It's funny how changing search engines has become a foreign thought--that'd be like telling the average american to switch out of Coke.

In fact I'll make a point to do that right now--to Bing I mean, not a fan of soft drinks. Let's see what it's like to have Chrome lead me to Microsoft's results for a few days, if only to give my brain a workout, in the same sense I've put my mouse on the left-hand side--and then ditched it completely for keyboard only. Which is actually something to entertain regarding search as we know it, is nothing ever going to replace it? Can't you really think out of the box and turn the world of search upside down? Surely what we take for granted isn't the only way.
what might be interesting in that case is to compare Intel's margins pre and post their "Intel Inside" campaign.
Speaking from personal experience, your claim is certainly wrong. There are pedophiles who were not themselves abused as children.

Yet it is true that pedophiles often come in families with a history of pedophilia.
It's rather easy to figure out where something is originating in the REPL particularly if you use pry.

Facebook is largely push driven, so one cleverly placed SSL gif in an email, or simply opening a connection when receiving a push notification would largely eliminate even these issues.

I'm dealing with similar issues right now with some of my projects and once you start thinking you can eliminate a lot of SSL latency, for example in the apps you can make a connection to the webserver immediately on app start up to ensure DNS, SSL, etc latency is already taken care of, it's funny but the app is probably faster because the predominant view that 'SSL is slow' causes those who advocate for it to go the extra mile to ensure any latency is effectively hidden.

Login has to occur over SSL anyway there's virtually no difference between SSL and non-SSL as the vast majority of latency is caused by the first connection, when you really get down to it and implement proper latency hiding techniques there's virtually no difference between SSL and non-SSL, and especially not for high traffic frequently visited sites with touch points across the web.
Tell me more about this $400 Chromebook with a 3GHz i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD.
look the commands for better.
My personal opinion on it is that this is in fact a very efficient way of doing things at Facebook. Facebook probably doesn't hire more than a couple people working on HHVM. Let's say their salaries individually are around $100,000 a year. That's cheap for them versus the value they're getting out of it.

Facebook probably has millions of lines of PHP code, PHP code proven to work. This isn't just Facebook.com, but internal websites, their bug tracker software (that is open source), analytical software for PHP, etc. etc. Rewriting all that would be _expensive_.

Running it on normal Zend PHP, based on the benchmarks they get on HipHop, requires _way_ more hardware at the scale of Facebook, so again, very expensive.

PHP developers are abundant, PHP is a relatively easy language to teach, resources are everywhere. Due to their abundance, PHP developers (even at Facebook quality) are probably less expensive than other languages. Easier hiring and lower cost developers, cheaper.
Congrats too all of them. There were so many applicants for this class and Thomas and team had a great batch to select from.
Endorsing it? What the hell?

I support the reasonable enforcement of the law. You accuse me of endorsing illegal activities for throwing in the word "reasonable"?

I am not defending myself further against your absurd and vile allegations.
In the jet-pack future I've always hoped that there was some way to build a side-channel on voice to send over some kind of data so there's something you can do with your phone other than talk into it and push DTMF tones.

There have been experiments with throwing side-band text into the phone for a while now, but they never amounted to much. Nortel experimented with this in the 1990s before IP telephony took off but because it used the call-display encoding mechanism, it was slower than dirt.

John Bender created Vagrant[1] with me back in 2010. I don't consider it even close to the caliber of CoffeeScript, but I'd say that is a pretty solid contribution to the world.

I should also note that basically the only part of Vagrant that hasn't changed in the past 3 years are the parts John came up with based on some pretty impressive mathematical underpinnings.

Research almost always appears useless on the surface, but it is what makes all of what we do on these clicky-clacky machines possible today.

> but your genes won't pass to the next generation unless you reproduce.

