PHP is not particularly known for fast and no, you wouldn't expect PHP to move petabytes of data. The normal approach for moving data with PHP is to readfile() the whole file into a byte string in memory before echo()ing it to the user; doing something chunked, incremental, and seekable is probably just as much difficulty in PHP as in Perl. It also isn't legacy -- as they say, they switched from Perl to PHP. (Although, it might be. They may have switched to PHP just for the library MySQL functions, or perhaps they wanted to switch to Nginx and couldn't get it at the time to run exactly how they wanted with Perl -- either way, it could be the case that now they're staying with it for legacy reasons.)

I can think of some special cases where PHP would be better, especially in a porn site's case -- the most common clicks are front-page links and there are probably a bunch of common keywords and clicks to links off the first page of those searches, which means that caching whole pages is probably economical. As far as I know, both Perl and PHP are identically suited to talking with upstream caching proxies, but PHP might have felt more natural for day-to-day feature development.
What is the 'de facto' answer for environments where AD isn't present?

I was going to say something about AD not supporting SAML, or federation, but it appears that my knowledge is dated. But in an enterprise where there are no Windows machines (to my knowledge,) much less Windows servers, what's the fill-in?

*Edited the snark out.
I'm imagining a remix of the featured video to look something like this:

* Guy wakes up, puts on glasses. They immediately tell him what brand of breakfast he should be eating today.

* When he looks at the window to see the weather, buildings and places are censored, and advertisements are replaced with google ads, yet he doesn't care

* During the text message with his friend, after he says "Strand books", Google suggests Chapters or Noble or another "featured" store, and he has to opt out of the text replacement.

* When the Subway is out, advertisements for cab companies come up on his "screen". He must opt out of them to get the walking route. Google begins caching the advertisements he will be seeing during the rout superimposed on the scenery.

* The board of posters he steps up to is blurred out and is instead a different, large "pop" label, not some indie band.

* In the book store, Google quotes lower prices for each book at "Google Books" and offers free shipping.

* The picture he takes at the end has a superimposed image of "Sponsored by Google!"

* It ends with the sunset having a superimposed text advertisement for vacations.

Unclear to me is how the interface works. In the demo video, how do you select an item? By eyesight? How do you click?

Compiling C++ and SDL to JavaScript
Java isn't that widely used on the web anymore, and you will probably know if a site will require Java, so you'll be prepared to allow it. If Java spontaneously pops up when you're not expecting it, you'll generally want to deny it. It's more a question of whether you trust the site and you legitimately expect it to use Java at that point rather than simply whether you trust it in general.

The spec example

For example, to do a 32 bit add of 0x12345678 and 0xaabbccdd, do this:
SET [0x1000], 0x5678 ; low word
SET [0x1001], 0x1234 ; high word

suggests he's thinking in little-endian.

I don't think it's relevant to this spec though: there's no way for a DCPU program to detect the CPU's endianness. Imagine it's C with 16-bit "char"s and no larger int sizes.
it wasn't ugly :(
This confuses me. There seem to be certain personality traits associated with gender beyond standard stereotypes. Why is it a bad thing for a manager/owner to employ specific talents or personality traits in accomplishing an objective?Gender is just one component that makes a person who they are, and is observable.

How would you feel when...

If we're going to argue hypotheticals, how would you feel if one of those people instead of just having their wallet taken pulls out a gun and ends up getting shot? Or shoots an innocent bystander by accident? Or the kid who gets his hands on Daddy's gun and accidentally shoots himself or a friend?

You talk about outliers, but it's not obvious to me which are the most common outliers. It seems to me that pretty much every mass shooting (the one this week in Oakland, Congresswoman Giffords, Virginia Tech, Columbine, etc) have one thing in common: they were not perpetrated by people who would be characterized as "criminals" before the act, but by normal/unstable people who flipped and if they had not had easy access to guns the outcome would likely have been very different.
I think the standard UNIX-flavoured solution is LDAP+Kerberos, which is pretty much AD without the gratuitous incompatibility and useful extras.

From the video, their is that potential yes. The idea isn't to just use what's in the video though. Rather, to use the technology behind the video to build technology that is made for them.

Yes, the constant interruptions wouldn't be good, but that doesn't mean we couldn't build something for them using that same technology.
You would have to abstract the CPU in some way and then write the permissions management in software as part of the interpreter.

Yes, that's what I said. :)

Bear in mind that this is already only a 16bit CPU with a restricted address space.

I suspect the interpreter could be made to fit, with limited space left for the untrusted (to-be-interpreted) code. As has been pointed out elsewhere, though, if there is a backing store (i.e., simulated hard drive), it's probably possible to have effectively unlimited "RAM" in the game in practice, unless Notch implements a slowdown for accessing the backing store.

Yeah, but I think you're also missing the point, which is it's possible that this accessory presents such an enormous advantage to the user that to remain competitive in society you won't have a choice but to adopt it.

