Hi, we are having problems on our Google page 1+ dropped from almost 12.000 to 720 and it's stuck. Our followers are complaining on me because of that lol. Can you help me? I can't see if it is a temporary common issue. Thanks in advance. Cheers!
ps: nothing was changed and happened from night to day

Very true...
Cockpit of a boat is my guess.
280 North from a trailer's windows (wipers)? That looks like a bridge/overpass. Below is a (red) traffic light I think. Given there aren't any other cars, it probably isn't the Bay Bridge. Also there is a section on 280N where it conjoins/merges. The large pillar indicates the lower deck, which is north bound. I'm still confused about the direction of the windows, unless they are side windows with wipers. If I was at a computer, I guess I could download the image and look at the geo meta data too... Edit: given the distance from the overpass/bridge, maybe this is from a parking garage or nearby hill?
3/4G antennas to keep up with all the Netflix and Youtube streaming going on inside the trailer, or boat.
Not 280, there are no tall buildings along 280, are there?
Dexter Lau - serious detective work there, but the mystery is in the foreground, not the background :)
For the curious the background is the 880 overpass at Adeline.
Interesting Christmas lights?
A try to use some Chromecasts on Windows?
Those are multiple cellular data dongles, mounted on the bus windshield, and all feeding into a combined, high-bandwidth wifi hotspot on the bus.
The photo size seems to be slightly cropped and zoom used. The orientation relative to the road suggests this is facing forwards and the lack of a driver in the photo indicates a large windscreen, maybe a coach/bus where he/she is sitting lower relative to the passengers?
As to the rectangular boxes... looks like they were stuck on with adhesive, as the right hand side ones looks like they're becoming badly unstuck! They also look electrical as they're all connected up with what appears to be wiring. Maybe those electronic LED signs showing locations, perhaps destinations?
Vitor Rodrigues and Christiaan Adams got it right! You see 14 3G/4G usb data dongles connected to a wifi access point inside a bus. Now you can truly underestimate the bandwidth of a bus full of tapes (and usb sticks).
And thanks to CircleCount for the lolz.. Chromecast on windows indeed :)
I'm Sure that's not your bus .... but there are more elegant installation methods to achieve that goal :)
Parameterized tests in Junit 3 -- another Java #protip
Adding some experimental code that modifies a junit3 test? Yearning for Junit4 @RunWith(Parameterized.class) annotation?
For simple things like an experiment flag you can do this:
Add the flag to the base test class.
boolean experiment = false;
Create a subclass of your test and change the value in your setUp method:
class FooWithExperimentTest extends FooTest {
@Override
protected void setUp() throws Exception {
this.experiment = true;
super.setUp();
}
}
Your subclass will run with the varying value.

TAP submit speedup #protip
- You mail a CL
- The presubmit automatically starts a TAP run.
- You get an email with the results.
- You did *not* change the CL after you mailed it.
If all of the above is true, use the TAP base with *--rerun* when submitting to save time. The base is in the email TAP sends you and it looks like this:

Here's an interesting site documenting a startup's move from San Francisco to Oakland.
Here's an interesting site documenting a startup's move from San Francisco to Oakland.
That's a really great site, thanks for sharing. I know that folks are concerned -- and rightly so -- about rents going if tech companies move over here, but I'd say the positives far outweigh the negatives. Welcome to the sunny side, Clef!
Yep, very true... but I'm still of the mindset that Oakland needs all the income it can get, and if the price of that is an increase in rents, well...
Then again, I'm not renting, so it's easy for me to say that. :P
Didn't mean to turn the discussion about the Oakland.is site into a forum on housing prices. That site has a lot of other interesting bits, such as when the writers realize that moving here means less focus on VC funding & more emphasis on product quality & usability. Well worth a read.
This is going to be a huge, positive change.

Been enjoying sludge-free french press coffee ever since we replaced our old Bodum press with the new Espro press. It uses double gold filters to make a truly smooth brew. Highly recommended.
Here's nifty demo from the folks at Tested and you can find them at Williams-Sonoma
Have you tried the Aero press?
Scott McMullan -- haven't tried the Aero press yet so I can't say how it compares..
I'll try to remember to bring my aero by for you to test! It's been going unused of late as I've been eliminating caffeine as a test...
gold filters? Why gold? That seems like snake oil to me. (fine sure - but gold?!)

NYC Googlers -- recommendations on laptop repair?
My sister-in-law spilled Sierra Nevada on her 2010 MacBook Pro and I'm trying to help her. I found http://http://www.laptopmd.com/ and they quoted 65 to clean the motherboard and replace the keyboard.
She's living on grants and piece work so if you know of a better deal let me know.

Protip: Use Optional#asSet() to populate collections from optional values.
Was annoyed with lots and lots of code that looks like this:
Optional<Foo> foo = getFoo();
if (foo.isPresent()) {
collection.add(foo.get());
}
Turns out there's asSet which lets you write code like this:
collection.addAll(getFoo().asSet());

Hi
Joslyn Biever, here's the event I was talking about. Mary Grove and Steve Grove are doing great work with Google+ for entrepreneurs (see )
[2nd time around, this time, not public (!) Shouldn't be posting after midnight....]
Originally shared by Mary Grove (Mary Himinkool)
An amazing day underway at CoCo at Google for Entrepreneurs youth training day. 75 impressive teens here from the STEPUP program. So inspired by the talent and passion in the room.
Greetings Googlers & Gophers!
Greetings Googlers & Gophers!
The U of MN Engineering meetup was great fun. It was nice to meet other Alumni and learn more about the great things going on back in Minnesota.
Googlers - I don't have all of your non-work accounts here, please feel free to follow me and I'll tag/mention your accounts here.
Gophers - If you ever need help with Google+ you can feel free to contact me.

How to make your java *testing* rules test-only.
Here's a crude script you can use to automatically set testonly=1 on _testing_ targets that qualify (and tells you why others cannot be testonly) If there's interest I'd be happy to clean this up and put it somewhere...
DEPS=
for XX in ; do
DEPENDS_ON=
echo "PROCESSING - "
TESTONLY_NUMDEPS=1
if [ == 1 ]; then
buildozer 'set testonly 1'
buildozer fix
echo "ADDED testonly=1 to target "
else
echo "FAILED to add testonly=1 for target "
echo ""
fi
done

Looking forward to this!
And the initial episode (linked above) played flawlessly on Google TV
Watched when was on ITV(UK) was good, isn't there a us version in production now?
Mike Wilde yes, it is being remade for a US audience. According to this article:

it appears that filming will start in January.

Not addressed: where did that rogue UPDATE come from?
Takeaway: make nice with your hosting company -- they might save your bacon at some point.
I read it that "the bug" referred to in this sentence was the cause of the rogue UPDATE: "I located the bug, which turned out to be a small line of code I forgot to check regarding The Great YouTube Debacle of 2013".
It also looks like they had "a backup".
Yes, a single copy which is overwritten each time isn't quite the meaning of "backup" that's needed.

Right now their +Page is canonicalizing to http://doutor-who.blogspot.com/, instead of http://timeywimeywickedstuff.blogspot.com/ (which is their verified URL). So it seems that they're in the bad intermediate state between their canonical changing and the social score catching back up. It should go back up in a day or two, probably to something between 1,500-2,000.
I can't say exactly how their score could have ever been 12,000. It's possible that at one time they were linked to some authority URL that was also linked to by another more popular +Page. (Yes, verified URL +Page mappings are many:many, and I hate this "feature.") At any rate, 12,000 would be well above the "normal" score for a page with only 700 followers (although I suppose it's feasible).
