Your Content in our Services

Some of our Services allow you to submit content. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours.

When you upload or otherwise submit content to our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This license continues even if you stop using our Services (for example, for a business listing you have added to Google Maps). Some Services may offer you ways to access and remove content that has been provided to that Service. Also, in some of our Services, there are terms or settings that narrow the scope of our use of the content submitted in those Services. Make sure you have the necessary rights to grant us this license for any content that you submit to our Services.

You can find more information about how Google uses and stores content in the privacy policy or additional terms for particular Services. If you submit feedback or suggestions about our Services, we may use your feedback or suggestions without obligation to you.

Also it's the Google TOS it's not specific to GDrive.
This is so wrong. If you read the comments, or any of the actual terms of service, you'll notice the author is actually cutting out the parts that make these TOSes all identical. For instance, the Google one has: "Some of our Services allow you to submit content. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours." right before the paragraph that is highlighted in this article.

See: http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/24/2972228/cloud-storage-term... for the excluded parts of the other TOSes.
Fun product, the calls are an amusing touch.

I built something to scratch the same itch a few years back. It's open at https://github.com/kristjan/stars and deploys immediately to Heroku with just a few ENV variables to set.

Happy being happy, everyone.

I've been using this for a while. This lets you effectively search your historic tweets which for me is a killer feature.

Sometimes I think of things I'd like to do with Twitter but I don't do them because it would require writing some custom script. Using t many of these ideas are easy to just do quickly from the command line.
I wonder how many freelancers there are on a site with no open registrations, and if that comes close to "all" of them. You'll have to do better to get my email address.
publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content

Lines like this are usually included in terms of service to allow the provider to actually host and distribute that content. It doesn't sound like an ownership clause. It sounds like giving permission to Google to store your data so you can retrieve from anywhere.

And I agree with others, there is no doubt the terms will get tweaked to look like the others. But with one exception: they will include a clause to allow them to index your content for searching and potentially advertising purposes. I don't think most others would have a clause like that. Dropbox can search by filenames, but can they search content as well? I don't think they can.
This comes from them only having one TOS for all there services, it means it must cover everything from maps to YouTube.

Also as its been pointed out in the comets on the artical, Google need the right to publish you works if wish to share a document with someone, as Google are effectively publishing it for you.

The comments on the aritcal also make the good point that the TOS is taken out of context and sounds a lot worse than it is.

No, actually, that's how it works in JS. ASI doesn't "work" in all cases because a line break doesn't always indicate the end of a statement. No less than Brendan Eich wrote this himself, in his blog post reply to the whole "semicolongate" which happened a couple weeks ago.

I'm sure it feels good to be all righteously angry… but it helps to be right.
Agree. If you've ever seen Curb your Enthusiasm Larry David demonstrates this perfectly. He just always pushes it too far. Being weird is actually totally acceptable if you are confident and respond to basic social cues.

It also points out that all 3 companies TOS are prity much identical.

Exactly, not to mention that these are the TOS for all Google services and key language in that text specify that some services are treated differently:

Also, in some of our Services, there are terms or settings that narrow the scope of our use of the content submitted in those Services

very good insight. I too have noticed that intelligent people often consciously chose a character or archetype to adopt.
I remember coming across a malicious piece of javascript that found its way onto some websites a few years back. Just for fun, I traced it through the various stages to find out what it did. I decoded the js to find out that it downloaded an executable. I used objdump to look at the executable and through some tinkering and google searching found out it was packed with upx. So I unpacked it and I think I went through one or two more stages (with the help of people on various forums) before we got to the raw binary. Someone on the forums also ran it in a VM and we found out it connected to one of a handful of ip addresses. After some tinkering and looking through the code, someone on the forums figured out that it stole WoW account passwords.

It was a lot of fun and felt a bit like being a detective of some kind.
Google Drive is apparently proactively performing OCR on uploaded images. I think that counts as a derivative work. People really need to chill a little about terms of service.

I never thought that was an "American obsession". If it is, you might want to borrow from those Americans. Customer Support is not only a way to help users better use your product, it's also a chance to know your customer better. It's an opportunity to see through the eyes of a layman. If it's as simple as telling someone what button to push, use it as a chance to humanize your product. If it's really that simple, you both look like a genius (ok...not really) and really need to build a better FAQ.
I was under the impression that Firebug was being actively developed again. Is that not right? They had some really cool features that Webkit inspector did not last I tried it, which was fairly recently.
The Verge's decision to make their forums essentially look exactly like their articles in both design and URL structure is odd. Gives a lot of false credibility to any random.
not enough info. no privacy policy or anything to appease me about providing my email address. how does the "finding" work? do I get spammed by crappy jobs like every other "freelance work finding" service?

