Are you really that unaware of how taxes work? Have you never paid taxes before? He's not being taxed at a certain rate because he's rich. The taxes are for capital gains income. If you as a middle class person, or someone on welfare had 100k shares of FB stock, they'd be taxed at the same 15% as if a billionaire had them. If a billionaire went out and earned their income with a job paid at $10m cash a year... then guess what? They're going to pay the same 35-38% rate on that income that you would pay. Its not about the wealth, its about how its made. If you really are concerned about wealth, try to figure out how the system works first before criminalizing those who have
That's fine, but then it also reduces the addressable market for Facebook's advertising offerings.

And lets face it, things don't look good if both GM and an independent business don't have enough of a clue to do a successful FB marketing campaign at this late date.

This service looks great, seems to be just like Graphite feature-wise, but without the clunkyness. The problem is that the pricing makes absolutely no sense and is hard to estimate.
TBH I find myself enjoying TeamSpeak quite a bit.

I've set up a private server and it's really nice. First of all you can record voice conversations. Secondly it offers chat between users and between channels.

I find that voice communication is really effective, but having the ability to say "Hold on, let me send you this link!" is also crucial.

From a marketing perspective, its probably a case of tailoring messages to audiences.

Non-programmers will likely not be poking around on Google's engineering blogs, and will pick up the Press Release that will have been pushed to the likes of CNN and the BBC.
For small apps, no.

For complex ones yes. The actual code shared may not be that much, but consider the advantages in sharing validation code between the client and server -- you never accidentally forget one requirement on the server side, leaving you vulnerable to an attack.
This is actually a very interesting point. But it's not industry wide in this case, meaning that some of the top firms have pretty awesome sites, so that's what got me curious.
How To Change Your Facebook Theme
I think Google bought a company related to this technology 2-3 years ago. It's not like they saw Bing's Facebook integration last week and then decided to do this.
On Becoming a Thing
Yes, and I - for one - am not convinced that that approach has been proven wrong so much as it just hasn't been realized yet, for whatever reason. If I had to guess, I'd say that "whatever reason" is some combination of not having sufficient hardware, and not fully understanding knowledge representation and reasoning algorithms well enough yet.

Of course I could be wrong, but I think there's a good chance that a lot of "Good Old AI" stuff is still valid, but that it was just too early for it then. Maybe it still is, time will tell.
npm is awesome, this direct import doesn't seem like a feature, more like a lack of a feature.
I am another Colemak user. I use a Truly Ergonomic keyboard on my desktop, and having to look at the keyboard because of the odd placement of enter, tab, quotes, etc. absolutely kills my throughput compared to my laptop.
I hit this a while ago. The first thing I tried to install failed, because it depended on something that depended on something that moved its repository location (renamed itself from foo.go to foo).

It's a convenient hack but nothing more.
Here's one I noticed: I have a small app running on 2.0.1 and there are _two_ prealloc.X files in the journal directory, each one is 256mb. Not quite 3GB unless my math is wrong. (There's a third file in the directory named `j._0` which is also 256mb)
The amount of traffic has nothing to do with it.

A crud app would properly share relatively little code between the server and the client. A multiplayer game would share much, much more.
Alternatively, there's an argument that one should not validate on the client to avoid this exact scenario (split-brain validation).
Yeah, I agree, I'm using node right now to build a big web game and there are huge benefits to being able to run the same code on the sever and client.

I wouldn't use node if it wasn't for this because I don't particularly like javascript.

All my other games have used Python on the back end and you can really feel how clunky and painful javascript is when you have to switch between the two five times a day.
That can work better than just Skype, but I guess I don't generally see the benefit. As long as all parties are chat-fluent (I've worked with some people who aren't, and then it can be painful, like IMing with my parents), I find IRC discussions better than Skype. Especially true if three or four people are participating; conference calls are much harder to demultiplex, at least for me, with all this time wasted on people accidentally speaking over other people, asking for something to be repeated, etc., etc. And with text, you can grep the logs, too!
I don't know what textbook you're using, but I've never heard of entrapment requiring (or even involving) conditioning.
That is very probably true.

I also think that the stage of the VC plays a big role here. Usually early stage VCs are the ones that will be the most involved in product, and also given their abundance at the moment, they need to "show off" that they know what they're talking about.

Late stage VCs add value in a very different way, operations, sales, finance, etc. and thus have absolutely no idea nor interest on how to create a compelling website.
I don't know about VC, but people says you can judge how successful a contractor is by its website; successful one usually has crappy/nonexistent website.
Check out stuff like meteor or firebase. They barely even differentiate btwn client and server code.

