About Diagnostics & Usage (this is a link)

—

Here is the text behind the link:

Apple would like your help to improve the quality and performance of its products and services. Your device can automatically collect diagnostic and usage information and send it to Apple for analysis — but only with your explicit consent.

Diagnostic and usage information may include details about hardware and operating system specifications, performance statistics, and data about how you use your device and applications. None of the collected information identifies you personally. Personal data is either not logged at all or is removed from any reports before they’re sent to Apple. You can review the information by going to Settings, tapping General, tapping About and looking under Diagnostics & Usage.

If you have consented to provide Apple with this information, and you have Location Services turned on, the location of your device may also be sent to help Apple analyze wireless or cellular performance issues (for example, the strength or weakness of a cellular signal in a particular location). This diagnostic location data may include the location of your device once per day, or the location where a call ends. You may choose to turn off Location Services for Diagnostics at any time. To do so, open Settings, tap Location Services, tap System Services and turn off the Diagnostics switch.

You may also choose to turn off Diagnostics altogether. To do so, open Settings, tap General, tap About and choose “Don’t Send” under Diagnostics & Usage.

To help Apple’s partners and third-party developers improve their apps, products and services designed for use with Apple products, Apple may provide such partners or developers with a subset of diagnostic information that is relevant to that partner’s or developer’s app, product or service, as long as the diagnostic information is aggregated or in a form that does not personally identify you.

Usually, they've have a recruitment officer in the lobby of the TopCoder chat room. Very interesting competitions of varying skill levels.
Insects smaller than amoebas
Brandon, I completely agree. Though as someone who dabbles in mobile development on the side I am encouraged by recent trends. As developers become less willing to give away high quality apps for free or ruin the experience with advertisements, I think we will see a trend where more apps will be pay only and users will be forced to acclimate themselves to paying for apps in order to use the latest and greatest technology. I especially think the gaming side of mobile will help to drive away this resistance to premium. As hardware specs increase and the quality of games converges with those on PC and console platforms, I think the price will do the same. It will take time.

The linked page is probably not the best place to familiarize yourself with the tool, comparison page would be a better start, especially for those who worked with other memory-checking tools: http://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/ComparisonOf...

The tool does not detect uninitialized memory reads, and memory leaks are not in yet. However, if they claims about speed (only 2x slowdown) are true, this is huge.

Putting aside the layman for the moment, has anyone else found Chrome particularly annoying to use as a power user? There are so many issues, such as the uncustomizable download bar (can't even have it autohide!), the inability to fine-tune history/cache/etc. deletion, inabilility to set filetype-specific download settings, and so on.

And Firefox isn't that slow in its latest incarnations.

Yeah, the Googlers that developed ASAN approached Chrome security this past summer. We'd previously avoided similar tools on our fuzzing cluster due to unsatisfactory performance. We've been running ASAN on the cluster since then, and the results have been really impressive. It's helped find dozens of security bugs, many of which would have been missed through our previous means.

About a month ago the infrastructure team also added an ASAN bot to the waterfall, and I think the stability team was experimenting with it before the rest of us. So, ASAN has had a pretty big uptake in the Chromium project.

How fear and patience killed the best start-up I ever encountered
Honest question; in a small MVP like this, how would I, as a developer, ensure that I cannot access user data? I understand that you can encrypt at the app or database level, but at the end of the day I would have (or could get) the encryption keys (obviously in an established company there would be protocol about who has access).

I guess you could use the users own password to encrypt the data, but then you're pretty stuffed if they forget it. Ideas?

Of course not. If you bought the phone through a carrier that has CarrierIQ normally installed, then why would they make an exception for the 0.1% of customers who bought a smartphone off-contract?

So no, the name has nothing to do with it.

Of course. Chrome isn't really good for power users due to the less-powerful extension setups (can't even do true ad blocking). And it's of much less interest to companies due to the per-user installation setup and not being self-contained (it relies on the host OS for encryption, proxy handling, etc).

15 Questions to Avoid Social Media Horror Stories
The different "Worlds" are deinfitely true; However, I've been in embedded SW for almost 5 years and it's becoming clear that these worlds are all starting to bleed together.

An example is the Television I work on have about 50% of their SW that can be updated from the internet 25% that can be updated if a "tech" goes to a customers house and opens the set... and 25% that may or may not be upgradeable depending on X, Y, Z, the alignment of the planets, and the country you live in...???

However, TV manufacturers are beginning to use more web content and web technologies to develop look and feel for various features as well as using third party web based APIs to power large chunks of the new functionality.
I think you need to do a better job at clearly explaining why people should use your product over mint/other sites. Currently, it appears that I need to manually enter all my expenses. That is not gonna happen for most of the users. As an example, I just came back from a really hectic one week trip to seattle. I used 2 or 3 cards to pay at tens of places. Its not possible for me to now recollect what I spent during last one week. With mint, I can track all of it really easily. How can your site do a better job, and help me in this case?

