You could accomplish the same thing with a public static Object[] createArray(Object... objects) { ... } but doing it statically, hard-coded like this is faster. You leave it to the compiler to determine the length of the arguments, rath

I think the real lesson is that in a company of 20,000 employees, nothing stays confidential for long... Very irresponsible behavior from whoever leaked this. Here's hoping no Googlers get mugged for their bonus today

"The setup lowers Google's overseas tax bill, but it also affects U.S. tax revenues as the government struggles to close a projected $1.4 trillion budget gap." It's a ridiculous notion that any single corporation's tax contribution will put

I think this statistic is neither surprising nor problematic. Would you really expect more than 36% of the workforce to be frequently deserving of recognition? The job of management is not to give lip-service praise to all their employees.

When I saw this headline I was wondering how they managed to get pictures from Antarctica, but looking at Google Maps, it just looks like a geotagged photo-album

Which begs the question, if you search for a tree in an empty forest and nobody logs it, does it make a sound? (Lumberjack pun not intended)

From the original, the darker bar is the average time spent on the site, while the lighter one is the average number of pages viewed. Shame on boingboing for using a key-less graph.

I could be wrong, but it looks like it's used to create mini-sites, so being able to use Javascript seems more like a feature than an xss vulnerability.

I think the functionality is great, I especially like the data aggregation options that you provide. That said, I think the design needs polish. This is nitpicky, but looking at the demo, there's no visual distinction between the time and t

On a desktop keyboard maybe, but I'd much prefer this method of input on a phone with a touch-screen keyboard

I did this until it suggested "I'ma let you finish but Beyonce had one of the..." I guess this particular phrase has been on the internet so much that it skews the machine learning algorithm.

This reminded me of a story I saw a while back about Google patenting a modular datacenter structure: http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2010/06/18/googl... I wonder how similar these designs are

Agreed, but I wonder what kind of red tape you would need to go through to raid a data center instead (if there did happen to be a data center in Korea)

Does anybody have details on what security requirements remain to be met? I've always thought of Google as being pretty good with data security

It also looks like most people check HN at work on the weekdays, which is to be expected.

I personally find this article misleading (ignoring the fact that it is criticizing a 9-month old change). "No way to reconfigure this change." Having the ability to change such a trivial setting would be terribly annoying. This type of "ad

This may be a silly question, but what is it about a Lorenz attractor that makes it a fractal? I can't imagine that it's self-similar, which I remember as being a necessary condition.

I'm playing around with the resume editing, which is pretty clean so far. I am wondering what the difference is between "project descriptions", "course or training information", and "job and project experience". It seems like you could comb
