Changes to Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service

				Is this email not displaying properly? View it in your browser.
Dear Google user, We're getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and replacing them with one that's a lot shorter and easier to read. Our new policy covers multiple products and features, reflecting our desire to create one beautifully simple and intuitive experience across Google. We believe this stuff matters, so please take a few minutes to read our updated Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at http://www.google.com/policies. These changes will take effect on March 1, 2012.
One policy, one Google experience
Easy to work across Google Our new policy reflects a single product experience that does what you need, when you want it to. Whether you're reading an email that reminds you to schedule a family get-together or finding a favorite video that you want to share, we want to ensure you can move across Gmail, Calendar, Search, YouTube, or whatever your life calls for with ease.		Tailored for you If you're signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries – or tailor your search results – based on the interests you've expressed in Google+, Gmail, and YouTube. We'll better understand which version of Pink or Jaguar you're searching for and get you those results faster.		Easy to share and collaborate When you post or create a document online, you often want others to see and contribute. By remembering the contact information of the people you want to share with, we make it easy for you to share in any Google product or service with minimal clicks and errors.
Protecting your privacy hasn't changed Our goal is to provide you with as much transparency and choice as possible, through products like Google Dashboard and Ads Preferences Manager, alongside other tools. Our privacy principles remain unchanged. And we'll never sell your personal information or share it without your permission (other than rare circumstances like valid legal requests).		Got questions? We've got answers. Visit our FAQ at http://www.google.com/policies/faq to read more about the changes. (We figured our users might have a question or twenty-two.)
Notice of Change March 1, 2012 is when the new Privacy Policy and Terms will come into effect. If you choose to keep using Google once the change occurs, you will be doing so under the new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Please do not reply to this email. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered. Also, never enter your Google Account password after following a link in an email or chat to an untrusted site. Instead, go directly to the site, such as mail.google.com or www.google.com/accounts. Google will never email you to ask for your password or other sensitive information.

Obama in China in Retrospect: Complete Fail

Obama in China in Retrospect: Complete Fail

James Fallows is a stupid faggot, albeit probably more stupid than faggot. In a recent blog post he sarcastically writes that We All Know that Obama was humiliated and stonewalled by the haughty Chinese leaders, in contrast to the titanic American presidents of yore who spoke sternly to Mao and his successors and therefore always got just what they wanted in Beijing. Richard Cohen of the Washington Post has reminded us of his fecklessness again. And yet...my favorite newspaper of all, the (state-controlled) China Daily, has just indicated in its November 25 edition that China's recent year-long freeze on the value of the RMB may be about to end. (Thanks to my friend Jeremy Goldkorn, of Danwei.org in Beijing, for the tip.) If Obama had "demanded" this in public, or insisted that it be announced while he was standing next to Hu Jintao in Beijing, his "toughness" might have received better one-day coverage in the U.S. press or on SNL.  But the chances of his getting what he was after would be nil. Of course, the chances are still uncertain. But this was the major item on the economic-rebalancing agenda; and the Administration's argument all along was that influencing China's behavior was a long game. This news story is not conclusive but does support rather than weaken the long-game approach. So, in effect: "Look, I know important bloggers inside China and rely on state-run media, you can trust me on this--Obama has China right where he wants it!"

The non-linear relationship of coding effort and results

The non-linear relationship of coding effort and results

This is counter-intuitive, so I don't think most users of software understand it.

Picture a situation like this: an app crashes every time you click a certain button. What does that say?

Well, a crash is a very bad thing, so it probably means a great deal of effort to fix it. It seems like there should be a relationship between the badness of a result and the time it would take to fix it.

But there isn't. Not necessarily, at least.

A crash can be the simple result of a single missing or mis-placed character. (A very embarrassing crash in NetNewsWire 3.2 was the result of a missing :. I think 3.2.1 differed from 3.2 only in that it added that : at the right place.)

There's another level of non-linearity: just because a fix is really, really, easy to implement (such as just adding a : at the right place) doesn't mean the level of effort is small. It may take a week to find exactly what the problem is. Once figured out, it may take 3 seconds to fix it.

Or... not. It may take only seconds to figure out the problem, and just a few more to fix it. Sometimes a crash log and a peek at the code are all that's required. Sometimes the worst, most obviously bad results have the quickest find-and-fix time. Sometimes.

What had me thinking about this was some coding I did over the weekend.

In a new operation (not in the current shipping version), I noted the app was allocating about 100MB of RAM, for something that should never have gone above about 50K or so.

About 10 minutes later I had it down to 4MB.

But I still need to get it down to about 50K — I still need to shave off about 4MB.

If it took 10 minutes to reduce memory usage by 96MB, then — were there a linear relationship — it should take under half a minute, less than 30 seconds, to go the rest of the way.

That's the way things work in the real world, after all. If you have 100 bags of leaves to carry out to the curb, each bag will take about the same amount of time as the others.

Instead, it will probably take me about two hours, maybe more, to get rid of that last 4MB.

It's almost as if you carried out 96 bags of leaves easily and quickly, then realized you can't get those last four bags, even though they're exactly the same as all the others, without pouring a new driveway first.

Which is crazy, right? If the real world operated like that all the time, we'd go completely nuts.

Anyway. Enough rambling.

Now it's time to do a prime number of handstands, then touch all the walls of my office (twice) with the index finger of my left hand, then iron my tinfoil hat, then get back to programming.

Lots to do.
