We could've launched this with G+.... So sad.

I wonder if we could:
- correctly implement canonicalized URL search in G+ Search
- expose that via the existing G+ Search APIs....

For everyone else: What would you like to see on these screens?

"""Bob Gurr, retired Disney Imagineer, spent over 40 years developing more than 100 designs for attractions ranging from the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Monorails to the design of the mechanical workings of Disney’s first Audio-Animatronics human figure.

The attractions he developed still are incredible, and even more so if you consider the technology available to him at the time.""""

Hey Paul – happy Friday!
I saw that you’ve been at Google for a while. With your strong CS fundamentals from U of Minnesota, I thought you would be an awesome fit here at Facebook with our new focusses this year. Facebook is currently in hyper-growth mode reaching beyond social network and has lots of interesting projects coming down the pipeline at a large scale of 1.4B user data. Whether you’d like to stay in your expertise OR would like to explore something new, our engineering managers would love to speak/meet with you depending on your interest as a lead or IC. I'm also recruiting for a team that's building out a new platform from scratch in K-12 education space. If that doesn't intrigue you, you can explore other opportunities as well. I'd love to chat in more detail - what day/time works for you this week?
Look forward to hearing from you.

Confession time: I grew up in poor rural MN but was able to attend two fully-sponsored summer Science camps.  It changed my life.

At one I got to make holograms, perform blood spatter analysis and write Apple II games.

Another one was sponsored by our Rural Electric Coop where I managed to get an extensive tour of a coal fired power plant and learned all about electricity.

Those are gone, but @111531961318959598038 and @105449406040345263889 have one for the new century.  I'm happy to support it and I hope you will too.

Nice intro with TV static, but I do wonder if anyone born after 1990 knows what that is..

- Supports next/prev, but no pause
- Content is limited, not very customizable.
- No context cues presented, no intros/bumpers other than the initial splash screen.

Proposal:  replace OWNERS with GUILD

format:
ldap skill-level

where skill-level is one of apprentice, crafter, journeyer,  master and grandmaster

optionally allow 'retired' in front of the above.

And we could have languge-related GUILDs too, though I wouldn't call my readability review CL a _masterpiece_.....

When was the last time anyone ever changed an RPC deadline flag?

Can we get rid of all of them entirely now that deadline propagation is a thing and rpc services support a default deadline option?

  rpc foo(FooRequest)  returns (FooResult) {
    option deadline = 5.0;
    option fail_fast = true;

For a company born on the web we sure do an awful job marking up our sites with relevant data.

Almost all of the images on the new Sidewalk Labs site are transparent (see below).  There is no schema.org,  opengraph or other semantic markup.

I hate to add another step to launchcal, but cmon, this is embarrassing.  The fix is easy:
- Save page as HTML in Chrome.
- Put page (and linked assets in some secret, yet public web site)
- Preview this on G+, Facebook, and Twitter at the very least.
- Use Webmaster Tools / Search Console to make sure that search knows about your domain and use tools within.

Google -Hospice- -Upstate Farm- Pasture Service

Hallway conversation with @104255968520200310944 and @101824307711135795640:  wouldn't it be great if there was a way to export a dead service's data into an sstable and allow for deletion/takeout?  That way you could turn down the service more easily and get rid of zombie code.

As you can see the naming quickly went to the morbid side.

So what are people using to get photos in from old-school cameras?

The Eye-Fi X2 is now basically useless for this:
- They used oauth 1 for their "PICASAWEB" upload feature.  This is now broken.
- They used iPhoto APIs to upload photos.  The new Apple Photos App doesn't have integration hooks, so again, nothing.

Their new offerings only upload to their own cloud, so I'm left with useless hardware.  Yay progress.
