Jim Reese whose Technology Behind Google presentation we commented on previously appears to begiving a similar presentation as the USENIX LISA keynote: "Scaling the Web: An Overview of Google (A Linux Cluster for Fun and Profit)". "This talk will cover the technology behind Google: company overview, search parameters and results, hardware and query load balancing, Linux cluster topology, scalability, fault tolerance, and more." Should be interesting, I hope someone makes a recording. Unfortunately it seems that TechNetCast, the organization that covered the last show is having financial difficulties. If you're interested, I suggest you send them some words of support....

Maybe he would have liked Harvard
better... 07/16/2004 05:09 PM

A recent New Yorker magazine story on Egypt (full text online from link) contains the following passage:

Ibrahim taught Arabic literature at Berkeley in 1998, an experience that evidently did not suit him. “I despised the total individualism, the control of multinationals, the manipulation of the media over the ordinary person, the values of life, just living to eat, drink, fuck, have a car, and that’s all,” he said. “There are no moral values, no broad-minded attitudes toward life in general or a sense of what is happening in the world, no sense of the role America is playing in trying to control the resources of the world.” Perhaps what irked him most, he said, was “the genuine stupidity of the normal American citizen. He is ignorant. He doesn’t know what his own country is doing in the world. The U.S. is following the same policy of racism as the Nazis. Do I really have to explain something to you that is so well known everywhere?”

Ibrahim's "genuine stupidity" observation certainly adds some weight to the Bell Curve thesis (see below).  But suffering through the horrible weather here in Boston as I do mostly it cheers me to find out that there is anyone who manages to resist the lures of California.

[The very last part of the article is also worth reading, about an Egyptian kid who believes himself involved in a "clash of civilizations" where the West is trying to destroy Islam.  A big fan of September 11th and Al-Qaeda, he is confident that Islam will destroy the West first, which seems odd.  The belief system holds simultaneously that (a) the U.S. is completely immoral, (b) the U.S. is involved in a kill-or-be-killed war to the death with Muslims, and (c) the U.S. won't simply unload its warehouses full of nuclear weapons on the heads of Egyptians, et al.  If the U.S. were truly as evil as these guys say, W. and Co. would just use our leftover nukes to kill all the people in every country where Al-Qaeda recruits and then come back a few years later to pump out the oil.  And yet the fact that they are still alive and well in Cairo would seem to demonstrate that the U.S. is not completely immoral.  You would think that, at a minimum, the U.S. and W. would get credit from "the Arab Street" for the continued existence of "the Arab Street."]

Harvard hosts a debate on whether or not
IT Is done 04/09/2004 04:11 PM

Apropos the mournful postings below on the state of IT... On Wednesday May 19 Harvard at 12:30 Eastern Time is hosting a debate on the question "Does IT Matter?"  I plan to attend (via telephone).  Because it is the business school the debate is priced for those who are already rich and/or work for the rich.  And because it is the business school the focus of the debate is probably going to be "does IT matter to profit-seeking corporations?"  I might try to get a few words in edgewise about how IT might be more transformative for poor countries than for rich countries.  In the U.S. we have magnificent roads, stores everywhere, and seemingly 3 SUVs per citizen.  So being able to do a transaction electronically isn't that much of a time-saver.  Someone in the Third World who has to ride a chicken bus over a terrible road for an entire day is going to appreciate being able to do a transaction from his local Internet cafe a lot more than someone who only saved a 10-minute ride in his Cadillac Escalade.

The Chicago Tribune reports that the religious leader is opening a law school this month at his Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., intending to swell the ranks of attorneys who will fight for conservative causes.

(comparatively) stupid white men at

(comparatively) stupid white men at
Harvard and Yale 08/28/2004 11:44 AM

A friend was asking me about some of her colleagues who had joined Mensa and I said that anyone who hangs around a decent college is already effectively a member because you only need a fairly low SAT score to get admitted to Mensa (turned out to be 1250 if you took the pre-1995 test and the new wimpy test for today's youth is not accepted at all; see http://members.sh aw.ca/delajara/criteria.html).  Then I tried to figure out what average SAT scores prevailed at colleges today and the Web search brought up this interesting page from a 1998 Brookings Institution report.  What I found most striking was the discrimination against Asian-Americans at the elite old-line universities.  Harvard is the 2nd worst offender in this regard.  An Asian kid has to have an SAT score 65 point higher than a white kid to get into Harvard.  Maybe this explains George W's illustrious career at Yale?  (not listed in the table but presumably similar to Harvard)

[Page 438 of the same study is also interesting.  It concludes that being black or hispanic rather than white at the "most selective colleges" is "comparable to the effect of having ... a total SAT score of 1400 rather than 1000".  So if you are a generic white family and want to get your kids into college it might be time to go down to the courthouse and change your last name to "Hernandez".  The college admissions staff don't get deeply into geneaology, do they?  Just learn enough Spanish to say "Here is a check for $40,000 to cover the first year of tuition, room, and board."  Then your kids could change their names back right after graduation from their last degree, in order not to suffer discrimination from employers who might think "they got in just because they were Hispanic" and to conceal themselves from pesky Alumni Association donation demands.  With a system this heavily based on race and name changes as economical as they are I'm surprised that more families don't game the system.  Perhaps there is a business opportunity here...]
