I support the movement to end passwords. For the average user, passwords are as insecure as they can get.

My (non-technical) family members keep using their birth dates, phone numbers etc as their passwords. I told them this is insecure, that they should use long random passwords, but their response is "I can't remember that". So I suggested writing it down, but they find that too much hassle. I managed to convince them to do it for some passwords, but they keep losing the paper (they just tuck away the paper somewhere and then forget where it is). Furthermore, they don't have computers, they ONLY use mobile devices, on which long passwords are awkward to type. So they revert to using phone numbers and passwords, with the attitude of "I'm not an important enough target, and if a hacker really targets me I am screwed anyway".

Some of them have difficulty grasping the concept of multiple passwords. To them, it's just "the Internet needs a password". If I explain to them that each website is a different vendor, they get confused. Just remembering which login username to use for a specific website (or whether it is a username or an emailaddress-as-a-username) is already difficult enough for them.

Mind you, we are talking about people older than 45. They have trouble using computers (even phones!) as-is, even before we get to the security part.

I ended up becoming their password store for their most important accounts. I setup random passwords for them, then when they need to do something (a few times per year) they have me login and do it for them.

The average user doesn't care enough about online security to really do something about it. They don't understand, or acknowledge, the risks. So we need to do everything we can to make security convenient.

The latest MacBook (2015) doesn't use USB internally for the keyboard and touchpad. As a result, Linux doesn't support it. I was thinking about writing patches to fix it (it does boot) but it looks far too complicated (I'm not even sure if the "protocol" is the same over different serial protocols).
Many of us often complain that our jobs would be much easier if only. This is a reminder to step back and realize that, sometimes, your job isn't supposed to be easy. Your goals are not necessarily your entire organization's goals, nor the entire nation or world's goals.
Yup, I truly love this feature. Aside from categorizing, it will even displays all the infos like hotel check-in, train arrival, etc in a timely manner.

Is it really that hard to push "Time cook -> 2 -> 3 -> 0 -> Start"? I mean come on I can understand wanting to optimize your life or whatever but complaining about microwave buttons seems a bit ridiculous.
> I think Pichai is making a distinction between handing over data they already own (eg. a Gmail account) and data stored on user-controlled devices, which must be hacked to access.

No, Pichai is making a distinction between giving the information after a correct process and developing a backdoor to slurp the data. It has nothing to do with cloud/device differences
I don't think it's as simple as that. The complaint is about the vulgarity of executive jargon. The underlying problem with it all is the belief that they are at the top of a non-meritocratic hierarchy. Positions that have been attained largely bullshitting and politicking (and of course hard work, just not necessarily productive hard work). The jargon is just a small part of that.

Fundamentally if someone can program well they will get hired. Whether one is suited to run a large company or not well its complicated and the outcomes often make the world (and indeed their companies) a worse place. At least that is the at least somewhat justified belief.

That said, personally I think it is reasonably descriptive. What I do object to is when it leaks into normal life. Get new 'content'... my you have got good taste in content (points to bookshelf)
Twitter doesn't seem like an appropriate medium for a response to this issue from a CEO of a major tech company.

What do you do about sites where the users don't particularly likely said providers? Not everyone uses Facebook or Google or Twitter after all, and a lot more would rather use an anonymous disposable account than one tied to an existing identity.

There's also the fact said systems seem to be a nice target for spammers. They're popular, so they're often attacked. And because they're often attacked, their anti spam defences don't usually last very long. So any spammer now has a nice way to get an account on near enough any site they like, while with a standalone system, they'd at least have to tailor their attacks to the site in question.

There's also the fact it silos much of the internet (or at least user information) within the systems of a few large providers, which gives a significant amount of control to said providers.
I think every field has its own subset of language that makes most sense to them. I am sure a lot of words that make perfect unambiguous sense to tech people, would confuse non-tech people who would say "why don't you simply say it like..."

The term "vertical" seems to be common amongst executives. I first came across the term when my father asked about the verticals of companies I was applying to. It appears to mean "line of business" or "field of work" or "subset of market". For example a company catering to textile industries, banks, pharmaceuticals, would have these "verticals".

So "content verticals" immediately made sense to me as "subsets of the content they produce".

PS: "we're deepening our reach into multiple markets by adding new content verticals." makes perfect sense because executives really do see the move as moving into multiple markets (or market segments) as each new magazine caters to a different class of people

I generically agree with your sentiment, but there are often times where a simple question causes me to reconsider humanities' goals. These "boring" questions become stratified and ultimately challenge and provide friction to my strongly held beliefs, where that which was once uninteresting has become supremely relevant.

PG is a boss and has done more for startups than anyone I know, but he isn't beyond critique. Boring questions are ripe with depth outside the capacity of CS and tech entrepreneurs, and deal with the realities of everyday people.
I think that the comments about the profitability of grocery delivery are off the mark.

You might be willing to learn from him if you want to be like him. And expressing how one feels about Rumsfeld because of extensive research done on the "subject", does not in anyway invalidate the purpose of argument.

Yep, it's a nice design. I'm looking at adding it to my next site.

Grocery delivery here in the Netherlands is booming, with the big supermarkets offering their own and several smaller players working on services. When I buy from the biggest supermarket here, delivery fee depends on the moment of the day you want it delivered (between 5 and 8 in the evening is the most expensive, e7 (~$10)); cheapest moment is e3 or so. But, if you buy some products delivery is free; this week it was 8 bottles of coke or so. It's pretty much always non-perishables that get you the free delivery. I don't think we've ever paid the delivery fee, maybe once or twice.

The price of the groceries is the same as in the shop. You get the specials and all. The ordering app they have even lists the specials right at the top, it's easier to order specials online than it is in-store. Dutch are very price sensitive, there is very little margin for marking up convenience.

I don't know how they can make money on this. I suspect they bet on being able to automate order picking within say 5 years and are providing the service now as a loss leader to get people used to the idea, and work out their processes using people before spending big on automation.
Well there is definitely some BS to it, as there is with any customer facing job. I'm sure you know though, after dealing with people's BS all day long, someone saying they are recording their call isn't going to phase you much, and if it were me I would be even less helpful since you've already started the call on an aggressive note and put me on the defensive.
In Germany every service that you can sign up for online but requires proof of who you are uses something called "PostIdent" -- and its a service offered by the post office where you take the form in with your passport (or ID card) and they punch all the details in the computer and 'verify' it's you. In a (more) secure future, I see this being the real password recovery mechanism. The other technique used by online banks etc... is to send your password reset to you by mail. This assumes that physical mail to your registered address is more secure than online quizzes.

I think both of these options will become the standard for anything where security matters.

"the idea of a negative income tax is to treat people who are poor the same way we treat people who are rich"

... BS ...

There is nothing the same about taking a significant amount of money from one group and giving a significant amount of money to another group, even if you use a unified mechanism to accomplish it. Regardless of how you feel about the issue, let's at least keep the discourse honest.

I'll be honest: although most people around here are fans of basic income, negative income tax, etc., I am not for one simple reason: the second that more than 50% of the population is on the 'receiving' end of things and not on the 'paying' end, the motivation of society as a whole to enforce responsible governance and efficient use of government funds diminishes significantly. The pain of waste just doesn't sting so badly when it's not "your" money being wasted.

As a nation, we already pay a disgusting portion of our total income tax revenue toward interest (over 25% if you exclude FICA income). As painful as it may be, at some point our country is going to have to own up to the credit binge we've been on and either significantly raise taxes & keep spending the same, or keep taxes the same & significantly reduce spending to keep our debt problem from getting further out of control. Alternatively, the federal government could reclaim control of the money supply from the federal reserve and inflate its way out, but this is also really a form of tax; if the assets & income you had yesterday are worth less today because the government printed itself some funds ... you have been taxed, my friend.

All of these things, however, would be political suicide and I don't expect to see it happen any time soon.
In the UK this is common too, all of the larger supermarkets such as Tesco, Sainsbury, and Waitrose do online delivery.

As you say they remember what you bought in the past, and our delivery slots can be booked for 60 minute windows.

Generally there's a flat-fee of £5 for a delivery, which is pretty good compared to having to having to do the job yourself.
It's very useful to use different types (for example, fixed point) in VBOs in order to save space and/or reduce CPU side processing.

Most people are not cognizant of these issues young or old. I don't find young people any more careful.
They won't. The Go authors value simplicity. Many people dislike ternary syntax and find it hard to read. Go errs on the side of verbosity and readability. It is sort of the opposite of Perl in that respect.
For the record, many of the microwaves I've used have required something more like "Time cook -> 2 -> 2 -> 2 -> 3 -> 0 -> 0 -> 0 -> Start -> Facepalm" than the intended "Time cook -> 2 -> 3 -> 0 -> Start".

TL;DR: pressing buttons is easy, but sometimes they press your buttons back.

I'm pretty happy with the free and near real-time Amazon Now. Amazon Fresh is one of the rare Amazon failures. Well, it's still around, but at $299/year (well, minus $99 for Prime) plus tips for delivery - it's expensive! I got the Express trial and was happy that I'll be able to save trips to Costco, but, no, I won't as they possibly offer less than 1% of Costco's inventory, so, it's a totally useless service for me as I still need to visit the wholesaler.
Those 2011 quad cores are powerful machines, especially for their size (thickness, mainly). I've used HP Elitebooks with similar CPUs, that are close to twice as thick, yet still have worse heat issues.

You've gotta work them pretty hard to start reaching thermal issues - as you are doing with lots of Chrome tabs :P

LastPass works pretty well on the phone.

You set up a master password, but you don't really have to remember it: you can use a shorter PIN to unlock LastPass. (The phone itself acts as the second factor.)

I think you have to enter the full master password whenever you reboot the phone. But that shouldn't be too often.

- Reduced need for stocking staff

- Less stores needed, just distribution centers. You could have your suppliers deliver in shipping containers and have your order picking robots (in a few years) pick straight from the containers. All you'd need is a big-ass warehouse with loading docks and a few cranes.

- Customer targeting and upselling. I'd spend more of my money in a store that would know my food preferences, family makeup, habits and that would advise me on what to cook. I'd even pay for a service that would let me pick, say on Sunday, what to eat for the rest of the week (guided by good suggestion algos of course) and would then deliver the groceries for that in one or more deliveries over the week. But even without paying for that service, it would let a supermarket get near 100% of a certain customer's total spending on groceries.

I've been ordering fresh groceries online for a few months now (Netherlands) and while I was concerned about that as well, this hasn't shown to be a problem yet. Vegetables and fruit are very well packaged, in big styrofoam containers that have plenty of room in them, and I've never seen them stack vegetables that can't handle it (i.e., putting some lettuce on top of a cabbage isn't going to damage the cabbage).

Obviously there will be variance between suppliers, but my experience has been good and contrary to what I expected.
EFF scorecard isn't meant to measure "how secure" an app is, it's supposed to measure how secure and free the application could potentially be.
