It's not 'about' spoofing his MAC address. It's about respecting the rights of property owners to set the terms of how other people may access their property. You know, when someone is charged with burglary the issue is not that they entered your place through the window rather than by ringing the doorbell, but that they entered without your permission. Try to imagine the outrage that would result if a judge said 'it's your fault for having an insecure window, tough luck.'

EDIT: I might add that I don't care for JSTOR or the copyright system that they derive such benefit from. But then I don't especially care for our laws on taxation and related subjects - my disagreement with those doesn't give me the right to opt out of taxes that I dislike, or to appropriate the possessions of others whose wealth I might envy.
OP here. What do you think we should be using apart from C++ or Java?

That's just convention. The insights here are important. I personally provide more weight to older articles that people post since they seem to be timeless.
Spoken like a true armchair ignoramus. I dont think you neither realize the strong language oriented identity India nor the diversity in the language construct that you club in the "north indian" or Hindi bracket. Though Indian languages share a common ancestral vocabulary grammar can be quite different. So the assertion that hindi will be easy to pick up for all north Indians let alone north Indians is quite hilarious. Anecdotal evidence is not data but consider this ,I am a north Indian and my girl friend and her family speaks hindi (so I have enough reasons to be good at it) but I am way more comfortable in english than in hindi, inspite of the fact that my primary education was in hindi rather than in my mother tongue.

Further, I think you missing a large characteristic, at the lack of a better word, indian identity. India is more like a salad bowl where you have mix of a different things but each preserving its distinguishing characteristic rather than the oft used analogy of a melting pot, where the diversity gets melded into something uniform. If anyone even tries to do what you suggest there is going to be rebellion and violence. This is not hypothetical, it has been tried and the results havent been pretty. Look up Feb 21. If you look up the violent centrifugal movements in India (Punjab, Kashmir, to an extent Tamil Nadu), the perception that the center was keen on establishing a different culture, identity played an important role in precipitating them. We have spent huge amount of resources, human and otherwise to contain these. Some of these are still ongoing. So, enough of this idiocy already.

Having opinions is fine, but it is usually better when they are grounded in background knowledge.

What you are voicing has been voiced before and occupies a central position in the manifesto of RSS/VHP who have been trying hard since before independence, to define India in terms of hindi and hindu supremacy and to constitute a political church of unified hinduism. They are the moral equivalent of skinheads, indulging in violence on minorities. I am not saying that you advocate their views, I hope not. What I am saying however, is that there your views forms a big chunk of their world view. What surprised me intitially is their presence in student campuses outside of India, but it made complete sense later.

What I had come here to say is however quite different. As a child I had spent a lot of time in the north-eastern part of india and have very fond memories. I had apparently picked up a few of these languages well (Angami, Sema and a creole called Nagamese), to the extent that I would often get praised for being so fluent in them. I find it remarkable and sad that I retain none of it. Now I would not even understand if someone spoke in the languages I had picked up. So learning languages is certainly not the same as learning to ride a bicycle.
This doesn't stack up too good against a Met-Rx ProteinPlus bar

Protein 32g

However I think the idea is amazing. It's early days for this stuff I'm sure but it has potential. There needs to be tests for absorption of protein etc
Square footage is a pretty dumb metric. square footage of the US >> square footage of Japan, Switzerland, UK, etc. We have more room, and it's much cheaper - of course we use more of it.

Normalize square footage by some reasonable metric (price per sq ft in percent GDP perhaps?) and maybe I'll take the "bubble" idea seriously.

Thanks! I just want to clarify that the URL for the web application framework benchmarks project is: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/

OP: I recommend installing and using Wrk for web-server benchmarks. The Apache Bench tool (ab) is single-threaded and with today's higher-performance frameworks and platforms, Apache Bench itself can be a limiting factor in tests. See a reply I wrote elsewhere [1] for more information.

Agree with this. There's a large measure of difference between detaining a private citizen (bad), and detaining somebody under the employ of a journalist organisation (far, far worse).

