You noticed that did you?

Given the same base OS (Linux) in Android and ChromeOS and much of the same sorts of things. The redundancy of having two teams is pretty obvious. So if everyone agrees that you're going to do both going forward (and I think this is a ringing endorsement of ChromeOS as a 'long term' bet by Google) it only makes sense to make one team out of them.

Then the question becomes who leads it? The guy who leads ChromeOS or the guy who leads Android? Andy wasn't a big fan of ChromeOS when I was there, I don't know if that changed, his passion was making a better phone experience. I don't think I ever talked to or hear Sundar speak when I was there so I don't know what he thinks about phones.

So Sundar gets the nod and Andy gets to pick his next role (or exit which isn't uncommon in these situations). I don't doubt Andy would be on the short list of a number of CEO search committees so perhaps he'll pop up as the new CEO of Sony or something.
That is OffSec's goal with this. They were on a recent infosec podcast and specifically mentioned providing a low cost alternative to the PwnPlug using hardware like the RaspPi.
That's what I do, basically - I shuffle between Netflix, iTunes, and Amazon Prime looking for the one that has what I want at the best price. It's still pretty bad, though (searching is a pain on my tv) with horribly inconsistent pricing. TV shows that are $35 or more per season on one are included in the subscription fee for another.

That's why it's so important to track the natural search traffic you're getting by search query, and line it up against the paid search traffic.

If you have strong natural search traffic on the term, then you should be able to scale back your bid on that paid search term without much risk.
Seems like it'd be fairly obvious. stud should be reporting bind() failures once it runs out of port pairs.
His attitude towards security is well known among those attempting to help make Android devices safe for people to use. His refusal to believe that a device could be both safe to use and popular or safe to use and useful has directly led to hundreds of millions of unsafe devices around the world.
I've just started android dev. I'm still struggling to deal with the fact that you can still buy brand new devices that come with froyo.

I feel lucky that some kind soul created a compatible version of the ActionBar (Sherlock) to work with these out dated but still selling devices.

Sorry, but I think Bloomberg is on the correct side of that issue, even if he won't win in court. It's becoming increasingly clear that large quantities of sugar are a long-term poison. Since there's no practical use for soft drinks other than "They taste good" (which is a personal-happiness argument, but a particularly juvenile and narrow-minded one), large softdrinks should be banned. If arsenic salts tasted really good, and they were not already banned, would you oppose efforts to get restaurants to stop serving that?

Just because a paternalistic state is usually bad doesn't mean that government shouldn't intervene in anything.
That was Redline Smalltalk, which they've also pushing quite a bit. Their indiegogo campaign managed to raise 17.000$ so that the core dev can work full time for a while on the project.
I must be psychic. Just yesterday I had an idea and made https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5359592

Maybe Randall just gets all of his comic ideas from failed HN posts.
Or more likely, white people don't have to specify "white" in their searches because most mainstream porn is already "white". If that wasn't the case, I'd bet "white" or "caucasian" would be the top search in every single state.

Sure there are probably quite a few white people that also search for ebony porn. But I doubt it's that much higher amongst whites in the south vs. whites in the north. And even if it is, it's probably not a correlation to racism as the parent post was implying.
Says they include Chicago but apparently that means downtown only, as they claim they have nothing for my zip and I'm on the northwest side.
That would be scary, if CISPA had anything to do with any of that.
This is the kind of idea that will probably go nowhere, but could change the world.

My first reaction, being an ardent lover of many ethnic cuisines, was "of course I'd never use something like that" but then I got to this line:

Eating to me is a leisure activity, like going to the movies, but I don't want to go to the movies three times a day.

Suddenly, I'm imagining "A DVR for eating." You have a steady intake of Soylent (the name absolutely must change), and when you have time to prepare a nice meal or go out to a restaurant, you adjust your intake ahead of time so your hunger level is appropriate. Crazy, but now I have another ingredient for my sci-fi universe.
It is interesting to me, given the age of your profile, that you just noticed this. I'm about as old as you are, and its been noticeable for a while and happens frequently.

Fantastic, really enjoying the blog so far. Beautiful pictures and layout (though some of the galleries have a bunch of blank slides, even after waiting for loads)

Keep updating it!
That's still a person who has to make a living.

He could've made the point just as well while omitting personal information. The only value the identity adds is the potential for harassment (not insinuating that this is Matt's intention, only that this is the likely outcome of personal information on the internet in this day and age).