Also, fabric is the name of a pretty popular server tool... and i'm not sure how "fabric" translates to the sonar/radar image on the front page.
Of course -- in the comments on the tor.com article: "Worldwide distribution is a much harder problem. Most of our contracts with authors grant us rights only in certain territories; we can't just unilaterally rewrite existing agreements."

I'm really interested to see what they do with a Memory of Light (the final wheel of time book). Brandon Sanderson has been pushing for things like getting a free ebook when you purchase the hardcover, but when I saw him in melb a few weeks ago he was saying those kind of solutions where more for his own books. WoT was too big a deal for TOR to play around with.
I'd post what I'm doing on twitter more often if my close friends used Twitter. But they rarely venture outside of Facebook, so I don't bother.

Same with Path, I'd like to use it but I couldn't be bothered to cheerlead a new social network to them.

The same applies here, sadly.

Correct. They are declaring a license to do what they want with it. Sort of like you owning a car and me declaring a license to drive it if, say, you park in my driveway, which might be a fair trade. In that case, you are better off renting a monthly parking spot.
You're right, I probably should have left those out. Pathos has a nasty habit of creeping up on logos though.

After working with him, seeing him treat my team like crap, having him NOT PAY my team after them having to go through that and deliver great work (they basically rebuilt his only two products and built them right), and having to take my own money to pay my team instead (because I think running a business respectfully means paying good developers everything they deserve on time so they can worry about what they do best and not about IF they'll get paid) -- I think I deserve to throw a few disrespectful grievances there. We're human, after all.

I also respectfully disagree on the "nice" collaboration, but best of luck to the iDoneThis side of the collab.
A brief plug for my friend's command line tool TTYtter: http://www.floodgap.com/software/ttytter/

super-crazy powerful, has an interactive mode, is scriptable, etc, etc...

Also, I'm glad you are able to manipulate lists in T by just typing names (t list add presidents BarackObama Jasonfinn). This is a _total_ pain on the website where you can only manipulate lists by clicking about 5 buttons per person you want to add/drop from a list. Why can't I just type a list of names??
I think it is important for folks to look at Apple's balance sheet and understand just how amazing of a job they have done in what is nominally a 'hardware' business. 39B$ in quarterly revenue trounced Microsoft's $17B$. More than double. If you had asked me in '95 if Apple would ever have double the quarterly revenue of Microsoft I would have thought you were crazy. That is legendary execution.

Of course if they are pulling all that money in there has to be folks who would be willing to pull in just a bit less (in market economies) so it will be interesting to watch the response of folks like Google, Microsoft, and HP as they maneuver around in this space.

Songs will be sung of this time in technology :-)
Whitespace is significant sometimes, and not other times. That's the fact of the language design/ASI itself, not Thomas being contrary.

As to this:

leveraging it as a marketing opportunity for himself (and, by extension, his consulting and training enterprises)

Thomas doesn't consult any more, and hasn't for years, and we have almost entirely discontinued our training workshops, because they are too much work. However, when we want some extra cash and put one on, they sell out regardless of what we say or do, because Thomas' real life JavaScript experience (crafting amazing libraries which jumpstarted the dynamic web, used by millions) and my real life teaching experience speak for themselves.

Yours is a fallacious argument.
I wouldn't use "with" in most situations, but I like it in the testing code and for some DSLs, as it makes things more readable (again, personal style).

I think that once you start optimizing performance problems you need to 1) measure things anyway, and 2) fix on a case-by-case basis. (Don't optimize prematurely, etc.)

Like what everyone is saying, Yelp review system is very easy to game. Just create a one off profile, and hype the business. Yelp algorithm only allows good reviews getting posted while the bad ones are buried. Why? Because good reviews generate traffic to Yelp which in turn help Yelp getting money from advertiser.

Five stars review system is flawed.
Be honest though - it's not like companies like to develop technology that has no commercial value. Whether or not it's used in that way is a different question, but if it's a big company developing something, you bet it went through twenty levels of market research to make sure there is a buck to make at the other end.

It's still your choice what you do with it once the technology gets to you. I find it far more fruitful to look at what people do with the technology and how they end up screwing themselves with it. And by fruitful I mean frustrating.

The "$ wasted per month" metric doesn't make any sense for salaried employees (at which this metric seems targeted). Many salaried positions sport creativity as a bottleneck (I know this is certainly true for myself as a software engineer). That the productivity of employees in these professions cannot be measured in hours is inherently the reason that they are salaried and not hourly.

I strongly suspect that were the working hours of the measured employees were reduced to 35 hours a week that one would not see an equal reduction in productivity.

