It's worth noting that Google devices typically do not need to be rooted. For example, Chromebooks have a switch you flip if you want root. (And, Google even advertises AdBlock in the Chrome Web Store. So it's not certain that you will be forced to see ads in Glass.)

It's the cell-phone carriers (or OEMs) that want to sell you non-rooted devices, and that's a battle even Apple hasn't won.

However, I don't think it's applicable to groupon's situation

That is debatable. Consider this: Amazon started off just selling books, today they are gunning for Walmart. At the time, people raised similar objections and Amazon took heat for years for remaining unprofitable. No one is complaining today.

Similarly, I see Groupon's deals business as just one product. There are signs from their recent aquisitions that they might diversify with new products targeted at the same small businesses(such as credit card processing).

Now, just because it all ended well for Amazon doesn't mean the same will happen for Groupon. I am just pointing out that it is not a foreign strategy to prefer growth over profitability for many years after the IPO.
It certainly wasn't as ugly as the atrocities that have replaced it.
Could you please offer an argument instead of an opinion? Why should Google fulfill any of your demands, aside from you wanting it?

Could you please outline how google.com is turning into a web portal like yahoo.com?
After about a decade of testing people's web applications, SiteMinder has defnitely emerged as the standard third-party tool for SSO.

Many years ago, it seemed like people were fairly evenly split between Siteminder and another one (I think it was called GetAccess, but the fact that I can barely remember it is probably an indication of it's current popularity).

Siteminder is a good solution (and I've probably tested about ~150 web applications over the years that are using it).

It's caused my attack plan to go from "Let's see how fundamentally broken this company's home-grown SSO solution is" to "Oh good, they use Siteminder. Let's see what areas they haven't implemented it properly in."

That's an important distinction, and the bulk of issues I've found with Siteminder over the years have all been in identifying specific pages or transactions which aren't properly using the SMSESSION. I found a forehead-slapping issue recently where there was one page that wasn't properly validating the SMSESSION (it was just checking to see that it existed). That page happened to be the "reset password" page, and it was possible through a series of redirects to modify anyone's password to whatever you wanted, even if you didn't have a valid account on the system.

And that's kind of the problem, which is that even using someone else's SSO mechanism (which, again, Siteminder is as good as any one I've seen over the years), If you've screwed up the implementation for any transaction or on any page, you're still screwed.
OpenSCAD isn't meant to be a general-purpose programming language. It's a declarative language, like HTML.

That said, there's OpenJSCAD if you like variables. And also, speaking of the devil, there is a programming language CAD in Haskell! It's call ImplicitCAD.

It looks like my idea of augmented reality is different from google's.

The features and functions shown in that video were basically removing the pain of pulling your phone out of your pocket. It was, essentially, a more elegant system than strapping your phone to your face.

It's a good start for the idea of putting processing power in front of your vision, but I wouldn't buy it until it actually augments my reality. If I look at my friend it should show upcoming appointments between us. If I look at a concert poster it should bring up links for articles about the band, reviews, links to buy tickets. That would be augmentation.

Every browser has its quirks on errors. At least IE will give you stack info from window.onerror even without a try/catch, although they didn't get the file name right until IE8. The "line 0" errors are often due to eval scripts where there is no source file, it could even be something like a bad JSON string being passed to a JSON.parse shim.
Ask HN: Is my account flagged? I don't earn upvotes
I noticed that for my last few posts to HN, I am not earning any upvotes. I tested this with two friends today and asked them to upvote my link from the new page. No points were registered.

Any ideas as to what is causing this, or how I can correct it?
Kids learning about computers have a slightly different set of problems to solve than programmers being paid to program. The hard part of programming is integrating with the real world; DrScheme solves that problem by making its own world.
One of the performance advantages of C is the sheer amount of detail that's left to the implementation. By contrast, languages like C# and Java are typically much more tightly specified, which prevents optimizations that are not provably correct. This is not a matter of JIT vs non-JIT.
I agree that in a way, this would only intensify effects of camera-equipped cellphones. I have a pet theory that ever-present camera-phones are responsible for at least some of the drop in crime in the last decade. And while the controversy has gone away, there were a lot of overblown concerns about "camera-phones in locker rooms" in the early 00's.

The difference is speed. You'd always have a camera aimed at whatever you were looking at. If you saw a mugger grab a purse, you might not have the presence of mind to fumble with your phone, but you might be able to press a button or say "take picture" (or whatever). I'd imagine that a decrease in response time could be a real deterrent.

I know there've been spy cams forever, but I'd argue that merely owning one (let alone openly displaying it) would mark you for suspicion among a lot of people and I don't think they're widely used. I'm not saying it's the end of the world, but there are some new privacy norms that will be established if these are to take off.
Most of the folks I know frown on the bluetooth headsets as well - outside of a practical use (hands-free phone while driving).

