He rather defeats his point at the last by pointing out that subcultures that specifically deny artificial or damaging fitness indicators would then take over. It seems unlikely that some few out of billions wouldn't make a different choice, and pass that choice on to their children.
I'm curious what the technology behind it is. There have been some standards based things recently (VXLAN) as well as some non-standards based (OTV, F5 DCI).

It sounds like VXLAN. VXLAN in short is encapsulating a L2 packet inside a UDP-VXLAN packet and then using multicast to route the packet to multiple switches. The same concepts of subnets still exist, it's just hacking together multiple L2 domains by multicasting between configured switches. The VXLAN header allows for identification between the different networks to specify which actual VLAN it should be mapped to. What's interesting is there are more potential VXLANs than multicast addresses so there is not a mapping between multicast address and VXLAN. As well, the actual VLAN the messages are sent to don't need to match on the other side of the VXLAN.

This is all of course assuming Amazon didn't homebrew their own L2 over L3 extension protocol. VXLAN shows promise, so it would be cool, but it is layered with multicast and broadcast complexities.
Thanks for this! Way better explanation than the blog post :)

I thought Max Tegmark's commentary on why we haven't discovered extraterrestrial life yet was reasonable: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GctnYAYcMhI

Basically he purposes that there is either a barrier somewhere before our point of biological progress or after; as he explains in the video, the desired reality is that we have already surpassed that barrier. He reasons that space travel is a simple engineering challenge compared to evolving intelligent life on the cosmological scale, so there's less reason to believe the barrier lies after our point of progress.

Girl Seeing You Or Not:: 5 Reasons For You
You know, I'm getting pretty sick of all of these "doom and gloom" stories about the modern higher education system.

Yes, the modern higher education system is not ideal. But what, in life, really is? That's not to say that we shouldn't pursue a better system, but we shouldn't give up on a system just because it's not ideal.

And with all of these doom and gloom stories, I have yet to see anyone offer an alternative. Yeah, there's a lot of paperwork involved in being a professor, and you get evaluated on criteria that don't quite line up with the ideal for being a great professor. But what would be better? How can we create a better system? And if there's such an obvious better answer, why doesn't someone do it?

If there is some obviously better system, I'd love to see it. If such a thing exits, it should be quite competitive with the current higher education system. No one wants to hire incompetent new graduates. No one wants to be one. So we should see something better, something that indicates there is some better way of doing this.

Instead, we see a steady stream of technological progress. I can do things that no one could do before, like carrying a device around that allows me to pinpoint my precise location, stream maps down to me, find me directions to wherever I want to go, read those directions aloud in a synthesized voice, all for the price of of 2% of median yearly income (including hardware, software, and the service). And that, of course, is not to mention all of the other things that are available to me.

Now, maybe I'm living in a bubble, built by people who got a proper education before all of this grade inflation and other nonsense. But really, this article is complaining about the last 20 years. A large portion of the people who are doing work in technical fields finished school within the last 20 years. And yet, we're still seeing significant progress; we are still living in a world that is tumbling into the future at a high rate.

So I want to know two things. For one, why are we still progressing so quickly, despite these apparent problems? How are we managing to innovate, if our educational and academic foundation is so unsound?

And for another, what is the solution? What do you propose we do better? If it's so much obviously better, why don't we do it? Or why doesn't someone, somewhere do it, and show significantly better results?

I think one reason is that when you are doing work in the top few percent of human ability, you look around and realize how ordinary it is. Even being at the top, everyone has their flaws. No one is perfect. Systems designed to prevent people from cheating also prevent some people from doing amazing work. But overal, it isn't a few geniuses at the level of "Mozart" that we need; it's a lot of people, doing work at a high level, but not what some might consider "genius." If you are immersed in it seems somewhat boring, but when it all adds up, it winds up opening new possibilities that were simply not available 10, 20, or 30 years ago.