I'm not sure which way it'll go, but I can imagine that happening.
Android was purchased by Google two years prior to the release of iOS [1][2]

Tablets are the natural progression of mobile platforms, and existed prior to the iPad.

The massive contention about Android fragmentation and update/upgrade paths has steadily grown to the point that controlling an additional choke point in that process could significantly improve the ecosystem. By purchasing Motorola and operating it separately they can produce phones with shorter wait times between Android version releases and updates, and set precedents for other manufacturers to follow.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and a myriad of other platforms have proven that social is a huge market. Google+ was late to the party, but they would be stupid to ignore it altogether.

Google Offers is a natural tie-in with a mobile payments platform (Google Wallet), which they were essentially first to market with in the US despite having not yet gained significant traction.

I'm not very familiar with the Google Places, Hotpot, or Yelp services, but it seems like a natural tie-in with their existing Maps service. And sure, MapQuest was around first, but it still is, and I don't know anybody that prefers it to Google Maps.

Chrome may seem "me too" at the moment, but when it first released it was a pretty big deal. They proved that browsers could be minimal and functional, and as they said themselves it only made sense for them to contribute to the web at all points, from server to client.

Google Docs took Office products into a completely new space, one which Microsoft is now having a knee-jerk reaction to with their Office 365 platform.

On top of that, there's plenty of originality to be had still. Their self-driving cars project is really taking off, just a few short years ago nobody would ever have dreamed it would be possible to have a street-level view of nearly every road in the US (and tons of other countries now), their single account/sync structure is undoubtedly the inspiration for iOS's recent iCloud service, and they're in the process of revolutionizing internet connectivity itself right now with end-to-end fiber connections at reasonable consumer pricing in Kansas City.

Maybe there is a bit of envy in there, but who hasn't looked at something and said to themselves "I could do better"? I'd say that, for the most part, they have.

You're right. The "edit" button has expired.
They are killing off lots of other projects and focusing on far fewer. What you wrote is a tangent from what I wrote. You are complaining because by focusing more on search they are making it worse. Whether search is better now can be debated, and I don't have an opinion, but they are certainly focusing on it.
My view on this is pretty simple: Larry should keep doing what he's doing and let the haters keep on hating.

Before G+, people made fun of Google for not doing social and now that they have a good product, they are made fun of because they didn't kill facebook 6 months. People moaned and complained how no two Google products were alike or connected, and now that they complain that they work well together. And of course, Android's been hated forever, even as it takes over the market and iOS starts lifting its major features from Android.

So, Larry's focus and determination will probably result in a very productive reign, despite all the hate from the Valley folk and HNers

Good question!

So, the first answer is "Yes, for the most part, they are routine dependent." However, this isn't always the case. My son, for example, isn't as routine dependent as others are. He's perfectly fine with a differing routine. So, while routine is a part of autism, this doesn't define autism.

However, this can still be resolved by preparing the autistic person with the routine. So again, they can prepare for the movies by watching the video of walking down the street, and the actual activities involved. Or, let's say, letting them see where they are going before they get there. See the insides, see what's there, what's involved.

Finally, even if it was a big hurdle, it's still a hurdle that needs to be overcome, and the task tool I'm referring to is there to help overcome that. Again, by preparing them, and then prompting them while they are going about their day, it helps to reassure them, and they become more independent.

Good question though. Thank you for asking it!

Again, I haven't used it myself.

You can use a convoluted bit of javascript to determine if there is a more link in the comments page. Then if you detect a more link, use ajax and get that page and append to the current page. Rerun your javascript to determine if the newly appended page has a more link in it. Repeat till you find a page that does not have a more link in it. This is what I did for my HN ipad app.

Also, comments pages have been paginated for quite some time now. I believe it started around 9 months to a year back.

Cultural bias always shifts abruptly and unapologetically with utility. It was once considered "dorky" to own a cellular phone. The question is not whether they can build/market it subtly enough to shirk societal ridicule, but whether they can make it practical enough to rewrite existing mores.

The Segway obviously lacked that practicality, as did the Oakleys. True augmented reality glasses would certainly not, but I don't know how far along they are towards that goal.

You can dispute transactions because of your legal agreement with the credit card company - not because of any technical reason. For example your bank also insures itself against having untraceable cash stolen by robbers.

You could have a bank account where the bank claims no liability if your debit account was emptied by a hacked chip+pin reader - they just wouldn't have many customers!

Similarly a bank could decide to offer a bitcoin account where it will offer you the option of a chargeback. It will simply charge a commission on the transaction to cover itself.

The thing is, you can't just 'escape XSS'. You need to know exactly where the data is going to be used, and you can't know that when you store it (in fact, you could use the same data in many different places). There are infinite ways of doing XSS, so if you don't escape properly, you are still vulnerable.
The view layer should escape everything by default. Then if you need a different filter, or disable escaping (for wysiwyg for instance), do it manually.
