Hmm, I posted a "Citation needed" and got downvoted, but I really would be interested to read if this is true. I kept up with the threads on the mailing list for a long time and never saw any such promise (there was talk about &qu

At Google's scale you need more much incentive to get anything done. This is even more true when it is something that will touch every division, product, and service. What every IT shop wants doesn't necessarily relate in any stra

The idea that Google was industry leading on non-batch loads in 2013 seems wrong to me. They were not selling those services then, so they did not have a positive profit motive to optimize that usage (only a motivation to cut costs, which I

That seems like a pretty empty justification. - Amazon already has immense attack surface - software is generally distributed without warranty and includes liability disclaimers - They wouldn't even be distributing any of the software.

Is this in your contract / some IP agreement you sign? I wonder if they would drop this as fast as they dropped the warehouse employee anti-compete agreement if it was publicized. It would also be interesting to hear from a lawyer with

Only if github actually stopped hosting the attacked repositories. Otherwise it would be more of a Streisand effect, raising awareness of the workings of the great firewall and that there are effective tools that circumvent the filtering. T

The lack of persistence built into the protocol (and thus clients) is a big problem for team communications. You can have a bot log your channel, but they'll often have holes creep into the logs somehow, and for private discussions req

No one will stop you from looking. They will stop you from making it useful to other people.

In many cases, both of these actions are also in violation of the license/ToS for the software/website.

There are plenty of people choosing not to use certain services because of the politics of their companies, business models, and yes software. The calculus changes when you go from client to server software, but licensing is intimately tied

Each of Amazon's high profile failures did have many people formulating previously non-existent escape plans though, and there are now several alternatives in this space that can offer the same scale. It's obviously not going to d

No. Your question may have been serious, but it's also ridiculous, unless you have a much more technically detailed contract with Verizon than I've ever seen.

Fast build time is explicitly something Go was built for, to fix 40 minute compile times.

Doesn't this assume that compiler complexity/work is not a cost?

Is there information anywhere about what, if any, license (CC or otherwise) the data is/would be under? All I saw was that the SDK is MIT.

This is what the backup, one time use codes are for. You should keep a set in your wallet, bag, or whatever non-electronic thing you keep with you all the time. I have so far had to use that once in the time since google introduced 2-factor

Unfortunately the non-native experience was never very good, and even the example implementers they pointed to were hit or miss for actually working cross browser. I do kind of hope they use heartbleed to make a second push with it fast, wh

I wish it wasn't the case, as I'd prefer they make smaller devices too, but it's not a simple minded meme. It's market research.

This is where one time codes that you keep in your wallet come in. Many second factor auth systems use this. There is a list of 10 codes that can be used once each (and they're only valid used in order, so only one is valid at a time).

Not really the same. Anything that implements standard javascript will be able to run asm.js code just fine, even if they don't implement the possible optimizations. The same isn't true for NaCL.