There's a huge difference between a personal voucher and a opinion randomly solicited off LinkedIn. The latter might nix some candidates, but is probably not very useful in determining the best ones.
One reason I've read about is that when you consider humanity we were only broadcasting radio communication for a sliver of our history before we started using buried cables as a way to facilitate communication. The theory is that other civilizations would figure out the same thing and there is a limited window of time to intercept their radio communication.
I think we haven't met any Aliens because we're selfish, paranoid, violent, irrational, un-evolved monkeys with baseball caps and video games and nobody wants to make friends people who happily destroy their environment [and therefore themselves] because it's easier than cleaning up their mess. Our major societies are full of petty, self-serving, closed-minded assholes and i'm a perfect example of that.

The technology-enslavement theory is bunk because humans pretty much tend to self-correct over time. We start destroying the environment, somebody notices, we start pulling back on our rampant destruction enough to keep things operating. An epidemic of fat kids goes on, people start complaining, and schools begin the process of sort-of making their lunches healthier. If it got so bad that we almost destroy ourselves from too much internet use somebody would start complaining and we'd reign back on that too.

Probably the real reason we haven't met any is that they probably have agreements that they don't come down and show themselves to new planets until the new planet's peoples advance their space technology to an appropriate level; ours is still kind of dark-ages technology. Maybe after the military invests we can have a nice big boom in space travel.
Half way through the article I was in a bit of agreement with the writer about how our need for immediate gratification is so easily satisfied by the virtual supplements we get everyday and how it weighs us down overall as a society of humans; but all of a sudden he moves to assumes that people who are classified as religious fundamentalists, for some reason, seem to have figured it all out! Clearly the author is contradicting himself here. It is very unlikely (I would say impossible, but there's always an outlier somewhere) that someone who happens to be a religious fundamentalist would also not have delusions of "fitness-faking". What a terrible end to an article that could have been such an awesome topic of discussion.
Interesting point. Based on what the author of this post is saying I wonder if the average human were given the option to enter a virtual reality where they could set the parameters to whatever they want would people know the difference or even care to find out? If you could have any beautiful woman you want, a great body, and great financials who would want to leave that fantasy?

I think Python's is deliberately unexpressive, forcing you to use local variables pretty much everywhere. This tends to decouple stuff, which is usually good. The model is "everything you do is local, unless you know better, and want to jump through a lot of hoops". Coffeescript works a similar way.

Javascript seems to have the model "everything you do is global, unless you know better".

I'm not a big Javascript hater, but this is one very sore point.
I was selected on a jury once, but only just barely. It was a drug-related case, and the defense attorney challenged the prosecution, who had made a peremptory challenge to remove me from the jury.

His argument was that I was the only one even close to the age of the defendant left on the jury, and that by removing me he would be removing all of the defendant's "peers." (He was young; I was young.) The prosecutor withdrew his challenge, and I stayed. Funny thing was, I was pretty anti-drug at the time, so it could have backfired.

But I ended up being the jury foreman and we acquitted without much debate after someone decided to ask if anyone in the room actually thought he was guilty. They didn't really have anything on the kid; the trial was a total waste of taxpayer's money.

But you have an excellent point: If anyone writes online about supporting jury nullification, odds are good they'll get a challenge-for-cause any time they're in jury selection. At least if they're easily traced by name to those comments.
This is how web design should be presented
I agree with kenjackson. Me checking on an employer is worlds away from an employer coldcalling my contacts without informing me. A company isn't a person so I can check on the company. A company checking on the applicant without notifying them is a dealbreaker.
My theory is that we haven't met aliens yet because the aliens have been to earth sereptitiously, have taken some DNA samples, and have decided there's nothing to be gained from making contact with us. They've told everyone else in the universe that the planet is hostile and not particularly technologically developed. They have also noted that it is not a threat just as long as they don't get advanced space travel technology. The best way to keep them from getting advanced space travel technology is to not communicate with them and thus leave them to their own devices. Additionally, based on the alien's models of planetary development, they have come to the conclusion that our civilization will not develop decent space travel before it collapses due to natural resource depletion.