Both Herb and Miguel seem to be writing on a flawed assumption, which is that JIT will only ever apply optimizations that can be proven safe. As I understand it, this is true for CLR implementations. And if that were the case generally, there would be no significant-enough difference between the set of optimizations available with AOT and the set of optimizations available with JIT, and JIT would never be "as fast as C".

But this disregards one of the major selling points of profiling + optimizing JIT: you can apply optimizations that cannot be proven safe and you can get away with it. This means you can not only be "as fast as C", you can implement a JIT that will mop the floor with C.

Good JITs are already taking advantage of this, and the very first comment on Miguel's article points this out. This (four-year-old!) article by Charles Nutter explains it a bit more in the context of the JVM:

In a theoretical world you might in principle be able to do more with Android, but given the "iOS First" approach that major developers take, it's hard to argue that it lets regular users "do more" in the real world.

I don't understand why you'd ask. How would that injure them?
Instead of using dcpu.skip, why not just (d->pc += !res)? This way you don't have to call dcpu_step() again before getting to the next instruction and more accurately follow the way the hardware would likely work.

Microsoft had a research OS called Singularity that was written in C# mostly and could be run in real memory mode because they didn't need the barriers.

I think that as the way information is handled transforms and evolves the world will have to adapt.

I suspect getting floor plans of each and every store where these glasses operate wouldn't be feasible so having staff around to point people to specific books may still be useful. But I strongly believe that we shouldn't shun a new technology on the basis that it renders a current job useless. Just think of how many jobs that computers destroyed, and made.

I'm always excited when I think of what the future will look like because so much has changed with the Internet, and so much will continue to change as products like smartphones, tablets and AR systems come into play.

Imagine if someone from the 1800's could visit 2050. He might assume we are all extremely high-functioning schizophrenics.
I agree with chromatic below; Java and C++ do not teach you OO. They teach you cut-n-paste without a text editor. (When Bar extends Foo, you're copying-and-pasting Foo's code into Bar, and then tweaking it. Or at least that's how class-based OO is used a good percentage of the time.)

A better way to program is with interfaces and composition via delegation, something that Java and C++ support but have no syntax for making it easy. Perl's Moose object system, on the other hand, has easy support for composition via roles and delegation via ... well, delegation :)

And, you have "extends"-style OO available if you think it's the right solution to a particular problem. So really, I think it's a fine way to learn OO. Doing things right is easier, if you decide to do them right.

(We do Java OO right at Google, but it sure involves a lot of typing and @hacky-attributes. And I've never seen good Java OO anywhere else.)
He needs 'lit' so dcpu_opr() can uniformly return a pointer for all results, including literal values.
"Boom is proportional to weight, and a small supersonic business is likely to meet that level"

Really? I would expect it to be relaated to size and shape.
Given that Google is not about search anymore but about Google all those acquisitions make sense. Now Google totally controls the biggest assets online (not counting facebook). They could also know as much now as they would like to know about you to give them, data-wise, more than just a controlling position online. So the seperate entities don't even have to be profitable if they generate enough data exhaust for the mothership (what they clearly do).
I don't think Win7 alone can account for 2 GB at login, even with SuperFetch.

There were probably a few programs that run on startup (antivirus, IM, OEM-specific crapware if it's a laptop, "speed launchers" like adobe reader, updaters)
At 70PNLdB, I doubt anyone in their car could hear it. In fact pretty much only rural quiet areas will hear it.

70 PNL dB is fairly loud, it will be very noticeable in urban areas and extremely disruptive in rural areas. 65 dB Ldn is the target for normal aircraft and most experts agree that limit is way too high.

The research represents a significant decrease in noise from supersonic aircraft, but we're a long way from "quiet."
Being bad at programming is not hard, anyway.
If you want to improve the returns on your 401k, a buddy of mine runs http://kivalia.com, where they provide advice on allocating the money to funds available in many companies 401k's.

If your company is not listed, you can easily create a new plan (clever crowd-sourcing ;), which then gets optimized. You can also get feedback on your current allocations. HTH.

Yes, there is a social contract in Web 2.0 that these services are being provided in exchange for data mining. If you post nothing but encrypted blobs you are breaking the contract and you should expect your account to be closed.

This service is actually worse than the previous ones because instead of mooching off other sites to host the data they actually host it themselves. There's no business model to pay for their hosting.
no worries, just let us know when you're ever state side.
I used to live in Paris, France so I know how scary the idea of relocating to a new place is.

The JVM is quite happy to speculatively apply optimizations that are not provably correct, and has done so for years. Have a look at the link in this comment:
