But with all the technological advancement, I wonder how much physical strength matters anymore in a world where everyone can own and use a handgun or a rifle. I think guns and the 2nd Amendment help the "weak" much more than taxes.

Who is this "global elite" you're talking about? Does it include Obama and the Democrats (most young people I know voted for them)? Does Vladimir Putin also count? Hugo Chavez? Silvio Berlusconi? Most of today's corrupt and powerful people

I'm not sure that a piece-by-piece refutation is worthwhile. -- it would be worthwhile because otherwise your comment doesn't really say anything useful.

Even an ideal bytecode would likely be slower than javascript for years -- no, statically-typed bytecode should be significantly faster than dynamically-typed JavaScript (both in execution and parsing time), IMHO.

I couldn't figure out from the link, how is TAOS different from the JVM/CLR? It seems to me that pNaCl and asm.js are already 99% of that, they're only missing all the libraries.

However, your neighbor breaking in is trespassing. You can press charges against him or even (in many countries) defend your property by force. You can't really do that against cops.

Every time a block is added to the block chain, whoever "solved" that block gets a fixed number of new bitcoins (25 is the current number, I think). A block contains several pieces of information: a list of transactions, a link to the previ

The other guy doesn't just get shiny objects, they also get influence and power over other people, along with freedom to do (mostly) what they want. One very relevant example: you can move to the US and get a green card as an investor, if y

That's not how it works. The original NaCl targeted only 32-bit x86, but now they also produce binaries for x86_64 and ARM too. If you're running on ARM, you get an ARM NaCl binary.

Yes, one problem I see that this is repeatable and not predictable. Continual inflation can be predicted and planned for, but confiscation of people's money can happen whenever the government needs money. What if next week they take another

Here's my understanding of why each pointer is needed, from reading the Zend source code for a while: 1) The innermost pointer is needed because Zend hash tables actually store a "zval* " (pointer to zval), not a zval directly. The zval is

Why don't we let individuals choose how they allocate their own production? That way, you're only your own "profitable servant".

To quote Clint Eastwood: "Deserve's got nothin' to do with it." They just had the opportunity to make all that wealth, and acted on it (regardless whether the actions they took were legal/illegal, easy and fast or required an insane amount

As one of the authors of Happy, your post got me very interested. We wrote the paper over a year ago, we used a version of PyPy from back then. It's possible that we get a bigger speedup with a newer PyPy. It's interesting that you mention