The comment on which I commented said something along the lines of "you might as well just die if you don't reproduce", in reference to evolution. Yes, that is true (in regards to carrying on genes), but that's not the point I was making. I essentially said in today's world, if you're successful in establishing a business which creates jobs, you are essentially harboring other's abilities to reproduce. I guess you could say you can "indirectly reproduce" due to globalization and technology.
The point of this document is that SPDY will be the basis for HTTP 2.0. Until HTTP 2.0 is finished, I would expect Google and others to keep shipping SPDY implementations.
I don't know if this qualifies, but it's definitely not done by Google:

It's not a "study", per se, but it does corroborate Google's claims.
Nook was the second major entry as a consumer e-reader but lost because they didn't think about user experience. You went into the store to download and buy ebooks? Convenience anyone? No? What about the lower secondary color screen before the color came out. Why? Then it was a rootable android device, not so bad, but they just didn't focus on what was important. Their online book store sucked compared to Amazon. They just couldn't compete. Also had a mortar business tying them down, but that isn't much of an excuse because Amazon had a ton of other stuff on their plate. Seriously, from what I hear from someone that interviewed- they had no clue what they were doing on the online side and wanted to reinvent it but didn't know how. It has been a huge fail.

I like their mortar stores but I haven't shopped there is ages, so I imagine that others are the same. They need to drop the nook or at least completely reimagine it and rebrand it (nooks are for english muffins), start up a second online team completely physically separate from the current one hiring top talent for UX and focus on a non-backlit color e-ink screen for whatever the rebranded ereader is called. The mortar stores aren't cheap to run either, and most stores are way too huge for the amount they sell. That needs to change also.

Basically, they need serious, serious help. It is a shame that B&N used to be the epitome of a bookstore, but now it is seriously flailing against a company that sells more other stuff than it does books. But who knows, maybe taxes will kill the Amazon giant.

Right, the price is very steep. With that cost, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon would be a much better choice. I would've expected Dell to be able to sell this at a much more competitive price point. But in this case, he got it for free, which is a completely different story.
FWIW, Opera 12.1 and Firefox 15+ support SPDY, so it's not a Google-only protocol. The only major browsers left are Safari and IE, which are both slow at adopting new tech.

The general principle is that all of Syria's traffic travels through 4 physical cables. Given this, it is relatively simple to disable all of the edge routers, so their is no path into or out of the country. Other countries may not be able to do this nearly as easily, because of having more redundancy, with some edges safe from the government.

Concept Design for Instagram Of The “Future”
Holy shit, seriously who is running the EFF these days? I haven't checked in since the 1990s. This was the absolute WORST article on privacy I've ever read in my life.

FUUUUUU... did they just advocate for people to use Hushmail? The same proprietary, for-profit organization that when contacted by the FBI they present the user with a decoy login screen so they can capture your password in the clear and then decrypt your entire history to hand over to the feds?

Nobody should be using hushmail in 2012, not after multiple court cases that have detailed exactly what hushmail has done for the feds. Hushmail has sold their users out so many times I can't count. It's useless cloud encryption nonsense.

If you really want to send an anonymous email, you use mixmaster, torrified. Period.

If you need a method to be contacted by people who are clueless you then sign up to privacybox.de a free service provided by the German Privacy Foundation and you upload your public PGP key and have it forwarded to a tormail account. Reply through mixmaster encrypted

If you're really paranoid you have mixmaster post encrypted emails to alt.anonymous.messages and skip centralized email servers like tormail all together

http://anonymous-proxy-servers.net/en/help-live-cd/jondo-liv...

This is how send email torrified with Jondo live privacy CD, or just install mixmaster on your own linux/bsd computer and use full disc encryption + pgp.

Screw the EFF after reading that tutorial. It should be burned to the ground and an entire new organization built if this article is their best advice.

If it truly is a virtual brain, wouldn't it learn emotion as it develops? Humans are not necessarily born with love and compassion, we are taught it over time, otherwise such things would simply come naturally to us, which we all know is not true. How else could we explain people neglecting their kids and those kids turning into sociopaths, or how young children are more self-centered than adults? It would certainly seem to me that our emotional responses evolve as we continue living, so there's definitely a lot of "nurture" involved. I'm not an expert on any of this by any stretch of the imagination, but this just struck me as a logical fallacy: if it really is a brain, wouldn't it just learn this stuff naturally?

Sure thing. I don't have a better link, but I was tangentially in the telecom industry at that time.

Looking back, it seems like the people betting on "convergence" were right. With iPads getting smaller and smartphones getting bigger it seems like we're trending towards one device that's slightly too big to fit in a pocket.

You're already comparing unlike samples. The base rate for startup success is constrained by ... starting a startup. Folk who rock up to the YC offices are already self-selecting into that group.

> But, you have to ask, why are they still using PHP??

If you read the comments, you'll find the answer further down. They do address it. At their scale, all languages/platforms break and they would need to invest the same amount of time and effort getting it to work.

