This might sound silly to some, but I wouldn't be surprised if Google limited its usability tests to high-end machines with RAM in the double-digits. I reckon most programming teams have this issue, since even if they're dogfooding, they're doing so on high-end hardware, meaning that low-end hardware is untested and often unusable. Google isn't the only culprit; many websites nowadays will start to lean heavier toward excessive features - making them borderline-unusable on slower computers - because they were developed and tested on fast computers exclusively.
This does happen to me sometimes. I'm a consultant so I end up having to use customer gmail accounts and my personal account. So of course it always logs in with my personal since the browser logs in with that. Then I add this customer. Sometimes when I click to switch accounts it keeps sending me back to my personal account. I'm sure someone from the GMAIL team is on HN so they might see this.
That list is totally broken, it won't update when you get logged out of one of your accounts, and like you've seen if you try to go to one of those accounts, you get bumped over to the one you're still connected to. If you do the "add account" thing and add the one that's not working, you'll be authenticated and able to switch back and forth for a while.

Apple does not have enough cash and giving away too much stock in a cash and stock deal would give too much control to Telsa holders.
My understanding is that ecological impacts were more of a problem with older battery chemistries (lead-acid, nickel-cadmium), whereas lithium-ion packs are relatively benign. For instance, the batteries used by Tesla are mostly composed of nickel, cobalt, aluminum, and lithium, and none of these things are especially toxic.

Mining these different metals may have some negative impact, but it's pretty easy to recycle li-ion packs, so in the long term it's a much more sustainable solution compared to gasoline, where you have to keep drilling for more and more of it forever.
Not a fair comparison
Feedback as requested: It's the all caps hyperbole. It contributes little; it undermines interesting, valuable discussions; it's contagious, spreading from one poster to another; and it's also used so much in so many forums that long ago it became tiresome and dull.

That wasn't your whole post, but when I see it I stop reading and move on. Anyway, don't worry too much about a few negative mods.
My advice: determine your briggs meyers' personality type, and see what you can change about being introvert, and what is just part of your personality. Also, if you have many social problems, it may be the case that you suffer from (social) anxiety, and you should talk to your doctor about it.

Throw bartab heavy on to firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bartab-heavy/...

Now you can have HUNDREDS of tabs (in firefox's nice tab groups, of course) and they'll only stay open / in-memory for a configurable amount of time after you stop using them.

Keeps memory utilization tight. I'm currently south of 500MB utilization with hundreds of tabs open and lots of extensions: Disconnect Search, DownThemAll, FoxyProxy, Greasemonkey, HTTPS Everywhere, Imagus, Stylish and uBlock
That doesn't make it a toy. It makes it a bad choice if you need a browser to be cross-platform, but not everyone has that as a prerequisite.

Safari tends to get sand kicked in its face a lot when people talk about browsers, but it's actually the one I keep finding myself coming back to. I got frustrated recently by Safari's JS performance on certain web sites (ones with badly written JS web chat clients, I think, but never mind) and switched to Firefox 36 for a few weeks. On both machines I used it on it would just... get slower over time, and not a lot of time to boot: about 24-48 hours. And I rarely have more than a dozen tabs open at once, and that's on the high end.

If I was going to knock Safari for anything -- other than the JS issues -- it's that it's got much weaker extension support than Chrome or Firefox. But the only extensions I really use are Instapaper and 1Password. (I'm one of the weirdos who doesn't use Adblock Plus; instead, I've just uninstalled Flash, and if I want to use a web site that absolutely requires it I'll hop into Chrome for that.) I like the way it handles tabs, most versions are pretty stable, and the linked list sidebar -- where it pulls out links from your Twitter feed -- can be surprisingly useful.
"Jail", then.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

If your digital life is portable from the outset, then smear-campaign sites like this don't need to happen. LinkedIN data silos are purely symptomatic of people choosing services where the data is not portable in the first place.

Choose services where you can export, and migrate data before the fact, not after it.

Developers are a huge resource for LinkedIn. The only reason they can sell their spammy products to recruiters is because those recruiters count on LinkedIn having quality people on their network to send it to.

If everyone who didn't need a LinkedIn profile to get a job shut off their profile, LinkedIn's revenue would collapse quickly.
I think this is one reason to keep the 8-bit computing world alive. The act in and of itself is worthy from the perspective that a lot of the older software is still perfectly useful, fun, and applicable to the modern world, and as well will inspire the perpetuation of platforms as we fall ever further over the abyss of hardware relevance. On one end is 'how relevant is the new hardware' and the other is 'how relevant is the old hardware' .. as soon as these become equivalent, we have a stable progression of human digital culture. But, we don't have that: everyone upgrades their new iDevices as soon as they can, and even in just the last few short years we start to see apps that just don't run any more. This is a given.

Which is why I think that the resuscitation of 8-bit Computing, specifically, is such a valuable thing to do: it provides context. When you've spent the evening actually having fun with 30-year old software, the urge to splurge on soon-to-be-redundant newgear is de-composed. Eventually, a person can understand that all computing architectures over the Age, So Far, are of use. That's how they got to be a working program in the first place: someone found it useful.

I recently downloaded a PDF of 80 or so BASIC programs, written to be as compatible with the plethora of machines that were available in the 80's, as possible. What a joy it was to see linked lists, self-modifying code, and competent optimization of program space while also using simplified interfaces, to be cross platform as possible. A modern comp-sci student can even still today, learn a lot of very important lessons about computers by reading such archives and going through 30 or so years of history. It factually is not a long amount of time. All those lost floppy disk collections, out there in the dumping grounds, or even the ones still working, hidden in the closet, have the potential to be just as relevant in 100 years as they were on the very first day of publication.

I urge anyone with an 8-bit stash to dig it out, soon enough, and find your active community. There are few 8-bit machines out there which don't have a thriving scene.
Haiku OS – Fundraising 2015
In my experience most meetups, unless they are specifically culled, super narrow (language, stack, hardware, industry specific etc...) or invite-only are typically made up of "wantrepreneurs," people who want you to sign an NDA to talk to them, grease-ball recruiters, a few rare independent people and the token public sector person trying to do tech-transfer or some other hare-brained initiative that is only good for the city/state/federal government.
Firefox is a giant ugly beast of code and it too has an overlord (albeit, a gentler one). And FF dev forums/tickets are not exactly joyous places, especially for non-Mozilla employees. If I had to contribute to an open source browser, it would be in a small community of friendly volunteers.

Why we're building ribl for Android first, not iPhone
I don't think you're a programmer or maybe you were but are now at a higher level. My advice was more for practicing programmers than others. I personally get zero value out of linkedin. All the people I consider professional equals can be found on mailing lists, blogs, weekly digests, stackoverflow, meetups, etc. Keeping track of them is quite easy and I don't need a third party in that process that just spams me.
Life isn't fair. You have access to a computer. Please explain to me how it is fair that you can view free online uncaptioned lectures, when someone in the jungles of the Philippines has never even seen a keyboard?
Sorry, but "most people" couldn't care less about whatever concerns you have and actually appreciate the benefits of easier Google app usage.
The original LEGO Mindstorms did something similar. In order to upload firmware to the RCX brick (a common operation, since the firmware was stored in volatile RAM) you had to pass a "copyrighted unlock string" ("Do you byte, when I knock?") which would be verified by both the interface DLL and the boot ROM itself.

The intent was apparently to use the copyright on that phrase as a means to force developers to use the officially sanctioned API. I don't know if that was ever legally enforceable; it certainly didn't stop hobbyists from plugging the unlock string into their code.
How many people are in your neighborhood? Perhaps you could crowdfund part of it and say, "We will pay you X to wire up our neighborhood ...", and defray the cost enough to make it viable.
> The assholes sent 300 people linkedin connection requests through my own personal gmail account. With zero warning whatsoever.

The fact that they requested access to your email account should have been warning enough.
I urge you to read the linked article so you get an idea of what this conversation is actually about.
Bellhops is moving for free on Valentine's day
Parents have a strikingly similar situation in VA, except they can't even get DSL. They eventually went with Verizon over LTE after years of crappy satellite internet. You can't purchase more than 30GB/mo, but otherwise, it's worked great for them.

The only problem with the LTE service is that so many things like to silently update in the background---they can bump up against that 30GB limit without intending to.

Maybe contact your board of supervisors or whatever they're called in your neck of the woods? At least you could get them thinking about the problem next time the service contracts are up for negotiations.
Which companies are those? I've never had a problem getting jobs and interviews without a linkedin account.

> This makes me think of the launch of Google Domains[1]. One of the top comments was "What happens when Google sunsets this product?" which is a great question we should all be asking before investing resources (money or time) into a new Google product.

Nothing really special about "Google" here.

Any product from any company runs the risk of (1) the company failing, taking the product with it, or (2) the company canceling the product. The more a company is committed to mitigating (2) by maintaining products that aren't profitable, the greater risk (1) is.
If Apple is creating cars, then Tesla have certainly paved the way.
If you use Google products, you are gonna have a bad time.

Find alternatives and become free. You don't need to replace everything at the same time, you can do it one product at a time.
there is no HOA. The township sent me a letter saying it violated some ordinance about affixing stuff to the ground like a flag pole. It was affixed to the ground with a solar panel on top of the pole. I've contemplated moving the panel to the roof of the shed where I think they wouldn't have an argument then.
I don't understand why people on Macs don't simply use Safari. It's good, it's fast, and it works really well.
The only reason I still use chrome is because of this little flag:
--disable-web-security
that allows me to test my local sites without the need to add them to a CORS config file.
Apologies for my non-comment, but when I was studying linguistics, I suggested this very thing, but was unfortunately misunderstood in meaning that I thought there was a genetic component to specific languages. That's obviously bogus and this -- studying migrations, which include culture and language, by tracking genomes -- is ample vindication of what I actually meant.
Make a business case.

Businesses are amoral, if you can make a business case for why it improves their reputation/profitability/return then they'll likely agree.

For example, you might try suggesting that outside developers could contribute bug fixes and or improvements which the business could benefit from for free.

However if the library could assist your company's competition then forget it, it won't happen.

Google Helpouts is shutting down due to not enough growth
For me I keep tabs open in case I need to go back later. This works except I only end up reusing 20% of the tabs that I opened.

What would be awesome is some sort of auto tab closer that assumes you'll never use the tab again after 15 minutes of idle time.
Why does there need to be secrecy and indemnity for corps sharing non-PII data? Everything I've heard about these CISPA-esqe sharing schemes is that the gov wants to have corps share potentially unmasked data with the gov AND with each other without risk of getting in trouble for privacy violations.
He mentioned it briefly in the article, but I'm now finding safari to be a great browser on OS X Yosemite. It's seemingly fast/faster than chrome, has great retina and media support (Netflix without plugins!), integrates well with safari on my iPhone, but not mentioned here otherwise? It has better aesthetics. It got really good looking in a way that makes all the other browsers look super dated. Who cares about a cloud to butt plugin? I've got privoxy + 1password, don't need anymore than that.
No, it is not the same principle.
What does this have to do with espionage at all? Where do you get this idea that this is related to people's data at all?

_Flash Boys_ is a terrible book. It's incoherent, very poorly ties the narrative about this case to HFT, gets a lot of trading details wrong, and makes an underdog story out of an attempt by a bunch of bigbank insiders to route bigbank brokerage trade through their new firm. If you're interested in the technical story behind HFT, a much better thing to read is that series of articles that's been running on HN for the last few months.

