Anyone want to help me decipher the userId structure for this site? It's tightly linked to our profiles. (Naturally due to AKB48 crossover)
Example profile pages are good. A regex that matches them is even better.

So I was just saying to myself wouldn't it be great if we could have incognito iframes and behold! there it is.. iframe sandbox's unique origin solves that problem...
Anyone using this in practice? I'd love to use this as a way to serve up 3P content and supply the appropriate user information directly from the parent via postMessage to avoid user-overlap confusion.

Pluck spammed me about their new events/hangouts-like functionality.
Hello Paul,
Can you do this today?
Hold a live event, on your website or Facebook page. Invite an executive, topical expert or celebrity to host it. Let hundreds of thousands of your fans not only follow the event, but participate with comments, questions and photo and video uploads. Manage your event’s tone, pace and energy by choosing the content your fans see. Compel them to spend an average of 40 minutes on your website or Facebook page.
How about this?
Enhance a virtual or in-person event with a dynamic social wall experience. Collect, curate and display related social media content directly on your website. Moderate fan content – comments, questions, photos, videos, tweets, Facebook posts – so that it best represents your brand. Add your own original content or editorial commentary. Create a complete, highly visual story around a particular topic or event.
Creating a Real-time Experience is about starting a conversation, not joining it. It’s about listening and engaging. Real-time Experiences are about collaborative content, and leveraging unique audience consumption opportunities on your owned media.
Pluck’s CoveritLive Real-time Engagement Platform gives you everything you need to design and produce highly interactive real-time experiences. More than 1,500 leading brands, retailers and publishers like Subway, EA, Jeep, Ford and Anthropologie have created real-time experiences with CoveritLive. They have connected with their fans – and generated new ones – through Live Blogs, Q&A Sessions, Social Walls, Second Screen Experiences, Featured Galleries and Facebook Chats.
For digital marketers seeking customer and shopper engagement, real-time experiences are highly differentiated and very sticky. CoveritLive routinely supports events with hundreds of thousands of attendees, who on average are engaged for 40 minutes.
And here’s the best part. You can download CoveritLive and run trial events of your own at no cost. What are you waiting for?

Graffiti partially removed/obscured and one bag of trash dealt with this morning.
I have a bag with solvent, gloves, rags, trash bags and a scrub brush. If other people are keen on helping I can leave it out. I also brought my portable leaf blower -- I can get some of that broken glass taken care of.
Also reported illegal dumping using SeeClickFix on 7th & Linden (Download the App, it actually gets stuff done). Also can someone get Caltrans to pick up the sofa and other junk that was dumped in the lot?

Hey WOPR folks, let's clean up West Oakland.
I used to live in SOMA and there was a guy who would clean up all the trash and butts around the corner of 7th and Howard. His small acts made a huge difference and he was the most popular guy in the neighborhood.
There's a trash bin at the corner of 7th and Adeline, so arrive a few minutes early, clean up and win a few hearts and minds. And remember we have hand sanitizer on the bus.

I just powered off 64 monitors and 2 HD screens on my way out the door. Most monitors were in standby mode (~1.5w) about 10 were not (bad X config, dunno...)
Assuming that they stayed that way for 2 weeks that'd be 269 kWh.
That's ~ 7 of electricity or so just on my floor. Kind of a drop in the bucket, but still....
35% of sites on the web now use a custom font. The +1 button's use of Roboto apparently added 8% to that statistic.
No worries, when we added Roboto we also converted the button to SVG. All those bytes from the sprite now are more effectively used to support highly cacheable font downloads.

*Paul's Guide to Youtube spammers*
G+ uses a reputation system and it gets better if it's properly trained. Here's how to help.
1) Find a video you like.
2) Select *Newest First* Comments.
3) Find a spammer! Selling instagram followers, make money at home, PSN codes, ascii-"art", Home "remedies" etc.
4) Hover over the timestamp
- If it's a link to a video, you have a skinny page, report it inline.
5) If it's a G+ profile cmd-click into a new tab
6) On the opened tab click on the profile link in the left card.
7) Amaze at the series of spam posts
8) Report them as spam from the drop-down until you get bored
9) Block/Report the profile if you deem it appropriate
10) For particular nasty stuff or if you detect certain patterns escalate at

Paradigm shift. Post->Create, View->Search.
I think part of the YT problem is one of perception that reminds of the early days of Gmail. Remember when you 'put' messages in 'folders'? That's what people think of when they post. Instead you have 'Content' that is created that has certain attributes.
When you have content with attributes you can use search to surface it, rank it, and filter it.
So my minor suggestion for Youtube comments is to add a really simple thing: Add _Searching for Comments..._ to the loading indicator.

Paging absentee Google-owned Youtube channel owners -- time to start policing your comments. If you're not going to moderate *and engage* just disable comments. Otherwise while you're away the partying teens will trash the place.
For sport and old-times-sake I spent time reporting porn/abuse/spam on popular videos and Google-owned channels. I saw the usual hideous garbage in "Newest First", but what I didn't see was any engagement from the channel owners.
So to repeat, own your channels. Moderate and engage. Moderate and engage. *Moderate and engage*.
[Also banning a few abusive individuals will go a long way towards eliminating the ascii-art genitalia until the ML algorithms catch up..]

1st time with Shopping express-extended. Oh the boxes!
Bottom box is 2ft ^3 -- toilet paper/paper towels.
Middle boxes contained misc things from other stores.
Top-one is 14" ^3 -- It contained a 4-pack of cucumber soda and enough bubble wrap to float a boat.
I'm saving the boxes and should be able to reuse the smaller ones. I did send feedback to team about this situation.

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:
