That's the issue though, you can't really learn the format without doing work in it.

There needs to be a "Oh, pushback, let me listen then change things" that many people lack when they're not experts in the area.

That said, there are people who listen exceedingly well when they're not experts and are a pleasure to work with.
Yes, firefox support will get there eventually... It just came out and I'm a solo developer - this is my side project. Thanks for checking it out!
Personally, I like dark bars, since they contrast with the webpage, so I use a dark Firefox theme. Now Google's bar seems just another Firefox toolbar here, it almost seems customized ;)
Paul Adams, the previous social research lead in the Google UX team, explained why context matters in this very interesting presentation (12 months old!):

http://www.slideshare.net/padday/the-real-life-social-networ... (discussed at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1867807 )

According to his blog ( http://www.thinkoutsidein.com/blog/ ), he now works at Facebook, and focuses "on researching and designing better ways for businesses and people to communicate and interact". My guess is that Facebook is already preparing its response...
Ok, this site just seems like a worse version of r/IAMA. I can't really see the appeal.
Bringing Video to the Next Wave of Connected Devices
>I sure it's a minority of the google user base having this issue, or I'm sure it would be dealt with.

/ Presumably it's better for Google to have you use one account and hold your real identity there converging all your work and social online aspects in the same place. I see it as broken for the user but better for Google as it pushes users towards single accounts and real identity.

Or if you like Google's service, as I do, but care about your privacy, as I do, you can use Scroogle: http://www.scroogle.org/

It's a secure (SSL), anonymous (no cookies), ad-free Google interface. You can make it the default in your search bar in any browser either by hand or through an extension. Note that the results are much more minimal (no links to similar articles, cached versions, etc.), which you may prefer, as I do, or not.
It does in the "normal" Gmail, but not in Apps.
beck5 pointed out that it's a demo limitation, so that is good to know

Well, MacRuby is a language on top of Objective-C. You can use Cocoa with it, but you should be able to use the Chameleon framework too, assuming it is GC-friendly (otherwise, adding GC support shouldn't be hard). His points don't make much sense to me.
I think they could simply offer a choice, much like they do with the background.

However I think it should default to the light blue and be saved as a cookie for those who prefer not to be logged into gmail all the time.
I regret sounding like that guy, but Crossfit didn't invent "scaling" or measuring your workouts. I know you're not making that claim explicitly, but the way you framed "Crossfit includes measurement!" can be misread.

The concepts of record keeping and adjusting volume/intensity/exercise selection to the trainee are older than dirt. I'd be surprised if there aren't clay tablets with rep counts on them in a museum somewhere.

In its defence, Crossfit:

* Gets people off their backside to do actual hard training,

* Provides social structure to encourage consistent training, and

* Introduces people to Oly lifting, which as an Oly lifter I don't begrudge at all.
Clean Code with Swing and Scala
If you're looking for a suggestion of things to do, I can tell you something that the posters of the original ad didn't do that rubs me the wrong way: Respond to people who have emailed you, even if it's just to say "hey we got your email".

I emailed the company from the original ad because we may have been a great fit (seemed great on paper at least), but heard nothing back at all. Who knows if they put a typo in their throwaway email address, or just don't care; but to me it says a lot about how people run their business.

I know it certainly killed my interest in whatever they were working on.
I'm hoping they're doing something clever with it.

Like showing the last people online or the most frequently interacted with etc.
Questions to ask and things to look out for when interviewing for a startup
The block elements (like the search button) look nice and are touch-friendly.
It also reminds me of Windows Phone 7.
Isn't the top-right of the sidebar an "obvious and easy link"? Lots of folks put it there. I bet that's where you looked first.
Internet Censorship Storm Is Coming, Warns Schmidt
Sorry, but you just spewed a bunch of crap about market making and algorithmic trading that has no basis in fact. reading and blindly believing zerohedge is just as bad as watching cramer and calling yourself a trader. I will address one comment, instead of wasting space on many.
You claim that 25-75% of volume is made up by algo traders. I agree, and its probably closer to the 75%. However, this is meaningless. Since the beginning of trading more than 50% of volume is made up of speculators/market makers. It's always been that way, except now that its computers doing it people spaz out.

The only difference is now the spread on stocks is a penny or less instead of 25-50 cents or more. Damn computers arm race!
How on earth did you manage not to notice "New Google Web Fonts Interface (google.com)"?
well, personally I would much prefer only google having my information (and using it for google ads or whatever they use it for) than a bunch of unknown third parties.

