What's up with Ad Planner? It now redirects to

https://awics.corp.google.com/um/ssoauth?dst=https://adsmediaplanner.googleplex.com/?ICS_AUTH_OK

and gives me a 403. Is there any way to get some baseline geo/demo data for publisher websites these days?












 

 

I contributed early on but didn't realize that Google contributed 16k as well.  Happy to see things like this.

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.

I still think Ripples is awesome and needed more than ever in a interest based system. How else are you going to follow the entire chain?

Here's a link to the Tau post by Danielle

I find the Blogger decision baffling given the effort in Social for Project R

http://go/projectr

What's the story here?  @103643500382916616176 or @106642279061626308531  can you weigh in?

I was hopeful that we'd offer a way for adults to have adult conversations around adult topics and content.  Hell, sometimes I'd like to restrict my youtube comments to only adults (*yes* we have the ability in the ASBE backend to do this!)

I'm also sad that we're spending any amount of time to help Tobacco companies peddle their wares, which it seems is the main driver for a lot of this...

So if Google is creating special versions just for kids, maybe they can do one just for adults.  Then I thought what's the opposite of a unicorn and search provided just the answer:   *icorn*

Oh and what did the Unicorn call his dad?

Curious how the JeffWeCan twitter page ranks so very highly give the data I see in digdug.

PageRank is comparable, both were crawled and indexed into Base..

We're starting work on supporting standard Android Share/Send Intents in the G+ App.  Would love to hear use-cases that people may have or hints on how to make it awesome.

I already found that I can share out to Flipboard which handles things really well.  Also surprising things like sharing to Barcode reader (generates a nifty QR code)











 

 

 

Anyone have a better way to determine if a proto contains one and only one message set in Java? (And no, can't use OneOf yet afaik. because jspb)

Collections.frequency(Arrays.asList(

msg.hasBaz()), Boolean.TRUE) == 1

My new go-to way to share mobile android screens during meetings.
Many conference rooms have a local input for HDMI and this works great with it.  Tips:

- Enable Settings→Developer Options→Show touches
- Fire up the camera if you need to display a device that's not slimport compatible. (like the 2012 nexus 7)
- Get it from stuff - https://mystuff.corp.google.com/stuff/items/1000

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._
