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.

It's always interesting to bootstrap your friends on G+. In this case I'm helping a DJ/Producer get onboard. He wanted to get his Youtube account linked which has all his videos. (which is a separate Gaia)

First had to get him on multilogin (and have him chose different profile photos so he didn't get confused.)

Then guided him over chat on adding links to his G+ profile... which resulted in the following..

Hopefully getting him into a Hangout goes better.

The only thing I'd add to this compendium of bad interview questions is having the pirates find the breaking point for the wine bottles by dropping two of them from a 20 story building. :)

Originally shared by Peter Norvig

Jeff Atwood's puzzle: "A hundred prisoners are each locked in a room with three pirates, one of whom will walk the plank in the morning. Each prisoner has 10 bottles of wine, one of which has been poisoned; and each pirate has 12 coins, one of which is counterfeit and weighs either more or less than a genuine coin. In the room is a single switch, which the prisoner may either leave as it is, or flip. Before being led into the rooms, the prisoners are all made to wear either a red hat or a blue hat; they can see all the other prisoners' hats, but not their own. Meanwhile, a six-digit prime number of monkeys multiply until their digits reverse, then all have to get across a river using a canoe that can hold at most two monkeys at a time. But half the monkeys always lie and the other half always tell the truth. Given that the Nth prisoner knows that one of the monkeys doesn't know that a pirate doesn't know the product of two numbers between 1 and 100 without knowing that the N+1th prisoner has flipped the switch in his room or not after having determined which bottle of wine was poisoned and what color his hat is, what is the solution to this puzzle?"

Good one, Jeff, but you forgot to say that the monkeys have a flashlight and they have to cross in 17 minutes...

Interesting -- "Deprecate XML support - If we were building an API today, would we even support XML?"

Dan Brickley, Mar 05 2012 on 1500wordmtu.com

It's mostly a focus issue -- The Opensocial "XML" format was a snowflake and didn't even have a proper schema. It's also part of a broader effort to mesh with established standards and reduce complexity.

(Also the pain of managing the XML/Atom code in shindig is a significant drag..)

Paul Lindner, Mar 05 2012 on 1500wordmtu.com

I can imagine! Where would one look to get an overview of current real-world opensocial schemas? I mean a sense for what is actually used and useful? Anything that can feed into schema.org design discussions?

Dan Brickley, Mar 05 2012 on 1500wordmtu.com

Since you mention it, we've talked about ideas for how to fit OpenSocial in with schema.org & microdata. But we haven't have the time to put any leg work into it.

On Saturday, my friend Danielle and I got to try something awesome. Minneapolis' Minnehaha Falls freezes during winter. There's a little splattering of water still falling over the ledge, but most of it turns into this wonderful array of temporary stalagmites and stalactites, hanging like a curtain in front of a shallow indent in the rock.

I'd heard about people who climbed behind the ice before, but I'd always assumed you'd need special equipment--ropes and crampons--to get back there safely. Turns out, that's not the case. The hollow in the cliff face is shallow, but it's wide enough that you can just saunter on in with little trouble.

I posted one of these shots from my phone yesterday. Here's the rest of the set.

I have a question. I see those commercials where a dog has fleas then the owner comes and puts a drop of anti-flea on the dog and then it shows the dog cured. How is that one drop effective for the whole dog?

Doug Harry, Feb 20 2012 on 1500wordmtu.com

Use an oil drop over the tick and a piece of paper later to extract it. Natural and effective way and without handling.

Miguel Perez, Feb 20 2012 on 1500wordmtu.com

Douglas Harry -- see http://www.vet.com/dog_flea_meds/revolution.html -- basically the active ingredient enters the bloodstream and sebaceous glands, which when consumed kill the fleas (and other things) This stuff kills ticks too, just slowly.

Miguel Angel Perez -- I've tried the oil method before with mixed results. This new method works well and is quite fast.

Embeds United!

I'm somewhat alarmed that there really isn't a "Life of a Widget/Embed" that has best practices on how to embed Google Content on third party sites.

Has anyone tackled this before? Obviously +1, adsense, youtube, maps, analytics and others all use their own mechanisms.

Is it time to consider deploying common infrastructure for these use cases? Especially for systems that require the ability to identify a Google user?

So here's my proposal.

* Use oauth2 semantics everywhere: tokens and api requests.
* Use a single bootstrap system to identify js domain, collect API keys as needed.
* Generate two new types of OAuth tokens that do not contain user info.
- 'Anonymous-by-domain'
