they simply close the account and hold the merchant funds for as long as the law allows.

That is my problem with PayPal.
More generally, using DNS service from your domain registrar is risky. Should your registrar have an outage that impacts your DNS, you run the risk of being both without DNS service and without the ability to switch DNS servers or registrars.

My bank is brutal about blocking my card on suspicion of fraud. Only in 11 years, there's never been a fraudulent transaction on that card.

While it very often happens when I try to place an order with companies I order from regularly, what seems to trigger them is not the transaction itself, but that it occurs near in time to another transaction, especially if I've ordered an online service from a company outside the UK (where I live)... Perhaps they didn't get the memo that the internet is international...
That is not particularly rational. It makes moving hosting providers harder and many provide very different dns services. You might want an api or support for different record types that otherwise good hosting services dont provide. I use zerigo just for dns because they are really goid at it...

What I actually meant is that almost all mathematical problems are on some level silly, and most of mathematicians solve them precisely because they find them interesting. In this case the silliness is clearly visible to a layman, but in more abstract parts of math one needs to spend quite a lot of time to understands the underlying concepts.

"You seem to know a lot of stuff about me. I am not particular fond of people who turn their dislike of software I wrote into personal accusations and judging in a public forum." - Lennart Poettering Sep 21, 2008 http://lwn.net/Articles/299615/

For what it's worth, 4 years on I still struggle daily with audio and only audio on Linux. I'm not in a position to tell if it's ALSA or PulseAudio that makes nothing come out unless I plug/unplug, mute/unmute in the correct order everytime I come back from suspend/open a different app/want to use headphones. But I didn't have these problems before Fedora 8 when I was using ESD ;)

And just recently I've resorted to manually starting couchdb in a console instead of using the init scripts on fedora because after upgrading to 15 they do some bad things to file permissions. Is it the distributors fault or is it systemd? Correlation does not imply causation?

Vaclav Havel funeral: World leaders pay respects ~ Daily World News
No indeed, it wouldn't. But there is considerable evidence for the event, some would say overwhelming. There are multiple eyewitness accounts written by different people, sometimes using the same sources, sometimes different ones; disinterested Roman and Jewish historians make mention of it and hostile sceptics of the day mock it as offensive (which of course it is - and still is :)). At no point was this movement stopped in its tracks by the simplest means possible - producing a corpse - and even more incredibly, subsequent claims by followers were conducted in the full glare of publicity, to the point of including famous personalities of the day, even a Roman emperor. If you're going to start a new movement based on a lie, you don't generally include people who have the power to nix your claims in a heartbeat. Not only that but the claims often cost those who were making them their lives. Despite that, it was able to subvert the Roman empire in just a few hundred years.

Archaeology confirms in minute detail that the historical journeys of the early missionaries were as described and one of the authors is called the finest historian who ever lived. Copies of those documents date back to just after the events they described and centuries of banging on them and subjecting them to the closest scrutiny shows that they are as they say they are. Other ancient literature is meager by comparison. We have a handful of copies of Tacitus dated 800 years to a millenium after the events he describes yet no-one sees him as unreliable. Copies of the NT documents number in the thousands, some of which are carbon dated to a few decades after the fall of Jerusalem and all of a sudden they're questionable. Uh huh. Well, we can chuck out most of Roman history and all of Alexander the Great by that yardstick then.

Just what sort of evidence are you looking for?

Are SOPA and Go Daddy causing you trouble with your domains?
why would they be limited to a single box?
How much do the Chinese love their Apple iPads?
So... I know spams bad and all. But what about writing a crawler that sends a single email to the owner of every domain it finds hosted on GoDaddy? Just something that says "Incase you haven't heard, this is SOPA, this is what it means, GoDaddy supports it, this is how to switch if you decide to" type of thing. Sure, it's certainly in a grey area, but even if you could send out 10 million emails and 0.2% actually took action as a result, thats another 20,000 customers.

GoDaddy condoning torture (2005)
Agreed. Banks were previously bailed out on the basis that this would be terrible for the people whose assets/savings were held at banks that failed because they could not return those assets to the people.

But things have changed since then... firstly governments have guaranteed people's assets in the event that a bank fails. In addition some countries took charge of their banks, notably the UK, meaning that at least from a "business as usual" case, it is not inconceivable nor technically impossible to move the accounts from a failing bank into a nationalised bank.

So if the banks were to default now, the situation would be different. The governments could let a bank or many banks fail and with careful management take back control.

One other point is that banks can make very large profits in a very short space of time. LloydsTSB in under six months following the write-down of massive losses in the crisis, made a first quarter profit of 3 billion pounds. I don't know many companies that can turn things around that quickly, but banks regularly do.

This, to my mind, makes it less credible to hold the threat of many banks defaulting over the heads of the governments, and is another reason why I say the governments make the call.
It'd be pretty easy for pg to quote the numbers, like, "With Y Combinator, we've invested in X separate companies with X*n founders, and those companies have gone on to create a total of Y jobs." Just the big-name YC companies like Reddit might be enough to get noticed.

Google refers to V8 as a VM* despite it taking Javascript straight to native instructions with not bytecode or intermediate step being involved anywhere. What makes you think they would mean something else when they speak of a Dart VM? It would serve them absolutely no purpose to load dart (or JS) programs as text, compile that into bytecode, only to then translate that to native instructions. The only advantage would be in the case of having the dart source pre-compiled into bytecode by the programmer -- but at that point you are exposing it for other languages, and it would mean the complete opposite of what this article is saying.

* They even do so on the homepage of the project: http://code.google.com/p/v8/
Oh well, if they're simply Y Combinator employees it's as you say; I read that as if it meant they were a contractor ("the people in charge" vs. "us/we").
