I just checked the Chrome desktop[0] and Android SDK[1] download pages, and both do follow the guidelines - clicking on the download button reveals the EULA which the user must agree to prior to downloading the software. [0]: https:/&

Side note: clicking on the download button on that page reveals the EULA which the user must accept before downloading. I agree that the support agent probably shouldn't have responded "lol", but Google's download page i

My interpretation is just that if an uploader turns on monetization for a video, then the money they make for that video can come from both ads and from the people with paid subscriptions (i.e., you can't have a video which doesn'

failoverflow was actually right; while scaleX(-1) is present, it's overridden: http://i.imgur.com/mNjGE0F.png It doesn't matter though, both transforms have the same effect.

What you describe is already supported, though it looks like it's only available for paid videos or channels (anyone can set whether or not a video of theirs is "mature" and should be age-restricted, however). The rating leve

Side note: click-to-play is a usability feature, not a security feature. It's still possible for Flash code to run before the user "clicks to play".

This is exactly what I'm talking about. No one knows what each other is talking about when saying "UW". Looking at chris_va's profile, it appears he was talking about the University of Washington. Most of the US probably

Note that "UW" is a very overloaded term: - University of Washington - University of Waterloo - University of Wisconsin - University of Wyoming etc.

It appears to me (from my quick glance through it) that all of the domains follow the pattern of alternating consonants and vowels (with an additional rule which is that it allows for two identical consonants in a row, e.g. "mm" o

This isn't really too surprising; this is the kind of problem you have when you try to automatically enforce real name policies. When you try to create a system which separates real names from made up ones, it's a lot harder when

This reminds me a bit about the Mozilla Bespin editor from several years ago. They've since merged with the ACE editor, but before the merge they drew everything on a <canvas>. There's some more information about that here:

Unless I'm reading this wrong, according to the End-to-End docs, it looks like keys are kept in a "Key Directory", and that Google will run one Key Directory, but you can use whatever Key Directory you want. I haven't s

Why does that make you angry? Sometimes, reimplementing how loading works can make your website more performant, for example. If JavaScript gives developers the power to make their websites better, why shouldn't they take advantage of

1. This is rarely a problem. You want to be careful about writing code that will take a long time to execute, but most long-running APIs are async which helps a lot. 2. Weak typing is a nice feature for prototyping, but for larger projects,

Dart can as well. In fact, I think that the whole type spec in AtScript is based on Dart. Edit: Quote from the doc you linked: "This runtime type system is modeled after Dart’s runtime type assertion. Dart users working on large scale