The universe is a big place. There are probably trillions of habitable planets. We're just not that special. Maybe one day, if we somehow become "worth it", they'll stop by.
Doesn't matter because your job history is on your resume. Even if you aren't on LinkedIn, it can be used to dig up former coworkers.
Ouch man, that doesn't sound too good. It's not like that everywhere, sounds like you are stuck in a bad place. Really you might want to look around a bit and considering changing shops. Your post, which I feel great empathy for, hits me like hearing a kind woman say that she is resigned to the fact that all men beat their wives.
At some point in the article he states:

Evolution simply could never have anticipated...

Evolution, by definition, doesn't anticipate anything. It's disappointing to see a university professor writing on evolution who seemingly doesn't even understand the evolutionary process.
Inter-planetary travel is probably to big a problem to say that if not for our consumerism habits getting in the way we would have colonized some other planet already.
I'm not sure they deserve to be called 'shitheads' either - I do like the service - but I'm still disappointed in how poorly they've handled their security issues, particularly the one back in June.

I think I'd have a different opinion if they'd bothered to reply to any of my multiple emails to them at the time.
While the stock situation leaves a bad taste in the mouth, I think it's a huge stretch to say it affected the IPO at all. It only concerned a small number of early executives, and those kinds of uncomfortable situations occur in almost every large company. The only difference is that Zynga's were aired publicly during a time when they were under intense scrutiny.
I think the most likely answer is either:
a) Same reason we don't SMS other species on earth - we're first, and if anyone else catches up it'll be a long time from now

b) We can't begin to conceive of the sort of technological advances achieved by other lifeforms. The fermi paradox rests on probabilities accumulated over billions of years, but ignores how briefly human intelligence has existed - the written word is only a few thousand years old. If your species advances to the point of being able comprehend and control all of reality, is there much point in having endlessly bigger LCDs powered by your awesome discworld, built by your giant starfleet? Is our faith in the inevitability of endless growth and expansion not itself a sort of primitive cargo cult?

If the entire process of going from advanced social being with primitive tools and language to a post-physical singularity takes on average 50,000 years, the drake equation need changing

That's true. I mean, what if our 5 senses just can't pick up on other, radically different types of life. And whatever life forms may have visited us may not have the senses to pick up that we're here.
That is surprising, as I have data points that show people prefer clicking "least difficult", or "most popular" vs search or an alternative categorical method. I really think it comes down to context. You use the phrase "interesting size" and that is relevant, as I only consider sorting of stuff that is generated by a human, not humankind. I fully accept the interface should be different for human data versus humankind data. I think google products often assume every list is infinitely long, and it can lead to poor interface choices.
Let's see: LiMux was based on Debian Etch (2007) until 2011, when it was moved over to Ubuntu 8.10 (Oct 2008); AzLinux, the sole survivor of similar attempts, is based on Suse 11.2 (2009) and only moving towards 11.4 (2011), but it's still in development. For the record, Windows XP SP3 was released in April 2008. So, "a decade old" OS (2008 in fact) is being replaced by basically OS from the same time period over the course of 8 years and is still in progress. I'm sorry, if I don't think it is impressive.
> If 2.6 million americans wish to use some wacky "Direct Connect" or "Darknet" or "Unregistered Usenet" system - have at it. You are round off error.

Then those 2.6 million people give physical copies to their friends and you're back to square one. That same theory has been trotted out every time someone has a new anti-piracy technology and wants people to believe that this time, it will work. Every single thing has failed..

Most people aren't very good at cryptography. But it only took a few people to write DeCSS and a few more to run it, then everyone had DVD rips. Same for BDs, same for video game copiers especially back when they were cartridges instead of DVDs. Same for everything else.

The same exact story has been repeated over and over. Why do you think it will be different this time? Do you think it will be more successful because the government is calling the shots now?

This is completely legitimate, right? There must be a most advanced civilization. Why can't we be it?

