Whenever you want to catch user errors client side rather than server side. It does not remove the need for security server side, but in my case it allows me to simplify the security aspects of my service and allow me to immediately drop any connection that is not using a potentially valid password. If a potentially valid password has been received then I do further checks on the actual password. Basically defence in layers.

Another potential use is for checking coupon codes client side. Of course a JavaScript port would be good for this.
It's very much a prototype project. The primary benefit is not so much in the product itself but rather that it makes the new concept viable and ready to exploit.

It's not that different from the first iPhone, which was really just a touch screen media player with a phone antenna.
They need to add these:

They're extremely useful and intuitive string helper methods. Truncate(), IsNullOrWhiteSpace(), etc are things I use daily. And while you can type string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(string) that is annoying and counter-intuitive.
I find the problem with this approach comes when you want to ship a package (ie: requests) that is newer than whatever is packaged for your OS. Then you either have to repackage OS packages, taking on the corresponding duty to keep them patched. I am using wheel files in production for this very reason
I'm your counterpart at another agency. I'm glad to see other agencies are not doing FIPS on their websites (Which would be RHEL with mod_nss only). I'm a bit confused though, last I looked FedRAMP still required it. Have the mandates been changed?
> All mainstream individual IQ tests have been scored this way for just about all of my lifetime.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the Cattell tests were obviously scored in the Cattell scale (24 s.d.) and the Stanford-Binet tests in the Binet scale (16 s.d.).

When I was into reading about psychometrics it seemed to me that the cut off percentile was a more straightforward way to talk about IQ than using either of those three scales (Wechsler, Binet, Cattell).
Then again, Google also recently invested in Magic Leap.

Those things might have been reasonable in the past, but we live in 2014. We live in a country that has an ethnic minority president, the first nation anywhere in the world to be progressive enough to do so. We have abolished racism, sexism, homophobia, and classism. We live in an equal, classless, democratic society.

It's totally fine to see problems, even with our highly progressive and forward-looking society. Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. But we are a nation of laws, and there are established procedures for changing those laws. We have the ballot box instead of the Anonabox, and for good reason.

If you are a good, loyal citizen, true to the ideas of the founding fathers and possessed of respect for the rule of law, there is no reason to be anonymous. Either you are right, and the democratic voice of the people will join you in a chorus of freedom, or you are wrong and if you continue to inflict harm on our society it will be forced to defend itself.
And this loophole is still exists.
I was part of the first batch of Glass Explorers to receive the device in early 2013. I was extremely optimistic about Glass before getting one of my own, but it only took a couple of months for that optimism to fade, and I've only worn them two or three times in the past year.

As others have pointed out, the cost of using Glass is high, and I'm not just talking about the monetary cost. There's a social cost as well, as lots of people will stop you in public to have a conversation about Glass. Most of them are just curious, but I've encountered my fair share of people who are judgement or even overtly hostile. (I live in SF, which is a fairly forward-thinking city, so I imagine it was worse for people in other areas.)

Based on my experiences, it seems that when you merely possess technology, people tend to acknowledge and refer to it distinctly. However, when you wear technology, people increasingly conflate you and your character with the technology itself. The difference between walking around with a phone in your hand and walking around wearing Glass is the difference between carrying a tube of paint and painting your face green.

In my opinion this was predictable and Google should have anticipated it. (This is why studying psychology is important.) They should've focused on giving early Explorers an "excuse" to wear Glass, but they did the opposite. Ideally, we could've presented ourselves by saying, "I'm wearing this because I'm a tester. Want to try them on?" Instead, more often than not, conversations would begin with the other party saying, "So you paid $1500 for these?" That's not a great starting point in any way, shape, or form.

I've heard that things were similar when headphones first started catching on for mainstream use. The difference is that headphones were worth the cost. By contrast, the incremental improvements that Glass makes over a smartphone aren't worth the social/physical costs of wearing something on your face.
People don't strictly want what either Tor or Freenet gets them, they want other things and mangle both technologies into serving those purposes. In these shared use-cases, their usefulness can be compared.

For example, people use both Tor and Freenet to enable anonymized private messaging. On Tor, this is achieved by connecting to a hidden-service forum and posting. On Freenet, this is achieved through an app that uses Shared Subspace Keying to basically have two people watch one-another's RSS feeds for updates. Either way, people get to send anonymous messages and have other anonymous people see them.
I stopped trusting Tor a couple of years ago.

The only important gems I've had problems with on Windows with newer Rubies are native extensions that don't support 64-bit Windows correctly when using the x64 build of 2.1+.