Your site appearance is nice btw.
For some reason this site is unzoomable on android and is basically unreadable.

7 Ways Startups Get Tagged as Too Risky by Investors
The application looks nice.

BUT...

What else do you call a financial application which hasn't set its cornerstone as data protection.

I saw this app and thought it looked nice, I could see myself using it. I then read a bit more about it in the FAQ and I cannot use it. My financial data may not send the world into an economic downturn but it is something I care about and what to keep safe. If this application cannot do that then I cannot put my financial details into it...

If this was sorted out the app would look very promising. Such an apparent disregard for data protection isn't acceptable for a financial app and in its current state looks like it shouldn't be used.
Probably it is just me. But let me try to get it straight. We made something like Mint, but took away the tough components to implement for eg. automation, getting data from credit card spending etc. We justified it by saying that it gives you better understanding of your spending "on the go". No idea what that really means. Mint does give you fairly up to date information of your spending, budgeting and all kinds of good stuff. So while we were at it, we thought since we are doing less work ourselves than what Mint does and making users work harder by making them enter all their information manually unlike Mint. Lets charge money for it. Does no one else see problem with this approach?
I've worked with the team that built it, so I can verify that ASAN is definitely a Google project. Also, some other people have posted comments to links that verify the association.

As for the electric fence comparison, ASANs strengths are that it provides more detailed reports and detects more types of errors, but is still very fast. For example, ASAN will detect stack and global boundary violations, whereas electric fence will not.

I am very surprised to see that IE is so much stronger in the US. I always thought IE was strong in Asia and that that lead to its high market share. Does anyone have a theory as to why IE is stronger in the US than in the rest of the world?

Different ways to look at work ethic:

Mercenary (sneaky): "They're getting the exact amount of work from me that they manage to extract."

Mercenary (quid pro quo): "They're getting what they're paying for. If they want increased work ethic, they have to increase their pay ethic."

Mercenary (clever): "I will go above and beyond the call of duty in ways that get noticed by my boss."

Work ethic (intrinsic/weberian): "Work in the sweat of thine brow from dusk till dawn. I sleep well at night knowing I always do my utmost for my company."

Work ethic (LessWrong.com / game-theory): "It's utility-maximizing in the long-run to pre-commit to being the kind of person who has good work-ethic, even if there is no utility to be gained in a specific concrete situation."

Work ethic (soldier): "I'm a professional, I get the job done."

Hostile: "Fuck 'em!"

Snake: "Fuck 'em! But pretend to like 'em so I get a raise."

Survivalist: "Anxiety. Depression. Gastric upset. Make it through another day. They took my red stapler."

Ruthless prioritizer: "It's really too bad that I'm slacking off at work. But time/energy is scarce and my own projects have to take precedence, sorry."

Conscientious objector: "I'm not going to work hard for my company, 'cause they're at best neutral and at worst actively harming humanity."

That's what you get when you have an open community that thousands of people sign up to.

That is why I think it is more interesting as a place that aggregates links about other projects than as a project in itself. It's a decent place for getting an idea what is going on elsewhere (in the open at least). Not so much if you're looking for a community that's actually implementing something.
Like many such polls, this one needs an "Other" or "None of the above" option.

Yes, I switched back to Firefox for Pentadactyl, a complete vim-like environment in the browser. I tried all of the vim extensions for Chrome, but Chrome just doesn't expose enough (any) internal APIs to implement Pentadactyl.

Chrome extensions are limited to modifying the current page and displaying an extension icon. They can't modify the browser itself. (Although no extension system will ever compete with Emacs for fully modifying the host application, Firefox does a decent job.)
You did not say "App is worthless because of FAQ" so no point reading it carefully.

I do not think both people SHOULD know the stack or whatever.

As far as data goes, yes you're right. We should work on that a bit more.

I don't know what you mean with power user? I am a web developer and satisfied with the developer tools.

Unfortunately for me, I have thousands of bookmarks and for some reason that makes Pentadactyl awfully slow. I don't know what to do, as I start Firefox simply opening a website will take twenty seconds before Pentadactyl lets me type. Chrome is always very smooth experience. Pentadactyl is not. I'd use Pentadactyl if it actually worked right. I'm not happy with its performance.

Chrome has had a system installer for years: http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=11...

I'm also not sure what you mean by "not being self-contained." Chrome relies on OS subsystems where appropriate because it simplifies management and provides a consistent user experience--that's why we use the OS certificate store and proxy configuration settings. We've also seen quite a bit of enterprise uptake because Chrome is the only browser that provides full centralized management on all supported platforms (via Windows group policy, Puppet, etc.).
Pakistan has developed smartest nuclear tactical devices