But that is assuming that google does not pass it off also, which im not quite sure of
On the images/code drawing points: are there any benchmarks for this? I've been writing meticulous CGGradient type stuff recently, should I just make a gradient in Photoshop and call it a day instead?
Whoops! I just did a Google image search and found that image, it wasn't mine. I didn't realize it wouldn't link properly.
Out of curiosity, do you know or have a hypothesis for why you were invited? It seems like there are a decent number of people here who have been invited, but many who have not, with a similar trend for #googleplus on twitter, and I've yet to discern a sensible pattern.
To me, it looks like an accessible-to-normals version of r/IAMA and I see the appeal clearly.
Your statement about CrossFit encouraging a lack of proper form is patently false. That is a common, and false, criticism of a great fitness program.

CrossFit encourages you to work fast because intensity is correlated with power and results. Power -- what we want to build a capacity for -- is simply work over time. Results come more quickly to intense training because the body has shown to adapt faster to (relatively) intense stimuli. crossfit.com is covered in references for the interested.

Form is a key part of these movements, but learning a proper squat or clean is the endeavor of a lifetime. No one is perfect at significant load here. CrossFit teaches a balance of these elements that maximizes fitness in the athletes. Injury due to improper form or overtraining is contrary to what CrossFit wants to achieve.

Some people take things too far. Some people not far enough. CrossFit simply wants you to push your relative limits each time you do a WOD. That is how you get better. You're never going to be a great race car driver taking practice laps at 30mph.

There is more to say, but I'd challenge you to find a good affiliate and try it out. Experience is a grand teacher.

I'm CrossFit certified.
The client works fine with other Git servers, and uses your standard SSH keys.

"Death to the SSH key" applies only to GitHub interactions — getting a list of your repos, for example.
Firefox = Primary, Chrome=Secondary, IE9=test. Generally works OK. Still a bit painful though. Especially now that Apps/gmail are consolidated.
I'm confused. How does a single large mbox file of all emails in a GMail account map directly to GMail's structure? That's the the OP was asking for.
In general, it's not a new idea; software companies have long sold expensive authoring software for their free viewer programs. Shockwave, Flash, QuickTime, RealPlayer, and Viewpoint have all tried to use this business model for browser plug-ins. However, it's the most direct attempt I've seen to apply the business model to an already open standard.
You do realize that POP only supports your Inbox, right? The protocol has no concept of 'folders' or 'tags.'
There's a nightly beta for Android that addresses the connection issues. I got an APK from the support some weeks ago and I can confirm that the connection issues have reduced dramatically.
There may be some glitches, but I'm actually grateful for the ability to log into multiple accounts at the same time. I still remember, one year ago, the headaches of logging out / logging in all the time (or using an Incognito tab)...

Google only added multiple sign-in last year ( http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2010/08/google-multiple-sig... ), and, when you use it, there is a big yellow alert message that explains the limitations:

"Not all Google products support multiple sign-in. When switching between Google products, the account you’re currently using may change.

Google products not listed above will default to the first account that you signed in to using your current web browser session."

So, yeah... It's frustrating, but I understand how integrating multiple sign-in in all their apps might take some time.
FB's initial roll out was to people in the same (real life) social circles. You can't do social networking with a bunch of random people across the world.
If only it was that simple! Last time I checked, there were several solutions to integrating buy now buttons with google analytics conversion tracking. Each one 'almost' works, but fails to track some percentage of conversions. The net is littered with posts from people trying to solve the problem.

The 'correct' solution, is that paypal can callback to a URL at your site with details of any completed transactions. You need to run a script at that URL, that will put HTTP request through to googles tracking servers, pretending to be the customer. The trick is matching up the information received back from paypal, with the customers browsing the site and spoofing the request to googles tracking servers.

I believe a consultant wrote a blog somewhere explaining how he implemented it for a client. When I looked it, it would take about 3 or 4 days of effort to code up a solution.
This is kind of a weird "side complaint", but: despite being a humongous guy, I actually have reasonably sized wrists. The wakemate, when it arrived, had a wrist band so small (and if there were sizes on the site I'm certain I would have ordered the largest one) that I gave it to my girlfriend's little sister (who likely never used it), as I knew there would be no way I'd be able to wear it. I wonder if this has also been handled in 2.0 ;P.

What meta information does GMail have that you can't get from downloading your emails over POP or IMAP (other than tags)?
tl;dr Skype finally (they took down all documentation for over a year) releases their SDK/APIs with runtimes for various platforms that allow pretty much anything that Skype can do, in particular: video.

To get into the program, developers need to pay a one-time $10 fee.

I have a question regarding the runtimes (https://developer.skype.com/skypekit/development-guide/skype...): does anybody know if that could be used inside an iOS or Android app? Not necessarily approved for the AppStore but for internal development.