It won't make a difference if you switch to the latest hipster language. You'll still need an effort of this magnitude to get it to scale the way they need it to.

Furthermore, rewriting an entire code-base is a monumental undertaking that is both expensive and complex. Especially for something as large and diverse as Facebook. It also makes zero business sense and Facebook is a business.

Why should they take a risk with a new code-base, when what they're doing is clearly working? PHP just works.
Skrillex is derivative but Chicane is original. That's a new one. I say this as a fan of both.
You seem to be claiming that quantum mechanical effects are somehow non-physical? It's not too crazy to speculate the brain leveraging quantum mechanicals effects to do something (although I agree, as a prerequisite for consciousness is a pretty big claim). Considering evolution has already leveraged these effects in smell and photosynthesis, which we do have evidence for.

It's more than that. Here are some features that other browsers have that IE10 still doesn't have:

* SPDY (supported by Firefox, Opera and Chrome)

* FlexBox (partially supported in IE10, FF and Safari, full support in Chrome and Opera)

* WebGL (partial support in FF, Opera and Safari, full support in Chrome)

* Shared WebWorkers (fully supported in Chrome, Safari, Opera [even BB browser...])

* File API (partial support, full support in FF, Chrome, Safari, Opera [also BB browser...])

* WebM/Ogg (fullly supported in FF, Chrome, Opera)

There are a few things that IE10 has that other browsers don't have yet, but knowing M$, this is likely the last update for a year or so. I expect FF and Opera to catch up soon in those places where they lag behind.

Sure, IE10 isn't that bad, but there are still some things that can't be used yet that developers (like myself) really want (especially a unified video format...).

Well, yes. The Chinese Room claims that there is a gulf between being able to pass a Chinese Turing test versus being able to actually understand Chinese and have intentionality.

Unlike intentionality, however, emotions aren't just for show: I act differently, depending on my emotions. For example, when I'm angry, I sometimes act irrationally. My actions, therefore, depend on my emotions. To program emotions (anger), and their effects (irrationality) is difficult (how do you program irrationality?).

For example, the robot your GP linked to is different from other robots because it has "obvious emotional expressions". These emotional expressions probably don't translate in to different behaviors; when the robot has an angry expression, it's not going to hit the child it's playing with, it's just going to display an angry face.

So, yes, there is a difference between ersatz emotions and real emotions. That's why the Chinese Room argument isn't quite a parallel. For the Chinese Room, it's hard to tell whether or not the computer has intentionality just by speaking to it; for an emotional robot which acts, it's easy to tell whether or not it has actual emotions.
My thought was that it was proximity based. If you traveled to far away from the screen/device the pairing would be broken and you'd be logged out. Much like how bluetooth mice/keyboards work today.

Steve, I agree with you that this is a lot of change for something in preview, but didn't Rails 3 have some last minute changes before its release as well, and 3.1 was a big jump also?

Matz, Shugo, and Charlie will figure it out soon enough, but it is interesting. What is more upsetting to me really is the version number. 2.0 implies some major changes, but 1.9 was more major. It should be 1.10, and then they should work on something more revolutionary for 2.

There is a lot of pressure on Matz also. They really need to spend more time on it.

It was posted that international calling has also been disabled, as well as cellular I believe. Unfortunately, I can't locate the source.

It is the same source in which it stated that the data center that handled the BGP routes was being held by 6 remaining techs whose current location is now unknown.

I wish I could find the link as it proves much of what the OP posted. Not to mention I would love to see someone repair one, let alone four cables in fifteen minutes. Heck, I bet it may take more than fifteen minutes to cut one.
I really hate to be a "genre pedant", but Dubstep is a descendant of garage, dub, drum and bass and a few other styles from the very late 90s early 00s in England. "Early techno" is Detroit in the 80s.

If you're correcting someone on nomenclature please be more accurate, and if you're trolling, please be funnier.
Great comments everyone. We agonized about bluetooth. If we can get bluetooth into the mojio without affecting the delivery dates, we intend to include it in the current version - no promises right now though. That way, people have the option to go without a data plan as needed. Also, there's no data plan lock in to mojio so we are looking for ways where people can either add a device to their existing cellular plan or just pay for months where they need it. We are also exploring ways to offset data plan costs. If we can get a sufficient user base, we all get to enjoy the economies of scale.