One is harrassment, the other is political intimidation in an attempt to censor.
There are practical reasons to learn it, if you do radio operations. A morse signal doesn't require the same bandwidth that a voice signal requires, so you're able to focus the power of the transmitter into a tighter bandwidth, and broadcast with more power than a voice signal. In addition, you can understand the information in a morse signal in the presence of much more interference than you can understand a voice signal. So it's actually quite practical when doing radio operations to use morse, even today.
You don't have an iota of understanding about the language dynamics that led to the creation of India as it is today. Also language is culture, culture is identity. So people use their native languages with pride in India. Also Hindi is not the language educated people communicate in India - It is English. In fact the BIMARU states which use Hindi are the least developed among Indian regions with lowest literacy. South India in general developed primarily as we adopted English as our 2nd language long back which opened us to opportunities around the world and also cared to nurture our mother tongues. It is proven beyond doubt that mother tongue education is vital to the intellectual and social development of a child. Languages are a biological part of you and not a device that may be discarded at will (learn a bit about modern linguistics). The idea of single language for India has been rejected by its parliament and people (by the way, it is nothing but fasicsm - as an adjunct I can argue that the whole humanity must adopt a single language - does it make any sense??). English is the communication link of India, and that is the best outcome. So if BIMARU states give some importance to English, they also have a chance to develop.
I mean protein by itself (without fats or sugars)

Paul Krugman on Communication and Writing
There's always another town. And likewise, so many alternatives to Google tech - and all solutions provided by the other 'giants'. Besides, this is an industry driven by technology & innovation. If there isn't a solution or an incumbent is dropping the ball - that's opportunity for geeks like us.

Besides that, why give them the benefit of the doubt anyway?

I have no qualms about singling out Google. Of all the 'giants' this is a company that has the most volume, quality, and relevant information on all of us. They need to be held accountable & scrutinized to the highest degree in the handling of said data. The fact that they are the company most active in their business relations & engagements with the intel sector should be ringing alarm bells.
Matt linked to my course, but also: I did a tiny analysis of this with my pi searcher (http://da-data.blogspot.com/2013/05/improving-pi-searchers-s... ) -- it's a toy compared to the kind of system that Matt described, but my experience was extremely positive. Rewriting it in Go made it easier to architect the system right to take advantage of persistence. It's hugely faster.

We also have a paper accepted to SOSP this year (the academic weenies will understand that) where the system - a Paxos variant - is implemented in Go. We also implemented about four other Paxos variants in Go to compare against them, a task that would have been absolutely grueling in C++. In Go it wasn't too bad. Our performance isn't super-blazing, but it turns out to be one of the faster publicly available Paxos implementations anyway. I'll have to write up a bit about our experience with it -- I'm with Matt 100% on this one.
Thank you people for your kind support, i just need 2 more to achieve my target
I just hope they develop healthier versions, particularly without so much sugar.
Yes, that's true. The approach has it's drawbacks though (validates_uniqueness_of being a prime example).

As much as I like Rails, I sometimes wish it were designed with the database playing more of a role than just dumb storage. Defining things like validations in Ruby is certainly nice and easy, but the database is much better suited to actually enforcing such constraints.
Quest bars are the best I've found: http://www.questproteinbar.com/
for certain definitions of intelligent

Yes, but I would argue that those definitions are not really relevant to this discussion. You say...

behavior does not have to be self-directed to be intelligent

...which is true, but the whole point of AI is to get to a point where computers are self-directed; where we don't have to laboriously tell the computer what to do; we just give it a general goal statement and it figures out how to accomplish it. If we have to continuously intervene to get it to do what we want, what's the point? We have that now. So this...

Its (supposed) neural network could be modified externally without any self-direction whatsoever.

...is also not really relevant, because the whole point is to develop AI's that can modify their own neural networks (or whatever internal structures they end up having) as an ongoing process, the way humans do.

(Btw, one of the reasons I keep saying this is "the whole point" is that developing such AI's would confer a huge competitive advantage, compared to the "intelligent" machines we have now, that only exhibit "intelligent" behavior with continuous human intervention. So it's not realistic to limit discussion to the latter kind of machines; even if you personally don't want to take the next step, somebody else will.)

The word "being" perhaps is the stumbling point here.

No, I think it's the word "intelligent". See above.

I don't think there is any programming error that could turn an intended knowledge-loving machine into a self-preserving amoral humanity killer.

I don't think you're trying hard enough to imagine what effects a programming error could have. Have you read any of Eliezer Yudkowsky's articles on the Friendly AI problem?

The architecture of the two would be vastly different.

Why would this have to be the case? Human beings implement both behaviors quite handily on the same architecture.

Seems clear to me that banning an IP address is nothing more than a ban on that IP address. The user could conceivably go to a library and use their IP to access the site. Since that's self-evidently a non-productive approach, the only way to communicate the block of an individual user is to affirmatively contact that user and obtain a signed recognition of that user's banning.

That may create a technical problem for the banner, but the method the judge chose simply ignores the fact that an IP address (unlike a ham radio license but exactly like a telephone number) is never attached to an individual.
Norway's Weird Waves Traced to Japan Earthquake
All good points, except the last...