I have no problem with calling out the company. I'd have no problem with the first name even. But the phone number and last name are personally identifying and unnecessarily endanger the representative.

This is correct. In SC2k, you can see the region of effectiveness police and fire stations have, the region is a circle surrounding each station. I don't remember the name of the tool, but in the tools palette thingy there is an option to show a map and then toggle the various information about crime, fires, health coverage, etc.

> Sure, the HTML + JS runtime on FirefoxOS is Gecko, but that's an implementation detail. The browser itself, as users will experience it, is Just Another Webapp.

Except that it's NOT, because the core of the whole thing -- HTML + JS -- is native.

Apple does the same thing on iOS -- you can use UIWebView to render HTML/CSS, and to execute JS. Yet that wasn't good enough for Mozilla -- why?

Thanks so much for writing this up! I've been looking for a Java implementation of DTLS, and haven't found one. Since OpenSSL supports DTLS, I might be able to abuse this into doing what I need.

I'll probably want to strip down the tomcat-native dependency, but this puts me a lot closer to my goal than I was previously.

There are lots of Indians in top Google management, definitely, but they're hardly the majority. Maybe 25% of "key divisional leads", maybe 25% of SVPs (a group that greatly overlaps with "key divisional leads").

First of all, there's no "key divisional lead" of "engineering". That's not a division at the top level. That'd be a pretty stupid top-level division, in a company which is mostly engineering (I'm deliberately obfuscating exact ratios).

Second, the SVP of Ads is Polish, and the SVP of Youtube is Persian. So that's two more things wrong with the four examples.

Indian: Chrome/Apps/Android, G+, and Sales/Business.

Not Indian: Ads, Search, YouTube, TechInfra, Finance, Legal, Sergei (a law unto himself), Geo/Commerce, Motorola, HR, PR, .....

Ask HN: Where does the Google fine of $7 million go?
There are tons of open WiFi networks that Google has probably gathered data from. I am curious to where the $7 million is going that Google is being fined. Is it going to the people that complain about there data being stolen? How do they know they are holding on to that data?

I agree with the efficiency part with regards to android lowering the Barrier to Entry, but the 2 year contract to make the devices "affordable", surely doesn't work in favor of market efficiency.
For those who read the article, what caused this vulnerability? An input sanitization or a flaw of OAuth2 that other OAuth2 providers should be aware of?

Employers in knowledge fields have a tough time scaling pay with performance or productivity (pg's essays cover this), so we see them exploring other methods like remote work and free food, etc. I guess when the employer agrees to let you work from home, your perceived value is high enough that satisfying you with money only would be painful. But as you spend more time at home, they start noticing your value less, which leads to the whole "people are more productive at the office" mentality.

I prefer the name Bachelor Chow myself, though I'd try Soylent as well. I wouldn't want to eat it for every meal but every once in a while I'm in such a hurry that it would be practical to do this for a period.
Should you pay to pitch an angel group? What the data says
I think this is one of those "Whatever floats your boat" kind of things. For me, as with others, eating is something I enjoy, not a chore, and I look forward to food. Also, I'm not sure how one's social interactions work in this world, especially since so much that is tied around food.
I particularly don't like this approach to programming. Building things is an important aspect while learning to program, but it should not be learnt by just googling and figuring out how to do a particular thing. I think learning to code neatly in a language and learning what a particular construct does, is really important before you start googling and copy pasting things from stackoverflow. With the above method, you can become a decent guy/girl who knows to put things together, i.e. build skins over databases(as quoted in a previous HN article).

If you take this approach, then you would have learnt some aspects of the language, and hence won't have the patience to go through an introductory book again. I programmed in python for a year without knowing how python variables are actually names, because I was too impatient to go through a introductory book.

Dan is characterizing Rubin's position around security as non-inclusive. Not that "nothing was secure", but that any feature (X) that was prioritized was done so not just without taking security into account, but with a belief that security was at odds with said feature (for all examples of X).

Basically, in a bastardized form of the "Good, Fast, Cheap. Pick two."

I don't know who was the responsible party for Android's terrible security track record, but Dan knows a lot more about mobile security than I do, so I'm hesitant to say he's slandering anybody.

My response on reading the article title. Why the hell does everything have to be socially linked now a days? If I really want my friends to watch something I recently discovered on Netflix or whatever, I'll tell them about it. Not spam their facebook wall.

Focus more on getting more recent titles on instant stream and less on how I can spam your website to my friends, who already all are using it heavily anyway.
What zipcode? I can check and see if we have included it.
To be fair, he's never said anything about abstract defense or justification - rather, he's talking about government dealing with the consequences.

Edit: so I suppose the distinction's that that the first implies self-contradiction, and the other doesn't. Or perhaps the line is drawn when policy like that interferes with official judgment. Who knows.
Let's see how well he's doing after a year of living off the stuff. There's probably more complexity to food than breaking it up into vitamins, minerals, and calories.
Whether Android and ChromeOS are merged or Android scales up to the desktop, I hope Google makes a big play for the desktop within the next 1-2 years.

1. Microsoft support for Windows XP ends in about a year leaving a huge chunk of their users orphaned.
2. PC sales are flatlining... there's a sense among users that performance is getting to be "good enough"
3. Apple isn't really even trying to compete in countries that aren't somewhat well to do.
4. The ARM Cortex-A15 will help bring those ARM mini-pc sticks and net tops up to task for desktop work.
I actually thought he was talking about Android devices, and wondered why he never got to the part where he said "now there are only going to be 3".
"So what’s in Soylent, exactly?

This is the real question - what is it that Google wants out of I/O? Do they want developer engagement, or do they want to publicize their most recent toys? Either is certainly valid, but the current setup does not optimize for engaging developers.

But, you've got to hand it to them, they certainly do wring out all of the PR they can from I/O. I'm honestly not sure how I'd change it... expect maybe make the keynote a separate ticketed event. I'd love to go just for the developer talks, even if it meant skipping the swag-laden keynote.
Yeah some sci-fi books/films have incorporated that idea. For example the scene in the Matrix where they eat goop that contains "everything the body needs".

This stuff, which I'm going to call meal replacement powder [1], already changed the world for two groups of people I know of. First ones are famine victims, who need a special diet to recover, a diet which was time and work intensive for relief workers to prepare until meal replacement formula became widely adopted. Might sound crazy but this plus rehydration salts save lots of unlucky people every year.

Second group are bodybuilders, weightlifters and some elite athletes who want to easily ingest a specific number of calories with a carefully controlled macro-nutrient ratio several times during the day. Doing this through traditional meals is not compatible with a traditional full time job in any shape or form. With meal replacement protein powder it's pretty easy: just add water and maybe some milk to your powder which you already have in your shaker and shake.

I read a textbook on physiological chemistry and took to the internet to see if I could find every known essential nutrient.

The danger is that there are far more essential nutrients that we don't know about, than nutrients that we do. And the only way to get these nutrients is to eat a well balanced diet.

That being said, this would be amazing if it works and I applaud him for trying.

Sundar Pichai Takes Over For Andy Rubin As Head Of Android

I don't think he was going for a value pitch, just a brief intro. It's really difficult to judge the value of CSS preprocessors from one-line examples, since as you say they usually end up being longer. You would have to look at larger stylesheets to actually see where they shine. In other words, the benefit from preprocessors isn't constant, it's exponential. You trade off some added complexity for a much greater ability to organize, combine, and maintain the various parts of your stylesheets.

Exactly this ^ I think of watching TV as more of an antisocial activity for me.
Certainly there are factors that work against efficiency. Any kind of lock-in, be it an enforced contract term or a putative monopoly position for Apple is going to harm things. But on balance, Android being cheap and easy (and thus fragmented) has made smartphones cheaper/better. I don't think there's a serious counterargument to be made on that point.
I can't even run chrome on my android (2.3). I've resorted to Firefox which is actually pretty nice.
A customer of mine had practically the same .htaccess file installed through an exploit in a custom PHP software he had written. The difference was with the URL it was pointing to, in my case it was battocletti.theroguedisc.com . The .htaccess was installed on 2012-11-21, but by the time the customer asked for my help cleaning up, the domain was no longer available.

Congratulations especially to Shafi Goldwasser for being, if I have counted correctly, only the third female Turing Award recipient (after Fran Allen and Barbara Liskov).

Wow, I'm always excited to see Rubyists promoting things being explicit in code. That's my primary gripe with Ruby projects, too much magic fairy dust and freebies that generates complexity. I'll keep this tip in mind when I play around w/ Rail/Grape next time.
