I do not know enough to disagree with you on your main point, but I do have a few nits.

You really don't need a study from Harvard to get data on this. If you don't get it because of a lack of business experience, go talk to your local high-school-educated baker, mechanic or gas-station owner for a quick round-down.

Talking to your local high-school-educated baker is not science. We confidently believe a great deal of things that are untrue, and getting it confirmed with science is valuable. In hindsight, it's usually easy to be unsurprised by a scientific result.

Can you imagine possible circumstances that would lead you to confidently believe taxation and regulation to be the cause of many businesses' failure even if it were untrue?

The evidence is overwhelming. Yet, we keep dicking around and supporting policies, politicians and people who somehow think they can violate the laws of physics and make things better by shafting everyone with more taxes.

I would love to believe this, since that would be a good argument to have less taxes. However, as your only evidence, you offer an example of absurd property taxation on desks and chairs.

Such taxes cost a business in legal, accounting, and administration fees, in addition to the tax itself, and it costs tax money to operate the government bureau to oversee all of this. All this looks to be a blatant example of government inefficiency.

However, every country in the world, at least every democracy, suffers from such problems. At one point or another, the politicians have to trade political capital to push for the policies really important to them, their funders and their voter base, and less than ideal compromises do get made.

I believe that taxation is inherently inefficient and I would like to see as little of it as possible. And I also believe that some functions of government are useful to society at large. A balance must be struck. This balance will include inefficiencies that come with running a political society.

Given that a balance must be struck, it is possible that the optimal level of taxation would be higher than now. I do not know how to judge it - I have no basis for that. I would like to see the evidence that shows where that balance must lie. I find it otherwise unsurprising to see business owners arguing for lower corporate tax.

> Facebook is available in china, but I don't see them gaining "100% of the user market".

Facebook is Public Enemy #1a (Twitter is 1b) to the Chinese government. It's only available via a VPN, and VPN is an expensive proposition to most Chinese - having one means effectively doubling your internet bill. Most Chinese know Facebook, just like they know Twitter and YouTube. They just aren't willing to jump through the hoops required to use them over renren, weibo, or youku.

A much better example of your point (sticking with China) would be tencent (QQ) - they cloned ICQ and are now a massive company WITHOUT protection from the government.
Agree with everything said so far, also think you should look at having more content on your site - I can't see google doing much for you (with or without ads) with the current lack of content there to keep users around.

I also think it is a bit of a silly gimmick, if thats the only thing you offer over your competitors, need to step up the innovation a notch.
Often they don't, 'though gas prices are a special case since they affect every retailer, and their margins are often razor thin as they are.

But consider Kindle vs paperback prices on Amazon for the same book. If costs were the most important thing in setting prices, the former would never be more expensive than the latter; but we see it often is, because demand sets the price, not cost.

This is a surprising and refreshingly entertaining video. I have always been curious as to what flames really were, but it has always been on my "Things to look up eventually list" that I never get around to. The song at the end was a nice touch too (though I'm not a fan of the M83-esque yelling in it).
I don't think Swype's patent is quite as general as we seem to be assuming (see below). If that's right, I think that could easily change the analysis of obviousness (though it also might not, of course).

When undocked, ASUS Transformers (and the Transformer Prime) have the option of swiping-based text entry. It is the same concept, but implementation is pretty clearly not Swype's (I've used both and, among other things, it isn't as good). Nevertheless, AFAIK, ASUS hasn't been sued over this, despite Swype's owner (Nuance) being known for a certain amount of litigiousness (see: Vlingo).

I suppose it is possible that ASUS licensed Swype's patent, but not their implementation, but that seems strange (how would the cost-benefit analysis on that work?). I think the more likely answer is that they're avoiding Swype's patent (or patents) somehow.
To clarify, it's 1/5th the speed of normal PyPy without JIT per thread. Except it can now run on 8 cores, so it's slightly faster on an 8 core machine.

It's molasses compared to PyPy with JIT.

The really bad thing about patents like Swype and "swipe to unlock" is that they are just uses of a touch screen. Once you've got a touchscreen (which is the hard part, full of actual inventions), thinking of all of the neat ways you can use it is frikkin' easy. It may be novel in the sense that before there were touch screens, it was impossible and now its not, but I'd say thinking of an application of a technology does not rise to the level of an invention.

I always say, "Its like patenting 'driving your car to grandmas'. The car is the invention, not deciding its a good way to go see grandma."
I thought about that, but I felt it wouldn't accurately convey what was interesting about the link (which was not just the subject of the discussion but who was doing the discussing).
This is a very thorough, albeit not necessary accurate, story of one's experience using Java.