I'm a Michael Lewis fan --- I even liked _Next: The Future Just Happened_ --- but this book was so disappointing I've actually become disillusioned. What else was he wrong about that I wasn't clued in enough to notice? Do Greek people in reality try hard to pay their taxes? Was Chad Bradford a terrible deal for the A's? Was Marillion a terrible band?
My city is divided in to monopolies. Where I live specifically is Comcast. If I go to one of their "competitor's" websites and put in my address they will literally say "Sorry we don't service your area, Comcast does" and then auto-redirect me to a Comcast order page. There are no other choices. $80/mo for 25/3.
FYI: Adding data to the demo chart spikes my memory usage heavily in Mozilla Firefox on Linux.
Hmm, that's a great point. I've always tried to be careful. I use LinkedIn frankly more than any other social network because it allows me to keep up with my friends' professional lives, not vacation photos or snarky tweets. I haven't found a job through LinkedIn, though have made some connections. I do not trust LinkedIn to do the right thing with my data, and the fact that they're "tricking" users into actions they wouldn't otherwise take just smells like a rat.
Yes, I'm thinking of doing just that. I'm sure the neighbors complained about the eye sore and so they used an ordinance to force me to take it down. So, yes, moving to the roof I think might work.

This is one of the main problems with LEA's as it stands today, namely the fact that while many have heard about the mass privatization of the prison system, many don't realize that effective privatization of LEA's is happening. To me this is especially dangerous because the LEO's increasingly will end up failing to protect people from companies but will almost always try to do the opposite, in blatant disregard for their purpose and oaths.

Also, much of the workers rights we have today are because of workers pushing back against such tactics. I feel like the people have forgotten how we got to the 8 hour day we are at, and when we forget history we tend to end up repeating it.

My beef with LinkedIn is that the user interface sux.

I used to be a LION so I still have days when I have to filter 20 connection requests. I still accept connections if (1) you seem to be a person and (2) you use your real name (not the name of a business)

The interface for accepting connection requests is painful and slow and so are the interfaces for doing other things on LinkedIn. I find myself using it less and less because it just takes too long to do things.

By restricting the API they just make it harder to improve the UI.
I have 16GB and regularly have >100 tabs open in Chrome.

It works, kind of, as long as I don't try to run anything else at the same time.

The article persuaded me that Firefox may be worth a try again.

As for testing - you'd think testing on a range of hardware would be standard.

Testing exclusively on top spec machines is just unprofessional.
In my experience I stayed with Firefox after I learned about tab groups. Sure you can run an extension on Chrome to do the same (and you can run extensions on Firefox to do things Chrome does) but after seeing just how much extensions can bog down a browser I prefer to run mine as close to vanilla as possible.

It's not even "if you download a poorly made extension your browser will be slower" but it seems like extensions have that effect in general. It's probably irrational but I've honestly seen a lot of the most popular extensions falling into this category, extensions like AdBlock and HTTPS Everywhere come to mind.
I haven't been tinkering with Rust, merely keep an eye on it until 1.0 lands. For those who are currently more in touch with the situation, does this release date look realistic, without quality suffering? Is the 1.0 release premature, aggressive, or very realistic?

It seems like the standard library has seen a ton of work in the last month or two. I'm surprised at how aggressive the release schedule is, given how things are still churning a good deal.
More ram in use generally means more javascript crap running. Which means higher cpu/energy use. Its not the memory use its what is using the memory.
Its a perfectly valid way of learning to code. In fact, there is much to be said for those who make the effort to be productive without needing to refer to external sources for assistance - this truly is a valid way to do computers. I've forced myself to go off-line for many a debug/coding marathon, and it really works the more you do it. Of course its hard, or else it wouldn't be worth doing. The more you do it though, the easier it gets.

Another thing about having a sources-only, no "google-fu" possible/only "local-scope-fu" policy, is that it tends to defeat the cruft. The bloat. The near-infinite gooze that I just know will be the inevitable subject of the response: "software is too complicated for one person to know everything about it, there's just too much of it, etc."

(Of course, its a scope issue. You mathematicians need not flame me in response. I know you don't need to know how to write a compiler to get real work done. There are no absolutes; that is as true of software, unfortunately or fortunately, as everything else..)