I think people are missing the main points of the article - so here they are again:

"Or, don’t trust what “wise” elders tell you."

"My recommendation: learn the language, and use it to your liking; and don’t rely or blindly accept what any “wise elders” tell you. Try to do something new and crazy every day. You might not end up using the crazy, but it’s the best way to master JavaScript. Develop your own style that you are comfortable with. Experiment."

these points are still up for argument, but really they are pretty trivial. __You__ should __experiment__ with them and see if they are okay to use for yourself. The main trick will be if they make your code easier to understand and/or perform better _everywhere_. As long as it helps one of those cases without the detriment of the other then go ahead, just be aware of why people argue over them.

Thanks for the insight. I hadn't seen horizon graphs previously, they're interesting and a great way to compact data and in a way that maintains readability.

Regarding line graphs, there is some visibility loss by having a a single line graph show a ton of servers. I tend to think that deviations that are worth noting tend to stick out. That isn't always going to be the case I suppose, but nothing is 100%.

I'm just not sure how this scales if I've got 100 servers with 2-3 metrics each that I'm tracking. Perhaps this is better for more of a detailed view than a dashboard where where more density is needed. They're certainly more readable then what we use today.
> To archive non-media files, 5 GB should be sufficient. To archive media files, pay $60/yr to Vimeo for video and $25/yr to Flickr for unlimited storage.

Note that Flickr will only archive certain types of media—you can't store your RAW files or other related stuff (presets, actions) with them. I believe Smugmug and a few of the other services do this, though.
Do they actually have support for Premier? I would pay $5/mo to know they won't randomly disable my account (or if they do, I can talk to someone).
Love the name (though I'm sure many would consider it sexist).
This appeals to an intuitive sense, but I question the validity of claiming that there exists an information dense format that does not require training to read. Do you have an example of one?
No, because many people aren't using browsers that update every six weeks, and even those who are don't get the same updates every six weeks.

In this case, as far as I can see, the only new "feature" they've shipped is actually to do with the update process itself, and it's a change that is pretty controversial at that. In fact, quite a few recent updates to Firefox (and Thunderbird for that matter) haven't really had much substance at all. Not exactly a great argument in favour of the need for such rapid updates.

"Creativity is the residue of time wasted.” - Albert Einstein.

As jobs require more creativity, the MBA way of thinking regarding production and resources becomes less and less applicable. Anyone who is creative knows that it is near impossible to just turn it on for a straight 8 hours. In my opinion, in regard to intellectual/creative jobs we need a new frame of reference rather than the 8 hours a day, 9-5 measurement - how about instead we just judge on results and rather than judging how much time somebody "wastes"
Try again disabling your antivirus temporary, probably you will also want to disconnect your computer from the internet during the installation if you disable the antivirus.
If it takes six weeks to push a security update, you're doing it wrong.

This is part of the problem with the fast update cycle: People are now conflating security updates (which should be out there ASAP and should make no functional changes at all) with functionality updates (which are never necessary unless you want to visit a site that uses a new feature or to use some change in the UI, have a much higher risk of unintentionally or intentionally breaking stuff that used to work, and certainly don't need to happen 8-9 times every year in any case).

Clean UI. Like the logo. Don't know why you ask for an additional password beyond FB log in.

Anyway, some UI fixes I'd suggest:

1. On open, prompt the user for what they are doing tonight with some auto suggestions (and the option to write their own).

2. Allow users to upload pictures for what they're doing (people love pictures)... aka social networks don't succeed without pics. At least let me take a picture of the event I'm at or food I'm making.

3. "Tag" users does not prompt any users for me (you should pull up my friends list or address book if I haven't added anyone).

4. Similarly, if I don't have Facebook friends on here, ask me to invite some.

5. Too much unobvious iconography in the app. Tags don't usually imply to people to me but rather keywords. Your edit button is a circle which is confusing. Also, be consistent and use "Go" when I'm inputing stuff.

6. Black, White and Blue are really boring colors. Add some flavor to this and make a custom footer UI bar.

Most importantly, I agree with dmix in that I need a reason to "cheerlead a new social network". You should provide some kind of incentive to solve the chicken/egg problem.
Apple's also notorious for lowballing guidance.

EDIT (answer): I didn't downvote you.
Why would people use this app over Facebook or Twitter? Is it just because of the "I'm Down" button?
There is but I've never used it. I feel generally safer with a paid account not being disabled but I certainly don't depend on it not disappearing.

Initially I set this up not for the terms of service and support, but back when it was the only way to get two factor. Apps often lags behind other google services, but there are areas in which it is either ahead or superior, often related to security/privacy.
