This contains anything that accepts a changelist in the form of -c XXXXXX

I just run this thing before I mail out CLs and has made my life easier.  Anything else safe that can be added here?  Next step I should add some kind of g4 mail trigger to just run this thing automatically......

Okay, here's an old one.

I actually interviewed with a towing company that became AutoReturn in 2001.  When I expressed concern about their business model the recruiter said: *we have an unfair advantage due to our relationships with people on the board of supervisors*.

I passed.

*Human Factors Design Handbook - 1981*

One can learn a lot by looking into how real Architects design things.  Airports, Parking Garages, Bathrooms, Missile Control Systems, Furniture, you name it, it's in there.  It also includes things highly relevant to our field like accessibility, design for failure, and social factors and privacy:

_Personal space factors are important in establishing the privacy requirements for architectural design._

If we're doing interest based stuff we're definitely going to need a killfile.  In fact I'd say that it's more important than expressing interests.

We already support per-user and per-post ignoring.  Why not per-interest ignoring?

So it appears that Pages that restrict visibility from the US will not get indexed in search.  I just checked this using webmaster tools and things don't show up.

I doubt that's what these page owners expect...

@102583327817215270776  I know we allow webmasters to geotarget whole domains, do we allow for a way to do it on a page-by-page basis using magic markup?

IMO we need *Public* to be different from *Publicized*.  There are people that want stuff to be out there, but not promoted.  Give the user a choice here..

We've been through this hell many times.  User thinks their audience is small.  We blow it up big time:

- Google+ Shares of Youtube videos
- Photos on a Map
- next?

I've told this story many times, but when I was at hi5 we analyzed why people deleted their accounts.  A big percentage were people with photos that appeared in the hi5 version of 'What's Hot'.

*This is how Googlebot fetched the page*

So my #perfcrastination  with SEO got the shout out, so I guess I should tell you more...  I learned a few things about driving search traffic at some startups and at LinkedIn which really mastered the practice. When Authorship was unlaunched I noticed that we did quite poorly in this area.

So I got our sites verified on Google Webmaster tools and started going through a few checklists.  Bushels of low hanging fruit.  Many issues have been fixed, but there are many more to go.  I'm collecting resources on this sites page:

https://sites.google.com/a/google.com/oz/oz-documentation/seo

And here's a cover bug that lists many of the problems found:

https://b2.corp.google.com/issues/17438991

Also if you're interested in these issues I can add you to the webmaster tools sites.  You can see what people are searching for and what your pages look like to Googlebot.  And hopefully it's not like the /explore page (which is fixed in http://cr/75340820)

https://ariane.googleplex.com/launch/121162 (Authorship)
https://ariane.googleplex.com/launch/120045 (SpYW)

This is a reactive release, so no explicit comms will go out.  If anyone asks you should escalate through PR.  There will be a public post about some of this by John Mueller.

Sad to see it go, but I do understand the reasons why.

*One simple trick that simplifies JS Loading!*

@103532563190745371016 has delved deep into script loading and found that it's better to  just use a regular script tag to load many resources.  The key is to use the async and defer attributes.

It turns out that preload scanners work better than the gobs of script-tag-injecting js code, even on older mobile browsers.

If you're targeting IE9 and above you can also use the _onload_ attribute on your script tag to trigger execution when the script is async loaded.

Work is ongoing to update our docs and existing uses in google3.

Google Health...  For dogs

Just had to deal with medical records for my dog's chemo treatments.  Very suboptimal.  I was able to get PDFs (instead of fax) and some digital x-rays.

However to make sense of this I had to manually plug in blood test results into a sheet.  Each of these data points had differing error-ranges. etc.

There's a long history of animal based science being applied to humans.  If we could solve the Vet problem we could move on to Humans.....

Kudos to Lisa on the 84/580 run today. She was running behind and right behind the other 580 bus, she asked the Newark/Bayfair passengers if they'd switch to the other bus so she could skip those stops.

Super Ingenious.