Ditto. GCF would be a better recommendation all around. Worth noting: both of these projects don't require admin privs to install.
"Passive virtual space", neat term. I've wanted something similar for my living-room screen for a while. In some towns, people used to see their neighbors out on their porch and go over for a chat... but my friends are all across town or state/country/globe. So when not in use for something else, why not let the big screen break that spatial and mental barrier to casual chats.
It's only available if you jailbreak your iPad. If it's not available by default in Cydia, there's a repository you can add to download it. The controls don't always feel 100% right, but it does work like a charm.

Alternatively, the new-fangled remakes of the first two Monkey Island games are available for sale on the App Store proper.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or these are genuine concerns. Black is not my favorite design color but I think it works well for Google and contrasts well in this case.

The black bar at the top is like working at night time, Google (the content) being the light that guides the way. Blue bars work well on the bottom, giving the feeling of floating peacefully in the ocean, yet at the top cause distress - as if the user is drowning. Yes, I'm making this shit up and trying to sound as ridiculous as OP.
I noticed the same... they have never been smooth on Firefox (Windows 7 64bit), but now they aren't even smooth in IE... can anyone else confirm that?
I use SourceTree. It's not free, it's definitely not cheap, but it's badass. http://www.sourcetreeapp.com/ (I have no affiliation, just a happy customer)
That's what I meant in the above comment, there's no jailbreak for the iPad 2 and they don't know when there will be one. It's as useless as a condom in a monastery.
Feature request: don't force me to sign in with twitter. I understand having the option and even encouraging it, but I don't actually like twitter and don't want to use it as my identity/login. I don't want to use Facebook for that either, though I'm sure it would be wise to offer that as an option.

Please support OpenID and good old non-social username/password logins.
I think if you switch it to "all mail", it downloads everything. Though you might be right.
Apple Patches Security Holes in Java for Leopard, Snow Leopard
Domain squatting is a specific term, it means someone who registers in bad faith to infringe on another company's trademark. Let's be clear about that.

Yes, the bad faith intent is the major issue we are trying to deter. There are way too many domain squatters who buy domains solely with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of an entrepreneur looking to create a service for the public. This is the fundamental issue at hand.
Apple Refunds Some Final Cut Pro X Purchases

Of course, writing a few apps on the side is also probably the best way to build a portfolio to show new potential clients.
>(since an alarming number of people use passwordless ssh keys).

Then I'll amend gregschlom's comment to further say I wish passwordless ssh keys did not exist.
Hmmm, I'm having the same problems with one of my sites. I have no proven solutions for you, but I would suggest:

* Try and engage with the lego community - post to forms, blogs, etc. The lego community is very large online, with many active forums. Even if you just have a link to http://tinkerbrick.com/ in your forum signature, people will click it.

* Offer up free review samples for prominent blogs in the lego community
.
* Run competitions in the lego community, offering up your iphone cases as a prize.

* Purchase google ad words.

* Write articles on your site, and try to get them linked to from other lego related sites.
These APIs are not well-suited for git-like version control.

They're document-oriented, rather than project oriented (or if you present git repository as bundle, you lose nifty per-document presentation).

iCloud may force creation of versions (commits?)

There's no branching. There's lots of locking and exclusive access.
A better analogy:

You step into someone's hot tub and the water was (actually) boiling. Now you have second degree burns from the waist down. But you should have known better. It's called a hot tub, right? You knew there was a risk that you would be burned by the water. You're just an idiot for assuming that you could just jump in. Stop waisting the court's time. Zero dollars.

(There is no 'position of trust' with a 'hot tub operator,' nor do you require years of training to own/operate a hot tub).
Most other comments are commenting on the interface, which is definitely great and impressive. As for the fonts, they're not smooth for me either.
I'm blown away. Happy Tau Day!

There are things I would _really_ like from google - where I fit in to their adsense categories, for example. (I'm not sure whether this data is anonymised or not)

I just downloaded this data, all the data they would give me. I got my email address and my name back. I also got a handful of contacts. I consider myself a reasonably heavy google[-owned projects] user.

This, for the most part, is useless information.

What I would like is exactly what they would give to the government (obviously, after confirming fifty times that it's actually me they're giving it to).

Regardless of all that, I think this should boost Google's image. Very smart to focus on social privacy, when that's Facebook's one downfall.

Another recent addition: you can now purchase a larger version of the WakeMate wristband, should you find the original size too tight.