Rolling your own framework based on the same ideas is not hard.
An alternative: use an embedded Common Lisp and connect to it via SLIME from Emacs. Thus you could build an environment in Emacs for controlling the App and download/executing Lisp code inside the App.
The author is not arguing whether there can be a server-side framework using a dynamic language like Javascript. Obviously there can, just like there is RoR, Django and others. His point is that the Node community came to such a point where they think Node is a silver bullet that can solve scalability issues just by itself.
Google search ads are really not in the same business as most traditional advertising. Traditional advertising wants to create desire, and inform people. You take a lot of people and show then things they might be interested in, and hope some of them spend money. What Google search ads do is trafficking intent. Think queries like "cheap hotels in Florida", which clearly communicate that the customer is willing to spend money.

They find customers who want something specific, businesses who will sell them that, and make them meet. And then give the people who sell very good analytics that show exactly how much value they are getting, so they can bid up each other for the ads until Google captures almost all the value. During the housing boom, some mortgage-related keywords climbed into mid three figures. That is, each and every time someone searched the matching keywords and clicked on an ad, several hundred dollars changed hands.
One side effect of creatives getting a lot more... casual... in their naming schemes: blocked by the corporate proxy.
I'm on the outside, I don't know any of these firms. If this is how important they think experience is, I don't want to work with them.
Are there any recommendations for the maximum size of a data set used with Simperium? It looks like the perfect solution for a back office app for a small business, but I'd like to know if I will be running into a brick wall at some point.

Clients will be iOS and Mac OS X only, using Core Data.

Thanks.

I read at some point that a lot of interesting theoretical AI research was abandoned in the 80s, because the results (like expert systems) got good enough that they had commercial applications, and the focus changed from research to perfecting existing products. No idea if that's true, but it suggests that there might be room to pick up where people in the 80s left off. Especially given that computing resources and data archives are somewhat improved since then.
you know what both platforms are great, I'll use them both thank you.
Don't worry much about node, Twisted still beats it for async workloads and PyPI is still much bigger than npm.
The point of Node is that it uses JavaScript, and browsers only speak JavaScript. You have three choices: (1) use Node, (2) duplicate code client- and server-side, or (3) use server-side code that compiles to JS. Right now 3 is the least popular (and 2 is the most) but I think it will end up being the accepted solution in a couple years.
I'd say thank Metaweb as it seems to be building directly upon their ideas. I'm not sure how much Bing has pressured Google to innovate in the search space (though I think Bing has got Google thinking more about design).
What makes you think that isn't a toolbar users token?

I tracked down an issue with a friends (poorly written) shopping cart software duplicating a users order because Googlebot had crawled the users checkout session URLs in order. In that case I believe they were looking for differences in page responses to users and crawlers to detect cloaking (but that is just a theory for the behavior)
If I wanted a specific tag or release, I would just download that revision in the GOPATH directories, and refer to the package directly, instead of through the github URL.

Why not validate on both? Validate on the client to give a nicer and quicker notice if something is wrong (good UX) and then validate on the server for actual security.
I assume there will be a description of what this means in layman's terms forthcoming on groklaw. But until then can someone here explain? grellas?
"I believe AI has an opportunity to achieve a true breakthrough over the coming decade by at last solving the problem of reading natural language text to extract its factual content. In fact, I hereby offer to bet anyone a lobster dinner that by 2015 we will have a computer program capable of automatically reading at least 80% of the factual content across the entire English-speaking web, and placing those facts in a structured knowledge base."

Locking in particular has improved substantially since 1.6. For example, 2.0 introduced yielding in some cases where MongoDB would go to disk rather than page-faulting with the lock held[1]. This has been extended and improved for 2.2, along with increasing the granularity of the lock from process-wide to per-db. There are plans to increase the granularity further in future releases.

A piece of the embarrassment of a number of "Google killers" has been the claim to supply something better than search. It will be interesting to see how Google itself looks under the kind of scrutiny that sort of claim inevitably brings.

Google is sitting on an enormous pile of semantic data that dwarfs anything that any AI project could possibly use 20 or even 10 years ago. Of course it does not guarantee that they won't fail as well, but it sure gives them an edge.
HTML5 a panacea.
I'm fully aware of how this stuff works. The fact of the matter is that wealthy people are likely to obtain the vast majority of their income from capital gains, and middle class people are likely to obtain the vast majority of their income from labor. Thus, by taxing capital gains less, you wind up taxing the rich less. No, it's not written into law that way, but that's how it works out.

If you want to continue the discussion, do you think you could try to do without the personal attacks? They're very irritating and completely uncalled for here.
Excel files are simply zip files with XML in them.
You can compile Go to js with gwt. You can reuse code that way. I personally even reuse Java code between Android, front end Web and server. Because of gwt.

I don't think there are many people who choose js because they like it. It's usually because they feel forced. Javascript is a terrible language, I always prefer one of the compilers.

Dart can't come fast enough.
To avoid a split-brain validation scenario.

Update your model? Don't forget to update your validation in both the client and server. Otherwise, you'll validate something on the client but not the server (bad UX), invalidate something on the client but not the server (bad UX), or corrupt your data slowly when validation entirely fails (bad UX).

Since it's a pain in the ass to remember to update two places when you make a change, you're seeing people make ridiculous leaps of programming ingenuity by choosing a server-side language that allows them to not have to update two places at once, and Javascript absolutely sucks for server programming. Every time I have to do any client-side Javascript I, quite literally, hate my life. People that love Javascript and want to apply it to everything have arguments about the stupidest things, like using semicolons, which is telling about how awful of a programming environment it can be.

Easier: Just don't validate on the client, and make a round trip. If you're doing mobile or on a high-latency link, there's an argument for doing client-side validation but then you just need the discipline to update both sides at once, which hopefully integration tests should help with.
It works very well for me. If I want someone to install a Go program I've developed, in Ubuntu 12.04 they can just:

$ sudo apt-get install golang

That's it, and it takes a few seconds.
True. Effective communication is just as important as writing good and maintainable code in my opinion.

The timing of this is interesting. I can't help but think that traditional higher-learning educational institutions will wholeheartedly back this bill as they see this as a way to bolster enrollment in their graduate programs.

Certainly makes it more attractive to earn a graduate degree in the US for foreigners now. The only question is whether ANY STEM degree qualifies, or whether this is for 'select' institutions.

I live in Belgium and all supermarkets I know of take credit cards. Maybe we don't agree on the definition of supermarket (to me it means something like Wal-Mart; in Belgium: Carrefour, Champion, Colruyt, ...), but I'll say that if it has a parking, then it most probably takes credit cards.
I recall reading about this initiative, a year or so ago. I'm most disappointed to read of its impending demise -- especially considering the relatively (if not absolutely) small dollar amounts involved.

It seems that a few or even a single well-endowed donor might easily keep it afloat, and I'm mindful of this perhaps not per chance comment within the article:

That frustrates Partensky, who grew up in the Soviet Union and says he relates to Afghans discovering the outside world for the first time.

P.S. Or a fundraiser of some sort. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position myself to start one. But it seems like the kind of project that plenty here and elsewhere would kick into.

Although I suppose there are challenges with any sort of donations to that part of the world, these days. (E.g. not running afoul of inadvertently/indirectly being viewed as supporting the/a wrong party.)

Yes, but the "web of knowledge" folk were planning (ish) hand-added metadata to allow knowledge extraction by AI programs, with no real incentives or network effect to promote people doing that. Google got microdata (which are semantic annotation, if a lot less complicated than the old schemes) added to websites by saying they would include them in Pagerank calculation.
If the judge rules that APIs are copyrightable, then a new jury will be necessary, so they will decide the damages on the non-API infringement which has already been found. If he rules that APIs are NOT copyrightable, then he will decide the statutory damages for the non-API infringement, rather than bothering with a jury. Statutory damages are limited.

There are basically two things to watch for at this point:

- the jury's verdict on patents (currently deliberating)

- the judge's ruling on API copyrightability (probably a week or two out).
AddThis now supports Web Intents
Ooh, profanity! Does that mean you're extra edgy?
As someone who has extensive Java and JavaScript experience, the whole reason for the Java hate as a language is it's lack of closures. For any callback you have define a new interface explicitly then do a gnarly anonymous inner class. In JavaScript you can just plop in an anonymous function. As for the ecosystem, Node also wins with NPM for ease of installing third party libraries, but Java wins for more comprehensive libraries that are already battle tested. A lot of Node libraries do reinvent the wheel.

I don't even know what the standard way of installing a new library is in Java. There's Ivy, Maven, and Gradle. Out of all of them Gradle seems to be the best, but least used.
I agree with your post, but wanted to pick up on one point:

Erlang may as well not exist for the vast majority of developers. I like Erlang, but a lot of people don't get it, and even more are completely unaware that it exists.

This was also true of Ruby pre 2005. I'm not an Erlang developer but it clearly has some natural advantages in the increasingly important world of parallelism and maybe it just needs its own "Rails" as a catalyst for its take off? (And by "its own Rails" I don't mean a Web framework but just a MacGuffin that lures people in to trying it.)
My point is, I have questions about the way in which the police are conducting their “investigation,”

I don't, in this case. We can take a few things as given, yes?

1) There is no legitimate reason for an individual to attempt to blow up a piece of domestic infrastructure.

2) Any person who, given the materials, has no qualms committing the act in 1, is a criminal and should be taken off the streets.

This isn't even like most other stings. Drugs, speeding, whatever. There are legitimate reasons, law notwithstanding, to do both of those things. However, a person who takes steps to blow up a building and kill a bunch of people.. nope. There's zero question in my mind about someone who would do that. There is no legitimate reason. I suspect that the FBI will have a 100% success rate with these actions, and zero false positives.

What are the chances someone will be innocently caught in this dragnet? Pretty much zero. So where is the harm to society?

Plenty of people take it seriously. I take it seriously.

Most people scale out rather than scale up so it's pretty much irrelevant as it considers monolithic computing only.