I certainly don't know the whole story but the acquisition rumors seem very un-Apple-like. The hardest things about DropBox are acquiring users and paying for servers, two things Apple would not need to worry about (I know the technology is difficult, too, but am assuming Apple could figure it out).
True, but if these super-advanced aliens are populating many planets, then we'd presumably be able to detect them somehow, irrespective of whether they care about us.

It may be electromagnetic leakage or Dyson spheres or any of a number of other signs of artifice.
I hope you mean by live, that it's just for testing purposes. Because that's all it's suppose to be for. But i agree, this will be nice to be able to develop something on your own machine or whatever and then transfer it over to the actual web server by whatever means.
here is an even easier way: sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
No. That's the crux of the complaint. In plain Javascript, you can use "var x" to scope x to the current scope (and in 1.7, you can use 'let' to scope to the current block, not just to a function), but there's no corollary in Coffeescript, since Coffeescript manages scoping for you automagically. It's a convenience 99% of the time, but the 1% of the time that it's not, it's a giant pain in the ass. If there were something like var/let/local, you could solve the problem manually, but as the Twitter exchange indicated, there is no plan to add it.

The solution/workaround is "use descriptive names and avoid polluting scopes", but the reality of software development is that you're eventually going to cross those wires, and it's going to make you crazy until you figure out what happened.
In case you have any problems rendering the inline gist here is a link to the gist on github: https://gist.github.com/1508038
Possible answer: First nearly every civilization that mastered, say, radio, did it millions of years ago. Second, nearly every such civilization long ago found much better means of communications than we know about. Third, they realize that trying to communicate via radio is silly and use much better means we don't know about. Net, they are out there and communicating, but we don't hear them and they don't hear us or bother with us. To hear us, they would have to be within 100 light years, and that's not far enough to cover many candidate planets.

Could a "Bear Raid" have caused the '08 market crash?
Yeah. Can't handle 14 million blocks as the original game (frameskip starts going through the roof after 400 blocks). Doing this requires a lot more tinkering, and I've got some great feedback on how to do this.
Perhaps life is common (happened about a billion years ago here), but intelligent life is not (about 100,000 years ago, give or take).

Perhaps without FTL drive, it takes what explorers there might be a long time between (expensive!) visits, so sightings are rare. Without FTL, and without some kind of cold-sleep, a journey to the nearest stars pretty much takes a lifetime. A few would go, but not many.

It's too late (bedtime) for me to slap "Drake's equation" type numbers on this, but hopefully you get the idea. Maybe we've not seen anybody because they only visit any given planet every million years or so, and "they" equals 2 or 3 species local enough to even bother with that paltry schedule.

I'm not saying there is anybody out there, just that lacking pure freaking magic technology, it's a hell of a trip to make if they were. OTOH, if there is an outpost 100 light-years away, expect a visit in another 100 to 1000 years???

Seems that they found Google to be a better end-user experience for email and for casual calendar users, but Microsoft won out on power calendar users and in terms of legal/compliance issues. Doesn't seem clear to me why they chose Google here -- costs?
The issues around significant white space are well known and well blogged about, I'm not going to re-argue them here; google it you must, it's an old argument. If it doesn't bother you, so be it, but you're not going to sell me on it because it's crap; I can't stand Python.

If you don't think it has ever caused bugs, then you aren't thinking very hard or you've not looked into the opposing point of view at all. In any case, I'm done discussing it with you.

Ha ha only serious? "Mostly harmless" as it says in the guide...
Primordial soup is interesting. If we had any of it to study, we'd have hundreds of postdocs studying it right now, as we have lots of labs studying all sorts of things that are not obviously useful.

Any species that didn't have intellectual curiosity about things that aren't obvious useful would probably never make it off its home planet. A lot of the math and science that underlies stuff we use every day didn't seem useful when it was developed - see, for example, the theory of computation, worked out when there were no computers, and without which there probably still wouldn't be any computers.
