Finding a good set of key bindings is unfortunately not all that easy, and something I'd rather not have to do. What's frustrating is the lack of consistency within linux as to what are appropriate keybindings at the OS/Application level wh

Wow, that's a hell of a preamble just to bitch about Facebook. Facebook emerged in a competitive market and was successful because it was visionary and was extremely well executed. I think that they deserve the success that they've had, and

FWIW, I think that removing inheritance is a major strength of Go. Interfaces and composition give you most or all of what you want and get you in a lot less trouble.

2fa with chrome sync is a PITA. I've found the best way to enable sync is to login to gmail which usually triggers a dialog that asks you whether you want to use those credentials for chrome sync.

I think you fail to explain why one precludes the other. (WRGT ads vs a user's best interest). And I also think that you're overly focused on the monetization aspect of current search technology. Which neither search in general nor Google i

gmail sells your data?

FWIW I assumed gmail was down because of gchat going grey and saying it couldn't communicate. It turns out the mail is actually still working, so it's just gchat that's down.

You would be more in control of your holiday airliner trip if you were allowed to fly the plane instead of the qualified pilot, that might not be a good thing though. Visibility of the issue is dependent on knowing what the problem is. When

I've been thinking about this a lot myself. I think that software is eventually going to have to help us stay disciplined in concentrating on one thing at a time. Of course people are creeped out by the idea of software that tells us what

and if Google's allegations a while back are to be believed ( http://searchengineland.com/google-bing-is-cheating-copying-... ), the quality of Bing's search results depend on Google.

Metered internet would be devastating to the current primary publishing monetization platform. I.e. people will be far more likely to block ads if they're paying for them by the KB. We'd have to come up with a way to have publisher paid ba

Larry Page, like anybody else with any chops in the business, understands that the internet is about communication, and communication is about identity, data, and a sharing protocol. If Facebook owns those things, they own everything. As lo

the sad part of this is that Google used to be about being 'open', i.e. open standards and federated services. I like the notion of my indexer containing both public and acld data, but it's very Microsoftish that all the ACLd data has to e

Being able to 'talk the talk' will not get you a job at Google. You have to be a very strong problem solver, a fast thinker, and lucky. All Googlers might not be rockstar programmers, but they are almost all unusually intelligent. There re