Does anybody use PyPy, Jython or IronPython for a production web service? I'm seriously wondering.
I've had the misfortune of having had to use Jython, but just to read Python pickles from a Java service (don't ask). Even that simple use case wasn't fun (the last stable release was also over a year ago).

PyPy looks great for small or new projects, but there is this disclaimer: "PyPy has alpha/beta-level support for the CPython C API, however, as of 2.1 release this feature is not yet complete. Many libraries will require a bit of effort to work..." - this has caused PyPy to be incompatible with every large Python project I've ever worked on.

And well, personal (dis)taste in .NET aside, IronPython hasn't had a release in over a year either...

Where are these projects being used in production?
Hey, I see what you're saying, but I don't think most scientists approach it that way.

Sky Drone FPV: NSA-proof Video Transfer System for Consumer Drones
I'm not really into morse/CW, but I'd strongly encourage people to try out ham radio. You can buy an adequate radio for $31 on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/BaoFeng-UV-5R-136-174-400-480-Dual-Ban...) and can get licensed in about 2-4 hours for $0-30.

There was a period of maybe the 1980s-2000 where radio was dying (it was all old people who were defending their turf), but in the past 13 years it seems to have really turned around -- more activity on the 2m/440 HT scene, disaster stuff, etc. You can do crazy things like run 1500W wifi. Operate RC. Work space stations (satellites, the ISS, etc.) Weird propagation stuff (sunspot related, meteors, the moon...).

The only lingering problem I have with amateur radio is the ban on crypto, but you can get around that by developing encrypted protocols but publishing the keys in routine use, or moving the equipment to non-ham bands with secret keys later.
Isn't it then a paradox that the most developed regions in India speak a language other than Hindi?? Loss of a language is loss of culture; every time a language dies humanity loses an important part of its knowledge base - there is no one language in the world where all knowledge, wisdom and collective experiences are present - It is part of the fundamental rights of a person to preserve, nurture and cherish one's mother tongue. If you don't know - what you just stated is plain fascism.

It actually has a comparable nutritional profile to commercial waffles:

Holy shit, "not so much" is putting it really lightly.
In my experience, at least on the low-sugar side, it tastes good once you get used to it. Eat a low-sugar diet for a few weeks and not only does it start to taste fine, but if you eat something with lots of added sugar, it tastes sickeningly sweet.
> except for parts they want to get "inspired by"

Go's concurrency was not "inspired by" Erlang. It was inspired by Hoare's CSP. Pike and Luca Cardelli created a CSP based language called Squeak in 1985: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.26.8...
In general this is true, but with Rails 4, we added a lot of Postgres specific features to ActiveRecord, so you can actually take advantage of all the awesomeness Postgres has to offer.

1. I think "AGI" is a ridiculous recent rebranding of "Hard AI" and doesn't represent any meaningful scientific or engineering pursuit.

2. Even if one accepted that NLP is AI-complete: this is a sufficient condition and not a necessary condition. But the claim being made in the articles is that it is a necessary condition: that is, that other AI disciplines are distractions because they do not lead to the AI grail that NLP supposedly leads to. This is classic GOFAI hogwash.

What's the problem with protein/fat bars? Rancidity? There are fats (possibly not those found next to meat) which can be more shelf-stable; I wonder if you could use those fats, protein, and chemicals extracted from the tasty fat to have the right stability, taste, and nutrition profile. But that would be "evil food science" so people wouldn't think it was "healthy" I guess.

PCREs (ie, the regular expressions that Perl uses) are NP-hard, since they allow backreferences.
Security Researcher Hacks Mark Zuckerberg’s Wall To Prove His Exploit Works
>Shaving and changing my clothes are not illegal in and of themselves

In your analogy, shaving and changing clothes are illegal, according to the ruling.
Actually, that's part of the issue. Most of Parrot's semantics are exactly those of Perl 6 (right down to the opcodes for Boolean testing), and those don't get along well with most languages.
This is why a "go" rewrite story is not that appealing to me. You can rewrite a subset of a system and gain many improvements simply by benefits of hindsight and clearer requirements regardless of languages.
> Protein, no matter what the source, unfortunately doesn't taste great, so I guess their workaround is to not use much protein...

Different forms of protein have different tastes.

OP here. It is absolutely true that we did not rewrite the entire original system in Go; I tried to be very explicit about that in the blog post. But, I feel confident that it could be done, in much less code, with greater clarity and modularization. The Go language by itself does not force good software design. A rewrite in any language would have been better than the original system, but our decision to use Go turned out to be fortuitous in that we managed to do so in record time and with much greater programmer productivity.