So yes, apparently that is fixed in 2.0 :)

Kidding. Sort of.
IMAP can be used to download the raw message bodies. hierarchical structure (aka threading) comes from the parsing of Message-ID, References, In-Reply-To MIME headers contained in the bodies.
Ok, I'm stupid: thanks. :(
Is the amount of bandwidth saved by Google in doing this really going to be all that cost efficient? I would chalk this up to a bug or poor design choice as well rather than something with the bottom-line in mind.
Google's old utilitarian aesthetic is finally evolving into a credible counter to Apple's design hegemony. I particularly like the clean, open design of the new Honeycomb interface, with less of a dependence on explicit box sections.
Huddle? Sparks? Hangout? Such flamboyant names!

Don't they realize their greatest hits have always been dull names: Google Mail, Google Chat, Google Apps, Google Search. OTOH their failures were just as flamboyant: Buzz, Wave, Knol... Is that the work of some expensive branding consultants?

But I hope Google+ catches on. FB needs some competitive pressure to start getting their act straight.
I'm guessing they wanted animation AND didn't want to exclude a huge percentage of viewers
The future of apps is not apps: it’s nanoplatforms
Even if privacy weren't a concern, I don't see the point in using either one. People have email. If I really need to talk to or share something with someone, I'll email them. Or occasionally, IM them. Or maybe even call them. Or if they're nearby, maybe go have lunch with them. I don't need to share everything every day at all times with everyone. Nobody is that interesting. Nobody is that interested. And nothing is that vital.
I went to Google fonts yesterday for a design project for the first time in at least a year and was very happy to see how much the collection has grown. This new interface is icing on the cake. Making these fonts so easy to use really opens the doors to much more creative and effective use of type on the web.
> You can only have add a person to one "circle".

Huh? Yes you can. (I just did.)
Let me tell you my WakeMate story. Its publication has been long overdue. It's a bit long, so please bear with me...

I pre-ordered. All excited. I love "life hacks", and this is right up my alley. Even encouraged several friends to jump in on the WakeMate wagon!

It finally arrived, and for the most part it worked. The app was buggy at first (iOS), but they did eventually get some updates approved that made things better. The algorithms employed on the website are questionable. They seemed to weigh certain variables a bit counter-intuitively, but what do I know. I went with it, charging it every other day and sleeping with it at night.

It was a bit snug, but I stretched it out and it was comfortable enough. The "WakeMate" logo stuff wore off in a matter of days though.

They emailed me a few days after receiving it saying to NOT use the charger that came with it because it was faulty and might catch on fire. Yikes. They never sent me a replacement. I just carried on with another standard USB charger.

Then, at some point, my WM started refusing to sync with the app. I submitted a trouble ticket, and they responded about a week later acknowledging a hardware bug. They requested that I send the original unit back to them in NoCal and proceeded to send me a new unit.

I didn't send the unit back to them, mostly out of sheer laziness. But, also, they were rather presumptuous in telling me to send the unit back. No mention was made of postage, or the inconvenience to me.

A new unit arrived and worked for about a week. Same exact problem. I submitted another trouble ticket and got NO RESPONSE. Never even an acknowledgement.

Months go by... crickets. Silence. Nothing. I mentally give up. At this point I had two dead WM's and I really didn't care about it any more, because my excitement was quite high, and I was really disappointed, mostly in the extremely poor customer service.

Then one day, someone at WM (apparently) decided to email everyone who had WMs that still needed to be sent back. Only this time it was more of a rather rude demand, not so much of a request. Again, no mention of postage, or apology, or anything remotely friendly.

The worst part of this? They CC'd all of us in a single email! So yah, we now had not only been treated pretty poorly in terms of customer service from a company with a broken product, but we were also being publicly shamed for it!

Now I cared again.

I was rather disgusted. I replied to all to share my disgust. Others replied to all and were considerably more vocal than me about their own disgust. That was ugly. After some time, they sent out another email admitting they should have BCCd us instead. Yah, amateur hour.

I never got any sort of acknowledgement after mailing the two units back to them. I can only assume they received them. I waited a full month before contacting them again.

This time I've asked that they reimburse me for my WM as well as the postage I incurred. After that I'm not interested in doing any further business with them. Still no response, other than a robot email saying they have lots of support requests blah blah blah.

This is sad because I really wanted to like this company! :(
Organizational Charts
You speak about "math community" as if is some exclusive, elite club. In reality, anyone who needs to read a formula or some proof is part of that group.

Also, a formula can be written once and read hundreds of thousands of times. Because of this, I consider ease of reading math notation far more important than efficiency of writing in it.
Auto Price Comparison Tools
The best way it helps is that it will give you a price comparison report of different model and make so it will happen in this that the price comparison toll will give you all the details of the models parts of each model and make.
