Travel to Europe’s small countries always offers one an intriguing glimpse of the world’s linguistic future — English spoken universally, but not quite right (admittedly, it’s an unfortunate coincidence that the world’s lingua franca is also the language that features the greatest proliferation of irregularities and so forth). Nestlé headquarters was full of promotional copy that didn’t scan right to a native speaker. Sometimes, they seemed to be working of a very literal translation from ...

Jon Henke has a smart post at The Next Right about CAP/CAPAF and the role these institutions have played in the progressive revival. One word of caution I would offer, however, to people looking at building the next set of conservative institutions is that while it’s always good to learn from precedent, it’s not smart to slavishly imitate what exists. Insofar as CAP’s been successful, it’s been successful because it’s been responsive to the specific ...

Charlie Savage, fresh from investigated the abuses of power at the heart of the Bush administration, takes a gander at John Podesta and the Center for American Progress. This isn’t the main point of the piece, but I did want to emphasize one thing: With Democrats back in control of the executive branch, the question now, Professor McGann said, is whether the center will keep going. If its policy experts all leave for government jobs, ...

Following in the frowned-upon footsteps of Comcast, AT&T is gearing up to trial monthly bandwidth caps in Nevada. Starting this month, Reno-area subscribers using the carrier's least expensive DSL service (768k) will be forced to download less than 20GB in a month; the ...

Earlier today, The New York Times “reported” that “Mr. Podesta has been mapping out the transition so systematically that he has already written a draft Inaugural Address for Mr. Obama, which he published this summer in a book called The Power of Progress.” This is false. Podesta published a book this summer, The Power of Progress, that was written with John Halpin. The book contains, as a literary conceit, a hypothetical inaugural address for a ...

So I guess this is a little note saying that the way I post is gonna be a little different. I’m gonna continue to try and write really complete posts, but sometimes they might just be thoughts or something cool ...

My editor Andy Oram recently sent me an ACM article on BASE, a technique for improving scalability by being willing to give up some other properties of traditional transactional systems. It’s a really good read. In many ways it is the same religion everyone who’s successfully scaled a system Really Really Big has advocated. But this is different: it’s a very clear article, with a great writing style that really cuts out the fat and ...
