""Then the Oregonian pulls out his gun, shoots the Californian, and says 'We have plenty of them around here.'"" - Brad Fitzpatrick

"I'm curious: how do you think Google should deal with China?" - Brad Fitzpatrick

"Get back to work! :)" - Brad Fitzpatrick

Facebook privacy controls. - LogEx

"And no pre-fetching. Once you hit a site that's not in your cache, you're stuck waiting on the origin or your upstream recursive resolver. (I also run my own caching DNS at home, but its upstream is now Google)" - Brad Fitzpatrick

"Yeah, Chromium OS is just one example." - Brad Fitzpatrick

"Regarding the GAFYD account woes (speaking most unofficially as a Google employee): the problem has not gone unnoticed. Hang in there for a bit. I'm in the same boat with my personal account and it's painful, we know." - Brad Fitzpatrick

"Well, HTTP/1.1 pipelining is another attempt, but one that's almost entirely failed in reality due to both its deficiencies (replies have to be in order, etc) and all the broken proxies (transparent and otherwise) that lie and say they're HTTP/1.1 but actually fuck up pipelining. So in practice clients don't use it, because it's not safe. Great thing about SPDY and forced SSL is there it's hard to have any broken transparent proxies! :)" - Brad Fitzpatrick

"Bandwidth != Latency. A high bandwidth connection doesn't help reduce the overall latency of bunches of serialized requests." - Brad Fitzpatrick

"Make sure you support the sharing Intent. I don't want to start uploading using your Activity from the drawer. I want to take a photo, then press Share, then just see the imgur uploader choice in my "Share Using..." list." - Brad Fitzpatrick

"tldr" - Brad Fitzpatrick

"It installed on my Magic. Did you install it from the Market or the .apk from the code.google.com site? If the latter, did you have "Permit Application from Unknown Sources" enabled? HTC Magic is the same processor as the G1." - Brad Fitzpatrick

I'm stoked about this news - almost worth paying my $250 termination fee and getting an Android phone for - Jesse Stay

"It does if you're in the whitelist! :-) http://www.google.com/s2..." - Brad Fitzpatrick

"That's not decided yet." - Brad Fitzpatrick

I'm a big Brad Fitz fan! - Jesse Stay

"That's a Google-specific thing you can do with it. Phrased another way: "If I give you my email address today, there's no standardized, decentralized way to get information from it, if an authenticated form." I could put up a webpage with your email address on it with a bunch of naked photos, claiming to be associated to that email, and you should trust it because it was the highest Google search, just because I could flow more PageRank at my trolling page than you could?" - Brad Fitzpatrick

"Don't worry, I don't like Google-specific stuff. I only care about decentralized, open systems." - Brad Fitzpatrick

Reminds me of the gloriousness of the Amiga/AtariST demo scene. - Brett Slatkin

I thought my tetris, pacman, and LiveJournal client in Excel were cool, but this totally wins. - Brad Fitzpatrick

"--enable-extensions http://dev.chromium.org/develop..." - Brad Fitzpatrick

"> There's no way a business can afford to have the terms of service unilaterally changed. I stopped reading your comment there. You said "business", but this article is about reducing the free quota limits, right? You run your business on freebie quota?" - Brad Fitzpatrick

"Now fixed." - Brad Fitzpatrick

"It's a pity we can't SHA sum git repos!" - Brad Fitzpatrick

"I actually didn't mind the startup overhead much because AppEngine stuff actually runs more like FastCGI. I can't remember the operations that seemed so slow. In any case, I'm happy to see the Perl community converging around Moose and further progress being made on it." - Brad Fitzpatrick

"Is Moose still incredibly slow? Last time I used it I was offended by how much CPU it burned for things that should be fast normally." - Brad Fitzpatrick

"Git's HTTP support is very slow. To see why Google Project Hosting doesn't (yet?) support git, see: http://code.google.com/p..." - Brad Fitzpatrick

I was going to create one, but http://www.google.com/search... just gives me some news stories then suggests that I should search for "yahoo profiles". - Paul Buchheit

I have never gotten a spam on this gmail address, but I still feel strongly that there should be a choice for an alias in the vanity profile URL. People want control. I don't want to have to fend off random GTalk requests either, or who-knows-what from a future service. I'm willing to bet that Google will add it. - LogEx

"Linux version is in svn." - Brad Fitzpatrick

"Did anybody else read this as, "If IBM owns Java .... it'll be: .... JAVA WORLD!" ?" - Brad Fitzpatrick

"It's true that a lot of people don't use it, but it's not an HR invention. I use all of my 20% time (and then some, probably), as do lots of people. Some people are perfectly happy without it, though, and don't use it. To each his own. I've never heard of anybody being discouraged from taking it. (which seems a weird claim in any case, since you don't need to declare it or account for it...)" - Brad Fitzpatrick

"I wish browsers could do this natively without Flash. :(" - Brad Fitzpatrick

"Set Gmail to always use SSL." - Brad Fitzpatrick
