Data centers – Google Data centers Back When you're on a Google website (like right now), you're accessing one of the most powerful server networks in the known Universe. But what does that actually look like? Who's behind the doors of the vast global web we call the Internet? What makes a good hometown for the Web? Google has been working for years to optimize our data center designs in order to minimize our environmental footprint. At our data center in Pryor, Oklahoma, we've built strong ties with the Cherokee community. One of the reasons Google chose the city of Lenoir, North Carolina is its roots as a factory town in the furniture industry. Our data center in Belgium is notable for being the first to operate without water chillers. Here among Oregon’s rolling hills, snow-capped peaks and brisk Columbia River, we make Google products and services available to the entire world. Here in Berkeley County, we’ve tried to give back more than jobs to the community.

Scientists know that the work they’re doing has a profound impact on people’s lives. Chris Bowden explains the RAS-RAF pathway, an important and evolving area of cancer research.
Imaging - Technology We have developed cutting edge technologies across the complete imaging chain. From capturing photons in orbit to processing pixels on the ground, we have the flexibility to provide global businesses unprecedented transparency. The laws of physics make high-resolution imaging very challenging from small satellites. Our researchers and engineers have experience working on some of the world's most advanced imaging technologies, allowing us to approach the theoretical limits of performance. Telescopes Taking quality pictures from space is hard. Cameras and Sensors Traditional satellites capture imagery like a copier machine — with a line scanner that builds up images row-by-row. Contrary to line scanners, these sensors allow us to capture a video stream. And the best part?
Welcome to Apache™ Hadoop®! Marissa Mayer Early life and education[edit] Mayer was born in Wausau, Wisconsin, the daughter of Margaret Mayer, an art teacher of Finnish descent,[13] and Michael Mayer, an environmental engineer who worked for water companies.[14][15][16] After her 1993 graduation from Wausau West High School,[17] Mayer was selected by Tommy Thompson, then the Governor of Wisconsin, as one of the state's two delegates to attend the National Youth Science Camp in West Virginia.[18] Mayer graduated with honors from Stanford University with a B.S. in symbolic systems and an M.S. in computer science. For both degrees, her specialization was in artificial intelligence. In 2009, the Illinois Institute of Technology granted Mayer an honoris causa doctorate degree in recognition of her work in the field of search.[19][20] Mayer interned at SRI International in Menlo Park, California, and Ubilab, UBS's research lab based in Zurich, Switzerland.[21][22] Career[edit] Google[edit] Yahoo! In April 2013, Mayer changed Yahoo!'

Teams and Roles - Google Careers Whether building products, growing businesses or helping to keep Google going, we do cool stuff that matters. Browse through our teams and roles to find the best fit for you. Build cool stuff. Engineering & Design Take on technology’s greatest challenges and make an impact on millions. Program Rules – Application Security – Google We have long enjoyed a close relationship with the security research community. To honor all the cutting-edge external contributions that help us keep our users safe, we maintain a Vulnerability Reward Program for Google-owned web properties, running continuously since November 2010. Services in scope In principle, any Google-owned web service that handles reasonably sensitive user data is intended to be in scope. This includes virtually all the content in the following domains: *.google.com *.youtube.com *.blogger.com *.orkut.com Bugs in Google-developed browser apps and extensions tagged as "by Google" in the Chrome Web Store will also qualify. The program has three key exclusions: Non-web applications are generally not in scope. Important: Please keep in mind that some Google-branded services hosted in less common domains may be operated by third parties. Qualifying vulnerabilities Non-qualifying vulnerabilities Depending on their impact, some of the reported issues may not qualify.
HTTP cookies, or how not to design protocols For as long as I remember, HTTP cookies have been vilified as a grave threat to the privacy of online browsing; wrongly so. That said, the mechanism itself is a very interesting cautionary tale for security engineers - and that will be the theme of today's feature. Cookies were devised by Lou Montulli, a Netscape engineer, somewhere in 1994. Lou outlined his original design in a minimalistic, four-page proposal posted on netscape.com; based on that specification, the implementation shipped in their browser several months later - and other vendors were quick to follow. It wasn't until 1997 that the first reasonably detailed specification of the mechanism has been attempted: RFC 2109. Three years later, another, somewhat better structured effort to redesign cookies - RFC 2965 - proved to be equally futile. They have Internet over there, too? Perhaps the most striking issue - and an early sign of trouble - is the problem of domain scoping. 8K ought to be enough for for anybody "Oh, please.

Google platform Google's first production server rack, circa 1998 The Google platform refers to the computer software and large hardware resources Google uses to provide their services. This article describes the technological infrastructure behind Google's websites as presented in the company's public announcements. Hardware[edit] Original hardware[edit] The original hardware (circa 1998) that was used by Google when it was located at Stanford University included:[1] Sun Microsystems Ultra II with dual 200 MHz processors, and 256 MB of RAM. Production hardware[edit] According to Google their global data center operation electrical power ranges between 500 and 681 megawatts.[6][7] The combined processing power of these servers might have reached from 20 to 100 petaflops in 2008.[8] Network topology[edit] In order to run such a large network with direct connections to as many ISP as possible at the lowest possible cost Google has a very open peering policy.[12] Project 02[edit] Summa papermill[edit] Index[edit]
Google C++ Style Guide Definition: Streams are a replacement for printf() and scanf(). Pros: With streams, you do not need to know the type of the object you are printing. You do not have problems with format strings not matching the argument list. (Though with gcc, you do not have that problem with printf either.) Cons: Streams make it difficult to do functionality like pread(). Decision: Do not use streams, except where required by a logging interface. There are various pros and cons to using streams, but in this case, as in many other cases, consistency trumps the debate. Extended Discussion There has been debate on this issue, so this explains the reasoning in greater depth. Proponents of streams have argued that streams are the obvious choice of the two, but the issue is not actually so clear. cout << this; // Prints the address cout << *this; // Prints the contents The compiler does not generate an error because << has been overloaded. And so on and so forth for any issue you might bring up.
