What I need right now is a way to sort Google photos by image similarity. Appears that thumbnails and minor metadata updated versions were uploaded over the past years.

Or can you search by filename? Bunch of them begin with "thumb_"






 

Anyone else subscribed to *The Morning Paper*? Interested in starting a reading group? I found them when I was reading up on Honey Badger BFT and have been a fan since.

Trigger ACTION_SEND from Android Chrome?  (with a photo?)

I know that chrome allows you to trigger specific intents (see linked page)  But instead I just want to trigger ACTION_SEND with text and optional image pixels generated by the browser...

Maybe @112427496122904544974 knows?

I love it when things just f'ing work.

- I read an internal G+ post by @118054148122560925848  about bad snippets on http://grpc.io/
- Commented, said I'd ping folks.
- Pinged grpc TL @117058620747746997157  on hangouts
- He creates a group chat with @117889162726815756319
- I say here's my github id
- Added to project.
- I clone it and realize it's jekyll
- minimal yak shaving getting jekyll up and running
- in the meantime a new image is uploaded
- git fork, clone, edit, push
- create pull request
- merged.

- DONE

A big image for a big project and a descriptive snippet.

Now we know why all the Noogler Helium balloons were replaced with pinwheels!

Congrats @105461895807395473744!

Couple of little things:
- Can you spec a better image for the snippet?
- Perhaps add more detail in your title?
- Add a rel="publisher" attribute to your Google+ page link.

Looks like we're not quite   for image filtering.

TL;DR -- SIte displays porn content from freebase/knowledge graph that violates AdSense ToS.


_A quite strange thing happened recently. I have a news website and I'm using Freebase API to provide readers for more in depth information about the content of news articles.  The site runs Google's AdSense ads._

_Following the publication of a local news, on the sidebar containing text and images downloaded through Freebase API, an image of a woman with her bare breasts was displayed._

_Well, that image, made available by Freebase, which is a Google product, was considered obscene by the team of AdSense (also a Google product), which decided to suspend the service. A sort of vicious circle of Google, exercising a censorship on itself._

_Given the impossibility to make Google people understand that the visualization of such kind of images was occasional and not intentional, I'd prefer to avoid such problems in the future. Hence, I'd like to know whether there's some way, when using Freebase API, to filter out images considered obscene by the AdSense team._









 

Thinking of posting this externally....  Already left as a comment on a post.  I think it might help people understand what's at stake..  I just need to find a creative commons image of dollars in a mattress :)

Keeping all your data on your own hard drive?  Do you keep your money in your mattress?

Just like most of us keep our money in a bank/credit union, most of us should keep our data in a trusted place and only carry around what we need at a given moment.









 

Anyone know how to debug gmail issues?  I don't know which dogfood just bit me.

All of a sudden I saw my mail in my inbox dissappearing 4-5 per second inside the offline gmail chrome app.  First time I ever saw the 'happy sun' image which I assume is what you get when your inbox is empty.

Not sure if it's the Chrome app or the dogfood android or something else.

All inboxen are affected back to Feb 19.

Also if you sent me email and need a response ping me on chat until I sort this out...

Take your Security vitamins!

Security reviews may seem unpleasant, but they're really important to defend our users against the bad folks out there and just plain unintentional sloppiness.

I have to commend the team, their diligence revealed some hair raising issues in a SaaS partner that could have had disastrous consequences for us and all of said partner's customers.

Hey instagrammers -- anyone know what the canonical web presence for Instragram is? I see that they link to web.stragr.am on the offical Instagram blog, however it's not 'official'..

@109016304695129264328 @110242419133439594545 know anything more?

@106853593867879252009 - who's looking into expanding image social search corpus...