I agree that there are TONS of duplicated effort out there:

Tapestry, Struts 1/2, JSF, Wicket, etc are all "MVC _and_ Component Oriented".

Hibernate vs JPA (yes, I know Hibernate is JPA 2 compliant, and yes, I know JPA 2 has less features).

XML processors. Java common utilities, the list goes on.

But these days there seems to be a quite select few of winners in my book: Google Guava, JUnit (TestNG is neat, but JUnit is good enough for 80% cases), GWT, Spring Framework or Java EE6 (your choice, or mixed).

Java based ORMs can't beat dynamic language ORMs in terms of "it's fun to use" (or less setup). Period. But having said that, Java based ORMs took different approach compare to ActiveRecord or Django Model. Java based ORMs are more similar to Ruby DataMapper; they required a little bit of setups (have to define your own model, etc) but in the long run, I think these second concept (or known as the Data Mapper pattern: http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/dataMapper.html) may have been a better choice. Of course that is for the long run... not weekend project, get-prototype, get-funded, and get rich-quick scheme.

Java-based App Servers are heavy but with a caveat, depending on your loads, Java-based App Servers may use less resources (or degrade gracefully) because they are utilizing thread vs bringing up Rails + Ruby process per request.

When it comes to dev-time that depends on your experience. For example: I use JUnit, Eclipse, and JUnit plugin as faux-REPL. No re-compilation needed. Setting up the tools I mentioned is done via Maven + vanilla Eclipse. In another word: don't get too gung-ho with the number of tools I mentioned. It's fairly simple to get it to work.

I do have to say this though: as much as people hate Maven, there's no better and more complete build/dependency management/project management tools in other ecosystems (Ruby, Python, Lisp, Haskell) compare to Maven. None.

When it comes to IDE, I love the shortcut navigation keys of my IDE, Eclipse. I'm contemplating to purchase RubyMine in the future as well because quite frankly I can't live with VIM/Emacs. NetBeans has a decent Ruby IDE for a while until Oracle decided not to invest in Ruby anymore. Not sure what the stats these days. I need my "press X to go to Class/Method definition" to read the actual source code.

Yes, Java has been slow moving forward under SUN. Things have changed under Oracle. They're pushing it aggressively and toward the right direction.

People keep saying that the "WAR" deployment is one of the best thing that happened in Java. I heard Oracle is preparing Java EE7 that supports multi-tenant architecture.
The reason China beats us on cost is that their labor is cheap. If there is no labor, there's no way for them to beat us. Further, importation from China is not free.
I am kind of partial to tnetstring passed through lzf right now.
Initially, proprietary technology. In the longer run everyone will be competing on manufacturing flexibility and time to market. Garments are still largely ordered months in advance based on predicted sales of items (fashion buyers [1]). There is only marginal flexibility in supply (hence the rise of secondary distribution channels like Winners, Rue La La, etc).

There is a point in just-in-time manufacturing where the physical distance becomes important. It still takes around 3 weeks for a physical good to leave a Chinese factory and arrive at a US distribution center.

What I don't get is how this is exposed to the programmer. I seem to remember that there was talk before of using an eventloop type model where events are handled in separate transactions. Is this still the case? If so, then how is livelock prevented?
Nothing, but they have everything to lose from them and the US (and other nations) has everything to gain, because the US has already completely lost the garment industry.

China already has a massive supply of human labor, which is primarily why their labor costs are so low. If you were to automate their labor, it would cause substantial unemployment and or reductions in pay. I'd argue their society couldn't withstand that shock at this point. In the extremely near future, China's huge supply of labor is going to rupture their economy rather than being a net benefit. The robot productivity wave in manufacturing over the next quarter century will be extremely painful for them.

Whereas if the US re-acquires 50,000 jobs from robotics related to making garments (commodities & materials (farming, cotton), shipping, R&D, assembly of robots, maintenance of robots, etc etc) it's a massive win. Also, it would mean keeping wealth / capital in the US market, rather than sending it to another nation to the benefit of their future and labor pool. Then instead of buying a shirt made in China from Walmart, you buy the same shirt at Walmart and all the money stays domestically.

There's no winning scenario for China from robotic manufacturing.

An interview with Jonathan Corbet
Facebook need to get real with that voter requirement. Asking 270million to come out and vote would require them to be rallied through a presidential-level campaign with TV ads, fund-raising dinners and all. I think 5-10 million or thereabouts would be a more reasonable number, considering the biggest pages in the world are slightly above that.
I find this funny because guess where the robots will be produced.
Last I checked your builds didn't had `ns-toggle-fullscreen`. Is that still the case?