A lot of other problems I've seen involve confusion over the right version of devkit for the right ruby build, which is made worse by the way devkits helpful install tools just identify all ruby installs and try to install debit by default into all of them rather than having knowledge about what ruby versions the debit version goes with and having default behavior that applies that knowledge.
General not-so-tech-savvy consumers are scared of their data getting stolen if it's in the cloud.
NASDAQ is a stock exchange. Financial institutions as a class of companies have pretty strict regulations/compliance issues about who can work in them. For example, they fingerprint every exchange employee and typically bar convicted felons from even applying. Being a agent of another state--and certainly if not disclosued-- is such a red flag for fraudulent behaviour as to not need further explanation. A foreign agent has the means and motive to harm both the exchange members and the host nation, and providing them with corporate security clearance equates to a the opportunity for criminal behaviour (either as a principal or an accomplice).

Is there any web based D3 "wysiwyg" editors that generates readable javascript that only uses D3? That would be something in between using "raw" D3 and libraries built on D3. Another common way to make visualisations is to modify examples found on bl.ocks.org.

Just let it be said: there's definitely room fore even more libraries built on top of D3.
> it seems that when you merely possess technology, people tend to acknowledge and refer to it distinctly. However, when you wear technology, people increasingly conflate you and your character with the technology itself.

This is because things you choose to wear are fashion choices, and the whole reason people choose one fashion over another is to make a statement about who they are.

In this respect, Glass is no different than regular glasses; all regular glasses serve the same functional purpose of correcting impaired vision, but a pair of (say) Warby Parkers also make a particular statement about the personality of the person wearing them.

The chasm Glass has fallen into is that the fashion meaning of a particular thing is decided collectively by the culture, not by the people who created it. And the culture has collectively decided that the fashion statement Glass makes is "I am a turbo nerd."
Good to see immutability being given some attention. Elvis operators though, I think they make code shorter rather than easier to understand
Elon Musk is one of my idols, but his stance on AI is highly disappointing! It doesn't require much of a brain to conclude that without AI, which can vastly increase our intelligence, we're doomed. There's no bigger extinction risk that us being constrained by our selfish and intellectually-limited nature! We need a scalable intelligence without the burden of emotions, politics, restroom, lunch, and coffee breaks, that will work round the clock on solving problems we've been trying to solve for decades. Let's start with eradicating the flu, for example. I honestly can't respect our civilization until we handle basic issues like this one!
If it lowers intelligence and/or increases response time, it could affect survival. It's not enough to be able to reproduce, you have to live long enough to do it. So, yes, it would be subject to selection pressure.

My experience is similar to yours; I got mine about a year ago and for the first 3-4 months I used them heavily, but I can't recall the last time I really used them. However, not being in SF, my experience with people's reactions has been very, very different. In CT and NYC, I had 100% positive responses; no exceptions. Everyone was interested and asked questions, and I'd often offer to let them try it out. In SF (and to an extent, Portland), I had many negative responses to it. Quite odd for being much more tech-centric places.
I agree that landing on the moon and VR are not really comparable, but VR has huge applications. Basically in every industry.

Telepresence for business meetings, surgery, remote repairs, military, not to mention the vast entertainment options like the sex industry, videogames, etc. It could also be a boon to people in long distance relationships or those with friends across the world who just want to hang out in a virtual living room together and shoot the shit.

I sometimes wonder if this is part of the overall strategy...

Over-design it to look too futuristic, and then start scaling back the design into a far more modern-day look and feel to create more adoption of the actual technology.

> This seems quite bad, but I have no idea how to fix it.

Most people, when interacting with their database, use SQL (or whatever native command language it provides), and don't need to worry about the underpinnings.

Most people, when interacting with their source code repository tool, use the command set provided by the tool and don't worry about the underpinnings.

I've had problems with my databases before that forced me to learn about the horrid can of worms underneath. Until I had these problems, I didn't care because it was entirely irrelevant to the thing I was trying to do.

I've thankfully never had enough of a problem with any of the repo tools I've used (cvs, svn, hg, git) that I needed to go diving into the data structure itself to figure out or fix a problem. I hope I never have to, because that's not the job I'm trying to do.

You shouldn't need to care how the tool works in order to use it, unless using it is your primary job. My primary job is writing code for my application, not writing code for my database or repo tool.

