Newcomer Kilovolt Coffee Lights Up West Oakland
*Decreasing Dwell Time*
Has anyone looked into mechanisms for loading busses more quickly? A couple of thoughts:
- Add a card scanner on the 2nd door, deputize a Googler to check entrants.
- On campus make a pickup stop in a secured area. Then people don't have to badge as they board.
- Install two badge readers on double-deckers, one on the stairs, one by the driver.
- Do not wait for tardy passengers if the bus is running late, there's probably another one right behind.
I wrote most of this post while the Van Ness bus boarded passengers @Sacramento which was blocking an entire lane of traffic.

Install ground-breaking spyware; receive ongoing rewards!
_[from a survey I received from TiVO today]_
We are considering creating a special segment of the TiVo Advisors panel to explore TiVo subscribers' usage of mobile technology and how it relates to your enjoyment of TV and other media. Everyone who participates in this exclusive segment of the panel will receive ongoing rewards based on actual participation (not a monthly sweepstakes).
This ground-breaking research will help us understand the ways mobile, television, digital, social, and other media are viewed, used, and shared by TiVo subscribers. Your participation will have a direct impact on how entertainment and information is delivered to consumers today and in the future.
To participate in this exclusive group, you will be required to download and continually run an app on a qualified mobile device (up to three devices per panelist). The app runs in the background of your device (in other words, you do not have to interact with the app to receive rewards).
Qualified devices include:
Android™ smartphones and tablets that run Android version 4.0 or greater, and are not rooted;
Kindle Fire HD, but not the first generation Kindle Fire;
iPhone® 5, iPads® and iPod touch® devices that run iOS version 5.0 or greater.
Earlier iPhones are not supported at this time.
The app is a small mobile application (about 3.3 megabytes) which is not intended to interfere with your web, app, wireless phone, or battery usage. Once installed, you should never need to re-activate the app.
At this time, we'd like to get your initial thoughts about this idea. If we choose to proceed, we'll send out more information in the next few months.
Still an empty profile though...

It's breeding season for -Snowy- Great Egrets.
Next time you're on the west side of 1201 Charleston look up to the trees and you'll notice a dozen -Snowy- Great Egret nests. Maybe you'll even catch them flying from tree-to-tree carrying newly found twigs. They really get going on the weekends when they have the campus to themselves.

*Mockito verboseLogging, plus GuiceBerry hints*
Want to see your mock activity? Do something like this:
mock(SharingJsonService.FutureInterface.class,
withSettings().verboseLogging());
Also: Injecting a GuiceBerry mock? Reset it in a teardown!
There's probably a better way to do this, but..... I created a Mock inside a GuiceBerry module, then injected it into the test class.
There were two tests that mocked the same method, the second test would blow up because it saw the previous stub, and returned null for the second invocation instead of re-stubbing.
Adding a Mockito.reset(...) on the injected value fixes that.
Thanks to verbose logging I was able to figure that out.
Phew, time for bed.

Google+ has some common sense content rules in the User Content and Conduct Policy [1] You'll notice there is no section on censorship based on viewpoint.
The issue described by Eric Raymond below is much more mundane. It's actually a problem in the way Google+ previews web snippets.
A couple of weeks ago we introduced the new Article embed type. You'll notice these posts by their distinctive large-photos with a ragged-edge. This new code caused the problem.
The markup on theblaze.com uses the markup. That, combined with some other factors causes the preview processing to fail. This issue was reported to us on April 1st and a fix will be released to production early next week.
I opened an issue on our developer site to track this issue since it does affect a handful of other sites that use the NewsArticle markup. Feel free to Star it to receive updates:

G+ may be engaging in non-viewpoint-neutral censorship of news articles relating to firearms.
This link:
results in post blocking when it's either pasted in the link box or pasted in text with the preview image not removed. Others have reported that all firearms-related articles from The Blaze, but not non-firearms-related articles, are blocked.
Something more specific than blocking of firearms-related images is going on, as the Geeks with Guns G+ community would have noticed that a lot sooner than now.
Google has some explaining to do.
Oh, wow. Thanks for taking the initiative to publicly communicate like this!
Yonatan Zunger I'll second that.
Paul Lindner Ha! I'd gotten halfway through typing a comment to ESR, saying it was likely a side-effect of the new image-preview gizmo in the posting system, then I noticed you'd already covered it. Thanks!
And a fix is out there now!
I hate to keep complaining, but sharing from The Blaze is still impossible, you're the only one I've seen acknowledging it, is it something that the folks at the Blaze can fix? Is anyone working with them to your knowledge? Has the fix you mentioned on the 8th simply not rolled out yet?
Leslie P Interesting. I just tried sharing it to myself & got this error: Your post was not shared. Please try again.
The workaround is to do a screencap, add that to the post, then put the link in the body of the post. (Which is something I do anyway on sites with no, or bad pictures.)
(And that's despite getting a great preview image/text from the link - it failed on hitting the Post button.)
I'll see what's up, I was able to repro.

Paul Lindner you may want to add that he updated the post :)
Location start and end in Calendar
*Wanted*: Location start and end in Calendar
I think we can do a better job of mapping travel in Calendar if we allowed Events to have *begin* and *end* locations.
For example, I have a GBUS entry in my calendar. Part way through my ride I'm getting cards telling me time to the start point.
I quickly scanned buganizer and didn't see an FR there -- but I think this would really help for happy hour.
-----
Another crazy idea -- according to the location could reference a URI. Imagine if the URI referenced a moving object, like a bus, plane or other trackable object.] If we had that then we could support navigation to any stop along the path, support timed transfers and other cool stuff....
I wonder if there's anything to learn here, especially with our push to split into multiple apps.

Hello Paul,
Thanks for the feedback. I have investigated your issue and although I couldn't replicate it I have made some changes in code (more protective) to ensure that it shouldn't happen. These changes will be included in the next release, please let me know if the issue still remains and we can continue the investigation.
Cheers

The power stealing from the control wiring is a neat technique, but direct power is better.