There's no direct labour. But there's still labour. People have to program the machines, and then keep the machines stocked and running, and service the machines.

At the moment that's skilled work and a small number of US workers will gain at the cost of a bunch of low-paid workers in poor countries. But it won't be long before that work becomes semi-skilled (see also sub-contract electronic engineering) and is done in Poland / China / where ever, for less than it can be done in the US.

Importation from China is not free, but I can still buy a human-made t-shirt imported from China for a couple of dollars.
I’m actually really liking the new ICS-style action bar dropdown, like used in the Gmail and calendar apps. Seems to do roughly the same in a more consistent manner.
> There's no winning scenario for China from robotic manufacturing.

This is a good point. Although I would argue that yes America would reacquire the garment industry some what, however the parts that make the machine up will still be manufactured by overseas competitors.

I think they are on the right track but the problem still lies in manufacturing chips and metal pieces cost substantially less overseas.
Lets hope there will be a good implementation which handles tablets and phone.
According to the Android library stats this pattern is not widely used yet, or devs do their own implementation: http://www.appbrain.com/stats/libraries/dev
To be fair, it is really bizarre that the article chooses to phrasing “the flame.” “Flames” would make more sense.
The biggest threat to simple repetitive manual labor based manufacturing is robotics. The US has seen that type of domestic manufacturing decline to almost nothing over the last 30 years. China by far and away dominates that.

High level manufacturing could certainly be threatened by robotics, but labor in the US is a much smaller portion of costs when you're talking about jet engines or medical devices than sewing a shirt (eg if you're paying $80k per year for labor, you're not going to be making $7 toasters in the US at that rate, you're going to be making million dollar jet engines; and you can't get labor costs below around $22,500 total in a manufacturing environment in the US).

The US lost the garment industry because its labor couldn't compete on wages. The average garment worker in China isn't making anywhere near $7.25 per hour, which is the US Federal minimum wage. Legally the US literally can't compete on wages.
Despite being a top science student at school, I learned more in those 7 minutes than any given 7 minutes of a science class in my life.

Could more of education look like this? Why doesn't it?
Thanks and you're probably right. But I'm hoping to attract attention and conceivably find an attorney that way. Time is pretty short for conventional means as I didn't learn about the first hearing until shortly before it was scheduled.

In fact, I haven't actually been lawfully served but the hearing will proceed regardless. In just a few days. To be honest, I'm worried about the whole thing.

Additionally, there are some unusual aspects to the case. Kenneth Kiraly is apparently the architect of the Kindle. Thomas is a VP of Humana. Some of the allegations are serious but bizarre at the same time. And the entire exercise started when I asked our parents to work on a book. The book was going to touch on abuse and that's certainly a issue of some importance. If enough people see this, it's possible somebody will be interested enough to consider pro bono.

BTW I use the Crowley spelling most of the time these days. I don't see myself as related to these people. They aren't my family. Anybody who reads the document might understand why.

The family history is interesting, though, and I'll expand it. One person I talked to in the 1990s was an Admiral who ran Security for the Manhattan Project. And James Kiraly's mother (my grandmother) Ann Kiraly was a remarkable woman. Rose to the top of the insurance industry back in the 1940s. James didn't like her much, though.

I'm new here and I hope a detailed response is all right. The document explains why I write this way.

Can anyone view the MySQL bug report linked to from the email? I get 'access denied' each time I try.
I agree. It's not a scenario in which the US is magically going to re-dominate 55% of global manufacturing like it's 1964 all over again. But it is plausible the US can retake a portion of manufacturing.
In some time this may be the case. But I'm sceptical that the capital cost will be less than the labour cost in these countries. And is China the last post for cheap labour.

"Sure, all religions are "weird". But most religious organizations -- generally speaking -- genuinely have their members' best interests at heart. Scientology has no such concerns.
"

That argument kinda breaks down when you take a look at one of the oldest and largest existing religions: Catholicism. Should anyone be surprised that powerful Catholic countries in Europe are totally against Scientology? It's not so much that Scientology is significantly worse (even if it is), it's because they don't like competition.

Global labor costs are rising, rather than decreasing. China has seen substantial increases in their labor costs over the last decade. That works against them and in favor of robotics (which will perpetually fall in cost).

Generally speaking, people always want to be paid more, but people have a very finite output capacity when it comes to base manual labor.

Robotic productivity has a radically higher output capability over time.