If going distributed, hg provides a much more sane initial set of commands that make more sense to people with experience using anything that isn't git. This matters a lot, because those commands are the only things most users ever really care about.
The idea that business should be allowed to collect everything, and that only use should be regulated is nonsense. It is difficult, but perhaps not impossible, to tell what has been collected. But once data is collected, those holding it can make it impossible (if they want to) to tell what has been done with it. Collection is the only possibly feasible place to draw the line. If we don't draw it there, we are simply agreeing that privacy is dead.

> 2. Its got a photo taking camera on it*

In terms of social acceptance, that was probably mistake # 1.

Most of the negative stories have been about the potential abuse of the camera. If glass had been launched primarily as an AR device, then, once normalized, the camera could have ben introduced as an upgrade.
Ah, so theoretically you can be a 300 star Michelin chef and never have cooked anything so long as you're rich enough to buy some restaurants.

Weird, I always thought, the way it's presented on British TV shows, that the Chef de Cuisine was rated but it makes more sense to rate the restaurant as an ensemble. I suppose then though he doesn’t hold the stars the restaurants do; and he can't really be head chef at each if he's not there most of the week.

Interesting though, thank you for the correction (and to the sibling commenters too, thanks).

Funny, I told my friends who got into Glass early on that it will go way of the Segway, to be used for things like museum tours and not much else.

Always be weary of things that are hyped to be the next big thing. The real next big thing won't need any hype. I can't trust the judgement of someone who got into Glass early anymore.

Predictions based on, "First, we'll completely redo our architecture from the ground up" are likely false.

It seems like you have a (pleasant!) vision in mind, but not like you've taken a lot of time with the practicalities of it or how we get from here to there.

So, first: the size of cars isn't principally about distance travel. Cars are built for speed (as soon as you're doing about 20mph, wind in your face becomes annoying for most people most of the time, and noise becomes high, and safety becomes an issue), for protection from the weather, and for cargo storage. Driverless cars may well become a little smaller, but there are plenty of reasons they'll stay fundamentally cars, not segways.

Second: you can't build your architecture from the building to the city around segways. We already have cities. We can change them incrementally, but redoing them from scratch is just too expensive (again, on a number of axes) to contemplate. And incremental changes aren't going to go your way. People will get the driverless cars that work with how the cities work TODAY, and then those people will become a constituency for incremental changes to the city that will make the city MORE car-oriented, not less.

Seriously, the full-featured, relatively cheap driverless car future is one in which public transit declines drastically in importance. It is absolutely not one in which people restructure their cities around transit.

> By contrast, the incremental improvements that Glass makes over a smartphone aren't worth the social/physical costs of wearing something on your face.

Yet... I personally think they launched without a killer app. Comparing against headphones, listening to music in a portable and private manner was novel and a "killer app." To your point, today's mobile devices cover off on a wide range of capabilities, and my sense is that Glass hasn't provided an app that was "killer" enough to overcome the stigma and eventually erode it.

Didn't help that a large % of the fashion-conscious out there felt it was ugly as sin. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes Apple to wearables sexy and acceptable. They are smart to start with a watch since the form factor is understood and not dramatically different.

I'd be happy if they'd just let you turn off syntax highlighting for code blocks in the wiki. The default sh highlighter looks like crap if you display code in any unsupported language like assembly or Tcl. <pre> tags can be used but then you lose the gray background. That something so simple isn't implemented is the biggest sign of how abandoned Google Code has become.
The only way I imagine it to be Segway-like is so different that it's no longer a Segway. Consider these high preference features for most transportation users:

- Protection from inclement weather

- Climate control

- Seating

- Storage

- Capacity to bring friends or loved ones

If you consider these preferences you get something closer to a Smart Car than a Segway.

There's nothing wrong with being a monopoly. But when you are, the worry becomes how will you use that monopoly? Will you keep working to push the market forward? Will you keep doing what you do best? Or will you abuse your dominant position to keep competitors out, leverage that monopoly to further your market position in another area, and act in a way that is unfriendly to everyone but yourself?

Microsoft has done it, and got busted. Apple has done it, and got busted (albeit in a fairly small way). People are I think rightfully worried that the same thing could happen with Google. Even more so because of how respected they are with the hacker community and the tech community at large.

It's not about how they got their first monopoly, it's about how they got every one after that and what they do with them that matters.
That's just one workflow.

For Go, we will require that contributors (everyone working on Go) prepare their commit at head (or at least make the commit able to be automatically rebased). It makes no sense to have a merge commit for every single commit. That would add no extra information and double the size of the commit log.

I stated somewhere else that I did a factory reset and pulled the cable after connecting my Samsung 'Smart' (it's not) TV to the internet the first time.

Please. Samsung is not a decent example for how to run a so-called 'smart' TV.
