"As a matter of fact, when we went public, I was a little disturbed that 5 people who had been with us in our little office from the start and had been so important—Randy Wigginton, Chris Espinosa, a couple of young kids, and a couple of older ones just hadn't gotten any stock. I felt that they were a part of this whole energy and excitement and passion for what computers were going to be and what we were doing and how right it was. If somebody is sitting there working till 2:00am with you, helping to write a little code, and says, "Wow that is a cool one," those words mean a lot to you and they deserve something. So I gave each of those 5 a large amount of stock, probably a million dollars in that day. And that was an early day for a million dollars."

Really respect him for doing the right thing.

I think Google is betting more on "Magic Leap" than Glass. If "Magic Leap" is successful then I don't think Google will continue investing in Glass.

Do the passwords provided in the mail actually work?

Loved this quote from her professor: “To me, I wish I wasn’t 70 years old. I wish I was her age and could be in on this. Because this is going to be a long, exciting, fascinating, exhilarating ride.”

I don't get it. If someone is not hungry then what's the point of paying more for a larger pizza when you are probably not going to eat all of it. I am also surprised that we think it's fine to buy more than what we can eat just because we can pay for it!

As all data is encrypted when stored, I think it will have serious performance degradation for large databases. If it performs well then it will be interesting to know how Google is achieving that.

How well will "Differential Updates" work for minified files?

Can they force people to reveal the password of an encrypted disk or a Truecrypt container? If someone refuses to give the password can they be denied entry into the country?

I think Truecrypt hidden volumes can be useful in such cases.

This message is displayed when you try to search for more than 5 colours :)

"In accordance with common sense, decency, propriety, sobriety, and the Revised Search Limitations Act of 1742, we respectfully inform you, our dear user, that the number of colours searched upon must not exceed 5. Thank you for your cooperation."

Now-a-days we have computers which can show more than 80 characters at a time. "Keep lines fewer than 80 characters", Is this recommendation still valid?

Edited the title to reflect what the app actually does.

If you are using HTTPS Everywhere addon on Firefox, you will have to disable it on this site to read the article.

TL;DR: For now TSP-OPTIMIZE is in NP-Hard but not (necessarily) in NP, so its not in NP-Complete. TSP-DECIDE is both in NP-Hard as well as NP, and is therefore NP-Complete.

I sent an SMS to play but haven't received a response yet. Can it be played by people from outside the USA?

This is the work of a true hacker! Every programmer should have the attitude to look beyond the obstacles and strive to find solutions to the problems that they face.

Maybe it's an old law which has not been revised to keep in sync with the modern times.

Were these passwords stored as plain text? Is there more info on how the hackers got hold of these?
