Nice intro with TV static, but I do wonder if anyone born after 1990 knows what that is..

- Supports next/prev, but no pause
- Content is limited, not very customizable.
- No context cues presented, no intros/bumpers other than the initial splash screen.

A: no

As I commented on the post below. Zynga derived a lot of their early ways from the Golden Palace casino.

Proposal:  replace OWNERS with GUILD

format:
ldap skill-level

where skill-level is one of apprentice, crafter, journeyer,  master and grandmaster

optionally allow 'retired' in front of the above.

And we could have languge-related GUILDs too, though I wouldn't call my readability review CL a _masterpiece_.....

When was the last time anyone ever changed an RPC deadline flag?

Can we get rid of all of them entirely now that deadline propagation is a thing and rpc services support a default deadline option?

  rpc foo(FooRequest)  returns (FooResult) {
    option deadline = 5.0;
    option fail_fast = true;
  };

For a company born on the web we sure do an awful job marking up our sites with relevant data.

Almost all of the images on the new Sidewalk Labs site are transparent (see below).  There is no schema.org,  opengraph or other semantic markup.

I hate to add another step to launchcal, but cmon, this is embarrassing.  The fix is easy:
- Save page as HTML in Chrome.
- Put page (and linked assets in some secret, yet public web site)
- Preview this on G+, Facebook, and Twitter at the very least.
- Use Webmaster Tools / Search Console to make sure that search knows about your domain and use tools within.

Google -Hospice- -Upstate Farm- Pasture Service

Hallway conversation with @104255968520200310944 and @101824307711135795640:  wouldn't it be great if there was a way to export a dead service's data into an sstable and allow for deletion/takeout?  That way you could turn down the service more easily and get rid of zombie code.

As you can see the naming quickly went to the morbid side.

So what are people using to get photos in from old-school cameras?

The Eye-Fi X2 is now basically useless for this:
- They used oauth 1 for their "PICASAWEB" upload feature.  This is now broken.
- They used iPhoto APIs to upload photos.  The new Apple Photos App doesn't have integration hooks, so again, nothing.

Their new offerings only upload to their own cloud, so I'm left with useless hardware.  Yay progress.

Any reason to not get one of these?

This would replace a 40" Sony GTV.  It's had a good run, but GPMAA is still slow and buggy, and the new Youtube app is a serious regression.  And since Android TV doesn't support multiple users I can use the nexus player and my wife can use the built-in ATV functionality.

... and why is this already on sale?
... also lists amazon prime video -- wonder if that'll get released for nexus player?
... and Opera browser bundled?  WAT?

You'll need to print out a PDF that I send you.  (According to Ticketmaster this is totally legit, since the Greek doesn't check ID and they disallow the ticket transfer feature..)

#dailyoneliner  - find targets affected by the files you're changing

Maybe there's a better way, but this works for me...

g4 whatsout   | perl -pe  's,^.*google3,/,; s,/([^/]+)$,:,'   | xargs blaze-bin/devtools/deps/depserver/query/depends_on -ds

You can then expand this to do other useful things:

  | xargs blaze build

to build affected targets

  | xargs unused_deps

to find unused deps

Signal boost for http://go/secondopinion

I requested a 2nd opinion yesterday around 2pm, received form at 4pm, sent it in at 5pm, was called within 15 minutes to go over details.

<24h later a specialist doctor called us to discuss the case and started the process to get all the data needed for a diagnostic review.

Crazy good.  Highly recommended.
